I remember this legendary battle with my best friend in 8th grade. Both of us had Pokemon Silver and are excellent trainers. However, neither of us has a level 100 Pokemon...

Anyway, the battle was quite even. Eventually, it turned to his side, and he was knocking off my Pokemon, but not without taking some very hard hits himself. I had one Pokemon left, my strongest L84 Articuno. He had about 4 Pokemon left. I finished the 1st of the 4, since all but one was low on energy. He had been saving a particular Pokemon until he really needed it. This time was now, and I was unprepared for his L91 Mewtwo. As a smart trainer, he led me into battle with no idea what I was up really up against...but that was about it. Luckily, I had forgotten this one thing I did a few weeks before battling. I had put a Focus Band on Articuno. I'm not the surest person of why I did it, but he gladly held on to it. Simply because of a mistake, his Mewtwo got me down to 1HP left. That, of course, was after about 2 turns. It was my turn again, and I finished his Mewtwo with an Ice Beam. He still had two Pokemon left...tired, but willing to fight. He pulled out...umm...I forgot, but I attacked. Its energy was climbing down, and then...stop. I was sure I was finished now. But then, "***** uses *****, but Articuno has Focus Band." I'm not sure if thats what it said, but I was bery happy. Not showing my joy, I finished his Pokemon, and he pulled out his last one. With Articuno being faster, and this Pokemon already low on HP, I attacked and finished the battle, putting yet another win under my belt. Since we were battling on a 16 seat Chevy, and we were on different rows, I was unable to shake his hand...or maybe he didn't want to...I'd be the slightest bit p!$$ed as well, but I was happy as f!@#. I held it in, and looked out of the window, thinking about the most epic and dramatic battle I've ever had...and probably will ever have.
