Smogon, I am here to bring you the gift of this warstory. I post it not because I want respect, not because I want glory, not because I want luvdiscs, and (certainly) not because I love Pokemon. I bring you this story because it needs to be told. I am the Paul of Pokemon, spreading the sacred scripture of how gay Jirachi, Keldeo, Breloom, Genesect, and Tornadus-t are...by using them.
Bombastic opening aside, I really enjoyed this match, and I hope you guys do too. And yes, my team may be made up of the five cheapest Pokemon ever. At least Genesect looks cool though.
So, I look at his team. The strategy he is using will be obvious to most of you. Volt-turn with Magneton, Genesect, and Scizor weakens the other team. Magneton was probably chosen to remove steels so that Gliscwhore could have his way with toxic-stalling on other teams.
My team should be pretty obvious as well. I'm basically abusing gay-ass pokemon (I take that back. Gay people are not meant to be offended by me comparing them to Breloom). Breloom spores and dances, Keldeo and Tornadus-T wreck, Genesect scouts, and Jirachi is there to provide defense. Politoed does absolutely nothing, because it is a useless excuse for a Pokemon.

Shadow Trainer sent out Genesect!
Superstar sent out Keldeo!
The foe's Genesect's Download activates!
The foe's Genesect's Special Attack rose!
I send out Keldeo anticipating that he will try to win the weather war early with T-Tar. Instead, he sends out Genesect. This is fine, because Jirachi can easily take anything Genesect can do, especially an unboosted U-turn.
Turn 1
Superstar called Keldeo back!
Superstar sent out Jirachi!
The foe's Genesect used Thunderbolt!
Jirachi lost 30% of its health!
Jirachi restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Jirachi takes the T-Bolt like the fucking wall that she is. Maybe Gensect will go for the Thunderbolt and try to hurt my Jirachi. Maybe he will switch in Magneton. This last possibility seems the most alarming, so I Twave, hoping to ruin one of his scarfers. Even if Gliscwhore switches in, I can just switch out.
Turn 2
Shadow Trainer called Genesect back!
Shadow Trainer sent out Gliscor!

The foe's Gliscor's Toxic Orb activated!
The foe's Gliscor was badly poisoned!
And of course Gliscor switches in. It will probably protect, since most Gliscors are pussies. I decide to switch to Genesect, who gives no fucks about what some overgrown bat thinks about the size of his laser cannon. It's 9 inches long, for reference. Genesect can also fire off an ice beam from his other laser cannon, the one on top of his head.

Shadow Trainer called Gliscor back!
Shadow Trainer sent out Magneton!
U-turn on a Gliscor? Huh. My suspicions about his team being volt-turn were right on the money it seems. Time to U-turn out, just in case he is trying to bait me into giving T-tar a free turn or something. Honestly, why else would he switch his slow -ass pokemon into something that is scarfed 90% of the time. (Note: Choice Band Genesect is boss)
Turn 4
Genesect used U-turn!
It's not very effective... The foe's Magneton lost 21% of its health!

Superstar sent out Breloom!

It's super-effective! Breloom lost 87% of its health!
Breloom restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Clearly, just so that he could HP Fire it! This is a real bad piece of news. Magneton is going to have his way with the team and I'm...oh wait no. Game Freak just released the new, improved, Technician Breloom. This has had the effect of making Breloom even easier to use than before. I Mach Punch, knowing it's going to take a big dent out of something.
Turn 5
Breloom used Mach Punch!
It's super-effective! The foe's Magneton lost 78% of its health!
The foe's Magneton fainted!
Breloom restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Shadow Trainer sent out Gliscor!
And my boy Glicor comes in for the revenge. Well, Breloom is all but dead now anyway, so I'll just sac it, since nothing on my offensive team is going to like Ice Fang/Earthquake, and who knows which one my opponent will choose.
Turn 6
The foe's Gliscor used Ice Fang!
It's super-effective! Breloom lost 25% of its health!
Breloom fainted!
The foe's Gliscor restored a little HP using its Poison Heal!
Superstar sent out Politoed!
Politoed's Drizzle made it rain!
Gastrodon is going to come in. It's almost painfully obvious, and I stopped running HP Grass on Toed since sub-CM pokes kept raping me. The most painful thing in the world may just be watching Latios slowly begin to rape you once your Genesect is gone. This excludes many real world events that are much more painful than metaphorical Pokemon rape.

Tornadus-T lost 50% of its health!
Rain continues to fall!
The foe's Gastrodon restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Well, maybe goodbye wan't quite the right word. I have to think about this next move. He probably stayed in thinking that I would U-turn/Superpower/Focus Blast on the predicted Ttar switch. Or maybe he just wanted to do a good chunk of damage to Tornadus. Maybe he will stay in again. I don't know. But since Tornadus-T has the amazingly (broken) Regenerator (which is broken) ability, I can just Hurricane some more and switch out if necessary. Or even better, U-turn when the T-Tar actually comes in. I outspeed even scarf Tyranitar, for those uninitiated with Tornadus-T's (broken) base 121 speed. Plus, it does good for my opponent to see me as only making obvious moves, since it makes him see me as stupid
Turn 9
Shadow Trainer called Gastrodon back!
Shadow Trainer sent out Tyranitar!
The foe's Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
Tornadus-T used Hurricane!
It's not very effective... The foe's Tyranitar lost 14% of its health!

Tornadus-T is buffeted by the sandstorm!
The foe's Tyranitar restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
So the Tyranitar comes in, as Tyranitars are wont to do. When in doubt, U-turn out! He'll probably just set up rocks anyway. This is not good, but most of my team resists rocks anyway. And Tornadus-T has Regenerator. (Did I mention...)
Turn 10

Keldeo is buffeted by the sandstorm!
The foe's Tyranitar restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Prediction is going to be key here. Tyranitar is switching out. I mean obviously. So the question is whether I should use Secret Sword or Hydro Pump. I think he's going to predict that I will Secret Sword, because I haven't been predicting him all match, and he will just think I will go for the kill on his Tyranitar. Hydro Pump on your ass, Gliscor.
Turn 11
Shadow Trainer called Tyranitar back!
Shadow Trainer sent out Gliscor!
Keldeo used Hydro Pump!
It's super-effective! The foe's Gliscor lost 100% of its health!
The foe's Gliscor fainted!
The sandstorm rages!
Gliscor dies, just as predicted, leaving nothing on Shadow Stalker's side of the computer but the rustling of leaves in the wind. Why there were leaves and wind is either a reflection on the pussiness of Gliscor, or a testament to the blatant violations of the building code that my landlord ignores every single day.
Keldeo is buffeted by the sandstorm!
Shadow Trainer sent out Genesect!
The foe's Genesect's Download activates!
The foe's Genesect's Special Attack rose!
And we return to the same match-up that started the match. Once again, he nabs a Special Attack boost. Once again, I return to Jirachi, because Jirachi can take any thing that Genesect can throw at it.

The little slug comes in to stop my attacks once again. Did I mention that I hate Gastrodon? OH HES GOT A WATER IMMUNITY PERFECT COUNTER TO RAIN TEAMS BLAH BLAH BLAH. He's still a fucking slug that you are using to try and counter enormous birds of prey, desert rock dinosaurs, and my little ponies. Anyway, he's probably going to go for the scald. I switch in Tornadus-t to allow Genesect a free switch in.

The foe's Gastrodon's perish count fell to 3.
The toxic miss is unfortunate, but I don't think it affected the end of the battle. Why did Game Freak give Toxic 90% accuracy anyway? Just to make sure that Blissey wasn't totally over powered? I switch in Jirachi, because Toxic poison is a leech on the life of your Pokemon, slowly taking their health quicker than watching a Nicholas Cage movie destroys your sanity.

The slug wakes up, and I am not amused. Tyranitar is probably coming in, because a)It is the most bad-ass Pokemon ever invented, and b)It doesn't give a fuck if it's paralyzed. However, paralysis on Ttar will give me an excellent shot at flinch haxxing it to death, and maybe he'll switch in Genesect for some odd reason and give me the match.

I would like to put in a bible verse at this point:
"And God spoke to David:
My children, when you go through life you must make sure you are a bad-ass. You have to know that you are the biggest, baddest motherfucker in the valley of the shadow of death, and you don't fear no goddamn evil because your are on your own side."
-Psalm 23:12 or 16 or maybe 432 I don't remember the verse so sue me.
My bible knowledge is a little rusty, so I may have gotten the passage a bit wrong. Please post in the comments if a word or two was off.
The point of this biblical nonsense is that the winner of this match was preordained.
I have sold out my manhood by using pussy-ass Pokemon, whereas my opponent is using bad-ass dinosaurs, metal bugs, and desert bats. Who will win the speed tie? Some may say it is a coin toss, I say that it is the motherfucking hand of fate coming down on me like Chris Brown's fist.

I'd like to close with a quote from the concession speech of Herman Cain, my favorite politician ever:
"I believe these words came from the Pokemon movie: 'Life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when so much is on the line.'"
