## **Stage Info**

After acquiring eight badges and making their way through Victory Road, Pokemon Trainers in the Unova Region will find themselves here, at the Pokemon League, where they can challenge the Elite Four and have a shot at the Championship title. In Unova the Elite Four members are Shauntal, mistress of Ghost-types, Marshal, leader of Fighting-types, Grimsley, master of Dark-types, and Caitlin, dame of Psychic-types. In recent years the Unovan Pokemon League has had two different champions, Alder and Iris.

## **Stage Layout**

When the battle begins this stage has a fairly basic layout. As a midair stage it has a long solid platform in the middle, as per the norm. Additionally there are two small soft platforms which float above the main platform on its left and right sides.

During the match, N’s Castle can rise up from the background. When this happens two ramps will come in diagonally from the sides of the stage and crash into the floor of the main platform. If a character is in the way of these ramps then they will take damage and be launched upwards. This event transforms the stage from being a midair stage to a grounded stage. After a set time the ramps will recede from the stage as N’s Castle descends in the background and disappears.

While N’s Castle is in the background one of the two main Legendary Pokemon of the Unova region, Reshiram or Zekrom, will appear. Only one of these two Pokemon will be out at a time. If one appears then it will be the Legendary-of-the-Moment until N’s Castle disappears. There is also a chance that neither Reshiram or Zekrom will appear alongside N’s Castle though it is small.

## **Hazards**

### **Reshiram:**

When Reshiram appears it can attack the stage using its flames. Reshiram will spit fire from the background to cover portions of either the right, left, or both sides of the stage in flames. Naturally these flames will cause damage to any fighter that makes contact with them. Reshiram may even decide to use these flames on the center of the stage and cut off fighters on opposite sides from reaching each other unless they dare try to leap over the flames.

### **Zekrom:**

When Zekrom appears it can attack the stage using its electricity. Zekrom can do this by firing a sphere of electricity at either the left or the right side of the main platform. Doing this will cause damage and heavy knockback to any fighter who was on the affected side as well as destroying the ramp on that side. Zekrom has a stronger variant of this attack which causes the entire stage to tilt diagonally with the side the sphere hit becoming the upper part of the diagonal while the opposing side gets closer to the lower blast zones. When this occurs the ramps on both sides will be destroyed.
