That would probably be something we should discuss with @pkken.

"I'll go first," answered Shiranui, stepping up to the challenger's side of the battlefield.
"This battle will be a three-on-three single battle with no time limit," the official recited, "Only the challenger can switch Pokémon. Begin!"
"Go Slaking!"
"Niwatori, I choose you!" Shiranui sent out his Combusken in response to Norman's Slaking.
"Slaking, Yawn!"
"Niwatori, Protect!" Niwatori conjured a green shield that was opaque enough to prevent the Combusken from catching the yawning bug while Slaking let off a big yawn that was ineffective.
"Niwatori, Focus Blast!" Shiranui knew why Norman didn't make a call that time as Slaking's Truant ability would prevent it from making a move. Niwatori focused his mind and unleashed a blast of raw power that struck Slaking for heavy damage.
"Slaking, Slack Off!"
"Niwatori, Focus Punch!" Slaking put its laziness to work to recover some of the damage from the Focus Blast while Niwatori focused his mind to get ready for a powerful attack. Slaking not moving due to its ability gave Niwatori enough time to charge in and deliver a powerful blow that didn't quite knock Slaking out.
"Slaking, Slack Off!"
"Niwatori, Quick Attack!" The Combusken ran at Slaking before it could recover its health and shoulder checked it into a knockout.
"Slaking, return; go Vigoroth!" Norman switched the knocked-out Slaking and sent its pre-evolution out while Shiranui kept Niwatori out. "Vigoroth, Retaliate!"
"Niwatori, Protect!" The Combusken conjured the green shield just in time as Vigoroth charged and delivered a devastating blow that was repelled by the shield.
"Vigoroth, Encore!"
"Niwatori, return; Manectric, I choose you!" Shiranui switched Niwatori and sent Manectric out, causing Vigoroth's Encore to fail.
"Vigoroth, Fury Swipes!"
"Manectric, Thunder! Mega Ring activate!" Shiranui activated the keystone on his Mega Ring and Manectric was enveloped in an orb of energy. The orb shattered to reveal Mega Manectric, who proceeded to conjure a storm cloud over the battlefield. Vigoroth was struck by lightning for heavy damage. Vigoroth charged at Manectric and delivered five quick slashes with its claws that collectively did a lot of damage.
"Vigoroth, Endure!"
"Manectric, Electric Terrain!" Vigoroth braced itself for another attack, but Manectric was having none of it as she electrified the battlefield.
"Vigoroth, Reversal!"
"Manectric, Discharge!" Manectric zapped Vigoroth into a knockout, leaving the air smelling of ozone.
"Vigoroth, return; go Slaking!" Norman switched the downed Vigoroth for the very Slaking that Max was brushing earlier.
"Another Slaking?" asked Shiranui, "This will be a cinch!"
"This one is more experienced in battle," rebutted Norman.
"Manectric, return; Yoto, I choose you!" Shiranui returned his Manectric and Yoto came out from Shiranui's back, ready for battle.
"Slaking, Retaliate!"
"That won't work!" said Shiranui, "Yoto, Sacred Sword!" Slaking tried to deal a devastating blow, but the attack phased right through Yoto. Yoto changed to his Blade Forme and performed a sword technique that only his evolution line and a fabled quartet of legendaries knew of. Slaking received a lot of damage from the attack.
"Yoto, give that Slaking another one!" The Aegislash slashed Slaking and left it all but knocked out.
"So that thing is a Ghost type," stated Norman, "I have just the strategy to deal with those. Slaking, Feint Attack!"
"Yoto, King's Shield!" Yoto changed back into his Shield Forme as Slaking disappeared from sight in a burst of activity. Yoto saw Slaking reappear and promptly used his shield to block the blow, the impact resulting in a loud clang. Slaking's Attack stat fell harshly from the recoil of the blow.
"Now, finish it off with Hyper Beam!" Because of Truant, Slaking was a sitting Psyduck as Yoto changed to his Blade Forme again and fired a powerful beam of energy from his serrated tip. Slaking was blasted and was without a doubt knocked out from the blow.
"For showing me excellent skills in battle as well as an exceptional bond with your Pokémon, I'm awarding you the Balance Badge!" Norman congratulated.
"Thanks, Norman," replied Shiranui.
"This battle will be a three-on-three single battle with no time limit," the official recited, "Only the challenger can switch Pokémon. Begin!"

"Thanks, Norman," replied Shiranui.
What normally happens is Tate and Liza conducts double battles with a Lunatone and Solrock. For this one, they'd probably only allow two Pokémon, both at once.
"Hello Munchlax; hello Slaking," Shiranui greeted back while digesting what Max was saying, "Both Liam and I are also in the local Contest circuit."
Shiranui was not surprised in the least to see those Pokémon sleeping as Slaking was stated to be the laziest and Munchlax was a pre-evolution of a sleeper. "Hello, is Norman around?" he inquired, "We're here to challenge the gym."
Shiranui nodded and left the Pokémon Centre.
"We also discussed what Norman may be like in battle," added Shiranui.
Shiranui got his party ready as well. Of particular note was the Aegislash on his back—he had picked Yoto as heavy artillery.
"Consider the Pokémon he may throw at us," Shiranui continued, looking through his Pokédex and cross-referencing Normal-type Hoenn-native Pokémon, "He'll likely have us face any of these three." He showed Liam the entries of the Slakoth evolution line, based on proximity to the gym.
"Slakoth, the Slacker Pokémon. Slakoth's heart beats just once a minute. Whatever happens, it is content to loaf around motionless. It is rare to see this Pokémon in motion."
"Vigoroth, the Wild Monkey Pokémon and the evolved form of Slakoth. Its stress level rises if it cannot keep moving constantly. Too much stress makes it feel sick."
"Slaking, the Lazy Pokémon and the evolved form of Vigoroth. It is the world's most slothful Pokémon. However, it can exert horrifying power by releasing pent-up energy all at once."

"Maybe so, but be careful," warned Shiranui, "Norman, I'm sure, is well aware of that."
