Character: Lupa | papacerberus Badge/Gym Leader: Fog/Morty Elite/Regular: REGULAR TEAM Team:POKEMON ROSTER Cerberus (Houndoom, lv 61), Bersih (Smeargle, lv 48), Orthrus (Growlithe, lv 57), Hoa Sen (Vulpix, lv 52), Skoll (Boltund, Lv 41), Kashaf (Hisuian Growlithe, lv 52) Battle Details: (IC date: 9/5) Lupa's just gonna skip right over Whitney. It's fine.
Vs Haunter --Skoll goes in first mostly because he's so fast, and Nuzzle is great for paralysis. After that, Skoll will run around like only an empty-headed dog with endless energy can, and trade off Bite and Crunch until Haunter goes down. --if Skoll needs help, or gets hit by Hypnosis (and Haunter hasn't used Mean Look, in which case Lupa heals), Hoa Sen will come in and continue things with Safeguard and Extrasensory. Maybe a Disable in there if Haunter uses something annoying.
Vs Misdreavus --Hoa Sen comes in if she wasn't already in. She'll use Imprison first! Then Will-O-Wisp. Then she'll fire off a Confuse Ray, and Fire Spin. Then she'll kick off the damage dealing part of things with Flamethrowers. If she gets Mean Look+Perish Song'd she'll absolutely make sure Fire Spin is fresh. (Lupa hasn't figured out that Fire Spin can't trap ghosts, oops) --if Perish Song takes out Hoa Sen but Misdreavus was switched out, Skoll will be sent in and Crunch! as many times as it takes to remove Misdreavus when Morty puts Misdreavus back on the field.
Vs Gengar --Bersih comes out on the field. Not only is Bersih immune to most of Gengar's moves, but he has Crafty Shield sketched (and that will be the first thing he sets up, even if Lupa has to use an Awakening to remove hypnosis). After that Bersih goes to town with Bulldoze. If this is a gen III Gengar with Levitate, Bersih will switch to Swift and Headbutt after using Odor Sleuth! --if Bersih goes down, either Hoa Sen or Skoll will come back in to finish it.
And if those three are having trouble at any point, Lupa will happily send in the higher level puppies to ruin Morty's day. Every single one knows Bite and Crunch, and Cerberus even gets STAB.

Prep: Lupa brings a bunch of revives, and a few other healing items (mostly Berries, but Potions and the like too) for this one, because Steelix at least can hit the weaknesses of most of his team.
Vs Skarmory --Kashaf is sent in! He'll alternate Fire Fangs with Flare Blitzes until he needs to come back out for healing. --Orthrus will spell him, and Leer, tank a hit, Leer etc for a little bit. --Kashaf will be sent back in to finish it! Probably mostly Fire Fangs this time, as it's likely he ran out of PP for Flare Blitz already.
Vs Magnezone --Hoa Sen is here to Will-O-Wisp, Confuse Ray, and Spite a couple moves. She might toss a Flamethrower out if she feels like that's necessary, but set-up is her job this time. --so that Bersih can come in, get Crafty Shield up, and go to town with Bulldoze! --in the likely event that Magnezone gets Magnet Rise out at some point, Hoa Sen will come back in and finish it off with Safeguard and more Flamethrower.
Vs Steelix --This is Cerberus's time to shine! She starts out with her new Will-O-Wisp first, because it's very useful here. Then she'll Mud-Slap, accuracy reduction, yay! And do it again, and again, until she's getting low on HP or Steelix pulls out Magnet Rise (Lupa makes a mental note to himself to find some way of countering that). --Anubis switches in to keep Steelix distracted while Lupa heals Cerberus, and then to fire off a Flare Blitz before she comes back out. --if Steelix is still hitting, Cerberus will Double Team, otherwise it's Laser Focused Flamethrowers until it's over. Maybe some Flame Charge if she's running low on PP
----if things are not going well (with Steelix or any of the others), the other puppies will totally swap in to keep setting things on fire (or Bulldoze/Headbutt in Bersih's case) and give Lupa time to heal.
Also, the punchline is he doesn't even know that Jasmine isn't actually the next gym leader in sequence...
