The conclusion to my adventures with that monotype tournament
So it was decided that out of the Dark/Steel matchup that I would go against the monoSteel team, which is controlled by my buddy Baseddandy (formerly quinlanding) who is perhaps the most qualified trainer in the tournament. Here's how the battle went:

Basically, he was out-predicting me the whole time, I couldn't get my signature magic bounce going, and it was just a slow march to defeat from there. But fortunately, it is a double elimination tournament, so next I went up against my buddy Bingobango next, who was running a monoBug team. Unfortunate typing match up, but here's how that battle went:

It came down to Ham Solo (Reuniclus) versus Petey (Scolipede) and if I had just set up trick room earlier and at the right time, I might have been able to pull it off, but unfortunately that puts me out of the tournament.
Now Bingobango's Bug team gets a second chance against the still undefeated Baseddandy and his steel team.
