	Weird. A Tri-Color Rain Dance! Can you believe it? It actually won its first 
tournament without playtesting! Maybe I have something new here.

	Strategy: Basically lots of Deck Manipulation to get out my big guns fast, with lots 
of Energy. Meta-Game against Electric with Hitmonchan and Machop. Mr. Mime and Chansey help stall.

	This deck was first played in a 32-person tournament in the Books-a-Million at Macon, 
Georgia, on 7/23/99. There were six rounds, the first three being in Swiss format. The next 
three were in Single Elimination, with the best 8 records. Ties after the Swiss wre settled 
by a single Sudden Death Match. All regular rounds were played in "Single-Match, 20 Minute" 
format. Arg...

	Game One: vs. "Mr. Technical"
	This guy was a jerk. He was so technical about everything, even saying that Pokemon 
were 'technically' knocked out, not defeated. What? Anyways, he was playing a Water Blast 
deck. He had some big guns out early, but Mr. Mime was out there. Guess what? I won! (1-0)

	Game Two: vs. Ummm... I think it was Brian...
	'Brian' (I forgot his name) fought me with my easiest opponent- Fire/Fighting. 
It was sort of a modified Starter, actually. He was very nice, but obviously not too skilled 
at Pokemon. I defeated him. (2-0)

	Game Three: vs. Jessica
	Jessica played a modified Overgrowth, which obvously worked well because she got 
into the finals. She KO'd my Chansey with only a Weedle, because of Poison Sting. I came 
back with a loaded Blastoise, and Hydro-Pumped to victory. (3-0)

	At this point, I had a tie for the best record. I was on the first seed for the singles.

	Game Four: vs. Victor (Quarter-Finals)
	My worst nightmare... Haymaker (dramatic chord)! He played very well, but with 
the inclusion of my Hitmonchan and my Machops, I hid out on the bench until that dreaded 
Electabuzz was gone. When all he had was a Farfetch'd, I brought out Gyarados and Dragon 
Raged. He lost because he had no Pokemon. (4-0)

	Game Five: vs. Nick (Semi-Finals)
	His typical Rain Dance vs. My rebel Rain Dance. Who would win? I started out 
with 2 Magikarps and a Squirtle. I sent out a Magikarp to start, and he put out a 
Squirtle, with a Magikarp on the Bench. My Magikarp died soon, but on my second draw I 
got a Mr. Mime, just as he evolved to Gyarados. I put out Mr. Mime as he sent out 
Gyarados. Gyarados couldn't do a thing, because it only had WWW. If he had another W, 
I would have lost. But thankfully, I drew a Chansey, just in case. I threw two Pokeballs, 
and got to search for one Pokemon. I looked for Gyarados, since I had a Blastoise. 
I evolved, then sent out to deal some damage. His Gyarados was KO'd, mine at 50 HP. 
Then he brought out a surprise attack- another Gyarados. The thing was, though, he 
didn't fully comprehend Double Colorless Energy. He thought it gave you two of any 
color. After a rules clarification by the judge, I KO'd his Gyarados for the win. Good 
game! (5-0)

	Game Six: vs. Jessica (FINALS)
	This game lasted maybe 3 minutes. Jessica got a bad draw and had only a Weedle. 
Again, Weedle KO'd my Chansey, but Gyarados went out and creamed Weedle. End of game. (6-0)

	MVP (Most Valuable Pokemon): Mr. Mime. Without him, I wouldn't have won, 
because I wouldn't have an effective as a staller as him.

	This is CHIAPR. Have a nice day!
