Considering the heavyweights we've got this time around, I believe this music would be appropriate here.
In the red corner, we have ASB's Grass gym leader and co-winner of the Tag Team Tournament, Pwnemon! I personally have him to thank for showing me just how much of a pain in the ass Sableye can be. I imagine Pwnemon will be bringing his one along to this battle. Let's see ...

Keen Eye: (Innate) This Pokemon has extremely good vision and cannot have its accuracy lowered by an opponent through any means (including accuracy lowering attacks, Smogs, Hazes, Fog, etc.). Its attacks are still affected by an opponent’s evasion and the Pokemon's own accuracy.
Stall: (Innate) This Pokemon has a watchful eye and immense patience. It can be ordered to attack last on any action regardless of ordinary attack priority. If an opponent orders their Pokemon to attack after Sableye, that attack will fail. Against another Sableye, the trainer who issues attacks first has precedence and the opponent's attack will fail.
Prankster: (Innate) The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks an increase in priority level.

And in the blue corner, we have ASB's on-again, off-again Dark gym leader and creator of multiple roleplays in ASB, including the Battle Pike, LouisCyphre! If Lou can take a bullet and live to ASB another day, I don't know what it'll take to knock him out for good! Let's see what he's bringing to this battle ...
Toxicroak ♂ - Mizar
Nature: Naughty (Atk: +1, SpD: -1)
Type: Poison / Fighting
Poison Type - Poison STAB; immunity to Poison/Toxic, see and breath through smog/smokescreens/haze uninhibited. Able to use Wrap and Bind without losing focus. Superior senses in urban settings.
Fighting Type - Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions of throwing/grappling moves. Superior reaction time in close quarters.
Abilities:
Anticipation - (Passive) This Pokemon is better at sensing dangerous attacks, and reduced the Base Attack Power from super-effective attacks, Selfdestruct, and Explosion by two (2).
Dry Skin - (Passive) This Pokemon has spongy, yet sensitive skin, causing it to burn in bright sunlight for damage but absorb water and heal damaged tissues in rain. This effect results in dealing two (2) damage/action to this Pokemon in sunlight and recovering two (2) HP/action in rain. In addition, the dry skin is very vulnerable to flames and the Base Attack Power of incoming Fire attacks is increased by two (2). The Pokemon absorbs the damage of water attacks and recovers 25% of HP the damage that would have been inflicted.
(DW) Poison Touch - (Toggle) By default, this Pokemon's body is covered with a film of poison. Whenever it hits an opponent with a contact attack, that opponent has a 30% chance of being Poisoned. When toggled, this Pokemon's natural toxins are more potent. As a result, all of this Pokemon's attacks that inflict regular poison will inflict Toxic poison instead (with the same chance of effect).

Having survived a lot of punishment and hard battles to get to this point, Byne has learned fully the value of teammates. To this end, he has started to focus on support strategies instead of offense. He's already got offense all figured out, you see. He's still not the social type, but proximity with others is no longer an issue.
Tomohawk ♀ - Pumyra
Nature: Modest (SpA: +1, Atk: -1)
Type: Flying / Fighting
Flying Type - Flying STAB; immunity to Ground attacks outside extremely odd circumstances even for ground-based flying Pokemon. Enhanced aerial mobility. Superior senses in open air arenas.
Fighting Type - Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions of throwing/grappling moves. Superior reaction time in close quarters.
Abilities:
Intimidate - (Trigger) When this Pokemon initially goes out into the battlefield, it generates an intimidating roar or war cry that shakes all opponents on the battlefield, reducing their Attack stage by one (1). The attack drop is maintained at the end of each round. If an opponent switches in a new Pokemon, Intimidate can be activated again as a Command, and will affect all opponents. Command: Activate Intimidate
Prankster - (Passive) The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks a +1 increase in priority level.
(DW) Justified - (Passive) This Pokemon's body reacts to dark energy, invigorating its passions. When hit by a Dark-type move, the Pokemon's attack will increase one (1) stage. A boost gained this way by another Pokemon's attack will be maintained at the end of each round. Self-targeted attacks do not maintain boosts.

Finding reprieve in the necessities, Pumyra prefers to live simply and honestly. The falliables of others are of little weight on her mind; one day leads into the next eventually, but not right now. In battle, Pumyra takes her time and etches her advantages to last - no point in anything that doesn't last longer than it takes to create.
Mollux ♀ - Huxley

The Pokemon absorbs the damage of water attacks and recovers 25% of HP the damage that would have been inflicted.
(DW) Illuminate - (Toggle) No default effect. When toggled, this Pokemon emits a continuous light that brightens the environment and makes it easier for all Pokemon to see. While this ability is active, any darkened or twilight state in the battle is negated and all moves used by any Pokemon (friend or foe, or itself) have their accuracy increased by 10% (flat). Boosts from multiple Illuminates do not stack.

Carefree and adventurous, Huxley wanders as she pleases without regard of the possible dangers. Oft scolded, but never daunted, Huxley has yet to befall serious harm from her exploration.
Now, to decide who is going to send out first, I am going to flip a standard issue virtual coin. Heads = Pwnemon sends out first. Tails = LouisCyphre sends out first.
GAAAAAAAAH! How the hell does the standard issue virtual coin land on its edge? That's it, I'm swapping it for a pound coin from my own country! Heads = Pwnemon sends out first. Tails = LouisCyphre sends out first.
There we go.
How it's gonna go down
- LouisCyphre chooses his first two Pokemon
- Pwnemon chooses his first two Pokemon and orders
- LouisCyphre orders
- Objection refs
