Hmm ...

I will send out Frollo the Medicham and Maleficent the Hydreigon. Sorry Ursula, but when the opponent brings two ghost-types and a dark-type, you're just gonna get chewed up.

Pulse, my Rotom, and Cizin, my Yamask, to the stage!

Pulse, begin with a Shadow Ball at Frollo. Then Substitute (15 HP), then Shadow Ball Frollo.
Should you be taunted by action 2, swap that Substitute to a Shadow Ball. also at Frollo.

Cizin, Will-O-Wisp Maleficent. Then Ominous Wind Frollo. Finally, Will-O-Wisp on Frollo.
Should you ever be taunted, swap all actions to Ominous Wind on Frollo.

Well, Frollo will no doubt be getting a barrier on him, thanks to the number of moves that are targeting him.

Frollo, begin by using Foresight on the Rotom, then follow that up with a Fake Out on the Rotom, causing him to flinch and fail at putting up a substitute. Finish the round with a Detect to avoid incoming attacks.

Maleficent, first I want you to Protect yourself against the first Will-O-Wisp, then you are to Dark Pulse the Yamask and finally Dark Pulse the Yamask again.

By my calculations neither of my opponent's pokemon will get a barrier.

--------------------

Alright here we are, courtesy of the great Protegas’ infamous hospitality, in Protegas’ Sanctuary! Protegas hates Pokemon that get ganged up on, so he’s offered his help today in helping out the little guy. Before Protegas’ incredible altar stand two trainers, Objection and Dogfish44, who are ready to battle!

Objection sends out his two battlers, Frollo the Medicham and Maleficent the Hydreigon to duke it out with Dogfish44’s Pulse the Rotom and Cizin the Yamask! This should be interesting!

Upon hearing the trainers commands, Protegas becomes very upset at Dogfish44’s attempts to flood Frollo with attack after attack, so it offers a protective barrier to the Medicham to help it out! Maleficent, sensing an attack, puts up a Protective barrier while watching Frollo’s barrier take the brunt of a Shadow Ball from Pulse! Frollo, from its safe position, locks on to Pulse with its Foresight before Cizin loses a Will-o-Wisp against Maleficent’s protective barrier! Objection’s got barriers everywhere!

With an eye towards strategy, Frollo Fakes Out Pulse, causing it tremendous confusion and causing it to flinch! Maleficent takes the offensive route as well, launching a huge Dark Pulse at Cizin that does critical damage! Cyzin once again aims an attack at Frollo, this time an Ominous Wind that’s powerful enough to break Protegas’ barrier and do some slight spillover damage!

And now Frollo feels uncomfortable without its barrier, so it focuses real hard to Detect any attacks coming its way. Maleficent launches another nasty Dark Pulse at Cizin for another round of incredible damage while its opponents charge up their attacks. Good thing Frollo has that other barrier up now, because both Pulse and Cizin try to nab it with attacks that simply dissipate against the mystical wall! How many more protective barriers will we see today?

Objection --> Dogfish44 --> Korski

All righty then. At least we now know that the Rotom is not a Zorua in disguise.

Frollo, we need to plan your moves accordingly. Hi Jump Kick the Rotom in the face twice and then Bulk Up. If, however, Rotom puts up a Substitute on the first action, replace your first action with Brick Break on the Rotom and the second action with Force Palm on the Rotom.

Maleficent, begin by Taunting the Yamask - we don't want any more Will-O-Wisps from that thing. Follow up with a Dark Pulse against the Yamask and finally Taunt the Rotom.

Pulse: Will-O-Wisp on Maleficent, then jump into a Freezer. Finish up with a Blizzard!

Yamask: Protect yourself, then Disable Maleficent's taunt. Finish up with a Will-O-Wisp on Frollo.

Pulse's freezer forme is:

--------------------

Barriers erupt once again as Cyzin puts up a Protective screen in front of itself, just in time to block out the grotesque imagery and foul wordplay of Maleficent’s Taunts! Pulse fires off a Will-o-Wisp at the dragon, only to have it miss by a hair! Frollo, meanwhile, jumps in for a Hi Jump Kick that nails Pulse for big damage!

Maleficent does not like opponents playing around at all, so it returns to its former strategy of Dark Pulsing the snot out of Cyzin! Pulse looks like its up to something, floating over to some trash in the corner and disappearing into a freezer that someone carelessly left behind in this ancient and serene sanctuary, changing forms completely! Cool. Too bad for Pulse, though, as Frollo comes in with another Hi Jump Kick that smashes HARD into its new icy exterior! Cyzin, a little alarmed at the antics, chooses to play it safe by Disabling Maleficent’s Taunt with its crazy ghost powers!

Maleficent tries anyway to Taunt Pulse, but as it opens its mouth, only messages of admiration for the cool arena and shows of respect for its opponent come out, affecting no one negatively at all! Pulse pulls some freezer burn out of nowhere and lays out with a Blizzard attack that nails its opponents for great damage! Frollo, a little chilly, Bulks Up its muscles to preserve heat and raise its stats, during which Cyzin takes the advantage to administer 2nd-degree Burns with a Will-o-Wisp! Frollo sure is warm now, but maybe a little too warm...

Dogfish44 --> Objection --> Korski

Rotom is Ice/electric, not Ghost/Ice.
Anyway, this match has already served its purpose.

Cizin, let's go with a Hex on Frollo, then a Will-O-Wisp on Maleficent. Finish up with a Hex on Frollo.

Pullse, begin with a Blizzard, aimed only at Maleficent. Then Thunder Wave Maleficent (NO, I did not forget I had this move at all...), then Blizzard, aimed only at Malificent.

Oh good catch, duh. Fixed.

2nd degree burns are limited to one part of the body. Whereabouts is the burn on Medicham?

Either way, here's how it's gonna go down:

Frollo, Brick Break Rotom until it faints - Zen Headbutt Yamask for the rest of the round

Maleficent, Dark Pulse Yamask until it faints - Dark Pulse Rotom for the rest of the round

Okay RNGing for burn location (both arms, belly, both legs, face): 913/100 - Face (meh, supporting Flamestrike’s all-body burn proposal)

--------------------

Protegas sees Dogfish44 once again trying to overwhelm one of Objection’s Pokemon and so gives Maleficent the grace of its protective barrier! Not good for Dogfish44!

Things are looking like they’re about to wrap up, here, with Maleficent and Frollo going on the offensive with repeated Dark Pulses and Brick Breaks! Pulse and Cyzin try to fight back and get good damage in with a focused Blizzard and a mighty Hex, but, sadly, it’s not enough, and the dust settles on the ancient sanctuary. Objection WINS!

~GG TO BOTH!~

Objection: 2 TC

• Frollo the MEDICHAM: 3 MC, 1 KOC
• Maleficent the HYDREIGON: 3 MC, 1 KOC

Dogfish44: 2 TC

• Pulse the ROTOM-F: 3 MC
• Cizin the YAMASK: 1 EC, 2 MC

Korski: 4 RC

You did what you could Dogfish. GG.

And thanks for being such a fast ref Korski.

That's done all that I needed from the battle - Swapped Rotom Forme and Given Yamask some EXP.

GG Objection, that would've been somewhat easier had the arena been a little kinder to my usual strategy (And you hadn't brought Hydreigon vs my 2 ghosts Z_z)
