Hey Poj. Well the tourney was a Gamer Guild in Corpus Chirsti. There were about 10 people at this one. Usually there are about 6-8 but today must have been special.

If you did well you went to the finals. If not, well...... Game one-me vs. micheal (he was playing a starter set with pazaz)~<:o)~ This kids brother is an ok adversary, but the kid was a pushover. Hitmonchan loves my first hand. I get him and elctabuzz out. 1 fighting on chan and jab for 20 on a charmander. He adds an energy on charmander for 10. down goes an electric for electabuzz. and another jab. 10 more for me. He is planning on have a charmeleon ready to kick butt. i put down another electric for electabuzz and use my pro. oak. Squirtle, wartortle, 4 water and a potion. I put down squirtle and evolve. I do not jab. I want to wait. 10 to me. A fully powerd charmeleon on the bench and that is it. I draw a Blastoise. (fun time) I evolve and use rain dance. I fully powered blastoise. I use jab to end it. I get oak as my prize(luck). out comes charmeleon. 30 and a pluspower kills me. about time. Out goes blastoise. I use oak. I get a seel dewgong magikarp itemfinder and 3 water. I use itemfinder and 2 water for the oak in discard. I evolve seel into dewgong. - I did this just for fun - i use the oak and get gyarados p.power and 5 water. i power magikarp and dewgong with raindance. they are powered . but blastoise kills in one hit. game two - me vs. chance.(psi and a electric. Uh OH.) I get a farfetched and a squirtle. No! But he only has a abra and a kadabra and a Zapdos waiting. gulp. So out goes farfetche'd. I use a double colorless and a electric energy to get to potsmash. he uses abra and he is gone in one hit. Oh yeah. Oak loves my opening hand aswell. I use removal a psi energy on kadabra to get by a little longer. I use Oak. WHAM! I get a magikarp, Gyarados, Charmander, Trader, Wartortle and 2 water energy(I am lucky today.) i use trader and charmander for a blastoise. I evolve into wartortle. And I put an energy on magikarp. Next turn is a bill. I get 2 water. I evolve into blastoise and power up magikarp cause unlike blastoise, gyarados doesn't have a weakness to lightning. By farfetched. I use gyarados to take out alakazam. zapados 1 more lightning.....Yes, he drew psi. I use gyarados to kill zapdos and that is "all she worte". game three-me vs. mr "i am to good to be stopped" He was playing a good starter set with 3 charizards and a few colorless pokemon. to make it short and simple. he thought his 3 clefiary dolls could keep me at bay while charizard built up. But with blastoise up to 60 and potions in hand. i made short work of him. Excelent deck. Only thing to worry about was me. LAdy Luck on my side. Professor Oak after Professor oak and nothing but water and the squirtle evolutions it was real short work. semi-finals me vs lance. We play at my house all the time. He knows my deck i know his. I kick his butt every single time we have evered played. He cheats. he sepperates his deck so he can get everything he needs when he needs it. he was playing water and grass. I send out hitmonchan and he snet out chansey. I go first and attack for 40. he uses scrunch and fails. I add defender to hitmonchan cause he uses double edge to try to win quick.. evidently he didn't see the defender and used double edge. by chansey hello hitmonchan. Well he sent out seel to stall while gyarados was on the bench. He knew i was going to win so he kept on using pidgeotto's whirwind attack to try to eventuall wear me down. But he forgot that i get to pick the pokemon that takes its place. He got mad and it was an easy win. finals.. me vs richard this kid is the master. Him, his brother, and me are the top people. If i don't get first, then it is a battle for second. All we do is think up deck ideas. Anyway. Electabuzz and Hitmonchan are the ones to do it. He send out abra and psyhock. It gets me so i can't attack for 10. Hitmonchan gets powered up. Even though he has a weakness he can do wuick damage. On the bench he powers up Dewgong and Starmie. I take out abra. Electabuzz does dewgong in two turns. But not before damage is done. Starmie and starfreeze just about do it. But not before my own dewgong blastoise gyarados charizard are ready to go. Paralized dewgong.. can't do anything. But evenutally recover and starfreeze fail and blastoise take care of business. I got first. A pokemon Wallet and two new boosters. -When they come out - It will be the jungle ones. Anyway it was all fun ANTLinkDD@aol.com Tommy Thomposn http://members.aol.com/ANTLinkDD/poke.html
