My name is C.Dennis (sintancos@hotmail.com) and this is the deck I 
used in a local tourney, I call it 4 SCOOPS OF HITMONCHAN . There was 
about 28 people divided into 4 pools and the person with the most wins 
in their pool after playing everyone in their pool. I (of course) came 
out as the winner.

4x Hitmonchan
4x Electabuzz
4x Machop
3x Doduo (probably spearows when jungle is out)
4x Scoop Up
4x Energy Removal
2x Super Energy
4x Bill
2x Proffessor Oaks
3x Gust of Wind
2x Computer Search
2x Item Finder
12x Fighting Energy
10x Lightning Energy

Hitmos and Electabuzz are there for fairly obvious reasons.  Machop is 
a smaller Hitmo.  Doduo is better (imo) than farfetch'd for 
anti-fighting because he runs for free.  Scoop Up really annoys 
people.  Energy removal is just plain good. Bill and Oak are 
necessities. Gust of Wind helps deal with big pokemon in the way of 
the little ones.  I'm only gonna use one computer search next time and 
switch it for an oak because I usually searched for Oaks. Item finder 
is really under-estimated by many but it lets me reuse my scoop ups or 
oaks or energy removal.

My first 5 or 6 opponents were a bunch of little kids who were using 
decks that very little thought put into them.  Bulbasaurs, Pikachus 
and Staryus don't stand much of a chance against Hitmonchan and 
Electabuzz.  Those matches ended really quickly and I don't remember 
their names.  

My only serious opponent before the finals was using some sort of Rain 
Dance deck but his Squirtle was no match for my 
second-turn-kill-electabuzz. The second game I only had two doduos and 
he had a gyarados out on the 3rd turn or something.  I on the other 
hand had two doduos and a machop by then...I then proceeded to draw 
energy until his gyarados wiped out my last doduo.  The third game was 
different however as he managed to get out his Blastoise but Blastoise 
can only do 60 at best so my Hitmonchans and Electabuzzes stayed alive 
and I would then scoop them up and energy removal him and kill him 
finally with thunderpunch. So I had made it to the finals (elite four 
as some had called it).

I was paired off against my friend who was using an energy-removal 
deck that used Polywraths and Dragonairs and of course energy removal. 
Unfortunately for him I knew his deck really well and knew that his 18 
or something energy was nowhere near enough. So I figured I could beat 
him at his own game.  The first game went much better for me than I 
expected.  We draw hands, he has no basic, I draw 2 more, he puts out 
a basic I put out Hitmonchan and Electabuzz on the bench and Doduo as 
active. We flip, I go first.  He flips over...Dratini! Doduo retreats, 
Hitmonchan comes out and administers beatings.  Second game I decked 
myself because of his darn energy removal and my repeated oaking and 
billing.  The 3rd game I administered beatings with Hitmonchan, Machop 
and Scoop Up before he could get a Poliwrath or Dragonair out.  I told 
him he might want to put in some pokemon traders, he told me where to 
go (some friend).

The guy I was against for 1st place I had played the week before and 
really mopped the floor with him.  He told me he couldn't lose now 
because he had a deck practically identical to mine (then...heh heh) 
with a few things added designed to beat me (whatever that was is 
beyond me).  Anyways my deck last week had hitmo's, machop family, 
rattatas/icates and some potions and energy removal but no birds, 
electabuzzes or bills.  Well, the first game was something like the 
first game with my "friend", only faster. He sent out rattata, I sent 
out Hitmo...'nuff said.  Second game my doduos waste his hitmos and 
machop, and my hitmos wasted his rattata and my scoop ups made it 
really hard for him to kill any of my pokemon. It ended 6-0 and I went 
home with the prize of 15 boosters (second got 5 I think)
