I started playing the Uber ladder yesterday, and quiclky rose into the Top 10. During that hourney, I had one battle that just pumped me up, against a very formidable opponnet well known to anybody who browses these forums, and even to some people that don't. That opponnet, was none other than Jibaku.
I knew it wouldn't be an easy match, especially playing in his territory, Ubers. I prayed for my streak to continue. This would be the real test as if I was a decent Uber battler. Lets begin:
My team (TU-HECTOR):
Jibaku's team (Last pokemon will remain secret)
Jibaku's moves will look like this.
TU-HECTOR's moves will look like this.
other text will look like this.
Scores will be shown after each KO.

Jibaku sent out Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
TU-HECTOR sent out Darkrai (lvl 100 Darkrai).
TU-HECTOR: gl
Jibaku: okay
Fbaby has entered the room.
My first reaction as to when the window opened up was: Oh Snapz! I only had to read the name and I got intimidated. I respect Jibaku as an Uber battler as I know he is one of the best players. I also know he wrote a nice detailed guide on the Uber Metagame which basically helped me get started in it.
My second reaction was: God fuck Jirachi!! Everyone knows Darkrai carries Dark Void, reason for him to switch. So knowing that he would switch, I go for the free Substitute. My Darkrai is a Focus Puncher. As for Jirachi against the rest of my team, lets say its a pretty big threat and very hard for me to defeat.

Alright everything went as planned. Now, I knew his Groudon was a Restalker at this point, since its the only possible reason as to why he would switch-in, but the fact that Groudon's STAB EQ can hurt my team, I'm leaning towards putting it to sleep, so that there's that low 33% chance of it using Earthquake.
Darkrai used Dark Void.

Alright, sweet. Everything went as planned, and I knew what was coming now, what I consider the best Darkrai counter in the game, Jirachi. But of course, predicting this early in the game is useless since he may have something else in his arsenal.

Darkrai used Dark Pulse.
Jirachi lost 26% of its health.

Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
Alright, so basically, Jirachi is 5HKOd by Dark Pulse. WOOT! That's amazing! But of couse, Jirachi carries Wish, so basically no use in trying that. Though 5HKOing is epic win. Anyways, I still have my Sub up, so hellz why don't I stay in and see what happens. I don't know what type of Jirachi it is, so I'll just have to find out.
Darkrai used Dark Pulse.
Jirachi lost 25% of its health.
Jirachi used Body Slam.

Darkrai's substitute faded!
The sun continues to shine.
Alright Body Slam. First thing that came to mind was, Obi's Jirachi (Or Aldaron's, I always confuse them xD). Anyways, at this point I was thinking it carried Stealth Rock, U-turn and Wish. But still its unknown. My Darkrai right now has absolutely no business against this Jirachi with no sub up, so its time to switch to my Sun Beast Ugly THingy (a.k.a, my only Jirachi killer)
TU-HECTOR switched in Groudon (lvl 100 Groudon).
Groudon's Drought intensified the sun's rays!
Jirachi used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
The sun continues to shine.
Yeah that was pretty much expected, so right now I was sure of the Jirachi's set and I have my Groudon out. I'm running the support set, so I could start setting up my Rocks, but I have no idea what he has, and he probably is expecting a Stealth Rock, but I decide to hit whatever is coming in hard.
Jirachi used U-turn.
Groudon lost 10% of its health.

Jibaku switched in Mewtwo (lvl 100 Mewtwo).
Mewtwo is exerting its pressure!
Groudon used Earthquake.
Mewtwo lost 48% of its health.
The sun continues to shine.
Mewtwo's leftovers restored its health a little!
Mewtwo restored 6% of its health.
Alright, Mewtwo. Now I did expect my Earthquake to do a lot more, but as soon as I saw Leftovers, I knew this was a different set. But, I did not know Jibaku ran some crazy Mewtwo set as most Uber players know already. I was expecting a Calm Mind variant, so I decide to go to the Star (pun intended) of the team.
TU-HECTOR switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
Pointed stones dug into Jirachi.
Jirachi lost 6% of its health.
Mewtwo used Will-o-wisp.

Get it? Star? No? Darn. Anyways, I have a burned Jirachi now, and I still have no idea of what crazy set he's running. I'm thinking he'll switch, so nothing better to do than scout his team.
Mewtwo used Taunt.
Jirachi fell for the taunt!
Jirachi used U-turn.
It's super effective!

The rain continues to fall.
Kyogre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Kyogre restored 6% of its health.
Alright, so Taunt is his second move. Man, what a weird-ass set. The crit was pretty irrelevant throughout the match. Now I have my Kyogre out, and I'm pretty sure he isn't packing something like Thunder ( I don't even know if it learns Thunder).My Kyogre is a ResTalker, but he still hits hard despite no Special Attack EVs. He's probably going to switch, I think to myself, so lets just hit whatever comes in with Surf, see what his counter is.
Jibaku switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias ?).
Kyogre used Surf.
It's not very effective...
Latias lost 20% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Latias took that Surf like a man. I really despise Latias, which is why I use one because its so hella annoying ^___^;. Anyways, my first switch-in to Latias is always Jirachi, but Jirachi is burned, so basically Latias can be a problem. My Jirachi is still pretty healthy so why not go to it.
TU-HECTOR switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
Pointed stones dug into Jirachi.
Jirachi lost 6% of its health.
Latias used Thunder.
Jirachi lost 35% of its health.

Jirachi was hurt by its burn!
Jirachi lost 12% of its health.
Alright, after that Thunder, and with the burn, I know Jirachi won't be lasting too long. I'm running a Toxic-Stall set on this guy to ruin a lot of Setting-Up pokemon, such as Calm Mind Lati@s, Mewtwo, etc. So, lets poison the switch-in for extra fun =).
Jibaku switched in Groudon (lvl 100 Groudon).
Groudon's Drought intensified the sun's rays!

Jirachi used Toxic.
But it failed!

Jirachi was hurt by its burn!
Jirachi lost 12% of its health.
Nice prediction by Jibaku, even though he only saw one of my moves xD. So right now, I'm praying for his Sleep Talk to choose Dragon Claw/Rest, because I want to pull the Wish off and mantain Jirachi alive as long as possible.
Groudon is fast asleep!

Jirachi has to switch out now, because he now has the chance of EQing me to death, so I decide to go to the only Levitator I have just to avoid this from happenning. But...
Jibaku switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
TU-HECTOR switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias ?).
Pointed stones dug into Latias.
Latias lost 12% of its health.

Ouch, bad switch-in for me. Basically Latias has no business against Jirachi, so Latias is obviously coming out, and Groudon is coming in.
TU-HECTOR switched in Groudon (lvl 100 Groudon).
Groudon's Drought intensified the sun's rays!

The sun continues to shine.
Body Slam for minimum damage, and no parahax, YAY!. BAsically I knew he had a Latias in there, not afraid of switching in to Groudon, so I decide to get my rocks set up now. At this point of the game, I'm basically thinking, I'm gonna get raped so hard if I keep playing so obviously, so I think its time to start playing the prediction game. Jibaku is a very goods battler, so time to stop being Captain Obvious and transform into.... HULK! Nah not really, but Hulk is cool, though Batman is the shitz, anyways on to the battle.
Jirachi used U-turn.
Groudon lost 10% of its health.
Jibaku switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias ?).
Groudon used Stealth Rock.
The sun continues to shine.
Good News: I got my rocks up and made my first prediction of the game.
Bad News: I have absolutely nothing that can switch into Latias besides Jirachi.
I wanted to switch to Jirachi, but Thudner + Dragon Pulse would finish me off. I'm pretty sure he's gonna stay in on this turn, so I'm gonna do something smartz!
Latias used Dragon Pulse.
Groudon lost 46% of its health.
Groudon used Toxic.
Latias was badly poisoned!
The sun continues to shine.
Latias is hurt by poison!
Latias lost 6% of its health.
Perfect, I got it poisoned ^__^. If you're asking why I didn't Dragon Claw, well... I have no idea why, I thought it would be better in the long run? Anyway, I have to switch, basically because Jirachi is still fucken alive and strong, so I go to my Latias counter/toxic staller, despite it being so weak.

Yes I could've protected to get Latias weaker, but I thought Jibaku would take the chance of using Recover, which he didn't. Latias is getting weaker, thus lowering its effectiveness on walling Kyogre. I decide to go with Darkrai seeing as how it can take down Latias easily.

And of course, Jirachi comes in to play some games with Darkrai. FUCK JIRACHI AND ITS FAMILY. I don't wanna risk it Paralyzing my Darkrai, so I'm going to my status absorber just in case.

The rain continues to fall.
Now this is where it gets tricky.. and fun as well ^___^. I can Surf him for the Jirachi kill since he's at 50% or so, but I really didn't think I would be able to defeat it, so I knew he had Latias weak, and this is the part where I love myself (Can't blame me, I'm so sexy) for putting Ice Beam over Thunder ^__^. I decide to go with Ice Beam, since I'm pretty sure I won't kill Jirachi, but I can kill Latias.
Jirachi used U-turn.
Kyogre lost 12% of its health.
Jibaku switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias ?).

Alright, predicted right there ^__^.Finally I take down one of his guys, but I still feel he has the advantage over me for some reason. He still has 2 unknown pokemon to me, I guess that may be the reason? Lets continue with the battle.

Alright he brought in his Groudon, and I switch because Surf is a 2HKO under the sun, so its a must switch. Now you may be wondering why I went to Groudon instead of Latias, well I really don't know why I did that (again), but it turned out pretty nicely don't you think? ^__^; Time to kill that damn Steel Star on Steroids.
Jirachi used Body Slam.
Groudon lost 11% of its health.

I think Jibaku expected me to do something stupid and random again, but I didn't because killing Jirachi was my #1 priority at that point.
Jibaku switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).

TU-HECTOR's Groudon fainted.

Alright so he gets rid of the rain, and I'm forced to switch if I want to win this match. I was expecting an Earthquake, so I decide to go to Latias. Just so you know, he still has one pokemon very unknown to me, so I was trying to mantain the most guys alive as possible until I saw his last pokemon. If it was a Deo-a, I would be pretty screwed...

So he goes right back to Tyranitar. I saw his goal, get my guys as weak as possible, which just made me more nervous of his last guy, though I had a ScarfPalkia left so I felt pretty good, but still on the tip of my toes. Latias can't do anything to Tyranitar so I decide to go right back to Kyogre to kill his Groudon once and for all.

Props:
- Jibaku for being a great opponnet
- Darkrai for pulling off the sweep
- Groudon for beating Jirachi

- Palkia for not being able to show its face
- My paranoia about his last pokemon sweeping my team
Hope you enjoyed the read! First warstory on Smogon so tell me what you think. All feedback is appreciated

Alright, so Taunt is his second move. Man, what a weird-ass set. The crit was pretty irrelevant throughout the match. Now I have my Kyogre out, and I'm pretty sure he isn't packing something like Thunder ( I don't even know if it learns Thunder).My Kyogre is a ResTalker, but he still hits hard despite no Special Attack EVs. He's probably going to switch, I think to myself, so lets just hit whatever comes in with Surf, see what his counter is.
Jibaku switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias ?).
Kyogre used Surf.
It's not very effective...
Latias lost 20% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Latias took that Surf like a man. I really despise Latias, which is why I use one because its so hella annoying ^___^;. Anyways, my first switch-in to Latias is always Jirachi, but Jirachi is burned, so basically Latias can be a problem. My Jirachi is still pretty healthy so why not go to it.
TU-HECTOR switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).

Jirachi lost 12% of its health.
Alright, after that Thunder, and with the burn, I know Jirachi won't be lasting too long. I'm running a Toxic-Stall set on this guy to ruin a lot of Setting-Up pokemon, such as Calm Mind Lati@s, Mewtwo, etc. So, lets poison the switch-in for extra fun =).
Jibaku switched in Groudon (lvl 100 Groudon).

Nice prediction by Jibaku, even though he only saw one of my moves xD. So right now, I'm praying for his Sleep Talk to choose Dragon Claw/Rest, because I want to pull the Wish off and mantain Jirachi alive as long as possible.
Groudon is fast asleep!

He crit the Dragon Claw, but I managed to survive, and now, I can safely protect, and get Jirachi to a respectable amount of health, or so I thought XD.
Jirachi used Protect.
Jirachi protected itself!

Jirachi lost 12% of its health.
Jirachi has to switch out now, because he now has the chance of EQing me to death, so I decide to go to the only Levitator I have just to avoid this from happenning. But...
Jibaku switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
TU-HECTOR switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias ?).
Pointed stones dug into Latias.
Latias lost 12% of its health.

Ouch, bad switch-in for me. Basically Latias has no business against Jirachi, so Latias is obviously coming out, and Groudon is coming in.
TU-HECTOR switched in Groudon (lvl 100 Groudon).

Body Slam for minimum damage, and no parahax, YAY!. BAsically I knew he had a Latias in there, not afraid of switching in to Groudon, so I decide to get my rocks set up now. At this point of the game, I'm basically thinking, I'm gonna get raped so hard if I keep playing so obviously, so I think its time to start playing the prediction game. Jibaku is a very goods battler, so time to stop being Captain Obvious and transform into.... HULK! Nah not really, but Hulk is cool, though Batman is the shitz, anyways on to the battle.
Jirachi used U-turn.
Groudon lost 10% of its health.
Jibaku switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias ?).
Groudon used Stealth Rock.
The sun continues to shine.
Good News: I got my rocks up and made my first prediction of the game.
Bad News: I have absolutely nothing that can switch into Latias besides Jirachi.
I wanted to switch to Jirachi, but Thudner + Dragon Pulse would finish me off. I'm pretty sure he's gonna stay in on this turn, so I'm gonna do something smartz!
Latias used Dragon Pulse.
Groudon lost 46% of its health.
Groudon used Toxic.
Latias was badly poisoned!
The sun continues to shine.
Latias is hurt by poison!
Latias lost 6% of its health.
Perfect, I got it poisoned ^__^. If you're asking why I didn't Dragon Claw, well... I have no idea why, I thought it would be better in the long run? Anyway, I have to switch, basically because Jirachi is still fucken alive and strong, so I go to my Latias counter/toxic staller, despite it being so weak.

Yes I could've protected to get Latias weaker, but I thought Jibaku would take the chance of using Recover, which he didn't. Latias is getting weaker, thus lowering its effectiveness on walling Kyogre. I decide to go with Darkrai seeing as how it can take down Latias easily.

And of course, Jirachi comes in to play some games with Darkrai. FUCK JIRACHI AND ITS FAMILY. I don't wanna risk it Paralyzing my Darkrai, so I'm going to my status absorber just in case.

Now this is where it gets tricky.. and fun as well ^___^. I can Surf him for the Jirachi kill since he's at 50% or so, but I really didn't think I would be able to defeat it, so I knew he had Latias weak, and this is the part where I love myself (Can't blame me, I'm so sexy) for putting Ice Beam over Thunder ^__^. I decide to go with Ice Beam, since I'm pretty sure I won't kill Jirachi, but I can kill Latias.
Jirachi used U-turn.

Alright, predicted right there ^__^.Finally I take down one of his guys, but I still feel he has the advantage over me for some reason. He still has 2 unknown pokemon to me, I guess that may be the reason? Lets continue with the battle.

Alright he brought in his Groudon, and I switch because Surf is a 2HKO under the sun, so its a must switch. Now you may be wondering why I went to Groudon instead of Latias, well I really don't know why I did that (again), but it turned out pretty nicely don't you think? ^__^; Time to kill that damn Steel Star on Steroids.
Jirachi used Body Slam.

I think Jibaku expected me to do something stupid and random again, but I didn't because killing Jirachi was my #1 priority at that point.
Jibaku switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).

Alright, basically he has a Tyranitar at full health, with CB I believe, so I decide to go to Kyogre since it takes care of the Sandstorm and should do some nicdamage to whatever is left on his team.

Alright so he gets rid of the rain, and I'm forced to switch if I want to win this match. I was expecting an Earthquake, so I decide to go to Latias. Just so you know, he still has one pokemon very unknown to me, so I was trying to mantain the most guys alive as possible until I saw his last pokemon. If it was a Deo-a, I would be pretty screwed...

So he goes right back to Tyranitar. I saw his goal, get my guys as weak as possible, which just made me more nervous of his last guy, though I had a ScarfPalkia left so I felt pretty good, but still on the tip of my toes. Latias can't do anything to Tyranitar so I decide to go right back to Kyogre to kill his Groudon once and for all.

With Groudon out of the way, I knew I was so close to having this won. He switches in Tyranitar to kill my Kyogre, but I have no idea what his last guy is, so, expecting the Crunch for the KO....

Props:
- Jibaku for being a great opponnet

- Groudon for beating Jirachi
- Kyogre for taking hits like the beast that it is
Slops:
- Palkia for not being able to show its face
- My paranoia about his last pokemon sweeping my team
