I put in Abra, he puts in Squrtle Jigglypuff on bench.I put an energy on
Abra and keep Psyshocking him while getting Mr.Mime ready.Then after a few
turns he kills my Abra with a 10 HP Squirtle.Then I put in Mr.Mime and
pulled Alakazaam.His Squirtle killed my Abra with 10HP left.I killed
Squrtle.He put in Magikarp.I killed it in two turns.Then i just kept
massacering his Squrtles and Wartortles.I won and he did'nt even pull a
prize!

Score:1

Round 2
Opponent:Johnny with a Psycic Staller

   I got 3 mulligans so he drew 6 cards.Then i pulled Chansey and Mr.Mime
and some energys.I put in a Mr.Mime and so did he!You'll never believe
this.None of us took our Mr.Mimes out during the whole game.All we did was
attack eachother once.We both had 20 damage on our Mr.Mimes.After that we
never attacked.Well since he drew the 6 mulligan cards andused so many Bills
and Proffesor Oaks,before he knew it his deck ran out of cards so i won!

Score:2

Opponent:Luigi with a Haymaker

  This kid was spoiled.He had 4 Hitmochans,4 Scythers and 4 Electabuzzs!This
was a tough match.I destroyed all of his Hitmochans Because of the
weakness!Electabuzzs were slight harder.
He killed 2 of my Mr.Mimes and an Alakzaam!Soon I prevailed and whopped him
bad with Gengar and Kadabra.I won, while he killed 3 of my Pokemon.

Score:3

Round 4
Opponent:Justin with a Mono Grass

  Well this was just the easiest one yet!His deck revolved around Nidokings
