The Gym Leader sends his final pokemon Scadi the Syclant annd bring home victory. I must say, considering the last pokemon Complications has that was an odd choice...especially considering the berry he equipped (Babiri). But the Gym Leader probably has some trick up his sleeve.
Scadi begins this round quickly by using Bug Bite to damage Optimus while is cools down. And then proceeds to end this round quickly with Brick Break smashing the Bisharp before it could even act due to an illegal substitution.
And now both trainers are stuck to their last pokemon. Let's see how this pans out.

Syclant: Bug Bite: 9+3= 12 damage for 4 energy
Crit: doesn't matter
Bisharp: cools down
Syclant: Brick Break: 8*2.25 = 18 damage for 6 energy
Crit: doesn't matter
NOTE: That Sub is illegal due to the "not counter" part. You can't just say "damaging fight type" and then exclude all the fighting moves you don't want to be included. When you use a class, you have to consider all the moves of said class.
Bisharp Fainted!

"Well, it looks like I only have one Pokemon left, and an NFE at that."
Let's go Lir @ Rindo (Grass) Berry
"Don't worry, I can take him."
"...Lir? Your glowing?
"Wah?"
Congratulations! Your Frillish is evolving!
"...Well that's a nice bonus."
"I fell... strong."
(For some reason it won't let me get rid of the extra hide tag...)

Lyr the Frillish is sent out with the mission of bringing home the bacon. After being hurt by Stealth Rock, Lyr Evolves to a Jellicent and becomes a much bigger problem for Scadi.
And Lyr begins the round by using Magic Coat to reflect status attacks, which worked like a charm, as Syclant intended to use Toxic, which bounced back at Scadi, badly poisoning it.
On the second turn, Scadi uses Focus Energy to get pumped up, while Lyr attacks with Hydro Pump. Finally, Lyr attacks with Scald and Scadi counters with Solarbeam.
AND THE PLOT THICKEEEEENS.

Spoilers much?
Anyway, let us begin!
Scadi the Syclant begins this last round by using Bug Bite to eat Lyr's Rindo Berry, which was the most crucial move of this match, probably. Also, it is still pumped, so all attacks from Syclant = critical hit this round, k?. Also no cursed body
Lyr counterattacks with a blast of pressurized water, aka Hydro Pump.
On the second round Syclant starts collecting Solar Energy while Lyr attacks with Scalding water. Some time later, Scadi attacks with a burst of solar energy, a Solar Beam for great damage! also.

DUN DUN DUUUUUN
Cursed Body did NOT activate!
Finally, Lyr attacks again with Hydro Pump, but to no avail, and finally Scadi ends this match with a combination of Hyper Beam + Solar Beam which KOes Lyr! Jellicent fainted!
Complications is out of useable pokemon!
REDIAMOND WINS THIS VERY CLOSE MATCH!

Eh, I seem to forget about abilities (Technician); I thought I would survive by three HP or so... regardless, good game Rediamond, I honestly got farther than I thought. Next time though, be ready, because my Pokemon will have a lot more moves :P
Once again, GG, and thanks for the battle, and thanks for reffing Frosty.
