Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
As the round begins, both battlers prepare themselves for combat. Faye the Trapinch again burrows into the sand, while Frenzy the Gastly fades into a shadow, disappearing from view.
Reappearing behind Faye, Frenzy uses her speedy nature to unleash a Will-O-Wisp that badly burns Faye! Angered, the Trapinch retaliates with a Crunch, but her burn impedes her ability to inflict damage!
Clearly trying to avoid Faye's gnashing fangs, Frenzy promptly Disables the attack! Wincing from her burn, Faye opens a Tomb of Sand that traps the levitating Gastly!
From within the Sand Tomb, Frenzy fires a Ball of Shadows that seems to strike critically, knocking the poor Trapinch away! Struggling to her feet, Faye manages to leap into the Sand Tomb to Bite Frenzy hard!
As the round closes, both battlers are in trouble! Faye's burn is worsening, while Frenzy, try though he might, still can't free himself from the tomb of sand!

As the sixth round begins, the dusky arena seems somewhat empty at first glance. Upon closer inspection, a shadowy Gastly is trapped in a Tomb of Sand, while an injured Trapinch burrows into the sand. Both battlers seem exhausted, but this battle is far from over!
Managing to levitate up to the brink of the Sand Tomb, Frenzy looks deep into Faye's eyes, inflicting sleep through Hypnosis! The Trapinch tries to fight off her drowsiness, but falls asleep, snoring quietly.
Stealthily, Frenzy uses Dream Eater to feed off the energy of the slumbering Trapinch! However, the attack seems to have awoken Faye! Angered, she hurls herself into a Shadowbite Combo, inflicting massive damage on the Gastly! The combo has knocked Frenzy clear of the Sand Tomb!
Summoning spectral forces, Frenzy unleashes a final Shadow Ball, knocking Faye away! The Trapinch struggles to remain standing, but falls with a quiet sigh, KOed.
Frenzy smiles, chuckling softly, before fading back into the shadows...

"Taking out a Pokémon and bringing another to under 50% is something I can't complain about. Good job, Faye! Now it's time for your successor: Mercutio! Can you fight off the Swarm?"
"Start off strong, but watch out for that Sludge Bomb!"
Payback ~ Air Slash ~ Payback If he uses Sludge Bomb, dodge it with Evasive Agility (but not consecutively).
Let's give this dude a hard time! Shadow Ball - Disable (Payback) - Sludge Bomb (I almost missed those 0 Chills/Recoveries clauses. Curse you Alchemator!!!!!!! I might have stood a chance)
As the round opens, Alchemator sends out a Sewaddle, who puts the "cute" in "Mercutio". The adorable bug is immediately smashed by Stealth Rock, to Frenzy's amusement. Nevertheless, he seems ready to battle...
Frenzy opens with a Shadow Ball, summoning spectral forces to launch a blob of darkness directly at Mercutio! The Sewaddle staggers, then retaliates with a boosted Payback!
Clearly worried about the super effective attack, Frenzy deftly Disables Mercutio's Payback, before getting hit with an Air Slash! The Gastly falls to the ground, scarcely able to summon the energy to continue levitating.
Sensing danger, Mercutio dives behind a pillar in an evasive Agility, dodging an incoming Sludge Bomb. Pleased with himself, the Sewaddle peeks out from behind the pillar, awaiting his orders. Frenzy the Gastly, however, seems exhausted, but nevertheless determined to fight until the end.

As the eighth round begins, Frenzy the Gastly seems exhausted. Mercutio the Sewaddle, however, brightly chirrups in anticipation, ready for the upcoming skirmish.
Frenzy starts things off with a Shadow Ball, knocking Mercutio from his perch on a pillar and into a pile of debris! Angrily spitting gravel, the Sewaddle retaliates with an Air Slash, sending a sharp wind that knocks the Gastly flying! Seems having a body made entirely of air isn't too much of an advantage!
Mercutio, sensing danger, quickly uses his Agility to inch behind another pillar, mere seconds before a Sludge Bomb hits! The pillar dissolves under the assault of acid, falling away to reveal Mercutio, unharmed and pleased with himself.
Frenzy, angered, locks onto the proud Sewaddle and unleashes a final Sludge Bomb that shakes the arena! However, after the smoke clears, it's Frenzy who has fallen! The Gastly has fainted from energy exhaustion! Alchemator and his adorable Sewaddle win!
