My trade partner, johnxkid, and I were bored, so we decided to battle. We wanted to switch it up a bit, so we decided on UU. John's pretty good at UU, while I'm just getting into it. I expected to lose badly, but the battle actually turned out pretty cool, and for once, the hax were about even on both sides. I was inspired by Train Main's Wi-Fi Warstory, and there really aren't many Wi-Fi Warstories, so here's another. I hope you enjoy!

Now to the battle!

Jimbo sent out Rotom!
John sent out Venomoth!
Rotom used Thunderbolt! (~77% Damage)
Venomoth used Bug Buzz! It's not very effective. (~65% Damage)
Venomoth-27%, Rotom-35%

Fuck Tinted Lens. I'm not too familiar with Venomoth, so I wasn't sure how much damage it could do, I was glad it didn't 1HKO. Now I knew he would switch next turn because my Rotom was faster.

6-6

John called back Venomoth! John sent out Lanturn!
Rotom used Thunderbolt! Lanturn's Volt Absorb made Thunderbolt into HP!
Lanturn-100%, Rotom-35%

Damnit. From the last time we battled he did not have any Ground Type Pokemon on his team, nor did he have a Lanturn. I guess John got a new pokemon. My Rotom is scarfed, so I knew I had to switch, but I wasn't sure what to switch to...

Jimbo called back Rotom! Jimbo sent out Shuckle!
Lanturn used Hidden Power! (~7% Damage)
Shuckle's Leftovers restored HP.
Lanturn-100%, Shuckle-99%

I was really expecting Surf, I guess John did not expect a Shuckle. I knew I had enough HP to Stealth rock and Rest, then either stall out Lanturn or switch to something else.

Lanturn used Surf! Critical Hit! It's Super Effective! (~82% Damage)
Shuckle used Stealth Rock! Pointed Stones float around John's team!
Lanturn-100%, Shuckle-17%

Fuck I hate Critical Hits. Now my Shuckle is pretty much crippled, but at least I got Stealth Rocks up.

Jimbo called back Shuckle! Jimbo sent out Grumpig!
Lanturn used Surf! (~22% Damage)
Grumpig restored HP with Leftovers!
Lanturn-100%, Grumpig-78%

I knew Lanturn couldn't really break Grumpig, unfortunately John knew this was a CMPig.

John called back Lanturn! John sent out Walrein! Pointed stones dug into Walrein! (25% Damage)
Grumpig used Substitute!
Walrein restored health with leftovers!
Walrein-~81%, Grumpig-53%

Obviously he was going phaze me, so Calm Minding would be useless... I guess I could get a little damage in with Psychic...

Grumpig used Psychic! (~26% damage)
Walrein used Roar! Grumpig was roared away!
Jimbo sent out Pinsir!
Walrein-61%, Pinsir-100%

Yup, phazed. But at least I got my ScarfPinsir to scare away Walrein, I figured Close Combat would be a sufficient reason for Walrein to flee from my bug.

Pinsir used Earthquake! Critical Hit! (~60%)
Walrein used Ice Beam! (~59%)
Walrein-7%, Pinsir-41%

Fuck. I guess John knew I wouldn't use Close Combat, or he thought he would live and decided to Ice Beam anyway.

Walrein used Protect!
Pinsir used Earthquake! Walrein protected itself.
Walrein-13%, Pinsir-41%

>.>

Pinsir used Earthquake! (~24%)
John's Walrein fainted!
John sent out Pinsir!
Jimbo's Pinsir-41%, John's Pinsir-100%

Jimbo 6 - 5 John

Finally the giant Walrus goes down, but I get a carbon copy of my bug thrown in my face... Or so I thought.

Jimbo called back Pinsir! Jimbo sent out Cloyster!
Pinsir used Substitute!
Pinsir restored help using leftovers!
Pinsir-81%, Cloyster-100%

Shit, I've never seen a MoPPinsir, and and I knew it could possibly get three Swords Dances and sweep my team =/

Pinsir used Swords Dance!
Cloyster used Ice Beam!
Pinsir's Substitute faded.
Pinsir-87%, Cloyster-100%

Well now Pinsir is +2 Attack and I all I have in the way of a Pinsir sweep is my giant Vagina Clam.

Pinsir used Stone Edge! Pinsir's attack missed!
Cloyster used Ice Beam! (~54% Damage)
Pinsir-39%, Cloyster-100%

Arg. I don't really like when I get haxxed, but Stone Edge does miss a lot, I guess my giant Vagina Clam isn't so giant after all. I wasn't sure how much Stone Edge would do to Cloyster, but I did not want to let John get a sub up expecting me to switch.

Pinsir used Stone Edge! It's Super Effective! (~85% Damage)
Cloyster used Ice Beam! (~27% Damage)
John's Pinsir fainted!
Cloyster restored health using leftovers!
John sent out Electrode!
Cloyster-21%

Jimbo 6 - 4 John

Even though I'm winning, two of my main walls are crippled, as is Rotom, while Pinsir is low on health too. I knew Rotom would be faster than Electrode with its scarf, but I still wasn't sure how I'd take down the pokeball pokemon.

Electrode used Thunderbolt! (An insane amount of damage)
Jimbo's Cloyster fainted!
Jimbo sent out Shuckle
Electrode- 87%, Shuckle 100%

Jimbo 5 - 4 John

Well I knew Cloyster would get raped from Electrode, and without recovery it's basically useless, so I let it die. Out comes my other crippled wall, I figured it would die too...

Electrode used Thunderbolt (~9%)
Shuckle used Rest (Back to 100%)
Lanturn-100%, Shuckle- 100%

Wow. I was left with 7 HP : ] I was happy that Pinsir was dead because a sleeping shuckle (especially with no safe switches) Pinsir could've easily set up had it been alive.

John withdrew Electrode
John sent out Lanturn
Shuckle is fast asleep

Lanturn used Surf (40%)
Shuckle is fast asleep
Lanturn- 100%, Shuckle- 64%

Lanturn used Surf (42%)
Shuckle woke up! Shuckle used Knock Off (Minimal damage)
Lanturn's leftovers were knocked off
Lanturn- 99%, Shuckle- 28%

Lanturn used Surf
Shuckle fainted!
Lanturn- 99%

4 - 4

Damnit. I really could have switched out to Grumpig but I felt like I could use that later to protect against Electrode and his (then unknown) Blastoise... At least I was able to take Lanturn's recovery away for good.

Jimbo sent out Pinsir
Pinsir used Earthquake (98%)
Lanturn used Surf
Jimbo's Pinsir fainted
Lanturn- 1%

John 4 - 3 Jimbo

Fuck. Pinsir is extremely fail right there. But at least Lanturn is a sitting duck for Rotom.

Jimbo sent out Rotom
Rotom used Shadow Ball (Lanturn is blown into whale chowder)
Lanturn fainted
Rotom-35%

3 - 3

Alright, so the Electro-Whale is dead, I didn't think he had any walls left, so I felt like Scarf Rotom could actually win this for me.

John sent out Blastoise
Jimbo withdrew Rotom
Jimbo sent out Grumpig
Blastoise used Toxic
Grumpig is badly poisened!
Grumpig is hurt by its poisen!
Blastoise- 94%, Grumpig- 84%

Funny thing is, I knew he would Toxic me. For some odd reason I felt like he wouldn't think I would switch. I should've dented Blastoise with Shadow Ball and let Rotom died. Ahh well.

The next three turns are just me letting my Grumpig die while trying to get some kind of hax before the pig succumbed to its poisen.

Grumpig used Psychic (20%)
Blastoise used Rapid Spin (3%)
Blastoise- 80%, Grumpig- 73%

Grumpig used Psychic (22%)
Blastoise used Ice Beam (9%)
Blastoise- 64%, Grumpig- 50%

Grumpig used Psychic (19%)
Blastoise used Hidden Power (3%)
Grumpig fainted
Blastoise-51%

John 3 - 2 Jimbo

Alright, so Grumpig finally goes down, but it did it's job, it got Blastoise in killing range of my next pokemon (hopefully).

Jimbo sent out Dodrio
Dodrio used Return (51%)
Blastoise fainted
Dodrio 100%

2 - 2

Go go Dodrio! Return + Choice Band kills John's turtle. I was hoping John wouldn't send out Electrode yet, which I didn't think he would, because he thought my Dodrio was scarfed >:]

John sent out Venomoth
Venomoth used Hidden Power (82%)
Dodrio used Return (23%)
Venomoth fainted
Dodrio-18%

Jimbo 2 - 1 John

As I thought. Venomoth falls to the Hydra Bird.

John sent out Electrode
Electrode used Thunderbolt (18%)
Dodrio fainted
Electrode- 87%

1 - 1

By now it was obvious my Dodrio wasn't scarfed, but banded, so Electrode easily outsped and crushed Dodrio. It all came down to two electric types.

Jimbo sent out Rotom
Rotom used Shadow Ball (68%) Electrode's Special Defense was lowered!
Electrode used Mirror Coat (35%)
Jimbo's Rotom fainted!
Electrode-19%, Rotom- 0%

John wins! 1-0

Well I figured I needed hax, unforturnately I got the wrong time, but I was glad John won, and rightfully so. Rotom just didn't pack enough punch without Choice Specs or Life Orb. Heh if I would've used Trick John would've been screwed. Ahh well.

Slops and Props:

+ John for helping me write this!
+ Wi-Fi > Shoddy
+ Dodrio for killing a few guys.
+ John's Pinsir, MoP Pinsir is pretty unexpected
- My Pinsir, the only time it killed something was using hax, and it didn't kill Lanturn
+ / - There were a few hax, though it was pretty even on both sides.
- I lost = (

If I missed anything or there are any typos, please point them out : ] Hope you enjoyed my first warstory!

Also, many members' pokemon were used in this battle, including:
Rinol's Grumpig
OmegaX's Shuckle
Akamaru94's Pinsir (which is also on my thread)
Gin's Dodrio
Frosty the Cat's Rotom
koooom's Electrode
Sacred Fire's Blastoise
Wuddle's Venomoth
 
Thanks Rinol, if only I didn't switch it into Toxic...

@Goodbar- I'll talk to you on aim
 
Your rotom > my rotom

Mine dies to anything. Even fighting attacks :P

IMHO, Dodrio was your greatest triumph. He was the best part of your team, him and rotom staying alive that long.
 
Thanks Lucifer ^_^ Yea Rotom has proved to be really cool, though I wish I could've Tricked Choice Scarf onto something during this match, it's always fun : ]

I wish more people would post with suggestions/comments =/
 
heh, I haven't been amused by wifi stories this much since the one with the GIF animations. Good job!
