Yeah the birds are coming back, with newly added avians. The mighty Enguarde defeated the birds, and a mission was carried out to recruit new potentials. After multiple testing, almost every single good bird was tested, including Zapdos, Articuno, Mandibuzz, Skarmory and even bird wannabes Salamence, Flygon and Latios.
Latias never changed her mind, she still thinks Dragon > Bird, and as such was
never eventually tested. Latios on the other hand, became a new general of birds. He slayed many Kyogre and Groudon along the way. For that, he gained the trust of Ho-Oh. Some other things which had been tried are Sunny Day Ho-Oh, Specially Defensive resttalk Lugia, Togekiss and even CB Flygon. Weather sweepers are hard to deal with because they can cheat and outrun the birds, Sunny Day was pretty game changing and can swing the battle to your side. In the sun, even Kyogre hates Ho-Oh, think little dogs called Ninetales trying to beat Froggy in OU.
With some help from the new birds, they managed to launch a successful counter-attack against Enguarde's powerful land and Dragon armies. He even bribed some Honchkrow to join his team, and since mr.Krow is a traitor, well you will know what happened :)

In the end, Enguarde and the birds tied...with no real winner. As for the final victory, only time will tell.

Thanks for that solid rate, and replays! There could finally be a new king of birds in October when the evil Eagle rise from Hell.
Just realized in a few of the those replays, I was actually using Pressure Ho-Oh, no wonder I died to SR when I switched out at 36% lol. If I was using Regenerator the match would have been closer.
