Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause, Soul Dew Clause
Twin Moon sent out Gliscor (lvl 100 Gliscor ?).
PI-Dimension sent out Azelf (lvl 100 Azelf).

I run a scarf azelf with U-Turn, Explosion, SR, and Trick. Gliscor can't really touch me, so I thought I might as well SR first.

Azelf used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Gliscor used U-turn.
It's super effective!
Azelf lost 47% of its health.
Twin Moon 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.
The sandstorm rages.

Tyranitar... the ultimate azelf killer. Since I'm scarfed I have to switch (lol more SRs)

Tyranitar used Pursuit.
It's super effective!
Azelf lost 47% of its health.
PI-Dimension's Azelf fainted.
(6-5)
The sandstorm rages.

And Twin Moon gets first blood. I decide to bring in Scizor to threaten with Bullet Punch. I decide to U-Turn, since he's definitely not going to let his tyranitar die when it is so healthy.

PI-Dimension switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Twin Moon switched in Skarmory (lvl 100 Skarmory ?).
Pointed stones dug into Skarmory.
Skarmory lost 12% of its health.
Scizor used U-turn.
It's not very effective...
Skarmory lost 9% of its health.

Hmm, Skarmory. Really, they are no problem for my starmie. After switching it in, as with Tyranitar, they are definitely going to switch. I decide to put the hurt on with a 120 BP STAB Hydro Pump.

PI-Dimension switched in Starmie (lvl 100 Starmie).
The sandstorm rages.

Hydro Pump did negligible damage to Blissey, and I switch to Scizor to threaten.

PI-Dimension switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Blissey used Wish.
Blissey made a wish!
The sandstorm rages.

I use U-Turn to scout, his Blissey is extremely healthy, and I still feel like playing it safe.

Scizor used U-turn.
Blissey lost 53% of its health.
PI-Dimension switched in Gyarados (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Gyarados's Intimidate cut Blissey's attack!

The wish came true!
Blissey restored 50% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.

Blissey takes no damage from U-Turn due to wish, but now i have Gyarados in front of it. Now that I have Gyara on the board, might as well DD! He switches in Vaporeon and we have a little skirmish.

Twin Moon switched in Rotom-c (lvl 100 Rotom-c).
Pointed stones dug into Rotom-c.

A critical hit!
Scizor lost 100% of its health.

[apologies]

just a nitpick, on the pokemon sprites at the beginning you have dusknoir instead of azelf and torterra instead of ape
also, your comments were really short

 

[Bogmire]

more comments, less log.

 

[Aura Guardian]

more comments, less log.

Yeah. That is what warstories are for: your thoughts and predictions.

 

[Demoness]

good job man, you just wasted 5 minutes of my liufe

 

[NeoMatrix]

Too much logs. It's YOUR warstory, have YOUR thoughts and comments.

 

[BIG loven]

meh ok warstory, msot of it was just the log which is always kinda boring..... next time add your thoughts and maybe some more comments

 

[Engineer Pikachu]

Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!

Tyranitar used Pursuit.
It's super effective!
Azelf lost 47% of its health.
PI-Dimension's Azelf fainted.

Azelf only took 94%...

Anyway, not bad, more comments.

 

[mite b cool]

Your opponent could of easily just switched in Blissey when you had Starmie in, idk maybe he was scared that you had trick or something? no need to sacrifice Gliscor to Starmie. Apart from that it was a good read, close finish which is always good

 

[TerrickTerran]

Sandstorm was the other 6% on Azelf. It definitely needs more comments but it was a decent battle.

 

[lati0s]

Your comments didn't really give any insight into your thought process, they just summed up what happened, the battle wasn't terrible but reading this felt like reading a log.

 

[Resetx]

It was an ok read, but if gliscor had ever stealth rocked at any point in the match you would have for sure lost.

 

[rokuta]

decent game. if you explain your moves, the reader can get into the battle and know how you use the team. also, mispredictions and sacrafices make some sense this way.
fortunately, i listened to "the ultimate showdown" after reading the title, so i enjoyed it anyway.

 

[TRX]

I have a question; why is this not in the warstories archive?

 

[EpicTurtle]

I have a question; why is this not in the warstories archive?

Because there is to much log and not enough comments.
A good battle, just have some more comments and its good.

 

[eastamazonantidote]

I have a question; why is this not in the warstories archive?

That archive is only for the best of the best. You have to get it approved first.

The warstory was lacking, to be honest. Decent, yes, and some better formatting, a few more comments, and pictures would make it an enjoyable read.

 

[Staraptor Call]

The battle was great; it was fast-paced with many predictions and a close finish. But, as some of the above posters noted, the comments did not completely enough explain your thoughts and predictions.

 

[Corndog]

This is an OK warstory -- the biggest problem besides the lack of comments is that your opponent made a couple of really terrible plays.

When Starmie came in on Skarmory, he went to Gliscor and got it killed for no reason at all, even though he still had a Blissey. Scarftar being on his team means that Starmie wouldn't spam TBolt, especially if it was Scarfed like he expected. Even when Gliscor died, he went to Rotom and got it half-killed, when he could have either gone to Blissey and healed back to max HP or to Tyranitar and killed Starmie for free. In the end, he lost the game thanks to these random plays that really make no sense, and his mistakes really took away from the warstory's quality.

 

[Chou Toshio]

meh, I'm not big on battles where the two players just wack each other back and forth brainlessly. Not to mention there were some really questionable plays, especially on the opponents side (I mean really, Gliscor into Starmie? Really?).

 

[Golden Sun]

An alright warstory. Could've been better and there were some pretty crapp plays on both sides

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the info.

 

[d2m]

Neevermind, misread.

 

[WECAMEASROMANS]

The battle itself was good, but the warstory definitly wasn't. You need to add more commentary, like elaborating on why you used a specific move or switched in a specific pokemon etc. Reading this felt like reading a battle log. Not bad for a first time warstory though. Good luck in the future.

 

[Eggbert]

Though process as said. The key to an interesting warstory. Also, why would you keep gyra in against vaporeon?

Good battle though, just explain you inner reasoning.
