Right. This is my first attempt at a warstory on a battle that I though was fun! Not only the battle itself, but getting there was fun. The guy I’m fighting in this did his own mini-tournament on the Smogon Server. 4 people joined up in it, who’s names elude me at this point… Sorry guys… Anywho, rilari82 and I won our respective matches and were up to facing each other. The final matchup. Adrenaline levels rising, my Red Bull from earlier kicking in. This is the story:
As usual, rilari82’s team won’t be shown until the end. I didn’t know, so you won’t either. Hahaha.
Log is in bold, my comments are normal, all Leftovers and Sandstorm stuff is left in.

Seth Vilo sent out Fusion (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
rilari82 sent out FightThePOWA (lvl 100 Breloom ?).

- 100%
- 100%
Righto. My Heatran against a Breloom. It’s a leading Breloom, so I figure its gotta’ be a Choice Scarf one - that is, unless he really hates Swampert leads. Anyway, as I have used the Choice Scarf Breloom variants before, I expect a Spore coming my way to take out Heatran and keep Rocks from going up. I have one thing on my team that can take those like a champ, so here he comes!
Seth Vilo switched in Leviathan (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Leviathan's intimidate cut FightThePOWA's attack!
FightThePOWA used Spore.
Leviathan fell asleep!

- 100%, napping...
- 100%
I know what you’re thinking. “Gyarados can take sleep??”. Well, if you’ve seen either of my teams in the RMT, or have battled me recently in Shoddy, you’ll recognize this guy. He’s the super-defensive Rest-Talking Gyarados, one of my new favorites in all time. I know he’s going to switch now, so I Sleep Talk to see what I get.
rilari82 switched in HOMO (lvl 100 Salamence ?).
HOMO's intimidate cut Leviathan's attack!
Leviathan is fast asleep!
Leviathan used Sleep Talk.
Leviathan used Rest.
But it failed!

- 100%
Darn it. Not only did I get a junk move from Sleep Talk, but my attack is lowered one stage. Not to mention he can start doing horrible things to my team with that thing. I have no idea what to expect from it, so I attempt to wake up my Gyarados and scout what he’ll be doing with that dragon.
HOMO used Dragon Dance.
HOMO's attack was raised.

Gosh-darn-gee-willikers, Batman! He’s a Dragon Dance variety! And I did a Waterfall that barely scratched him!! I’m going into overdrive right now, so instead of risking something awful, I try my luck at Sleep Talk again. I don’t know what possessed me to do that in hindsight…
HOMO used Dragon Dance.
HOMO's attack was raised.

Two Dragon Dances, Gyarados wasted a turn, and not much can switch in safely. I figure that he’ll take another shot at greedily Dragon Dancing so I switch in something that might still outspeed it, hoping it survives.
Seth Vilo switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
HOMO used Dragon Claw.
Gengar lost 254% of its health.
Seth Vilo's Gengar fainted.
HOMO lost 10% of its health.

- 0%, out...
- 90%, 2 DD...
5 - 6
I guess he thought I might Stone Edge…? Or perhaps just went for the kill… I never got a Dragon Dance in on my Gyarados, so he’s left to wonder what that mystery move is. Anywho, my Choice Scarf Gengar is now sliced to bits by his +2 Dragon Claw. I’m thinking it’s good game right here, so I switch something in that resists Dragon Claw and might hit hard back.
Seth Vilo switched in Fusion (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
What do you do when in doubt? Explode. It was better than SR, Earth Power, or Fire Blast, so I go for it.
HOMO used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Fusion lost 187% of its health.

And bang went that theory… SR isn’t up, Heatran is grounded, and I’m thinking I’m screwed. I decide my best bet is to go with something that’s immune to one of the moves I know he has, and can take a hit. Welcome back, Gyarados!
Seth Vilo switched in Leviathan (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).

BANG!! I get an idea. For some reason in the heat of battle, I always forget about my little fish’s ability! I HAVE A CHANCE!!! Just please don’t have Stone Edge!

Switch in Scizor, being resistant to Dragon. Did a lot less damage to the little bug than I expected, though! He didn’t Stone Edge my Gyarados, so I assume he’s gunna try to cook my little Mantis/ant thing. Back to Gyarados to take it and lower his attack even more!

Man I’m getting lucky! He hasn’t caught on yet either, as far as I can tell! I just need to keep lower his attack and letting Life Orb whittle him down. I want to keep Scizor alive for its benefit of Swords Dance and Bullet Punch, so I go to another bulky monster.

Bwahaha! Didn’t remember Sand Stream until the moment Shoddy registered the turns. Now he’s gunna hurt more! My Tyranitar is a Specs version (for freakin’ Rotom and Zapdos), and I don’t want to get locked in now having seen only two of his team. The time is not yet here to kill Salamence, and Tyranitar isn’t going to be doing it. Back to the Sea Monster.

His final act of lowering attack to lowering Salamence’s attack to sub-par. Now I think I have a chance. HOMO’s health is low now, Gyarados is deceased, so I send in Scizor for the quick pick off of the monster.

rilari82 switched in MyAssBurns (lvl 100 Infernape ?).
Dang it… That actually can take I Bullet Punch, I thought. (48.81% - 57.34% is what it would have taken). None the less, I Bullet Punch anyway, thinking I might wound it a bit for Lucario to take out…

It’s nice when I’m right, but also soooo bad. He’s faster, and wants to substitute down to Petaya boost! I thought of Swords Dance again, but I can’t let him get an Agility Boost. Lucario can come kill it off later if it attacks, so I Brick Break again to prevent Agility.

rilari82 switched in ThorLion (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Shoot. Another thing that resists Bullet Punch. I try a neutral Brick Break on it to attempt to kill it off if it can’t kill me first.

Gosh I’m freakin’ lucky. Now that’s down! Jolteon left!
rilari82 switched in ThorLion (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Now I Brick Break again. Then it dawns on me, why bother? I have a Lucario with Extremespeed. It may not KO now, but I might as well do as much as possible now while Scizor’s alive. I quickly hit Cancel, and change the move to Bullet Punch. Not a moment too soon either!

Again I underestimate the Power of Bullet Punch. Even on a resist, that move delt well over half! However, I’m glad I underestimated earlier with the two lucky Brick Breaks. Scizor’s down, Lucario’s next, and I have this game unless Jolteon goes nuts on me.

Sigh of relief after a battle I thought I’d lose.
Props:
*Scizor for being a beast, as per usual.
*His Salamence for taking advantage of my Gyarados’ nap and almost sweeping my team!
*Gyarados for Intimidate.
*Him for saving things that could screw Scizor for later on.
*Breloom for being a gutsy lead.
*Rilari82 for a great game and allowing me to test this team out more!
*Priority moves…
Slops:
*Me for letting him set up that Salamence!!!
*Odd switching near the end on his side.
*Gengar (both of em’) and Tyranitar for being mere fodder.
*Heatran for doing nothing as well…
Hope this was entertaining for you all! I found to to be a great battle, so I wrote it down in my first warstory! Yippee! I'm getting the hang of this stuff!

Well… that’s a load off my back, I guess… Maybe he was afraid of a Speed tie or something… I’ll never know. Now it’s back to Empoleon I guess to PetayAgility me to oblivion.

Shoot. Another thing that resists Bullet Punch. I try a neutral Brick Break on it to attempt to kill it off if it can’t kill me first.
ThorLion used BatonPass.
rilari82 switched in AquaBlade11 (lvl 100 Empoleon ?).

It's super effective!

Gosh I’m freakin’ lucky. Now that’s down! Jolteon left!
rilari82 switched in ThorLion (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Now I Brick Break again. Then it dawns on me, why bother? I have a Lucario with Extremespeed. It may not KO now, but I might as well do as much as possible now while Scizor’s alive. I quickly hit Cancel, and change the move to Bullet Punch. Not a moment too soon either!
Mantis of Death used Bullet Punch.
It's not very effective...
ThorLion lost 62% of its health.
ThorLion used Thunderbolt.
A critical hit!
Mantis of Death lost 163% of its health.
Seth Vilo's Mantis of Death fainted.
The sandstorm rages.
ThorLion is buffetted by the sandstorm!
ThorLion lost 6% of its health.

Again I underestimate the Power of Bullet Punch. Even on a resist, that move delt well over half! However, I’m glad I underestimated earlier with the two lucky Brick Breaks. Scizor’s down, Lucario’s next, and I have this game unless Jolteon goes nuts on me.
Seth Vilo switched in Anubis (lvl 100 Lucario ?).
Anubis used Extremespeed.
ThorLion lost 57% of its health.
rilari82's ThorLion fainted.
Seth Vilo wins!
Sigh of relief after a battle I thought I’d lose.
Rilari82's Team (in order of appearance):
Props:
*Scizor for being a beast, as per usual.
*His Salamence for taking advantage of my Gyarados’ nap and almost sweeping my team!
*Gyarados for Intimidate.
*Him for saving things that could screw Scizor for later on.
*Breloom for being a gutsy lead.
*Rilari82 for a great game and allowing me to test this team out more!
*Priority moves…
Slops:
*Me for letting him set up that Salamence!!!
*Odd switching near the end on his side.
*Gengar (both of em’) and Tyranitar for being mere fodder.
*Heatran for doing nothing as well…
Hope this was entertaining for you all! I found to to be a great battle, so I wrote it down in my first warstory! Yippee! I'm getting the hang of this stuff!
