Well, it's not really a weather machine.

The stage itself is simple: Earth. The ground is firm but Pokemon can easily use dig and such moves. There is a pond near that is easily accessible to aquatic Pokemon,

The magic in this stage, however, is the weather. After every two turns, the weather will change between very sunny, raining, hailing, and, somehow, sandstorm.

Any Pokemon is allowed, but be wary of the weather's effects. This one should be fun to ref, also.

The arena for the battle was simple: harsh sunshine, firmly packed ground, weeds sparsely dotting the landscape, and a small pond off to the side for water Pokemon. It was as basic as basic could be – that is, until you spent some time at the site.
A single Pidgey was pecking absently at the ground when two trainers and a referee trudged up to the arena. As the little bird flapped into the sky at the disturbance, clouds abruptly closed in overhead, effectively blocking the sun. After several moments, which the referee took to go over the rules of the battle, the clouds opened and emptied their contents on the battlers, who groaned but readied their Pokeballs anyway. Scyther threw his Pokeball first, the familiar red light taking on the shape of a Stantler. On the opposite side of the stage, RandomTyphoon revealed her choice: a feisty Poochyena named Carls. As if on cue, the downpour lightened and stopped as soon as Carls burst out of her Pokeball.
Stantler immediately glowered at her opponent, lowering her head to show Carls her impressive antlers. The black puppy whined and shied away as Stantler snarled low in her throat.

Stantler wasted no time in glaring at her already cowed opponent. Carls returned the stare bravely, sizing up her opponent and deciding the best place to slam a metallic tail in. The more she looked at the large deer, though, the sleepier she felt… Said deer was swaying slowly back and forth, sending soothing waves of energy through eye contact. Despite her best efforts to stay awake, Carls finds herself swaying in synch with her opponent, eventually collapsing on the ground in a heap of grey and black fur and snoring gently.

Meanwhile, Stantler snorted in amusement. So easy! She sauntered up to the Poochyena, and upon reaching her side, turned in a half circle so she was facing away from her. Then, in an explosive and swift motion that contrasted greatly with her slow, confident trot to the black dog, Stantler lashed out with her powerful hind legs. Both blows connected with a sharp smack sound, and Carls cried out in pain, though she remained asleep.

Immediately after Stantler had executed her Double Kick, a whining wind, coming rapidly closer, made her prick her ears up. She didn’t have long to wonder what it was, though; in a matter of seconds a ferocious sandstorm had descended upon the arena, blowing sand and grit against the battlers’ bodies. The deer hissed softly under her breath while the trainers quickly raised their arms against their eyes in an effort to keep debris out of them.

Despite the howling gales, Stantler was still in a good mood. She retreated slightly from Carls’ sleeping form and sat down on her haunches, regarding the rise and fall of her opponent’s breath with a trace of suspicion. Might as well make sure she doesn’t take too much of a beating… With that thought in mind, Stantler summoned a translucent golden barrier, so pale you could easily see through it. She smirked. Let that puppy come at her all she wanted!

I assumed you meant actions when you said turns. If not, then I’ll change it; if so, then the weather will remain a sandstorm until the next action.

Final notes

This is my first ref, so do tell me if there’s anything wrong.

Edit: Sorry for the edit. I realized I accidentally made Carls take the Sandstorm damage twice; that's been fixed now.

Just use a bunch of signal beams, unless Notory wakes up, then use hypnosis again. I want to make this as painless as possible.
 
Huh?

..not why my Poochyena's named Carls. -.- Different issue.

It's not a big deal, but Pokemon come out in a burst of white light, not red. Don't worry, though, I was confused about this at first also.

Upon hearing her trainer’s commands, Stantler rose to her feet. This wasn’t exactly her idea of a fun battle, but hey, whatever works. She lowered her antlers, pointing them menacingly at Carls, before concentrating and channeling bug-type energy through them. Flashing red and blue lights began to form at the tips, droning and quivering until the large deer had charged the attack as much as she could. The beams shot forward, Stantler’s head snapping back slightly, and the two rays entwined as they hit Carls on the side. The dog whined, shook her head slightly, and settled it back on her paws.

As the lights faded away, the dog began to mutter. Stantler tensed, thinking that she had awakened her, but her eyes remained closed. Slowly she rose to her paws, and, still muttering, began to summon spherical shapes around her body. The orbs kept circling, faster and faster, changing colour as they went, before turning a deep, solid green and shooting into Stantler. While most of the spheres slammed into the deer’s shoulder and flank, two or three hit some sensitive spots on the head, drawing a grunt of pain from her. After completing the attack, Carls collapsed and started snoring again. A little drool escaped from the corner of her mouth and dribbled onto the soil.

Stantler was rather miffed at this. Attacking while sleeping? She must be hacking. Yes, that must be it! It took her a few moments to realize that the discomfort of the sandstorm had dwindled, to be replaced by intensifying rays from the sun. The already humid air heated up a few degrees, causing Carls to pant in her sleep.

The Poochyena didn’t seem to be muttering and firing puny, weird spheres every which direction, and Stantler, taking this as a sign of encouragement, began to charge more bug-type energy in her horns. She took aim and fired, this one nailing Carls’ left shoulder. Just as the attack connected, she stood up, the Signal Beam still biting at her leg, and began to murmur under her breath once more. This time, though, she seemed set on revenge: dark energy fueled by the desire to take vengeance gathered around the Poochyena’s paws and teeth. Stantler backed away slightly, taken aback by the display of hostility, before her opponent was upon her. Relentless clawing and biting ensued, the sting of the wounds made sharper by the bitter aura lacing the blows. Try as she might, Stantler couldn’t fend off her still-sleeping aggressor, so she curled up as best as she could and took the blows. As suddenly as it began, the assault stopped, and Carls fell back down in a heap – right on top of her opponent. The deer grimaced and none too kindly pushed the little puppy off of her.

Carls hit the ground roughly and slid a foot or two before coming to a halt. This time, instead of slumbering on, she lifted her body off of the ground with a cringe. Man, did she feel battered. And since when did she get so bushed? There was no time to ponder about that, though; out of the corner of her eye she saw Stantler start to wave her antlers around in a hypnotic motion. In reply, the Poochyena threw up a translucent green shield. Though the two Pokemon were making eye contact, the psychic pulses that Stantler was sending bounced off of the barrier, and Carls’ only followed the deer’s motions with a mocking expression.

The weather changed to Sunny Day on the 1st action, and remained the same when the 3rd action rolled around. Hey, Mr. Dice said so.

Final notes
RandomTyphoon attacks first next round.
Carls’ first Sleep Talk generated Hidden Power; the second generated Payback.
Carls’ Hidden Power is Grass-type.
Carls’ Hidden Power scored a critical hit.

Oh, and about the red light thing in the first reffing, I coulda sworn that in the anime, Pokemon came out in a red light. But it's been ages (literally) since I've watched it, so I may be wrong. Thanks for pointing that out, anyway.

Before that Rudolph clone decides to attack, use Uproar. Then, an Ice Fang'll fit quite nicely. Finally, Dark Pulse.

Grateful for the opportunity to rest, Stantler folded her legs underneath her and rested her head on the ground. Just as long as Carls didn’t assault her again or anything... As it turned out, the Poochyena decided to do just that. She danced around, pounding her paws on the ground as a terrible wail escaped from her mouth. It was mixed with snarls, roars, and the occasional squeak, producing quite the cacophony. Stantler winced and laid her ears flat against her head, hoping to block out the sound; the volume decreased by a bit, but a thrumming deep within her skull told her the damage had already been done.

Now feeling refreshed after her brief break, Stantler rose to her hooves and gave Carls a hard stare. However, the black dog was too busy trying to create the loudest musical discord in history and didn’t even glance in the deer’s direction. After several seconds of wrestling for the attention of her opponent, Stantler abandoned her fruitless efforts. Despite the fact that her ears were flattened to her head, the chaos pouring from Carls’ little throat pounded against her sensitive eardrums, the thrumming threatening to form into a headache. In fact, Stantler was so irritated that she felt little relief when the brutal rays from the sun were blocked out by grey, almost black clouds. Soon, fat raindrops were striking the ground, quickly forming puddles and turning the soil to mud.

By now, Stantler had had enough of Carls’ screaming. She made a big show of trotting up to the puppy, trying to make every step sound among the cacophony, which was quite a difficult task since the mud kept sucking at her hooves. When she was close enough to the puppy that she could have headbutted the mammal if she stretched out her neck, the deer pointedly turned her back on Carls and lashed out with a rapid one-two kick. The awful din abruptly rose in pitch in response to the attack then resumed its previous octave, continuing for a few more seconds before the Poochyena’s Uproar died away. She shook her head, sending sparkling drops of water everywhere, before blinking in a slightly dazed fashion.

Terrain notes
It’s raining (pretty hard) now, and it will continue until the end of the 1st action next round.

Final notes
Scyther attacks first next round.
Uproar is a continuous attack like Outrage and Thrash; therefore, the other two commands weren’t executed.
And needless to say, Hypnosis failed.
Carls has decided that Stantler isn’t as threatening as she thought she was, so the attack modifier has gone away.
Just in case you’re wondering, I have Chill recover 12% energy.
 
Um, first use Thunder, then follow up with Calm Mind, and finish it with Double Kick.
 
Hmm. Welp, what's done is done. I want to to Dig down, avoid that bolt like the plauge, but don't come up. While that Stanler is meditating, go get some Rest.
Finally, Sleep Talk.

Commands: Dig down ~ Rest (In the tunnel) ~ Sleep Talk

Carls immediately sprang into action, digging away desperately at the firmly packed earth in an attempt to escape the fury of the electrical attack she knew was coming. Turning away from the flying dirt with fastidious distaste, Stantler raised her head to the stormy sky and manipulated the ions within the clouds, letting out a low croon as she did so. As if in reply, a magnificent bolt of lightning shot down from the heavens, letting out an earsplitting crackle as it crashed down on her opponent. The poor Poochyena shrieked in pain, the cry barely audible above the thunder, as the attack immersed her body in a pool of rippling electricity. Even when the lightning faded away, she was left twitching as the high voltage assault wormed deep into her muscles. She found it much harder to move her limbs, but began burrowing with renewed vigour, obviously very interested in avoiding any more intense electrocuting. Above the ground, the downpour showed no signs of letting up, much to the dismay of Stantler. She flicked drops of water off of one ear as she trotted up to the hole Carls had dug, peering inside with interest.

After digging a distance of about five feet, Carls abruptly turned to the right and dug a shallow depression, just big enough for her to huddle inside. She gave a tired sigh before curling up on the ground, falling asleep within minutes. As she slept, her immune system kicked into a frenzy, healing all the bruises and cuts she had accumulated throughout the battle and loosening her muscles locked up by paralysis. However, the energy it took to repair the injuries at such an astonishing rate was immense, and the Poochyena was left panting in her sleep. Near the mouth of the tunnel, Stantler also had her eyes closed, though her purpose was quite different. She concentrated on breathing in a slow, rhythmic beat, pushing out all unnecessary thoughts from her mind and concentrating on the battle alone. Her eyes opened after several moments, her brain feeling energized and her mental prowess enhanced.

In contrast, Carls was still snoring gently at the bottom of her tunnel. Stantler managed to push her head into the tunnel, but it was clear that she wouldn’t get any farther. With a disappointed grunt she retreated from the narrow, wet passageway and paced restlessly around the mouth of the burrow. Unbeknownst to her, Carls had started muttering in her sleep and had risen to her paws. Her fangs dripped with a caustic mixture of toxins and she stumbled halfway up the tunnel before biting down viciously on empty air and collapsing back into a heap of fur.

Terrain notes
The dice roller must really love rain. It’ll keep raining until the 2nd action of next round, which is when the weather will (might) change.

Final notes
RandomTyphoon attacks first next round.
Thunder paralyzed Carls.
Rest undid said paralysis.
Stantler didn’t execute Double Kick because she couldn’t reach Carls.
Sleep Talk generated Poison Fang, which failed because of the distance between the two Pokemon.
 
If it uses some sort of status raising move (even a chill, if that works), use Snatch, otherwise use Calm Mind.

(Oh, and Typh, Rest always lasts two actions. This holds true, even in the games).
