The tournament starts.

Round 1----Game 1
Me vs. Chipmunk(David)
Hiyro-Shoten-Ha with Fossil(I think)
    He pulls Hitmonchan, Scyther, Electabuzz, I pull scyther, Abra. His Electabuzz is out. He puts a Fighting Energy on. I put DCE on Scyther, and ER Electabuzz. He is horribly energy screwed.(I hate it when that happens) His limp Scythers, Electabuzzes, and Hitmonchans fall to Scyther's furious blades. Doduo keeps bothering me. He Gamblers, drawing one card: Gambler. He Gamblers, drawing one card. Dodrio's on bench. He's got Dittos, and Electabuzz is out trying to recover from energy screwige. He's got enough energies. He KOs Scyther, but I've got another one ready. Damaged Electabuzz flees at the sight of the furious Scyther. Scyther catches 'buzz by the antenna, (with Gust)and Plus power for my last prize.
Round 1----Game 2
    Can you say deja vu? The exact same hands confronted us. Electabuzz, Then I just keep ER. Can you say energy screwed. Just read the first game over again to save me the trouble, because that's exactly what happened.
2-0

Round 2----Game 1
Me vs. Taylor
Water-Fight
    This guy hardly knows the rules. Luckily, he's not a jerk-off, when I tell him I can ER his DCE. He gets Rattata, Diglett, I get Abra, Mime. This is scaring me, because I can't hurt Rattata, until I get Scyther. I rip open Rattata, and watch the gore spill into the discard bucket. Dugtrio hardly knows what's coming until three identical heads accompany Rattata.(Plus power, weakness)
Round 2 Game 2
    He gets Machop, I get Scyther, Abra. He manages to get Rhydon out before I slice up Machop, but a grass weakness fighting isn't even significant to Scyther.
4-0

Round 3----Game 1
Me vs. Shawn
Raindance(2 Blastoise, 2 Gyrados, 2 Dewgong)
    Shawn's my friend, and gets Squirtle, Seel. I get Abra. (Where did this crap come from?) It is a paralyzing showdown(hehheh) until I get Jynx and bodily throw him against the wall meditating.
Round 3 Game 2
    Same thing, except he gets Blastoise and sprays away Jynx. I have Scyther, and Energy Removal. He is Screwed for energy, and plays a switch game until I kill Seel and Magikrap.
6-0 (Not bad?)

Round 4-----Game 1
Me vs. Chris
Haymaker
    Chris is  regular and plays an awesome Haymaker with Wiggly. He get Electabuzz, Chan, I get Scyther, Abra, Energy screwed. That really called the game for me. I wasn't able to do anything while Scythers, and Wigglys were whizzing deleriously by my head.
Round 3 Game 2
    Wiggly got out earlier, and I wasn't as energy screwed as last time, but his ERs took care of that gap. (Now I know how Chippy felt.)
6-2

Round 5-----Game 1
Me vs. Scott(not again!)
Gengar-Electric
    Scott pulles I think Gastly, 'buzz, I pull Abra, Mime. Abra is somehow mutilating Electabuzz while Gengar is being prepared. Pretty soon I'm looking at three Gengars. I managed to take out most of his energy, but he still has that one pumped Electabuzz,
I hate Electabuzz.
Round 5-----Game 2
    Scott does the same thing. He uses Chansey as a giant damage magnet, and has complete control. I see that he can instantly KO any pokemon he pleases, and I forfeit the game.
6-4

I get third and.....nothing
Scott, post some of your reports next time you go to Rama Llama please.
