NOT ANTI-CLIMATIC POKEMON LEAGUE BATTLE

[spotto]

Holy crap. I had an amazing fight with Lance in Soulsilver (Yes I still haven't finished the game yet lol)

So I took my Gengar, Typhlosion, Luxray, Furret, Floatzel, and Sandslash to the Elite Four, defeated them pretty easily I guess. (Only once did a Pokemon faint (my Floatzel) )

Anyway I get to Lance, this is my second time you see since I utterly failed the first time. (DRAGONITES ARE GODDAMN POWERFUL) and so decide to start with my Luxray, to zap the Gyarados, see.

BUT GYARADOS ARE MOTHERF*CKERS LIKE FASTER THAN ALL MY POKEMON FOR SOME REASON, so it goes first...and uses waterfall...and Luxray (Rudo) FLINCHES for the second time in a row (similar to last time :C ) So I switch it out because waterfall eats most of its HP already and decide to use my Furret (Souless). I tried to use Return with Furret, as it is a fairly powerful attack, but it only takes off half of gyarados' attack. Then, after luxray is healed up (Furret dies in a noble sacrifice ;_;) I return it to attempt Spark (since intimidate kind of kills the Physical Attack, so Thunder Fang will not do much.)

OF COURSE LANCE USES FULL RESTORE. And so I try to switch out my Luxray again, this time using Gengar (Yong Soo) to hypnosis/dream eater the bastard. Finally, after much HP loss gyarados goes down. Next? A bloody level 49. Dragonite. Here I decide to bring in my Typhlosion (Koho) because he is pretty much my tank and I need to revive Luxray (I think he died to gyarados actually, lol) Anyway I actually accidentally use Flamethrower which barely hurts Dragonite at all, and dies D: but I know flying is weak to electric and thus bring back my glass cannon of a stupid Luxray to get rid of the stupid Dragonite. Thunder Fang does some damage but...
ANOTHER BLOODY FULL RESTORE. So Luxray dies. I bring back Gengar to maybe do another Hypnosis/Dream Eater combo... and finally the stupid Dragonite dies. Unfortunately Yong Soo (Gengar) is at 2HP at this point.

NOW THE BIG GUNS, apparently because level 50 Dragonite comes out, Lance's strongest most powerful Pokemon. I send out Kazu (Sandslash) as another noble sacrifice. She had Earthquake but it was useless against flying so the poor Pokemon could only be bait :\ So when Kazu dies I try Souless again (Furret) who is still asleep from Rest, but alas has full health unlike the rest of my Pokemon. (At this point ONLY Souless (Furret) and Yong Soo (Gengar) are alive.)

Anyway at this point it was 5 minutes of OUTRAGE. That RIDICULOUSLY POWERFUL ATTACK (120 damage, 15 PP, 100% accuracy) Dragonite uses, and its only flaw is that after three uses of outrage, it gets confused. So since all I had was a sleeping Souless (Furret) and a 2HP Yong Soo (Gengar), I started to spam Hyper Potions on Souless (who never woke up despite being hit by like 10 Outrages, LOL) to keep him alive. (Outrage always dropped SOuless to like, 2HP or around there, never KO'ing him)

FINALLY he gets confused, so after healing Souless (Furret) and finally after he wakes up I use Return, but it does little (maybe 1/3 of health to Dragonite) AND IN ONE TURN DRAGONITE SNAPS OUT OF CONFUSION. I rage, and try hyper potion spamming some more but ALAS a critical hit finally one-hit KO'd Souless (Furret). So at this point? I am against a level 50. Dragonite while 3 other Pokemon are still alive in Lance's arsenal, and send out my last resort. Yong Soo the gengar, only 2HP. I felt I was doomed, almost complemented turning the game off and trying again...

I use my last option, HYPNOSIS, and alas the horrible accuracy of hypnosis (60%) actually comes through, and Dragonite is put to sleep! SO I take that turn to heal Yong Soo, BUT DRAGONITE WAKES UP AFTER ONE HYPNOSIS THE GODDAMN BASTARD. I tried hypnosis again and this time, thankfully, it hit again. I used this time to revive Typhlosion, mostly thanks to the sleep (wake up) (hurt itself in confusion from outrage [FINALLY]) and once Gengar dies (YOU AND FURRET WERE HEROES) I bring back Typhlosion.

Koho (Typhlosion) is hit by another outrage, THANKFULLY he lives...and so I heal him up again, get lucky that Dragonite once more (only two times in the entire match >_>) hurts itself in confusion, and USE ROLLOUT.
Rollout = super effective against flying. SO, I hit it once, and it dies (it was half-health from confusion by this point.) SO HE SENTS OUT AERODACTYL

Who I ALSO hit with Rollout, much stronger this time, but not a full KO. LANCE instead of knocking out Typhlosion opts to use ANOTHER GODDAMN FULL RESTORE, but luckily my Rollout gets stronger every time and just KOs. It. LANCE THROWS OUT HIS LAST DRAGONITE. I Rollout KO' that TOO. and finally the last battle, both of us only one Pokemon left.

CHARIZARD VS. TYPHLOSION. Rollout has run out by this point, so I had to heal (Lance was smart and didn't use the not effective fire vs. fire...at this point) and finally, since Charizard too is flying I tried rollout again. Luckily he did not one-hit KO me because he ingeniously decided that fire-blast can kill Typhlosions. I defeat him...AND WIN.

OMFG.

I AM THE POKEMON CHAMPION. @_@ 

Unfortunately my Floatzel (Maxman) did not do much, Surf apparently wasn't effective against Dragonites (and it did not live until the Charizard battle where it was supposed to shine)

Of course the rest of you Pokemon gurus are probably wondering why I didn't have like, awesome attacks or attacks that inflict status changes or special combos or something. Well, I chose Pokemon I liked, not really which Pokemon would be the best to use. (Otherwise I would've used my freshly caught Lugia) Although at one point I wished I had an Electabuzz over a Luxray because despite Luxray's awesomeness, mine is not that good, lol. (I prefer its other ability to rivalry....:\) Also my Sandslash (Kazu) was really slow since I had a macho brace on it (and it ALREADY was slow) I ought to take it off or something, lol. But I'm quite proud that I didn't have to use X Defend or some sort of stat boosting drug to win, even if I did abuse hyper potions (only like 7 times!). My Pokemon were at most, level 46 (all of Lance's Pokemon were AT LEAST level 46, 2 level 49 Dragonites, one level 50 dragonite, I think the aerodactyl was level 48, charizard 46 and gyarados 46.)

I also had similar battles against Clair (As you can see I am not fond of Dragon Pokemon >_>) and Morty (Actually that battle was HILARIOUS.) See, my battle versus Morty (Ecruteak Gym Leader, Ghost specialist) was basically my one Pokemon left (Souless, a Furret) versus his one Pokemon left, a Gengar. Basically, we both could not attack each other at all (normal cannot attack ghost, ghost cannot attack normal) so I basically used my beautiful 40 PP defense curl until his Gengar ran out of PP and Struggle-recoiled itself to death (all that defense curlling was lovely for Furret's defense P:) :D It's turtling yourself to a win, lol.

Also I have amazing luck, for Thunder/Blizzard barely ever missed. That is, Lance's DRAGONITES' barely missed. It was only the hypnosis/confusion that saved me. Oh, and Rollout. :D The Level 50. Dragonite THANK GOD never used safeguard, which is what allowed me to put it to sleep, so a little luck was put in there, but coming back from a 2HP Gengar with rest of Pokemon dead to defeating the last four Pokemon of his and winning is amazing, I think. :D

Oh yeah and the reason I defeated Clair (the Blackthorn City Dragon-type Gym Leader) was because my Floatzel had Blizzard and I also had my Luxray's Spark, unfortunately I replaced Floatzel's Blizzard (It's too inaccurate for me :\) so he wasn't as useful this time. Nor did I use Luxray much, so I am happy I relied on different Pokemon this time!

So yay. Off to Kanto I go!

*the journey continues*
