Yes, it's another Shoddy battle. It was really fun for me, so I figured, eh, I'll make a warstory. Teams are aren't in order of appearance, except for the starters. Also, I don't know Fishak's gender, so I'll just say "he" when referring to him.
My team:
His(or her) team:
Masock sent out Ninjask!
Fishak sent out Electivire.
The battle starts, and both battlers send out their Pokémon. Mine is a speedy ninja beetle, and his is a large and furry (albeit electric) humanoid.
.....Oh, dear. Ninjask will die to a Thunderpunch, so I'll have to Baton Pass. But first, a good protect to get that lovely Speed Boost.
claudeswares has entered the room.
Ninjask used Protect.
Ninjask protected itself!
Electivire used Thunderpunch.
Ninjask protected itself!
Ninjask's Speed Boost raised its speed!

What? It's true.
Ninjask used Baton Pass.
Dragonite's speed was raised.
Masock switched in Dragonite.
Electivire used Thunderpunch.
Critical hit!
Dragonite lost 110% of its health.
Masock's Dragonite fainted.
Drat! Cursed critical hits. Right now I have no idea what to use to counter this beast, so I'll try my Mix/phys/spectile. Yeah, it's a weird one.
Masock: curse you critical hit
Fishak: that was lucky
It was indeed, considering Shoddy's higher crit rate though.
Masock switched in Sceptile.
Electivire used Thunderpunch.
It's not very effective...
Sceptile lost 49% of its health.
Wow, another Thunderpunch? I was expecting an Earthquake.
Sceptile used Leaf Storm.
Electivire lost 77% of its health.
Sceptile's special attack was harshly lowered.
I really like Leaf Storm. The rest of my Sceptile's moves are actually physical, so I can use it once without worrying about the repercussions.
Masock: darn, i hate that -2 for sp.atk
Masock: now i can't use him
I'm not very proud of this part. I tried to trick him and get him to switch because he might have thought I would switch next.
Electivire used Thunderpunch.
It's not very effective...
Sceptile lost 53% of its health.

Ampharos used Fire Punch.
Electivire lost 23% of its health.

Masock: why not just cross chop?
Fishak: choice band
Masock: aaah
Masock: that makes sense
Just confirming.
Fishak switched in Arcanine.
Should I switch to Vaporeon? Hmm, no, think I'll set up first.
Arcanine lost 10% of its health.

Oh, I really like Static. It's useful for setting up when the other guy can't do anything about it.I used Rain Dance to hinder his Fire Attacks, boost whatever Water attack I might use against him, and increase Thunder's accuracy. 3 for 1.
Rain began to fall!

Whee, PorygonZ! I really love using this thing, especially when I can pass some speed to it. It's got Nasty Plot, Tri Attack, and BoltBeam.
Porygonz's Download raised its stats!
Porygonz's special attack was raised.
Another lucky break! I was hoping this would happen.
Starmie used Thunderbolt.

Arcanine used Extremespeed.
Porygonz lost 45% of its health.
