Round 1- this round was against a kid with a pure water deck, and it
was a little too easy.He didn't even have a blastoise or poliwath. I won it.

Game 1-his first pokemon was a staryu and mine was a kakuna. I killed his
staryu with my kakuna while evolving my other kakuna and putting energy on it. My kakuna eventually

fell due to being paralyzed bya squirtle, but I then came out and killed all his other pokemon with my

beerill and won the game, because he drew only 2 energy for the next 5 rounds and was getting bad

coin flips for his squirtle.

Game 2-He draws only 1 basic, a poliwag, and i drew a Arcanine and a Dragonair. I killed his poliwag

and then a porygon he drew at the last second to win the game.

Round 2-this round was against a kid who had 5 colors in his deck and no
trainers but was crammed with energy. it was very very easy.

Game 1-the only basics he draws are a jynx and a squirtle, and he gets 1
psychic energy out of all the energy in his hand. i had a few charmanders
and a growlithe in my hand, along with a pokemon trader. He hits twice for 10
and once for 0 with doubleslap against my charmanders, so i just traded my
charmander for a Charizard and killed Jynx. He had no water energy so i killed his
squirtle easily. end of game 1
Game 2-He has a bulbasaur and a doduo, and he only draws 2 plant energy,
both of which he puts on bulbasaur. This time i have a ivysaur and a
vulpix, and a super energy removal. After he places both energies on bulbasaur, i
use super energy removal on him and killed that with my vulpix. His doduo gets confused
from my vulpix and winds up killing itself for me. He tried to put a
squirtle in his active slot from his hand but couldn't so i won the
game.

Round 3-This guys deck was pure colorless, and was crammed with chansies
and clefairies. This was actually a pretty hard match.

Game 1-This was actually pretty funny as we both put chansey's in the
active slot, and kept scrunching for 9 turns, fearing that the other guy
would retreat. In this time i managed to get an Arcanine with 5 energies
on it with a vulpix and a farfetch'd for support, and he gets 2 fully
powered clefairies. the rest of the game was basically my arcanine vs.
his clefairies and dragonairs, and i finally won my last prize with a
vulpix and confusion.
Game 2- All he draws is a dratini and i get a Charizard. It was a
shame, because i was looking forward to playing with him.

Round 4-The only round i lost. This guy was playing a pure water deck
(ouch) with a lot of gyarados's (ouch!) I still won 1 game by luck

Game 1- His only basic is a magikarp vs. my ivysaur. Thank god, thats 1
win
Game 2- He gets out a squirtle which kills my growlithe, and mages to
evolve a gyarados on his bench and power it up before the squirtle and a
poliwag he sent out die to my fighting half. That gyarados dominated the
rest of the game, and killed my arcanine in 1 shot! 1 loss
Game 3- This was the only game where i got a crappy hand. i get out only
1 vulpix and i only have 1 fire energy, not enough to power it up. It
dies and i lose.

So, my deck did fairly well, and i only lost because of weaknesses. I'm
looking forward to any suggestions you have to make for my deck.
