Round 1 vs. Ritchie(non-Raindance mono water)
I am teaching this guy to be a better player. I felt sorry for him, because he had to play me in the first round.
He hides behind a Chansey which I tear down with a buzz. All he has are Squirtles, Poliwhirls and wags, and an Articuno. I quickly won this.
1-0
Round 2 vs. Gabriel(lgt. psy, didnt really get to see it)
 He starts off with a buzz? and a fossil zapdos on his bench. I gust his zapdos and murder it with magmar. He was putting energy on it too?! He did the same with dragonair(putting energy on it, but he didn't have a chance to attack with it). he retreated pokemon to stall but gusts and magmar's poison abiltiy.
2-0
Round 3
I get a bye in the semi's.
2-0
Round 4(semi's versus Jay playing a haymaker)
Ok i didnt want to play Jay and he didnt want to play me. We decided to go best of 3. I shouldn't have opened my mouth:)
Buzz vs. buzz early. His magmars prevent me from using scyther most of the time. I battle hard with electabuzz, magmar, and tauros. Man tauros was kicking butt! We did the weakness dance a few times and i eventually won.
Game 2
This sucked. Bad hand, bad draws. Jay used an oak and 3 bills in one turn. I tried to deck him and almost did but magmar didnt last long enough
Game 3(the decider!)
Much different from before.  Got tauros out early and he was stompin like crazy! It came down to and electabuzz with 10 on it vs. my tauros with 20 on it. He had no bench. I draw a computer search!!! i get a pluspower and rampage for the win!
Finals(sean w/ psy elec.)
By now we were all tired. Sean automatically was in the finals because hes a gym leader. He knows i can beat him and i have in the past. He forfetted and i won.
I got 2 promo pikas, a prerelease aerodactyl, 150 points, and a milky way. They ddidnt have any boosters left:(
PROPS:
To Tauros for saving my butt in the semi's
To Books-a-million for the great tourney
To Jay for a great match
To Sean for not playing me.
SLOPS
To Carlton for losing in the quarter finals? theres always next week!
To Sean for not playing me(it was good and bad)
That's it, til next time....
