hello this is TEA_DEMON reporting to you live from vancouver where the has been riot activity for some time now. interestingly though, one pair of people aren't rioting; in fact they've prepared a pokemon battle. yes, a pokemon battle, and they've even got rules. i managed to get myself a copy of these rules, and here they are.

of course i'm sure their activities won't go unnoticed, and there's already a curious crowd gathered around; distracted for now, it seems. i have intelligence that it'll be user steampowered sending out his/her first pokemon and selecting its ability, then user c$fp will do the same but also give orders, then it'll swing back to steampowered to give orders. this could be interesting, so let's see what happens.
so we have user steampowered versus user c$fp, the pair of brave souls they are amidst this outrage. i've even managed to get a copy of their teams for this match, so let's have a look at those two.
