Hey Smogon-ers, this is my (Earthworm's) first warstory... I had 3 other potential warstories planned but if you don't like this one I probably won't post them 
Please comment though, I read other warstories and read their comments before posting mine and then tried to make mine a similar style... Enjoy :nerd:
I had just reached the top 10 on the Shoddy Leaderboard for the first time since I had left it and #1 for more team testing. I decide I might as well try to reach the top of the bunch of 1640s, including big names such as husk's and Aeroblacktyl's alternate names. I hit the Find Match button with my latest team that seems to work alright and come up against KO_King, someone who has posted about as much as me here on Smogon (I think).
Looking forward to a good battle, I put on my prediction cap. Our teams are as follows, in order of appearance. My team's moves/members are in red, KO_King's are in blue, chat is black and commentary is green.

OK… That doesn’t tell me much, since a lot of BOAH variants run Crunch over Dark Pulse anyway. I’ll just assume that it is CBTar for now and Sub, although I’m taking a gamble on the fact that he isn’t a DDTar or a TTar with both Crunch and Earthquake. That and the fact that he is probably worrying about me using my own Earthquake make it fairly obvious what he will do next, but I don’t want to overpredict…

Yeah. Since Tyranitar is asleep and he hasn’t seen my own Heatran, I think he will use Fire Blast. Since that has 85 acc (less in Sandstorm vs Garchomp) and is NVE on Scarfchomp, I think its time I bring out my ‘ChainChompv2’.
Earthworm switched in Dangan (lvl 100 Garchomp ?).
Galactus used Fire Blast.
Galactus's attack missed!
I don’t know if that is a good or a bad thing… I still don’t know what his damn item is. It could be Life Orb for all I know, since both of the moves he’s used have missed! Deciding not to predict in case of overprediction, I release one of Garchomp’s feared EQs right off the bat.
KO_King switched in Drake (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).

I saw that coming. I can’t do much now… Gliscor will take on anything but Ice Beam from Tyranitar or Draco Meteor from Garchomp… And since Tyranitar is asleep, I’m guessing Garchomp is my best bet. Time to do a switch-out/switch-in… But KO_King isn’t about to let me take free turns.
Earthworm switched in Densetsu (lvl 100 Lucario ?).
KO_King switched in Galactus (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Alright, I definitely outspeed Heatran but he will know this and send out Gliscor again. I probably should have switched back to Garchomp but I didn’t want to risk getting DPulsed.

I would’ve liked to have woken up and then switched to Garchomp and switched back, Ice Beam his sleeping Gliscor and then destroyed Heatran, but a one turn wake up isn’t exactly likely (with my luck anyway). Hopefully he will predict a Garchomp switch-in. Lucario would love to switch in on DPulse or HP Ice but I’m not going to risk that, since I might be forced to stay in with Garchomp after I finish his Gliscor with Meteor.

Lucario can’t do anything to Gliscor and it will certainly wake up and be able to Ice Fang Garchomp by the time Lucario wastes itself Crunching for Def drops. So I decide to hang around and hope he stays asleep. Unfortunately Gliscor is awakened by the heavy hit Garchomp lands, which is quickly Roosted off. I have pretty much given up now, even though I probably should have switched in Lucario. I continue my Outrage, hoping for a critical hit or something… Which was, I must admit, kind of silly of me.

As you can see from the post-battle chat, KO_King's Heatran bested mine by a difference of 1 speed... and maybe my Tyranitar bested his by something similar.
Great game KO_King, I won't make the same mistakes next time
.
Props:
*Celebi for taking out Gyarados and forcing a number of crucial switches/breaking substitutes+scouting with U-Turn.
*Gengar for giving me a better chance against Gliscor and taking out Azelf.
*Tyranitar for Focus Punching first.
*Garchomp for being dangerous and threatening (although I could've predicted a bit better) and taking out Breloom.
Slops:
*Me sacrificing Celebi to keep the 'useless-while-Gliscor-is-around' Lucario.
*Me unnecessarily sacrificing Scarfgar even after Tyranitar had used Substitute.
*Heatran for being 1 speed too slow.
*Lucario for doing nothing! D: (Although I have swept entire teams with SDPriority Lucario before >.>)

Excellent, a single Grass Knot breaks one of his Substitutes… That means he is running speed over HP EVs. I might as well Grass Knot again… I suppose Heatran will show its ugly mug again.

Yeah. Since Tyranitar is asleep and he hasn’t seen my own Heatran, I think he will use Fire Blast. Since that has 85 acc (less in Sandstorm vs Garchomp) and is NVE on Scarfchomp, I think its time I bring out my ‘ChainChompv2’.
Earthworm switched in Dangan (lvl 100 Garchomp ?).

Galactus's attack missed!
I don’t know if that is a good or a bad thing… I still don’t know what his damn item is. It could be Life Orb for all I know, since both of the moves he’s used have missed! Deciding not to predict in case of overprediction, I release one of Garchomp’s feared EQs right off the bat.
KO_King switched in Drake (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).

…Or OHKO. Looks like he was running Waterfall/Earthquake. Here comes Heatran once more. I think he might Fire Blast but my 270 speed Heatran and Scarfchomp together, plus my super sweeping Lucario should easily be able to finish off the team with Gyarados out of the way, and I don’t want to risk losing one of those.

Oh. I didn’t even notice the Life Orb. I could have easily brought in Garchomp for a semi-riskless EQ but instead I wasted my best chance at winning. What a terrible mistake
. Well now I know he has Life Orb, Earth Power, Fire Blast, and between 271 and 278 speed, less than both Lucario and Garchomp.Earthworm switched in Dangan (lvl 100 Garchomp ?).
KO_King switched in Sting (lvl 100 Gliscor ?).

I saw that coming. I can’t do much now… Gliscor will take on anything but Ice Beam from Tyranitar or Draco Meteor from Garchomp… And since Tyranitar is asleep, I’m guessing Garchomp is my best bet. Time to do a switch-out/switch-in… But KO_King isn’t about to let me take free turns.
Earthworm switched in Densetsu (lvl 100 Lucario ?).
KO_King switched in Galactus (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Alright, I definitely outspeed Heatran but he will know this and send out Gliscor again. I probably should have switched back to Garchomp but I didn’t want to risk getting DPulsed.

Alright… I’m expecting him to stay in thinking I’m going to Outrage… But that is only a 3HKO on max/max +def Gliscor. I don’t think he will be asleep for that long, so I have to go for the 2HKO off my DM.

I would’ve liked to have woken up and then switched to Garchomp and switched back, Ice Beam his sleeping Gliscor and then destroyed Heatran, but a one turn wake up isn’t exactly likely (with my luck anyway). Hopefully he will predict a Garchomp switch-in. Lucario would love to switch in on DPulse or HP Ice but I’m not going to risk that, since I might be forced to stay in with Garchomp after I finish his Gliscor with Meteor.

The sleeping Tyrant falls and I send in Scarfchomp expecting Heatran to switch since it could take on a weakened DM later.. But KO_King doesn’t seem to care as Gliscor can easily take care of things once it wakes up. The next move is another mistake, I should have sent Lucario in to finish Heatran instead.

Lucario can’t do anything to Gliscor and it will certainly wake up and be able to Ice Fang Garchomp by the time Lucario wastes itself Crunching for Def drops. So I decide to hang around and hope he stays asleep. Unfortunately Gliscor is awakened by the heavy hit Garchomp lands, which is quickly Roosted off. I have pretty much given up now, even though I probably should have switched in Lucario. I continue my Outrage, hoping for a critical hit or something… Which was, I must admit, kind of silly of me.

As you can see from the post-battle chat, KO_King's Heatran bested mine by a difference of 1 speed... and maybe my Tyranitar bested his by something similar.
Great game KO_King, I won't make the same mistakes next time
.Props:
*Celebi for taking out Gyarados and forcing a number of crucial switches/breaking substitutes+scouting with U-Turn.
*Gengar for giving me a better chance against Gliscor and taking out Azelf.
*Tyranitar for Focus Punching first.
*Garchomp for being dangerous and threatening (although I could've predicted a bit better) and taking out Breloom.
Slops:
*Me sacrificing Celebi to keep the 'useless-while-Gliscor-is-around' Lucario.
*Me unnecessarily sacrificing Scarfgar even after Tyranitar had used Substitute.
*Heatran for being 1 speed too slow.
*Lucario for doing nothing! D: (Although I have swept entire teams with SDPriority Lucario before >.>)
Thanks for reading, hope it was enjoyable and not too long
