Hello, people! Time for a war story showing the current new face of UU. I happen to be up against a good friend of mine, Fishyman. This warstory will show perspectives from both our views.
My team is shown above, Fishyman's team is shown below.
The following Pokemon have leftovers, and will not be mentioned in the battle: Mesprit, Spiritomb, Cloyster, Clefable, Crobat, Raikou, Umbreon, Venusaur
My comments will be red, Fishyman's comments will be blue.
Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
Angel Diva sent out Mesprit.
Fishyman sent out Crobat.
Round one, and it's my tanky Mesprit facing off against a Crobat lead. Crobat leads have been known to taunt to prevent my setting up of Stealth Rock. As I didn't want this to be a wasted turn, I decided to attack straight up.
Looks like it's my Crobat up against Mesprit. I could lead off with Taunt to prevent whatever that Mesprit intends to do. But, Mesprit is known to carry at most three attacks, all which hit Crobat for super effective. I myself can let in a super effective hit too, while going a teammate that easily takes hits from Mespit. U-turn it is.
Crobat used U-turn.
It's super effective!
Mesprit lost 26% of its health.
Fishyman switched in Umbreon.
Mesprit used Psychic.
It doesn't affect Umbreon!
Ok, looks like I ended with a wasted first turn anyway. But at least, I know Umbreon won't be able to stop me from setting Stealth Rock.
Yikes! Angel hit with Psychic straight away! Luckily I didn't Taunt. Anyway, I'm going to Yawn to force Mesprit out and see the rest of her team.
Mesprit used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around Fishyman's team
Umbreon used Yawn.
Mesprit became drowsy.
Umbreon has Yawn. Since he is likely to use Yawn again as I switch, I decided to switch to a teammate to fall asleep. Spiritomb easily takes any hits well.
Unless Angel is going to let Mesprit fall asleep, she'd most probably switch. Hence, I decided to Yawn again.
Angel Diva switched in Spiritomb.
Umbreon used Yawn.
Spiritomb became drowsy.
I shall let Spiritomb fall asleep. Unfortunately, Umbreon walls Spiritomb, so I have to find a way to get rid of him.
Judging from the way Angel switches Spiritomb to take the yawn, I assume that it's Cro-tomb. Cro-tomb doesn't worry my team at all, as Crobat can Taunt it, and Umbreon and Steelix walls it badly.
Umbreon used Yawn.
But it failed!
Spiritomb used Dark Pulse.
It's not very effective...
Umbreon took no damage (healed back by leftovers)
Spiritomb fell asleep.
Oh well...it was worth a try to see how much I can hit for Umbreon. Knowing that I cannot even hurt Umbreon without Calm Mind boosts, I decided bring out a Pokemon whom Umbreon won't like to fight. Go, CB Pinsir!
Nothing much happening this match besides Spiritomb falling asleep. I shall wish to scout her switch-in.
Angel Diva switched in Pinsir.
Umbreon used Wish.
Umbreon made a wish!
Wish on Umbreon might mean there's Protect. Nevertheless, I shall just smack hard with a STAB X-scissor, which is bound to hurt anyone, even when resisted.
And I'm up against Pinsir. Pinsir might give my team some problems, but for now I have no choice but to switch to a Bug resist. Hopefully Pinsir doesn't predict and use Stone Edge.
Fishyman switched in Crobat.
Pointed stones dug into Crobat! (-25%)
Pinsir used X-Scissor.
It's not very effective...
Crobat lost 19% of its health.
The wish came true! (+44%, full HP again)
Of course, I should have expected Crobat to come in with his quad resistance to Bug. I should've Stone Edged there. Oh well. I have no choice but to switch. No one on my team really enjoys taking Brave Bird, so I shall switch to someone who has the highest defense on my team.
Having a full health Crobat in there immediately grants me control of the match. I can use Brave Bird, but U-turn is such a handy move, allowing me to scout Angel's response to Crobat and act accordingly. Therefore...
Angel Diva switched in Cloyster.
Crobat used U-turn.
Cloyster lost 14% of its health.
Wow! A Cloyster! I haven't seen one of those in a long time! Cloyster is normally about spiking and spinning, and since I have nothing for her to spin anyway, I shall keep Angel Diva on her toes and make sure Cloyster gets no free turns to set up spikes.
Fishyman switched in Raikou.
Pointed stones dug into Raikou! (-12%)
And Raikou is out! Luckily I have two Pokemon that are capable of screwing over Raikou. Time to switch over to one of them.
I expect Cloyster to be switching out, so I shall take the free turn here to set up a sub, and hopefully, sweep with Calm Mind later.
Angel Diva switched in Shaymin.
Raikou used Substitute.
Raikou made a Substitute!
I have no idea what Hidden Power Fishy's Raikou has, but without a boost, I don't think HP Ice can 2HKO. It's time to throw some dirt at the thunder dog!
Oh damn! I run HP Grass, which means that Grass Pokemon totally wall Raikou. On a positive note, I have seen almost all of Angel Diva's team. I shall be switching soon, but not before letting a hit onto Shaymin.
Raikou used Thunderbolt.
It's not very effective...
Shaymin lost 18% of its health.
Shaymin used Earth Power.
It's super effective!
Raikou's substitute faded!
My gamble paid off well. Raikou had Hidden Power Grass! I'm going to expect a switch to a ground resist now, so time to make my response to Crobat.
Note to self: Switch back to HP Ice. Anyway, I noted Shaymin's lack of leftovers, meaning that it's most probably choiced. Time to switch back to someone who LOLs at Earth Power.
Angel Diva switched in Cloyster.
Fishyman switched in Crobat.
Pointed stones dug into Crobat!
As expected, Crobat comes back in. I can try to set up spikes here, but knowing Crobat, it will probably Taunt me. Therefore, I shall hit hard at Crobat with a STAB attack.
Ah, I see Cloyster once again. As I said before, I can't give Cloyster any turns to set up Spikes, so I command Crobat to throw out his worst insults at Cloyster.
Crobat used Taunt.
Cloyster fell for the Taunt!
Cloyster used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Crobat lost 81% of its health.
Fishyman's Crobat fainted.
6 - 5
Yay! My prediction pays off. While I didn't get to set up Spikes, I'm still happy that Cloyster managed to get first blood! I'm going to expect Raikou coming back, though.
Damnit, so Cloyster decided to attack after all. And I thought I could've survived Ice Beam and Roost it off later. Well, Cloyster is Taunted so I decide to bring back my response to it in Raikou.
Fishyman switched in Raikou.
Well, Raikou's definitely not a problem now. Go Shaymin!
So, with Crobat out of action, my immediate Shaymin counter is gone. Still, I have Umbreon, who can take hits from Shaymin, provided that there's no Sp Def drop, so Umbreon, out you go!
Angel Diva switched in Shaymin.
Fishyman switched in Umbreon.
Pointed stones dug into Umbreon!
A double switch. I could go with Seed Flare right now. However, he can easily send out another Grass resist. I haven't seen half of his team yet, and I don't want to waste precious Seed Flare PP for no reason, especially with Raikou's Pressure in the wake. So, I decided to make a conservative move and use Umbreon as an opportunity to set up spikes.
I'm not sure how much Seed Flare does to Umbreon, so I shall Wish to scout for damage.
Angel Diva switched in Cloyster.
Umbreon used Wish.
Umbreon made a Wish!
I shall use this opportunity to set up spikes.
Oh damn, Cloyster is back. And that means a free turn of Spikes! I could of course, go back to Raikou, but Shaymin will just come back. So, I shall reveal another member that hopefully can put Angel Diva back on her toes.
Fishyman switched in Milotic.
Pointed stones dug into Milotic!
Cloyster used Spikes.
Spikes were scattered all over Fishyman's team!
The wish cam true! Milotic is back at full HP
No leftovers on Milotic. She's probably orbed or has specs. Still, I do have Shaymin in wait, so I shall send Shaymin out to take the predicted Hidden Power.
This seems like a great opportunity to hit Shaymin. I don't think Angel Diva will leave Cloyster in on Milotic, so I shall hit the switch in with a powerful Ice Beam. Hopefull Shaymin comes in.
Angel Diva switched in Shaymin.
Milotic used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Shaymin lost 51% of its health.
Milotic lost 10% of its health.
Shaymin takes a ton of damage from Milotic's Ice Beam. Nice prediction by Fishyman! Sadly, I don't really have any other way to get rid of Milotic, so I have to sacrifice Shaymin. I can revenge kill Milly with Pinsir later.
Wow! It's a shaky 2HKO. That means that Shaymin probably has a hefty investment in her HP, or Special Defenses. But that means Shaymin either won't be able to kill Milotic, or that it's slower. Hopefull it's the latter. Ice Beam is still a 2HKO anyway!
Milotic used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Shaymin lost 49% of its health.
Angel Diva's Shaymin fainted!
Milotic lost 10% of its health.
5 - 5
Angel Diva switched in Pinsir.
Alright, Milotic is no longer at max HP. With Life Orb, I'm assuming Milotic didn't stock up in her defenses, so Pinsir should be able to deal severe damage to Milotic with his STAB move.
Pinsir is out again. Luckily, I still have a bug resist on my team. Once again, I hope Angel doesn't overpredict with Pinsir and throw out a random Earthquake.
Fishyman switched in Steelix.
Pointed stones dug into Steelix. Steelix is hurt by spikes! (-15%)
Pinsir used X-Scissor.
It's not very effective...
Steelix lost 19% of its health.
Hmmm...looks like Fishyman is prepared for Pinsir, not to mention that Steelix also walls Spiritomb. On the other hand, presence of Steelix means that I can freely set up Spikes. Go Cloyster!
Pinsir will undoubtedly switch out, so I use this opportunity to power up Gyro Ball.
Angel Diva switched in Cloyster.
Steelix used Curse.
Steelix's Attack and Defense rose, Speed fell.
Hmm...a Cursing Steelix without leftovers. Could there be a Chesto or Lum Berry on his Steelix? Nevertheless, Steelix can't really do much to Cloyster, so it's time to prepare a surprise...
And Cloyster is back out. I don't want Cloyster setting up Spikes, nor do I want Steelix to take unnecessary damage from a STAB Surf, so I shall switch in the one Pokemon who can threaten to sweep Angel Diva's team now.
Fishyman switched in Raikou.
Pointed stones and spikes dug into Raikou. (-24%)
Cloyster used Explosion.
Both Cloyster and Raikou were blown to bits!
Angel Diva's Cloyster and Fishyman's Raikou fainted!
4 - 4
I was kinda expecting Raikou to come in. I finally realized that Cloyster won't be getting any free turns to spike anymore, so what the hack? Might as well blow up and bring someone down with me, provided Steelix switches, of course!
My lack of knowledge on Cloyster cost me Raikou. Of course, even if I knew Cloyster can explode, I definitely did not expect it to blow up, probably expecting Spikes or a weak Surf. Nevertheless, I still have another Pokemon that can threaten Angel Diva's team, so go Milotic!
Angel Diva switched in Pinsir.
Fishyman switched in Milotic.
Pointed Stones and spikes dug into Milotic.
Well, now that I know Steelix is out, I can safely say that I can ravage Fishyman's team away with a Choice Banded Earthquake. Milotic will be going down anyway.
Looks like I have to sacrifice Milotic to Pinsir. I definitely expect Angel Diva to be throwing out an Earthquake, and none of my team likes taking Earthquake. Therefore, goodbye Milotic!
Milotic used Hydro Pump.
Pinsir lost 95% of its health.
Milotic lost 10% of its health.
Pinsir used Earthquake.
Milotic lost 46% of its health.
Fishyman's Milotic fainted!
4 - 3
I reeled in shock that Milotic outsped and almost OHKO'ed Pinsir. I suppose this is one of the few times where I shouldn't have use Adamant on Pinsir. Pinsir is almost down for the count, so it's time to let in one final hit on an opponent.
Cool! Milotic is faster than Pinsir! I definitely did not expect that. Unfortunately, she fell short of a kill on Pinsir, meaning that another teammate will have to take serious damage from Earthquake.
Because Steelix is no longer at full HP, I decided to send in my next toughest Pokemon to take on Pinsir. I don't think Earthquake will OHKO Venusaur.
Fishyman switched in Venusaur.
Pointed stones and spikes dug into Venusaur.
Pinsir used Earthquake.
Venusaur lost 60% of its health.
Venusaur used Sludge Bomb.
Pinsir lost 5% of its health.
Angel Diva's Pinsir fainted!
3 - 3
Angel Diva switched in Mesprit.
Unexpectedly, Fishyman reveals his whole team before I do. Since Venusaur is almost dead, it's time to bring Mesprit to finish off Venusaur.
Angel Diva switched in Mesprit.
Well, no use switching Venusaur out anyway, as the spikes and stealth rock will kill him. Instead, time to do a last stand with Venusaur.
Venusaur used Synthesis.
Venusaur restored 50% of its health.
Mesprit used Psychic.
Venusaur lost 55% of its health.
-------
Venusaur used Sludge Bomb.
Mesprit lost 31% of its health.
Mesprit was poisoned!
Mesprit used Psychic.
Venusaur lost 9% of its health.
Fishyman's Venusaur fainted!
Mesprit is hurt by poison!
3 - 2
Fishyman switched in Umbreon.
Pointed Stones and spikes dug into Umbreon.
Venusaur finally goes down, but not before leaving an unpleasant sickness on Mesprit. Fishyman is down 3 - 2, and with my Clefable being able to ruin Umbreon and Steelix, I'd say this game is in the bag.
I still have no idea what Angel Diva's final Pokemon is. But, it ain't over til' it's over! Anyway, Umbreon my best bet, so I shall finish off Mesprit with Umbreon.
Mesprit used Thunderbolt.
Umbreon lost 13% of its health.
Umbreon used Payback!
It's super effective!
Mesprit lost 35% of its health.
Angel Diva's Mesprit fainted!
I'm willing to let Mesprit die, even though Clefable easily handles the rest of Fishyman's team. I decided to force Umbreon to Wish, so that I can Encore it.
Angel Diva switched in Clefable.
Aaargh!!! Angel Diva's last Pokey is that hateful bitch Clefable! I know that I definitely have no way past Clefable, especially if she carries Encore.
Umbreon used Wish.
Umbreon made a Wish!
Clefable used Encore.
Umbreon got an Encore!
Ok, readers. Sorry if this is a bit of an anti-climax, but the remaining turns alternated between Umbreon Wishing and Clefable throwing out Seismic Tosses and some switching around. Steelix' Rest was also Encored, so the remaining turns were rather boring. Spiritomb was asleep throughout this whole ordeal.
In the end, this is what happened.
Clefable's Encore has no more PP!
Umbreon's Wish has no more PP!
Without Wish, Umbreon succumbed to repeated Seismic Tosses.
The remaining turns of Clefable vs Steelix ended up with Steelix getting -4 Speed, +4 Attack and Defense through Rest and Sleep Talk.
Steelix used Gyro Ball. (4 PP left)
Clefable lost 100% of its health.
Angel Diva's Clefable fainted!
-------
Angel Diva switched in Spiritomb.
Spiritomb is fast asleep.
Spiritomb used Calm Mind.
Spiritomb's Special Attack and Special Defense rose.
Steelix used Gyro Ball.
Spiritomb lost 66% of its health.
-------
Spiritomb woke up!
Spiritomb used Sleep Talk.
But it failed!
Steelix used Gyro Ball. (last 2 PP)
Spiritomb lost 34% of its health.
Angel Diva's Spiritomb fainted.
Fishyman wins!
Spiritomb got really unlucky with Sleep Talk there, but with Steelix getting four curses the game was pretty much over for me.
Yea, what a boring match it turned out to be at the end. Thank god my final PP of Gyro Ball managed to finish Spiritomb before it could Rest again.
Props:
Pinsir, Cloyster, Clefable, and Milotic all did well in this battle. Especially Milotic, who killed Shaymin and almost killed Pinsir.
Cro-Steelix for giving the win!
Lack of hax
Slops:
Raikou and Shaymin, the two big names here, did nothing!
Boring ending.
Thanks for taking the time to read my war story!
My team is shown above, Fishyman's team is shown below.
The following Pokemon have leftovers, and will not be mentioned in the battle: Mesprit, Spiritomb, Cloyster, Clefable, Crobat, Raikou, Umbreon, Venusaur

Angel Diva sent out Mesprit.
Fishyman sent out Crobat.

But, Mesprit is known to carry at most three attacks, all which hit Crobat for super effective. I myself can let in a super effective hit too, while going a teammate that easily takes hits from Mespit. U-turn it is.

Fishyman switched in Umbreon.
Mesprit used Psychic.
It doesn't affect Umbreon!
Ok, looks like I ended with a wasted first turn anyway. But at least, I know Umbreon won't be able to stop me from setting Stealth Rock.
Yikes! Angel hit with Psychic straight away! Luckily I didn't Taunt. Anyway, I'm going to Yawn to force Mesprit out and see the rest of her team.
Mesprit used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around Fishyman's team
Umbreon used Yawn.
Mesprit became drowsy.
Umbreon has Yawn. Since he is likely to use Yawn again as I switch, I decided to switch to a teammate to fall asleep. Spiritomb easily takes any hits well.
Unless Angel is going to let Mesprit fall asleep, she'd most probably switch. Hence, I decided to Yawn again.
Angel Diva switched in Spiritomb.
Umbreon used Yawn.
Spiritomb became drowsy.
I shall let Spiritomb fall asleep. Unfortunately, Umbreon walls Spiritomb, so I have to find a way to get rid of him.
Judging from the way Angel switches Spiritomb to take the yawn, I assume that it's Cro-tomb. Cro-tomb doesn't worry my team at all, as Crobat can Taunt it, and Umbreon and Steelix walls it badly.
Umbreon used Yawn.
But it failed!
Spiritomb used Dark Pulse.
It's not very effective...
Umbreon took no damage (healed back by leftovers)
Spiritomb fell asleep.
Oh well...it was worth a try to see how much I can hit for Umbreon. Knowing that I cannot even hurt Umbreon without Calm Mind boosts, I decided bring out a Pokemon whom Umbreon won't like to fight. Go, CB Pinsir!
Nothing much happening this match besides Spiritomb falling asleep. I shall wish to scout her switch-in.
Angel Diva switched in Pinsir.
Umbreon used Wish.
Umbreon made a wish!
Wish on Umbreon might mean there's Protect. Nevertheless, I shall just smack hard with a STAB X-scissor, which is bound to hurt anyone, even when resisted.
And I'm up against Pinsir. Pinsir might give my team some problems, but for now I have no choice but to switch to a Bug resist. Hopefully Pinsir doesn't predict and use Stone Edge.
Fishyman switched in Crobat.

I expect Cloyster to be switching out, so I shall take the free turn here to set up a sub, and hopefully, sweep with Calm Mind later.
Angel Diva switched in Shaymin.
Raikou used Substitute.
Raikou made a Substitute!
I have no idea what Hidden Power Fishy's Raikou has, but without a boost, I don't think HP Ice can 2HKO. It's time to throw some dirt at the thunder dog!
Oh damn! I run HP Grass, which means that Grass Pokemon totally wall Raikou. On a positive note, I have seen almost all of Angel Diva's team. I shall be switching soon, but not before letting a hit onto Shaymin.
Raikou used Thunderbolt.
It's not very effective...
Shaymin lost 18% of its health.
Shaymin used Earth Power.
It's super effective!
Raikou's substitute faded!
My gamble paid off well. Raikou had Hidden Power Grass! I'm going to expect a switch to a ground resist now, so time to make my response to Crobat.
Note to self: Switch back to HP Ice. Anyway, I noted Shaymin's lack of leftovers, meaning that it's most probably choiced. Time to switch back to someone who LOLs at Earth Power.

Fishyman switched in Milotic.
Pointed stones dug into Milotic!
Cloyster used Spikes.
Spikes were scattered all over Fishyman's team!
The wish cam true! Milotic is back at full HP
No leftovers on Milotic. She's probably orbed or has specs. Still, I do have Shaymin in wait, so I shall send Shaymin out to take the predicted Hidden Power.
This seems like a great opportunity to hit Shaymin. I don't think Angel Diva will leave Cloyster in on Milotic, so I shall hit the switch in with a powerful Ice Beam. Hopefull Shaymin comes in.
Angel Diva switched in Shaymin.

And Cloyster is back out. I don't want Cloyster setting up Spikes, nor do I want Steelix to take unnecessary damage from a STAB Surf, so I shall switch in the one Pokemon who can threaten to sweep Angel Diva's team now.
Fishyman switched in Raikou.
Pointed stones and spikes dug into Raikou. (-24%)
Cloyster used Explosion.
Both Cloyster and Raikou were blown to bits!
Angel Diva's Cloyster and Fishyman's Raikou fainted!

Well, now that I know Steelix is out, I can safely say that I can ravage Fishyman's team away with a Choice Banded Earthquake. Milotic will be going down anyway.
Looks like I have to sacrifice Milotic to Pinsir. I definitely expect Angel Diva to be throwing out an Earthquake, and none of my team likes taking Earthquake. Therefore, goodbye Milotic!

Pinsir used Earthquake.
Venusaur lost 60% of its health.
Venusaur used Sludge Bomb.
Pinsir lost 5% of its health.

Angel Diva switched in Mesprit.
Unexpectedly, Fishyman reveals his whole team before I do. Since Venusaur is almost dead, it's time to bring Mesprit to finish off Venusaur.
Angel Diva switched in Mesprit.
Well, no use switching Venusaur out anyway, as the spikes and stealth rock will kill him. Instead, time to do a last stand with Venusaur.
Venusaur used Synthesis.
Venusaur restored 50% of its health.
Mesprit used Psychic.
Venusaur lost 55% of its health.
-------
Venusaur used Sludge Bomb.
Mesprit lost 31% of its health.
Mesprit was poisoned!
Mesprit used Psychic.
Venusaur lost 9% of its health.
Fishyman's Venusaur fainted!
Mesprit is hurt by poison!
3 - 2
Fishyman switched in Umbreon.
Pointed Stones and spikes dug into Umbreon.
Venusaur finally goes down, but not before leaving an unpleasant sickness on Mesprit. Fishyman is down 3 - 2, and with my Clefable being able to ruin Umbreon and Steelix, I'd say this game is in the bag.
I still have no idea what Angel Diva's final Pokemon is. But, it ain't over til' it's over! Anyway, Umbreon my best bet, so I shall finish off Mesprit with Umbreon.
Mesprit used Thunderbolt.
Umbreon lost 13% of its health.
Umbreon used Payback!
It's super effective!
Mesprit lost 35% of its health.
Angel Diva's Mesprit fainted!
I'm willing to let Mesprit die, even though Clefable easily handles the rest of Fishyman's team. I decided to force Umbreon to Wish, so that I can Encore it.
Angel Diva switched in Clefable.
Aaargh!!! Angel Diva's last Pokey is that hateful bitch Clefable! I know that I definitely have no way past Clefable, especially if she carries Encore.
Umbreon used Wish.
Umbreon made a Wish!
Clefable used Encore.
Umbreon got an Encore!
Ok, readers. Sorry if this is a bit of an anti-climax, but the remaining turns alternated between Umbreon Wishing and Clefable throwing out Seismic Tosses and some switching around. Steelix' Rest was also Encored, so the remaining turns were rather boring. Spiritomb was asleep throughout this whole ordeal.
In the end, this is what happened.
Clefable's Encore has no more PP!
Umbreon's Wish has no more PP!
Without Wish, Umbreon succumbed to repeated Seismic Tosses.
The remaining turns of Clefable vs Steelix ended up with Steelix getting -4 Speed, +4 Attack and Defense through Rest and Sleep Talk.
Steelix used Gyro Ball. (4 PP left)
Clefable lost 100% of its health.
Angel Diva's Clefable fainted!
-------
Angel Diva switched in Spiritomb.
Spiritomb is fast asleep.
Spiritomb used Calm Mind.
Spiritomb's Special Attack and Special Defense rose.
Steelix used Gyro Ball.
Spiritomb lost 66% of its health.
-------
Spiritomb woke up!
Spiritomb used Sleep Talk.
But it failed!
Steelix used Gyro Ball. (last 2 PP)
Spiritomb lost 34% of its health.
Angel Diva's Spiritomb fainted.
Fishyman wins!
Spiritomb got really unlucky with Sleep Talk there, but with Steelix getting four curses the game was pretty much over for me.
Yea, what a boring match it turned out to be at the end. Thank god my final PP of Gyro Ball managed to finish Spiritomb before it could Rest again.
Props:
Pinsir, Cloyster, Clefable, and Milotic all did well in this battle. Especially Milotic, who killed Shaymin and almost killed Pinsir.
Cro-Steelix for giving the win!
Lack of hax
Slops:
Raikou and Shaymin, the two big names here, did nothing!
Boring ending.
Thanks for taking the time to read my war story!
