Regardless of delays, it looks like this battle is as important as any other. Don't you worry about me, I'll just get you two on your way now. First, let's go over the rules real quick. Since Evasun didn't specify abilities, items, and rules when he accepted the challenge (something to keep in mind in the future) we'll just go with the standards on all of that.

Rules:
3v3 singles
1.5 Day DQ
2 substitutions
2 recoveries and 5 chills
ASB Arena
Switch=ok
All Abilities
Items=Off

Now, we'll move on to the teams.

Now, for turn order.
1. Psyco Josho sends out
2. Evasun_ sends out, and gives orders
3. Psyco Josho orders.
4. I ref, on time.
 
Tempted as I am to save it for Ralts, go, Honedge!

Brick Break ~ Gyro Ball ~ Brick Break
IF Dig AND you do not have a Substitute up, THEN Substitute (15) and push back.
IF Protective/Evasive move, THEN Swords Dance and push back.

Gyro Ball isn't incredible in this situation, but it's the best I've got.
 
And it likes this battle begins with a standoff of old vs new - Psycho Josho's fan favorite Eevee facing off Evasun_'s sixth generation powerhouse Honedge! Both being immune to each others' STABs, this certainly will be a unique neutral matchup. Psycojosho's Fuzzy looks lovable as usual, bouncing around in the fresh grass of the ASB Arena (if only such fresh grass could be found in colorado right now .-.). Upon seeing the eerily floating Sharpshotless, however, Fuzzy panics and lets out a terrified yelp. Unexpectedly, this wimpy Growl of fear unlocked something deep inside the Honedge, and he pauses momentarily before his attack. Does he really want to hurt something so adorable as Eevee?

Yes. Yes he does. And although his hesitation may have softened the blow slightly, Sharpshotless still strikes with enough force to Break a Brick. Fuzzy's luxurious fur might be silky smooth and warm, but it definitely does not provide the necessary defenses against a possessed sword striking her with all his might. She does, however, have some tricks up her cute little foxdogcat sleeves, and launches out a powerful Shadow Ball to blast her foe with his own ghostly energy. The sword cringes, and runs away from the battle.

...

Wait! Sharpshotless is not running away; he's simply circling around for another attack! He returns, gyrating intensely and smashes into Eevee with a Gyro Ball attack. Even though Honedge was not given as much time to charge up his attack, it still looks like it hurt quite a bit. Fuzzy shoots off another Shadow Ball, and takes another Brick Break to her fluffy tail. This battle is looking fairly even so far, and it could most certainly go either way!

Now, there's three things that can happen, and it all depends on your two choices. Since you're both new, I'll give a little rundown and switching in our lovely CAP ASB. Check out this hide tag for more info :)
Since Psyco Josho will be ordering first this round, then he can opt to start a switching phase, by saying something along the lines off "Switching Eevee out, and Tynamo in. Would you like to counterswitch, my dearest opponent?" Then, Evasun_ will be given the choice to counterswitch. If he chooses to do so, he must order first. Otherwise, Psyco Josho must still order first. That was a little confusing, so here's some handy dandy scenarios.
1. Psyco Josho orders
2. Evasun_ orders
3. I ref

1. PJ switches in a new Pokemon
2. Evasun_ declines counterswitch
3. PJ orders
4. Evasun_ orders
5. I ref

1. PJ switches in a new Pokemon
2. Evasun_ counterswitches, and orders
3. PJ orders

Substitute (25) ~ Brick Break ~ Gyro Ball
IF you do not have a Substitute up THEN Substitute (15) that action and push back.

Unless Shadow Ball crits, I should be fine and save ~12 damage.
 
It's not often in CAP ASB that the situation calls for outright move spam, but this awkward matchup is one of them. Left with no other options, Fuzzy is forced to fire off continuous Shadow Balls. Evasun_, however, orders his Honedge to cleverly manipulate this blind assault, creating a Substitute to bewilder and distract his foe. Seeing as how Honedge is practically inanimate anyways, Fuzzy has trouble discerning the two and hits the substitute with her next Shadow Ball! Sharpening his swords in a snickering manner, Sharpshotless smacks the Eevee with another Brick Break. Not phazed at all, Fuzzy shoots out one more exhausting Shadow Ball, only to strike the Substitue again. Where is Sharpshotless anyways? It looks like he is making another round for a Gyro Ball. As the next round begins, Sharpshotless is left with a tactical 1 HP Substitute against a low energy Eevee...things are looking uphill for Psyco Josho.

Sharpshotless=Brick Break (6 EN) [12.25 Damage]

Fuzzy=Shadow Ball (22 EN) [12 Damage to Substitute] (As you can see here, PJ, constantly spamming a move causes its energy cost to increase very fast, exhausting your Pokemon far faster than you might anticipate)
Sharpshotless=Gyro Ball (6 EN) [9 Damage]

1. Evasun_ goes

...I forgot Eevee outsped. Still worked out better in the end for me, though.

Brick Break ~ Gyro Ball ~ Brick Break
IF Dig AND you do not have a Substitute up AND your HP is greater than 15 THEN Substitute (15) and push back.
IF Protective/Evasive THEN Swords Dance that action and push back.

These orders seem familiar.
 
Bite ~ Shadow Ball ~Shadow Ball

I should not have started off with growl...

Also, I'm pretty sure that No Guard ignores the semi-invulnerability of Dig and other such moves. Doesn't it?
 
And the slugfest continues! Fuzzy and Sharpshotless have at each other for an entire round of fox-crushing sword-blunting action, and in the end...neither seems to be in good condition. Sharpshotless has finally recovered from the earlier terrifying Eevee growl, and has ever so slightly more hp, but Fuzzy is faster and could finish this fight instantly! What an incredibly even matchup!

Shadow Sneak + Aerial Ace * 3

Combo should be Flying as Aerial Ace has a higher BAP than Shadow Sneak, allowing me to bypass the Ghost immunity. Hopefully.
 
Fuzzy looks ready to finish off her fore, before the Honedge suddenly disappears into the shadows. Looking around warily, Fuzzy is completely unprepared for the Aerial Sneak Attack that Sharpshotless strikes her with. Although exhausted and weak, it looks like the Honedge has won this first duel.

lol did you really need me to order
 
Replacing Fuzzy with great vengeance, the suggestively named Sperm the Tynamo takes to the field, before firing off an impressive CHARGE BEAM, chanelling Thor's might into a blast of electrical energy it not only faints the hapless Sharpshotless, it even raises Sperm's special attack! Wowzers!

Cottonee @ nothing seems like the best bet here, though really, it's a Tynamo. Shouldn't be too much of a problem unless I suck (which I do, but not to that extent).
 
OK, what are some threatening moves Bushy has?... More than enough for Sperm. Lol.

Alright you useless little eel, you're going to lose to this bag of fluff, and dammit if you're not going to lose gloriously.

"I love you daddy!"

Sperm:
Spark ~ Charge Beam ~ Spark
 
Bushwhack takes to the field cleverly, twirling around gaily and spreading some Leeching Seeds on the little electroworm's body. Faced with his new powerful foe, Sperm continues to channel the rage of the thunder god into his very bloodstream, empowering him with legendary strength. He slams into the Cottonee with an Gyarados-shaking Spark, only to have some of his norse lifeblood sucked out by the seeds.

Bushwhack continues his clever ploys with a barrage of Razor-sharp Leaves and some Toxic spores, while Sperm resorts to bloodthirsty action as usual. To reward his devotion and dedication, Thor has even granted Sperm the power of paralysis, and he uses this newfound ability to great use on Bushwhack! Sperm is littered with status, but Bushwhack is now slower and ordering first - it could still go either way!
