This looks to be one hell of a bloodfeast! Let's see how!
TIK switches in a vibrant new threat - Cuban Gligar the Gligar! Grumpus oinks in competition... that name is so lame!
Cuban Gligar stays at his position despite the insult and dances a beautiful Swords Dance to boost his spirits for the incoming assaults. Grumpus finds this to be the perfect opportunity to swing by and fire off a confusing Confuse Ray(Severe) upon the international scorpion. It strikes and Cuban Gligar turns out more puzzled than curious.
With his newfound strength, Cuban Gligar decides to create a devastating Earthquake on the meadow, despite his state of confusion. Grumpus rumbles and tramples as a result of the huge earthquake, and is eventually crushed by the newly formed grass-less earthen shapes and "mini-hills". However, Grumpus doesn't give up the fight, springs upward into the air in a somersault, and starts a psionic Extrasensory toward Cuban Gligar's back. It lands right on his back when Grumpus lands, causing some dangerous internal damage. Cuban Gligar still has plenty of fight in him to go though!
Cuban Gligar somehow locks on target with his awesome, but blurry eyes and rushes at Grumpus, wings ready, and attacks the squiggle piggy. The attack strikes and Grumpus is knocked on his back onto the side of a "mini-hill". Grumpus prepares once again a Extrasensory assault as Gligar rushes backward from the "mini-hill" to prepare his next plan. It strikes and bashes Gligar onto the ground, but he gets up in anger, eagerly awaiting his trainer's next orders in how to destroy this piggy.

Boosts:
Other:
Swords Dance: The pokemon performs a graceful, spinning dance of sorts, increasing their fighting prowess by boosting Attack two (2) stages. The spinning action can deflect some attacks, though some damage will still be taken.
Earthquake: The Pokemon uses it mighty heft or inherent knowledge of tectonic manipulation to trigger an earthquake. The splitting earth and sudden impact causes major internal and external damage to the target. Trainers are encouraged to exercise caution and common sense when using this attack in certain structures. When Earthquake strikes a Pokemon in the middle of Dig, it's Base Attack Power is 15 instead of 10.
Confuse Ray: The Pokemon shoots out a bright beam of light towards its opponent, causing it to become confused. The light can be spread out, but this will decrease its range.
Extrasensory: The Pokemon attacks with a strange force that seems to have been directed from behind the target’s head, knocking them down. The surprise of the attack may cause the victim to flinch for a turn. Will never flinch a Pokemon with multiple heads or eyes behind its head.
dogfish's turn! I'm also allowing Dogfish to come back in the match despite being over the limit. Additionally, the DQ time will be moved to 5 days, since 1 day is stupid.

With his juicy speed advantage, Cuban takes the swings and gracefully loops up a beautiful Swords Dance even in his state of confusion, making him even stronger than before. Grumpus decides to go on the offensive immediately and gives Cuban a shocking Extrasensory. However, Cuban is still full of energy!
Now with his newfound strength, Cuban attempts to trigger an alarming Earthquake, but upon the attempt, he stumbles over his largely annoying tail and falls in confusion! Taking advantage of the opening, Grumpus goes on the physical and launches a Zen Headbutt to the stomach, launching Cuban northward a bit, but that's still not enough to finish Cuban!
The third round is always the charm, and that's definitely true for Cuban as he swags off his earlier confusion and finally triggers a massive Earthquake that breaks down the hill near Grumpus and crumples him down with broken rocks and dirt. Now that's dirty! Grumpus certainly didn't like that though, as even though he's under the pile of rocks, he blasts a psychic Extrasensory through that connects to Cuban and throws him right at the rough rocks for some serious damage!

Earthquake > 10 + 3 + (3-1 x 1.5) + (2-0 x 1.5) = [19 Damage] [6 Energy]
Hit by Confusion > 4 + (3-4 x 1.5) = 2.5 = [3 Damage]
Swords Dance > [7 Energy]
edit: lol you guys want to cancel the match or something? If not, let's just say that there is no DQ time for this. This match can go either way, really, as long as Grumpus manages some hax with Confuse Ray (otherwise, it's heavily tilted for Cuban).

Having absolutely no interest in doing any other combo, Cuban starts off with the same old Swords Dance. This creates an opening for Grumpus to fire off a Confuse Ray (Intense) that creates a spasm in his brain! Or a brain fart, I dunno.
With his mind going nuts, Cuban jumps into the air and dives upon the ground to summon an incredible Earthquake attack that shatters Grumpus's morale and a good portion of his life. Grumpus attempts to ignore this by peeking into the future and creating a sight full of evil psionic powers that await next round. Oooo creepy!
Cuban really doesn't give a shit though and through his confusion he creates yet another massive Earthquake that pounds on Grumpus's spring and almost causes him to fall into an Earthquake-made crevice! The fear of falling alone caused major headaches for our dear Grumpus, who tries to forget about the fear and goes on the offensive with a Extrasensory attack! This attack smashes Cuban onto the floor like something heavy just fell on him! He gets up though, ready for more and more... and more.

Ready to finish off Grumpus, Cuban pierces through his cloudy judgment of confusion and quickly attacks Grumpus right off his spring! He falls right onto the ground like a poor piggy about to be prepared for dinner. From the ground, though, he conjures one last Extrasensory attack that blasts Cuban onto the same ground. However, Cuban still has plenty of life to spare and repels the attack with ease!
This looks to be Grumpus's last breath of life! Smiling with the feeling of victory, Cuban hastily swooshes right behind the fallen Grumpus as if he were a ninja and finishes him off with a vicious Quick Attack on the back! The attack was so light that Grumpus could only moan on the dusty grounds of Indigo Plateau. Now we know who's the real champion of this land!
And there goes the battle!
... wait, what's going on? Looks like Future Sight went active! Cuban's struggling in surprise and psionic prowess! There's pink fuzzy wuzzys everywhere and he's shivering in pain! Was this Grumpus's final attempt at bringing that the flying scorpion? Was it successful?
... No. It was not. Thank you. See, Cuban's still smiling with his tongue out. "WEENIE WEENIE!!!!" Sorry Grumpy Grumpus!
