Aw, mayonnaise. I knew I should've used that last turn to Recover instead... oh well; Twister, let's get back to that showdown of the Kirleottos! But this time, we'll know for sure who gets the first attack - Use Quick Attack!
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Uh, actually... if I got in the first hit, his should go down before mine... and how do you determine critical hits, anyway? It's different for different attacks, and chances are with Wing Attack, Confusion, and Quick Attack, none of us would get a critical hit throughout the course of the battle. Especially since Josiah's Kirleotto got a critical hit on Teto the turn he fainted; Probability says it's impossible. Well, Probability's exact words were, "NO FREAKING WAY!" but you get the idea.

It's not neccessarily a matter of critical hits or even speed for that matter, although either one could be the deciding factor. For example, my Kirleotto is a higher level than Silver's so that might make mine slightly faster and stronger. Or not, depending on how Opal is doing the stats. Regardless, Quick Attack always goes first but its power is 40 compared to 60 for Wing Attack and Confusion. Also, if either of us actually uses Confusion (unlikely but you never know) there's the chance it'll confuse someone (although it won't be very effective). I think we should just fight this one out. As for critical hits, Opal said awhile back to pick two numbers and roll a D20. If you get one of those numbers it's a critical. That seems to work pretty well for all attacks except those that specifically have a high critical hit rate like Slash in which case (judging from the games) the odds are closer to 50% or so.
So, back to the battle... Ok Kirleotto, let's hope that power wins over speed here. Wing Attack!

Higher level? I didn't think half points counted... your Maripuff sure didn't evolve at 4.5 wins.
Either way, I don't expect that 20 point power difference to do me in, on account of your Kirleotto will still have taken more damage than mine after this! Wing Attack, Twister!

Ah. I didn't know they were gained during the battle... well, then Twister got some experience from when Pupitron fainted, too.
...Wing Attack! Wing Attack! Wing Attack!

Bah, whatever. Next up is Spore! Use Mach Punch!
Ok, so it's a Fighting attack, meaning it's not very effective on Flying OR Psychic, but it'll still do more damage than Spore's only other offensive attack, Absorb (Not very effective on flying + 20 base power = pitiful). Plus, if Twister fainted, his can't last much longer - in fact, I'd say it's impossible for it to still be up after the Critical Hit Spore just landed.

Um, Mach Punch. It's like Quick Attack but Fighting typed. And since I was forced to switch by KO, it'll go first.
