It is raining. Water pours down at a steady rate, dampening everything it touches. The whole field is wet. Yet the rain is not oppressive. It is natural. It has been this way for time immemorial.

Before humans there were other apes. Before the apes there were the original mammals. Before them there were reptiles. Before them there were animals somewhere between the two. Before them there were amphibians. Before them there were fish. Before fish there were only invertebrates, creatures without proper skeletons.

They lingered, of course. Their greatest age may have come and gone leaving the seas without trilobites and orthicones and the continents without arthropleura and the largest of dragonflies. But the insects never left. They watched as life marched on around them but seldom saw a need to change themselves. They were the first lifeforms. They were perfect. Why should they change?

Even as ecology produced a cancerous organism that threatened to collapse the whole of the global environment, the insects watched passively. They say that after a nuclear war there would still be the cockroaches. In the buildings long since abandoned by man the insects have returned.

It is raining. Water pours down at a steady rate, dampening everything it touches. The whole field is wet. Yet the rain is not oppressive. It is natural. It has been this way for time immemorial.

The rain is peaceful, the peace that comes from knowing that your survival, if not your victory, is assured. It is destructive. It tears down all pretenses of grandeur. The insects watched the dinosaurs fall and decay until only a handful of bones remained. Boast to them of your importance and longevity. They'll wait. In a million years they will obliterate your buildings and the last of your bodies. You mean nothing to time and time means nothing to the bugs.

Humans always assume that the insects feel small and insignificant. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

-Peaceful Downpour is the default weather condition and can only be changed for four rounds with a weather rock. It has the same effects as rain in activating abilities and changing the base power of types, but all moves are executed as if the weather is clear. Burn's attack drop does not apply while Peaceful Downpour is up
-4x weaknesses use a 2x damage multiplier instead of 2.25x.
-Pokemon with Water STAB will not receive a bonus to the power of water-moves during Peaceful Downpour. Rain can be activated without a weather stone and has the normal duration. It has all of the effects of Peaceful Downpour, except that water-types receive an attack bonus on water moves and moves are executed as if the weather is rainy.
-Bug-types have the effects of Mold Breaker.
-Gym Leader may specify number of mega-evolutions.
-Gym Leader always sends out his Pokemon first and orders second on the first round.
This rain, fortunately, dries within seconds of wetting your clothes, but it still meant I had to borrow a PDA from an old friend instead of the usual pen-and-notebook I used. As both trainers walked in, I sat on one of the benches and continue to familiarise myself with the controls.

Volkraken [Cybil] (Female)

"In the name of the Holy Order!"
Desperation Theme: No More Heroes 2 - Psycho Soldier
Once led astray by the fight
Cybil found her way in the light
Her cause is noble and her path is just
Now she only smites those she must.

A timid feud, a harsh defeat
Put the tension under her metaphorical feet
But a change struck, evolution was near
And so the enemies ran away with fear.

Flareon [Jet] "The Justiceer" (Male) *

"None shall stand in the way of justice."
Desperation Theme: Asaki - Teardrops (Long Ver.)
Jet was part of a group of Pokémon that eventually died to a gang of Bisharp and Pawniard. Rescued by Michael, he was the first partner that he ever saw as a true friend. As a Flareon, he favours divine justice and calculation over brute force.
Lately, Jet has found one of his "supposed dead" friends, Enryu - maybe they were not killed after all?
Jet's nickname comes from learning every move he could possibly learn as a Flareon.

<Cyclohm> [Ron] (Male)
"What if clouds just other Ron saying hi?"
Desperation Theme: Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom - Phoenix Wright's Theme
Team Dragoon's gift Pokémon for Michael. Ron is oddly young, and his innocence reflects itself in a cute way towards others. Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't prone to attacking.
As a Cyclohm, Ron has reached the peak of power and cuteness. Few dislike the dragon's behaviour... and the ones that do are too scared to tell him.

Evolution seems to have brought a more morbid humor to Emily - she enjoys the pain of others, and yet her laugh and silliness lead to believe she's not dangerous.

Despite being only one Mega-Evolution Pokemon, Canis' default Fire-based team will likely force Red to discard the use of Mega-Scizor. Also Volkraken seems more used to the rain compared to Red's Volcarona - who oddly isn't participating in battle. The coin flip phase is skipped - I already got the memo from the Gym Leader.

"Kit!"

Kitsunoh @ Rare Candy
Knock Off > Meteor Mash > Iron Head
IF successful P/E when you would attack THEN Imprison (Protect, Earthquake, Dig) the first time only and push back
IF Stealth Rock THEN Magic Coat the first time and Taunt the second, pushing back every time
IF you are Burned when you would attack AND your opponent is NOT Burned AND your opponent is NOT behind a Substitute THEN Psycho Shift and change remaining actions to Shadow Claw > Shadow Strike > Shadow Claw

Damage race is always king.

Emily-Kitsunoh started out as any mon who knows Knock Off would - use it to disarm her opponent of his Claw Fossil and thus set up an offensive advantage. But the rain continued to soak into Diego-Armaldo's shell, lubricating the heavy joints, while doing nothing to reduce the force behind his appendages. Diego struck the ground, throwing Emily back. The Kitsunoh barely seemed fazed in the slightest, jumping back up - only to find her opponent gone!

And then all it looked like is some kind of scene from a ninja movie. Diego repeatedly Dug underground, burst up from a direction Emily didn't expect, and went back down, while Emily only flailed around trying to hit the Armaldo, failing to score. Now dead loss in terms of speed, bulk, and worn from battle, Emily will have to resort to more trick-or-treats to avoid Diego's real onslaught.

"Tch. Didn't expect that. But I'm pretty sure Emily can handle a 11 move Wormadam - or an Aurumoth. Right?"
"Kit!"
"Right. Sorry buddy, counterswitch declined."

Counterswitch declined - do your worst!

IF Phantom Force, use Protect and push actions back on the first use

"Kit!"

Rhea comes out of her trainer's Pokeball anticipating a heavy assault, so she immediately erects a Protective barrier- only to be blindsided by Emily tapping into the Phantom Force. Which is kinda like Speed Force, except much darker. It took a while, but Rhea was finally convinced that offense is the way to go, and blew up the Earth around Emily, exaggerating the Kitsunoh's wounds. Rhea moves in for the coup de grace but- Struggled to remember what was her trainer's order. Looks like Emily just managed to Imprison the move in time. While Canis might lose a mon here, it took Red revealing two of his team to happen, so the long term plays are not obvious yet..

Canis tries switching
Red objects the idea
I reff
 
"Alright, let's see exactly how you handle a dragon! Emily, come back! Ron, go! Take the Expert Belt!"
"Ohm!"
Switching out Kitsunoh for Cyclohm @ Expert Belt!
Counterswitch?
 
Sorry for lateness. Inexcusable. Especially considering the easy orders I actually had here.

"No mercy, Ron!"
Hydro Pump > Ice Beam > Hydro Pump
IF Wormadam is under the effects of successful P/E when you would attack it THEN Substitute (15) the first time, Electric Terrain the second and Chill the third, pushing back every time
IF Wormadam uses a damaging Ground-type move AND you are NOT under the effects of Magnet Rise AND you are NOT behind a Substitute THEN Magnet Rise and push back
IF Wormadam uses Rock Blast AND in a combo THEN Protect and push back

Wormadam should have 1 extra HP due to Overcoat's effect against Kitsunoh's Knock Off A3 last round, sorry. Fixed here. EDIT: Fixed Wormadam-S' combo.

Ron-Cyclohm finds himself loving the rain and the rainforest-level humidity, using it to blast a Hydro Pump around himself, narrowly missing Rhea-Wormadam. Canis had to get his Pokemon to calm down, and ordered a Magnet Rise to evade Rhea's attack - but the Power of the underground explosion left Ron reeling a little. Firing off an Ice Beam, the dragon kept the bug at bay, although Rhea does not seem that perturbed, even against an incoming super-effective attack....

Action 1:
Cyclohm used Hydro Pump!
RNG Roll (HIT) [<=9000 HIT]: 9664/10000 (NO)

RNG Roll (CRIT) [<=625 CRIT]: 2428/10000 (NO)
(3*3)+(4.5-7.5) = 6 damage (Cyclohm)
-7 energy

Action 2:
Cyclohm used Ice Beam!
RNG Roll (CRIT) [<=625 CRIT]: 8516/10000 (NO)
RNG Roll (EFFECT) [<=1000 EFFECT]: 8705/10000 (NO)
[9+2-2-1+(7.5-4.5)]*1.5 = 16.5 damage (Wormadam-S)

Wormadam-S used Earth's Hidden Power!

RNG Roll (CRIT) [<=625 CRIT]: 3407/10000 (NO)
RNG Roll (EFFECT) [<=1000 EFFECT]: 6964/10000 (NO)
[(9+6)+3+(4.5-4.5)]/1.5 = 12 damage (Cyclohm)
-16.5 energy

Action 3:

Earth Power's CT is Elemental while Hidden Power's CT is Set. The move should be Water typed which means the round ends up a bit differently (Cyclohm doesn't use Magnet Rise, and he only takes 8 damage from the combo).
 
Earthquake~Stealth Rock~Earthquake
IF Cyclohm is under the effects of Magnet Rise when you would use Earthquake, use Smack Down and push actions back
IF damaging-water type move not in a combination AND you are faster AND Cyclohm is not under the effects of Magnet Rise, use Dig and push actions back
IF damaging water-type move in a combination, use Substitute (15) and push actions back
