Since we all know what Rolf is sending out, AlphaJolt sends out his mon first, then gives his orders, etc. You know how it works.

 

[AlphaJolt]

Heracles show 'em who's boss here! Start things of with a Karate Chop. Then use Revenge to hit him nice and hard. Finish off with another Karate Chop.

 

[Terrador]

Bumping since Rolf is just less than 12 hrs past DQ time; I'll give him until the end of the night (which is in about 5 hrs 15 min for me) to post his actions, or he'll be DQ'd otherwise.

@Rolf, sorry to be so strict, but you imposed the DQ time yourself; besides, I really don't want to waste someone's battle slot.

 

[Rolf]

Alpha posted? oh lol.

Rattata, start by using Super Fang to knock his health down a bit. Next, Counter both the revenge and karate chop!

The match began with the release of Rolf's Rattata, Heather and AlphaJolt's release of Heracles the Machop. Heather started strong with a Super Fang, sinking her jaws into the previously-robust Machop. Heracles, however, was not to be denied; his Karate Chop slammed into the skull of Heather, knocking her for a loop. Both retreated a couple of steps, waiting for the next move.
Heracles was the one to end the reprieve, using Revenge when no attack from Heather was forthcoming. He thought that it would catch on the mysterious brown aura that Heather had erected, but it didn't; Heather was clearly suffering from the repeated Fighting-Type assaults. Just as the attack landed, though, Heracles was slammed back with incredible force: It turns out that the brown aura was in fact Counter!
Heracles, after shaking off the brutal blow, continued his Fighting assault with another Karate Chop. As the attack was landing, he saw Heather create the brown energy field once again; however, he could only do as his Trainer commanded. Sure enough, the Karate Chop did significant damage, but the responding Counter hit all the harder. After the last hit, the referee stepped in to sort out the trouble.

"All right, everyone! Hold off for just a moment, and I'll tell you how your Pokemon are doing; after that, Rolf is the first to move!"

Okay Rattata, great job! Hyper Fang until the poor guy faints! We might even get a flinch in there!

 

[AlphaJolt]

He's attacking you, use Revenge every time you're hit! If you don't flinch or get critted you win, so hold fast and stay in there!

The intense battle between the muscular mini-man and the ravenous rodent began anew when Heather rushed forward and clamped her jaws around Heracles, catching him in a Hyper Fang which left him incredibly close to unconsciousness. Heracles's response was vindictive, but incredibly powerful: His super-effective Revenge left Heather even worse for wear than himself.
However, the battle finished when Heather used Hyper Fang once again; once she opened her jaws, Heracles fell backwards, his eyes disoriented spirals.
"All right, Trainers, that's enough! Heracles is unable to battle; that makes Rolf the winner! Time for your rewards for this battle...
"Rolf, AlphaJolt, you both recieve 2 Trainer Counters for being here today. Heather the Rattata recieves 1 Evolution Counter, 2 Move Counters, 1 Dream Counter, and 1 Knockout Counter. Heracles the Machop earns 1 Evolution Counter, 2 Move Counters, and 1 Dream Counter for his valiance here today. Finally, I recieve 2 Referee Counters for my role as arbiter of this brawl. Have a great day!"
