Now I was at the columbia mall in Maryland at the store Babbages. I think 
there were about 28 perticipents and my friend was one of them.This took 
place June 11th. Well, here is my report.

Battle 1
		I was going against a kid name Tyler Morrison, which I think 
goes to my school. Well anyway, I think his deck was practically a copy off 
the overgrowth deck only 2 holographics instead of one. Some how he got a 
Magicarp on his hand and put it on his bench. I drawed a pokemon breeder and 
I already had a squirtle. I made quick work of his Magicarp with my 
Charmeleon. This is where he gets remarkably lucky (At first I thought he was 
somehow cheating.) He draws a Gyarados and evolves his second magicarp which 
was active. Now I know I am going to lose. I had only a puny Charmeleon out 
with four fire energy. He had 2 water energy on his gyarados. Then I 
remarkably drawed a gust of wind. I switched his Gyarados with his Venusaur 
which had no energy attached. He had 2 nidorans on his bench but he did not 
use energy trans on them because it was probably his last resort. I killed 
his Venusaur with one flamethrower and drew a Blastoise. I used pokemon 
breeder and then Raindance. 2 hydro pumps made quick work of gyarados. His 2 
nidorans went by easily. I retreated Blastoise and brought out Charmeleon. He 
had a Nidorano as his active with no energy. I scored a one hit k.o and won 
the match. That wasnt too long.

Battle 2
		This opponent was way too easy. Her name was Megan and she 
was playing a stupid starter deck with slight changes (There were no Machops 
and instead were replaced by 4 pikachus and I think there was less fighting 
energy.)
I got a starting hand with Squirtle and Wartorltle in it with 2 water 
energies.Squirtle paralyezed Pikachu and I evolved him. I killed practically 
3 pikachus by just biting. I drawed Charizard. The funny thing was that since 
there were no machops, she could'nt use here Machokes. She brought out a 
dugtrio. I killed it with one frie spin. She brought out pikachu and I went 
back to the biting routine again with Wartortle. then she brought out diglett 
and it died fast. That was a quick battle.

I went through many other battles but none were really interesting. I made it 
to the final eight and won first place. I've been to better tounaments 
before. I won 20 american boosters and 5 japenese boosters from jungle, 
fossil, and Team Rocket. I hope the next tournament would be more interesting 
other then it's prizes.
