Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Fight Area and Battle Tower

The Fight Area is the location for any trainers seeking a challenge and the ultimate rewards for their labor.

Once you step off the ferry from Snowpoint City, you will immediately run into your rival, who is headed toward the Fight Area's resident Battle Tower looking for a challenge. Renowned trainer, Buck, interrupts you telling you about a volcano located deep in the island.

The Battle Tower
The Battle Tower is, oddly, not a place you can level up your Pokémon, but a place to see how strong your Pokémon really are, and to win great prizes. Now, there are three different ways to challenge the Battle Tower, and two additional ways to fight in those. The first is for solo challengers, the second is for Multiplayer, and the third is for Wi-Fi.

Solo Battles
Solo battles are the ones to do if you don't have a friend or Wi-Fi to play with. The rules and restrictions are as follows:
 * If you enter a level 50 match, all your opponent's Pokémon will be at level 50
 * If you enter a Pokémon higher than level 50 for a level 50 match, it will automatically be brought down to level 50
 * Pokémon under the level requirement are allowed
 * EXP. points and money not gained
 * No duplicate Pokémon are allowed
 * No Pokémon may enter holding the same item as a participating Pokémon
 * Certain Legendary Pokémon are not allowed
 * No items may be used in-battle
 * Eggs may not participate (obviously)

Now, the way the battles work is this: you choose three Pokémon (if you entered a Single Battle) or four Pokémon (if you entered a Double Battle). You will progress through a battle of seven trainers in a row. If you win a battle, you are automatically healed, and are Give three choices: Continue, Rest, or Retire.
 * Continue: fight the next trainer
 * Rest: saves your progress and allows you to exit. The next time you participate, you will start where you left off
 * Retire: quit battles and lose all progress therein

After you beat all seven trainers in a row, you will then be escorted back to the lobby. Here you will recieve 3 BP (This increases every time you win 2 consecutive rounds). You can spend this on the Exchange Counters to the right and left of the Battle Tower.

Multiplayer Battles
Multiplayer battles are double battles fought paired up with people you've paired up with earlier in your adventure. These people include Riley, Mira, Cheryl, Buck, and Marley. The combinations are:

Marley
To begin a Multiplayer Battle, walk up to the lady at the left counter in the Battle Tower. Once you accept the challenge, you will have to pick two Pokémon to fight with your allies Pokémon. Once this is done, the lady will take you up to the waiting room. Here you will need to pick one of the trainers. Once this is done, the lady will then lead you to the battle room. You will then fight seven rounds of two trainers. The battles are exactly like the Double Battles in Single mode, except your ally controls his/her own Pokémon. After you win, you will be awarded BP normally.

Exchange Counters
Note that there are two entrances, but they both lead to the same place, just on different sides.
