Despite the fact that I've played competitive Pokemon for about 7 months, I've never made a warstory, so you guys are lucky enough to read my very first! And honestly I don't think I could have chosen a better match to have as a first. This match took place 3 nights ago (2/4/11).
The Story
After cracking the top 10 on the PO server with a team I've been crafting for a long time, I decided to branch off and try to perfect a new competitive Sandstorm team since I've never used one for a while (and since Drizzle + Swift Swim is now gone)
. So after spending about 20 minutes making a team from scratch, I hopped on my main account so I could just go ahead and play against other high-ranked players (am in the top 50 still). So after just 2 matches, I got put up against Djhezzyrules (his alt account), who as of last night was ranked #1 on the server... And has been for quite a while. As soon as I saw who my opponent was I got excited right off the bat. Although I had already played against and beaten him once before (lame hax-filled match), I was using my favorite team that I had been using for nearly a month. Now I was using a brand new team in testing... How would I match up this time?? All I knew was that I was in for a real test! Overall it was a very offensive, back and forth match with good plays by both sides (minor hiccups here and there), as well as a small bit of luck. However, the ending was a true nail biter!
I hope you guys enjoy it!

Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
ALRIGHT LETS DO THIS... Jirachi has never been any fun for me to go up against (Circa can definitely attest to this) and was one of the few Pokemon I had in mind when I added Tran to this team. I was running the classic CurseTar set and the only reason it's in the lead position is to get Sandstorm up ASAP (which sets up my Dory for some immediate revenge killing) and absorb any status/weak special hits that might come my way. Since I lack SR, this is a lose-lose situation for T Tar if I stay in. Time to switch to Tran to scare his Rachi out.

Ahh the flaming fighting chicken of doom! One of my favorite Gen 3 Pokemon is now one of the more annoying threats in this new metagame. 2 possibilities here: He's either going straight for the OHKO with High Jump Kick or (even scarier) setting up a SD... Hopefully the former. Since Latias resists both of its STABS and is maxed in defense, it should easily shrug off whatever this delicious piece of KFC has to offer.

Mistake number 1. I was really hoping for a non-batton passing variant. Looking back I should have predicted the Protect and Roosted. In high skilled Pokemon play, it's moves like this that can really cost you the game if you're not careful. So now I'm anticipating a Baton Pass, and I'm pretty worried about what he might send in. I can't switch out now or else he gets to counter my switch in for free, so I decide to play it safe and raise my dragon's already impressive defenses even higher with a CM.

PHEW it's just Jirachi again. What a relief. Now here's where the real mindgames begin... My obvious move would be to switch back to Heatran to take the Body Slam, Iron Head, or maybe even Thunder Wave and lose my Balloon. But what if he's expecting my obvious switch? Is he planning a double switch to overpredict? Certainly the #1 player would make crafty moves like that. Well whatever the case I'm going to need Latias around as long as he still has his flaming fire chicken on steroids. So Heatran it is.

Yup a Body Slam. Unfortunately my Balloon is now gone, but I also didn't get Paralyzed so that's a big plus.

I'm pretty frustrated at this point now that my primary KFC counter is now gone. Time to see who out of my remaining 5 Pokemon can take this thing 1 on 1. Too early to reveal my Doryuuzu, so Roobushin would be the next best thing with Drain Punch. Unfortunately it's going to most likely take a hard hit before Popeyes is gone, but I'm pretty desperate at this point to get the thing out.

Glad that crazy chicken is gone... but ouch 63% really hurts. And although we're tied DJ still has the momentum. But hey the match is still early so I still have time, but the longer the match goes on the less and less that window of opportunity looks. I'm really interested in finding out what he wants to bring in for the revenge kill at this point.

This switch in confuses me. He's either 100% confident that his Rachi will finish me off or he simply wants to keep the rest of his team concealed. I think about switching back to Heatran but I then realized he might predict that and go for another Body Slam to potentially paralyze him, and I didn't want my Tran paralyzed... Wait a second. Paralysis. If he goes for another Body Slam he'll most likely activate Roob's Guts ability. With the extra power boost his Rachi won't stand a chance! This might just be the opportunity I need!

Pointed stones dug into the foe's "Nemesis"!
...And then my confidence immediately drops. Oohhhh this is NOT good for me... When I built this team I knew offensive Water types were going to give me trouble. But because of the Drizzle + Swift Swim ban I was hoping I wouldn't run into them nearly as often. Seeing as how 4 out of my 6 Pokemon are weak to a very common attack type, I added Latias to the team to sponge those water attacks and retaliate while remaining healthy throughout the battle. I was truly missing my bulky Dragon at this point since it would have resisted both of Rotom-W's STABS. But since it's gone I have to move on and make the next best move. He's obviously going to wash me out with a Hydro Pump. But now that Roob is paralyzed it is now an essential part of my team. I can't afford to give up a Guts boosted priority STAB move this early in the match. The only option left is to sacrifice. After weighing in my 4 options I concluded that Tyranitar would be the best to sack. It's obvious at this point that DJ lacks a weather Pokemon of his own and since this match is so offensively paced, I predicted a slow, mono attacking Pokemon wouldn't do me any good.

Well this Rotom-W has put me in a very bad situation now. Despite the fact that it just killed a member of my team, I lack a Pokemon that could properly revenge kill it before getting washed away by Hydro Pump thanks to Rotom-W's remaining HP and unique type resistances/immunities. **** YOU LEVITATE!!! Now it's time to decide what could do the most damage to it before dieing. All 3 of my options can't do the job. Doryuuzzu lacks the SD boost to kill it with Rock Slide, Heatran pretty much can't do anything to it, and although Randorosu is an Adamant (Stupid I know. Should have been Jolly but I just wanted to try it out. This minor nature change very nearly cost me the match as you will find out later.) Choice Band variant with a Sand Power boost, it barely misses the OHKO I needed at this point. I dropped my head in disappointment when I came to realize that losing Latias from a crit pretty much cost me the game. But I gotta keep trying the match isn't over yet, but I'm in a really bad predicament at the moment. Randorosu it is. Perhaps Stone Edge will score a crit, or Hydro Pump will miss. I don't count on it though...

At this point I'm resisting the urge to start jumping up and down crazily in my room, but it was 11 at night so I had to resist the temptation since my parents were sleeping and my dad would come in here and kick my *** if I woke him up. I guess the Pokemon Online gods wanted this match to be as even as possible, so it was indeed my turn to get a crucial critical hit. Now that my focus is back my heart drops when I see what he brought in to revenge kill my Randy.

Yet ANOTHER offensive Water type to deal with. PERFECT!
After this match I DEFINITELY need to change this team around. I then silently chuckled to myself when I realized an opposing team of Scizor + a couple of scarfed Water types could tear my team to shreds. I then go back to missing Latias a great deal here. Once again, it resists both of my opponent's STAB attacks. By now you should realize how Latias is truly the glue that holds this team together. Since my Randy is too valuable to sack right now, I decide Heatran would be the best of the remaining 3 to get rid of. Roobushin can still dent something hard with Guts activated and Dory can still potentially sweep.Start of turn 15

You did what you needed to do Tran. Sleep well in your claustrophobic ball of slavery... Kinda ironic I said that considering I'm black. Now it's time to decide which of the remaining 3 could handle My Little Pony the best. Once again my opponent's Pokemon has too much HP to be within killing range from Dory, and Randy gets flat out out-sped and OHKOed by Surf. That just leaves one option left... My heart is starting to beat at a fairly fast rate now. This match was close.

Although I'm not in a position to win this 1 on 1, Roob will still be able to put a huge dent in the thing with a Guts boosted STAB Mach Punch, which will set up Dory for the revenge kill. Hopefully he doesn't have a switch in that can take my punch because I have no idea what his other 2 Pokemon are... Lets go Roob!!!

Whoooah I've pretty much NEVER seen a thunder genie this late in a match. I'm glad I had SR up cause the thing is just as weak as my Roob now. But unfortunately his Kerudio is still out there to cause mayhem, so I'm going to need to save Roob once again. I'm guessing his Borutorosu is some sort of offensive variant with Thunderbolt, HP Ice, and a couple of fillers. He's obviously going for the Thunderbolt to finish Roob off. Randorosu would be a bad switch in considering he's probably carrying HP Ice. I then realize that my mole would be the perfect switch in for this THING with an atrocious mustache. It can resist Thunderbolt AND is neutral to HP Ice. It can then out-speed and kill the blue wonder with Rock Slide. Time for my last concealed Pokemon to reveal itself! Go Doryuuzu!!!

VICTORY! But holy crap he used HP Ice! After thinking about it for a bit I realized how good of a move that was. If I switched to Randorosu, or an even scarier thought, if I had a Garchomp instead of a Doryuuzu that would have been the end for me. But I then also realized that the HP Ice would have failed to finish my Roob and I could have killed his Borutorosu with Payback. My opponent just took a huge gamble, which unfortunately for him, didn't work. I can imagine DJ is pretty frustrated at this point. I successfully snatched the momentum back which is absolutely crucial this late in the game. I then start thinking how great of a warstory this could be if the match remained close. Enough talk time to finish this thing off! Rock Slide!

Minus the small Latias mistake, I truly felt that I had made all of the best moves that I could have possibly made in 21 turns to put myself in the position I was now in. No matter what the outcome is I'm leaving this match feeling good about myself. This match has been a huge confidence booster for me. But I haven't won yet. This ending is all going to come down to who his last Pokemon is. At this point I can feel my heart rapidly beating in my chest from anticipation. The fate of this match all lies in this last Pokemon... The result of this match is now out of my hands.

NO!!!!! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! The realization that I just lost after all of that hard work hit me harder than getting tackled by the Kool-Aid man. Genosekutos almost always run one of two sets: A Choice Scarf set or a Life Orb set. Since it's just now being used as the last Pokemon I was guessing that it was the Life Orb set with something like Bug Buzz, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and and Thunderbolt. If you've been paying close attention to the commentary you might remember that my Randorosu is Adamant natured instead of Jolly, so no matter which set Genosekuto runs, as long as it has max speed (which nearly every Genosekuto has), I lose. I see what's going to happen already. He's going to outspeed and kill both my Roob and Randy with Ice Beam. Why did I make Randorosu Adamant??? WHY?????? The only way I can possibly win this is if I score a critical hit with Mach Punch. That's the only way... I slump back in my chair in disappointment repeatedly thinking in my head "If I only went with Jolly if I only went with Jolly if I only went with Jolly." I move my cursor over Mach Punch...

TIME OUT HERE SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT. One thing is waaaay off here. Roobushin's Guts boosted Mach Punch only did a measly 40% to the ugly bug. Simply from my battling experience, I immediately knew that was a LOT lower damage than I should have done... And not only did I do a very small amount of damage to it, it was carrying Leftovers, which immediately means it's not a Choice Scarf variant! That can mean only one thing... Defensive/HP EV investment!!! There MIGHT be hope for me yet!!! Like a lost traveler that just made it out of a cave, I felt reinvigorated!
But just how much Defense/HP investment did the Genosekuto have? Did it barely have enough speed EVs to outspeed my Adamant Randorosu? AHHHHH if only I had a Jolly nature I would have known for sure that I was going to win since Randy has a base speed of 101 and Genosekuto has a base speed of 90. I have NO idea who's going to move first. This might as well be a coin toss. I take a deep breath. This virtually even match is now coming to an end. A victor must be chosen. A winner must emerge.
Knowing that this was the final move of an epic battle, I gave my opponent two simple letters showing my respect:

MVP of the Game
Well this was easy to decide. This match shows how much of a **** this guy is do deal with for offense teams after it has been statused (with Guts of course). Roobushin single handedly killed 3 members of my opponents team, and it also played a crucial role in killing 2 other members. Seriously guys... just don't Paralyze Roobushin. Not a good idea.
