details inside.....
I enter the shoddy arena once more--after being away for some time with Portable Ops Plus--my new team of pokemon ready and itching for a taste of battle after all our difficult training. Off in the distance, we spot a challenger...

NinjaShark's team:
NinjaShark sent out Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
gamer_reloaded sent out Staraptor (lvl 100 Staraptor ?).
Staraptor's intimidate cut Gengar's attack!

Staraptor used Brave Bird.
Gengar lost 100% of its health.
NinjaShark's Gengar fainted.
Staraptor was hit by recoil!
Staraptor lost 28% of its health.
As we exchange friendly greetings, Staraptor senses his prey's weakness right away. His demeanor is such that his victim's concentration falters an instant too soon, and fails to lull Staraptor to sleep. Staraptor uses the opportunity to strike swiftly...

Lugio has entered the room.
NinjaShark switched in Vaporeon (lvl 100 Vaporeon ?).
gamer_reloaded switched in Gardevoir (lvl 100 Gardevoir ?).
Gardevoir traced Vaporeon's Water Absorb!
Vaporeon used Ice Beam.
Gardevoir lost 17% of its health.
Gardevoir's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gardevoir restored 6% of its health.
---
A passer-by coming through notices the battle and lingers to watch while I call Staraptor back to keep him safe from the ice beam that was surely headed for him.
NinjaShark switched in Celebi (lvl 100 Celebi).
Gardevoir used Hypnosis.
Celebi fell asleep!
Gardevoir's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gardevoir restored 6% of its health.
---
Unsure of what to expect, I told Gardevoir to be ready with a hypnosis attack, and to remain vigilant and unyielding, unlike my opponent's unfortunate Gengar. Never mind that before Gardevoir appeared the mythical timetraveller, Celebi!
NinjaShark switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
gamer_reloaded switched in Staraptor (lvl 100 Staraptor ?).
Staraptor's intimidate cut Heatran's attack!
---
Sensing an opportunity, I call Staraptor back out to deal more carnage. My opponent must have seen it in my face, and panicked. Seems he spooks easily, I thought. Maybe I can use this to my advantage....
NinjaShark switched in Gyarados (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Gyarados's intimidate cut Staraptor's attack!
Staraptor used Brave Bird.
Gyarados lost 77% of its health.
Staraptor was hit by recoil!

Gyarados restored 6% of its health.

As I was in shock of seeing a truly one of a kind pokemon, the fabled Heatran, in the smoldering flesh, I noticed its smooth, iron-like skin. Just as I was about to tell Staraptor to get up close and personal, my gut feeling told me--He's up to something. Staraptor, go!
NinjaShark switched in Vaporeon (lvl 100 Vaporeon ?).
gamer_reloaded switched in Steelix (lvl 100 Steelix ?).
Seems I was right. My opponent's Gyarados's impeding looks must have startled Staraptor; for a brief moment before his devastating impact, Staraptor backed off the attack, preventing the blow from being as lethal as it could have been. Alternately, Staraptor still managed to inflict a large injury. Large enough for my adversary to back his Gyarados, and his offense, back into his pokeball and into a defensive position. As he re-released Vaporeon, I retreated my now shaken bird of prey for my steel snake. It seems that despite his hasty decision, he now had the advantage over me...

Steelix lost 2% of its health.
gamer_reloaded's Steelix fainted.
---
Seeing my predicament, I attempted to strong-arm my opponent back into a defensive position by having Steelix unleash a deafening sound not unlike two large pieces of metal rubbing violently against each other. My opponent and his Vaporeon were not rattled by this, and Steelix was soon swept away much more easily than I anticipated.
Tie 5 - 5

NinjaShark switched in Celebi (lvl 100 Celebi).
Shiftry used Dark Pulse.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Celebi lost 100% of its health.
NinjaShark's Celebi fainted.
Shiftry lost 10% of its health.
---
As Steelix came back to his ball, I decided to deal with this threat permanently. But as Shiftry exited his pokeball, I noticed a confused look on Shark's face. Seems he had never seen one before. I grinned slyly--He's going to use Celebi to test the waters. Not if I have something to say about that....

Gardevoir used Wish.
Gardevoir made a wish!
Heatran is fast asleep!
Heatran used Sleep Talk.

Our spectator begins losing his mind at the excitement of the battle as once again Vaporeon and Gardevoir face off. This time though, the threat of interruption is greatly reduced. Gardevoir is able to easily subdue Vaporeon with a powerful series of psychic attacks after crippling it with as Thunder Wave [several turns omitted]. Afterwards, she heals herself with a wish as she finishes Vaporeon off.

Garchomp's rampage ended.

It seems clear now why my opponent's moniker was what it was. His trump card. Such an intimidating, powerful specimen, that even though it failed to incapacitate Gardevoir in a single hit, it managed to destroy her morale enough that she lost her will to fight and loses her focus at the most critical moment of the battle.

......! Holy Arceus, what happened? As if in a haze, my opponent's monster lay slain at the talons of my faithful, bruised eagle. All three of us watched in awe. In all its rage, it must have tired out, just as Lugio had predicted, giving Staraptor the opportunity to deal a decisive blow. I hugged my favorite bird of prey and promised him his favorite dinner: whole, fried feebas. He deserved it!
Props:
-NinjaShark, for being a good sport and giving a good match
-Me, for generally good prediction skills through most of the match
-Staraptor, for being awesome throughout
-Gardevoir, for providing excellent support and taking down an otherwise troublesome Vaporeon
-Shiftry, for psyching out NinjaShark into giving me his Celebi for free
-Drapion, for finally taking out Gyarados
-The gods of hax, who helped me at critical points and netted me the win
-Lugio, for sticking around and watching the whole thing without being (too) disruptive
Slops:
-Me, for generally sucking on my predictions in the endgame
-Me, for getting Steelix killed off like a dumbass
-Me, for not killing off Gyarados with enough health left to knock off that damn choice scarf
-Gardevoir, for missing with hypnosis against Garchomp
-NinjaShark, for being easily outpredicted
-Lugio, for constantly jumping the fence
Hope you enjoyed. As always, comments and questions are encouraged. Thanks for reading

Slops:
-Me, for generally sucking on my predictions in the endgame
-Me, for getting Steelix killed off like a dumbass
-Me, for not killing off Gyarados with enough health left to knock off that damn choice scarf
-Gardevoir, for missing with hypnosis against Garchomp
-NinjaShark, for being easily outpredicted
-Lugio, for constantly jumping the fence
Hope you enjoyed. As always, comments and questions are encouraged. Thanks for reading
EDIT: forgot to add sprites
[rant]I just realized while fixing the formatting that this is how any typical match of mine would play out before Garchomp became uber (regardless of which team I used).....except I won this one because of confuhax. God, I'm so glad that mofo's up with Mewtwo where he belongs [/rant]
