Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Vuchato, you get a Mienfoo, called Vistroth. Vistroth will introduce you to the hell that is the scramble challenge thread.
Vistroth must be caught on the ground floor of Dragonsprial Tower. It must be caught in a Poke Ball or a Great Ball. As soon as you catch it, give it an item to hold, and then trash items from our bag that are worth P7500 or more.
Vistroth is a very dedicated warrior, but he's not that mean. So, against all Golurks (and pre-evo) and Chandelures (and pre-evos), he must stay in and attack, and leave them in red health. He can attack as many times as necessary to get the opponent in red health, but he cannot KO them. If he does, you must trash items from your bag worth P7500 or more, and then switch his item for something else (and you have to switch it to something he has never held before, so if he's got Choice Band, then it's switched to Choice Scarf, the next time he switched items he can't use either Band or Scarf).
If you should ever face a Pawniard or Bisharp, Vistroth must attack, but cannot leave them in red health. If he does, he has hurt them too much, and must then have items used on him for the next two turns, while he does not attack nor switch (he's free to switch as soon as he's attacked and the opponent is still in green or yellow health, or after those two turns have passed, or he's fainted).
Against any other pokemon, Vistroth must check their colour (as according to the Pokedex). Reds must be left in red health, greens in green health (so you can just switch immediately) and yellows in yellow health. If he faints these Pokemon by mistake. Switch items and pay the P7500 fine again by trashing items.
Oh, and have him lead your party during all of Dragonspiral Tower, all of Icirrus Gym and also 2 of the Elite 4/Champion battles.
Also, Duckberg, that Deerling I gave you doesn't have to change restrictions every time the season changes XD. The form you catch it in is the one it stays in forever, and the restrictions are based on what form it is. Sorry I didn't make that clearer. Fun update btw.
EDIT:
@Vuchato:
Since Treadshot gave you hell incarnate for a challenge, I'm going to give you a much nicer one for your Tepig. This Tepig shall not have a nickname. Why? because, this Tepig believes he is THE Tepig! The Tepig to end ALL Tepig! As such, he must learn all of his evolutionary line's signature attacks. This means Heat Crash, Fire Pledge and Blast Burn. Learn these all ASAP. Just to be nice, no further restrictions beyond that.
And yes I realize I've given this out before, I'm tired and don't want to try and come up with a new one alright?
OH final note, my update is going to be a little late, I've been taking a short break from my Sapphire scramble just because I'm starting to get a little scrambled out (This is my third one in a row!) so bear with me for a day or two longer :P.

Vuchato, take a Lillipup and name it Yorkie.
This puppy is highly impressionable, so he learns from watching others battle.
Yorkie must solo Cress, and learns from watching the gym leader battle:
(The number of times Cress uses Work Up in this battle)/2 (Rounded down)=(The number of times Yorkie can evolve)
After his battle with Cress, Yorkie becomes obsessed with the move Work Up.
In trainer battles, he must use Work Up at least once before he can directly attack.
He must solo Iris. EDIT: Or Drayden. Any Dragon-type gym leader, really.
You have no restrictions on Tepig's evolution. Evolve it whenever you want to, as much as you want to. I told you I was giving you a nicer challenge to make up for Treadshots :P
That doesn't matter. I said "ASAP" and if "ASAP" isn't until the post-game, then that's fine. It just means he has only two slots taken up instead of three for most of the game.

Another update already? yeah but its only the crasher wake fight
-Returing from the pokemon centre, i proceed to go through the gyms simple puzzle
-I challenge THE CRASER WAKE to a gym battle
-He starts bragging about his team and agrees to fight me
-He sends gyrados out with scares leafs attack down 1 level
-leaf ignores me and uses aerial ace(still does about 25% dam) while gyra brines me
-this happens again then leaf uses razorleaf, dropping gyra to about 20% health
-Wake heals as leaf ignores me AGAIN, but gets a crit quick attack, undoing the heal
-leaf is hit by swagger(good/bad thing?) leaf does nothing
-leafs hits self in confusion, i heal 5 times with potions
-leaf ignores me and uses synthesis(Epic luck)
-Leaf is no longer confused but still does nothing
-leaf finishes gyra with razorleaf, time for a +1 attack sweep
-Wake sends out floatzel, let hope for no ice fang
-leaf survives and i stall with mermaid to heal (leaf needs to solo but i see soloing as only using that pokemon to fight, mermaid didnt)
-leaf comes back at full health, and 2HKOs with quick attack and razorleaf
-Wake sends his last pokemon out, quagsire, if leaf uses razorleaf, i have beaten wake.`
-leaf uses razorleaf and wins the fight.
-wake hands me two items, saying i've earned them
-YOU GET THE FEN BADGE+TM55 BRINE
-pokemon obey me till lv50 now (I think)
-i head to the pokemon centre to heal and rest the night
Snitch loves Harry Potter's Quidditch. He dreams about soaring through Mistralton Gym, which kinda looks like a Quidditch Stadium. To make his dream come true he must lead the team through the 6th gym (but he doesn't have to lead versus Skyla).
Sadly, he is a bit unhappy with his appearance. If only he were shiny, then he'd be a proper Golden Snitch! In his frustration he refuses to evolve, as he would lose his round shape, and can't learn any moves by TM. Even Calm Mind or Psychic are beyond his restless soul. Instead he holds on to his signature move Heart Stamp to project his dreams to other pokemon (who often flinch in boredom). Finally he refuses to use STAB attacks on flying types because he's afraid of being caught.
This is where you come in. By solo-ing major boss battles (Cheren, Bianca, any gymleader or N) he gains the confidence to shrug off some of these silly restrictions: He gets one point per solo'd boss battle and one point whenever he solo's every regular trainer in a gym. You can spend these points to delete the following restrictions:
Learn a TM → 1 Point
Learn Psychic → 1 Point
Learn Calm Mind → 2 Points
Forget Heart Stamp → 2 Points
STAB on Flying types → 2 Points
Evolve to Swoobat → 3 Points
To make things a little easier: Take one free point when you catch him and an extra point whenever he learns Fly (which is free btw). If this is still too hard you may enable Psychic attacks versus flying pokemon and gain an extra point if he solo's all rangers in Pinwheel Forest.
Have Fun!
BTW. Auramaster: that Lickytung solo was awesome! Koga is such a bastard :)
I think I'm noticing a theme in your scramble, and it has to something to do with shadow pokemon, fainting, and the letters "F" and "U".
Anyway, just started in on chapter 6 of my update, but it'll be a day or two before I finish it. Soooooo until then!
OH also, if LafondaOnFire is around, I'd like to request you nerf the requirement on the evolution of Relic somehow. As I mentioned in my last update, the situation required for it hardly ever happens more than a few times, let alone TEN times, and even when it does happen there's no guarentee I'll fill the rest of the requirmenets. Maybe make it so I can do it with wild Pokemon as well as trainer owned Pokemon?
Pretty happy with Crusty, and the rest of my team. I'm pretty sure I'll be going with STAB over shell smash, I rarely bother to set up in-game. I'm hoping its sturdy so he gets to solo clay
Yeah, I tried to tone it down a bit after Glowfire (who had even more of those colour healthe bar restrictions and item switching costs), who was a STARTER. Yeah, consider yourself lucky you don't get Vistroth until Dragonspiral Tower. ;)
