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.
With a whopping four Pokemon knocked out all in the last round, both combatants send out their remaining Pokemon to the field. Ginny has no problems adapting into the confined spaces of the twine, yet Goyle and Christine have problems due to their large size.
Isis gleefully taunts the green jelly as Christine projects a clear wall around her burned allies. Rhadamanthys summons several curious flames which scald the gigantic Goyle, while Ginny just misses the lithe Isis with a psychokinetic shock. Meanwhile, Goyle manages to successfully launch a massive volley of stones from his mouth upon the frail Rhadamanthys for incredible damage.
Immediately after, Isis soaks Goyle with a blast of water and Christine gets up a secondary shielding around her allies. Both Rhadamanthys and Ginny exchange anti-matter blasts, while Goyle launches several jagged stones into Isis, leaving the Meowth with a fresh set of cuts and bruises.

"All right, we can do this. Keep pounding away!" (Also, Ginny should still be Taunted for 4 actions.)
Summary: Ginny: Future Sight Isis -> Hidden Power Christine; if Isis Fake Outs you on Action 1, push actions back
Goyle: Sandstorm -> Rock Slide; if Isis Fake Outs you on Action 1, push actions back
Just damage Ginny enough that she can't do nothing more, Goyle shouldn't be such a problem after being forced into a useless move (this should helps use next round so it's even better) and just attack Ginny into her reduced Special Defense
Christine: Dragon Pulse (Ginny) - Ice Beam (Ginny)
Isis: Thunderbolt (Ginny) - Water Pulse (Ginny)
Rhadamathys: Chill - Encore (Goyle)
Isis and Christine now isolate and target Ginny with beams of electricity and draconian force as Rhadamathys stands back to recuperate his stamina. Ginny, however, foresee a terrible malady upon the wily Meowth, while Goyle spins around rapidly to throw up a nasty sandstorm in the already claustrophobic twine ball. It rains harshly upon his opponents and thus Goyle is pretty proud of it.
Isis and Christine continue the pressure upon Ginny, with the Dragonair's freezing beam successfully encasing the psychokinetic jelly in ice. Taking advantage of Goyle's momentary hubris, Rhadamathys cheers on the Boldore to summon his sandstorm again, all while Ginny is completely immobile in her icy prison.

Notes:
-Dummy, Ginny will thaw out at the start of her first action in Round 11 in case you're wondering.
She's not gonna have the time to thraw out, no matter how hard se tries, we're faster than a frozen blob, and with only goyle left we should try to be as annoying as possible (yay for Parafusion!), it's getting to the end for our little friends so let's try and make it last
Christine: Dragon Pulse (Ginny) - Thunder Wave (Goyle)
Isis: Pay Day (Ginny) - Water Pulse (Goyle)
Rhadamathys: Shadow Ball (Ginny) - Confuse Ray (Goyle)
Just for the record, Duosion doesn't know Pain Split, but since she's going to die this round, it's a moot point. And yes, Isis' Special Defense is supposed to be Rank 1. Gerard, could you please correct Isis' stats for future battles please if you haven't done so? Thanks.
DUEL 11! LET'S ROCK!
The last three members of Team Gerard all gang up upon the helpless Ginny, ultimately knocking out the blob before she can fight back. Goyle is still foolishly oblivious to his teammate's plight, whipping up sandstorm after sandstorm, until a powerful supersonic stream of water from Isis knocks him into his senses. After a mighty foretold psychokinetic beam strikes directly into Isis' eyes, another team assault from Christine and Rhadamathys simultaneously paralyze and confuse the massive slab of stone. The stalwart Goyle manages to focus, raining a stream of rocks from his body that takes out Rhadamathys and leaving Isis on the brink of collapse.

Notes:
-Future Sight rolled a critical last round, which is why it did a disproportionate amount of damage.
-Since we're down to a 1v2, both sides are now free to issue three actions per Pokemon.
She's not gonna have the time to thraw out, no matter how hard se tries, we're faster than a frozen blob, and with only goyle left we should try to be as annoying as possible (yay for Parafusion!), it's getting to the end for our little friends so let's try and make it last
@Gerard: Yes, I did count the burn and Reflect with the Rock Slide. It's just Boldore has a really high attack score, which made a huge difference in the long run. Here's the calculations:
On Meowth: (8 * 0.75) - ([8 * 0.75] / 3 from Reflect) + (3 from STAB) + (5 * 1.5 from Boldore) - (2 * 1.5 from Meowth) - (3 from burn) = 8.5
On Dragonair: (8 * 0.75) - ([8 * 0.75] / 3 from Reflect) + (3 from STAB) + (5 * 1.5 from Boldore) - (3 * 1.5 from Dragonair) - (3 from burn) = 7
On Ralts: (8 * 0.75) - ([8 * 0.75] / 3 from Reflect) + (3 from STAB) + (5 * 1.5 from Boldore) - (1 * 1.5 from Ralts) - (3 from burn) = 10
Summing things up, things are not looking rosy for our rocky friend, suffering confusion, freeze, and parahax all in the same round. However, the wily Isis falls at last, passing out right after releasing a substantially weaker supersonic blast of water on the Boldore.

gg dummy, time for goyle to go down, still let's eliminate him as fast as possible, I don't want that thing to explode on my face, you've proved to be a fierce opponent but it's over now
Standing on his last legs, Goyle finally tumbles as a supersonic slash from Christine takes out the giant hunk of rock, leaving Christine as the sole survivor of this battle! The winner is Team Gerard!

gg, Gerard! This was the closest battle I've had in a while, and I think I'll reuse this arena at some point. Thanks for subreffing, TheWolfe; I promise I'll get around to you vs. Tort tomorrow! :P
