My(Articanus's) Team:

Classic sent out Hippowdon.
Articanus sent out Zapdos.
Zapdos is exerting its pressure!
Hippowdon's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
A sandstorm brewed!
Crap! I hate Sand Stream, even though I have a Tyranitar on my team. But I only bring him out to sweep late game, or if the opponent is using some other kind of weather. I assume Hippowdon's going to Stealth Rock, like every other one does, so I thought I'd get the jump on whatever he does.
Zapdos used Baton Pass.
I thought it was safe to assume Hippowdon's either going to Ice Fang or Stealth Rock, so I bring in something that could take both.

Gengar: 94%
Tentacruel: 100% + 1 Layer of Toxic Spikes
I didn't want to do a straight out Thunderbolt: my team is VERY weak to Electivire. I didn't think Tentacruel would stay in either, so I thought I would just smack whatever came in.
Classic switched in Blissey.

Wanna know what's scarier than a CB Heracross with regular poison... a CB Heracross with regular poison BEHIND A SUB! I just went with Close Combat, seeing as I didn't want to miss with Megahorn or Stone Edge(my only other move being Sleep Talk).
Heracross used Close Combat.

Heracross: 31% and useless
Spiritomb: 100%
Ah well, good to know he has something to stop Heracross... problem is, I'm down to 31% and I take 18% every turn. Not to mention Spiritomb's Pressure just ate at my Close Combat. I need to get rid of the Toxic Spikes!

Tentacruel is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
The sandstorm rages.

That couldn't have worked better! Assuming his Blissey was an Aromatherapy version, Classic's Tenacruel is stuck like that, too. I decide to set up a Stealth Rock to help me later.
Forretress used Stealth Rock.
Tentacruel used Toxic Spikes.
Toxic Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
The sandstorm rages.
Forretress: 87% + Stealth Rock

The sandstorm rages.
Forretress: 92%

I'm still at the advantage: Stealth Rock only takes one turn to set up, unlike Toxic Spikes. I thought that Classic would realize this and decided to try for another Zap Cannon. I was hoping he would switch to something not Hippowdon.

The sandstorm rages.
Heracross: 13%

Articanus switched in Forretress.
Pointed stones dug into Forretress.

Articanus switched in Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
Tyranitar used Taunt.
Skarmory fell for the taunt!

Celebi: ~80%

Props
-Everyone did something, on both teams(except Blissey, but no one cares about her)!
--Zapdos for keeping Heracross protected at the beginning with Substitue and the end by finishing off two major Heracross threats.
--Tyranitar for setting up and taking out two pokemon. If I had DDed, it would have been three.
--Vaporeon for keeping the whole team healthy, especially Heracross.
--Heracross for taking out chunks of health and keeping Classic on his toes, though he never did kill anything.
--Gengar for killing Blissey, who would have otherwise walled the majority of my team.
--Forretress for setting up and removing spikes, and for paralyzing a third of Classic's team!
-Classic for the good game. Sorry if I made any misunderstandings.
Slops
-Me for not setting up another DD that could have secured my victory.
-For Heracross's Megahorn missing at THE most crutial moment of the match! It did even out a bit, since my Forretress never missed with Zap Cannon. And I won the speed tie.
-The opponent paralyzing at some crutial moments.

Crap! I hate Sand Stream, even though I have a Tyranitar on my team. But I only bring him out to sweep late game, or if the opponent is using some other kind of weather. I assume Hippowdon's going to Stealth Rock, like every other one does, so I thought I'd get the jump on whatever he does.

Heracross: 31% and useless
Spiritomb: 100%
Ah well, good to know he has something to stop Heracross... problem is, I'm down to 31% and I take 18% every turn. Not to mention Spiritomb's Pressure just ate at my Close Combat. I need to get rid of the Toxic Spikes!
Articanus switched in Forretress.

That couldn't have worked better! Assuming his Blissey was an Aromatherapy version, Classic's Tenacruel is stuck like that, too. I decide to set up a Stealth Rock to help me later.
Forretress used Stealth Rock.
Tentacruel used Toxic Spikes.
Toxic Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
The sandstorm rages.

The sandstorm rages.
Forretress: 92%
Tentacruel: 74%
I'm still at the advantage: Stealth Rock only takes one turn to set up, unlike Toxic Spikes. I thought that Classic would realize this and decided to try for another Zap Cannon. I was hoping he would switch to something not Hippowdon.
Forretress used Zap Cannon.
It's super effective!
Tentacruel lost 21% of its health.

Ouch... Vaporeon needs to lose some weight. I think Heracross can take one Grass Knot, so I think it's relatively safe to bring it in.

That did a little below half of it's leftover health.... I can't kill it, and even if I could, I would die in the preogress, so I'm going to get Vaporeon to set up a Wish.

Articanus switched in Forretress.
Pointed stones dug into Forretress.

Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
Tyranitar used Taunt.
Skarmory fell for the taunt!

Zapdos: -Insert Dead Electric Bird Pun Here-
Celebi: ~80%

See? Celebi's at around 80% damage, too, so all of Zapdos's efforts against the psychic plant are for not! I pray to Chuck Norris(also God) that Heracross is faster.

Hint: Alt+A for conclusion!
Props
-Everyone did something, on both teams(except Blissey, but no one cares about her)!
--Zapdos for keeping Heracross protected at the beginning with Substitue and the end by finishing off two major Heracross threats.
--Tyranitar for setting up and taking out two pokemon. If I had DDed, it would have been three.
--Vaporeon for keeping the whole team healthy, especially Heracross.
--Heracross for taking out chunks of health and keeping Classic on his toes, though he never did kill anything.
--Gengar for killing Blissey, who would have otherwise walled the majority of my team.
--Forretress for setting up and removing spikes, and for paralyzing a third of Classic's team!
-Classic for the good game. Sorry if I made any misunderstandings.
Slops
-Me for not setting up another DD that could have secured my victory.
-For Heracross's Megahorn missing at THE most crutial moment of the match! It did even out a bit, since my Forretress never missed with Zap Cannon. And I won the speed tie.
-The opponent paralyzing at some crutial moments.
