Heatran used Fire Blast.

Heatran lost 10% of its health.
Syndrome's Heatran fainted.
Nidoqueen used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
\o/ I guess he didn't run taunt nor explosion, or it could just be that he predicted a switch-in to a random ghost or something, since sitting at 1% and being faster than your current mon really screams out suicide bombing in pokemon. I get up the rocks - in other words, nidoqueen has finished her current job most excellently, and will promptly be switched out when I find it reasonable, as even if it dies on the switch-in it will still clear the field of tspikes, which as I've mentioned earlier is rather important to me.

Syndrome switched in Suicune.
Suicune is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Suicune.
He switches in suicune, likely thinking of nidoqueen as set-up bait, or it's just that he wants it in before I could set up t-spikes as well (not that I DO run it though :x). As he as well doesn't run tspikes as far as I've seen, (it's kinda weird to say that when all I've seen is heatran lol), it makes me doubt that it is some sort of crocune, but rather an offensive version of some sort, as at this point "everyone" was offensive suicune weak. Now, considering how I run suicune, celebi and raikou, I doubt that it will be that much of an issue to me, but no matter what kind of suicune it is it will not like being taunted, and if it just attacks me, I can set up on it with celebi with ease.
Suicune used Calm Mind.
Suicune's special attack was raised.
Suicune's special defence was raised.
Nidoqueen used Taunt.
Suicune fell for the taunt!
Suicune's leftovers restored its health a little!
I actually expected Nidoqueen to outspeed suicune at this point, but I guess my expectations are a *tad* too high to my loyal "drag-queen". Oh well, the taunt strategy proves itself successful, which again lets it become easy set-up fodder for my OWN offensive suicune :x (also since it is taunted it would be forced to attack (or switch) vs my NP celebi, while otherwise it would either just switch OR stay in to cm up, since it already had one boost and gk isn't doing too much to it. Hence, suicune is my safest bet, as hp electric/grass really isn't the one I'd use against a nidoqueen that just stayed in to taunt you out of the random, when a switch would be way more likely)

Great. Hax makes its first appearance in this battle, and it takes the form of a innocent nve crit. Luckily this isn't some sort of tinted lens suicune or anything, but that crit means that I think that I'm within ko range from two hp electrics, as opposed to surviving those, and getting some major damage on that suicune before going down myself.

Suicune's leftovers restored its health a little!
Whooops. It's essentially at this time that I actually realize that I'm quite possibly not going to survive the next hit, and that just straight out attacking would've dealt more damage. Oh well, I'll try to remedy that by doing SOME damage before I faint, as it could be that he just rolled max damage vs me, in which case I survive and can fatally wound that cheetah-looking-thingy.

Ugh. Suicune goes down with a spark I guess, but the other suicune still stands strong at 70% with its damn annoying bulk. Raikou makes for my best option as far as I know, as it is scarfed and should be able to deal some decent damage to it, as even as it cannot ko it from suicune's current hp, suicune should be unable to significantly damage raikou as well. It has, after all, only 85 base spa.. It shouldn't require a genius to predict my next move, as raikou is after all the legend of thunder...bolt.

Syndrome: ...lol
OH COME ON. Now that my primary revenger is gone with the wind, any speed-uppers that Syndrome has will be of even greater concern now, as I have to rely on Bronzong to take them down (rofl). Celebi turns out to be the final check I have left to this, and I REALLY doubt that grass knot will fail to ko, so its fate should be decided on unless it runs brightpowder on top on those leftovers. >:/

Oppowdon switched in Celebi.
Pointed stones dug into Celebi.
Celebi used Grass Knot.
It's super effective!
Suicune lost 53% of its health.
Syndrome's Suicune fainted.
Well, the score is even at 4-4, although Syndrome is arguably better off since he has still 4 mons unrevealed, and my nidoqueen is stuck at 40% and is only being kept here for fodder, so its prolonged existence is really questionable.
---
Syndrome switched in Scizor.
Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Woo, scizor. Now, this is a NP Celebi (yep, I'm totally loving that set), that runs grass knot and HP fire as its attacking moves. (and with heatran gone, that should offer some decent coverage barring on dragons, and w/ salamence being recently banned that should prove less of a problem) However, in case he's scouting for it , I decide to go to nidoqueen on either the switch or the way obvious U-turn, just to pretend that I do not have it, so that I can nail it later. In other words, the dragon will be sacked for the greater good, as it is not of much use to me atm anyway.
Oppowdon switched in Nidoqueen.
Pointed stones dug into Nidoqueen.
Scizor used U-turn.

Nidoqueen lost 54% of its health.
Oppowdon's Nidoqueen fainted.
Syndrome switched in Jirachi.
Pointed stones dug into Jirachi.
This is actually a case where hax against me proved itself to work in my favour, as nido was next to useless to me anyway, and it would possibly lead to free setups, so \o/. Jirachi is ugggggh as usual, however. From what I've seen from his team so far (suicune, heatran, and scizor which I assume is choice banded), it would make sense if this were to be some sort of scarfer, that could possibly just flinch my switch-in to death or just uturn out, giving syndrome momentum and the advantage yet again. I SHOULD be having next to no trouble w/ dealing with it unless it is superrachi w/ hp ground or something, since my heatran is still unrevealed, and bronzong can absorb a tricked scarf (albeit w/ a bit reluctance) all day long, since this is a cb zong, kept on the team as a decent check to lo sweeper aero, lo sweeper shaymin, etc as well as being the only thing on this team that can reliably beat blissey barring a taunt combo from nido + bp celebi + tran/suicune rofl :x Also, since I've talked a lot about how I'm loving the performance of cb zong in the matches I've used it, I'm (recklessly) assuming that syndrome is not going to bother tricking it.

Oppowdon switched in Bronzong.

Oppowdon switched in Heatran.
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.
Jirachi used Fire Punch.
Heatran's Flash Fire raised its fire power!
You may call me crazy, but for one instant I just realized that it could also just happen to be an all out revenger w/ the elemental punches and iron head... in which case the best it could do to bronzong was to fire punch. Since that'd pretty much be my only shot at winning this due to him having still quite a few mons unrevealed, I decide to go to my subsalac heatran to try to end this in this instant. If nothing else, it could also still do with a tricked scarf, as I've killed off two fire resists from him, so spamming it should be a fairly safe action.
He DOES indeed fire punch, which leads me to believe that this IS a scarfed version of jirachi. According to this, he has no other choice but to switch, so I can get a free sub going, and quite possibly wreak some havoc upon his poor four remaining team members.

Syndrome switched in Dragonite.

Heatran used Substitute .
Heatran lost 25% of its health.
Heatran made a substitute!
wolf: oshi
Score. Now, Syndrome has two choicers on his team in jira and scizor already (well, at least w/in my speculation), so I really doubt that this nite is choiced. It is very possible that I'm faster than it, as dnite (at least in this metagame) frequently runs a dd lo set w/ outrage, aqua tail, and extremespeed in order to differentiate itself from salamence, and that set has an ADAMANT nature, while my tran is TIMID. In other words, if I outspeed it, I know its set, and can plan accordingly.

Heatran used Dragon Pulse.
It's super effective!
Dragonite lost 67% of its health.
Dragonite used Aqua Tail.

The substitute took damage for Heatran!
Heatran's substitute faded!
Yep, it's wood. Now, it has no leftovers recovery, which really hints to it being a lo version, which means that it'll die if it gets to attack once more. And hey, why shouldn't it? I mean, it has extremespeed, so it can just use that and then revenge me w/ jirachi, since it will outspeed me any day. In other words, if it attacks (which really makes sense with me), I can just sub up in order to grab some protection from priority (not that bp from scizor bothers me much lol), and possibly grab the salac boost as well..

You should listen to wolf syndy, it's no good playing with fire. ;DDDDD
Speaking of fire, I've killed off three fire resists from syndrome's team, so I REALLY doubt that he has anything left that resists it, and to top it off, I've got a flash fire boost. BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.

Syndrome has left the room.
In the end, tran proves himself to be a manly man that ravages the rest of syndromes team with ease. Might be a bit of a troll-ish match on my part, but it still was a really good one if nothing else because of the predictions w/ tran. However, community night was not over yet, and after a long wait w/ me being left alone as everyone else on the server watched two of the mods of S&M bashing it out, Anti arose to rejoin the fun of community night as my final opponent...
And guess what, as part of this bargain deal, you get to read that battle as well! Two logs in one click! Omffg, what a sweet deal!
