Alright, then! I see how it is. Excalibur and Arcana, come on and show 'em what you've got!

Excalibur
Servine - Male
Ability: Contrary

Arcana
Xatu - Male
Ability: Magic Bounce
Okay, let's see...looks pretty interesting to see what will happen here. Excalibur, we should start of strong, and blast Leaf Storm on Euxceli! Arcana, you keep safe with Light Screen.
Excalibur: Leaf Storm (on Euxceli)
Arcana: Light Screen
/faceboneclub/
That was my fault, Euxceli. Hm...
Okay, Vaeliu, you're at a physical advantage here, so expand on that with Blaze Kick.
Euxceli, Vaeliu took a pretty hard hit in your stead, so I need you to give his health a boost by putting an Aqua Ring around him.
Vaeliu: Blaze Kick @ Excalibur
Euxceli: Aqua Ring around Vaeliu
Well, looks like we'll have to set up some more walls, then! Arcana, go ahead and use Reflect so that we have a dual shield. As for you, Excalibur, I know you'll probably take some damage, so use Giga Drain to drain some energy out of Euxceli!
Arcana: Reflect
Excalibur: Giga Drain @ Euxceli
Ouch, hang in there Excalibur! Here, this might help; Arcana, go ahead and use Skill Swap to give Excalibur Magic Bounce protection from that burn. In the meantime, Excalibur, go ahead and use Giga Drain on Euxceli, once more!
Excalibur: Giga Drain @ Euxceli
Arcana: Skill Swap @ Excalibur
Euxceli, that Servine's going to make things difficult for you, so come on back. Pspaaxtte, take her place.
Pspaaxtte
Pichu - Female
Ability - Static
Vaeliu, wait for the Servine to inevitably go for Pspaaxtte, and when he's focusing something, cut him off with Cross Chop.
Euxceli: Switch --> Pspaaxtte
Vaeliu: Cross Chop @ Excalibur
Ack, rain? That's not good...Arcana, I guess the best we can do is hinder that Pichu as much as possible. Go ahead and use Confuse Ray on her. Excalibur, go ahead and use Glare on Vaeliu. If he's gonna try and slow us down, we'll slow him down tenfold!
Arcana: Confuse Ray @ Pspaaxtte
Excalibur: Glare @ Vaeliu
+1 ATK SP ATK -1 DEF SP DEFOuch, that wasn't too good...hm...Arcana, we'll have to play on offense. And quickly, too; they still have energy to spare. Go ahead and attack Riolu with Psychic, but if he decides to protect himself, go ahead and change that to Shadow Ball on that pesky Pichu. Excalibur, you go ahead and drain that Pichu's health with another Giga Drain. Just in case there's a twist and Pspaaxtte protects itself as well, then use Growth to gain a little attack power.
Arcana: Psychic (on Vaelliu)/Shadow Ball (on Pspaaxtte)
Excalibur: Giga Drain (on Pspaaxtte)/Growth
+1 ATK SP ATK -1 DEF SP DEFOkay, Vaeliu, we need to get rid of this now. Take a moment to try to clear your head of that thing, and go for a Poison Jab on Excalibur (Official's note: Any attempt to immediately get rid of status effects should have a 50% chance of success.) Pspaaxtte, you do the same. Focus yourself to get the confusion out of your head, then go for a Charge Beam to Arcana that may hopefully give you a boost!
Vaeliu: Poison Jab @ Excalibur
Pspaaxtte: Charge Beam @ Arcana
Sweet shot, Arcana! Let's keep it up. If Pspaaxtte is unhitable for any reason, then go in with a Psychic on Vaelliu! Otherwise, set up Light Screen again. As for you, Excalibur, Use Giga Drain again, on Pspaaxtte!
Arcana: Psychic @ Vaelliu/Light Screen
Excalibur: Giga Drain @ Pspaaxtte




















Well, this is getting annoying. Vaeliu, if a Giga Drain comes Euxceli's way, Protect her, but if Ex goes for you, answer with a low sweep. Eu, charge up an Ice Beam against Excalibur.
Vaeliu: Protect Euxceli (immunizes Euxceli to all attacks, Vaeliu is still vulnerable) / Low Sweep @ Excalibur
Euxceli: Ice Beam @ Excalibur
Oh, that's how it's going to be, is it? Very well. Excalibur, you can't hold Vaelliu's onslaught forever...you've got to let loose every piece of strength you've got left! Let's scorch Euxceli down with Solarbeam. Arcana, let's take advantage of the weather and let loose another Heat Wave!
Excalibur: Solarbeam @ Euxceli
Arcana: Heat Wave @ both foes










Urk...this is really not good...Arcana, you've got to play defensively, even though you're paralyzed. Do a quick Sucker Punch on Euxceli, but if Euxceli doesn't attack Excalibur, and Vaelliu attacks instead, then use Protect instead. Excalibur, we're in a tight spot here, so if Euxceli attacks, then use Protect. Otherwise, we'll go try and out loud and proud with a final Solarbeam!
Excalibur: Protect/Solarbeam @ Euxceli
Arcana: Sucker Punch @ Euxceli/Protect










...1...HP...

EUXCELI, WIPE THEM OUT WITH BLIZZARD QOWPREGNAOPISJRPQOIWUER
Vaeliu, use Payback if Arcana goes for you, Swords dance if he doesn't. OR, if Excalibur survives the attack and goes for Euxceli, Protect her.
Euxceli: Blizzard
Vaeliu: Payback @ Arcana / Swords Dance / Protect @ Euxceli










...Darn. That was not our best, admittedly...alright Excalibur, you take a good rest.
Garbage, it's all you!

Garbage
Garbodor - Male
Stench
Now, I know that this might not be the best matchups ever, but we have to try what we can. Garbage, use Thunderbolt on Euxceli, but if that doesn't work, then use Clear Smog on Vaelliu.
Arcana...crud, well, it doesn't look like you'll be doing much. If you could only somehow thaw...if you somehow survive and thaw, then use Giga Drain on Euxceli. Sorry, Arcana, that's all I can do for now...
Garbage: Thunderbolt @ Euxceli/Clear Smog @ Vaelliu
Xatu: Giga Drain @ Euxceli










Vaeliu, we need to be able to outnumber our final opponent, so keeping Euxceli on her feet is priority number 1, so protect her if she's in danger. Otherwise, go for Arcana with Strength. Euxceli, should Vaeliu not be able to go for Arcana or if he somehow doesn't finish the job, hit Arcana with Water Pulse. If it's down to that Garbodor, hit him with the same attack.
Vaeliu: Protect @ Euxceli / Strength @ Arcana
Euxceli: Water Pusle @ Arcana / Garbage






















Okay, time to go all out. Euxceli, while Vae's still hiding in the ground, take advantage of the pouring rain and use surf to wash that Garbodor out. Vaeliu, Euxceli might go down this turn. If that happens, use Retaliate; otherwise, come out of the ground and hit that Garbodor with reversal. This can be turned in our favor yet.
Euxceli: Surf
Vaeliu: Retaliate / Reversal
(Should one pokemon be left on my side at the end of this turn, take note that single battle rules will then apply, and as such each turn will have two commands on both sides.)












That's about all I have the patience for. Euxceli, go in with a Blizzard. Vaeliu, that Sludge Wave is probably going to beat you within an inch of your life, but if you can hang on, use everything you've got and hit that Garbodor with Reversal. If, by some miracle, Euxceli can freeze him with Blizzard, though, don't bother-- just go ahead and take a nap.
Euxceli: Blizzard
Vaeliu: Reversal / Rest
