WARSTORY: Scarlet Spyder vs. leona0000

I was looking to test out some kinks in my new team and Gamefaqs battlers sucked. So, I decided to up the skill level and challenge someone on Smogon. I went to the "Battle Me Thread IV" and quickly found an opponent; his went by leona0000. I quickly found him on Wi-fi and the battle began. However, network errors after the 2nd or 3rd turn made us battle again.

I created this story because I thought it would be entertaining to read due to some of the Pokemon used. Also, it was a very intense match.

Our Teams (In order of appearance):

Kon sent out Bronzong!
Leona sent out Smeargle!

Crap...I know a Spore is coming, but I can't do much about it. Oh well, let's see where this takes me..

Smeargle used Spore!
Bronzong is fast asleep.

zZzz..Because I got 3 turns in before errors, I remember Smeargle has Stealth Rock. Knowing Bronzong can't do crap, I switch.

Kon switched Bronzong for Gallade
Smeargle used Stealth rock
Pointed Stones floated around the opponent's field!

Stealth Rock doesn't do much to my team, but can be annoying nontheless. Later, it will actually aid my strategy but for now its nothing big.

Smeargle used Endeavor! (1%)
Gallade used Night Slash! (80%)
Leftovers restored Gallade's HP a little.

That was very unexpected to say the least. I was expecting Transform, because he had used it the battle before.

Smeargle used Endeavor (80%)
Gallade used Night Slash (20%)
Smeargle Fainted!
Leftovers restored Gallade's HP a little.

6-5

I didn't want to risk losing a valuable Pokemon, and Gallade was the best candidate to take the 80% hit. Its okay though, I got rid of that stupid Smeargle. Gallade is just about useless by now with its low HP. Still not in a very good situation, but lets play it out.


Leona sent out Scizor!

Kon withdrew Gallade!
Kon sent out Vaporeon!
Pointed Stones dug into Vaporeon (12.5%)
Scizor used Quick Attack! (20%)
Scizor takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Leftovers restored Vaporeon's HP a little.

The second I saw Scizor I thought Choice Band or Choice Scarf. If he was running anything Baton Pass, I'd say it would be on his Smeargle. So, i took the attack to be surprised by the Life Orb. I'll just sneak in a Wish as he tries to attack my Vaporeon.

Scizor used U-Turn! (50%)
Scizor takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Leona sent out Porygon-Z
Download raised its Attack!
Vaporeon used Wish!
Leftovers restored Vaporeon's HP a little.

Wow. That U-turn did quite the number on my Vaporeon. No worries I can heal off the damage through wish. I'm pretty relieved that its running Download and that it didn't work for him. Phew...

Vaporeon used Protect!
Porygon-z used Substitute (25%)
Vaporeon's wish came true!
Vaporeon regained HP (50%)
Leftovers restored Vaporeon's HP a little.

Wow. I can't believe it used Substitute! Who the hell uses Substitute on Porygon-Z? This guy...I was expecting a Thunderbolt but not a Sub! This could be disastrous. Perhaps he is trying to Sub+ Nasty Plot? I need to get rid of that sub.

Porygon-Z used Thunderbolt (80%)
Porygon-Z takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Vaporeon used Surf
Porygon-Z's substitute faded.
Leftovers restored Vaporeon's HP a little.

Blah. As much as I don't want Vaporeon to die, it can't do much anymore. Vaporeon could have done more, but it scouted 2 of my opponent's Pokemon. Best of all, I now know that Porygon-Z is life-orbed. Farewell friend. "No Sacrifice, no victory."

Porygon-Z used Tri-Attack (20%)
Porygon-Z takes Recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Vaporeon fainted!

5-5

We have the same number of Pokemon yet I feel at such huge disadvantage. I don't know how I am going to take down this mechanical beast. I decided to give my luck a shot and send out my sleeping iron bell.

Kon sent out Bronzong!
Porygon-Z used Thunderbolt (35%)
Porygon-Z takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Bronzong is fast asleep..
Leftovers restored Bronzong's HP a little.

Porygon-Z used Thunderbolt (35%)
Porygon-Z takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Bronzong is fast asleep..
Leftovers restored Bronzong's HP a little.

YOU SUCK BRONZONG! I'm going to take a huge dump in you after this battle (stupid toilet seat!). Those were my thoughts at the moment. Meh, sleep got the best of me, but at least Porygon-Z is whittling its HP away and its at a low 20% or so.

Porygon-Z used Thunderbolt (35%)
Porygon-Z takes Recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Bronzong fainted!

4-5

I am now down a Pokemon and I have no clue what he's carrying. I can't do much in this situation, so I decide to risk it all.

Kon sent out Ninjask!
Pointed stones dug into Ninjask (50%)

Ouch. I NEED him to switch. I literally put my hands together and prayed for a switch as he took his damn time deciding on what to do.

Leona withdrew Porygon-Z
Leona sent out Scizor!
Ninjask used Substitute!
Petaya Berry raised Ninjask's Special Attack!
Speed Boost raised Ninjask's Speed.

Yes!!!!!! However, there's still the chance of him having a brick (Special) wall to stop me. Step 1 complete.

Ninjask used Protect!
Scizor used Quick Attack!
Ninjask protected itself!
Speed Boost raised Ninjask's Speed.

Step 2 of my scheme. I have a feeling Quick Attack is gonna bite me in the ass later.

Scizor used Quick Attack!
Ninjask's sub faded...
Ninjask used Baton Pass!
Kon sent out Octillery!
Pointed Stones dug into Octillery (12.5%)

Score!!!! Haha. My Octillery is all set up, but he lost a sub in the process. Oh well, with +2 Speed Boosts he should outrun everything leona has.

Leona withdrew Scizor!
Leona sent out Milotic!
Octillery used Flamethrower (20%)
Octillery takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Milotic was burned!
Leftovers restored Milotic's HP a little.

Both a good and bad thing, I suppose. I got the burn (which could mean the difference in a KO or not) but I'm mad because Octillery is a time bomb that is bound to die, so I need to do as much damage possible all the time.

Octillery used Energy Ball (80%)
Octillery takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Milotic fainted!

4-4

Yessssss! I figured he doesn't have anything to take special hits too well, so it should be an easy game...until that damn Scizor shows up. Still, Octillery is at 65% health and wants to stay longer.

Leona sent out Swellow!

Swellow used Protect!
Octillery used Surf!
Swellow protected itself!
Flame Orb activates! Swellow was burned.
Swellow is hurt by its burn (10%)

....so? I chose surf because I saw the protect coming. Looking back now...I should have Ice beamed...Oh well, doesn't matter.

Octillery used Ice Beam (90%)
Octillery takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Swellow fainted!

4-3

I suppose its about time for that Scizor to attempt its Quick Attack kill. I'm confident my Octillery can survive, as it has a little over 50% health. Let's find out!

Leona sent out Scizor!

Scizor used Quick Attack! (32%)
Scizor takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Octillery used Flamethrower! (60%)
Octillery takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Scizor fainted!

4-2

Phew. I survived and was able to keep Octillery alive with 9 hit points. One shot left in its gun. Let's get a KO and hope that my 4 Pokemon can take on 1. I was thinking he'd send out his PZ for sacrifice but boy was I wrong.

Leona sent out Mamoswine!

Mamoswine used Ice Shard. (1%)
Octillery fainted!

3-2

................................lame. I can't believe it was carrying that. Damn you, you stupid mammoth!!!. I now look at my Pokemon (which I haven't done since I sent out Ninjask.). I have a weak Gallade, a doomed Ninjask, and whats this?!?! a Tangrowth at 100%!

Kon sent out Tangrowth!
Pointed Stones dug into Tangrowth (12.5%)

I look at Tangrowth's moves and decide what to do...whip, knock, leech, or..sleep!

Tangrowth used Sleep Powder!
Mamoswine is fast asleep..
Leftovers restored Tangrowth's HP a little.

Eat powder stupid mammoth!!!!. Sleep yoself till you freeze over AGAIN!. Muahaha. I figure that Mammoth had huge HP, so I decide to seed it.

Tangrowth used Leech Seed!
Mamoswine is fast asleep..
Leftovers restored Tangrowth's HP a little.
Leftovers restored Mamoswine's HP a little.
Mamoswine had its energy drained! (12%)

Yes! Stay asleep. Karma karma karma karma. I know Bronzong is smiling right now.

Tangrowth used Knock Off! (4%)
Tangrowth knocked off Mamoswine's leftovers!
Mamoswine is fast asleep....
Mamoswine had its energy drained! (12%)

Nothing left to do but whip that thing. Slap!!!!

Tangrowth used Power Whip! (80%)
Mamoswine Fainted!

3-1

Wow, that did a lot of damage...good job Tangrowth! Just when I was having fun, I realize he has a Porygon-Z left and I can't do jack shit about it. Blah. I lost hope.

Leona sent out Porygon-Z

Porygon-Z used Ice Beam (100%)
Porygon-Z takes recoil from Life Orb (10%)
Tangrowth fainted.

2-1

Ring-ring! My cell phone goes off. My brother asks me to do a quick errand and find his medical card. At this point I had forgotten that Porygon-Z was life-orbed. I take the DS with me so i can send in my Pokemon to get slaughtered (or so I thought).

Kon sent out Gallade!
Pointed stones dug into Gallade (6%)
Porygon-Z used Tri-Attack (10%)
Porygon-Z takes recoil from Life Orb (5%)
Gallade Fainted!
Porygon-Z fainted!

1-0
Kon wins!

Wow. I have my Ninjask in reserve and it won me the game! What a close game!!! If this game was not close, I would not have remembered it so vividly to write this warstory.

Props:
~My first Warstory
~Octillery for keeping me in the game by KO'ing 4 of leona's Pokemon
~The closest match I've ever had against anyone
~leona0000 for such an awesome match and giving me some info on his Pokemon

Slops:
~Bronzong. Did. Nothing. Good job taking a nap Bronzong. Perhaps you'll be awake next battle.
~Gallade should have gotten something Statused. Oh well.
~Me thinking I lost at the end because I forgot about Life Orb. LOL

Thanks for reading this and I hope it was an enjoyable read.
 
Good battle, and it was definantly interesting since neither of you used really popular standards. (Unless you count Bronzong, Milo, or Gallade.)

I lol'd when it got to the Octillery sweeping part. Good job on your first warstory. =)
 
heh, I liked the story, it showed off the potential of Octillery as a non-phazeable BP target, but Gallade didn't get to do much of what it SHOULD be used for, sadly. That is single or double-status. That's really it's only saving grace over using it instead of the glass cannon Medicham.

that being said. I carry Impish Leech Seed Tangelas in my Trade thread, *shameless plug* if you want to be kicking ass like scarlet spyder click the link and take a look! :D
 
Haha! I laughed out loud when Tangrowth slapped Mamoswine.

I love Tangrowth so much. Good warstory and props for using Octillery. Congrats on winning. Lucky ninjask xD
 
Great read. I see this is the team which you posted on the RMT forums not too long ago. Anyway I'm glad Octillery worked well for you, although it goes to show that even without Nasty Plot, PorygonZ is still a huge threat to any team.
 
I like it, I like it. Non-Standars Forever!

It was a bit odd that Tangrowth was faster than Mamoswine... Avalanche Mamoswine, maybe?
 
Lol, Bronzong does look like a toilet seat.

I take the DS with me so i can send in my Pokemon to get slaughtered (or so I thought).

Kon sent out Gallade!
Pointed stones dug into Gallade (6%)
Porygon-Z used Tri-Attack (10%)
Porygon-Z takes recoil from Life Orb (5%)
Gallade Fainted!
Porygon-Z fainted!

You were lucky you decided to send in Gallade to get killed first instead of Ninjask. If you had sent Ninjask first, it would've died to Stealth Rock and the battle would've ended in a tie. I say you're lucky because you stated you forgot about life orb and might have decided to send in Ninjask first.
 
first off, thank you scarlet spider for making a warstory for our really close battle.
Nice warstory, I think I battled that Smeargle,Scizor, and Swellow, too. I liked the pokemon used on both teams. Nice job!
i think we battled before. was it 3v3?

I like it, I like it. Non-Standars Forever!

It was a bit odd that Tangrowth was faster than Mamoswine... Avalanche Mamoswine, maybe?
my mamoswine knew roar. i was trying to roar shuffle, since i know he still has a ninjask left and wanted to kill it.
 
Haha, awesome use of Octillery. The octopus is one of my all time favourites. I'm considering making a UU/BL team using an Agility/Nasty Plot Ambipom passing to Octillery for some major sweepage.
 
Props
-To you, for using a badass team. Take out Vaporeon's boring ass and we're on to something!

Slops
-To you, for quoting the crappy Transformers movie. *still can't get over how bleh it was*

All in all though, it was a good read.
 
Good warstory. However, the narration could have used a little more "pizzazz."
Other than that, though, good battle you had there! It was very close, and your sweeping Octillery was awesome.
 
Wow, great story. I LOL'D hard at the bronzong comment (it was completely out of left field..), and again when Octillery took out 4 pokes. Amazing. I never would have thought old octillery had it in him.
 
Wow nice story. I think Octillery will be something to look out for when it gets a
Batton Pass (Which it should to be very effective in a battle).
 
Awesome! That was great warstory: it was a close battle, you both were good battlers, and you both used cool Pokémon. I loved how you pulled off an Octillery sweep (I was thinking, what is Octillery doing there?) and your Tangrowth was awesome, no question. Sadly, I don't have a desire to get one like everyone else, but I still loved this warstory.
 
I'm actually studying this warstory and others like it while revamping my team....though maybe I should wait till I've beaten the game on Diamond.
