"MK has chosen his next Pokemon, and it's his Kitsunoh, Banquo! He's wasting no time either! He's using Taunt on AquaVelva! But she used Protect just in the nick of time, and she can ignore that Taunt with ease! Wait, looks like Banquo is persistent! He's using Taunt again! This time AquaVelva is taunted into a blind rage, and while her trainer wanted her to use Yawn, she's so enraged she can't even consider not attacking! Looks like Banquo is satisfied, but he seems to be preparing something. AquaVelva is giving into her rage, and nailing him with a Scald! With the boost from the rain still falling, that had to hurt! But now Banquo has his attack prepared, and he's going for... Trick Room? But that'll make AquaVelva faster than Banquo! I'm not sure what MK is up to, but nonetheless the dimensions are twisted; slower Pokemon will move first for the next few rounds! Neither Pokemon took damage last round, but with AquaVelva taunted we can expect some fireworks soon!"

[MK Ultra]

Metal Burst-ShadowStrike-Metal Burst

If AquaVelva uses Clear Smog, ShadowStrike and push actions down.

[Deck Knight]

Alright AquaVelva, time to lay on the pain.

Our opponent is trying to be cute, it looks like. Let's try something a little risky, if it hits, we'll have a big payoff.

Begin with a Mud Bomb + Muddy Water combination. Focus your Muddy Water into the bomb and smash Banquo with the attack. The combination will take a while to charge up, and hit well after Metal Burst concludes. After the cool-down, use Mud-Slap to lower Banquo's accuracy, which might even throw off his second Metal Burst.

Mud Bomb + Muddy Water ~ cooldown ~ Mud-Slap.

"And here we go! Looks like MK's plan is in effect, and Banquo is ready to reflect AquaVelva's attack with a Metal Burst! He's biding his time, waiting for an attack... and it's not coming? Looks like AquaVelva is taking her time preparing something! Banquo can't hold any longer, and there goes that energy, harmlessly released! And now AquaVelva's ready! Here comes the attack! There goes a Mud Bomb! And a Muddy Water feeding into it! That combo is going to hurt! And ouch! What an impact! That had to be a critical hit! Oh, and to make matters worse some of that mud got into Banquo's eyes, lowering his accuracy! Not the way Banquo and MK wanted to start the round!"

"AquaVelva is exhausted from that combo though! She's stuck recovering from her combo while Banquo goes for his counter-attack, a powerful ShadowStrike! Oh, there's a shadowy wound on AquaVelva, lowering her defense! That'll help Banquo do some extra damage, but will it be enough after that devastating combo? AquaVelva is looking to make life tougher for Banquo with a Mud-Slap! That'll do some decent damage and lower Banquo's accuracy even more! Oh, but Banquo was charging another Metal Burst, and this time he has some energy to discharge! Can he aim it properly with all that mud in his eyes? Oof, judging from that impact I'd say he could! Finally a good break for MK, but it looks like it may be too little too late for Banquo!"

Deck Knight, you're up!

[Deck Knight]

Excellent work Aquavelva, we've removed many of our foes options, and he even gave us a gift. Lets keep it up.

Begin with Earthquake, then Scald, and finish up with a Chill.

If Banquo uses Trick Room to try and reset the stage on Action 1, Combine Earthquake and Scald to create a tremor wave that gushes forth scalding water on your opponent from beneath them, just like a geyser! I dare say our feline friend won't like it.

Earthquake ~ Scald ~ Chill

If Banquo uses Trick Room on Action 1, use Earthquake + Scald to blast it with a tremor/geyser. After the cooldown, Chill.

U-Turn-Metal Burst-ShadowStrike

If U-Turn misses, replace the next action with U-Turn without pushing actions down the queue, ie if U-Turn misses once U-Turn-U-Turn-ShadowStrike, if twice, U-Turn*3.

"Doesn't look like AquaVelva is letting up the pressure! There she goes with a massive Earthquake attack! That rocked Banquo, and he can barely stand now! But he's not going down without a fight! He still has that mud in his eyes though, will he connect with his attack? Yes! His U-Turn was spot on, and the attack also got the mud out of his eyes! Oh, but it looks like it's not going to matter as AquaVelva is hitting him again, this time with a rain-boosted Scald! And sure enough, that's just too much for Banquo, and down he goes! He's knocked out, and now MK just has one Pokemon left. He's recalled his Kitsunoh, and out comes Vulcan the Emboar! Can MK make a comeback with his strongest Pokemon or will Deck Knight put him away and move one step closer to winning it all? We're going to find out soon!"

"Can MK make a comeback with Vulcan? We're going to find out! The dimensions are still twisted, so AquaVelva is going first, but she's opting to just chill out to regain some energy for the final push! Now Vulcan's using Taunt! It's working too; AquaVelva is enraged now, and she won't be doing anything but attacking anytime soon! Oh, but maybe that wasn't such a great idea as she launches a Rain-boosted Scald at Vulcan! That hurt a lot! But Vulcan is making sure it won't happen again and using Sunny Day! Away goes the rain, and in its place is some searing sunlight! AquaVelva, despite her rage, seems to be waiting for Vulcan to do something before attacking, and sure enough Vulcan is on the offensive, using the extra power from the sunlight to fire off an instant SolarBeam! AquaVelva went flying from that blow! That had to hurt, but she's back up, and glowing! She absorbed the blow with Mirror Coat! And here comes the counter-attack! OUCH! That blow absolutely decimated Vulcan, and suddenly this matchup is looking a lot more even! And with Steelix waiting in the wings for Deck Knight, this doesn't look too good for MK!"

Excellent work AquVelva, now lets wrap things up here with Earthquake. If for some reason Vulcan doesn't take the initiative and KO you, use Mud-Slap, then another Earthquake.

MK has recalled Vulcan, and now the two battlers are shaking hands. It was certainly a great match, but now all Deck needs is a win over Dan and he will be our first ASB Champion!
