Laddering just trying to reach a respectable score, I was nearing 1500. I was on an 7-1 streak, and I was feeling virtually unbeatable, little had I known the next time I hit find match would I see a friend of mine; once I saw the name, I knew I was in for a classic match between more than just 2 friends, it was gonna be a battle between 2 warriors. I had brought one of my top teams, one of my teams that has been reliable, and has gotten me through many tough times, the team was:

Colonel M: Oh noes

Colonel M: First darkie, then Aeolus, now you
It is turn number one, and I already can tell I have the upper hand. Sort of. Azelf leads I have nearly nothing to fear. Only Zapdos is really weak to Stealth Rock and at least the rest of the team won't mind it too much. Unfortunately, he is guarunteed to lay it, but I decide to use Pursuit anyway just incase it decides to U-Turn.

Well, Azelf did his job. He got the SR up, and now I know that he's running a CB Tar. I'm guessing that im gonna be up against an offensive team, so I'm gonna send in a pokemon who will force a switch, and see what I'm up against right now...
Well, one down. But I remember in my past battles what would happen next. A Pokemon that at least can resist Pursuit is on the way, and I can simply anticipate the situation. I'm wondering who it will be...
Score: 6 - 5 Colonel M
SoT switched in Lucario (lvl 100 Lucario ?).

SoT: that sucks
Not what I wanted really. I don't like facing Lucario, especially THIS early in the match. Granted that I have a few ways to at least stop him (Zapdos, Heatran, Scizor in emergencies), but it is going to get risky on what Lucario is going to do. I consider two options: Swords Dance or Close Combat. Praying, I switch to Zapdos and hope for Close Combat.

Okay, so I Swords Dance knowing fully that he's switching out to a counter, I wasn't sure as to what kind of Zapdos he had been running, but I figured I'd take a risk, since if I try and play conservaitely I really won't be in this battle for long...
Not good. I could've switched Heatran in, but I was sort of asleep on the wheel and scared out of my wits. Oh dear, I'm sorry that this happened next.

I was right, he was running a LO Zappy, or just a fast Zapdos without much Bulk to it, right now I'm begining to think that I can end this game pretty quickly since what I assumed to be his counter was dead...
The upper hand has suddenly dissapeared, and now SoT will now 3 of my Pokemon compared to his 2. Not good for me that is. I felt stupid for sacrificing Zapdos because it could've helped me later, but now was not the time for remorse. I switch to Heatran to either scare it off or go for the KO.
Score: 5-5 Draw
Colonel M switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.
Heatran lost 12% of its health.
Thinking hard about this, I had two options: use Earth Power and pray that a Levitating Pokemon doesn't switch in, or use Fire Blast and risk a Heatran switch. I consider a safer option to be Earth Power so I attack the Lucario and hope to kill it.

Okay, well He had set up SandStorm for me, and I figured now would be a good time to send in my little buddy here, turns out he didn't Fire Blast, and ends up taking a chunk out of my HP. Not feeling like taking another Earth Power and losing more health, I go to my most trustworthy pokemon..
I catch his Rhyperior. 43% though was what I anticipated, as a lot of them aren't 2HKOed by Earth Power (screw Timid). This means I must switch yet again and hope to God that it doesn't do anything very threatening at me. I consider my options and draw very few straws. It seemed to me that my Rhyperior was the best for the situation, so I switch him in to take the hit.
Colonel M: Won both

Double switch, not sure what set he's running, but I really don't want to let him set up, so I decide to go for straight offense...
I'm guessing that SoT thought I would stay in and attempt to use Earth Power. Silly SoT, of course I'm going to switch. Still, Salamence versus Rhyperior. I'm thinking it will be the usual Dragon Dance version, so I attempt to get ready and use Stone Edge to take him out.

Okay, that failed horribly, I'm pretty sure that he's running a really bulky set, just not sure how bulky he is. I've weakened him so that he won't be able to switch into very many more attacks, so I figure I'll just scout his team a bit more..
Thank God for Solid Rock! I'm left with a little over 50% and another Pokemon is out of the equation. Unfortunately I am vulnerable to the next switch-in. Not to worry, I'm guessing it will be either Celebi or a Bulky Water-type.
SoT switched in Suicune (lvl 100 Suicune).

So I'm thinking what this set will be. I'm hoping it isn't the Sub Calm Mind Suicune, because I have a few issues with this sometimes. Granted, Scizor and Tyranitar can at least survive the Surf, but without Zapdos I'm in a tight situation. Dammnit Colonel, why did you let Zapdos die! I decide to use Toxic to at least cripple Suicune.

Well, I ridded him of his Bulky Water, so I'm pretty sure that I just gave my Rhyperior a much greater chance of sweeping late game. I'm gonna see if I can down a few more pokemon with Suicune, who is just gonna stay in till she's dies..
So I'm left with very few options. Suicune isn't dead yet and I need to act fast. I switch to Tyranitar and pray that he can at least survive the +2 Surf. But its highly unlikely.

Well, now I'm in real deep trouble. Losing Zapdos was so bad of me. Oh how I still regret it. But then I look closer... SoT is only left with 3 Pokemon. This could still mean that I have a chance to pull this off. I switch Heatran in and use Earth Power, hoping to the great PokeGods in the sky that none of his Pokemon float in the air!

Sacrifices had to be made, I was hoping he would Fire Blast since he was unsure of my last, but he made the smart choice, and he Earth Powered. It was down to 2 pokemon now, my Rhyperior and Heatran, against his Rhyperior and Heatran. This battle was gonna be close, coming down to a speed tie, I was sure of it...
ARGH! But I feel a little better with this. Or slightly worse. Here coes Rhyperior to screw up the day perhaps?

Being left with Rhyperior and Heatran, I had to think carefully. If Heatran was down, I still had Rhyperior to back me up against this. I would still survive, and the next Pokemon would hopefully -not- kill me. I'm in a tight spot here, so I decide to use the Earth Power.

Unfortunately...bad things generally happen in the worst of times, this being a prime example. I would of had 20 or less health if I had survived, so I was pretty disappointed, but I still had a chance. It was slim, but I had to try...
And I obtained luck. I feel slightly miserable for winning so unfairly, but to win and have fun is a goal of Pokemon. So I thank the heavens for it and proceed to wonder who Pokemon #6 is...

Disappointed, my Heatran misses the KO by a mere 4%. If only if only, but at last, that Rhyperior was just to bulky for my Heatran to get by, soo close to victory yet soo far. All in all, it was a great battle, and I had a lot of fun, it was the best battle I've had in quite some time over the ladder, and it featured a pokemon who most seem to think is underrated, however it is quite the opposite. He was a beast, and I was unable to get past him.
And so thus ends the game. I'm left with one Pokemon to show it as well, the victor: Su(b)perior... but then again I didn't get to use Substitute for this match. Ah well.

We give our gg to a good match with only one real hax situation (unfortunately it cost SoT the game). I bet he was slightly irritated, but we both had fun during the match.
PROPS:
- Suicune for devistating his team.
- Lucario for being there when I needed him to.
- Colonel M's Rhyperior for being such a pain, both offensively and Defensively.
- My Heatran for being soo close, yet soo far.
- Colonel M for giving me a great battle!
SLOPS:
- My Rhyperior, got taken out of the game due to an unfortunate crit.
- Salamence, I thought he would do a lot more to his Rhyperior.
- Me for getting ahead of myself, thinking I had won the game too early in.
- Me for giving up to early.
Props:
- Rhyperior, for being such a smexy beast
- Heatran, for the lucky critical.
- Vaporeon, for shutting down Suicune
- Scizor, for at least helping a little bit of the match... right?
- Tyranitar, for the crucial damage support (Sandstorm!). And for helping finish off Suicune.
- SoT, for a great match.
Slops:
- Losing Zapdos early was rather stupid of me.
- Vaporeon, for missing with Toxic. ;_;

I finally intoxicated the Suicune, but a little too late. Sorry Vaporeon, but it seems that you'll have to be sacrificed to Suicune. You did good by at least preventing him from getting very far.
Suicune used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
Vaporeon lost 8% of its health.
Colonel M's Vaporeon fainted.
Suicune lost 10% of its health.

Well, I ridded him of his Bulky Water, so I'm pretty sure that I just gave my Rhyperior a much greater chance of sweeping late game. I'm gonna see if I can down a few more pokemon with Suicune, who is just gonna stay in till she's dies..
So I'm left with very few options. Suicune isn't dead yet and I need to act fast. I switch to Tyranitar and pray that he can at least survive the +2 Surf. But its highly unlikely.

Nice! I ridded him off his Tyranitar, a pokemon who could devistate this team without my Salamence + Lucario. I really don't think he has a way to fully dedal with Life Orb Suicune, so things are looking up for me!
...But thanks to the Sandstorm, Toxic, and Suicune's Life Orb, it is in range of Bullet Punch. Gogo Scizor!

Boo, I was hoping that I could get another kill in before she's meets her inevitable end. Well, at least I know that he's running a LO Scizor, most likely a SD Roost, but I'm not fully sure of that...
Best... addition... ever!
Score: 3-3 Draw
SoT switched in Lucario (lvl 100 Lucario ?).
Unfortunately if I switch, I risk the Close Combat. *Sigh*. Scizor seems to be the weakest link here, and if SoT is cocky enough to use Swords Dance (unlikely though), I could at least charge with Bullet Punch.

Okay, well I took down his Scizor, a pokemon who can be of trouble for this team, Lucario got a decent chunk taken out of him, so I'm not to sure how much longer he'll be able to stay in the game...
Well, now I'm in real deep trouble. Losing Zapdos was so bad of me. Oh how I still regret it. But then I look closer... SoT is only left with 3 Pokemon. This could still mean that I have a chance to pull this off. I switch Heatran in and use Earth Power, hoping to the great PokeGods in the sky that none of his Pokemon float in the air!
Score: 2-3 SoT

Sacrifices had to be made, I was hoping he would Fire Blast since he was unsure of my last, but he made the smart choice, and he Earth Powered. It was down to 2 pokemon now, my Rhyperior and Heatran, against his Rhyperior and Heatran. This battle was gonna be close, coming down to a speed tie, I was sure of it...
ARGH! But I feel a little better with this. Or slightly worse. Here coes Rhyperior to screw up the day perhaps?
Score: 2-2 Draw
SoT switched in Rhyperior (lvl 100 Rhyperior ?).
Being left with Rhyperior and Heatran, I had to think carefully. If Heatran was down, I still had Rhyperior to back me up against this. I would still survive, and the next Pokemon would hopefully -not- kill me. I'm in a tight spot here, so I decide to use the Earth Power.
Heatran used Earth Power.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Rhyperior lost 63% of its health.

SoT: ...
SoT: wow
Colonel M: Aw sorry
SoT: you probably win now
SoT: =/
Unfortunately...bad things generally happen in the worst of times, this being a prime example. I would of had 20 or less health if I had survived, so I was pretty disappointed, but I still had a chance. It was slim, but I had to try...
And I obtained luck. I feel slightly miserable for winning so unfairly, but to win and have fun is a goal of Pokemon. So I thank the heavens for it and proceed to wonder who Pokemon #6 is...
Score: 2-1 Colonel M
SoT switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Heatran used Earth Power.
It's super effective!
This basically net me the win. Heatran being seen leaves SoT one option: Earth Power. I allow Heatran to take the blow and have my Rhyperior finish him off.
Heatran lost 75% of its health.
Colonel M's Heatran fainted.

Well, I won what I believe is a speed tie, not sure what set he's running though, but still. I was pretty happy, but I know that I still have to take down one last pokemon, one of his favorites...

Disappointed, my Heatran misses the KO by a mere 4%. If only if only, but at last, that Rhyperior was just to bulky for my Heatran to get by, soo close to victory yet soo far. All in all, it was a great battle, and I had a lot of fun, it was the best battle I've had in quite some time over the ladder, and it featured a pokemon who most seem to think is underrated, however it is quite the opposite. He was a beast, and I was unable to get past him.
And so thus ends the game. I'm left with one Pokemon to show it as well, the victor: Su(b)perior... but then again I didn't get to use Substitute for this match. Ah well.
Score: 1-0 Colonel M!
Illogical has left the room.
Colonel M: Not gg
SoT: gg
SoT: lol
SoT: 4%
Colonel M: Cuz I cheated. ;_;
SoT: It's fine
SoT: ^_^
SoT: heh
SoT: gg
Colonel M: gg
Colonel M has left the room.
SoT has left the room.
We give our gg to a good match with only one real hax situation (unfortunately it cost SoT the game). I bet he was slightly irritated, but we both had fun during the match.
PROPS:
- Suicune for devistating his team.
- Lucario for being there when I needed him to.
- Colonel M's Rhyperior for being such a pain, both offensively and Defensively.
- My Heatran for being soo close, yet soo far.
- Colonel M for giving me a great battle!
SLOPS:
- My Rhyperior, got taken out of the game due to an unfortunate crit.
- Salamence, I thought he would do a lot more to his Rhyperior.
- Me for getting ahead of myself, thinking I had won the game too early in.
- Me for giving up to early.
Props:
- Rhyperior, for being such a smexy beast
- Heatran, for the lucky critical.
- Vaporeon, for shutting down Suicune
- Scizor, for at least helping a little bit of the match... right?
- Tyranitar, for the crucial damage support (Sandstorm!). And for helping finish off Suicune.
- SoT, for a great match.
Slops:
- Losing Zapdos early was rather stupid of me.
- Vaporeon, for missing with Toxic. ;_;
- Hax. I know it isn't really a slop, but I just hate it.
- Me, for not thinking sometimes.
