>Round 1- 
>Game 1-

>mercy, eh?
>Game 2-
>Same old same old. The little kid just like the last round. I felt REALLY bad 
>beating this kid.
>
>Round 2-
>Game 1-
>Playing against someone who is very good. Finally some competition. His deck 
>is Colorless/Water/Fire. First game I get a really crappy hand and forfeit 5 
>turns into the game. So now I have to win 2 games in a row!
>Game 2-
>I get a fairly decent hand. He does too but is short on energy. I get Dewgong 
>and 2 Wartortles ready and kick the crap out of him. Boy was he p-oed.
>Game 3-
>We go into game three. He has strategicly put all of his energys in different 
>places. I don't really care. We draw and uh-oh... mesa get Seel 2 water 
>energy 1 psychic energy 1 dewgong a super potion and a super energy removal. 
>I get dewgong out very quick. Then I get a Wartortle out too. He forgot about 
>weakness and sent out his Charmeleon. He actually had a super energy removal 
>in his hand but didn't use it because he forgot about weakness. That was his 
>breakdown. I win round 2.
>
>Round 3-
>Game 1-
>Playing against a girl with a modified Blackout/Water Blast. She's pretty 
>good but not that good. She has an energy shortage. I get the dewgong out 
>quickly and lay the smackdown on her. She's mad mad mad.
>Game 2-
>Ditto as last game only she gets energy. I kick the crap out of her even 
>more. I do a little jig as I go into the finals against a really rich kid 
>with a deck with like 6 or 7 holos.
>
>Round 4-
>The Pregame Show =)-
>See the second place prize was going to be 20 booster packs. 10 first edition 
>jungle. 10 basic. I really wanted those. The first place prize was all of the 
>theme decks and a starter set. Sooo we decide to split both prizes. So this 
>game has no meaning really.
>Game 1-
>Ouch. He blows me out big time. Did I mention his deck was Grass/Colorless? 
>Sorry hehe.
>Game 2- 
>For some really weird reason. He lets me win the game =/ oh well his bad.
>Game 3-
>I laugh in his face as i get a Chansey and he gets a Nidoran Male out. 
>Hehehehe. I scrunch a few times. He horn hazards me once for 30. And then I 
>double edge and win the tournament! Yipee! Hehe.

>I hope this deck helps and shows that uncommon water Pokemon can kick
