jaysel24 vs. haunt
Hello everybody, and welcome to mine (acid_paradox) and Jaysel's very first warstory. Whilst lurking around the forums, I've seen several Warstories hither and thither and always wanted to write one. I was laddering with a random team for shits, when I battled Jaysel. The match finished very closely in the end. I asked Jaysel if he wanted to write one with me and he politely agreed. This is a first time experience writing a warstory for both of us so please don't be too harsh ;)
Rules:
- Ladder Match
- Sleep Clause
- Freeze Clause
- OHKO Clause
- Evasion Clause
- Species Clause
- Strict Damage Clause

[Jeysel's Team]
haunt sent out Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
[acid_paradox's Team]
jaysel24 sent out Azelf (lvl 100 Azelf).
100% 100%
Being an avid user of Heatran, and having been matched up with a plethora of Azelf in the past, I can be sure that Azelf will either Taunt or use Rocks. I decide to go for the Fire Blast to break the Sash and proceed from there.
I dont usually see Heatran leads, and this Azelf was a Colbur berry lead with 252 HP Ev's. This in mind, i wanted to get my rocks out, since my team loves em'.
-------------------
Azelf used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Heatran used Fire Blast.
Azelf lost 75% of its health.
100% 25%
As I suspected, Azelf went for Stealth Rock, which doesn't bother me because usually Forretress can come in and spin them away later on in the match. I've also broken Azelf's Sash and put it at 25%. I'm fairly sure they're going to switch out, so I use Stealth Rocks.
Here i was balancing between Taunt or switching out to my Heatran. Im sure he will go for the kill, so i send out my Heatran for the awesome Flash Fire Boost.
-------------------
jaysel24 switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Heatran used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
100% 100%
Another correct prediction on my part. I think Jeysel's Heatran is Scarfed and coming in to take mine out early on for whatever reason. I'm not particularly worried, though, as my Shuca Berry is still intact, and I can survive an Earth Power from Heatran and OHKO back with an EP of my own. So I go for the Earth Power.
Thanks to the legion of ScarfTrans out there, my Subtran catches people by surprise. i was hoping for the absence of a Shuca Berry and also his switch, so i could sub-up and do some damage.
-------------------
Heatran used Substitute.
Heatran lost 25% of its health.
Heatran made a substitute!
Heatran used Earth Power.
It's super effective!
The substitute took damage for Heatran!
Heatran's substitute faded!
Heatran's leftovers restored its health a little!
Heatran restored 6% of its health.
100% 81%
Fortunately I stayed in and went for the Earth Power, because SubTran is one of my team's worst nightmares. I decide to keep firing off the Earth Powers, as I am still safe from his Tran with Shuca Berry.
Damn, he stayed in. Ok maybe he's bluffing the Shucca Berry, lets try and Sub-Up again, hoping for the switch.

Another sub, eh? That's fine I'll keep using Earth Power.
Damn this is a losing battle. He Must have Shucca Berry, which will pose a problem. Im sure he will EP again, nows a good time to switch in my Best friend.
-------------------
jaysel24 switched in Gyarados (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Gyarados's Intimidate cut Heatran's attack!
Pointed stones dug into Gyarados.
Gyarados lost 25% of its health.
Heatran used Earth Power.
It doesn't affect Gyarados...
100% 75%
Damn. Gyarados can easily beat out and set up on my Heatran, so I'm in a tough position here. I decide to switch out to Snorlax for whatever reason I know that because his Gyarados never got Leftovers recovery it is most likely using Life Orb.
This is where my hesitation to taunt at the Beggining of the game hurts me. Gyarados hates Stealth Rock, so im going to need to Dent something now.
-------------------
haunt switched in Snorlax (lvl 100 Snorlax ?).
Pointed stones dug into Snorlax.
Snorlax lost 12% of its health.
Gyarados used Waterfall.
Snorlax lost 44% of its health.
Gyarados lost 10% of its health.
Snorlax's leftovers restored its health a little!
Snorlax restored 6% of its health.
62% 65%
Why did I send in Snorlax? That was really a dumb move on my part and is probably going to cost me quite a bit in the long run >__> Time to Rest up to scout the next move.
Ok Snorlax. No point in more Waterfall, im sure he will rest, lets get my dance on.
-------------------
Gyarados used Dragon Dance.
Gyarados's attack was raised.
Gyarados's speed was raised.
Snorlax used Rest.
Snorlax fell asleep!
Snorlax restored 50% of its health.
100% 65%
Wow. Just wow. I made the dumbest move I could when faced with a Gyarados; let it set up. I know I'm going to pay for this unless I take it out quickly. So I switch to Tentacruel and pray to god it doesn't have EQ.
Sweet. One more Dragon Dance and i get to go home early.
-------------------
haunt switched in Tentacruel (lvl 100 Tentacruel ?).
Pointed stones dug into Tentacruel.
Tentacruel lost 12% of its health.

FML. More Dragon Dances. I go for HP Electric praying that he doesn't EQ my ass to oblivion and sweep the rest of my team.
This cost me the game. Seriously, Taunt? NONE OF MY POKEMON ARE EFFECTED BY TOXIC SPIKES. Lol, Stone edge would have either killed it or hurt it, alot. Damnitt, what a missed opportunity.
-------------------
Gyarados used Taunt.
Tentacruel fell for the taunt!
Tentacruel used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
Gyarados lost 60% of its health.
Tentacruel's leftovers restored its health a little!
Tentacruel restored 6% of its health.
94% 5%
...Exhale. Thankfully he's running Tauntados and assumed I came in to set up Toxic Spikes. HP Electric just saved my ass. Had he been running EQ, he would have run my entire team down right then and there. I don't plan on losing my Tentacruel now and I know he can KO my Tentacruel now with a +2 Stone Edge so I go to Forretress, who will survive unless his Gyarados get's a critical hit. Hopefully I will have a chance to set up Spikes.
Yea whatever, Stone edge. I just want to Dent whatever comes in, and i dont want to give a possible Vaporeon Water Absorb.
-------------------
haunt switched in Forretress (lvl 100 Forretress ?).
Pointed stones dug into Forretress.
Forretress lost 12% of its health.
Gyarados used Stone Edge.
Forretress lost 60% of its health.
Gyarados lost 5% of its health.
jaysel24's Gyarados fainted.
28% DEAD
His Gyarados uses Stone Edge as expected, leaving my Forretress at 28%. He sends in his next poké...
Ok, i need to recover after that missed opportunity. I want to set up with Breloom, and the slow Forretress will be the perfect fodder.
-------------------
jaysel24 switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom ?).
Pointed stones dug into Breloom.
Breloom lost 6% of its health.
Breloom used Spore.
Forretress fell asleep!
Forretress is fast asleep!
Breloom was badly poisoned!
40%-Slp 94%
... which ends up being a Breloom. Super. I decide to let Forretress die because he's at low enough health anyways that he won't survive for long. In the meantime while he's sleeping I keep using Spikes in case he wakes up.
I figure forretress is death fodder now, but i want to Sub-Up, theres no way he will wake up in one turn...... Right?
-------------------
Breloom used Substitute.
Breloom lost 25% of its health.
Breloom made a substitute!
Forretress woke up!
Forretress used Spikes.
Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
Breloom's Poison Heal restored health!
Breloom restored 13% of its health.
40% 82%
Luckily I wake up and am able to get another layer of Spikes up. Keep Spiking Forretress, you're gonna die anyways.
Damn. Ok keep my head up, that 12% on the switch will hurt sure, but the 25% will be crippling. Gotta Spore up, since Seed Bomb wont kill.
-------------------
Breloom used Spore.
Forretress fell asleep!

Breloom used Focus Punch.
Forretress lost 27% of its health.
haunt's Forretress fainted.
Breloom's Poison Heal restored health!
Breloom restored 6% of its health.
DEAD 100%
Now that Forretress is dead, I look at my options. I decide that I can sacrifice Heatran, who has fulfilled his duties, to break Breloom's substitute.
Waiting for the next Poke, Blank mind.......
-------------------
haunt switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.

A critical hit!
The substitute took damage for Breloom!
Breloom's substitute faded!
Breloom used Spore.
Heatran fell asleep!
Breloom's Poison Heal restored health!
88%-Slp 100%
I switch in my Heatran and use Fire Blast, which breaks his sub. Surprisingly he went for the Spore again. I was expecting a Focus Punch to take out my Heatran. Oh well. Heatran is now asleep and out of commission. I decide to switch into Gengar, who can break Breloom's sub and KO it with HP Fire.
I probably should have just killed the damn thing, but of course i make another mistake. I was thinking he wouldnt use Heatran as sleep fodder and switch out, and once again being a Spore whore has cost me.
-------------------
haunt switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
Pointed stones dug into Gengar.
Gengar lost 12% of its health.
Breloom used Substitute.
Breloom lost 25% of its health.
Breloom made a substitute!
Breloom's Poison Heal restored health!
Breloom restored 13% of its health.
88% 88%
I safely switch in my Gengar as his Breloom subs up. Gengar takes a maximum of 48.7% from Seed Bomb and is immune to Focus Punch. Sleep clause is also in effect so I have nothing to worry about. I go for the HP Fire.
Damn, lets just Seed Bomb, get some damage on Gengar.
-------------------
Gengar used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
The substitute took damage for Breloom!
Breloom's substitute faded!
Breloom used Seed Bomb.
It's not very effective...
Gengar lost 46% of its health.
Breloom's Poison Heal restored health!
Breloom restored 13% of its health.
41% 100%
Breloom's Seed Bomb fails to KO, and I break his sub with HP Fire. I'm faster and can take it out next turn. I'm fairly sure he's going to switch out, but I used HP Fire anyways.
Fygon can eat a HP Fire easily, and Breloom may come in handy later.
-------------------
jaysel24 switched in Flygon (lvl 100 Flygon ?).
Pointed stones dug into Flygon.
Flygon lost 6% of its health.
Gengar used Hidden Power.
It's not very effective...
Flygon lost 23% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
31% 71%
As I guessed, he switched out. Turns out I should have used Shadow Ball anyways. Oh well. I use Protect to see what he plans to do with his Flygon. If he Stone Edge's I'll switch, if he U-Turns I'll stay in and use Shadow Ball.
I wanted to Stone edge, but U-Turn is just so sexy. Plus, i dont want Flygon eating shadow balls, and knowing my luck Stone edge ill miss while Outrage may get Flygon killed. Idk, lets just U-Turn out.
-------------------
Gengar used Protect.
Gengar protected itself!
Flygon used U-turn.
Gengar protected itself!
31% 71%
U-Turn does about 10% to Gengar, so I'm not worried about that. I go for the Shadow Ball and see what he U-Turns in to.
Well....... Maybe Stone Edge would have sufficed.
-------------------
Flygon used U-turn.
It's not very effective...
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
jaysel24 switched in Lucario (lvl 100 Lucario ?).

Gengar used Shadow Ball.
It's not very effective...
Lucario lost 41% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
11% 44%
He switches into Lucario, whom immediately loses over 50% of its health from entry hazards and from Gengar's Shadow Ball. I know his Extremespeed can't touch me, so I go for the Hidden Power to secure a KO.
Ahh whatever, this was just a random switch, hopefully getting that Gengar down from Life Orb recoil. No one else can eat a Shadow Ball, sweet dreams Luke.
-------------------
Gengar used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Lucario lost 43% of its health.
jaysel24's Lucario fainted.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
1% 44%
Yay. Now I'm hoping he sends out something slower without priority I don't resist so I can take some damage when I go out...
Mehh, not surprising. Useless crit to rub salt in my wounds.

1% 65%
... But unfortunately Jaysel isn't an idiot. He switches to his Flygon which is Scarfed and can outspeed my Gengar. I Protect for shits and see that he's using U-Turn. I just let Gengar die by going for the HP Fire.
I go for the Safe U-Turn, nothing to see here.
-------------------
Flygon used U-turn.
It's not very effective...

Heatran restored 6% of its health.
DEAD 44%
A Smart move on Jeysel's part. He knows that my Heatran is asleep and can't do jackshit, and my Gengar - who had Focus Blast - is now dead, so he sends in his Heatran. But he forgot about a certain member of my team...
Ok sleepy Heatran in, my Heatran follows. This is why i U-Turned, so i could kill Gengar and safely switch out. My awake Heatran vs Sleeping Heatran, Earth Power all day.

46% DEAD
Eat Tentacruel's gelatinous anus, Heatran! I use Surf, knowing that his Earth Power can't OHKO unless he gets a crit. Now his Heatran is dead.
FML. I was so focused on killing Heatran, i forgot about Tentacruel. No point in switching out this late, since eating a Surf would cripple my chances of winning.

58% 59%
He switches into his Flygon. I don't want to lose Tentacruel just yet so I switch to Snorlax to scout his Flygon's move. He uses EQ which takes out a fairly large chunk of my health. I decide to switch to Azelf and deal some damage with a STAB Life Orb Psychic.
Stab EQ to hurt Snorlax. Does a nice chunk, i hope he stays in!
-------------------
haunt switched in Azelf (lvl 100 Azelf).
Pointed stones dug into Azelf.

Azelf makes ground moves miss with Levitate!
Flygon used Earthquake.
Flygon's attack missed!

EQ doesn't affect Azelf, obviously. I fire off a Psychic and see what I can do.

He switches in his Azelf, who dies from Psychic, despite it being not very effective. I'm guessing he's going to switch in his Flygon to use a super-effective U-Turn on me.
My Azelf as death fodder, go Flygon!

As expected he U-Turns. I decided to stay and and Psychic anyways because I'm pretty sure I can KO whatever he sends in with Psychic. He sends in his Breloom which Dies from STAB Psychic.
Oh well, Breloom death fodder. Damn, this is close.

He sends out Flygon again and KO's me with Stone Edge. I'm in a tough situation here. I only have Tentacruel, Heatran, and Snorlax left. Tentacruel can't KO Flygon and Heatran and Snorlax are both asleep. I send in Tentacruel to see what I can do.
Ok. I may be good here. Stone edge to KO the rest of his Pokes, Teantacruel will die.

I surf, and it takes out a large chunk of his Flygon's health, but not large enough. His Flygon KO's Tentacruel back with Stone Edge. I'm hoping either Heatran or Snorlax wakes up and kills it >___>

Lulz, Choice Scarf for the loss. Quick question though. If i had hit the first stone edge, then the second, then struggled for the win, would there be a draw, or would i win, or him? Either good game, and a fun First time War Story, which i always thought were kinda stupid. Nahh they are pretty fun, and the battles are great. Good Game Acid_Paradox, i want a rematch! Everyone else let me know if im doing this wrong, i have never even looked at a war story before this, so if my thought are kinda bare, let me know.
Overall a very close match. Had Stone Edge had more PP, then Jaysel probably would have beaten acid_paradox, Heatran's strongest attacking option being Fire Blast.
