just this weekend I was in a tournament at games hobbies and collectables in 
Laguna Hills, CA. The tournament had around 16-20 people (somewhere in there) 
and was a three round, best of three tournament with the top four at the end 
in single elimination matches.After testing it at my friends house for hours 
on end before the tournament, this deck beat him 8 out of 10 times. Here it 
is...

energy:
11 water energy
13 fighting energy
3 double colorless energy(power those chanseys!)

pokemon:
1 poliwrath
2 poliwhirl
4 poliwag
1 blastoise
2 wartortle
4 squirtle

4 hitmochan(backbone of this deck)
1machamp
2 machoke
4 machop

2 chanseys

trainers:
2 pokemon traders
1 super potion
3 potion
2 energy removal
2 prof. oak

tourney results:
ending with a record of 4-2, I didn't make it to the final 4 elimination due 
to a rule where when a game ends, you count your prizes. Whoever has the 
least prizes accumulated in the event of a tie (in standings) moves on. this 
was unfortunate for me because my friend with only a brushfire deck got 4th 
and I got 5th because of this (damn stupid little...)!!! And when he 
advances, he imediatley forfeits!!!!!!!!
oh well...here are the results.

round one(ding ding): "bob" vs. 7 year old ( name unavailable )
a mono-electric deck with a electabuzz and voltorbs and pikachus, a easy 
match.
he starts with electabuzz only, I start with a hitmochan out and a poliwag 
and another hitmochan on my bench. he has a hand full of basics and no energy 
and I easily kill electabuzz...but he has no basics down so he loses.
The same thing happend in the second game so nothing much here...

round two(ding ding): "bob" vs. weird psycic/white deck
yup... psycic and colorless, lucky for me it was mostly colorless. He starts 
off with a kangaskhan out and a chansey on his bench. I had another hitmochan 
out with squirtle on my bench and later I would draw wartortle. I almost 
killed his...khan...uh...whatever but somehow he puts down two potions and a 
energy removal and stals hitmochan while putting down a double-colorless 
energy, he definetly stacked his deck. I hit him with Jab, but he put down 
another double colorless and uses comet punch. He got three heads and dealt 
60 damage, but not enough. I killed him with 10hp left and another loaded 
hitmochan and wartortle on the bench. Free cruisin' against his chansey from 
here, no basics.
game two was easier, he came out with a chansey and a drowsey and abra on his 
bench. I got machop out also with a chansey on my bench. He attached double 
colorless to his chansey and scrunched for the next five turns. eventually I 
got out poliwhirl and a pokemon trader ( the best trainer out there) and got 
poliwrath. my machop died gloriously against what became his kadabra after 
killing chansey (how he killed it, bad coin tosses by my opponent). after 
that, I advanced.

game three (ding ding): "bob" vs. mono-grass
Thiss was pretty one sided considering the guy was 25 and worked at the store 
the tournament was held at AND partly got paid in boosters... this guy came 
in 1st overall. I bring out hitmochan he brings out bulbasaur, he dies brings 
out pumped venusaur, I die, thats game one. game two was nearly EXACTLY the 
same! dang you Venusaur!

I didn't advance because of the prize card rule.

My deck should be used as either for Chansey to stall or hitmochan to catch 
your opponent off guard. use my deck properly and give me advice for my deck 
other than "less pokemon more trainers!!". It does well as is so please make 
it better.PLEASE POST THIS POJO!!!!!!!! TRY IT AND MY DECK WIL PROVE ITSELF 
TO YOU!!! thank you.
