(War Story) We return once more to the land called Shoddy ...

We return once more to the land called Shoddy, where that little Oddish, still green in hue,
Continues contentedly frolicking by the lakeside, all day and night, but with friends anew:
A noble steed with a blazing mane,
A spirit lost, alone, in pain,
A spinning-top whose legs do flail,
A vulpine creature with leafy tail,
A gentle soul, an ocean ride,
A magnetic chap, his nose a guide.

Alas their peace was torn asunder, by dark storm clouds and rolling thunder,
As Squabbles, like a wrathful god, charged our heroes with his own wicked squad:
A warrior more leg than arm,
A brutish ape intent on harm,
A steely bell, its task to wall,
A rampaging tyrant feared by all,
A night scarecrow, the desert dread,
A violent beast of iron head.

The stage is set, the battle will rages, a tale to be told throughout the ages,
The outcome? Well, wait and see, as the battle is begun in the land called Shoddy ...

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

The following pokemon were using Lefties: Banette, Hitmontop, Leafeon, Lapras, Probopass, Vigoroth, Tyranitar, Rampardos. Leftovers recovery has been omitted throughout this text.

Squabbles sent out Hitmonlee.
Shiny Oddish sent out Rapidash.

The pretty fire pony vs. the long legged … thing. Hmm. Well Rapidash is faster (assuming Lee is not Choice Scarfed) and has both Hypnosis and Will-O-Wisp. However Hitmonlee is probably Choice Banded and will likely KO the unicorn if either of the status moves fail … so lets hope he goes for a STABbed fighting attack …

Shiny Oddish switched in Banette.
Hitmonlee used Close Combat.
It doesn't affect Banette...

Squabbles switched in Vigoroth.
Banette used Screech.
Vigoroth's defence was harshly lowered.

I have no idea what Slaking Jr. can do … does it learn Shadow Claw? Will the gimp themed doll survive an attack? Doubtful so here goes nothing …

Banette used Sucker Punch.
But it failed!
Vigoroth used Encore.
Banette got an encore.

Wasn’t expecting that …

Shiny Oddish switched in Hitmontop.
Hitmontop's intimidate cut Vigoroth's attack!
Vigoroth used Aerial Ace.
It's super effective!
Hitmontop lost 31% of its health.
Vigoroth lost 10% of its health.

Either good prediction on Squabbles part or sheer luck. You’ll have to ask him.

Squabbles switched in Bronzong.
Hitmontop used Toxic.
It doesn't affect Bronzong...

I hate Bronzong … the only thing on my team that really stands at chance of killing it is Rapidash, unfortunately most carry Earthquake so switching it in is not an option. Fortunately most Bronzong also carry Hypnosis so …

Shiny Oddish switched in Banette.
Bronzong used Trick Room.
Bronzong twisted the dimensions!

Trick Room is not good for my time … still I’ve got Banette in, now its just a question of what I can actually do to the big lump of metal, with it.

Bronzong used Hypnosis.
Bronzong's attack missed!
Banette used Screech.
Bronzong's defence was harshly lowered.

Hypnosis didn’t miss. My Banette is a good old fashioned Insomniac.

Bronzong used Gyro Ball.
Banette lost 70% of its health.
Banette used Screech.
Bronzong's defence was harshly lowered.

Well Banette may die, but at least Bronzong will be softened up for a revenge kill.

Banette used Shadow Sneak.
A critical hit!
Bronzong lost 100% of its health.
Squabbles's Bronzong fainted.
6-5 (Shiny Oddish)

Erm … wow! I don’t think either of us were expecting that outcome.

Squabbles switched in Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm! -> remains for the rest of the game.
Tyranitar used Substitute!
Banette used Screech.
The twisted dimensions returned to normal!

Ok time to get Banette out of there.

Shiny Oddish switched in Hitmontop.
Tyranitar used Dragon Dance.

Tyranitar used Crunch.
Hitmontop lost 32% of its health.
Hitmontop's defence was lowered.
Hitmontop used Close Combat.
The substitute took damage for Tyranitar!
Hitmontop's defence was lowered, Hitmontop's special defence was lowered.

Squabbles switched in Hitmonlee
Hitmontop used Mach Punch.
Hitmonlee lost 30% of its health.

Guess he didn’t want to risk not KOing me with Tyranitar exposed. Still I have problems, at this point I think Lee is CB’d he knows that I switched to Banette last time, so I think he might try a different move unfortunately Hitmonlee learns a move that can KO most of my team , unfortunately given all of the two defence drops its doubtful that Top will survive an attack. Oh well, at least it will be locked into a move allowing me to switch something in safely.

Hitmonlee used Bulk Up.
Hitmonlee's attack was raised.
Hitmonlee's defence was raised.
Hitmontop used Toxic.
Hitmonlee was badly poisoned!

Well that was unexpected … still at least I’ve poisoned him, just have to hope he doesn’t have a cleric. Unfortunately he’s not locked into a move … and I still have no idea what item it is using.

Hitmontop used Mach Punch.
Hitmonlee lost 19% of its health.
Hitmonlee used Blaze Kick.
Hitmontop lost 49% of its health.
Shiny Oddish's Hitmontop fainted.
Hitmonlee lost 10% of its health.

Squabbles: holy shit its you oddish!
Squabbles: fiend!
Banette used Shadow Sneak.
Hitmonlee lost 3% of its health.
Squabbles's Hitmonlee fainted.
Shiny Oddish: ?
5-4 (Shiny Oddish)

I’m still not sure how Squabbles had failed to notice who he was battling, particularly when I am, as far as I know the only Oddish of any description to frequent Shoddy, and certainly the only one to play ladder matches with UU(ish) pokemon.

Squabbles switched in Cacturne.
Squabbles: i didint know it was you
Banette used Screech.
Cacturne's defence was harshly lowered.
Cacturne used Swords Dance.
Cacturne's attack was sharply raised.

Time for the Sucker Punch related mind games …

Cacturne used Sucker Punch.
But it failed!
Banette used Screech.
Cacturne's defence was harshly lowered.

Well Banette’s almost dead and his next attack will kill it, so here’s hoping for some more Shadow Sneak related hax …

Banette used Shadow Sneak.
It's not very effective...
Cacturne lost 50% of its health.

Squabbles switched in Tyranitar.

Well Tyranitar will hopefully run away screaming like a little girl …

Squabbles switched in Vigoroth.
Leafeon used Swords Dance.
Leafeon's attack was sharply raised.

Well we know it knows AA, but I think Leafeon is faster and has a chance of KOing it with Leaf Blade …

Vigoroth used Encore.
Leafeon got an encore!
Leafeon used Swords Dance.

Looks like I was wrong. Still my next poke can take a hit or two if necessary ...

Lapras used Substitute.
Stupid Encore. Stupid me for not guessing that's what he'd do. Plus I still don’t know what its final move, and Lapras will get slaughtered if I leave it in … here’s hoping its not a Fighting or Ground type attack.

The following warstory was given an Ae rating (it was approved Aeolus), for its scenes of haxy pokemon related violence and brief poke nudity.
 
Awesome battle GJ Oddish. Commentary was awesome(I expected nothing less from someone like you :D). Keep up the good work and thanks for posting this.
 
I like the rhymes

It would've been nice if the story had an ending to go with the introduction, but at the same time the battle's awesome already.
 
GG, I'm kind of disappointed that leafeon actually didn't get to pass his swords dance and let that team mate rape. Good story though! :)
 
Leafeon is more lagomorphic than vulpine; rabbits were originally used for experiments before white mice were invented, and Eevee is based on a rabbit. I can't help noticing how a good Fighting Pokemon would absolutely murder Squabbles. Anyways, cool battle that proves why Jolly is good on DDTar.
 
Haha, loved it. Keep flying the UU flag, Shiny Oddish!

Makes me wonder how slot that Tyranitar was to be below 317 speed after a DD though. Musta been below 212 speed which seems mad for a DDtar.

The rhymes were excellent too.
 
When I looked at your team, and the first two members of your opponent's team, I thought this was a UU match >_>

Anyways, nice game. The main error I saw you making was trying to set up on Vigoroth after you'd seen it had Encore. Overall, though, you did pretty well to win with a team of entirely UU/BL pokemon.

that proves why Jolly is good on DDTar.

qft

Oh, and I loved the poem at the start.
 
AMAZING introduction, even though I felt like I was reading the Canterbury Tales (speaking of which, I have hw -.-) but it was great, and I loved how you described each of the pokemon. Lapras' was a great one. :)

Good job @ winning with Leafeon!!
 
Very cool match, love the poetry at the beginning. You really know how to use bannete well, usually people don't even touch it in uu.
