[LLAMA Pool E] Birkal vs. Engineer Pikachu


"Hello everybody, and welcome to the second round of the Legends, Lore, and More Action Tournament. Due to Maxim's departure, Xavier will be handling the reffing for this match. For those still wondering about those last few rounds of the previous match, we're still trying to fix the audio files for that, sorry about that. Sit tight and we'll have them up. We're projecting them to come out around the time the first round of this match is reffed if not sooner. Now then, let's get on with this match, Xavier?"


"Got it! Hello everyone, and welcome to this, the second round of the Legends, Lore, and More Action Tournament! Today we've got quite an explosive match between two amazing veterans of ASB. Stay tuned and you won't regret it. First though, we've got the rules. Spiky, bring in the chalkboard."


("On it.")

Rules said:
BATTLE RULES
3v3 Singles
Enforced 2 Day DQ Time for players, 3 for referees.
Each player has one DQ warning a match. Go over once, you will use your warning. Go over twice, you will be DQed. This will be at the discretion of the player or one of the hosts if the player takes too long. Referees going over DQ will probably be sacked and replaced.
Infinite Recoveries/Chills per Pokémon.
Three Substitutions per player excluding KO Substitutions.
One Mega Evolution
Switch = OK
Abilities = ALL
Items = ON; you do not have to have the item in possession but the item must not be banned, similar to SICK (Banned Items: Soul Dew, Dark Stone, Light Stone, Diancite, Prison Bottle).
Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
If there are matches still going on come Thursday the 26th of March at Midnight (GMT +00:00), then the DQ Times of those matches will shorten to 1 Day Player, 1 Day Referee.
"Without further ado, let's meet our combatants today!"

"In the fiery red corner, we have Birkal, the illustrious Fighting Gym leader of ASB! Well, it's either him or one of his representatives from Nowhere in Particular, which doesn't make sense because how can you come from someplace that is nowhere. It's really a conundrum when you thi---"


"Focus Mate."

"Oh right. Anyways, Birkal's an amazing battler with a lot of experience and is sure to put up quite a fight today. Pay special attention to...actually I don't think any of his Pokemon have a particular advantage against Engineer's team."


"Well, if you ask me, I'd say Bryant the Heracross can do quite a number to Engi's team. Mega evolve that sucker and it doesn't really matter how bulky Steelix is, Low Kick will do a crap ton of damage. Of course, if he does mega evolve that he can't mega evolve Mawile so...he's got an uphill battle but if he plays smart he can certainly pull this one out."

"And in the blue corner, we have the ever calculating Engineer Pikachu. He's the Poison gym leader of ASB, and a fantastic player besides. Somewhat ironically, his team for this tournament consists mostly of Steel types. The one to look out for here is definitely Jirachi the unnamed. None of Birkal's Pokemon have Inner Focus, meaning that with a bit of luck on Engi's side flinch hax can definitely come into play here. Even without that it's faster than anything Birkal has."

With that done, let's go with a good old coin toss with my RNG device. Whichever side it lands on will determine who sends out first.

[1=Heads, Birkal l 2=Tails, Engineer]=1=Birkal

Turn order:
Birkal sends out Pokemon with an item
Engineer Pikachu sends out Pokemon with an item, then orders
Birkal orders

Refs cannot issue DQ Warnings Maxim; overturned unless Birkal wants to go ahead with it.

Only the players and the hosts can issue warnings or call DQ.

Aurumoth gets put to work here right away, using Skill Swap to give Birkal a very early lead. Of course, a lucky crit a3 doesn't hurt that either. Can Birkal maintain this momentum next round, or will Engineer Pikachu manage to catch back up?
