Ok, so I’m on my 100th post (it’s a big deal to me…) and I wanted it to be something that wasn’t an “in [rand char filler]” for a daily tourney. Luckily, yesterday I was playing my matches for the third round of Smogon’s Wyoming random battle tournament and this little gem falls in my lap. Now, I’ve never done a warstory before and I don’t know exactly how warstory-able this is, but judging by other warstories here it seems like it would be hard to be the worst.

Ok, for a little preface… The Wyoming Tournament is a double elimination tourney with best two out of three rounds. I won my first match of this round quite soundly (like 4-0 or something, he flashfired my heatran, what can I say…) and this match was the second…

Teams (in order of appearance):

zaktrunks's moves will look like this.
Mordock's moves will look like this.
other text will look like this.
Scores will be shown after each KO.

Rules: Random Battle, Level Balance, Sleep Clause
zaktrunks sent out Crawdaunt (lvl 78 Crawdaunt ?).
Mordock sent out Ampharos (lvl 76 Ampharos ?).
zaktrunks switched in Lunatone (lvl 80 Lunatone).
Mordock switched in Medicham (lvl 83 Medicham ?).
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani337.gif - 100 / 100 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani308.gif

Alright, not the best lead matchup I’ve ever had. Switch to Lunatone, cuz… well why not. I wasn’t expecting his switch and I’m not really liking my prospects here. His switch should have told me that he had no electric moves on this pharaoh, but more on that later.

---
Medicham used Drain Punch.
A critical hit!
Lunatone lost 121% of its health.
zaktrunks's Lunatone fainted.
Medicham absorbed health!
Medicham restored 50% of its health.

(5-6)

He gets the crit here but I’m not sure how much it mattered in the long run, Lunatone’s kinda a ***** so I’m not terribly saddened.

---
zaktrunks switched in Crawdaunt (lvl 78 Crawdaunt ?).
Medicham used Drain Punch.
It's super effective!
Crawdaunt lost 116% of its health.
zaktrunks's Crawdaunt fainted.
Medicham absorbed health!
Medicham restored 49% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani342.gif - FNT / 100 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani308.gif

(4-6)

Stupid move here… really stupid. In my infinite wisdom I forgot that Crawdaunt was dark type. About now I’m starting to look forward to the third match of this set, pretty much mentally given up, early I know, but this killed my morale pretty good.

---
zaktrunks switched in Infernape (lvl 73 Infernape ?).
Infernape used Will-o-wisp.
Medicham was burned!
Medicham used Drain Punch.
Infernape lost 29% of its health.
Medicham absorbed health!
Medicham restored 15% of its health.
Medicham was hurt by its burn!
Medicham lost 12% of its health.

Finally a matchup that I can win here, I should have done this a turn ago

---
Infernape used Strength.
Medicham lost 26% of its health.
Medicham used Flash.
Infernape's accuracy was lowered.
Medicham was hurt by its burn!
Medicham lost 12% of its health.

---
Infernape used Strength.

Mordock's Medicham fainted.

(4-5)

For some reason he opts for the flash-hax route instead of fighting me like a man, fortunately it’s all in my favor and my Nape gets out of that relatively unscathed.

---
Mordock switched in Sealeo (lvl 83 Sealeo ?).
zaktrunks switched in Sceptile (lvl 74 Sceptile ?).
Sealeo used Stockpile.
Sealeo stockpiled 1!
Sealeo's defence was raised.
Sealeo's special defence was raised.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani254.gif - 100 / 100 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani364.gif

Not the safest switch here, but I figured the chance he’d try and hit my Nape with ice was negligible. All he does is stockpile, which is nice, also tells me he ain’t got **** on this thing.

---
Sceptile used Frenzy Plant.
It's super effective!
Sealeo lost 101% of its health.
Mordock's Sealeo fainted.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani254.gif - 100 / FNT - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani364.gif

(4-4)

Finally things are starting to look my way, two KOs in a row put this thing back to even, feeling a little bit better about myself, too.

---
Mordock switched in Vulpix (lvl 91 Vulpix ?).
Sceptile must recharge!
Vulpix used Hypnosis.
Sceptile fell asleep!
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani254.gif - 100 SLP / 100 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani037.gif

****, so Frenzy Plant is one of those stupid special tutor moves that no one uses because they end up screwing you over with the god damned recharge… Awesome… Far from the end of the world though.

---
zaktrunks switched in Diglett (lvl 93 Diglett ?).
Vulpix used Heat Wave.
Diglett lost 84% of its health.
Diglett was burned!
Diglett was hurt by its burn!
Diglett lost 12% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani050.gif - 4 BRN / 100 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani037.gif

Switch to Diggy was the only thing I could think of, unfortunately Heat Wave destroyed it…

---
Mordock switched in Blastoise (lvl 74 Blastoise ?).
Diglett used Rock Slide.
Blastoise lost 9% of its health.
Diglett was hurt by its burn!
Diglett lost 12% of its health.
zaktrunks's Diglett fainted.
The Jaboca Berry hurt Diglett!
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani050.gif - FNT / 91 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani009.gif

(3-4)

Can’t blame him for anything here, solid switch that makes me absolutely hate my team. Why do I get a Squirtle when he gets a freakin Blastoise… It’s just not fair…

That Jaboca Berry just adds insult to injury.

---
zaktrunks switched in Sceptile (lvl 74 Sceptile ?).
Sceptile is fast asleep!
Blastoise used Blizzard.
It's super effective!
Sceptile lost 71% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani254.gif - 29 SLP / 91 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani009.gif

Switch to the only thing that kinda makes sense, hoping he doesn’t have Blizzard and that I wake up… Turns out he had Blizzard and I stayed asleep.. Bully…

---
Sceptile is fast asleep!
Blastoise used Return.
Sceptile lost 38% of its health.
zaktrunks's Sceptile fainted.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani254.gif - FNT / 91 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani009.gif

(2-4)

Yep, well doesn’t come as any surprise. This match is as good as lost. My secret weapon is a Squirtle… pretty sure that’s outclassed by its older brother here… Switch to Nape here and hope he doesn’t have any water moves.

---
zaktrunks switched in Infernape (lvl 73 Infernape ?).
Infernape used Will-o-wisp.
Blastoise was burned!
Blastoise used Yawn.
Infernape became drowsy!
Blastoise was hurt by its burn!
Blastoise lost 12% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani392.gif - 71 / 79 BRN - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani009.gif

No water moves, that’s a good sign. The WoW should prove uselful considering what I'm working with. But the yawn forces the switch. Squirtle Squad! Go!

---
zaktrunks switched in Squirtle (lvl 90 Squirtle ?).
Blastoise used Skull Bash.
Blastoise's defence was raised.
Blastoise lowered its head!
Blastoise was hurt by its burn!
Blastoise lost 12% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 100 / 67 BRN - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani009.gif

Looks at item, Splash Plate, interesting; moves, Waterfall! I might be able to actually do something here

---
Blastoise used Skull Bash.
Squirtle lost 14% of its health.
Squirtle used Waterfall.
It's not very effective...
Blastoise lost 11% of its health.
Blastoise was hurt by its burn!
Blastoise lost 12% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 86 / 44 BRN - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani009.gif

It just looks too close, I don’t know if I’ll be able to squeak by here, not against 4 of his. However, I’m out damaging him with the burn included, which I suppose makes him switch…

---
Mordock switched in Ampharos (lvl 76 Ampharos ?).
Squirtle used Rock Smash.
Ampharos lost 12% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 86 / 88 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani181.gif

---
Squirtle used Mud Sport.
Electric's power was weakened!
Ampharos used Return.
Squirtle lost 26% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 60 / 88 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani181.gif

This is where I should have remembered from move one that he didn’t have any electric moves on this guy. I waste a move with mud sport.

---
Squirtle used Waterfall.
Ampharos lost 45% of its health.
Ampharos used Return.
Squirtle lost 24% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 36 / 43 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani181.gif

---
Squirtle used Waterfall.
Ampharos lost 43% of its health.
Ampharos flinched!
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 36 / 1 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani181.gif

Lucky flinch hax… makes up for the stupidity of the mud sport move…

---
Ampharos used Endure.
Ampharos braced itself!
Squirtle used Strength.
Ampharos lost 25% of its health.
Ampharos endured the hit!
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 36 / 1 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani181.gif

---
Squirtle used Strength.
Ampharos lost 25% of its health.
Mordock's Ampharos fainted.
Ampharos's Static paralysed Squirtle!
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 36 PAR / FNT - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani181.gif

(2-3)

Woohoo, get the kill, but he gets the paralysis, could end up being a game killing, I’m not entirely pleased here…

---
Mordock switched in Muk (lvl 76 Muk ?).
Muk used Torment.
Squirtle was subjected to Torment!
Squirtle used Rock Smash.
It's not very effective...
Muk lost 6% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 36 PAR / 94 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani089.gif

Luckily his last Poke is just a Muk, torments me… But I’m not sure why I went with the rock smash here… doesn’t make any sense.

---
Muk used Toxic.
Muk's attack missed!
Squirtle used Waterfall.
Muk lost 42% of its health.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 36 PAR / 52 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani089.gif

He tries and Toxic me, I guess he forgot I was already paralysed. That’s ok, I get a hit in without having to worry about damage for one move, Thanks guy…

---
Muk is tightening its focus!
Squirtle used Strength.
Muk lost 22% of its health.
Muk used Focus Punch.
Muk lost its focus and couldn't move!
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani007.gif - 36 PAR / 30 - http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani089.gif

Nice, alls he’s got is easily counterable Focus Punch… decides he can’t do **** to this BAMF that is Squirtle, switches out…

---

(2-2)

Squirtle beats his older bro thanks to a WoW from Nape way back when. I’m getting psyched, this is starting to remind me of when I beat a Grouden with a Mudkipz in a Late night Random tourney a few weeks ago. I love it when the little guy wins!!

---
Mordock switched in Vulpix (lvl 91 Vulpix ?).
Squirtle used Waterfall.
It's super effective!

No brainer here, the Fox is out before he even knows what hit him.

He knows its over. I try not to get too confident late game, that’s when I make most of my mistakes… that and over predicting. Luckily there’s not a whole lot I can do to screw it up!

I know, not the most exhilarating of Warstories, I now realize this after typing all of this up, but I wrote it so it’s being posted… Random battles make funny warstories, there generally isn’t enough substance or prediction skill for them to be viable, and they are very haxy, as they literally hax in match form.


Slops

Lunatone for just being absoluty worthless and digging me into a hole, Crawdaunt too.
Medicham for being a punk.
Sceptile for falling asleep on the job.


Props

Medicham for being a punk.
Infernape for killing said punk, and for getting the key burn on the giant turtle.
Paralysis for not being an issue, aparently not getting a full paralysis for 9 turns has a 7.5% chance of happening.
Squitle, for being the greatest BAMF in the world and going 4-0 to save the day.

Hey, thanks guys.
It was a stressful match and I'm still kinda shocked I pulled it out!

I would have hated losing, especially since I've already lost once this tourney -- in the first round to Stone no less -- so I'm chillin in the losers bracket for now...

What would have made this funnier was if he actually sweeped with something like Caterpie. Just to accompany the laughter produced by this 'Random" warstory.
