Props – Skarmory for having JUST enough defense and HP to survive on multiple occasions.
Infernape and Alakazam, for being awesome sweepers and taking out plenty of other pokemon with them. Especially InfernRAPE, for annihilating the scourge of existence, Cressalia.
All the people that made this possible, including my family and friends, my wonderful coach and the original cast of Spamalot, who got me started.
Slops - Sacrificing my Dusknoir (probably) unecessarily.

Usually, Infernape comes in, pwnz0rz at least 2 pogemans, gets out and lives to InfernRAPE another day. This was VERY disappointing. He’ll prove himself to you soon enough.

As you can see, I’m an extremely graceful winner. Call it lucky or whatever, but I think I did really well and didn’t make any major mistakes. I’d love to hear and feedback and sincerely hope this warstory makes it into the archives. Thanks in advance!
Props – Skarmory for having JUST enough defense and HP to survive on multiple occasions.
Infernape and Alakazam, for being awesome sweepers and taking out plenty of other pokemon with them. Especially InfernRAPE, for annihilating the scourge of existence, Cressalia.
All the people that made this possible, including my family and friends, my wonderful coach and the original cast of Spamalot, who got me started.
Slops - Sacrificing my Dusknoir (probably) unecessarily.
Getting a little too excited at the end : )
