The Smogon Spelling Bee​

Hello and welcome to the Smogon Spelling Bee! In this tournament, the names of your Pokemon will finally matter, or at least the first letters of them. In each round, you will be given a theme and you must build a team using six Pokemon that spell out a word relating to that theme with the first letters of their names. For instance, if the theme was 'household objects', I could build a team using the word 'window' and the Pokemon Wormadam, Infernape, Ninjask, Delcatty, Omastar and Wigglytuff. Note the Pokemon must be in the same order as the word, so I would be required to use Wormadam as my lead. Also, note that plural nouns are illegal. Singular only.

[Jackal]

rofl Jackal is a word for this round.

[JabbaTheGriffin]

toucan??

 

[Venser]

damn, contacted.

 

[Dummy007]

B-Lulz and I never got in contact, so here goes a VM...

EDIT: In the OP, I'm assuming "axotol" was supposed to be "axolotl," which is one letter too long. Also, "whales" is pluralized when plurals are illegal.

 

[BIG loven]

I will not be able to continue in this tournament due to my tight schedule disallowing me to find time to get on Pokemon Online throughout the week. Sorry about that.
