So, me and a friend of mine on shoddy, yipyip123, decided to have a battle with one of my newer teams. What resulted was one of the closest battles I've ever been in...It was quite an interesting game. Here is a warstory of that match. I've wanted to write one, but i never felt like i was good enough to match up to the other warstorys, nor did i have any good matches. I'm still not pro, but i think this was a great match, and decided to write one. If there is any formatting errors and prose errors and whatnot, please inform me.
My Team will be this color.
Yip's team will be this color.
Score will be this color. (Me-Yip)

MY TEAM: (I'm gong29)
YIP'S TEAM:
Rules: Evasion Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause, Soul Dew Clause, Species Clause, Timed Battle
yipyip123 sent out Uxie (lvl 100 Uxie).
gong29 sent out Aerodactyl (lvl 100 Aerodactyl ?).
Since many know the Aerodactyl taunt strategy to prevent stealth rock n' stuff (He's seen me use Aero countless times), I'd better pull my own stealth rock, as he is probably going to attack me.
Aerodactyl is exerting its pressure!
Aerodactyl used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Uxie used Psychic.
Aerodactyl lost 48% of its health.
As expected, he attacks. 48% though leaves me with enough health to do a few other things with Aero. Stealth Rock goes up as planned. Lets hope he doesn't have rapid spin >.< He may be expecting a taunt after stealth rock, so i might as well not waste this turn.
Aerodactyl used Rock Slide.
Uxie lost 25% of its health.
Uxie flinched!
Uxie's leftovers restored its health a little!
Uxie restored 6% of its health.
Neato, Hax :) Don't want to get too many of these. Now to taunt him, as Ux is taunting me with the probability of stealth rock.
Aerodactyl used Taunt.
Uxie fell for the taunt!
Uxie used Psychic.
Aerodactyl lost 46% of its health.
Uxie's leftovers restored its health a little!
Uxie restored 6% of its health.
Well, Taunt goes into effect, so Ux can't use anything later. Aerodactyl has served his purpose of stealth rock suicide...well, theres always the chance of another flinch.
Aerodactyl used Rock Slide.
Uxie lost 23% of its health.
Uxie used Psychic.
Aerodactyl lost 43% of its health.
gong29's Aerodactyl fainted.
Uxie's leftovers restored its health a little!
Uxie restored 6% of its health.
5-6
Down goes mah Aero, but at least he served his purpose. Time to lay out some more junk to screw with Yip.
gong29 switched in Forretress (lvl 100 Forretress ?).
Time to lay down some toxic spikes. None of the conventional Ux movesets use a fire move, so either hes gonna attack which would be unwise, or he's going to switch. Either way, free toxic spikes.
yipyip123 switched in Dragonite (lvl 100 Dragonite ?).
Pointed stones dug into Dragonite.
Dragonite lost 25% of its health.
Forretress used Toxic Spikes.
Toxic Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
He switches and i lay down toxic spikes. Dragonite i predicted would use fire punch, which with forretress's defense, i would suffice wouldn't kill Forr.
Dragonite used Flamethrower.
It's super effective!
Forretress lost 165% of its health.
gong29's Forretress fainted.
4-6
Boy, did that come back to bite me in the butt. 1 toxic spikes and a dead forretress suck bad enough, but a wrong assumption makes it worse. Well, I had better press on. Considering it used flamethrower, and usual dragonite sets don't have both, I can hopefully rule out Earthquake.
gong29 switched in Lanturn (lvl 100 Lanturn ?).
Anticipating the switch against lanturn using ice beam, it would be suicide to switch into a ground pokemon. Thus, the safe rout is my better option.
yipyip123 switched in Uxie (lvl 100 Uxie).
Pointed stones dug into Uxie.
Uxie lost 12% of its health.
Lanturn used Thunder Wave.
Uxie is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Uxie's leftovers restored its health a little!
Uxie restored 6% of its health.
Well, that didn't solve too much. Uxie ain't the sweeping type that gets crippled by thunder wave. That said, this could prove to be an advantage later.
Lanturn used Thunderbolt.
Uxie lost 19% of its health.
Uxie used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Uxie's leftovers restored its health a little!
Uxie restored 6% of its health.
Damn you, Karma. 1 lousy play with forretress and now i've been stoned. Well, Lanturn can't exactly do anything productive, so i switch out. I can't risk anyone getting crippled from a thunder wave, so natural cure is my option #1.
yipyip123 switched in Gardevoir (lvl 100 Gardevoir ?).
Gardevoir traced Lanturn's Volt Absorb!
Pointed stones dug into Gardevoir.
Gardevoir lost 12% of its health.
Gardevoir was poisoned!
Gardevoir was poisoned by the Toxic Spikes!
gong29 switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Gardevoir's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gardevoir restored 6% of its health.
Gardevoir is hurt by poison!
Gardevoir lost 12% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
As i switch out to bliss, he switches to Gardevoir. Perfect. As Gardevoir is slapped into the face by SR and TS, Yip is all but forced to have to switch Gardevoir out for it not being able to do jack against blissey. This is my opportunity to bring in a damage dealer without taking drastic damage, and whoever he brings in will also get slapped in the face. Since he is most likely bringing in a fighting type, I switch to my Choice-Scarfed Staraptor.
yipyip123 switched in Hariyama (lvl 100 Hariyama ?).
Pointed stones dug into Hariyama.
Hariyama lost 6% of its health.
Hariyama was poisoned!
Hariyama was poisoned by the Toxic Spikes!
gong29 switched in Staraptor (lvl 100 Staraptor ?).
Staraptor's intimidate cut Hariyama's attack!
Pointed stones dug into Staraptor.
Staraptor lost 25% of its health.
Hariyama's leftovers restored its health a little!
Hariyama restored 6% of its health.
Hariyama is hurt by poison!
[FONT="]Hariyama lost 12% of its health[/FONT]
As painful as a 25% loss of health on staraptor is, this play went really well. Hariyama is ruined by intimidate and spikes. Staraptor has enough strength to rip Hariyama apart with Brave Bird. I expect him to switch, but there isn't a whole lot he can switch into that won't take a dent from brave bird.
yipyip123 switched in Gardevoir (lvl 100 Gardevoir ?).
Gardevoir traced Staraptor's Intimidate!
Gardevoir's intimidate cut Staraptor's attack!
Pointed stones dug into Gardevoir.

Staraptor was hit by recoil!
Staraptor lost 25% of its health.
4-5
Well, even if it wasn't a crit, unless Gard was scarf'd, he would have died next turn from a second brave bird. I score my first KO of the match.
yipyip123 switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
A sandstorm brewed!
Pointed stones dug into Tyranitar.
Tyranitar lost 12% of its health.
Tyranitar was poisoned!
Tyranitar was poisoned by the Toxic Spikes!
So he brings in T-Tar. Battered with a lot of damage and doomed to get owned with stealth rock if i switch out, as well as having a lack of safe switch outs (again, DAMN YOU FORRETRESS!), Staraptor shall remain to score one last blow.
Staraptor used Brave Bird.
It's not very effective...
Tyranitar lost 22% of its health.
Staraptor was hit by recoil!
Staraptor lost 8% of its health.
Tyranitar used Rock Slide.
It's super effective!
Staraptor lost 101% of its health.

Tyranitar is hurt by poison!
Tyranitar lost 12% of its health.
3-5
gong29: ****.
**** indeed. I realize that the loss of Staraptor is really a big one. I am down to slightly less than half of my teams full status, and the lack of intimidate is...intimidating.
gong29 switched in Empoleon (lvl 100 Empoleon ?).
Pointed stones dug into Empoleon.
Empoleon lost 6% of its health.
My remaining pokemon are Lanturn, Empoleon and Blissey. Choice-Spec'd Empoleon stands the best chance at killing Tyranitar right now. Anticipating another switch, i inspect his team and see that among the rest of his pokemon, none of the ones i've seen are resistant to Ice, and since T-Tar is low on HP, Ice Beam seems more reasonable. with a 528 Special Attack, its hard to complain.
yipyip123 switched in Hariyama (lvl 100 Hariyama ?).
Pointed stones dug into Hariyama.
Hariyama lost 6% of its health.
Empoleon used Ice Beam.
Hariyama lost 27% of its health.

Hariyama restored 6% of its health.
Hariyama is hurt by poison!
Hariyama lost 12% of its health.
Sweet, he switches. Unfortunately, Hariyama has too much HP left for me to ensure a kill with Ice Beam. So, reluctantly, I must switch out to avoid certain death with the loss of my last remaining killer. Bliss would die from a close combat, so i switch to lanturn and hope for the best to happen from there.
gong29 switched in Lanturn (lvl 100 Lanturn ?).
Pointed stones dug into Lanturn.
Lanturn lost 12% of its health.
Hariyama used Close Combat.

Holy Mother of Jesus, Lanturn lives! I honestly only needed him for a meat shield of 1 turn to switch back to Empoleon to use surf, and the lowering of defenses caused by CC. Tiem 2 dai, Hariyama-san.
yipyip123 switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).

gong29: NICE.
He switches out to T-Tar simply to have it go into the wastebin. Smooth move, Yippy. Lanturn has been doing well on his borrowed time.
yipyip123 switched in Dragonite (lvl 100 Dragonite ?).
Pointed stones dug into Dragonite.
Dragonite lost 25% of its health.
I suppose it would be way too much to ask for Lanturn to do any more for me, so his time has come.
Dragonite used Superpower.
A critical hit!
Lanturn lost 97% of its health.
gong29's Lanturn fainted.
Dragonite's attack was lowered.
Dragonite's defence was lowered.
The sandstorm rages.

Even in death, this fish does something, taking the stat-lowering superpower and allowing Dragonite to lose some hp. Not that it is truly significant, but now i can switch out to Blissey without worrying that she will be pulverized.
gong29 switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Weak with a gimped Superpower, I can assume he is going to switch. Time to heal whatever happens next, as well as the dents from stealth rock. I still haven't seen his 6th pokemon, so I can't take any chances.
yipyip123 switched in Hariyama (lvl 100 Hariyama ?).

How dare you, Cradily! You're not supposed to fall asleep when i come in to kill you! Now, with 3 remaining pokemon, each susceptible to an Ice Beam, i fire away. There's no reason to keep Cradily in now.

Holy Mother of Jesus, Lanturn lives! I honestly only needed him for a meat shield of 1 turn to switch back to Empoleon to use surf, and the lowering of defenses caused by CC. Tiem 2 dai, Hariyama-san.

Even in death, this fish does something, taking the stat-lowering superpower and allowing Dragonite to lose some hp. Not that it is truly significant, but now i can switch out to Blissey without worrying that she will be pulverized.

Weak with a gimped Superpower, I can assume he is going to switch. Time to heal whatever happens next, as well as the dents from stealth rock. I still haven't seen his 6th pokemon, so I can't take any chances.
