@ Expert Belt

Knock Off --- Dark Pulse --- Dark Pulse
IF Gengar is Biding when you would attack, THEN Taunt on the first instance, Rain Dance the second, and Chill the third, pushing actions back.
IF Gengar is ordered to use Disable, AND Gengar is not Taunted, AND you are not Taunted, THEN use Taunt, pushing actions back.
IF Gengar is ordered to use a sleep-inducing move, AND Gengar is not Taunted, AND you are not Taunted, THEN use Taunt, pushing actions back.

Round 1: It Begins
With Maxim apparently not feeling up to battling, this match begins with Arthur sending out Hollow Queen the fearsome Gengar. AOPSUser is suitably intimidated by her presence and sends out his mighty legend Bruce to face her. Bruce starts out strong and Knocks Off the Queen's Link Cable but she makes him pay for it with a masterful Counter. Bored by such mundane methods of combat she decides to take him on a trip to the land of nightmares... Bruce senses the gathering power and attempts to distract her with a provoking Taunt but fails utterly. He slumps forward as the magic takes hold of him and forces him asleep. The Hollow Queen grins and advances forward to feed on her prey...

Gengar: Sludge Wave x3
If torment is issued this round, then change actions to Sludge Wave~Knock Off~Sludge Wave.
If successful Damaging Evasive move, then Counter.
If the second substitution activates consecutively AND you are Tormented, then use Sludge Catastrophe (Sludge Bomb + Sludge Wave).

If any of these subs or combos are deemed illegal, then please notify me so I can fix them.

 

[AOPSUser]

ordering against a 12 hp taunted gengar shouldn't be too difficult

I hope.

Round 2: A battle of wills and the first to fall...
After her commanding performance in the first round it seemed like the Hollow Queen had a decisive advantage. That all changed when Bruce awoke and savaged the vile spirit with pure mental energy. The Queen quickly returned the favor with a stream of deadly toxins. Again and again they lashed at each other and it seemed as if there could be no victory. Finally however Bruce could take no more of the venom seeping through his body and collapsed, leaving the Hollow Queen battered and exhausted. Will Arthur somehow manage to keep the Hollow Queen in the fight or is she destined to fall shortly after her prey?

Round 3: And so ends the Queen's reign...
With the Hollow Queen clearly on her last legs, AOPSUser's Gardevoir Hera confidently strode right up to her, preparing to finish her off with minimal effort. Even as she unleashed a burst of psychic energy, the Hollow Queen made one final move, striking out suddenly knocking Hera's Expert Belt to the ground. Even as she falls the Hollow Queen takes her toll... A short but potentially important round. Who will Arthur send out next and will they live up to the Hollow Queens high standards?

"All right! It's time for me to bring out the star player for this match! Gimle, show them what you've got!"

Arthur sent out the Metagross, then pushed the Mega Pin (on his hat) to evolve it to Mega Metagross. It looked over the Gardevoir and made a gesture as though challenging it to a fight.

Round 4: Retreat is the better part of valor...
From the very beginning of this round AOPSUser knew he didn't like what he saw. Out of nowhere a behemoth of claw and steel had appeared to challenge Hera. As a creature of fey enchantment, steel was a natural anathema to the Gardevoir and so she planned her speedy retreat. Gimle on the other hand was in no hurry to deal with his opponent and first set up some stealthy rocks, hoping this would pay off and injure opponents in the future. Hera gladly took the opportunity to burn the steel creature for his troubles. She then gathered her energies to escape. Acting quickly Gimle charged into his foe, pounding her with a strike unto a meteor and shredding her with his razor sharp claws. As Hera winked out of existence she had one final card to play, linking her own life energy to her opponents and drawing away a portion.

Although Hera escaped only lightly injured, she spent a great deal of energy to do so. Will this come back to haunt her later?

Round 5: The tables turn...
Gimle had little time to feel frustrated his prey's escape, AOPSUser had seen his opening. Hephaestus hit the field like an eruption, caring little for the pointed stones that dug at his hooves. Gimle quickly raised a shield of light to blunt the onslaught but it did little to deter his fiery foe and only partially diverted the torrent of fire it unleashed. Knowing he couldn't take many hits like that, Gimle sacrificed a portion of his life to absorb the next few blows as he looked for a way to hinder his enemy and escape. Hephaestus threw fire wildly, hitting with some and missing others, a true force of nature. Taking one last action before he escaped, Gimle charged at and around his foe, seemingly everywhere at once. Hephaestus dare not move lest he be hit by the speeding Metagross.

And so the round ends with Gimle much worse for wear while his opponent is still fresh and eager. Will Maxim be able to stop this rampaging inferno or will it crush him under its thundering hooves?

Round 6: When fire meets water.
If Hephaestus was a raging inferno, Wyvern struck like a vengeful tsunami. Wave after wave of water surged from nearby pools against the volcanic beast, dousing his burn flames and perhaps cooling his rage. Rather than strike back at his enemy, Hephaestus decided to weather the storm and set up a more favorable encounter. Shards of rock scatters about the arena and a phantom image of the mighty camel took shape. Finally Hephaestus unleashed a challenging bellow that shook the very earth. It was a call that demanded an answer and Gimle had no choice but to accept...

Wyvern emerges from this encounter completely unscathed and having dealt crippling damage to the powerful mega. AOPSUser however has managed to force Gimle back in. Things are closely contested again, lets see what the future holds...

Round 7: A fiery end...
Gimle grimly marched out to face the mighty beast. Various plans for survival flew through his head but none would work. In the end all that was left for him was to help weaken this foe for his allies.
The earth shook and Hephaestus's projection faded to reveal a steam of fire already racing toward the metagross. It did not turn away from the flames...
