Until the death, by the dead, First OU warstory

Banned deucer.
Hello!
Not only is this my first warstory, this is my first post too, so load up on the (constructive) criticism. I like to play stall as ragequits help my rating. Here's my team:


I'm playing with keclify in a ladder match. It may be a little long, but I hope you think it's worth your time.
My pokemon are in red, keclify in blue. Comments will be in italics. So here we go!

Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
hilarious sent out Swampert (lvl 100 Swampert ?).
keclify sent out Azelf (lvl 100 Azelf).
For the past few battle, Azelf started with Stealth Rocks or U-turn so I decide to try to set up my own Rocks since at worst I'll be taunted.

Azelf used Taunt.
Swampert fell for the taunt!
Swampert used Stealth Rock.
Swampert can't use Stealth Rock after the taunt!

Well darn it. I go and break it's sash with Ice Beam now as they Stealth Rock.

Azelf used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!

Swampert used Ice Beam.
Azelf lost 26% of its health.
Azelf's leftovers restored its health a little!
Azelf restored 6% of its health.

At this point I'm scratching my head. Why would Azelf run Lefties? I decide to take another stab at keclify's team with Ice Beam to scout what they will do.

Azelf used U-turn.

Swampert's taunt wore off!
Breloom was badly poisoned!
Swampert's leftovers restored its health a little!
Swampert restored 6% of its health.

The hit on Breloom is nice and at just a bit of my health. I know that, however, Poison Heal gives it a lot of health against stall teams because the lack of offense. I go to Skarmory to absorb the Sleep or Seed Bomb.

Breloom restored 12% of its health.

At this point I revealed my lack of Leftovers and Breloom is healing up. Magnezone would be no problem anyways beacause of Blissey. I decide to go to Cresselia and set up reflect later. It's not truly set-up fodder because Reflect and Thunderwave. Still, I am cautious since I have my primary Phazer sleeping.

At this point it's obvious Poison Heal is helping Breloom. With more health than Cressy, fear is creeping in me. I decide Breloom won't stay and so I T-wave the incomer.

I predict right, but I wish I saw more than Azelf again. I see a Taunt so I take another stab with Ice Beam.

Azelf comes back in, but now keclify can't switch for free. Since the pixie is crippled, I suspect an Explosion. Knowing they have a T-tar with Pursuit, I switch in Cresselia as opposed to Rotom-H.

The Explosion does come as I thought. I switch in Tentacruel thinking that they will go to T-tar of Breloom as to not reveal their team. If T-tar, then I go to Swampy, if Breloom, then I attack. No matter what, its a blind switch-in

I don't get the Breloom and only manage to scratch the T-tar. The lack of Lefties is a relief, it probably is only Scarfed since it used pursuit. I go to the obvious Swampert.

The moving mountain goes for Earthquake which Swampert takes quite nicely. Even though my Earthquake is obvious, I need to take down the beast as I still am not 100% sure of it's set. None of their known Pokemon are immune to it right now, so I decide to go for it.

My eagerness to kill the probably Scarfed Tyranitar is biting me in the behind now. My main Breloom counter, Cress is in the great beyond at this point. However, with Sleep Clause activated by Skarmory all it can do is set up a Sub or Seed Bomb. My Tentacruel outrun all neutral Breloom and Tyranitars who are not Scarfed. I decide to go to it. If Breloom Subs then I can break it and take the incoming Seed Bomb. If it just Bombs me, then I will kill it the next turn, outspeeding and killing it.

Seed Bomb hits the squid but it still has a small chunk of health left. With keclify now knowing Tentacruel is my best Breloom swith-in, I think he values it more now. Surf and Sandstorm may just kill the frail fighter and it would give decent damage to Tyranitar. Rapid Spin would be foolish, it's main use it to take out Spikes not Stealth Rocks as none of my team is weak to it. One layer of Toxic Spikes, which is all I could hope to get, hinders me more than helps so I decide to Surf.

So I get a good chunk of damage against T-tar. Tentacruel can't come back in later so now it would be a great death fodder for two reasons. If I out speed it, then the Tyranitar goes six feet under. If not, then I get solid proof the Tyranitar is Scarfed. My Swampert is not in tip-top shape so I can't send it in. Regardless, all I can lose now is a weakened Tentacruel.

Keclify is now leading and the thoughts of Infernape sweeping me is now running through my mind. I can go to Rotom-H now, as I know the Tyranitar is locked on Earthquake. Since I know the Tyranitar is locked on Earthquake I go to Rotom. I doubt they have more than one Pursuiter It can kill off the Tyranitar with Thunderbolt or injure whatever is coming in.

At this point you probably realize the title comes from these two little toasters. I could go to Blissey as it is still unrevealed but my team is obviously stall now. This means, that since nearly all stall teams use the fat blob, Rotom-H could trick me. The lack of Lefties tell me it can it is Choiced. It may be the lesser seen Specs version as they already have a scarfed Tyranitar, but they are so rare I doubt it. I go to Swampert as I can take any and every thing from Rotom (though Trick makes me frown).

The first real bit of hax in the game with the Crit. I can consider myself lucky that the damage multiplier wasn't higher though, or I would be down by two. It is Scarfed, as Specs would have killed Swampert. The mudfish just barely stays conscious, determined not to fall into the void like Rotom's past life once did. In comes Blissey to take the Shadow Ball. I'm not to worried about Tyranitar as it is badly weakened and can be killed easily. Swampert can be used as death fodder later in the match.

keclify should have known that my Blissey can kill the Breloom. I am not sure why he sends it out, but I go for the kill with Seismic Toss. I can only hope the Breloom does not have Superpower, which is the only reason I could think why it would come back in.

The turn goes as expected. My Blissey heals back the bit of health it lost and Breloom has meet it's maker. The casualty brings up the score to four to four, good news for me. I'm feeling quite cocky at the moment, knowing they have a very weak Tyranitar and Rotom-H, posing little threat to me.

I send in Swampert to take the Explosion after Heatran comes in- which was the only reason I thought it would come on a Blissey. To bad for me, it sets up a Subtitute. That means there is little chance of it blowing up. However, in case it is a lure for Blissey, I let Swampert stay in in case of it blowing up. Good-bye my fish.

Friggin' out I am. How on earth did Heatran blow up on me? I saw Substitute so I arrogantly assumed it would not have Explosion. Explo-friggin'-sion. But you probably already interpreted my writing and saw the it coming. I didn't. My options were thin. Skarmory was incapitated and Rotom-H weakened. Since it was Choiced, I decided to go with Rotom-H, so I could switch as needed. The Tyranitar and Rotom could be killed, but I needed Sandstorm for Rotom-H. All this and an unrevealed Pokemon! So here we go...

The Champion

keclify's team


I won by pure luck and that one crit was the only hax that matters. Thank-you for reading and thanks keclify for a great game.
 
The only thing I really notice is that all the pictures come before the actual turn, if you moved them to, maybe, between the log and you comments it would really help the reader out. And perhaps put a space or two between each turn.

Other than that, not a bad warstory.
 
I enjoyed reading it but there were a few simple errors.
1- you lost the colors at the end
2- can't tell who won. You said keclify won then that you won by pure luck.
3- just a suggestion, put the health after the battle info. It makes it easier to understand.

Other than those issues, I really enjoyed the battle and comments. It wasn't a perfect battle in any way, but your comments made your mistakes understandable and nothing that took away from the story.
 
SkarmBlissCress? Really?

The comments were pretty lacking, and the health coming before the battle log was a bit annoying. Also, your English isn't very good.

On the whole, not a bad battle or the worst warstory I've ever read, but you should work on it some more before you post another one.
 
I liked it, but I felt it could have been a lot better if you just tweaked stuff in certain spots like formatting. Otherwise, nice job :)

Thanks for the comments all of you , goodness knows they were better than most of mines. I'll fix the formatting later when I figure out how to.

Your commentary is a bit lacking but the battle wasn't bad and I really like the format. Good first try.
 
Either it was your way of playing stall or his way of preventing stall but you didn't get anywhere i felt. All you did was switching around to take the incoming attack without setting up Spikes or pHazing. Warstory wise, it was okay and the battle was quite entertaining.
 
As a first warstory this was very good. Albeit comments lacking in terms of length, they offered enough insight in your decisions and helped to determine the rationale behind certain moves.

Breloom is a douche.

Good story bro.
 
SkarmBlissCress? Really?
What's wrong with that? They've got good balance together. So what if it's not the most original team in the world, if it works then it works. Skarm deals with physical attackers, Blissey with special, and Cress with Infernape. Pretty solid and is tough as hell to take down.
 
The fact that the health came before the log really pissed me off, as it kind of destroyed any suspense. I was almost on the edge of my seat, thinking "Will Heatran explode? Will it?!", until then i saw a 0 next to Heatran and wondered what the hell happened.

That said, the battle was really good for a warstory, and while the comments weren't the most in-depth ever, they were enough, imo, to get the point across. :)
 
This was very good for a first try! I agree that the formatting could use a little work and just a bit more for the comments would be nice.

Hope to see more from you.

I know they work well together, I just don't think having all of them on the same team makes for a great warstory.

Once again, thank-you for the advice and comments. I can't figure out how to change the order of the pictures so I guess I'll have to keep it in mind for next time, assuming I ever do this again. I never knew how long warstories took to make.
