GK acts first, then Acklow. Swap to Acklow -> GK after that, then rinse and repeat.

[little gk]

ok, we'll use tri attack, then psybeam, then another tri attack. If it uses sand attack, use magic coat

[Acklow]

Fine, if he's using Pory, then I guess I'll have to bring out the big guns.

Combo Quick Attack and Dig! That way he misses with Tri-Attack and Psybeam. Then re-appear after he uses the last Tri-Attack.

Both Pokemon, individually selected by their trainers, are rearing and ready to face off. Brian fires off a Tri-Attack at Firefly, but Firefly anticipates the attack and scurries to dig underground. Unfortunately, part of the attack hits her wagging butt as he sinks into the ground. Even with a Quick Attack, Trapinch is still something of a slowpoke! Porygon searches mentally for the whereabouts of Firefly and finds him enough to shock him partially with a Psybeam. Firefly feels the attack but waits underground a bit longer to hear Brian fire off a Tri-Attack unpatiently at the ground. Firefly strikes with a Dig attack!

[Acklow]

Alright, we have little that we can do against such a foe. Start by Sand-Tombing him. We want him to be stuck in a fray of damage in which he has little control over. Follow it through with an Earth Power into it's pseudo-feet. Lastly, I want you to dodge his final move by hitting him with a Quick Attack.

So:
1)Sand Tomb (try to hold him inside it, and don't let him out)
2)Earth Power
3)Quick Attack (and try to dodge)

[little gk]

well all we can really do is tri attack to get some damage off before the sand tomb. As it uses sand tomb, use Agility to speed up the sand tomb and finish up by using tri attack to push it towards the incoming trapinch

Brian fires off yet another Tri-Attack in Fireflies direction, this time hitting him full-on. The Trapinch has something in store though: He forces the ground around Brian into a sort of quicksand pit, getting him stuck in the pit a bit! Brian tries to Agility out and succeeds in partially dislodging himself, while Firefly throws an Earth Power towards Porygon. This kicks up the resulting ground spray and such enough for Brian to successfully get out of the tomb. Trapinch sees Brian pop out and evasively Quick Attacks out of the way of the incoming Tri-Attack which misses just off of Trapinch. The flying dust resulted in a hard aiming game...

The dust has settled and the destination has returned to normal.

oh dear

OK SPEED MODE, TRI ATTACK, THEN TACKLE. FINISH WITH TRI ATTACK

i may need to recover soon, if that doesn't seem like cheating. I don't remember the clauses

[Acklow]

Alright, let's do this again, trap him with Sand Tomb. That way he will be immobile to attack Firefly with Tackle. Follow up with the combo Quick Attack and Dig to escape the final Tri Attack.

So:
1)Sand Tomb
2)Combo Quick Attack + Dig, dodging Tri Attack

Trapinch creates another sand vortex around Porygon, but not before he smashes Firefly with another Tri-Attack, yup yup. See, though, Porygon is 8x faster than Trapinch could ever hope to be, so he breaks out of the smallish Vorex with a Tackle as Trapinch somewhat loses his focus as he quick attacks back down into the ground. As he goes into the ground he does end up dodging a misplaced Tri-Attack though. Trapinch is still underground at the end of the round.

Alright, Firefly time to finish this.

Resurface from Dig. Follow through with an Earth Power. Hit it up with a final Sand Tomb.

1)Dig
2)Earth Power
3)Sand Tomb (trap him)

[little gk]

ok, we're using download by the way.

Go ahead and hit Firefly with Tackle in retaliation from the dig, yes you need to wait. After that, we'll have to try and hit with Tri Attack as the earth power comes. Finish up with another Tackle, we should be able to outspeed the sand tomb

After some playful dodging, both Pokemon get ready for the long haul in combat. Porygon starts off with a newfound Attack power boost and Tackles Trapinch fiercely after it pops out of the ground to hit Brian. Porygon sends another Tri-Attack flying towards Firefly and hits it hard backwards. Trapinch responds by moving earth a bit to smash into Porygon. Brian doesn't take this sitting and flies towards Trapinch in another vicious Tackle, almost knocking Trapinch off the edge of the stage. Trapinch is able to cough up a bit more energy though to trap Brian in a vortex.

Things are looking bleak for this Firefly.
