Well it looks like I've got to pull a couple of all-nighters anyway to get my dissertation done in time. Do you want to say 7:30pm EST on Wednesday?

I mean, I was going to be having a rematch no matter who won that semifinal. Going to be honest and say I'm not sure who I'd rather of faced, both you teams scared me.

...that I should add Mons to my repertoire of magic expertise

Going into this tournament, all I was expecting to do was have some fun fighting with actual Pokemon in a friendly environment. To be honest I expected to be knocked out of the running after 1 or 2 rounds. So, onto my lineup.

First off was M-Gardevoir, who I dubbed Gothic Queen. I was going initial expecting to be the one who would wreck the most face. Sadly all she was really good for was throwing off a quick Focus Blast or Will 'o Wisp, though they still proved their worth.

Next was Azumarril, who I dubbed Ocean's Cure. As my only physical attacker, she was able to cut a nice whole in my opponets... If I was able to set her up that is.

Fairy Tail, ah yes Fairy Tail. My Togekiss was able to work her Serene Grace well (I do remember screams of Flinch-hacks from the audience). There were also excellent times when I was able to grab a few nasty plots to continue a solid sweep.

Forth off is Sylveon, who was dubbed Pixie Wolf. She played a swell support sub and occasional wall breaker. My favorite tactic was building up a calm mind and using her Baton Pass to switch into Clefable, who would proceed to reap the opposition.

For some reason My Keys became alive as a Pokemon called Klefki. I mainly used them to set up spikes and status effects with it's prankster ability, and let it suicide there. They were good for what they were being used for.

Rounding off my team was Clefable, of whom I lovingly dubbed Nanoha. She was excellent at making friends with who ever came her way, her Magic Guard ability shrugging off most status effects.

My sub was a whimsicot, named Afro, who I replaced with My Keys when facing ground teams, not that it mattered much. I find it stupid that I didn't give it a grass type move, for example grass knot, but y' win some y' lose some.

So, for those wondering who the hooded man facing them was, that was me, not wanting to be known as a fairy type man. Levy is already laughing at me as is.

Ah, well. At least I can get back to work weeding out the kinks in this team. But, watch out! Next year, I aim to reclaim my rightful place on that bronze trophy!

P.S. Speaking of next year, Des left a suggestion for the next tournament's gimmick at the end of this battle. Does anyone else have any thoughts on what we might do? Personally, I'd love to see a Doubles tourney.

I won't be home until morning for you tomorrow, but I can make time pretty much all of Thursday, or I have the 11-noon block open again on Wednesday.
