Jun 30 '09

It was a cold, chilly morning as me and my soldiers sneaked around the ominous wasteland of a battlefield known to all as the Shoddy Battle Arena, a place of constant clamor and destruction, filling the air with the screams and hollers of falling comrades and enemies alike. It was at this time that I came across an apparently bitter general called FuckSmogon, who initiated a battle with me. As we prepared our men (and women) for battle, I knew this wasn’t going to be easy.

[lefties recovery omitted, sandstorm omitted when cancelled out]
My troop (in order of appearance):

Enemy’s troop [to be here-on refered to in commentary as FS]: (in order of appearance):

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


FuckSmogon sent out Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
argetlam678 sent out Feraligatr (lvl 100 Feraligatr ?).
Feraligatr used Substitute.
Feraligatr lost 25% of its health.
Feraligatr made a substitute!
Bronzong used Trick.
But it failed!

So the battle commences and I tell my gator to do his thing and set up his mighty rhydon doll wall to protect him, and it turned out to be a good choice, saving me from a trick, meaning that soldier was carrying a choice item!


FuckSmogon switched in Suicune (lvl 100 Suicune).
Suicune is exerting its pressure!
Feraligatr used Swords Dance.
Feraligatr's attack was sharply raised.

My suspicions were further confirmed as FS switches out his metal bell and sends in his trusty dog to do his bidding, allowing me to get off a free Swords Dance.

Feraligatr used Crunch.
Suicune lost 29% of its health.
Suicune used Roar.
argetlam678 switched in Empoleon (lvl 100 Empoleon ?).

Now, any General worth his salt knows that Suicune commonly carries roar, so I took a bite outa Crime -- I mean Cune, before my Gator was scared back to the reserves to be replaced by his trusty penguin comrade.


Suicune used Calm Mind.
Suicune's special attack was raised.
Suicune's special defence was raised.
Empoleon used Grass Knot.
It's super effective!
Suicune lost 26% of its health.



Suicune used Calm Mind.
Suicune's special attack was raised.
Suicune's special defence was raised.
Empoleon used Roar.
FuckSmogon switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).

I proceeded to have my penguin trip FS’s dog with a vine while it calmed its nerves for battle, and then followed with a roar of my own to prevent him from setting up, bringing the wrath of the dead against me in ghostly form.

Gengar used Thunderbolt.
It's super effective!
Empoleon lost 58% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
Empoleon used Surf.
Gengar lost 55% of its health.

OK, so my penguin was a beast, and I knew he could survive the obvious T-bolt headed his way, but when I told my penguin to ROCK ON DUDE, his surfing skills brought back a return that was less than expected.


argetlam678 switched in Mamoswine (lvl 100 Mamoswine ?).
Gengar used Thunderbolt.
It doesn't affect Mamoswine...

So! Knowing my penguin was in some trouble and that the ghost would try to send a shock to my system a second time, I sent out my mammoth in order to intercept and counter-strike…

FuckSmogon switched in Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
Mamoswine used Ice Shard.
It's not very effective...
Bronzong lost 12% of its health.

…but as I prepared to counter-strike, he called back his evil spirit and sent out that bell of his to take the hit.

Mamoswine used Ice Shard.
It's not very effective...
Bronzong lost 13% of its health.
Bronzong used Trick.
Bronzong obtained Choice Band!
Mamoswine obtained Choice Band!

I knew he had a choice item, and I knew I did too, so I decided to attack once more to see what I’d get and prompt him to use trick a second time, knowing I’d switch out due to doing little damage.

argetlam678 switched in Feraligatr (lvl 100 Feraligatr ?).
Bronzong used Trick.
Bronzong obtained Salac Berry!
Feraligatr obtained Choice Band!

So I sent out the only other guy in my troop who could benefit from the band, giving up my steroid-berry in exchange.

Feraligatr used Waterfall.
Bronzong lost 47% of its health.
Bronzong flinched!

Got a very useful Hax here, prompting my opponent to count his losses, as another waterfall would crack his bell 100X worse than the liberty bell.

FuckSmogon switched in Suicune (lvl 100 Suicune).
Suicune is exerting its pressure!
Feraligatr used Waterfall.
It's not very effective...
Suicune lost 15% of its health.

So out comes his dog once again to take the brunt, telling me it was time to send in someone new.

argetlam678 switched in Weezing (lvl 100 Weezing ?).
Suicune used Calm Mind.
Suicune's special attack was raised.
Suicune's special defence was raised.



Suicune used Calm Mind.

Suicune's special defence was raised.
Weezing used Will-o-wisp.
Suicune was burned!
Suicune was hurt by its burn!
Suicune lost 12% of its health.

Weezing has T-bolt, but with the calming of the dog, I felt it was tactically better to burn his dog first for residual damages and to offset the leftovers.


Suicune used Surf.
Weezing lost 82% of its health.
Weezing used Thunderbolt.
It's super effective!
Suicune lost 16% of its health.

Suicune used Rest.
Suicune fell asleep!
Suicune restored 74% of its health.

…Just as the dog decides to take a nap in my face and flaunt his calm attitude.


Suicune is fast asleep!
Empoleon used Roar.
FuckSmogon switched in Gliscor (lvl 100 Gliscor ?).



argetlam678 switched in Weezing (lvl 100 Weezing ?).
Weezing makes ground moves miss with Levitate!
Gliscor used Earthquake.
Gliscor's attack missed!

Having been through a lot, my penguin had some limbs replaced, making him part steel, and I knew his creepy bat-thing was going to try and take advantage, so I sent in my asthmatic friend in anticipation.


Gliscor used Taunt.
Weezing fell for the taunt!
Weezing used Will-o-wisp.
Weezing can't use Will-o-wisp after the taunt!

Bad decision as Wheezy get’s taunted into indecision, crap!

FuckSmogon switched in Suicune (lvl 100 Suicune).

It's not very effective...

I trip him far more effectively this time, but I’M roared away this time, bringing out my medic prematurely.

Suicune used Calm Mind.
Suicune's special attack was raised.

FuckSmogon has left the room.

So the dog must have lost some smarts through all the bashing, because it decided to calm itself while I took a bite once more outa Cune, risking his life and FS’s victory to greed. And, as luck would have it, I got a critical right in time, as the sandstorm was singing death to my Gator. As the dog falls, FS gathers up his team and bitterly stomps off into the distance, angry at my lucky shot.

Props:
Empoleon for kicking @$$
Mamoswine for taking names
Gardevoir for helping my mecha-man last so long
Blissy for dying quickly
Ferlaigatr for taking the band like a man and using it well, and getting me that lucky crit at the end

Lovely warstory. I'm glad to see such interesting commentary too.

I might've missed it, but I wasn't sure why you kept in Weezing against Suicune. XD I guess t-bolt was nice, but I would imagine Suicune's calmed powers would have (and did) put a nasty dent into the asthmatic friend. ;3

haha, i can't say for sure why i did =P
most likely reasons: i didn't want any of my other guys getting hurt from such a supped up surf or
i thought T-bolt would do more; the main problem was the suicune, so my physical wall was slightly less important i suppose lol
