A battle of twists, turns and unnatural moves (warstory)

Posting that this was approved by Phuquoph.

So I was on the Shoddy Battle server, looking for someone to battle. I saw Jibaku's name under availible battlers, and seeing as he's good, I challenged him. He accepted, and it's on.

My team (in order of appearence):
Infernape, Blissey, Donphan, Garchomp, Bronzong, Gengar

His team (in order of appearence):
Swampert, Cresselia, Tyranitar, Forretress, Gliscor, Blissey

Rules:
Evasion Clause.
Freeze Clause.
OHKO Clause.
Sleep Clause.
Species Clause.
Jibaku sent out Swampert (lvl 100 Swampert ?).
freaktron sent out Infernape (lvl 100 Infernape ?).


Uh-oh. Swampert vs Infernape. This does not look like a favorable matchup on my part. But can I slam 'em right from the start?

Infernape used Grass Knot.
It's super effective!
Swampert lost 84% of its health.
Swampert used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
Swampert's leftovers restored its health a little!
Swampert restored 6% of its health.


Ohhhhhhhhhhh...not quite. I don't blame him for expecting me to switch-not when he has two SE STAB moves! You thought you could outsmart me like that? So he brings in...Cresselia? Trying to stop my Infernape? What do I do when I see Cresselia? Bring in Blissey and zap it, of course! So eventually, it's Tyranitar vs the big elephant...he's weak to EQ. Do I Spin, or try to slam him?

Jibaku switched in Swampert (lvl 100 Swampert ?).
Donphan used Earthquake.
Swampert lost 31% of its health.
Jibaku's Swampert fainted.
The sandstorm rages.


6-5 me

HIS Blissey comes in, and i'm thinking, does he have Ice Beam? Well, even if he does, I should survive it unless he freezes, and i'll be able to spin those rocks away. What have I got to lose?

Blissey used Thunderbolt.

Man. I'm actually predicting in this battle. I thought I would manage to survive Ice Beam, let alone absorbing an unexpected Thunderbolt. He must have Serene Grace...and if he were to abuse it, that would not be good. So where was I? Oh, right, I was going to use Stealth Rock...but not without taking quite a bit in the process. Let's see if I can scare it off...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ...Well, with that, we're jumping back and forth, anticipating eachother's moves, until the still-frozen piece of machinery is faced against his Blissey. (No need to mention that part, it's just a little switching on both sides, SR damage and Sandstorm) After taking a bit from his Blissey, he brings in Tyranitar to jaw down...

What else am I to do? I COULD have switched in Gengar, but then he'd obviously run off to Blissey. A slow, weakened Donphan isn't going to do much good.

freaktron: bah
freaktron: what else can i say


3-4 Jibaku

Well? What else can I say? My three other Pokes could easily be KO'd, except maybe Infernape who would still take a whopping even against an NVE move with that power, so I have no other choice. With that, in comes Garchomp, ready to rocket through again...

Okay, so I could have used Earthquake, but if I had he would most likely have brought in Gliscor, and again, none of my other Pokes could really switch in. That's why I used Outrage. And who else to wall Forretress cold but...

freaktron switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).

Not much was done to his Blissey. I didn't have much of a choice but to let Gengar drop, since I didn't want to switch in either of my two Pokes (Garchomp and Infernape, both of who had Choice items and were badly weakened). Just a few exhanges, weak HP Ice, Ice Beam, blah blah blah until Gengar goes down...yeah, let's skip that.

2-3 Jibaku

So let's bring in Garchomp and have it rocket one last time.

Come on, Infernape. Can you do it? Can you take out his last two Pokes without switching moves?

freaktron: close one
Jibaku: warstory it?


Final result: 1-0 me

Very close match that had me going on and off, and I liked it. Not much else to say here.

Props:
Garchomp for taking out half his team.
Infernape for finishing the job.
Jibaku for giving me a well-done match.
Me for actually doing some prediction in the beginning.
Again, Phuquoph for approving this...just making sure you know this was approved before it gets locked.

Slops:
Bronzong. You suck, for getting frozen and doing NOTHING.
His Blissey. Grrrrrrrr.
Gengar for not doing much.

So, yeah. I haven't posted a warstory in at least two years, and noone liked that one...what do 'yall think? Is it at least half-decent?
 
Nice warstory. pretty much came down to the wire at the end. I was sometimes confused though when you just made it so you said whatever they did and didn't go through it.
 
I can't actually post the entire log. Also:

So he brings in...Cresselia? Trying to stop my Infernape? What do I do when I see Cresselia? Bring in Blissey and zap it, of course! So eventually, it's Tyranitar vs the big elephant...he's weak to EQ.

Cresselia takes small damage from Grass Knot.
Blissey comes in and takes little from Psychic.
Cresselia uses Ice Beam for like no damage before being T-Waved.
THEN I bring in Donphan and he has Tyranitar.

...Well, with that, we're jumping back and forth, anticipating eachother's moves, until the still-frozen piece of machinery is faced against his Blissey. (No need to mention that part, it's just a little switching on both sides, SR damage and Sandstorm) After taking a bit from his Blissey, he brings in Tyranitar to jaw down...

That was just a few turns switching and such. No attacking or using any moves. I saw no reason to post that.

So there's more jumping, sandstorm raging, and what not...let's skip that. Eventually, the weakened Donphan is face-to-face with an angry scorpio...

After that turn, I just switched in Gengar on Forretress' Earthquake, then switched in Infernape anticipating him to switch, before I brought in Donphan.

...Yep. Eventually, he's met with my Blissey, who's met with Tyranitar, which takes a nasty T-Wave to the armor before going down.

The turn before that was just my Blissey switching into his using Softboiled. Yeah, I decided to fix and at least mention that.
