The Lopunny delivers a series of kicking attacks to its Psychic-type opponent, but Zelfie tells the Gardevoir to calmly endure the attacks. What could her plan be? How will nightblitz42 and his Lopunny do ordering second? And what's that ball of energy in the ceiling?

The Gardevoir just needs a little bit more time before its opponent is hit by the huge mass of energy, which is getting closer to the Lopunny every second. Its eyes on the Future Sight attack, it creates a barrier to guard itself against the Lopunny's fierce Return. Suddenly, the translucent, green sphere envelops the Lopunny, dealing impressive damage!

When it frees itself from the attack, the Normal-type compliments the Gardevoir on its stunning Protect. The Gardevoir smiles and shows it the move again, but without the same level of success. The Lopunny changes its demeanor once more to a battle-ready one, but makes the mistake of trying to attack while the Gardevoir is in the middle of showing it another successful Protect. Or could this have been nightblitz42's plan all along? Either way, Gardevoir has almost run out of energy, and the Lopunny looks angry! This battle is getting intense!

This would be so much easier if Lopunny could just use Taunt...
Lopish: "Me? Taunt? I'd rather not get hit, please."

Dig ~ Bounce ~ Dig
IF Chill THEN (Teeter Dance AND replace all instances of "Chill" in the second substitution with Return) first instance and Ice Punch all future instances, pushing back actions each time.

IF Future Sight THEN Chill, pushing back actions.

Although the Gardevoir is able to clear its mind, it can't focus on the wildly springing Lopunny enough to get a hit in.

The Gardevoir finally gets its chance to attack the Lopunny, which is forced to rest after all of its hopping around, but it only gets one hit in before it succumbs to exhaustion itself.

This matchup is a bit more problematic... I don't have enough room to sub for combination attacks.
