Let's go Envy! This should be fun for you, fighting a fighting-type.

Let's start off by Taunting him right off the bat so he can't buff his stats or debuff yours or anything like that. If he tries to Protect against it, then use Nasty Plot that turn. Next, I want you to Psychic him if he's already Taunted. If he's not Taunted yet, then just Taunt him again. Lastly, I want you to use Psychic again, and if he's still not Taunted, then keep Taunting him until he gets the idea.

Taunt/Nasty Plot ~ Psychic/Taunt ~ Psychic/Taunt
 
She seems pretty intent on Taunting you, Oscar. Well, if we can't open this match on a civil note, we might as well kick her teeth in. Listen to what she's got to say and then lay down some Payback. And just in case you don't think the score's quite settled, keep laying it on her until you work off your little hissy fit.

Both trainers and referee were unimpressed when they saw the arena where their battle was to take place. The trees weren’t particularly tall, the grass wasn’t particularly green, and the sky was overcast. Mawile and Sangfroidish released their Pokemon nonchalantly, looking around for any signs of excitement. The referee gave his whistle a lackluster tweet. There was really only one word to describe the arena: bearren.

Fantastic puns aside, Envy the Misdreavus acted first. She made a point of scanning the arena as if looking for her opponent. When she laid her eyes upon Oscar, she burst into cackling laughter. At first, the Riolu was confused, and he made a representative face at his opponent that only made her laugh harder. He began to whirl around, trying to find the source of her amusement. Was it his ears? His tail? His forearm…bumps? The display sent Envy into a fit. Tears started to stream down her face as her laugh became a shriek. Oscar turned back to face her with a stony look on his face, tired of her shenanigans. Envy tried to contain her giggles with this, but her face betrayed the hidden smile. Laughter muffled, she tried to compose herself.

Oscar, infuriated by the lack of respect shown by his opponent, took no issue with inflicting some pain in response. Charging forward he channelled his new anger into a powerful blow. His right paw began to glow with a dark aura as he advanced. Once close enough to Envy, he jumped in the air a bit to get nice and personal with her floating form. With that, he gave Envy a nasty right hook, one that sent her spinning away through the air away from Oscar. When she came to rest, she was no longer chortling about Oscar’s perceived weakness. She looked much more serious, aware that her opponent was no pushover.

If that was how he was going to play, Envy saw no reason to hold him back. In response, she used an aura of her own to lift him into the air, a purple one to contrast the black he had used against her. Oscar’s stomach rolled a bit as he was lifted into the air against his free will, but he tried to keep his composure. This became much more difficult once Envy began to toss him around telekinetically. She threw him into one tree, which rained needles on him as a result, and another that poked him with its knobbly branches. To finish the attack, she brought him high in the air and simply released him, letting him fall to the ground hard. Oscar’s rage continued to fuel him however, so he spent no time whining on the earth. He picked himself up, not bothering to brush off the dust, and went charging back at Envy again. This time, he gave her a taste of his left paw, choosing instead to chop down on the top of her head. She too was pushed towards the ground hard, but she was able to recover and float up to a comfortable height once more.

With both Pokemn now seething, there was little mercy shown. Envy again wrapped Oscar in a psychic coat, this time lifting him and spinning him at the same time to really nauseate him. From there, she threw him back against the bark of a tree, and rubbed him against it, the painful friction causing Oscar to squeal. With delight, she saw a black bear appear from behind a tree a few metres away, and threw Oscar at him. The Riolu saw it coming and tried to find a way to avoid angering the creature by making his body as small as possible. The blue and black cannonball hit the mammal, causing Oscar to groan. In response, the bear merely looked down in confusion at Oscar, now released from Envy’s control, lying in the fetal position on the grass. The animal was unfazed, and it moved along on its way. Oscar, his temper now starting to dissipate, jogged back through the tree roots, this time shrouding his right leg in a malevolent aura. Approaching Envy he leapt into the air and delivered a ferocious jump kick into the side of her face. Again she was thrust backwards, this time coming to a rest with a look of bitter resentment. She ached. Oscar landed gracefully, and as he backed off a bit he started to feel his head clear for the first time since the start of the battle.

Keep up the Paybacks, unless she waits you out or puts up a Trick Room, in which case go with a Crunch. If you're Tormented ignore that and use Crunch, Payback, Crunch. If she's protecting, go with Work Up.

Payback/Crunch/Work Up x3
 
So since I just now realized that I can command you to float higher up, let's do that to start off! Envy, you should float high up enough so that he can't bite at you or punch you. Stay up there for as long as you can. Next, let's go with a nice Trick Room to make his Paybacks ineffective and reverse the command order again. Then let's just Psychic him twice and throw him into a few more trees for good measure!

Envy took no time in getting herself out of the way of future pain. Before Oscar could even think about attacking, she began to lift herself higher and higher into the air. Soon she was about level with the foliage of the trees around her. Oscar did realize fairly quickly what was happening, and therefore rushed to at least get one attack in before Envy was entirely out of his reach. Alas, it was a fruitless endeavor. He sprinted forward and took a titanic leap towards envy, his right paw, engulfed in a shadowy aura, stretching high above. He passed within an inch of the rising Misdreavus, who cackled with glee to see that she was now safe. From there she let out a long, drawn out, and ominous howl. At first, nothing seemed a miss, but soon eyebrows were raised as the bear Oscar had crashed into during the round prior moved through the foliage again…backwards. The ref checked his watch, the second hand now ticking backwards. Besides the strange temporal effects, nothing much changed for the Pokemon as time began to travel upstream.

Oscar discovered that with this new time shift, his previously quicker opponent was now left to blunder as he acted. It was a great relief, and meant he could have another shot at reaching Envy, who still hung above the battlefield. He darted forward, more dark energy flooding out of him, this time covering his teeth in shade. Like a Growlithe trying to catch a Frisbee, he launched himself skyward mouth first, his jowls passing within a hair’s breadth of the high-flying Misdreavus. Envy smiled again, happy with how well her elusive tactics were paying off. Now, it was time to return the favor for those merciless blows she had taken in the first round. Oscar knew what was coming when he felt himself being lifted into the air. As a result, he tried to let his body hang limp to avoid any serious damage. There was little he could do. Envy had her way with the rag doll again, throwing him every which way. Against an oak, through a few bushes, finally dropped on a heap of gravel that dug into his back. He picked himself up gingerly. The tables had certainly started to turn.

Oscar was smart enough to know when the jig was up; he couldn’t hit Envy, at least with a physical move. Instead, he decided to hype himself up for when the battle returned to Earth. He began to stretch his muscles out and mutter to himself words of encouragement. As he dropped to the ground and began to furiously pump out push ups he continued the vocal coaching. The taunting he had endured earlier was a long-ago memory, he was now fully confident in his abilities. Having broken a small sweat he stood again, ready to tackle anything, as long as it was within his reach. Coincidentally, he would be lifted within Envy’s reach. The Misdreavus lifted Oscar to her eye level, stuck a tongue out at him, and then used her psychic powers to launch him even higher. Oscar began to panic as he soon saw the tops of trees. Scrambling around in his mystical prison, he pleaded to Envy below, who still grinned up at him. Finally having enough of Oscar’s terror, she released her hold. With no aura around him, he plummeted back to the turf, where he landed quite hard. Envy shook her head as he brought himself to his knees lethargically. She was hardly working at all.

riolu has so many non-contact moves, it's amazing

Okay Oscar, let's drag her right back down to our level by using Copycat on her own Psychic. Toss her around and beat the snot out of her, but first and foremost get her reasonably earthbound again. Then break out the Crunches. If she protects on the first action or you fail to bring her down to you for any other reason, use a Magnet Rise for your second attack and try to go up to her instead. If you can reach her but not hit her (e.g. she's protecting), Bulk Up; Crunch away at any substitutes she tries to bring up, though.

Copycat ~ Crunch/Magnet Rise/Bulk Up ~ Crunch/Bulk Up
 
Let's start off with a Torment to prevent him from using those Crunches twice in a row. Then I want you to Psychic him twice, but let's intrude in his mind this time. That should be more fun.

Years of training on mountaintops had made Oscar adept at focusing, no matter what stress he was being put under. Even though he had been traumatized by Envy’s supernatural ruckus, enough close observation meant he know felt he could imitate her perfectly. Tapping into a corner of his brain he hardly used, he tried to emulate the aura he had felt when he had been thrown around so haphazardly. Eyes squeezed close with concentration, he reached out slowly towards Envy, still high above the ground. Though his physical grasp was nowhere close, Envy’s eyes widened as she felt herself being pulled back down towards Oscar. The Riolu opened his eyes with a smirk; he had done it. With a mighty push of psychic energy, he broke through Envy’s resistance and began to throw her about the arena. Jubilantly swinging Envy through the canopy of trees brought Oscar childish delight. It felt incredibly satisfying to master a move type that had so haunted him throughout his battling career. Envy was not having as good of a time. To close, Oscar pulled Envy as close as he could to the ground, warring with her ability. He relented as he felt a drop of sweat freefall off of his brow. He had done his duty; Envy was back on his level.

The Misdreavus had trouble coping with her move being stolen from her. She know fully understood the hell she had been putting through Oscar. Funnily enough, she didn’t feel any remorse. Instead, she only sought to make her revenge much colder. And what better way to start than another round of self-confidence shattering? Though she was audibly much less confident than at the start of the battle, her devilish personality allowed her to convey a lot more cockiness than she actually possessed. Again she began her mouthy assault. Oscar, who had been so pumped up earlier, slowly began to calm down as he felt the words pound against his unnaturally large ears. She berated him for the futility of his attacks, the stupidity of his appearance, and how little chance he had to win the battle. Oscar was a hardened soul, but a bully is not easily shut out.

Alas, as much as she may have taunted, Envy was no much more in reach. Oscar needed no more provocation to sprint forward at his much lower opponent. Again, he opened his maw wide, his smile turning black as midnight. When he reached Envy he caught her wispy form in his teeth and bit down hard. Envy moaned as his canines sunk deep into her spectral form. Oscar tore her around a bit like a chew toy before letting her go, wiping drool from his chin. Envy floated away with a grimace. Looking down, she could see that Oscar’s chomp had left a significant gash on her side. She began to worry that the injury would inhibit her down the road, but for the time being she had work to do.

Locking eyes with Oscar, who was starting to breathe hard, she began to fall back into her own mind. The Riolu was left confused for a second as Envy seemed to be doing nothing but staring at him. The ghost took advantage of this quick moment of obliviousness and quickly rushed into the confines of Oscar’s incredibly organized conscience. Oscar grabbed his head as he felt Envy tampering with his nervous system. A headache was first to come, followed by pains in each of his limbs and all of his bones. Envy was thoroughly flipping every pain switch she could find. Finally, Oscar managed to throw up some walls inside his brain, locking Envy out, at least for the time being. The Misdreavus returned to her aching, blobby body, but kept up the stunt by cackling with glee. To Oscar, she seemed as fresh as when the battle had begun.

Oscar inspected the impressive bite-marks he had left on Envy’s form. They looked as if they should be causing her pain, but Envy kept making him think otherwise. Maybe physical injuries worked differently for ghosts? He briefly considered running back to bite her again, but dismissed it quickly. Clearly, he had to change his plans. Unsure of what else to do, he went with the only other move he had been commanded to perform. Again, he dove into an intense workout routine. Squats, sit-ups, and burpees were all a part of his repertoire as he worked every one of his muscles. He could feel his muscles stretching and flexing as he worked, the exercises becoming simpler as he broke into a sweat. Before his eyes, his own muscles were becoming stronger in a matter of minutes. Even Envy could see the results. When he stopped, his arms seemed buffer, the veins in his legs standing out. No longer a scrawny baby Pokemon, his physique was nothing to look down upon. Luckily for Envy, she didn’t care about his macho qualities at that moment. Encountering less resistance this time with Oscar busy admiring his toned figure, she again dived into his mind, her wraithlike giggle playing on repeat inside his head as she brought him to his knees.

If he tries to boost his stats at any time, I want you to Snatch it away from him because he's going to get KO'd (or at least close to it) anyway. Also, if he tries to Protect himself or you otherwise can't attack him, I want you to use a Nasty Plot to make your attacks hurt more. Other than that, just Psychic him and infiltrate his brain again.

Snatch/Nasty Plot/Psychic x3
 
Mrg. I would tell you to Double Team to hopefully buy a few actions but I'm guessing if she's not trying to fling you around that's not going to work because clones don't have minds to infiltrate. Bah.

Start with a Screech, and see if you can make it break her concentration enough to interfere with her Psychic. If not, at least we have a few extra Defense drops for when we Crunch on her face for the rest of the round. Crunch x3 would probably be safer than trying this contrived bs, but who cares movespam is boring. ESPECIALLY PSYCHIC

Oscar, still faced with a smirking opponent, was utterly aggravated. He heard his trainer’s commands, and they floated through his mind, but the first move he was asked to perform came more as a result of his own emotional state. Channelling his anger up through his gullet he let out a vicious scream, cutting through the tranquil forest. Birds panicked and abandoned their branches, while bears lethargically raised their heads in the direction of the noise, still quite uninterested in the affair. Envy was also affected. Even for a Pokemon familiar with screeching and general tomfoolery, the noise caused her to flinch and turn away. In the moment, she rued her lack of ears to cover and hands to cover them with. Oscar let all of his breath go into the howl, meaning it lasted a solid twenty seconds. By the end, he was gasping for air, while Envy was shaking herself, trying to nab her focus back.

Still frazzled, Envy took solace in abandoning the physical world for a moment, descending into her mischievous mind. Oscar, saw it coming, but as tired as he was, there was nothing he could do to halt the onslaught. His hands jumped straight to his temples as he felt the mental invasion begin. To him, he felt as if his brain was twisting and contorting, rattling up against the sides of his skull. Shaking with pain, he begged from within his mind, pleaded for Envy to stop. Eventually, she acquiesced, but not before leaving Oscar a shell of his former fiery self.

His vision blurring slightly, Oscar ran forward, still feeding off of his anger to push his calves to their limit. He opened his mouth and saliva began to drip down to the ground, Oscar having abandoned any sense of decency when facing his opponent. With spit and malign energy coating his teeth he dug deep into Envy’s ectoplasmic form. Though nearly barbaric in his current state, enough conscious thought had been processed for Oscar to know that he still wanted to aim for the gash in Envy’s side. The Misdreavus let out a whine that compared adequately with Oscar’s scream from earlier. The combination of how unnerved Envy still was, her wound, Oscar’s anger, and the Riolu’s hardworking muscles meant the bite was excruciating. As Oscar released Envy floated closer to the ground, starting to wane. She did not relent, and before Oscar had completely backed off she broke into his conscious again, stabbing his cerebrum with intangible needles.

Oscar faced her again slowly. He was almost in tears. He couldn’t even feel his arms. Finding some last motivation within he loped forward, teeth bared again. Another Crunch saw Envy feel the waterworks start herself, but she kept her composure, realizing the end was near. As Oscar let Envy go, she dove back into his brain, encountering no more resistance. She delved deeper and deeper until finally she found a small switch at the very core of his thoughts. Understanding what it represented, and feeling a wave of relief, she flicked it, and Oscar finally fell to the ground, unconscious.

Yeah, didn't really think that'd work but hey, nothing ventured! I'll send out Quelana next.

All we really need to do is Thief and she's outta here, but we only have one action to get it off before Trick Room goes away so that makes things a little hairy if she protects. Put up a 10% Substitute if she does.

After that, just keep trying Thief until you hit. If she doesn't protect on the first action and somehow isn't dead, and she protects on some other action... you don't seem to have any stat-raising moves, so just Chill.

Status: Sniffing the air absentmindedly.

Sangforidish recalled his fallen warrior, spending little time dwelling over the loss. Rather, he grabbed another Pokeball off of his belt. From out of it popped a cream-coloured creature with humongous ears. The Fennekin, Quelana, landed gracefully on her feet and quickly took notes on her surroundings. Her arena was simple enough, a calm forest with little else in sight. Across from her was an amorphous being, floating just barely above the ground and covered in nasty-looking bite marks. Quelana felt confident.

Veiled by a dark energy similar to that that had made Oscar’s earlier bites so painful, Quelana scurried forwards, lively and bright in contrast to the aura that surrounded her. The Fennekin had her eyes trained on a shimmering jewel that rested in Envy’s fluctuating “hair”, well within reach thanks to Envy’s meagre levitation. Quelana picked up speed as she neared Envy, sure that one such blow would be enough to knock down her enemy. Tossing herself at the Misdreavus, she extended her paws towards the Dusk Stone that peered out like a third eye. Just before Quelana made contact, a blue light began to emanate from Envy, her eyes shut tight. Quelana’s body crashed into Envy, the Fennekin stretching out her paws and grabbing the gem as both Pokemon tumbled towards the ground. Feeling her back feet touch the ground, Quelana took the Dusk Stone and backed away. Shocked, she saw Envy continue to float mere centimetres from the earth, the blue aura dissipating. She had completely abandoned her façade, no hints of a smile were left on her face. Quelana tucked her new item into her ear fluff, amazed at the resilience displayed.

Now, as the flow of time turned back in the Misdreavus’s favour, it was time Envy’s swansong. Knowing the end was so very close, she let out one last sinister call. As the sound died out, she finally fell down to the soil, eyes closed. At first, Quelana assumed her attack from a few seconds prior had delivered the final blow, albeit delayed. However, from Envy’s body came a wispy black fluid, like a black smoke that wafted through the air towards Quelana. Unsure, of what to expect, the Fennekin backed up slowly. This was futile, as the obsidian cloud started to suffocate Quelana, binding her entire body. She instinctually held her breath, trying to wait out the gas which smelled of death. Finally, Quelana had to breathe, and with a huge gulp, the vapor flowed into her mouth and lungs. At first Quelana did not feel many ill effects, only a terrible acrid taste upon her tongue. And yet, within seconds, she was nearly on the ground, a terrible feeling of nausea setting in. Gasping for regular air, Quelana felt no better. Her mind was affected as well, her will to fight from earlier dashed. Slowly, she looked up, trembling at the thought of having to fight a rested opponent.

Ah shit I forgot the turn order would switch

First things first, we need to get those Memento'd stats out of here. Use Psych Up, and try it multiple times if you fail. Then use Flame Charge for the rest of the round, unless she protects or you're Tormented, in which case use Howl. (you do have one stat boosting move after all :D)

Psych Up ~ Flame Charge/Psych Up/Howl ~ Flame Charge/Psych Up/Howl
