Gen 3 Warstory: Go Charizard!

It was a promising and sunny day, and I was off to the stadium for the local tournament. I had been training a team of pokemon for months and, though I was inexperienced, I felt that I could go up against the best and win. I had grown up hearing about Ash's exploits, how his Charizard had defeated Poliwrath, Articuno, and even a Blastoise! I strived to train my Charmander in his footsteps but, unfortunately, I failed to teach it the most powerful move...Seismic Toss!! (sarcasm meter explodes). Anyway, when I was faced by DarkZeta, I was in for a surprise.

Dormin's team:

Dormin vs '[DarkZeta]'. Begin!
Dormin sent out Gardevoir (Lv.100 Gardevoir)!
'[DarkZeta]' sent out Jolteon (Lv.100 Jolteon)!
Gardevoir Traced Jolteon's Volt Absorb!

The Stadium erupted in cheers and jeers alike, as I sent out my trusty Gardevoir and Zeta sent out his plotting Jolteon. It was here that I made my first mistake.

Begin Turn #1
Jolteon used Substitute!
Jolteon made a Substitute!
---------------------------------
Gardevoir used Calm Mind!
Gardevoir's Special Attack rose!
Gardevoir's Special Defense rose!
---------------------------------
End of turn #1
Dormin's Gardevoir: 291 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Jolteon: 75% HP

The knowledge of a baton pass was now in my mind, but I didn't see a baton, so I figured I was alright. Boy was I wrong.

Begin Turn #2
Jolteon used Baton Pass!
'[DarkZeta]' sent out Metagross (Lv.100 Metagross)!
---------------------------------
Gardevoir used Psychic!
The Substitute took damage for Metagross!
It's not very effective...
---------------------------------
End of turn #2
Dormin's Gardevoir: 291 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Metagross: 100% HP

Somehow Jolteon had hidden the baton by gripping it in its paw the whole time! The crowd became hushed, and I knew I was in trouble. As the menacing Metagross stared down my vulnerable Gardevoir, I had to think quick. Now seemed as good a time as ever! GO WEEZING!

Begin Turn #3
Dormin withdrew Gardevoir!
Dormin sent out Weezing (Lv.100 Weezing)!

A critical hit!
---------------------------------
Weezing's Leftovers restored its HP a little!
End of turn #3
Dormin's Weezing: 185 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Metagross: 100% HP

A critical hit right off the bat! The crowd roared in excitement as I coaxed Weezing on, and it seemed the many days of training paid off, as he met the Substitute's blank stare with one of his own!

Begin Turn #4
Metagross used Meteor Mash!
(181 damage)
---------------------------------
Weezing used Fire Blast!
The Substitute took damage for Metagross!
Metagross's Substitute faded!

'[DarkZeta]''s Metagross: 100% HP

Weezing was able to defeat the nefarious substitute! But it seemed that poor Weezing wasn't prepared for the menace that lurked behind....

Begin Turn #5
Metagross used Meteor Mash!
(24 damage)
Weezing fainted!
Dormin sent out Charizard (Lv.100 Charizard)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #5

'[DarkZeta]''s Metagross: 100% HP

Hoping to gain the advantage, I sent out my most powerful pokemon, Charizard! In my haste, I believed I could end the battle quickly, but Zeta had something else in mind.

'[DarkZeta]' withdrew Metagross!
'[DarkZeta]' sent out Milotic (Lv.100 Milotic)!
---------------------------------
Charizard used Substitute!
Charizard made a Substitute!
---------------------------------
End of turn #6
Dormin's Charizard: 222 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Milotic: 100% HP

Milotic! In Charizard's haste to knit a pokemon doll to hide behind, Zeta had sent out Milotic. I knew that the rare Milotic was one of the few who could withstand my most powerful combination, but I didn't want to hurt Charizard's feelings by not using his well-made substitute doll.

Begin Turn #7
Charizard used Rock Slide!
(27% damage)
---------------------------------
Milotic used Surf!

End of turn #7

'[DarkZeta]''s Milotic: 79% HP

As the Rocks fell from the sky, I hoped that Milotic would be stunned by the display. She was not, and so Charizard had to return to my pokeball.

Begin Turn #8

It was time to put Milotic in its place. But, just as Gardevoir strained to draw a Thunderbolt out of the sunny sky, my worst nightmare entered the arena!

Begin Turn #11
'[DarkZeta]' withdrew Milotic!
'[DarkZeta]' sent out Dugtrio (Lv.100 Dugtrio)!
---------------------------------
Gardevoir used Thunderbolt!
It doesn't affect Dugtrio...
---------------------------------
End of turn #11
Dormin's Gardevoir: 158 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Dugtrio: 100% HP

While I knew that I should retreat Gardevoir, something about the three sinister and evil moles in the ground had locked all my poke balls! I didn't know Dugtrio had Psychic powers!!!!!!!

Begin Turn #12
Dugtrio used Hidden Power!
(158 damage)
It's super effective!
Gardevoir fainted!
Dormin sent out Sceptile (Lv.100 Sceptile)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #12
Dormin's Sceptile: 290 HP

My lithe and confident Sceptile had entered the arena to combat the dreaded ground dwellers. Go Sceptile, LEAF BLADE!!

Begin Turn #13
'[DarkZeta]' withdrew Dugtrio!
'[DarkZeta]' sent out Venusaur (Lv.100 Venusaur)!
---------------------------------
Sceptile used Leaf Blade!

'[DarkZeta]''s Venusaur: 92% HP

---------------------------------
Metagross's Leftovers restored its HP a little!
End of turn #14
Dormin's Metagross: 143 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Venusaur: 92% HP

Venusaur went first? What the fu....Muk! In my anger I lashed out at the smirking DarkZeta. Then I had an epiphany--I had been playing poorly the whole match! I should have known that Venusaur would have killed Sceptile either way, because even though Sceptile's ice attack was hidden AND powerful, Venusaur is known for its strength and bulkiness! I felt that I had already lost the match, but luck had other plans!

Begin Turn #15
Venusaur used Sleep Powder!
Venusaur's attack missed!
---------------------------------
Metagross used Explosion!
(92% damage)
Venusaur fainted!
Metagross fainted!
Dormin sent out Charizard (Lv.100 Charizard)!

---------------------------------

Dodging Venusaur's hallucinogenic puffballs of death, Metagross had just enough time to explode, sacrificing itself for me!

Milotic's Leftovers restored its HP a little!
End of turn #15
Dormin's Charizard: 222 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Milotic: 71% HP
'[DarkZeta]': u.U

I was shocked, my Metagross (or what was left of it) was lying in a dark crater in the ground, utterly destroyed. In my anger I tried to unleash my most powerful pokemon again! To my dismay, I was thwarted--but I thought I still had a chance

Begin Turn #16

End of turn #18
Dormin's Charizard: 222 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Milotic: 43% HP (Par)

It was my last chance--I knew I was an inch from defeat. I looked at Charizard and he knew that he now depended on the power of Starmie's electric blast--he would either be crushed by a wave of merciless water, or ascend into the SUPER SAIY..uh, I mean SUPER BRUISEDBELLY state. The crowd watched, rapt in awe as Charizard began drumming his belly!!

Begin Turn #19
Charizard used Belly Drum!
Charizard cut its own HP and maximied Attack!
---------------------------------
Milotic is paralyzed! It can't move!
---------------------------------
Using Salac Berry, the Speed of Charizard rose!

End of turn #19
Dormin's Charizard: 74 HP
'[DarkZeta]''s Milotic: 49% HP (Par)

Left and right Zeta's pokemon fell to the heavy rumbling of the earthquake. He was astounded at Charizard's power, and hoped to send his own dragon to end the battle once and for all!!

Begin Turn #23
Charizard used Rock Slide!
(100% damage)

'[DarkZeta]' sent out Dugtrio (Lv.100 Dugtrio)!
---------------------------------

Little did Salamence know that Charizard had the ability to make rocks slide out of the sky!!

Begin Turn #24
Charizard used Earthquake!
(100% damage)
Dugtrio fainted!

Charizard, having avenged Gardevoir by defeating Dugtrio, had won the match!! Though DarkZeta left without a word, I felt that we would battle again one day. A moment later, the announcer came out, and proclaimed the battle over! I had made a sweep that would make Ash proud!!

End Battle! Dormin wins!
Score: 1 to 0
Dormin: Comeback of the century

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I am almost ashamed I won after just playing around for the whole match. My main reason for writing this is that I found it ironic how Ash-like the win was--winning the battle while playing it with no skill. Trust me, that is not how I usually play and I am a lot better now that I have gotten used to the ADV metagame, and you can view the updated team in my RMT thread.

Hope you enjoyed it! lol

There's no part of the log where Team Rocket shows up. Failure.

Synchronize is lying! I really liked your usage of satire, and it really made this an enjoyable read. Good warstory!

Obviously your opponent could have made better use of Salamence's Intimidate, though.
 
Thanks Karrot. Yah, Intimidate stalling could have helped him. But that would have ruined the overall noobishness/Ashness of the battle! lol
 
haha he has salamence, metagross and jolteon, and he sends out jolteon lol

only thing that bugged me, otherwise i enjoyed it a lot, especially of the course the way the battle turned on that pivotle paralysis. i like the simple format, though i do enjoy little pretty pictures... but im greedy. would definitely read more.
