This was my first Tournament, it took place at Adventures in Comics in
Sacramento, California. This was a DCI event for kids 12 and under.  I was
the only girl with about eleven other boys (yuk).
I was very nervous because I've only played my dad at home.  He wouldn't let
me play in a tournament until I knew some stradegy and most of the rules of
play.  This is how the day went:

Here is my Deck:

Pokemon: 14
3x Hitmochan (Best pokemon out...I need one more)
3 x Scyther ( Powerful and moble)
3x Jynx ( Will Kill Hitmochan)
2x Mr Mime ( This guy is great against the heavy hitters  )
2x Farfetch'd( I like his Leek slap works well with Scoops)
1x Kangaskhan (Stalls and Comet Punch is not bad too)

Energy 10xPsy,  9xFighting, 4 D.C    23 total

Trainers:

4x Bill
2x Professor Oak
2x comp search
3x GOW
4x E.R
1x S.E.R
4x Powerplus
2x Scoop ups
1x energy Retrieval

My first match was against Kevin( I think) He had a Deck with Dragon Air,,
Drogonite and I'm not sure what else. I got the worlds worst draw and got Mr
Mime and Jynx against hit dratinies and soon dragonairs and Dragonites. He
killed me and I ran out of Basics. Akk bad start! 0-1

Things got better this game, My opponent hada water deck with Polies and
magicarp Hitmochan came out with bech support( Scyther and Jynx) killed poli
wag and magicarp with Hitmochan and he ran out of basics. 1-1

Next I played a Grass Deck with Muck and once again Hitmochan dominated. He
drew Grimer with nidoran on the bench.  Hitmo killed them easily and he was
out of basics...2-1

Next round was a bye...

I guess If I win one more I'm in the finals....
I played a guy with a classic haymaker
He Drew Two chancys and All I got was Scyther and Mr Mime..
He started lay energy on Chancy, but I had plenty of E.Rs. scyther Slashed
him away. He powerd up the second Chancy and Killed  Scyther. By now I had
bech support with Hitmochan and Jynx.
All he had was Eletabuzz. Hitmo took out Chancey and Out comes His
Electabuzz not match for Hitmo. He finally got a Hitmochan on his bench and
finished off my hitmo. Out comes jynx and Meditates Hitmo away.  Scyther and
Jynx finished off the rest.  He was a good player and it was a close match.
3-1

On to the finals...I was very nervous and everyone was gathered around.  My
opponent muliganed 4 times and I had a hand full of cards. He had a Mr. Mime
Deck and once again I didn't get the right pokemon out I had to Scythers and
Mr. Mime and Kangas. He gusted up Kangas I was in trouble ... I was so
nervous I forgot to use some of my trainers and he ended up beating me.  I
had fun and I know I'll do better my next tournament  this Deck is very
good, especially played by an expierenced player.
