Orb vs Culise
(Mega Spoiler: I lost)

Edit: Orb(W) vs Bluerobin(L)

[Urist Imiknorris]

It's bugging me that there are no gen 6 avatars on PS.

[Bluerobin]

Alrighty, so there are only two battles left to be done in round 1, Broken v Orb and Broken v Culise.

With that, I'm going to get the Recruiter team together and get round 2 underway. In round 2 we travel from Einpointe to Zwo Cliffs. You get:
1) One more Pokemon, from one of the routes in this post. Make sure you write which route you took, it'll be useful information for yourself later.
2) Your Pokemon level up to 25 and evolve if possible. Any Pokemon that evolve in a way other than leveling can also evolve at this point. Staryu -> Starmie is an example, although it may be a bad idea in that case because Starmie doesn't really learn new moves after evolving.
3) Your Pokemon have 152 EVs invested. These can only be moved by using a Custom Pass, so put them where you'll want them.
4) One more item. This can be any item except a mega stone.

After battling the Recruiter you'll get your first Custom Passes, so I'd recommend waiting until then before you start battling each other. I'll be on Showdown getting my team set up in the next few minutes. Good luck!

Good job to the two who have won so far! The Recruiter team is independent of my own, so yes after you battle it, you still battle my normal team. The goal with the Recruiter is to have a battle that can be a challenge, but probably isn't as long as your team is somewhat strong. So far it seems to be doing that pretty well.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Trust me, you don't want to fight the original version.

[Bluerobin]

Turns out Diggersby and Cinccino can both pack a punch, even at level 25.

Edit: Ok, I'm off for lunch, I'll be back in a bit.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Me v. Urist Win.

I have no idea what I was thinking turns 2 and 4.

[Culise]

Turns out Diggersby and Cinccino can both pack a punch, even at level 25.

Edit: Ok, I'm off for lunch, I'll be back in a bit.

Considering I'm seriously considering both for my main team, I'd think so.  I've swept (very poorly built, but still) legendary teams with a Banded Cinccino before. ^_^

Round 1: Orb(W) vs Broken

[Bluerobin]

Spoiler: Headed down Route 1 (click to show/hide)

"Alright Thingamajig, that was a fun warmup, it looks like the others chose some good Pokemon, too! Which route do you think we should take to Zwo Cliffs?
"Beep. Beebeeboop boop. Bzzzzz."
"Hmm, you're probably right, it doesn't really matter yet." Robin checks the ferry schedule. "It looks like we could make the ferry if we went down Route 1, so let's go that way.

A couple hours later, Robin and Thingamajig get off the ferry refreshed from the sea breeze, and see a farmer posting a sign on a bulletin board that reads "Free Flaafy to good home."
"A free Flaafy? Why are you giving away your Pokemon?"
"Unfortunately she's learned a move that electrifies everything and it's gotten a little more painful than normal. She should make a good battler, but she's no good for wool anymore."
"A good battler, eh? Can I meet her?"

"Flaaaaaaaaf."

I'm going to spoiler away my little RP posts to hide my choices. You can look if you want, but I guess the sportsmanlike thing to do would be not to? *shrug* Anyway, I'll be on for a few more hours, both with the Recruiter team and my own.
