exciting match against Noddy (shoddy)

Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause

T’was a hot summer’s day in the land that was shod. You could taste the moisture that was in the air, so overwhelming you almost don’t notice the crickets. Almost. On the grass fields next to the lake was animenagai, chewing a piece of wheat he found on e-bay. Some say that it was a waste of money, animenagai says it’s an investment. You can’t put a price on looking sexy. A wind blew and swayed his hair forming a perfect twirl on that perfect forehead. A wind that was not of the summer breeze. From a distance a young man walks towards animenagai with 50 industrial fans on his back. Some call it a waste of money, noddy calls it an investment. Both trainers called it a duel.

Notty sent out Serenade (lvl 100 Roserade ?).
animenagai sent out Gallade (lvl 100 Gallade ?).

roserade huh? My poke-savvy tells me that roserades always induce sleep. Gallade doesn’t have anything that’s super effective against grass, nor the speed to hit it first. Time to switch out.

animenagai switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Serenade used Sleep Powder.
Blissey fell asleep!
---

it was probably predictable, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad move. I’ll stay in just to see what he switches to.

Notty switched in Cascade (lvl 100 Azumarill ?).
Blissey is fast asleep!
---

azumarill huh? The standard set has focus punch on it. Let’s save poor blissey from this barbarian.

animenagai switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
Cascade used Substitute.
Cascade lost 25% of its health.
Cascade made a substitute!
Cascade's leftovers restored its health a little!
Cascade restored 6% of its health.
---

o poopstain. So at least I got it half right. It does want to focus punch me. I have a feeling that gengar will get 2HKO’d with waterfall and aqujet. Switchywitchy.

animenagai switched in Forretress (lvl 100 Forretress ?).
Cascade used Aqua Jet.
Forretress lost 16% of its health.
Cascade's leftovers restored its health a little!
Cascade restored 6% of its health.
Forretress's leftovers restored its health a little!
Forretress restored 6% of its health.
---

I can’t switch into salamence because of ice punch so I went to forry. I’ll break the sub with my super awesome gyroball powers.

Cascade is tightening its focus!
Forretress used Gyro Ball.
It's not very effective...
The substitute took damage for Cascade!
Cascade used Focus Punch.
Forretress lost 35% of its health.
Cascade's leftovers restored its health a little!
Cascade restored 6% of its health.
Forretress's leftovers restored its health a little!

---

aiya! No sub-breaking la! I knew it wasn’t very effective but I forgot that azumarill’s slow. O well, this one will do it.

Cascade is tightening its focus!
Forretress used Gyro Ball.
It's not very effective...
The substitute took damage for Cascade!
Cascade used Focus Punch.
Forretress lost 39% of its health.
Cascade's leftovers restored its health a little!
Cascade restored 6% of its health.
Forretress's leftovers restored its health a little!
Forretress restored 6% of its health.
---

or not. Buttmonkeys, forry can’t take another hit. I don’t want to switch in risking a big hit, so I guess I’ll just do this…

Cascade is tightening its focus!
Forretress used Explosion.
The substitute took damage for Cascade!
Cascade's substitute faded!
animenagai's Forretress fainted.
5-6 animenagai.

Ha! Eat that stupid sub! Wait a minute… did I just sacrifice my forry leaving azumarill with 100% life? Silly lefties. Something tells me that’s not a good start.

Cascade used Focus Punch.
But there was no target!
Cascade's leftovers restored its health a little!
Cascade restored 0% of its health.
---

ha! Who’s looking silly now, punching their imaginary friend? Or imaginary enemy. What’s that? Still me? Curse you poke-intelligence!

animenagai switched in Gallade (lvl 100 Gallade ?).

I didn’t want to get gallade wasted switching into something as strong as azumarill, esp not with a sub up. At least now it’s a safe switch.

Gallade used Thunder Wave.
Cascade is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Cascade used Body Slam.
Gallade lost 51% of its health.
Gallade's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gallade restored 6% of its health.
---

aiya. I thought he might switch out fearing a thunder punch or something. Guess not. I have more than 51% health with lefties, so maybe with some luck I can still 2HKO this thing.

Gallade used Close Combat.
Cascade lost 65% of its health.
Gallade's defence was lowered.
Gallade's special defence was lowered.
Cascade used Body Slam.
A critical hit!
Gallade lost 55% of its health.
animenagai's Gallade fainted.
Cascade's leftovers restored its health a little!
Cascade restored 6% of its health.
---

ok guess not. This pissed me off. On hindsight, I should have really just went with close combat in the first place. I guess t-wave wasn’t a horrible decision but it surelooks that way on the scoreboard. Man, gallade’s just so important to the team. Me deeply saddened.

4-6 animenagai.

animenagai switched in Salamence (lvl 100 Salamence ?).
Salamence's intimidate cut Cascade's attack!

Maybe this will finally end azumarill’s rampage. It’ll probably switch out. Too early to DD though. Earthquake would be great for type coverage, but that thing might just stay in so maybe I’ll go with the STAB dragon claw.

Salamence used Dragon Claw.
Cascade lost 41% of its health.
Notty's Cascade fainted.
Salamence lost 10% of its health.
---

animenagai 4-5.

I must be psychic! Hollywood glory here I come!

Notty switched in Edge (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Edge is exerting its pressure!

ARGH weavile. Obviously can’t stay in with ice shard/punch. Too bad forry’s dead or I’ll switch into him. Gengar would just be asking for it against a weavile so that’s no good, but blissey could get destroyed by brick break too. I’ll have to take a chance with my mamoswine and 252 HP EV’s.

Edge used Pursuit.
Salamence lost 82% of its health.
animenagai switched in Mamoswine (lvl 100 Mamoswine ?).
---

PURSUIT? O the evil mada hamba! 82% damage? At this point in time, I was really just too thick to realize that this thing was choice banded. I guess it didn’t make a difference though, I was gambling anyways. Can’t hit weavile with ice, so let’s go with EQ.

Notty switched in Polaris (lvl 100 Starmie).
Mamoswine used Earthquake.
Polaris lost 100% of its health.
Notty's Polaris fainted.
---

4-4 animenagai.

BWAHAHAHAH!! I looooooove my CB mamoswine! 591 attack with ice and ground STAB (the two most useful imo), mamoswine, you are a BEAST!

Notty switched in Cross (lvl 100 Heracross ?).

Close combat can end mamo’s fun right here. I’ll switch to salamence as death fodder. It only has 8% left.

animenagai switched in Salamence (lvl 100 Salamence ?).
Salamence's intimidate cut Cross's attack!
Cross used Stone Edge.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Salamence lost 8% of its health.
animenagai's Salamence fainted.
---

3-4 animenagai.

It must have been expecting a gengar switch-in. it still worked for him though. Right now I’m in a bit of a pickle. I have gengar, blissey and mamoswine left and though they all have full HP, all of them can be OHKO’d by heracross. Guess I don’t really have a choice but to out speed it.

animenagai switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).

I have nothing that can kill this thing with one hit. My only chance is to try and sleep it with hypnosis. If this freaking 70% accuracy BS chooses to walk aways from me, I’ve lost.

Gengar used Hypnosis.
Cross fell asleep!
Cross is fast asleep!
---

ha, I knew it all along! Really. No really. Ok maybe I was praying for a bit there, glad it came through for me. I hate depending on such an inaccurate move when the game’s on the line. What I would do if I was notty right now is switch into weavile. It can take anything gengar can throw at him and kill it instantly with pursuit. I have to be one step ahead of him.

Notty switched in Edge (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Edge is exerting its pressure!
animenagai switched in Mamoswine (lvl 100 Mamoswine ?).
---

is that left or is THAT’S RIGHT? Man even typing that out makes me lose 50 coolness points. To myself. Yes, I grade myself constantly with coolness points. Anyways! Notty can either hit me with brick break or switch out. EQ wouldn’t do much on heracross and avalanche may still kill weavile if I’m hit first. Plus, the reason that I have mamoswine is that 70% of sweepers (esp physical ones) are either weak to ice or ground. I have a I have a feeling ice will hit whatever’s coming in hard if it’s not heracross because weavile’s already ground weak.

Notty switched in Cross (lvl 100 Heracross ?).
Mamoswine used Avalanche.
Cross lost 70% of its health.
---

70%? That surprised me. I mamoswine’s attack is off the charts, but this avalanche’s not boosted. It does have STAB I guess so I should really just pretend that I’m not surprised at all. But I’m not anti-cool like that. Anyways, this thing’s asleep so I’ll just finish it off.

Cross is fast asleep!
Mamoswine used Avalanche.
Cross lost 30% of its health.
Notty's Cross fainted.
---

3-3.

Notty switched in Serenade (lvl 100 Roserade ?).

Well blow me down, something that resists earth but eats ice hard. Tell me that mamoswine isn’t a monster in this metagame. Or maybe someone needs to remind me that roserade was noddy’s lead and I should really remember it instead of acting all knowledgeable. This thing can OHKO mamoswine and I can’t switch to ice shard, so it’s time to switch out.

animenagai switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Serenade used Leaf Storm.
Blissey lost 29% of its health.
Serenade's special attack was harshly lowered.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
---

at this point I sort of want to switch in gengar but I know roserade has sleep powder. My blissey doesn’t have aromatherapy and mamoswine needs switching for it to work its magic (choice item). I’ll just have to scout a bit and get that lefties gain.

Blissey used Protect.
Blissey protected itself!
Serenade used Leaf Storm.
Blissey protected itself!
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
---

wait, leafstorm again? I would never have used that move. It takes off a lot of firepower and even if it was expecting mamoswine, it should sleep powder it. Noddy’s not stupid and he’s pulled some great moves on me before. The only explanation to this is that roserade has a choice item. Probably a scarf. Maybe I should have realized that 5 years ago. Maybe I’m just too demanding. Maybe I’m just like my father. Maybe that means I have a safe switch to gengar.

animenagai switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
Serenade used Leaf Storm.
It's not very effective...
Gengar lost 35% of its health.
Serenade's special attack was harshly lowered.
---

my heart is really beating at this point because I realize how important this next series of events is. me bringing out gengar should once again mean weavile coming out. I have to play this next few turns perfectly.

Serenade used Leaf Storm.
Serenade's attack missed!
Gengar used Hypnosis.
Gengar's attack missed!
---

I was kinda pissed that hypnosis missed, but in hindset, this could be the best thing that could’ve happened. Because of sleep clause, I can only sleep either roserade OR weavile. I have blissey for roserade but nothing for weavile. I can’t outrun anything with mamoswine either so trying to switch it into weavile is suicide. Noddy knows all of this of course, there’s a reason he stayed in. I’ll just play along for the while.

Serenade used Leaf Storm.
It's not very effective...
Gengar lost 20% of its health.
Serenade's special attack was harshly lowered.
Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Serenade lost 60% of its health.
---

I can kill roserade with the next hit. Leafstorm never really threatened me. Noddy also has one more mystery pokemon up his sleeve. He can very well be sacrificing roserade for a safe switch. My gut tells me though that’s just what he wants me to think. Noddy seems like he enjoys trying outsmarting his opponents. I’ll go with my gut, if roserade stays in, game over.

Notty switched in Edge (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Edge is exerting its pressure!
Gengar used Hypnosis.
Edge fell asleep!
---

YES! Yes! Yes! i don’t believe I called it right! All those poker free rolls must have helped my prediction XD. I can switch out to mamoswine now, but if weavile wakes up soon-ish, let’s just say lightning doesn’t strike twice.

Edge is fast asleep!
Gengar used Thunderbolt.
Edge lost 51% of its health.
---
Edge is fast asleep!
Gengar used Thunderbolt.
Edge lost 49% of its health.
Notty's Edge fainted.
---

animenagai 3-2.

i still don’t believe I called that right. I thought noddy might have switched out there to get sleep clause on his side, but I guess he didn’t want to risk taking a hit.

Notty switched in Serenade (lvl 100 Roserade ?).

Can’t outrun ‘em. Time to scat.

animenagai switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Serenade used Sleep Powder.
Blissey fell asleep!
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
---

what I expected. I have no reason to switch out, roserade can’t touch me anyways. Let’s just see what happens.

Notty switched in Wildfire (lvl 100 Infernape ?).
Blissey is fast asleep!
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
---

uh oh. Mixape. Mix-freaking-ape. This thing can take down my entire team. Gengar’s low on life, blissey can get hit by close combat and mamoswine has NO chance on a switch. Flamethrower, grass knot and close combat all OHKO’s it. I thought about this for like a minute or two and as painful as it is, I have to sacrifice my blissey with all that life left.

Blissey is fast asleep!
Wildfire used Stone Edge.
A critical hit!
Blissey lost 80% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
---

huh, stone edge? That’s not standard. Guess it’s not too unusual either though. Doesn’t make too much of a difference, it can still sweep my team regardless what brand it is. crit means nothing either, it’s a sacrifice.

Blissey is fast asleep!
Wildfire used Stone Edge.
Blissey lost 22% of its health.
animenagai's Blissey fainted.
---

2-2.

this match is freaking intense! The only thing I can do right now is pray for hypnosis to hit. Again. With 70% accuracy and the game on the line. Again.

animenagai switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
Gengar used Hypnosis.
Wildfire fell asleep!
Wildfire is fast asleep!
---

YES! man that thing’s crazy today! Time to finish this guy off.

Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Wildfire lost 67% of its health.
Wildfire is fast asleep!

Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Wildfire lost 33% of its health.
Notty's Wildfire fainted.

animenagai 2-1.

Notty switched in Serenade (lvl 100 Roserade ?).

Can’t switch, so I’ll have to take the hit.

Serenade used Leaf Storm.
It's not very effective...
Gengar lost 45% of its health.
animenagai's Gengar fainted.
Serenade's special attack was harshly lowered.

1-1

Notty: gg

GG? Damn right but I have a feeling that noddy think he’s won.

animenagai switched in Mamoswine (lvl 100 Mamoswine ?).
Mamoswine used Ice Shard.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Serenade lost 40% of its health.
Notty's Serenade fainted.
animenagai wins!
animenagai: gg
Notty has left the room.

Maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t happen to use ice shard before the final hit XD. Notice that I waited till until I won to say gg for extra jackass like coolness points. 40 coolness points for me. Almost the same amount I lost. Almost. Or maybe I just want to think that i crushed his hopes right in the end when he knew exactly what was going on and was just being polite 0.o


Props to:

Noddy for an AMAZING game. He really played quite well and could’ve easily won it.

The shoddy gods for making my hypnosis eerily on the money. It hit every time I really needed it to and missed the one time it couldn’t hit. If just one of them had gone differently, dare I say it, I would’ve lost.

My predictions coming through in the end.


Thumbs down for:

Me being silly and sacrificing both gallade and forry for next to no reason.

Noddy being completely screwed by hypnosis. If I cared about justice, I would feel sorry for him XD. JK I do, I’m sure we’ll have more epics in the future, noddy.

Me thinking I can pull of that poetic and somewhat cowboy shoot off like narration just to change it after 2 paragraphs. Not too bad fir a first warstory I hope.

me for thinking that weavile was some how weak to ground.

me calling notty 'noddy' all warstory and not being bothered to change it all.

me for making so many f***ups in this warstory
 
yah - i also enjoyed reading it too!
though there were many mis-predictions concerning noddy/notty's next move. keep up the good work!
 
I liked the introduction. Then you went to Real Life talk after that in the battle, talking about the game as if it wasn't make believe, ;[.

The battle was long and rather solid.

I enjoyed it, well done!
 
It was enjoyable.

It looks like you did not know that Roserade is not grass only but grass/poison and therefore is weak to psy attacks (if you had any on gallame) and not resistant to ground attacks from Mamo.
 
Your prediction was awesome. Good thing you made those mistakes at the beginning, or else this wouldn't have been nearly as cool.
 
Poor Forry and Gallade, onwed by an Azumarill. Some mistakes here and there, but you managed to win thanks to Hypnosis and your luck with low accuracy moves. Enjoyable warstory.
 
That fortress mistake was bad, it would have been the perfect time to set up while he's punching you. Also if you didn't CC, you could have survived an extra hit from azu and kill it.

Bad at the start but you did make up for it with multiple hypnosis(don't get why he didn't switch...)
 
thanks for the compliment guys. first warstory ever ;) . yeah that forry mistake was bad. obviously i wasn't aiming to leave azu with no sub but full life when i switched it in. since i hit the sub, i didn't get the damage calcs, which might have smacked me back into reality. stealth rock would've been HUGE too, since his spinner got OHKO.

It was enjoyable.

It looks like you did not know that Roserade is not grass only but grass/poison and therefore is weak to psy attacks (if you had any on gallame) and not resistant to ground attacks from Mamo.

man, i really need to get these basics down. poison is a bit of a rare type. both gengar and roserade (the most common of the type) are so fragile as well. i've only been playing this for about 3 months, so i do have a few brain farts 0.o . gallade didn't have psychocut btw.

t-wave
CC
night slash
stone edge
 
I remember that. That was a fun match!

Also, in a bit of a noob moment, I have to reveal the reason I said GG at the Roserade/Gengar moment was because I completely forgot you had Mamoswine. I was caught up in the moment and thought Gar was your last Pokemon.

Oops. ;;>.>

And yeah, I run a heavy Choiced team. Scarf Roserade, Band Heracross, Infernape and Weavile. Starmie spins, and Azumarill just because I like Azumarill.

lol notty! i thought this may happen. i'm sorry that i didn't ask you before making this warstory, i was so caught up in the moment myself. it really was a good one. hope i did your side of the ball justice.

4 choice items on your team?? my rule is no more than one per team XD. i guess it's completelt different when you actually plan a team around choice items though. apples and oranges. btw, why does azumarill have body slam? what's the point? i recommend ice punch instead.

Probably because Water/Normal is good coverage, and it has a 30% paralyzes chance as well.
 
is it illegal? didn't know that. water/normal is good for hitting neutral i guess but you do already have focus punch. ice punch isn't on serebii's movelist but it is on shoddy. is it an egg move?

Ice Punch is an emerald tutor, while Aqua Jet is a d/p bred move, therebefore both of the moves are illegal.
 
Nice story. Kept me hooked. Now you lose 4000 coolness points for quitting on me.

Glad to see Garchumpless teams too =D
 
You left me to wait 5 mins =P

o dude, i'm sorry about that but trust me, it's not my fault. my computer, my internet in particular always disconnects and logs off shoddy. nights in new zealand are the worse because it's labeled the peak our and it just goes real slowly. in the end, i'm sorry that happened and i really hate to keep people waiting but i didn't do it on purpose.
 
I liked that battle a lot. A couple mistakes from both of you, but that's what makes it interesting right? I loved the commentary as well. Hope to see another one from you soon!
