The temple overlooks a vast valley filled with swirling mist, with jagged mountain peaks piercing the sky in the distance. Key Features: Vertical Terrain: The battlefield is multi-tiered, with steep steps leading up to the main altar at the top. The giant bird can swoop down from above, while players must navigate the uneven ground and use the height to their advantage. Wind Currents: Strong gusts of wind swirl through the temple, creating unpredictable updrafts and downdrafts. Players can use these to gain altitude, but they can also knock them off balance or send them tumbling down the steps. Falling Debris: As the battle progresses, sections of the temple begin to crumble. Players must avoid falling stone blocks and unstable pillars, adding a layer of urgency to the fight. Ancient Artifacts: Scattered throughout the temple are ancient artifacts that can be activated for temporary buffs or magical effects—like shielding from the bird's attacks or enhancing agility for dodging. Mist and Shadows: The valley below is shrouded in mist, creating a sense of mystery. Occasionally, the bird can disappear into the mist, making it harder to track its movements. Players must listen for its calls or watch for shadows moving in the fog. Light and Reflection: Sunlight filters through broken sections of the temple roof, creating patches of light and shadow. Players can use these to their advantage, hiding from the bird or creating distractions with reflected light. Objectives: - Defeat the Giant Bird: The main goal is to bring down the creature using strategy, agility, and the environment. - Survive the Collapse: As the battle intensifies, players must also manage their position to avoid being trapped or injured by collapsing structures. - Retrieve Artifacts: Collecting ancient artifacts can provide additional abilities or weapons to use against the bird. PARTICIPANTS: A maximum of 6 Pokemon may be brought into the battle, with a maximum of 3 out per trainer at a time.

Crumbing pillars, reaching stone fingers towards the sun. Painted motifs on dry temple walls. Was this the Misty Timberlands? Respiro strained his eyes to see, but could not tell. Perhaps not. Like everywhere else in the Arena, it likely existed just for this moment, just for this battle. But what if it didn't? Could he find it someday, if he wandered and wondered? Could he chart a path back to this place with its ancient columns and its windy corridors? The masked player's eyes moved up, up the steps, all the way up to the altar where the Colossal Rookidee waiting for him. It was not as big as he'd expected: he'd expected a zeppelin. This one was more like a cement mixer. Colossal Rookidee let out a cry that resonated in his bones. Respiro sent out Rockruff. "That's a big one!" barked the dog. Respiro gestured with one hand and the duo sprung as one up the steps. Conk-conk-conk-conk! His sandals pounded the stone as he shot up the stair-steps. Gravity tugged at him and he shrugged it off, continuing his ascent into the air itself. An invisible staircase of wind opened before him and leapt between currents, footsteps silent now, Rookidee growing larger and larger in his eye. Perhaps it was that big after all. Frighteningly so. It dwarfed him, intimidated him, made him feel small. As his steps faltered, Respiro felt himself losing altitude, the air which had felt so solid underfoot growing soft and mushy like wet food. "Don't look!" he heard Rockruff bark from below, and the dog lunged suddenly into the air, blocking Respiro's field of view. In the corner of his eye he saw a SCARY FACE attack and realized his moment of hesitation had been due to the Rookidee's power, not his own cowardice. Rockruff landed, wheezing, and Respiro kicked up bunches of dead air, sending counter-winds to assault the Rookidee from their position. One. Two. Three! Rockruff dug at the steps, dislodging a massive chunk of stone and sending it flying from between his legs. Rookidee had the high ground. This couldn't last. They needed backup: and soon.

Wumph. Wumph. Its huge wings displaced great gusts of air. Respiro could almost see it, curling in the wind, air patterns mixing like ink through water. Turbulent. Destructive. He was afraid if he sent out a new Pokemon now, they would be blown all the way down the steps. But he had no choice: it was now or never. He sent out Watchog. "Oof!" the rodent exclaimed. Respiro grabbed it with both hand just in time before it was buffeted away. He held it like a stuffed animal, feeling its little heart beating. "Thanks!" Rockruff's claws skidded on the stone and the dog yelped in alarm, not a moment too soon: the Rookidee was coming their way. "I'll shield us!" the rock-type barked, summoning a rain of stones that solidified into a half-enclosure, like an open lean-to. "Bunker down, everyone!" It wasn't enough. Rookidee was here. The wind from its wings had only been a precursor. Unlike many other regional birds, Rookidee was purely a physical attacker. When it was the size of a ping-pong-ball, its beak and claws might be painful— like being attacked by a sewing needle and a handful of pins. Colossal Rookidee's beak and claws were the size of steel girders, sharpened to points no health and safety committee would ever allow. It came at them with FURY ATTACK, beak and claws and wings that hit like feathered walls. Respiro and his Watchog were thrown down the steps, off the cliff, and into the misty valley below. …Almost. Past the edge of the cliff, Respiro's feet found air, and he launched himself back towards the cliffside. Fingers met crumbling stone as he clung to the rocky wall for dear life. There was a small alcove there which turned out to be a tunnel— he slipped into it, setting Watchog down so the meerkat could walk on its own. As they crept forward, finding another set of stairs, the fluorescent fur on the rodent's body began to glow, illuminating the interior. The walls were covered in painted murals, alcoves with offerings and carved images of unknown gods. Mosaics made of cracked pottery and mirrored shards decorated the ceiling like an inverted path. So beautiful! "You're hurt," said Watchog suddenly. Respiro caught a glimpse of its eyes in the reflection of one of the murals. The creature's multicolored orbs strobed hypnotically as healing energy flowed between them. Respiro shook his head, feeling dazed. What were they doing? They had to get back to the Colossal Rookidee battle! There was a light up ahead. They rushed towards it, finding it to be a window overlooking the steps where they'd been battling before. Respiro could see Rockruff's Rock Tomb shield, barely standing as the bird pecked and scratched at it. They were above it! Like Rookidee, Respiro had no distance attacks. He leapt, soared, arms and legs spread, and landed on its back with the force of three falling bird-men.

"I have to help him," Watchog said, turning away from the open window. It looked around the chamber they were in, multicolored eyes glowing in the dark. The room was filled with artifacts—it was almost indistinguishable, but some carried a faint glow. Magic? Not impossible, certainly not in this setting. The giant meerkat approached a stone picture frame hanging on the wall. It was hanging off-center: Watchog adjusted it. Outside, it heard a howl from Rockruff as the Colossal Rookidee was abruptly boosted, its speed increasing to a blinding degree. The massive bird, with Respiro still on it, was suddenly so fast it couldn't be seen with the naked eye. The world was painted in smears of blue POWER TRIP. Rockruff shut his eyes, desperate to tune it out. There. Smell didn't lie: he knew where the enemy was. Collecting all his energy, he fired a beam from his nose towards the source and was rewarded with a screech of pain from the Rookidee. He opened his eyes, quickly. Had he shot it out of the air? Indeed he had: and Respiro was still on it. Back in the temple, Watchog worked fast. Something else. Something else! It picked up an ancient vase and saw carved runes glow on its pedestal. Rockruff's rocky collar suddenly doubled in side as its defense was boosted, giving it arm-length spires of stone. It immediately toppled over, unable to bear the weight. Not that! Last try: an empty incense burner. Watchog looked around and saw a bundle of incense: it seized it in white paws and filled the burner. It glowed as it activated, and this time Watchog knew it had worked. It scampered to the window to see outside, just in time to see Respiro stand up on top of the falling Rookidee, crouch down, then shoot off its back towards the stairs with a mighty double jet-kick. It seemed his Attack had finally boosted. Rookidee fell into the misty valley below, eyes closing in surrender. Respiro and his Pokemon met at the altar at the top of the Ruined Sky Temple and celebrated, for today they had been victorious!
