        This deck report is about my (my being Jeff's) tournament.  Mark
and
myself vowed that no one from Indiana was winning this tournament.....

Match 1
Jeff vs. Pauela Johnson (fighting and pyschic)
Game-1  I started with a ditto and an electabuzz.  She started w/
lickitung and snorlax.  My ditto tongue wrapped her until lickitung had
60 damage on it.  By this time, electabuzz and another ditto were
pumped.  I retreated ditto then took out lickitung.  Snorlax was pumped
and did slam and did not paralyze me.  Electabuzz did thunderpunch and
got heads.  Snorlax did slam again and didn't paralyze me.  I did
thunder punch and got heads again.  THen snorlax took me out w/ a slam.
Scyther then came in and cleaned-up he snorlax and machops.

Game-2
She had Lickitung and Kangaskahn.  I had 2 Dittos.  I went first.  Our
pokemon exchanged tongue wraps until she ttok ditto out because she
paralyzed it when it had 50 damage on it.  Scyther came in and took care
of Lickitung.  Kangaskahn came in and she started to build up her
machops and kabutos.  After 3 slashes, Kangaskahn was gone and machop
came in and stalled.  She had a kabuto with 4 energies on it but w/ a
gust of wind, it was gone w/ 1 slash.  After a couple more gusts of
wind, I had beat her.

        Everyone from the FEARSOME FOURSOME was still in the tournament
except
my sister who had lost but the kid didn't have a translator so she
should have beat him because he could have cheated.  Her cards didn't
come up anyway.  Mr. Lucas had a bye the first round. 

Match 2
Jeff vs. Justin Wright (Colorless)
Game-1 At first I thouhgt this kid had a Raindance because all I saw
were water energy.  After his 4 mulligans he finally had a spearow.  I
had a ditto and a electabuzz.  I went first.  I rtreated for free and
did 20 damage to Spearow w/ electabuzz because of weakness.  He didn't
do anything his next turn and I placed an energy down on electabuzz and
he was gone.

Game-2
He mulliganed only TWICE this game and got a bunch of weak basics.
Electabuzz and pinsir took the game.
        While I was waiting, Mark won his game and my dad was still
playing.  I
sold a 1st edition Zapdos and Blastoise to them for $50 total.  That
wasn't bad.  I got 2 dittos and a gengar and some boosters.

Match 3
Jeff vs. Mathew Cronster (Psychic and fighting; a stall deck w/ energy)
Game-1
I got Ditto and elctabuzz.  He got a Japanese abra and a diffrent
japanese abra.  He took out ditto but then electabuzz took out both
abras for the game.

Game- 2
I don't quite remember but he got out alakazam and kept on doing Damage
Swap. I conceided.

Game-3
He got out Alakazam but he lost its head when Pinsir came out.  The from
there on, I removed all his energy and took out basic after basic.

Match- 4 Championship
Jeff vs. Mark
Game-1
We both kept  removing eachothers energy.  I conceid after a taking a
beating from his ditto and scyther.

Game-2
I got everything I needed.  I had a ditto and scyther.  He had magmar
and ditto.  After I took out his magmar, I removed all his energy.  He
conceided.

Game-3
We kept on retreating our injured pokemon.  He had 1 prize left before
he used gust of wind and brought my injuried ditto back up and took it
out for the win and the Championship.

        Well I recieved $16 in store credit plus I had more money.  If
anyone
needs  Fossil Magneton or zapdos, I'm your man.  I got so many in
booster packs today.
