Arena description: imagine a dirt arena, with about 6 rocks in it. Very original I know, but I want to keep it simple.
Additional rules: You can only face me if you currently only have unevolved pokemon in your team. I don't want to be challenged by someone with 6 perfectly trained pokemon because I'll get annihilated. I'm a new trainer, and I'd like to face someone else close to my level. No offense, anyone.
Pretty sure I'm just under the wire here in issuing a command. I hope I'm right.... Volkner, I need your assistance! If flop a dop uses a non attacking move at any point, use magnet rise! Otherwise, hit em with a charge beam, followed by a Mega punch, and finish with an electroweb!!
Charge Beam/Magnet Rise ~ Mega Punch/Magnet Rise ~ Electroweb/Magnet Rise

In ASB, you get to order three moves per round. I'm assuming you might have meant to use the same command for all three actions, but if you didn't, feel free to add a couple more.
A gentle wind sprayed the dirt on the soon-to-be battlefield, gritting up the shoes of the two beginning trainers who met for their first battle. And then, suddenly, a wider and taller rush of dust kicked off the ground as an approaching wingbeat stirred the air.
“Ah... don’t mind the Aerodactyl. Just send out your Pokémon and issue your commands. You can start battling as soon as I give the signal.”
Two Pokéballs flew on each side: one to reveal a rather serious-looking Elekid, another releasing a Mudkip that seemed to glow with poise as his trainer spoke. The first battery of moves was called in, and the wave of a flag signaled the beginning of a new ASB battle.

Simply sitting leisurely by one of the rocks, Volkner intently watched his opponent’s move. For that gesture’s benefit, he got a mouthful of purple caustic to the face, seeping through any opening to contaminate his veins. Noting the non-directly offensive moving and wiping it off his face with a swipe of his thick forearm, he proceeded to his own move; sparks flying from the tips of his plug-like horns, he defied gravity with a magnetic force and lifted off the ground, kicking up some dirt as he hovered.
From the air, the Elekid turned to watch his opponent again... And was met with the sight of a great big ol’ yawn. Seems as if he wasn’t the only one bored with the match so far. The awfully contagious visage effortless got to him, and as such, he was yawning in turn without much delay.
Unable to rise even further than he was already floating, Volkner was close to begging his opponent to attack... however, Flop a Dop remained carefree, playing in the dirt and soaking himself, almost as if to ignore the battle at hand. Unable to cope with such a level of boredom, Stryke123’s Pokémon helplessly drifted off to sleep.

-Shadow 11615 commands first next round.
I really could have planned better... And maybe I shouldn't make this a stall battle. But it's too late now.
Ok. FlopDoppy, use The Five Rule Algorithm.
1. Scald until burned.
2. Volkner=Burned=Dig(Down)
3. Underground+statused (self)=Refresh
4. Underground=Chill
5. Volkner=Protect=Hail Scald/Hail~Scald/Hail/Dig(Down)~Scald/Dig(Down)/Refresh/Chill/Hail
Oh wow... This is going so wrong... Well, better see if I can salvage this battle.
Volkner, use Snore! And, yeah. Snore all 3 times. If you happen to wake up during this round, use Facade, and keep using it for as long as you can. So:

Thinking carefully through the latest developments, the trainers issued more commands – be it by whispering them onto sleeping ears, be it by actually jotting down some kind of multiple-step plan. Just as such resumed the battle between the lazily drifting Elekid and the dust-truffled Mudkip.
Just as the slumbering Pokémon seemed like it couldn’t possibly be a threat... it started to snore, which reinforced that idea. Only for a moment, however; in time, the snoring began to intensify, from a bothersome volume to an unnaturally loud rumbling sound with enough intensity to stun. Desperately trying to curb the incessant noise, Flop a Dop spat a blast of boiling hot water straight into his enemy’s peaceful face, hoping that the combination drowning-burning sensation would be enough to make the cacophony end; alas, it continued on and on, leaving the poor Mudkip to abandon the fight for a brief moment, to brace himself and weather the noise for just long enough to regain his senses.
Even when he could finally bear down and focus on the fight again, Flop a Dop suddenly realized he had no idea what to do next. There was some sort of... algorithm? He’d completely his notion of where the plan would be going by that point, and the disconcerting snoring sounds definitely did not help him think of which move he should be using. Light-headed and downcast, he simply let the remainder of the round pass him by.

For once, as he drifted back into the ground, Volkner seemed to sleep peacefully – quietly, one would instantly notice. The soothing silence briefly lifted Flop a Dop’s spirits...
... And yet, as soon as he started to attack again, he was caught perfectly off-guard by another guttural ear-blaster, this time sounding through the very ground and making it appear to shake. For a few moments, the attacking Mudkip could do little more than desperately focus on not losing his footing as the horrific noise stunned him.
The phonetic abuse persisted for the whole round, but Shadow11615’s Pokémon eventually managed to get just used enough to it that he could stick to the plan. Almost praying that he’d finally manage to knock awake that broken amplifier of an opponent, he doused the enemy’s face with scorching hot water yet again and yet again. No reaction; Volkner was, at best, only marginally less bored than earlier.

The end of the previous round amounted to little more than a pause in the constant status of the battle, as the situation of old engine-like snoring and desperate application of hot water continued. Even acquiring a painful, unsightly redness over the whole face did little to placate Volkner’s bottomless tedium.
When it seemed like another round would end in the same status quo, however, things suddenly started to change. The Elekid’s eyes finally sprung open again... even if he still had more of a mind to slack off than fight at that point. His opponent kept the hot water coming just be sure, but that did very little more than reveal a pale red glow on the attack’s mark. However, the sudden motion from attempting to target a now-awake foe caused Flop a Dop’s knightly armor of shining mud crack, coming apart to expose his blue skin once more.
The battling Pokémon eyed each other carefully – anything could happen now as the rhythm of the fight showed signs of changing...

Limbering up from the stupor of the recently awakened, Volkner wasted no more time getting back to action, showing off his superior mobility by making his move much before his opponent could even get set. He dashed forward and leapt, one arm raised. And then, he just remained airborne in that position, having used Magnet Rise once more with a false start. For his flourish, he earned himself another searing rinse from the enemy.
Finally looking alive, the Elekid went ahead with a familiar move; the sparks running across his horns grew brighter and fiercer, until he blasted them away with a jerk of his head. A dangerous electric surge raced for Flop a Dop... Only to harmlessly course around a protective barrier and into the earth below.
The Mudkip's resistance only served to whet his foe's excitement. As soon as the mudfish Pokémon put on a starting dash for his next move, he was suddenly struck by a roaring bolt straight from the apparently mostly clear skies. Fortunately, he had coincidentally been positioned so as to keep the worst of the charge away from most of noteworthy danger zones in his body, but the damage was still plain to see as Flop a Dop struggled to keep his blackened legs in blurring stride until the end of the round.
