Well this is my first time going to the STS. I got there around 10AM. I met
Ness there and traded him a typholsion for a booster and mp mewtwo. I got a
holo jumpluff. I had to do some major deck changes after buying 3 more paks
from Ness getting slowking, and 2 magby. I finshed my deck with 5 minutes
left. I was in a mess cause some kid stole my deck protectors box(luckily my
deck wasnt in it). I also had a problem cause they found 60 cards in the
deck but only 59 on the sheet. I forgot to change it from 2 goldberry to 3.
Then I was ready. Heres the deck.

Round 1
Psybaby VS Brocks Deck
This kid was too hard. I started with elekid bench mewtwo. attach psychic to
mewtwo and and use playful puch for 20 on onix. He had a huge bench. He was
more int hus bench instead of basics. 2 turns later mewtwo was loaded and
defeated onix. he sent out brocks liktitung. and started beating up mewtwo.
Mewtwo was dead. I send out elekid and bench cleffa. elekid defaeats
likitung and he sends out sandslash. He attacks succesfully for the knock
out. I send out cleffa to stall but hes also defeated and i lose because of
no bench.

Psybaby VS Colorless
ok. This was a long match. I kept attacking and he kept using first aid. He
uses sabrinas kadabra which enables me to use mewtwo. i kill one and he
kills mewtwo and my other mewtwo kills his other kadabra. I get murkrow and
get it ready. Murkrow gets 10 cause of rainbow. He uses gold berry. He kills
murkrow.By then times up and its a tie.

Ok she started leading with one prize taken cause I was late.She started
with 2 Ledyba and I started with elekid and mewtwo benched. I did 2 puches
for the knock out. Then it seemed she was going to win cause all my punches
started failing. I brought in Mewtwo for the knockout. By then she had
mistys dewgong. I retreated mewtwo and used elekid. I attached energy to
mewtwo and punched with no success. She attacked with no success I attached
