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.
Brandon recalled Gatorstrike, thankful for his efforts. Then he looked back to the battlefield. "Scorchstrike, let's go!" The Charizard returned to the field, and Brandon wasted no time giving his orders. "Alright, start with a Flamethrower, then follow up with a Flare Blitz! Finish off with another Flamethrower! If he uses an evasive Agility, then use a Heat Wave to catch him and push your actions back!"
Summary: Flamethrower -> Flare Blitz -> Flamethrower If he uses evasive Agility use Heat Wave and push actions back
Arena: Contact moves cost 1 more energy, +10% Acc on moves.
BEGIN ROUND SEVEN
It seems that Scorchstrike is back for round two! He releases a thin jet of flames, but they are rendered useless by Metagross' protective barrier and fall as mere embers to the floor, which seems to start melting the arena floor again! Scorchstrike is unrelenting, using his natural weight to slam into the Metagross after wreathing himself in hot flames. The Metagross charges his fist with electricity before punching Scorchstrike, dealing more damage on top of the recoil. Scorchstrike goes back to ranged attacking and fires off another flamethrower, but once again, his attack is foiled by the Metagross' protection. The ground becomes even more slippery, though, and it shows no sign of refreezing just yet!

Brandon recalled Scorchstrike yet again, not wanting to risk it against Tyranitar. "Alright, let's go Tuskstrike! The Donphan entered the field, giving a snort at the Tyranitar. "Start with a Toxic to get some residual damage, then nail him with an Earthquake! Finish off with a Bulldoze! If he uses Taunt action 1 then Bulldoze him, and if he sets up a Substitute A1 then go for Earthquake, follow that up with a Bulldoze, then finish off with another Earthquake!"
Summary: Toxic -> Earthquake -> Bulldoze
If he uses Taunt A1 replace that action with Bulldoze
If he uses Substitute A1 actions become Earthquake -> Bulldoze -> Earthquake
EDIT: If it's OK with Kax I'd like to put Leftovers on Donphan. I think it'd be fair since technically Kax should have equipped his Life Orb when he first sent in Tyranitar

BEGIN ROUND EIGHT
The Tyranitar begins, swinging his massive tail around and slamming into Tuskstrike with an imbued elemental force of water. Tuskstrike takes significant damage from the attack but manages to retaliate, spraying lethal toxins over the Tyranitar, who quickly absorbs the poison into his bloodstream. Tuskstrike goes on the offensive, summoning an earthquake that rocks the entire platform. Some of the glacial pillars fall to the ground and break with a crash, making the ground even more slippery and precarious than it was before! Tyranitar picks up one of these pillars and smashes it over Tuskstrike, dealing an immense amount of damage and shattering the pillar; it appears as if crossing the distance to make a contact attack will require more effort than was previously required... Regardless, Tuskstrike continues his seismic assault, never causing the ground below them to cease shaking. More ice comes toppling down, shattering and making it easier to slip. The Tyranitar seems unaffected, though, as he picks up another one of the pillars and breaks it over Tuskstrike, albeit using much energy.
Suddenly, a Soul Fragment appears in front of each of the battlers, both of whom look bruised and battered...

Brandon was mildly annoyed about the constant switching, but at least there were no hazards on the field. He recalled Tuskstrike and sent Raptorstrike back out for the first time since the start of the battle. "Alright Raptorstrike, time to do some damage! First, make a 20 HP Substitute to stop him from statusing you for a while! Then crush him with a Brave Bird, and follow up with an Aerial Ace! If he uses Sleep Powder on you action three and your old Substitute is gone, then set up a 15 HP Substitute to block it!"
Summary: Substitute (20 HP) -> Brave Bird (Soul Fragment) -> Aerial Ace
If he uses Sleep Powder action 3 and you no longer have a Substitute, use Substitute (15 HP)

Staraptor throws up a substitute doll and charges straight into Venusaur twice in rapid succession while all the Venusaur does in return is hurl multiple blobs of poisonous sludge!

Even though Raptorstrike was extremely low on HP, Brandon wanted to save him for later; he knew he could get a strong Close Combat off on Tyranitar before going down, and there was no point in wasting him here. He called him back, and replaced him with Tuskstrike, clearly exhausted but still ready to fight.
"Figured..." Brandon muttered to himself. Tuskstrike couldn't do damage to Metagross once it used Magnet Rise, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try. "Alright Tuskstrike, start off with an Earthquake boosted by that Soul Fragment Raptorstrike passed to you, then follow up with a Bulldoze! Finish off with another Earthquake! If he uses Magnet Rise, replace that action with Stealth Rock and the rest of your actions with Fire Fang, using the Soul Fragment as soon as possible!"
Summary: Earthquake (Soul Fragment) -> Bulldoze -> Earthquake If he uses Magnet Rise replace that action with Stealth Rock and all remaining actions with Fire Fang (Soul Fragment if available)

BEGIN ROUND ELEVEN
Metagross begins levitating into the air and zooms around the arena, avoiding two powerful seismic attacks that Tuskstrike generates. These attacks also seem to have a side effect of shattering even more pillars, making the ground -- you guessed it -- even more slippery. Metagross finishes the round by simply relaxing in its levitating state, while Tuskstrike manages to SLIP!

Brandon sighed. This was going to be a lot more difficult than he had hoped. "Alright Tuskstrike, start with Stealth Rock to help out Raptorstrike and Scorchstrike! Then Counter that Meteor Mash! Finish off with a Fire Fang! If Metagross slips A1 then replace your last action with Earthquake!"

BEGIN ROUND TWELVE
Metagross begins to levitate again but ends up being unable to find purchase on the slippery ice! Tuskstrike takes no mercy and tosses rocks to the corners of the arena, waiting for any opponents to unwittingly enter their range. Metagross recovers more easily and smashes into Tuskstrike; indeed, the force is so great that star-shaped fragments fly out! Tuskstrike bides his time and retaliates when the Metagross isn't looking dealing massive damage! While Metagross ends by recovering some more energy, Tuskstrike attempts to summon an earthquake, but ends up slipping and being unable to concentrate!

BEGIN ROUND THIRTEEN
Tuskstrike charges recklessly at the Metagross, imbuing his tusks with a fiery quality before making a swipe at the heavy supercomputer. Metagross, surprisingly, is still standing after the attack, albeit at extremely low health. It opts to go out with a proverbial bang, freezing two of his metallic limbs and striking Tuskstrike's large snout with them. Tuskstrike barely survives the assault and quickly nibbles on his apple core. Metagross, on the other hand, seems to have exhausted itself!
