"Well, that Dratini is quite the pest but it's on its last legs! Start with a DynamicPunch to make it Protect and waste some precious energy, then chill to get some back of your own! Then crush it with a Dynamic Focus Punch! It'll try to Protect but the impact will be so fierce that it won't be able to stand it!"
Summary:
DynamicPunch -> chill -> DynamicPunch + Focus Punch
I am one late ref.
Round 7
Quagsires and Draco make to continue their methods, but Shadowstrike can put enough pressure on Draco's shielding to end this matchup. Can Draco pull out of this alive?

"Great job Shadowstrike, just one more left! First you'll have to recover from your combo, but then we can start to lay the hurt on! Nail him with a DynamicPunch, then follow up with an Earthquake! If he tries to use Protect to block one of your attacks, then use Rock Polish the first time and then chill every other time, and if he has Reflect up then crush it with a Brick Break!"
Summary:
cooldown -> DynamicPunch -> Earthquake
If he uses Protect successfully, use Rock Polish the first time and chill each other successful time, pushing actions back each time (top priority)
If he has Reflect up use Brick Break and push actions back
Round 8
Sizing up the opposition, Quagsires decides that the best option at this point is to go for the gusto! Shadowstrike, still legarthic from dispatching Draco, isn't quite prepared to address this threat, but he begins to lumber Staryu's way nonetheless!

"Thanks for the great work Shadowstrike, enjoy your rest." Brandon recalled his Golurk and prepared his final Pokeball. "Alright, time for the start of the show to clean up! Let's go Shockstrike! Bring on a storm with a Rain Dance, then strike him down with a Thunder! Finally, let's finish this match off in style with a Mega Thunder!"

Rain Dance -> Thunder -> Thunder + Thunder

Good game Quags, you did pretty well given the team disadvantage. Hopefully you'll actually start battling and training your mons now >_>
