Welcome one and all to the second round of The Grand Tournament: Sinnoh Mythos! We've now had a bit of time to familiarize ourselves with the trainers, so lets see how things go for this exciting second round.
My name is Gemini and I have been tasked with overseeing this battle on the coast of beautiful Lake Valor!
The trainers will need to have some strong willpower to make it through this tough battle as both of them have one victory under their belt!
Both competitors have brought plenty of strength but only one can get the coveted win and ultimately get one step further to the crown!
But first... the rules of the battle!
The Rules said:B4P3 Singles
DQ: 36h (48h for the ref)
Time Limit: 60 days
All Abilities
All Items
Three Substitutions
One Mega Evolution
Five Chills / Two Recoveries
One Z-Move
Arena: Lake Valor
Lake Valor is the resting place of Azelf, the Willpower Pokemon. Unfortunately for the battlers, Azelf was not warned ahead of time about the incoming presence at their lake...
Effects
Azelf's natural defense system has been tripped:
Additionally:
- At the start of the match: Stealth Rock is active on both sides of the battlefield.
- At the end of Round 3: one (1) layer of Spikes is laid on both sides of the battlefield.
- At the end of Round 6: Sticky Web is laid on both sides of the battlefield.
- At the end of Round 9: one (1) layer of Toxic Spikes is laid on both sides of the battlefield.
- At the end of Round 12: Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, one (1) layer of Spikes, and one (1) layer of Toxic Spikes are laid on both sides of the battlefield.
- At the end of Round 15, and each round thereafter: each active Pokemon takes 25 fixed damage. This effect is the final effect to resolve at the end of a round.
- Stealth Rock does 9 damage regardless of the typing of the Pokemon damaged by the hazard.
- Spikes do half damage to Pokemon that are not grounded.
- Toxic Spikes apply to non-grounded Pokemon as well.
- Sticky Web reduces Evasion by one (1) stage as well.

In somewhat of a subversion for a Slowbro, this guy's not really dumb. He can actually be pretty smart if he really puts in the effort. No, it's more that he's stubborn. Very much so. Edea levels of stubborn. He will absolutely refuse to back down once he's settled on something, and he certainly has the stamina and iron will to tire any potential opponents out.
That said, because of this, he's incredibly difficult to bring to reason at times, so yeah, he can be pretty stupid. Apparently he doesn't mind being hit either, maybe he's just that sturdy. He'll often use that, uh, talent of his to great effect both in battle and outside of battle, as he's adamant on being everyone's shield. Eh, at least he has his heart in the right place.

I was sure he'd turn tail the second I was reported missing, and yet here he is. or maybe his tendency to attract trouble actually led us to him, or him to us. Who knows. In any case, he's now begrudgingly a part of the new team, and still pulling his own weight!
And still kinda harassing every girl in the team, except those that can smack him hard enough to send him flying. He doesn't really try his luck with them.
He tried engaging contact with Dahlia once. He wouldn't come out for a week afterwards, scared of the outside world.

Bernadetta likes to hide in quiet underwater places. She usually attacks the enemy by flailing all of her arms at it and shooting various projectiles until either the foe is KO or she's exhausted. She can shoot with deadly accuracy and a lot of power, though, so you should be wary whenever she's aiming at you. Once you get close to her, though, she tends to just curl in a ball and... wait there.
It's actually really hard to make her budge when she's in full shy mode, so the best method to catch her is to wait for her to come out: she'll get hungry eventually. She can even cook, being surprisingly agile and multitasking with all these arms. Obviously, her specialty is seafood.

As is customary here in Sinnoh, the battle shall begin with a toss of a coin! With a heads, TMan87 will send out their lead pokemon first - with a tails, S0L1D G0LD will do the same.
And that's heads! Meaning the match will progress as follows!
TMan87 will send out their lead pokemon
S0L1D G0LD will send out their lead pokemon and order
TMan87 will order
Gemini Taurus will ref
And with that... Good luck to everyone! The match will conclude in 60 days from the time of this post if it has not completed otherwise.
