Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Taunt ~ Earth Power+Earth Power Combo IF (Cyclohm uses Protect), THEN (Chill and use the action in the string Taunt ~ Earth Power that corresponds with the action in which Protect is used), BUT (Yield to this substitution if it would activate again)
Also, combos need to be changed if you can use one to knock out a Pokemon and not have a recharge action. Sounds too much like RBY Hyper Beam mechanics which stopped as soon as GSC.

Knowing he has the advantage, Terrador orders to... wait what? Terrador ordered Agamemnon to Taunt? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard! You know what? No flavor for you!
Have fun getting KO'd by that Dual-Ice Beam combo! It's going to turn that Nidoking of yours into a popsicle! Ha ha, chump!
Nidoking curses his trainer for making him waste his only turn before being obliterated.

You know what's not cool? Not having a decent STAB move. Needless to say, if I where to challenge for real I would not have this difficulty. I guess we just move along as well as we can.
Volt Switch => Charge Beam => Volt Switch IF Bide, use Volt Switch => Double Team (4) => Volt Switch, starting from whichever turn you are up to. IF Double Team, Shock Wave
Oddly enough, it's actually fairly easy to stop you from being a tremendous pain in my ass when going first. And you (Temperantia) thought that I was wasting Nidoking's last moments on Taunt...
Hypnosis ~ Hidden Power (Ice 7) ~ Hypnosis IF (Protect), THEN (Chill and DO NOT push your actions back)

Welcome back, folks! It's another round in this battle! I'm not gonna lie it was pretty boring. First, that wannabe Gym Leader, Terrador, Had his Gengar use Hypnosis to put Athenodoros' Pokemon to sleep. He succeeded (Lightly), along with the unintended inclusion of the audience due to boredom.
After successfully trolling his prey, the Gengar decided to actually attack or something. To bad it was just some weak ass Hidden Power that only lamesauce Pokemon with no real coverage use.
Zeus manages to stay awake through this attack and fires off some Discharge from his cloud-wool-body-thing to try and troll more successfully than Nappa. Luckily, his good friend WTFHAX! was on his side today and the somewhat weak jolt of electricity manages to paralyze his foe (20%).
Continuing the shitty tone of this match, no one does anything this last round. Cyclohm Protects against nothing, while Gengar Chills successfully. Fuck my life, that didn't deserve commentary.

Next Time: The Final Showdown Pt. 3: This Battle is Taking Forever!
I believe this is why Clohm had Taunt. Just for this situation, right here. And damn I wish I had decent STAB moves when we did this.
Substitute (20) ~ Discharge ~ Discharge
IF Taunt, use Double Team (4) and move actions along
IF Torment, use start from A2 or immediately after Torment, whichever comes last, with Charge Beam ~ Dragon Pulse
<Engineer> a snatched substitute takes HP from the snatcher, not the user of substitute
<Afkenodoros> That's what I thought
<Engineer> I tested this on PO once
So I spent a while looking for a way out of this, and then I realised that I have 11 Energy. I also appear not to have much of my movepool at the moment, . This leaves me with only one option.

Zeus and Athenodoros try desperately to KO Gengar, but their Double Meteor attack (What is this, Final Fantasy IV?) is unable to do so.
It looks like Cyclohm has fainted from exhaustion and that the Gym leader hopeful, Terrador has claimed his first victim!

Good game, Athenodoros; the match taught me a fair bit about how to handle my Gym team (should I scrape a victory against Engineer) and was one of the best and closest matches I've ever had.
