The pokemon' species is incorrect in Doubt's Profile and in the battle op.
I am inclined to DQ this battle as inaccurate battle info. But if both trainers agree to continue, then Doubt has to edit his profile with the right species name. In this battle's case it is Kitsunoh and not Nohface.

zarator decides whether to DQ Doubt and Shadow for inaccurate battle info.
Doubt corrects the pokemon's species name on his profile if Zarator declines to DQ Doubt.

Gale Wing Srock no problem to continue for me

 

[Doubt]

Gale Wing Srock yeah that's an error on my part. No idea how that slipped by approval, but I'll fix it. Anyway, it is indeed a Kitsunoh, and I do want to continue.

Flavor: Commentary

Burd: Welcome Folks!
This evening we bring you another interesting battle between Zarator and Doubt.

McKrow: There is no doubt in my mind that Doubt would lose.

Burd: Zarator is a tough trainer, but you cannot underestimate Doubt.
We have to wait and watch if Doubt gets his 10th win or
will this add to Zarator's list of numerous victories.

Referee: The battle is between Doubt's Shadow and Zarator's Sune.

McKrow: OP pokemons' need a nerf.

Burd: The community is doing their best to keep the game balanced.
But in case of this battle, Zarator has the upper hand in both experience and training.
Doubt has to bring his A game to make it an even match up.

Referee: Lets get the battle underway!

Flavor: Battle Events

Shadow starts of by striking Sune the Gardevoir with immense swiftness using its paws, creating a shockwave in the air at the front of Sune that pushes the Gardevoir back, causing her to flinch.

A well renouned Expert, Issac Abu Attling says, "Tsk! Tsk! Hit hard while ordering second and defend when ordering first. That is what I always recommend my students."

Shadow yawns loudly, making Sune think about resting, this makes her a little drowsy.
Sune however creates a ball out of Shadows' shadows and hurls it at Shadow. The shadows hit Shadow where it hurts the most, but fell short of penetrating into its mind.

Shadow then animated its shadow to stretch over to Sune. Shadow then entered the shadow and exited it right next to Sune, while surprising her and attacking her with great speed.

Sune creates a ball out of Shadows' shadows again and hurls it at Shadow. The shadows hit Shadow hard, but fell way short of penetrating into its mind.

Experts still question Doubts' techniques, for example the use of the move Double Team(2 Clones) seems to be have been a more efficient choice than Yawn. But they are giving the benefit of doubt to Doubt and are waiting to see what strategy Doubt and Shadow would employ on the following round.​

Flavor: Audience Reaction

The Audience comprises mainly of Zarator's fans. There are a few neutral ASB loving folks and a dozen or so supporters for Doubt.

The entire round went through in silence except for an odd Ah! Oh! and Ouch! from the audience.

The crowd is waiting in anticipation for the orders from the two trainers in the following round.

D' Burd: Chirp, Chirpy Chirp?!!

Burd: Yeah Friend.
Even I am not sure why Zarator choose not to attack this round.

McKrow: I know now, why Idiots are called as Bird brain!

D' Burd: Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!!!
{and flies away}

Burd: Ahem! {clears his throat}
Though Doubt wastes no time attacking Sune at full throttle,
we will have to wait and see if Zarator is trying to trap Doubt,
in the next round while ordering first.

McKrow: Ha Ha, Haven't you noticed that Sune is drowsy,
and could fall asleep any second?

Burd: Uh! Okay. I still don't understand the idea of a defensive strategy,
When you are clearly ahead.

McKrow: Do i need to repeat it to you four times?
Do you know the move Endeavor? If you do, then shut up and if not then IDC!

Referee: {signals cut to the producer}
Moving on to Round 2!

Flavor: Battle Events

Shadow is the apt name for a pokemon that loves to thrive in the shadows. Though it is difficult for a creature in shining armour to disappear into the shadows, Shadow somehow mysteriously disappears into a shadowy dimension and waits in the shadows silently.

Where as Sune knows that she cannot strike a shadow, She erects a paling wall like psychic barrier around it so as to negate the super effective ghost assaults that Shadow is intending to punish it with.

Shadow quitely sneaks behind Sune and strikes her from behind, but Sune's reflecting barrier cushions the attack. But Sune soon falls asleep and hoping that there is no Shadow in her dreams.

The Dark Pokemon Expert, Malfoy Sr. smiles at Zarator, "Interesting! Very Interesting. Ordering second, and knowing that Sune the Gardevoir would sleep. Interesting! Very Interesting indeed!"

Shadow then continues to play with its shadows and animates it this time to stretch over to Sune, while entering it and moving closer to Sune to strike her with great speed.

The battle Expert, Issac Abu Attling says, "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! The only exception to go all out when ordering first is, when you know your opponent is not going to attack you. Improper use of Substitutions when ordering first. Students! take not of what not to do from this trainer, this action."

Sune sleeps for a while and has nightmares about shadowy creatures creeping into her mind. It seems like she is about to wake up soon.

Shadow for the umpteth time plays around with its shadows. One would wonder if Kitsunoh means shadow in some foreign language. Shadow waits in the its shadows silently yet again to pounce on Sune when the time is right.

Sune sensing that her nightmare is very real, wakes up with a shock, but Zarator calms her down with their telepathic connection and soothes her into relaxed state when she funnels her energy into a small white sphere and releases it into the sky above. The white sphere shines brightly and reveals the hiding Shadow.

Shadow immediately pounces on Sune to strike it yet again, but the reflective barrier of Sune holds strong and cushions the damage to a great extent.

"The plays used during this round were really good and both trainers made a good attempt to inch closer to victory. Though, the second action from Shadow is questionable as Shadow does posses other super effective attacks against Sune that do not delve into the shadows." says the Expert who polishes the Gym Trophies.​

Flavor: Audience Reaction

The Audience are silent, with no one speaking a word; but only applauding Zarator with excessive respect. Some even stood up to give him a standing ovation and a few even removed their hats as a mark of respect.

"Not only does he know how to battle with Ghost pokemon, he also knows how to battle against them. A true genius!" says an Elite Zarator fan.

"Nah! Doubt has got this... I am with you Doubt! Just hang in there." shouts an eager fan of Doubt who wants Doubt to win this battle in the Balboa style. {Eye of the tiger theme plays with Shadow the Kitsunoh and Doubt remembering their battles together}

The crowd is extremely impatient and are on the edge of their seats, waiting for the next round to happen. Though most of them know what the end will be, they are mindlessly curious on how the end would come.

Flavor: Battle Events

Shadow yet again plays with its Shadows and Sneaks up on Sune.

But Sune has had it, She is going all offensive this round trying to give Shadow a taste of its own shadowy tricks.

Doubt makes good use of this and asks Shadow to recall all the hardships of the battle and to pound it all on Sune who takes a beating.

But Shadow's hide and hit strategy would soon come to an end, as Sune has left Shadow breathing profusely in exhaustion.

The battle Expert, Issac Abu Attling says, "Now that was completely the opposite of what I tell my students. Defend when ordering first and Attack when ordering second."

The Elegant Ghost Trainer, Peeves says, "Every method and its converse has its own Dimension in this universe."

"A good overall round, Shadow got a little more damage than it would have liked and wouldn't survive another Shadow Ball. Lets see what Doubt has up his sleeve now." says a Pokemon Researcher.

The Audience, sensing that the battle is about to end are restless and craving for more.

Fans of Zarator are shouting and shrieking like they are all new born babies. But all of them fall silent when Zarator looks at them, it seems like a freezing gaze that bring silence to the entire arena.
Though from deep within Zarator's side of the Entrance to the Arena, a mysterious lady is seen approaching.

Zarator ignores the lady and focuses on the battle ahead. He is all set to win the battle, unless Doubt brings his 'A' game on the round that matters.

Shadow uses Phatom Force and disappears into the shadowy dimension for a while, Where as Sune prepares for the Kill by calming her mind. Shadow strikes Sune from Behind, but Sune shrugs it off and focuses on the knock out.

Shadow uses Endeavor for what ever reason Doubt thought it was useful. Sune gives Shadow a final payback for all the Shadowery from him. Shadow faints, while Sune remains calm and composed.

The battle Expert, Issac Abu Attling says, "Tsk, Tsk. More was expected from the trainer who took out Gale Wings!"

The Elegant Ghost Trainer, Peeves says, "Disappointing!"

"A good finish to the battle, Though there is Doubt all over the second action of the round." says a Pokemon Researcher.

The Crowd is giving a Mexican wave celebration for a great win by Zarator!

But the Mystery lady doesn't reveal herself, It is unclear why she chose to appear suddenly and then disappear.
May be it has something to do with the conclusion of the battle.

Zarator wonders and then shrugs off, accepting the applause and standing ovation as he leaves the Arena.

Where as Doubt and Shadow are left in the Shadows, wondering what they could have done better to win against the Legendary Ghost Gym Leader.
