"BACK FOR MORE."

Tinku (Tomohawk)
@ Rare Candy
@ Expert Belt
[Activate Intimidate]
 

"Okay Predator, that flinch was inevitable but annoying none the less. Now time to show off your real power."

Sky Attack > Aerial Ace > Sky Attack
IF Furry Swipes AND you are to use Sky Attack THEN Brave Bird
IF Stealth Rock AND you are not taunted THEN Defog
 
Point of note, according to IRC Intimidate costs energy every time it triggers, which means that Tinku should be at 95 energy to start the round, not 100. Let me know if this is incorrect.

With Aikido down, Birkal is wasting no time moving onto his next Pokemon, and it's the one he already brought out; Tinku the Tomohawk! Her Intimidate immediately drops Predator's Attack, but it's hard to say how much that'll stop the Braviary! I suppose we'll find out!

Predator becomes cloaked in a harsh light almost immediately, hinting at bad times for Tinku in the future! She quickly puts up a Reflect to soften the blow, and WHAM! Predator nails the Tomohawk with a massive Sky Attack! And it's a critical hit, which means that Reflect did absolutely nothing to help! What a massive blow for deadfox, and what a tough break for Birkal! Predator has no mercy either, and swings right back in for a hard Aerial Ace! That stung, but at least this time the Reflect shielded Tinku from some of the damage! And Tinku doesn't take it lying down either, striking back with an Air Slash! Predator becomes cloaked in a harsh light yet again, and Tinku desperately nails him with another Air Slash, in hopes of preventing another powerful blow. And it works! Predator flinched, saving Tinku from having to take another big attack and preserving Birkal's HP lead in this matchup; though he still needs to make up ground, with all four of deadfox's Pokemon up and ready to fight!

Braviary's Defiant should have activated thanks to Intimidate and given it an attack boost and a little more damage for this round.

"GREAT."

[Mega Evolve] Rock Blast | Rock Slide | Rock Blast

If flinched, push back actions.
If Braviary is Roosting when you would attack, use Arm Thrust that action. Push back actions.​

Ugh, I just realized when I started reffing that I forgot to factor in the LO recoil from Braviary's Aerial Ace, so he starts this round at 31 HP, not 33. I don't think it changes anything for either of you (Rock Blast still OHKOes, Rock Slide and Stone Edge still 2HKO, etc), but if this somehow changes the situation let me know and we can redo the round. Sorry for the trouble.

After Tinku took some hard hits from Predator, it seems that Birkal is rethinking his choice of Pokemon, as he's withdrawing his Tomohawk! With Aikido and Blaziken down, he only has one more Pokemon left to use; which will it be! Here it comes... It's Heracross! With an Expert Belt and her trusty Heracronite, she's sure to inflict some major pain! But even with a Reflect up, a x4 weakness to Flying could be her undoing! deadfox is confident that Predator can deal with the newcomer, so here we go!

Before anything can happen, Birkal calls for Heracross to Mega Evolve into Mega Heracross! She'll definitely be looking to put the hurt on Predator! Predator wants none of that though, and quickly throws up a Protect! Just in time too, as a powerful Rock Blast comes his way! It's blocked by the Protect though, and while it ate up a fair bit of energy, Predator looks no worse for wear! And now it's going on the assault with an Aerial Ace! Yeouch! Even with the Reflect that hurts like crazy! Heracross is retaliating with a Rock Slide, but... No! It's not quite enough, and Predator stays up just long enough to hammer Heracross with a powerful Brave Bird before being KOed by recoil! Heracross's Rock Blast hits the empty air as the round comes to a close, and while Birkal finally got his first KO of the match, it came at a massive cost! It's looking like deadfox might run away with this badge, but if anyone can stop him, it's Birkal!

With Predator down, deadfox needs a replacement for him! Will he go to his still-fresh Crobat, or will he instead go back to one of his two Pokemon that have already seen battle? Looks like the latter, as Woosh the Tomohawk retakes the field! Can he finish off Heracross without taking a boatload of damage in return?

Birkal knows that unless he does something Heracross isn't long for this world staring down a Flying type, so he quickly orders for the Endure! Heracross braced herself, hopefully guaranteeing her survival for the round! Woosh had been about to fire off an Air Slash, but stopped when he saw Heracross Endure! He must have understood the futility of attacking Heracross under Endure, because he's using Roost instead! That's some much-needed extra HP for Woosh! But what's this? Heracross is using Bide! An interesting choice; deadfox will have the opportunity to deal with the Bide as he sees fit next round, but will he have a way to deal with it? Quite possibly not! Woosh is going all out on offense, firing off an Air Slash! That did massive damage, and while Heracross is storing energy he's firing off another Air Slash! Heracross endured the blow, and now has a massive amount of energy stored, ready to fire off right at the start of the next round! What will deadfox do to get out of this predicament? Is there anything he can do? We'll find out!

Well, after last round we all know what's coming here! Can Woosh do anything about it or will Birkal get a second KO with Heracross? It looks like deadfox is trying to get Woosh to pull off a Protect + Tailwind combination, but Woosh can't seem to figure out how to put the moves together! Seeing Heracross about to unleash her energy, he desperately throws up a Protect, doing his best to follow deadfox's instructions, but will it be enough? Here it comes! Heracross is unleashing her energy! A MASSIVE blow! That was an incredible attack! Heracross fainted from energy exhaustion, but we're still waiting for the smoke to clear to see what state Woosh is in! The attack was blocked... But Woosh has ALSO fainted from energy exhaustion! The Protect just too took much out of him! It's a double KO, and now we're certainly in the closing stages! With just Tinku the Tomohawk left, can Birkal complete the comeback and take down Sucker the Crobat and Shank the Gallade, or will deadfox get his badge? We're going to find out soon! Birkal has already sent out Tinku the Tomohawk, so now it's down to deadfox to send out his next Pokemon and usher us off to the finale!

x_x I had no idea this was ready to be reffed. My fault for not checking my matches every day. Will do my damnedest to get this reffed today, worst case it'll be done tomorrow barring catastrophe. I am so so sorry about this x_x
