Well, the total number of turns in the battle were 14, so this is how it went down:

Smoked went with Serperior and I went with Garchomp. His first move was Leech Seed and mine was Swords Dance, which boosted Garchomp's attack stat by 3 levels, and Garchomp felt the first effect of Leech Seed. Serperior then used Coil to boost his stats, but I started the Outrage onslaught.

Serperior was the first to fall, OHKO. He then went with Lucario, being a Steel type, Dragon moves are not very effective, but it was to no avail since Outrage was again OHKO, though Garchomp got confused from this Outrage. Haxorus was next, and even with the confusion, Garchomp was able to pull out another Outrage. Simipour came next and suffered the same fate.

Four of Smoked pokemon were down, and he went with Conkeldurr as his fifth. At this moment, it was all a matter of my Garchomp being able to overcome it's confusion. Unfortunately this was not the case, and my next Outrage hit Garchomp and made him lose 80 HP, coupled with the Leech Seed effect. This happened twice in a row, all the while Smoked boosted Conkeldurr with Bulk Up twice, boosting it's defense by two levels.
By the time Garchomp snapped out of confusion, Outrage wasn't enough to OHKO Conkeldurr, and with only 47 HP left, it was easy prey for an Hammer Arm.

My second pokemon was Salamence and immediately I used Fly and that was all for Conkeldurr. Darmanitan was his last pokemon, so I went with the Fly routine again. It was not enough to OHKO Darmanitan though, so I got cocky (a mistake I won't do again) and used Dragon Dance (I was planning to Dragon Claw as my last move instead of another fly) and he used Flare Blitz, which was boosted by a Fire Gem and was enough to kill Salamence.

Lastly, I pulled out Kingdra and a single Scald was all that took to down a very weakened Darmanitan, and that was the end of the battle.
