Let's get straight to the good stuff, shall we?
Issuing 2 Open Challenges

Challenge #1

2v2 Doubles
2 Day DQ
2 Recoveries/5 Chills per Pokemon
Using FE Mons
Arena: Terra Cage
Field Type: Ground
Complexity: Moderate
Format: All

Restrictions: All Weather moves bar Sandstorm will fail, No Water Source, no Natural Grass, Limited ceiling

Description: Terra Cage is a rough, indoor, desolate place that despite its hard, rocky surface, can be dug into. It is about 50x50m in length & width, & it is 30m high. The main mechanic here that gives Ground Types an advantage here is that when Sandstorm is used, it randomly fuses itself with the mud that can be found in some places around the arena, & the Sandstorm turns into a Mudstorm.
During a Mudstorm, at the end of every action, anything that isn't a Ground Type takes 3 Damage, +/- 1 for each time they are weak to/resist Ground (Flying & Levitiate is considered Neutral, Pokemon with Overcoat/Magic Guard don't take any damage). In addition, all non-Ground moves used by non-Ground Pokemon have -1 Accuracy. Any Ground-Type Pokemon that have abilities that activate under Sandstorm will activate under a Mudstorm.

Summary: Anything mentioned in the Restrictions, plus Sandstorm will turn into a Mudstorm when used.

So IAR sends out declare abilities, and Toast must pick his 2 pokemon+abilities, and actions, then IAR responds with actions, and the whole thing falls apart from there.
 
WELL, let's try our luck with Aqualos and Entorios! Intimidate your opponents, Aqualos! Entorios, boast your guts!

Aqualos: Avalanche -> Bounce Soil -> Avalanche

IF Gliscor uses Protect THEN use Bounce on Soil instead.

Entorios: Megahorn Soil -> Brick Break Soil -> Megahorn Soil

IF Soil uses Bounce THEN use Counter instead.

"Don't like Megawhal? Okay then, each to their own. Megawhal, make yourself useful & burrow yourself into the underground, while Capers, I want you to put up the Sandstorm we need. Megawhal, I then need you to stay underground, while Capers lets rip with a massive Acrobatics on Entorios. Megawhal, I then want you to come up from the underground to strike Entorios, while Capers finishes off the job with another Acrobatics on Entorios."

Capers: Sandstorm > Acrobatics (Entorios) > Acrobatics (Entorios)

Alright, IAR is testing out his hopeful Gym, and he brought two of his Ground pokemon, Capers the Gliscor and Megawhal the Colossoil. And who is his opponent? Why it's ToastTyrant13, a Fighting Gym hopeful, if I'm not mistaken. But he only brought one fighting type with him, Entorios the Heracross, and a counter-teaming Gyarados named Aqualos. This aughta be interesting. Part of a Gym Leader's responsibilties is to beat a mon that counters you. Let's see if Its_A_Random has what it takes.

Entorios is the fastest pokemon out there, so he starts things off by ramming his Megahorn into Megawhal, and ouch, did that hurt! Megawhal apparently is afraid to take any more damage, as he Digs underground, I think he's gonna be down there for a while. Not good, leaving Capers to fend for himself. The Gliscor doesn't seem to mind, though, has he whips up a Sandstorm, which turns into a Gym-exclusive Mudstorm!!!! Oh dear...Aqualos tries to summon an Avalanche (where did he even get that snow?) to hit Megawhal, but he's still underground, so the attack misses.

Entorios aims for Megawhal (why is everyone after him? He isn't even white...) by grabbing some Bricks, and Breaking them at Megawhal, which would hurt...somehow...but the Colossoil is still underground, so it missed! Megawhal is staying underground. I think he's one of those "indie" pokemon... Capers is ready to finally fight, and performs some amazing Acrobatics, finishing the event by smacking into Entorios for some amazingly solid damage. That kinda thing happens when you're x4 weak to your opponent. Aqualos takes off into the sky, wait, how did he do that?!? That Gyrados continues to pull bizarre stunts out of his ass. He lands and crashes into the ground, it looks like he tried to Bounce on top of Megawhal, but the Colossoil is still underground, so it missed, again!

Entorios, once again, goes for Megawhal with his Megahorn, but the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz Colossoil is underground some more, so it missed, you noticing a pattern here? Capers continues to fight for his team, and does his Acrobatics tricks on Entorios, but they just don't seem as impressive this time. That's what happens when you do the same trick twice in a row. Entorios is just as in pain, though. THAT was not diminished from repetition. Megawhal finally appears, and pops up underneath Entorios, dealing some good damage. Aqualos calls down another Avalanche, down the hole that Megawhal dug, but he isn't down there anymore, so it missed.

Let's stop for a moment and review what just happened.

Also, I'm pretty sure I didn't handle the energy for Dig wrong. Feel free to tell me how it was supposed to be. Also, since there was no target for Avalanche, I didn't have it do anything. Sorry, Toast!

Other than that, IAR, you're up!

"Excellent job, Capers & Megawhal, time to finish the bug once & for all & start focusing on the Serpent. Capers, finish the bug once & for all with a third Acrobtics, then start to pummel Gyarados with a Double Thunder Fang. If Heracross Endures, spam Toxic on it until it works before resuming from the next action onward. Megawhal, start by Taunting Aqualos to ensure Heracross goes down without a hitch, then double Thunder Fang it to keep him honest. If he Protects on your Taunt, then just chill & push actions back."

Capers: Acrobatics (Entorios) > Thunder Fang (Aqualos) > Thunder Fang (Aqualos)
IF Entorios uses Endure A1, THEN replace A2 with Toxic (Entorios) AND use it until it hits before resuming.


Megawhal: Taunt (Aqualos) > Thunder Fang (Aqualos) > Thunder Fang (Aqualos)
IF Aqualos uses Protect A1, THEN Chill & push actions back.
 
Alrighty, let's go guys! Entorios, I want you to endure that Acrobatics act and try to hold on for as long as you can! While they're all focusing on Aqualos and slinging silly toxins at you, charge up and focus on a powerful punch, then drive towards your opponent like a flailing mad man! That should do a hefty amount of damage to that Collosoil!

Aqualos, do your best to stall out Collosoil and use Protect! Now that he'll be using taunt, take advantage of him and hit him with a powerful waterfall, which should KO him! Once that's all said and done, attacke Gliscor with a powerful avalanche!

Entorios: Endure -> Flail+FocusPunch combo(Collosoil)+> Die
[35(20+15)+3+(5-3)*1.5]*1.5=61.5~62
Aqualos: Protect -> Waterfall (Collosoil) -> Avalanche (Gliscor)

"Alright guys, according to my calculations, Soil should be down and out after Action 2!"
 
I hope you don't mind I haven't been doing Speed Tie rolls for Colossoil and Gliscor. I figured I'd wait until it mattered (like who gets a KO, etc.)

Mudstorm for 3 Rounds.

Alright, let's get this show back on the road! Aqualos takes the initiative this time, unleashing a devastating...Protect. I didn't expect a god damn Sea Serpent/Dragon/God to hide before he's even targetted by an attack. This Gyarados confuses me to no end. Entorios the Heracross apparently senses that the end is near (now why would he think that?), so he braces himself, ready to Endure any hit that might come his way. Capers is all too happy to oblige, performing (sigh) some more Acrobatics, smacking into Entorios after building some more momentum. I'm not even impressed anymore. Entorios is on the verge of death fainting, so I guess its a good thing he braced himself right before that hit! Megawhal actually doesn't hide this time around (yet), and instead of joining Capers on offense, tries to Taunt Aqualos, but Aqualos can't see or hear through his protective barrier, so the Taunt fails. This round of action ends, and the Mudstorm nicks into the combatants. Capers and Megawhal don't really mind, and even Aqualos shrugs it off. Entorios, on the other hand, collapses from the damage. Oh dear, Entorios has been KO'ed! Looks like the arena will claim a KOC when the match is over.

Now that they've eliminated half the competition, surely Capers and Megawhal will team up to take down Aqualos and get a clean sweep. Heck, the match could be over this round! Capers, being a primarily defensive mon, opts to launch a Toxic substance at...Entorios. For obvious reasons, it fails. Megawhal does finally start some offense, and he bites down on Aqualos with a Thunder Fang. Someone please explain how a Dark/Ground Narwhal can produce electricity with his mouth. Bah, whatever. Aqualos begins the lonely fight by trying to do something related to a Waterfall, but there's no water to use in this arena, so that move failed, too.

Megawhal continues to fight Aqualos by chomping down with another Thunder Fang, while Capers is apparently a sadistic bastard, and keeps trying to Toxic Entorios, despite the move being doomed to fail. ToastTyrant, please take Entorios off the field, for his own health. Aqualos just thought of a great idea, and summons another Avalanche, this time with a target! But who? Oh, he targetted Capers. The move caught the evil bat by such surprise, the move landed a critical hit. Yowza, that hurt.

It seems like both competitors forgot how Endure works!

Of course, I made a random oversight, forgetting about one Mudstorm...Oh well, time to end this!

"So our opponent forgot to target again...Of course, I could just sit here & show mercy by simply letting the mud finish off Aqualos, but I'm not that kind of person...FINISH HIM!!!"

This match is looking to end soon, let's see exactly how it goes down! Megawhal sees that despite the type disadvantage, its 2v1, and uses that fact to Torment Aqualos. Capers joins in on the fun by also using Thunder Fang (seriously, how do ground types use Thunder Fang?!) on Aqualos. The lone Gyarados tries to Avalanche, but it fails for more than one reason ._.

Capers takes the lead on Megawhal, and bites down yet again with Thunder Fang on Aqualos, which is exactly enough to finish off the mighty Gyarados, Aqualos has been KO'ed. That means ToastTyrant13 is out of pokemon, Its_A_Random wins!
