Welcome to what is possibly the first ever 1v1 CC warstory. It's certainly my first, at any rate. I hope you enjoy.
While I clearly spent a lot of time devising my team, this matchup is definitely one of the tougher ones that I wasn't able to prepare for as much as I might have liked. My Blitzle is running Swagger / Protect / Attract / Thunder, but wouldn't you know it, this guy's team is completely immune. It'll take all of our combined battling abilities to pull through on this one.

Alright, here's the plan. I can't hit him with Thunder owing to his immunity, so I'm going to plan B - Swagger. Blitzle is pretty bulky when I need him to be, so I'm sure I can take anything Mamoswine can throw at me.

My plan has been rumbled from the beginning, but no matter; the cogs are in motion. Blitzle takes the hit like a champ and prepares for phase two.

Not a great turn. Protect stopped any significant damage, but the loss of confusion puts me on the back foot. I'll have to regroup and try again.

Now
that's what I call some quality Blitzle action right there. Mamoswine gets boosted to a hefty +4, which is promptly delivered to his own face. Everybody should know the plan from here, including my opponent. But being outpredicted isn't a problem where Blitzle is concerned.

Liberty Figter: noooooooo
Liberty Figter: Come on, buddy
Tetrinity: I have Attract, but... yeah :p
Perfect. My opponent only now realises his fate, and I can't help but poke fun over how many further options I had available to me. As it was, both Blitzle and my opponent's Mamoswine were male, and Game Freak is seemingly homophobic. Nevertheless, Blitzle was perfectly capable of achieving his victory. It all depended on one last turn...

And thus the battle was won. Blitzle stood strong over the battlefield, awaiting the next competitor with quiet satisfaction.
Props:
- Swagger. Easily the best move in the game, and it really shows here.
- My opponent, for fighting valiently against Blitzle despite the odds.
Slops:
- Blitzle failing to keep up confusion on turn two. That misplay could easily have cost us the game.
- Game Freak for preventing a perfectly natural infatuation through the medium of Attract.
