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.
The lucky winners are: Steampowered and Tort! I will add a third item of my choice, which shall remain a mystery. I will, however, say a couple of things about ref-added items:
they will be described as coming from a total stranger in the audience
I choose the item through the RNG, but I will use it to favor whoever would be worse off this round otherwise, to make things more even. Consider it a pity gift.
I will still calculate RNGs for my items, so it's possible my dart will miss or my iron ball won't do anything
That being said, I will ref before the week is done, most likely on Thursday.
Order of Operations: Sparklez-Sheeldon-Bouncy/Tormeldon(speed tie)
My go-goggles are safely on, and now that we're back from that commercial break, it's time to continue our battle! Random just sent out his next Pokemon, Sheeldon the Tynamo! Members of the audience, prepare to throw your items! And... go! First we have a bomb flying through the air, courtesy of Steampowered, that hits Sheeldon! Next, an Iron Ball thrown by a Krillowatt, strikes Bouncy right in the belly! The Marill shrugs it off, though... which is exactly why you don't have a Krillowatt throw your items for you! Another trainer, I think he's a member of a motircycle gang judging by his outfit, teaches us how it's done by nailing Tormeldon with an Iron Ball, confusing him (2 actions) and leaving him stunned.
Sparklez begins the round by hypnotizing the new guy, Sheeldon, into a light sleep! Sheeldon can't do anything due to catching some "Z"s. Everybody else seems to be following Sheeldon's example; Bouncy launches a Hydro Pump that just barely misses, while Tormeldon is still stunned by the iron ball. Yawn. Sparklez' toxic-filled bodily whatevers bother her again, while the sandstorm continues to damage everybody but Tormeldon.
Tormeldon attempts to set up a protective barrier, but he's to messed-up in the head to do a thing and hurts himself trying! The headache he caused himself seems to be critical, in fact. Self-inflicted crits... who knew? Sparklez then goes onto the offensive, hitting Sheeldon with a double whammy of kicks! Sheeldon wakes up, and in a powerful moment of fury, creates a spark within himself and tackles Bouncy full-force! The impact leaves Bouncy with some electricity in his own body, paralyzing him! (20%)Bouncy seems to be going okay, and hits Torlemdon with a waterfall! Bouncy is most certainly in good shape now; that waterfall was a critical hit! Now that sandstorm's pain is felt once again by everybody but Tormeldon, and poor Sparklez feel the pain from that toxic once again!
Sparklez recovers from the toxic pain and attacks Sheeldon with another double kick! The first kick was stricken with critical force, but the second one was just a normal kick. Sheeldon is too tired from his previous attack to do anything, so does nothing. Whoopdey-do... Tormeldon, for a final attack before his own destruction, jumps in the air and makes the ground shake! According to my ASB power meter, that was a Magnitude 5! AKA 9 base power, whatever the hell that means. After an attack like that, Sparklez cannot continue! It also hits Bouncy, but Sheeldon is immune to it, because of his floating powers. Tormeldon closes his eyes, ready to face the inevitable, as Bouncy renders him unable to battle with a final hydro pump. Sandstorm dishes out pain to Bouncy and Sheeldon, who are left staring each other down...
Sandstorm is up for three more rounds.

You the man, Random. Reffing will be done tomorrow, and after that I'll start to get a lot more active during the day, with summer and all. Sorry I'm taking so long, guys ._.
Order of Operations: Trouser Snakes --> Sheeldon --> Shortamus --> Bouncy
Welcome back to the show everybody! During the break, each trainer sent out a new Pokemon to replace the fainted one. Dogfish sent out Trouser Snakes the Beedrill, while Random sent out Shortamus, the Hippowdon! Okay, lucky audience members, time to throw your stuff! It seems Shortamus is getting positive reception, with a sugar-coated Sugar landing right into his mouth! Trouser Snakes, on the other hand, is getting quite a bit of hate; he's the victim of a bomb and a slippery banana peel! Alright, let's start the round!
Trouser Snakes gets things going by throwing a layer of toxic spikes onto Random's side of the field! That'll hurt anyone who Random sends out from here on in! We'll see if he sets another layer later. Shortamus shows the crowd what he's made of with a sand force rock slide! That severely hurt Trouser Snakes, and Bouncy was hit so hard she flinched in pain! Sheeldon charges himself up with static electricity, then tackles Bouncy with all he's got! That did a truckload of damage! This is the part when the sandstorm bothers everybody on the field; I can hear the welps of sand-induced pain.
Fueled by the sugary goodness, Shortamus rushes toward Trouser Snakes and body slams him! The impact leaves the poor Beedrill with 20% paralysis! That doesn't stop Trouser Snakes, who immediately gets up and slices Sheeldon with an X-Scissor! Sheeldon responds to that by continuing this weird damage cycle by hitting Bouncy with a spark! That's surely another critical hit you see here, folks! Bouncy finishes the cycle by unleashing purple bubbles that explode upon hitting Shortamus! But these are no ordinary bubbles, as they contain toxic waters that seep into the Hippowdon's skin! That dude is badly poisoned! The sand gets in everyone's eyes again, except for ground-type Shortamus, but even he's not exempt from harm this round, as his new toxins are causing him more than slight uncomfortably.
Shortamus gets ready to rumple again, with a sand force rock slide! Unfortunately for him, the attack missed both Bouncy and Trouser Snakes! Sheeldon cannot do anything after; he needs to recharge his energy after his immense Spark and his second normal one. Trouser Snakes uses this opportunity to smack Sheeldon around with a Poison Jab! Bouncy's time is almost up, but before falling to the sand around her, the Marill unleashes one final hydro pump on Shortamus! It doesn't do as much as Bouncy hoped, though. The sandstorm strikes again, this time taking Bouncy as a casualty! Shortamus, meanwhile, handles some cramps from his toxins. Shortamus also suffers from his sugar rush ending, leaving him tired and weak for the time being.
Two rounds of Sand left.
Dogfish sends out mon and issues actions
Random issues actions
Spectators use Fling
I ref.
ALSO: I am now keeping track of KO counters at the end of each round. Tormeldon doesn't get any, because he only earned one and that one was used right away to evolve.
Let's go with Short fuse, the Ele....ctabuzz? That's right, it evolved!
Electabuzz [Short Fuse] (M)
Type: Electric - Electric STAB; 50% reduction in paralysis chance from other electrical attacks, perfect accuracy and 30% chance of Protect breaking Thunder during Rain. Superior senses in power plant environments.
Nature: Lonely - Increases ATK ; Decreases DEF
Abilities:
Ability 1: Static - This Pokemon’s body is surrounded by an electric field that has a 30% chance of paralyzing opponents that use contact moves on this Pokemon.
Ability 2: Vital Spirit - This Pokemon has a high vitality and alertness making it immune to sleep induced by other Pokemon. Its normal state of sleeplessness makes it take 1 less damage/action from Ghost Curse. If it is put to sleep by a Pokemon with Mold Breaker it will wake up the next action. [DW]
OK, this is something like my 5th mon, so let's keep it together! Trouser Snakes, let's use Poison Jab on Sheeldon until it dies, swapping targets if Sheeldon dies.
Short Fuse, let's go with Hidden Power Grass ~ Ice Punch ~ Hidden Power Grass on Snortamus (Both HP's are 7 BP)
Oooooh! our turn! *Pansear eats a pie*
no Fernando, you're supposed to throw things at the pokemon, not eat.
*fernando stares at Glacier annoyingly, chucks the Cream pie at Sheeldon, then picks up a bomb*
no fernando, only one item
*fernando goes rage monkey and chases his owner with the bomb*
Oh God! Help!
