This is a battle between me and my good friend Marco. I've already beaten him in the past before and I thought it would be another easy match I could use to go higher in ladder. Turns out, I was wrong. This has been my closest battle EVER.

Isaac The Gallade sent out Bronzong
magicman sent out Sceptile
Isaac The Gallade switched in Kingdra
magicman switched in Heatran
Actually, we both knew our teams here so, I know the element of surprise is gone. I also know his Sceptile has HP Fire and he also knows my Zong can Trick Room. We both switch, but I have the advantage.
Heatran used Overheat.
It's not very effective...
Kingdra lost 33% of its health.

Machamp used Cross Chop.
Bronzong lost 45% of its health.
Machamp lost 10% of its health.
Bronzong used Trick Room.
Bronzong twisted the dimensions!

Isaac The Gallade: no, wasnt sarcastic
Isaac The Gallade switched in Wailord
Machamp used Rest.
Machamp fell asleep!
Machamp restored 10% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
I know his Champ is a Sleep-Talker, but I thought Wailord would be slower so he'd move first...

Isaac The Gallade: Muahahahaha!
Machamp is fast asleep!
Machamp used Sleep Talk.
Machamp used Cross Chop.

Isaac The Gallade: lol

Toxicroak used Brick Break.
It's not very effective...
Cresselia lost 21% of its health.
The twisted dimensions returned to normal!
The rain continues to fall.
Toxicroak soaked up rain!
Toxicroak restored 12% of its health.
I can't Sucker Punch yet, and I know his Cress doesn't have Ice Beam, so I stay in. Its also worth noting, in rain, Toxicroak recovers 18% health every turn, quite handy indeed.
Toxicroak used Swords Dance.
Toxicroak's attack was sharply raised.
Cresselia used Calm Mind.
Cresselia's special attack was raised.
Cresselia's special defence was raised.
The rain continues to fall.

Cresselia used Hidden Power.
Toxicroak lost 31% of its health.

Isaac The Gallade: You need more Sp Atk evs
Toxicroak used Stone Edge.
A critical hit!
Cresselia lost 111% of its health.
magicman's Cresselia fainted.
An unnescesarry Crit, nonetheless a KO. A Croak with +4 attack is really scary. Too bad his Gliscor is still alive. :(
5-5, Tied
magicman: NOT A SWEEPER
magicman switched in Heatran
Isaac The Gallade: Standard CM Cress caries that much
Isaac The Gallade switched in Politoed

Isaac The Gallade's Kingdra fainted.

Isaac The Gallade: >_<
magicman switched in Gliscor
Toxicroak used Sucker Punch.
But it failed!
The rain continues to fall.
Toxicroak soaked up rain!

Gliscor's attack missed!
The rain continues to fall.

Gliscor used Stone Edge.
It's not very effective...
Bronzong lost 7% of its health.

Isaac The Gallade: this could go either way
Isaac The Gallade: but gg nonetheless
Isaac The Gallade switched in Politoed.
Gliscor used Earthquake.
Politoed lost 40% of its health.
This was a risky situation. I know both Croak and Toed can take a hit but neither can OHKO Gliscor. Toed has a bigger chance though and I know its ousped. Fortunately for me, magicman doesn't know much about UU Pokemon, so I hope for the best and try to bluff to see if he'll buy it.
magicman switched in Starmie
Politoed used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...
Starmie lost 13% of its health.
At least I know he knows he thinks Toed outruns Gliscor. Hoping for a Recover, I switch in Croak.

Isaac The Gallade: Dry Skin?
Toxicroak used Sucker Punch.
It's super effective!
Starmie lost 211% of its health.

Here, I made a crucial mistake. Instead of just SDing another time to be able to finish Gliscor off with Sucker Punch, I Sucker Punch Starmie and am now in a very risky situation.
2-1, Isaac The Gallade
magicman switched in Gliscor

Slops:
-having so many crucial mistakes and battling quite badly
-Machamp for turning an easy 6-0 Sweep into a close 1-0 battle
-Sceptile for the Overgrow boost killing
-Kingdra for being a waste and not doing anything
-Wailord for being an even bigger waste and absolutely not helping

Unfortunately, I come short, leaving Gliscor with 3-7 or so percent of HP. I know Politoed is down to about 46% HP and an EQ can ultimately lead me to my loss. Suspense...
