Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Not exactly what I was hoping for, but we can deal with it. Moxie time!
Zen Headbutt -> Fly -> Zen Headbutt
If Ozzy uses a P/E move, change that action to Tailwind the first time, Roost the second time, and Chill the third time
If Ozzy uses an Ice-typed combination, change that action to Fly (suspend) and push actions back
Action 2
Draco flew up high! (10 EN)
Fly -> Ozzy
RNG roll (to crit) 9778 = no crit
(9+3+(6-5)1.5)(1.5)+4 = 19.75 DMG
FFFFFFUUUUU -> Draco (35 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 2067 = no crit
(27-3+(5-2)1.5)(1.5) = 42.75 DMG
Burn -> Ozzy (2 DMG)
Action 3
Zen Headbutt -> Ozzy (6 EN)
RNG roll (to hit) 3802 = hit
RNG roll (to crit) 5893 = no crit
(8+(6-5)1.5)(1.5)+4 = 18.25 DMG Ozzy fainted!
Moxie activated!
+1 Atk Draco
After a long struggle, Dummy has finally gained a type advantage with his Flying-type against Mate's Grass-type! Eagerly awaiting to dish out all the damage he can as quick as possible, Draco is prepared to attack, but Ozzy had already secured a barrier that Protects him from the blow, so Draco summons a Tailwind that greatly speeds him up while Ozzy just stands cautiously before wincing as he takes a little bit of damage from his burn, while Draco furrows his brow in anger!
Preparing another attack, Draco soars up into the sky while Ozzy takes deep breaths, preparing one devastating attack! Draco drops down and Flies into Ozzy, dealing enough to do more than halve Ozzy's remaining HP! Ozzy takes one last breath, closes his eyes... and then releases a massive Outrage combo! If I know Ozzy's master at all, that Venusaur is probably screaming about how "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is literally the worst title of all time while pounding the Salamence into the dust! After what must've been a minute of pure clobbering, the dust clears... and Draco is still standing!!! Matezoide is incredibly shocked from the sidelines, while Dummy looks overjoyed at this happy turn of events!
With Ozzy completely motionless, Draco simply charges up another Zen Headbutt and slams into Ozzy, knocking him out! The score is now technically even at 2-2 each, but Draco looks like it could faint at any moment now, and even with the ability to Endure, he doesn't look like he's gonna last that much longer, while both of Matezoide's remaining mons look like they could easily finish the job of Draco and make more than a little headway into Neville! However, nothing's written just yet, and there could be a sudden turn of events at any time!
Vacuum Wave -> Draco (3 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 9973 = no crit
(4+3+2+(1-3)1.5)(.67) = 4 DMG Draco fainted!
Burn -> Steve (2 DMG)
And before Draco can even move, Steve fires a Vacuum Wave straight into Draco's monstrous belly and knocks him out instantly, with barely any resistance from the Dragon! Looks like Dummy is now down to just Neville, and even with the Tailwind boost and the burn, it's not exactly the best position a Colosoil could be in...
gg, Matezoide. I probably didn't play as well (or as on-time) as I could/should have this match, but I'll just blame my loss on Ancient Power hax and getting counterteamed and move on with my life, like a real man. Good luck against SubJ!
Encore -> Bounce -> Bounce
If Steve successfully uses a P/E move, change that action to Chill and push actions back
If Steve uses Dodge A1, change that action to Bounce
Action 1
Steve Dodged! (5 EN)
(20-(190-110)/5)+14 = 18% chance
Neville bounced up high! (12.33 EN, 2 HP)
Bounce -> Steve
RNG roll (to hit, <=6900 hit) 5145 = hiit
RNG roll (to crit) 7438 = no crit
RNG roll (to para) 8432 = no para
(11+3+(6-2)1.5)(1.5) = 30 DMG
Burn -> Steve (2 DMG)
Action 2
Neville bounced up high! (16.33 EN)
Steve dug underground! (12 EN)
Bounce -> Steve
Miss
Dig -> Neville
RNG roll (to crit) 4501 = no crit
(8-3+(6-2)1.5) = 11 DMG
Burn -> Steve (2 DMG)
Neville's Tailwind petered out!
Action 3
Neville bounced up high! (20.33 EN)
Steve dug underground! (16 EN)
Bounce -> Steve
Miss
Dig -> Neville
RNG roll (to crit) 2190 = no crit
(8-3+(6-2)1.5) = 11 DMG
Burn -> Steve (2 DMG)
Playing it safe, Matezoide decides to take to Dodge a Bounce, but Neville finds a way to hit Steve anyway! Instead of simply slaughtering Neville with a Fighting-type combo of his choice, Steve dodges both of Neville's next two Bounces by Digging out of the way! Now that Neville is running out of time and HP and Steve is now faster, it looks like its all over for Dummy007! The fans are already cheering for Maztezoide's all but inevitable victory.
Whoopsies. Bounce didn't crit (forgot that roll too somehow) OR para, and Ape has 4 less EN (Pressure doesn't activate on Dodge). Dummy007 its back to you.
Neville, knowing that the end is nigh, throws up a Protective barrier to shield himself from any attack Steve can throw at him, but Steve is completely undeterred as he rushes forward and slides into a Low Kick that hits the barrier, and while Neville does everything he can to keep the barrier up, the raw power of the attack is just so strong, the barrier starts to show cracks throughout the entire shield, but Neville is JUST able to hang on! Its absolutely incredible that Neville actually survived that!
Not caring for his own safety, Steve jumps up and then flies straight back down with another Low Kick, dealing so much damage that Neville gives a mighty roar before falling, no longer able to battle! Unfortunately for Matezoide, Steve just put way too much into that last attack, and he is down for the count as well! However, Zero the Bronzong is still able to battle while Dummy is out of usable Pokemon, so Matezoide is the winner!

Due to Burn Colo survives A1 and Ape actually faints A2 due to Pressure (Which i forgot about)
Finally felling the gargantuan dark type, Steve raises his arms in triumph as the crowd cheers on, only to collapse soon after, being caught by his trainer just before he can hit the ground.
Easy, there, Steve...
.................
Moving his vision back to his fellow trainer and friend, Dummy, Mate cant help but smile, for managing to defeat such a skilled opponent.
Thank you for this battle, Dummy.
And with this, the trainer recalls his trusty Primeape and leaves for the nearest Pokecenter, his spirit burning stronger than ever for the most important battle of his life: The Final Round.
I would write something epic here, but I think everything that can be said has already been said. gg Mate, and good luck in the final! Also, thanks to ww for reffing, in spite of infinite sadness. ;_;
(but seriously tho Ancient Power and Smack Down for the loss amirite)
