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.
(confirmed by Dogfish44) The rule has always been that the same person can't initiate the switch phase twice in a row; if I declined the counterswitch last round there's no reason I shouldn't be able to initiate a switch this round. I'll look into getting this changed in the handbook.
Hidden Power – Thunderbolt – Hidden Power
IF (Endure) THEN (Use Will-O-Wisp – Rock Smash – Brick Break from that point on)
IF (Damaging Priority Attack in combination) THEN (Use Protect and push actions back)

"Luke gets the head start by using Endure, a valuable move to have in a pinch. Engineer foresaw this possibility and gave Youma a second set of orders to carry out, starting with Will-O-Wisp.
"Mulan understood that this attack was not always very accurate, so he subbed accordingly. But he didn't seem to know that Youma had an Accuracy-boosting Nature that made Will-O-Wisp always hit..."
"WHAT THE HECK IS ANUBIS DOING? NO. REALLY. WHAT'S GOING ON? I CAN'T MAKE OUT WHERE HE IS AFTER HE USED EVASIVE AGILITY. THE DEAD GUY DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW EITHER, SINCE HIS ROCK SMASH WAS ABLE TO HIT NOTHING AT ALL!"
"IT SEEMS MULAN WANTS LUKE TO TRY AND STALL OUT YOUMA AS MUCH AS HE CAN, WITH SOME DEGREE OF SUCCESS. BUT BEFORE LUKE CAN PERFORM HIS LAST ACTION ORDERED, YOUMA COMES IN AND HITS LUKE WITH A MILDLY POWERFUL BRICK BREAK. LUKE ENDURES THE HIT AND MANAGES TO USE BONEMERANG AS HIS FINAL ATTACK BEFORE SUCCUMBING TO HIS BURN."
"This Round wasn't as eventful as some others, but Mulan is now without half of his team, and the other half doesn't have much HP left. Engineer definitely has the upper hand now if he didn't before."

As long as there are no other factors hidden from my understanding, I believe that should all be right. Tell me if you see something wrong!
THE ORDER OF THINGS:
Initiate a Switch Phase? (Engineer Pikachu cannot counterswitch.) Mulan15262 sends out a Pokémon + equips an Item (if not already sent out) + orders 3 Moves Engineer Pikachu orders 3 Moves
I ref
Endure means that Brick Break does not KO, only dropping Lucario down to 1 health. That allows Lucario to use Bonemerang before fainting to burn damage. Also, I do not think that Gengar has access the ability Liquid Ooze.
Oops, missed that part. Anyways, sending out Aegislash @ Dusk Stone.
Shadow Claw - Shadow Ball - Shadow Claw
If Gengar uses a p/e move, use Swords Dance, push back, and replace all following instances of Shadow Ball with Shadow Sneak.
If Gengar has Double Team clones when Aegislash would attack, use Rock Slide and push back.
the NDA isn't particularly clear about whether Stance Change occurs before or after attacking – in-game it occurs before, so if it's different let me know please
Stance Change occurs before the attack is done (I've used Aegislash several times, and every time I changed forms, it used the new form's stats for the move that changed it).

"Well, Mulan knows that he has a very powerful Pokémon in Shieldschízo̱, but unfortunately he forgets that Youma is a first generation Pokémon and knows a load of moves he wouldn't otherwise - namely Bide. Nevertheless, Shieldschízo̱ switches to her alter ego Ferrum Forver and hacks away with a mighty Shadow Claw, dealing huge damage."
"WHILE YOUMA CONTINUES TO STORE ENERGY ONE LAST TIME, FERRUM FIRES OFF A SHADOW BALL AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT SPOT TO LAND A CRITICAL HIT... ONLY THIS IS THE WORST TIME TO LAND A CRITICAL HIT, BECAUSE FERRUM HAS NOW DEALT MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS OF HER OWN MAXIMUM HP TO YOUMA..."
"WOAH, I DID NOT EXPECT THAT! THE GHOST FIRES OFF THE MIGHTIEST OF THE MIGHTIEST BIDES, COMPLETELY WIPING OUT THE SWORD IN A SINGLE BLOW! BUMMER FOR THE CHALLENGER."
"And this is where I make a summary of the Round: DON'T SUB FOR P/E IN SINGLES YOU MORONS! That is all."

"THAT WAS QUITE A SUMMARY. DO YOU FEEL ANY BETTER?"
"... Yeah."
As long as there are no other factors hidden from my understanding, I believe that should all be right. Tell me if you see something wrong!
THE ORDER OF THINGS:
Initiate a Switch Phase?
Mulan15262's Empoleon is automatically sent out Engineer Pikachu orders 3 Moves Mulan15262 orders 3 Moves AND DOES NOT SUB FOR P/E
I ref
Bide actually has a 1.75x multiplier, so it costs me 61 instead of 53 EN.
not that it matters, though
Endure – Focus Blast – Focus Blast
IF (Substitute on A1) THEN (Use Focus Blast – Thunderbolt – Focus Blast)
[ONCE] IF (Dig [Suspend] is used A1 or A2) THEN (Use chill on the next action)
You predicted wrong. Even though it does nothing here, and it is illegal, I subbed for p/e. Although, I would have subbed for Bide instead of p/e move this past round if I had seen Bide in its movepool.
Bide was previously able to hit Ghost-types – it also does so in-game, as far as I know – and I am unable to find any post in the forum regarding the reasoning behind the change.
Since Engineer's orders were made without the knowledge of a change that was not announced in the XY Omnibus thread nor any succeeding thread, I am giving the gym leader a reorder for his R6 orders. If anyone gets their spiderman underoos in a twist over this, talk to Chinchou111.
So, we are basically starting over from after when I gave orders for round 6, even though Engineer Pickachu did look in the NDA when he made his orders?
