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.
Giga Drain~Energy Ball~Giga Drain
IF damaging physical Rock-type move THEN use Counter.
IF Bide A1 or A2 THEN change actions to Will-O-Wisp~Substitute (15)~Roar.
Birkal, please keep this ruling in mind. This ruling was specifically regarding Power-Up Punch in combinations with multi-hit moves, but it seems logical to extend this to King's Rock + Multi-hit move, and say King's Rock is only factored in once.
Official Ruling: Combinations are to be considered one attack, and they check the effect of their combinant parts only once. The special property of a multi-hit move combination is primarily that it allows spillover damage on a Substitute. While Parental Bond's damage is calculated similarly, Parental Bond attacks are considered two distinct attacks for the purposes of checking effects.
Completely, 100% wrong. First of all, that explicitly says combination. Rock Blast, by itself, is not a combo, so the ruling doesn't even apply. Second, if it was specifically for an ability that isn't Skill Link and a move that isn't Rock Blast, it shouldn't apply at all. Third, King's Rock checking on each hit in multi-hit moves is pretty much the only reason to use it. Fourth, you can't make a distinction between special and physical attacks in a move category, so the whole sub is illegal. Thanks for letting me use Rock Blast freely.
This may not net the final KO, but it will certainly get us rather close.
After the mighty dragon tailed attack from Pyroak, Jynx is promptly sent back to the gym leader. The knockback drags out Frozone the Cloyster, waterwarrior's defensive powerhouse in this arena. With a smug grin on its face, Cloyster digs into the snow, preparing itself for battle. Pyroak grunts a short burst of flames from its nostrils while striking a fighting stance.
With a sharp cry, the oyster suddenly shoots a giant rock from outside of its crevices. The rock hits Pyroak square in the breastplate, knocking it back a few strides. Before Birchman can even comprehend what is going on, Cloyster launches off another boulder at the foe. More rocks follow in quick succession, totaling to five shots total. The force of the blow takes Pyroak aback so much that it cannot mentally compose itself to make another attack. Cloyster grins devilishly, invigorated by the falling enemy, and fires off another round of stones. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. The blasts overwhelm Pyroak once again, incapacitating it from retaliating.
waterwarrior raises a first into the air. "Finish it off, Cloyster!" he cries, resolute on winning this match. With gusto, Cloyster launches off another grouping of five rocks, going in for the KO. Pyroak panics, and in a split second decision, consumes its final resource: the Aguav Berry. The quick snack gives it just enough health to survive the onslaught. Emboldened, Pyroak releases spores from its bark armor, which directly latch onto Cloyster and absorb a good chunk of damage.
Pyroak is barely clinging to life here, but it's still got some spunk left. Geodude6's fate looks grim, but this match is still up in the air, folks.

The icy wind howls across the arena. Two challengers stand face-to-face with their two Pokemon. Their faces are tense. On one end is waterwarrior; his burly eyebrows are crunched in a concentrated stare at the current battle. On the other is Geodude6, whose bright eyes dart from Pokemon to Pokemon at a frantic pace. This battle is nearing its end, but his calculating eyes spot a glimpse of hope.
Birchman lets out a shrill rasp that cuts through the wind like a knife. Its features begin to glow as it mentally prepares to preserve its life for one more round, no matter what the cost. Its face grimaces in intense concentration. Frozone refrains from snickering and gets down to business by spewing a mess of toxic gunk. The odd assault breaks Pyroak's focus; although its Endure will withstand any damaging blow, the lizard won't be able to survive the toxic aftermath. As it ponders its next move, Cloyster takes no time in summoning a strong tidal wave. The salty brine mixes poorly with the snow to create a cold slush that brings Birchman's hit points down to one. Finally resolved, Pyroak does the only logical move at this point: it takes a snooze. The quick catnap on the field not only gives it a bit more health back, but it also alleviates the sickening poison.
Infuriated, Frozone launches off a stretch of its infamous five rocks at the dying Birchman. The blows are so intense that they manage to awaken the slumbering behemoth. As it regained consciousness, Pyroak realizes that her plan worked flawlessly! The excitement overflows in the form of a triumphant roar, the power of which sends Cloyster flying backwards from its anchor in the snow.
Although this match is looking like a victory for the gym leader, Geodude6 is showing that he is no slouch when it comes to battling. He and his Pyroak are willing to go the distance.
