"Skill Frog demonstrates its might with a Low Kick. That critted. But didn't matter. Because Kyurem just fell over dead, not having done anything against Greninja."
"With Rainman Legends ordering second with Skill Frog, can he overcome the rest of his deficit and go on to win? Or will waterwarrior recover from the loss of Kyurem? Find out next round."

Dragonite @ Focus Band
Focus Blast -> Heat Wave -> Focus Blast
If damaging Ice-type combo, change that action to Protect
If Greninja is a Ghost-type when you would use Focus Blast, change that action to Hurricane the first time, Dragon Pulse the second, and Hurricane the third, pushing back each time
If Greninja is a Fairy-type when you would attack, change that action to Iron Tail the first time, Hurricane the second, and Iron Tail the third, pushing back each time
With the way my lucks going I wouldn't even be surprised if FBlast misses A1 and I get frozen for 2a A2

"And this is where Dragonite reveals it actually had a Mega Evolution this whole time and that GameFreak didn't release it because they thought having a mon immune to all damage would be too OP!"
"You wish. Anyways, waterwarrior does the best he can ordering first against a Skill Frog, and while shit goes down, well, we'll see what happens."
"Greninja, seeing Dragonite's Focus Band, decides to forgo the all-out attacking solution in favor of playing rather defensively. Its first Gunk Shot even Poisons Dragonite as it ineffectively counterattacks with a Focus Blast. At least it hit."
"Turn two we see more Protean stalling. Greninja uses Rock Slide, which can't flinch Dragonite but can still do some nice damage. Dragonite uses Heat Wave, not doing a whole bunch of damage but getting a lucky Burn on Greninja. Maybe this round won't be so bad for it after all!"
"Action 3 is a repeat of Action 1. Except this time, Dragonite harnesses the power of RNGesus to put a little critical power into that Focus Blast. Which a burned Skill Frog still outdamaged with Gunk Shot. You can't have everything, right?"
"Rainman Legends has gone from a 121 HP deficit and with a bit of luck, turned it into a 14 HP deficit. But now thanks to a bit of luck on waterwarrior's side, he has Skill Frog down to 20 HP and ordering first. The odds are certainly stacked in his favor here, but whether he can capitalize, we'll have to find out next round."

"This match, we saw an epic struggle after a risky start by Rainman Legends. Rainman decided to play with blood, the blood of his own Pokemon, to set up a field advantage at the cost of a huge HP deficit. But waterwarrior saw that he could afford to take a risk by sending a Kyurem into a Mega Heracross, since he had the life to gamble away, unlike Rainman, and he won back the matchup advantage with Dragonite vs. Skill Frog. Some hax was had all around, and eventually the battle came to being an even match, or at least very close, at the beginning of this round."
"Then Dragonite showed its power with a Extreme Speed^2 combo to seal the game."
"If we look at the numbers, it appears that waterwarrior was ahead the whole time, but gave up his lead in these last couple rounds. But he knew what he was doing. Winning with 1 HP and winning with 121 HP are both wins, and it turns out he did indeed keep this lead throughout, converting an HP lead into a matchup lead which would win him the game."
"Ultimately, though, the MVP goes to the Pokemon that set up the HP lead, because without the HP lead waterwarrior probably could not have won. Not to mention it was such a big HP lead. But all Pokemon should be the MVP in your hearts."
Pokemon:
waterwarrior:
Carl's Hat the Lucario: 196 damage dealt, 1 KO (Landorus) (Overall MVP)
Carl the Kyurem: 46 damage dealt, 1 KO (Heracross)

Rainman Legends:
Titan the Landorus: 86 damage dealt
Glenn the Frog the Greninja: 106 damage dealt, 1 KO (Kyurem)
