My deck is a water fire deck.  The tournament i played in was the sports

of 29 people.   The rules of the tourny were just to play four games and then
if you got a high enough score you got to me in the top eight and play 1, 2,

My first game was against some kid with a colorless, plant and physcic. A
modified power reserve.  When we played time ran out and the only reason i
won was because i had more prizes than him when the judge came by. 

The second game i played a kid named D.J. He had a complete power reserve,
with one modification.  He put in a vileplume evolution.  I beat him very
easily.  he only killed me once.  that was a squirtle i had a charizard out
and a charged gyarados on my bench.

My third game was against a girl named quinn. or something with a "Q".  She
had a water electric which should have destroyed me but i got out a
charmeleon out quick and finished the match with no contest.  I was really
lucky that i got him out quickly. 

My last of the first four games i played the number 18th ranked kid in the
world for pokemon cards.  His name was harry.  I got out a magikarp and he
got out a nidoran male.  and killed me in one hit! it wasnt even a fair
match.  it stunk. 

I got into the top eight and i played a little girl named rachael.  She had a
basic fire/fighting deck.  I got out gyrados out quickly and destroyed her
fighting and fire pokemon.  it was very easy.  then i was on to the next
challenger. 

I played some kid i dont know his name but he had glasses.  He had a haymaker
with hitmonchans, sythers, and lickitungs.  I got out gyarados and beat up
his hitmonchan but he got out a syther and with swords dance gyarados was
finished.  he beat me when i had two prizes left.  he went on to win and i
played a kid for 3 and 4th place.  I beat him and got 3rd place and a basic
american booster.
