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.
Not that its anyones duty but if you could remind me about the match if I forget I would appreciate it. Desmond Limber up for the ensuing competition. Shadow advised Objection to use Torment to make the competition useless. Desmond Taunt Altaria, make them suffer for taking Gale out! Then cripple the mile with will-o-wisp finish with exacting your Revenge on the mole!
With Cyclohm down, DFrog decided to bring in Kitsunoh, adding a third steel into the mix. Now the fastest, Kitsunoh immediately started by Taunting Altaria. The rude gestures and language outraged Altraia, and all she wanted to do was attack. Excadrill decided to go underground, avoiding anything that happened above ground. He made his way towards Kitsunoh, planning to attack soon. Altaria tried to create a Safeguard, to protect herself and her partner, but she was too angry and the attack failed. Skarmory decided to make her feel even worse, and Tormented her, leaving her available moves very limited.
Kitsunoh, unable to target Excadrill, simply smashed Altaria with a meteor. He summoned a meteor, and the attack crashed into Altaria for massive damage. However, she managed to survive, and tried to recover by singing. However, she was still too mad with Kitsunoh, and could not do anything but attack. Excadrill then suddenly popped up from above the ground, crashing into Kitsunoh. Kitsunoh was sent flying back, and the blow did a lot of damage. Skarmory, who was too tired to attack well, just threw some sand at Altaria.
Excadrill created an Earthquake that shook across the arena. The two fliers again simply watched, but this time the Earthquake hit Kitsunoh, shaking him constantly. All around the ground shook, at Excadrill's command. Altaria took out all the anger she had by summoning her dragon powers, and breathing on Skarmory. The breath cracked through his metal skin, and reached the inside of his body. Skarmory, who was too tired to do anything, just Chilled, and regained some energy so that he could fight some more. Kitsunoh, who had been watching the whole time, suddenly struck Excadrill with immense force, getting revenge for the powerful Earthquake he had created earlier.

Seems our foe has made a flaw his his action choice! Desmond use Fake Out on our mole friend. Immobilising him for the entire round as his actions are assuming he makes it underground! Then Double Ice Fang on Altaria. Fake Out (E) ~ Ice Fang + Ice Fang (A) ~ Cool down
Seems our foe has made another mistake. Due to Torment and his using Dragonbreath in the previous round, his combo that involves Dragonbreath will not succeed. Of course, Skarmory's not in good shape either.
Chill - Roost - Chill
And that makes 1 recovery and 3 chills used by Skarmory.
Kitsunoh suddenly made the next attack with a Fake Out on Excadrill. The sudden attack, that no one was expecting, caused Excadrill to flinch, and be unable to move. Unfortunately, this flinch significantly messed up Excadrill's plan. Altaria released an Ice Beam at Skarmory, and the beam hit Skarmory on his right wing. Skarmory did not mind the attack, and just Chilled. An Altaria could not hurt him!
Then, Kitsunoh began to power up a strong move, planning on striking Altaria soon. Excadrill's trainer had ordered him to Chill underground, but since he wasn't underground, he simply decided to chill on the surface. He was too tried to use the extra energy to go underground. Skarmory, also tired, slowly landed on the ground, and Roosted. However, he tried not to stay too long, wary of another Earthquake Excadrill may create. Then, Kitsunoh lunged at Altaria, and his fangs turned ice cold. He bit into her, and the cold swept through her body. Kitsunoh had hit her weak point, and the immense cold caused her to freeze. The powerful attack she was planning was wasted, as she tried to thaw through the ice.
After the powerful attack, Kitsunoh rested, too tired to do anything. Altaria manged to thaw out, but the time she had spent preparing the attack had tired her. She rested as well. Skarmory also seemed inclined to rest, and he Chilled, as if all the pokemon had taken a short break. Excadrill's trainer still thought he was underground, and ordered him to come back up. Excadrill, confused, just stood there wondering if his trainer was blind. With Excadrill and Altaria at such low health, it seems like Team ODF has an advantage.
Sky Attack (Altaria) - Chill - Mud-Slap (Excadrill)
If, somehow, Altaria is still alive by your third action, change your third action to Sky Attack (Altaria)
Kitsunoh quickly started by covering his fangs in frost. They became ice cold, and ready to bite and something, and kill. Kitsunoh leaped at Altaria, and bit into her body. She fell to the ground, fainted as the cold had swept through her body. Excadrill created an Earthquake, and hit Kitusunoh as Skarmory flew above. He came down expecting to hit Altaria, but she was not there. Excadrill created another Earthquake, before Kitsunoh got revenge, and attacked him. Skarmory just Chilled, and watched his partner kill Excadrill. DFrog was out of the battle, and now Its_A_Random was Team IARL's only hope!

I ref.
Skarmory wouldn't be able to do much damage to this guy, but he could be potentially disruptive.
Tailwind (Skarmory, Kitsunoh) - Taunt (Gliscor) - Chill
If Gliscor uses Taunt on you on action 1, change your actions to Aerial Ace - Peck - Aerial Ace, all against Gliscor obviously.
Arena: All Water-type moves have a 5% chance of poisoning the target
Round 8:
Kitsunoh, afraid of the damage Gliscor could do, immediately burned him so that he could not do as much damage. Gliscor, wanting to take advantage of Skarmory's temper, immediately began to Taunt him, causing him to become extremely mad at Gliscor. Immediately, he flew into the air, and came down so fast that Gliscor never had a chance to escape. However, Gliscor managed to absorb some of the damage because he was very bulky.
Kitsunoh, knowing that Gliscor did not like ice, used his technique of making ice cold to bite into Gliscor. The coldness immediately went through Glisocr's body, and he was barely able to move. He managed to use his tail to create an Earthquake, but it was quite weak. Skarmory pecked at Gliscor, trying to see if there was a hole in his tough skin. Gliscor was just to sturdy.
Kitsunoh used his fangs of ice to hurt Gliscor once more, but this time Gliscor retaliated. He created an Earthquake aimed straight at Kitsunoh, causing him to faint. He did not like the ground at all. Skarmory used his special Aerial Ace move again, but it did not do much.

Random sees DFrog bite the dust, & saw this as a great opportunity to set up & prepare for the final stanza, & the best way, of course was to stall out the Skarmory.
"One down, two to go. Alright Capers, we just need to make the bird run out of energy & we should be all set for a grandstand finish! And because this bird cannot really do anything to us...Now's our chance!" Submerge yourself in the poisoned water & immediately fly back out, potentially erasing your burn & activating Poison Heal > Roost > Chill IF Any action fails for whatever reason, THEN push your actions back one.

Round 9:
With Kitsunoh down, Gliscor felt safe, considering Skarmory was a horrible attacker. He flew down near the pond, and submerged himself in water. Although he took some damage from the water, he manage to soothe the burn he had, making it hurt much less. He felt much more relieved. Additionally, the poison from the water soaked into Gliscor, causing him to become poisoned. Although other pokemon would mind, Gliscor didn't mind because his ability Poison Heal let him heal himself from poison. Skarmory then came down from the sky, with his wings of steel pointing towards Gliscor. They slammed into him for extreme damage, before Skarmory fainted from exhaustion.
