Once again, both sides choose to swap their pokemon out for others, and Utilitand the Fidgit finds himself staring down Poseidon the Swampert. Utilitand doesn't seem to like this and U-turns out of there while Swampert Chills out and prepares to make his next move. This move turns out to be an Earthquake, which turns out to be utterly useless due to the seismic dampener purchased earlier in the battle, and even if the seismic dampener broke, Utilitand was quick enough to set up a Reflective barrier that could absorb a good chunk of the earthquake's power. And then Utilitand gets an idea. He calls for an Encore of that move and Poseidon is only too happy to oblige, and he causes another Earthquake, which is once again absorbed by the seismic dampener. And suddenly Utilitand waves goodbye and returns to his pokeball. Now Its_A_Random must choose who to send out in his place.

Giga Drain > Mega Drain > Giga Drain IF Mirror Coat is issued after A1, THEN use Focus Punch on the first instance, Chill on the second instance. IF Protect is issued successfully without transfer past A1, THEN use Chill that action.
As Poncho takes to the stage again, Poseidon fails at making Earthquakes again. Bubs seems to be getting bored of the battle and, while Poncho tries to gain as much vitality as possible with a Giga Drain and a Mega Drain to Poseidon's chest, the concession stand owner begins to shut shop. But all of a sudden, using the last reserves of his energy, Poseidon knocks Poncho flying with a Super Giga Impact! The resulting blow is not quite enough to bring Poncho down though, and Poseidon is too exhausted to continue battling! Bubs decides to remain open until the end of the battle after all, just in case the trainers wish to purchase any more of his stuff. The rain appears to be clearing up too.

Athenodoros automatically sends out Nidhogg the Dragonite. Its_A_Random, state whether you wish to buy any more items. Then it's Atheno's turn to order first.
When Nidhogg comes out to try to win this for his master, Poncho tries to Dodge Nidhogg's incoming ExtremeSpeed attack. Unfortunately, being neither particularly small nor particularly fast, Poncho can't get out of the way and, despite the reflective barrier, Nidhogg's attack is strong enough to knock Poncho out. Could we be seeing a comeback here?

Annoyed at the previous strategy failing, Utilitand conjures up a cloud of Clear Smog that hits all the images of Nidhogg. Three of them disappear, while one is visibly choking! But then the real Nidhogg calls upon the Earth Power in an attempt to stay in the game. He then Dives into the water while Utilitand decides to Chill out. The Fidgit is broken out of this relaxing mood when Nidhogg emerges from the instant pond and slams into him, spraying water on him in the process. Utilitand is impressed by that manoeuvre and calls for an Encore, which Nidhogg rolls a natural 1 on his will save against and he Dives into the instant pond again and performs the same attack again! But now Nidhogg is truly exhausted, and as much as he wants to keep on showing off that trick of his, he only has enough energy to do it one more time.
