Hydreigon: Dark Pulse (Alakazam) - Crunch (Alakazam) - U-turn (Alakazam)
If Alakazam uses an evasive move, change your respective action to Dragon Pulse (Dragonite). Do not play this substitution consecutively.
If Alakazam uses Ally Switch, change the target of your moves to Dragonite (thus causing Alakazam to become the target after using Ally Switch).
If Alakazam dies, change all your remaining actions to Dragon Pulse (Dragonite)

Kitsunoh: Shadowstrike (Alakazam) - Shadow Claw (Alakazam) - Meteor Mash (Alakazam)
If Alakazam uses Taunt on you, change your respective action to Magic Coat
If Alakazam uses Bide on you, Protect yourself on the unleashing action.
If Alakazam dies, change all your remaining actions to Ice Punch (Dragonite)

Camille and Pumyra have left you a hefty lead, you two! I'm counting on you; take the speed and drive this home!

Oros - Protect (Spoons) | Brick Break (Tiamat) | Dragon Pulse (Tiamat)

Spoons - Focus Punch (Tiamat) | Taunt (Mask) | Dig (Mask)

Yes, I am indeed taking the Magic Coat to the face.

It's Hammer Time!
Default Round 6: The Wind Beneath My Tails(?)

Rules:
-4v4 Doubles
-ASB Arena
-All Abilities
-No Items
-5 recovers/5 chills
-2 Substitutions
-2 Day DQ for battlers
-2/3 Day DQ for refs

-Self-KO clause; in the event of a double KO to end the match, the Pokemon that KOed itself through whatever means (self-KOing move, energy exhaustion, etc) loses.

zarator's Plasminions: Tiamat and Mask

LouisCyphre's Harbinger-ers: Oros and Spoons


Round 6 Begin!

Immediately LouisCyphre releases Oros and Spoons to the field; this match is finally drawing to a close! Spoons wastes no time gathering his focus, while Oros takes advantage of the Tailwind to swiftly protect his teammate. The Tailwind proves essential here, as without it the deadly ShadowStrike and Dark Pulse aimed at Spoons would have nearly halved his health! He keeps his composure, however, resulting in a massive punch that rips through Tiamat.

Mask opens up the second action by shrouding himself in a coat of magic, which bounces Spoons's Taunt right back at him! What a strange play on LouisCyphre's part- I'm guessing he was trying to minimize damage taken? Whatever. Oros deals some damage to Tiamat now, breaking a brick against her forehead, while Tiamat responds by taking a bite out of crime Spoons.

Spoons starts scooping up great chunks of earth with his utensils, and before long he is safely underground. Oros promptly nukes Tiamat with a blast of draconic energy, sending her back to her Poke Ball unconscious. Mask attempts a Meteor M*A*S*H, which misses Spoons by a mile, prompting Spoons to emerge from his hidey-hole and smack Mask with a spoon.

zarator is in an even tighter spot now. Will the next round be the last?

End Round 6

Oros! Spoons! This is it! Now or never, just like we trained for!

Oros - Flamethrower (Mask) | Heat Wave (Mask) | Fire Punch (Mask)
If it is raining, Thunder that action unless Mask is paralyzed, in which case Dive.
If Mask uses Yawn on you, Dive that action.

Spoons - Zap Cannon (Mask) | Shadow Ball (Mask) | Zap Cannon (Mask)
If Mask uses a damaging Ghost-type attack on you, Counter it. He won't be too happy afterwards if he tries to abuse this with Shadow Ball!
If Mask uses Yawn on you, Dig that action.

I've never been more happy of being immune to Paralysis AND to Fighting-type attacks, but I'm afraid I have lost this anyway

Shadowstrike (Alakazam) - Shadow Claw (Alakazam) - Shadowstrike (Alakazam)

If Alakazam dies, change all your remaining actions to Ice Punch (Dragonite)

Default Round 7: Don't Lean on the Counter

Rules:
-4v4 Doubles
-ASB Arena
-All Abilities
-No Items
-5 recovers/5 chills
-2 Substitutions
-2 Day DQ for battlers
-2/3 Day DQ for refs

-Self-KO clause; in the event of a double KO to end the match, the Pokemon that KOed itself through whatever means (self-KOing move, energy exhaustion, etc) loses.

zarator's Plasminion: Mask

LouisCyphre's Harbinger-ers: Oros and Spoons


Round 7 Begin!

Oros whips out a flamethrower (how Tailwind made him do that faster I don't understand) and points it straight at Mask. Before the Kitsunoh has time to react, Oros pulls the trigger, scorching Mask with the heat. As a testament to Oros's sniper training, the attack even scores a critical hit, leaving Mask badly crippled. Of course, "crippled" is a relative term, as Mask still has enough vitality to slash from the shadows at Spoons. Spoons attempts to Counter the attack, leading to a massive facepalm from LouisCyphre as Spoons run up and smashes...a Ghost-type! Spoons, with his enormous IQ, turns back and glares at his trainer, who goes and hides in a corner.

Oros tries to ignore this and blasts Mask with more heat, putting zarator in a tight(er) spot. Mask goes for a Shadow Claw on Spoons, which prompts another Counter. Spoons still looks mad. REALLY mad. And that's when the Tailwind peters out, leaving Oros really slow again.

Mask, now not the slowest Pokemon on the field, uses another ShadowStrike on Spoons, leaving the Alakazam at a dangerously low level of health. Oros then lights his fist on fire and punches Mask with it, putting Mask's health at about the same level as Spoons's. And then Spoons Counters again.

This match is almost over! Can zarator pull off an incredible come-from-behind victory?

End Round 7

zarator, you're first!

EDIT: Also, since this is my 2000th post, I would like to thank a few people. And by "a few people" I mean pretty much everyone I've ever interacted with on Smogon that isn't a troll. Special thanks go out to Son_of_Shadoo, who is awesome and also on my tournament team (MAH BOI). Yeah, that's about it.

It was fun while it lasted

Shadow Sneak (Alakazam) - Ice Punch (Dragonite) - Ice Punch (Dragonite)

If Alakazam uses a protective or an evasive move successfully, change your respective action to Ice Punch (Dragonite) and push your actions down

Countering a ghost is probably the best lure I've ever employed. Oros is still at full HP, even!

Oros - Flamethrower (Mask) | Aqua Jet (Mask) | Aqua Jet (Mask)

Spoons - Confusion (Mask) | chill | chill

Come here, all of you! You've performed far better than I could ask for, and I am very grateful.

Default Round 8: Setting Priorities Straight

Rules:
-4v4 Doubles
-ASB Arena
-All Abilities
-No Items
-5 recovers/5 chills
-2 Substitutions
-2 Day DQ for battlers
-2/3 Day DQ for refs

-Self-KO clause; in the event of a double KO to end the match, the Pokemon that KOed itself through whatever means (self-KOing move, energy exhaustion, etc) loses.

zarator's Plasminion: Mask

LouisCyphre's Harbinger-ers: Oros and Spoons


Round 8 Begin!

With a swift dart through the shadows, Mask easily finishes off the heavily-weakened Spoons, putting the match at 1-1! Oros, not willing to give up, even with an advantage as large as his belly, blasts Mask with his trusty flamethrower, putting Mask in critical condition.

Fortunately, he isn't to remain in this state for long. With a great burst of water, Oros charges Mask, putting the Kitsunoh out of its misery. Words appear in big flashing lights on the scoreboard: LouisCyphre wins! The two competitors shake hands, glad that the battle was so intense. This puts The Harbingers up 1-0 in the tournament; how will the other matches pan out?

End Round 8

Great game, guys! I'm glad that I had the opportunity to ref this clash of the titans. Also, the Round 7 reffing happens to be my 2000th post, so I'll edit some shout-outs into it. I would say something about seeing each of you in the future, but you're both reffing something of mine, so...:P

I wonder, would this match have gone differently had Zarator posted as Ghetsis?

At any rate, I'd definitely like to see a rematch at some point. One where we don't Endure while burned and Counter ghosts.
