Hey Pojo, I'm a great fan of your site, and I've been waiting to post this deck. Though since in Fresno tournaments are hard to find, I had to wait to fufill your submittal guidelines. We had a large-scale tournament, at Manchester center, there was a turnout of about 20 people there though I must admit around five of them belonged to THRASHFEST '99. (From Chipmunk) Since I came late I was shoved right into the middle of the tornament. It was a one game elimination tournament, so there wasn't room for mistakes. Although the first game was a easy one. I played a kid with five colors, who didn't have a clue of what he was doing. I brought out Scyther and with swordsdance and slash, killed off his only basic pokemon...pidgey. That had only one energy on it. OUTCOME: I WIN (In fact in only two turns). This next kid was another pushover although he gave a little more effort than the last. He was playing a fire, water deck that had about 20 water, and eight fire. He brought out an Arcanine fully loaded. But was killed by Buzz, from help of Super Energy Removal. After that I just mutilated basic after basic until my last prize was drawn. OUTCOME: I win This kid actually had a decent deck even though he didn't make it. I saw him unwrap the plastic off the Blackout deck. He shuffled for about ten minutes, and each time he did it cards flew. When he was finally ready we dealt our hands. My basic was Farfetch'd, I oaked, and got just what I needed. I leek slapped and it worked, thirty down. His turn, none of the right energy to put on sandshrew. So his mom tried to help him out. Pretty sad, eh. And it looked like she knew more than he did about the game. Soon Farfetch'd was loaded with a double colorless and he pot smashed all his guys, giving me the win. OUTCOME: I win This game was tense and I wasn't looking forward to it, I had to play one of my friends decks. His name is Chris and his deck is the anti-haymaker, that can be found in the Deck Garage, under Chipmunks Chatter, listed as the anti-haymaker deck. It was a fighting psychic deck, that was a fair match to mine. My basic was Electabuzz, against his abra. Thundershock failed and I billed, and drew a S.E.R. and an grass energy. He retreated abra to put out a machop which after 2 more turns I killed with two potions. One turn he even chose not to attack, i don't know why. I this time period Abra turned into Kadabra that was fully loaded. Electabuzz was dead andout came Chansey which used Double-edge and Kadabra went bye-bye. He brought out a machop which killed Chansey. Now we were both down to one prize, I brought out Scyther, and slashed machop. Machop retreated and out came Jynx, whose doubleslap failed both flips. After one more slashes Jynx was down 30 and I was down 20. I used a potion and slashed Jynx again. He retreated Jynx and brought out Hitmonchan. I used my Gust of Wind killed his last pokemon, and I won. OUTCOME: I Win Also I was dreading this game I played another one of my friends, Paul, who was playing an odd haymaker, (water,fighter). This was for a championship spot. My friend realized that I was a better player than he was, and thought that I could do better, so he gave up to let me take the championship spot. I was going to play the person that was instructing the tournamaments, son. This kid had alot of cards to choose from I could tell, from the boxes of cards sitting next to his Dad. At three o' clock people gathered around to watch us play. The Dad(Instructor) made it his business that I shuffled correctly. We dealt our hands and I got nothing. One Scyther, and the rest was trainers. I go first and I glare at my horrible hand. But wait my savior, Professor Oak! That hand went straight into the discard pile. And out came a great hand I put a grass energy on Scyther and used swords dance and it was his turn. He fetched with Kankaskhan. I put a double colorless energy down and slashed for sixty. He again fetched putting a fire energy on a benched eevee. My turn Kahn was dead and out came eevee. Quick attack failed and did only ten, his loss. Electabuzz on my bench with and electric energy on him and in two turns evee was dead and out came a GOLDEEN! Was this guy hyped up on crack-cocaine when he made this deck- I mean geez. Horn attack, another ten to scyther. Scyther retreats and out comes buzz to finish off poor goldeen. Out comes a half filled growlithe that can't do ANYTHING. That Growlithe met the wrath of my energy removal and was thunderpunched. Putting a meowth on his bench he fills it with half-energy. Bye-Bye growlithe, I only have two prizes left he has all six .He does pay day twice put in two turns Meowth was killed by buzz anyway with not enough life left I retreat buzz, and scyther comes out to do damage to his dragonair, with one energy on it. His turn another energy on dragonair. Sorry but S.E.R. was just itching to play, goodbye to water energy. Another slash and it looks like next turn I win. He reteats dragonair and brings out meowth. My last turn I gust of wind bring out meowth and boom i win!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!! Now ever since I had been playing this kid every time he lost a pokemon he looked at his dad. But now he looked at him long and cold. I won without him even drawing a prize, yeah. For winning the tournament I recieved a jungle booster pack, a starter deck, Venomoth HF, Magneton, and Poliwrath. Along with the copy of the duelist, pokemon edition, eight promo Japanese cards, and a bunch of pokemon stickers and small little collectible game pieces, made in Japan.
