image too large for portal ------[ #4: ZG miraculously upsets TR, 2-0 ]------ By SHS_JJEmpire July 29th, 2013, is going to be a day to savor and remember for members of Zero Gravity. With the aid of two miracles, Zero Gravity managed to upset Team Rocket, SHS's top Squad in Pokemon and the leaderboard, in a Pokemon war today, with two Pokemon remaining out of their 18 starting Pokemon. And Zero Gravity wasn't even supposed to be any good in Pokemon. "Just pure surprise at how the matches played out," Cloud_is_Cool describes as his immediate reaction. "I was like, 'What the fuck just happened', and then lots of jumping around and screaming like a girl, lol. I expected TR to just crush us. Somehow we pulled it off and ran away with it!" The first of the two miracles was the smaller one, and it started in the third round, between TR's Jakyl-9 and ZG's SHS_JJEmpire. Both Squads were currently down a player each, but the odds looked to be in Jakyl's favor. Jakyl was at full strength with six Pokemon. JJ was limping with three Pokemon after having won the second round against TR's cafgeo. Jakyl's team was put together with time and effort, and Jakyl had the experience necessary to figure things out. JJ's team was slapped together in 30 minutes under heavy pressure, and JJ hasn't played Pokemon like this in ages. Understanding the heavy odds, JJEmpire, seeing that his three Pokemon left were all potential sweepers, decided to get aggressive and cause as much harm as possible to Jakyl's team. JJ wanted to go out fighting. He even told Cloud to prepare early for Jakyl, because JJ said he definitely was going to lose, and he'll make Jakyl bleed as much as possible. And yet, three minutes after that, JJ managed to defeat Jakyl with one Pokemon remaining. After JJ's one Pokemon was brushed asides by TR's last player, Celes, Cloud came in as ZG's last player, and the final round began. Despite ten minutes of heavy planning with Tak0poke and SHS_JJEmpire before the final found, Cloud immediately got cut down from six Pokemon to two Pokemon left, while Celes had five Pokemon left. And they were set up to dominate. And then, the second miracle. The big one. ZG called another timeout to get a plan going with their last two Pokemon, a last desperate attempt to win. That's when Tak0poke thought up his plan to execute a miracle sweep. It was extremely risky. It probably may not work. It probably won't. But it did. "At first," Tak0poke said, "I was thinking, 'Damn, there's really not much of a chance for us here, but let's give it our best shot,' but after the setup it was more like, 'YES-YES-YES-YES-YES-YES-YES-GO-GO-GO-GO-GO-GO-GOOOOOOOOOO!!!'" Clearly, all the ZG members are excited right now. Team Rocket, probably not so much for some of them. "I wasn't really heart-broken or anything," Celes said. "I got over it a little too fast, lol. But it kind of sucked knowing that there were only like, two ways to stop what I was doing, and I just so happened to run into one. Live and learn, I'll just pay attention next time. Cloud did pretty well for not being a PO player." But Cloud didn't fight alone. JJEmpire and Tak0poke was in the ZG chat, giving advice to Cloud as he took the battle slowly one turn at a time. "It was very helpful, and definitely caused us to win," Cloud said. "Teamwork is the key, people." Zero Gravity will definitely take this as a good sign of their future in PO. But could they become a contender in Pokemon with enough time and effort? Time will tell.

I was lol'ing how the JJ absol was nearly sweeping. I think there should be a rematch JJ feels new to the whole competitive thing but was funny nonetheless. Also, make the quotes bigger JJ, we want to see the reaction not submerged in the wall of text. But nice matches from both team lulz. |

We forgot to do the others, to be honest. Even if we remembered, I'd probably have been either too busy to write them up, or unable to catch those who were involved in some wars (since some wars were fought by individual 1v1s and not all at once). Here, I managed to have the people to question on hand. |
