This deck did very very good in the tourny i competed in. I took first place 
and this was my first actual DCI Tournament!! We played four 1 game rounds 
and the people with the 4 best records competed for 1st 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. 
Only 1st and 2nd won prizes though.

Round 1: I was playing Richard. I think he had a grass deck. I found it very 
unusual that the only grass pokemon he was playing were the Nida and the Nido 
familys, I have never seen that before, but it worked pretty good against 
everyone except me.
I wiped him out without a fight with my Electabuzzes and Hitmos. Easy Match.
1-0

Round 2: I was playing Brandon, who had just wiped out one of friends fire 
decks with a pure psy deck. I was a little nervous, that he would have the 
advatage. All I remember is taht it was pretty quick. Again, Buzzes and 
Hitmos take him out, except Chansey was the game winner this time.I had 1 
prize and he had 6. I had Chensey, he killed his Kadabra and wiped himself 
out in the process.
2-0

Round 3: I think this kids name was Daniel or something.  He was also playing 
a Haymaker. I would have very easily lost if he hadn't run out of bench. I 
just got a very bad draw, stuck out a Buzz, pumped it, wiped his Buzz, 
barley, and he ran out of bench. Good try Daniel!! ( I think thats your name)
3-0

Round 4: Playing Eric, I think. We were the only 2 undefeated, and he was 
playing a very, very good haymaker. He stuck out Buzz, and I got out a hitmo. 
End of that story. He got the easy win over me, his Buzzes were unstopable.
3-1

Finals Round 1: I was playing Daniel again. The funny thing is, I had no 
problem beating him, but it toook Eric forever to. Same problem happened 
again for him. He ran out of bench early, very quick match. At the table next 
to us, a kid got caught with an illegal deck. It had 6 potions in it. And my 
friend Jason would have also been in the Finals if he would have been caught 
earlier, cuz he beat jason which put him 
Jason 2-2, and 3-1 automatically made it to finals.

Finals Round 2: Playing Eric again. This match was to see who won 1st and who 
won 2nd. I figured, that since in the middle I had 4 prizes and he had 2, 
that it was hopeless. BUT, my Buzzes the tore through him like it wasn't even 
funny.I then got 3 prizes thanx to 1 Buzz. That same Buzz took out his 
spearow to win the game, and the tornament for me. For first, i won 20 bucks 
in store credit which aint half bad considering that got a shipment of junle 
boosters in the next day and only priced them at $2.75 apiece! So, the next 
day I got 10 Boosters for only 7.50.
