    Today is the last day for this session at the Pokemon League.  I'm 100 points away from getting my Thunder Badge.  I'm also undefeated so far.
    I made a new deck.  It works better than my other deck.  In play testing I played against my friend Chris.  He just made a deck really quickly and I lost to it because his Ninetales kept on during Lure and I didn't have enough Scoop Up or energy to retreat and I decked myself.  The first round I used to cards on the right side of the slash.  I tried that to see if it would help with retreating, but it didn't so I switched back to my other deck.  Here's the report:

Round 1 vs Josh F. with a Fire and Fighting Wiggly Deck
This is the first time I've played Josh here.  I've played him a lot before a beaten him every time.  I drew my hand and got a Mew with no energy and no trainers to draw more cards!  To make matters worse Josh has a Jigglypuff active and a Machop on the bench!  His Jigglypuff turned into Wiggly and I could never beat it.  I did eventually get a Mewtwo out that took out a few Machops thanks to GOW.  His Wiggly was too tough to handle and I eventually forfeit because I had 1 card left and two prizes and Josh has 1 prize left.  I lose.  Oh well.  My first loss the session and my first loss against Josh.  Good game!  8-)

Record 0-1

Round 2 vs Chris R. with Vileplume Deck
I switched back to my other version of my deck with Electabuzz.  I used this deck the rest of the day.  We did a two prize game so I could get my Thunder Badge quicker.  We were allowed since it was the last week.  I drew my hand and got 2 Jiggly.  Chris starts an Oddish with a Venonat on the bench.  I got a Wiggly out the third turn and KO'd a Gloom and Venonat for the win.  Good game Chris.  You'll beat me sometime!

Record 1-1

Round 3 vs Josh F. with Fire and Fighting Wiggly Deck
I decided to play Josh again to get even with him for beating me. (just kidding 8-))  We did a one prize game.  I start a Mew with a Mewtwo on the bench.  Josh has a Scyther active with a Machop and Jiggly on the bench.  Josh went first.  He kept on giving Scyther energy so I just did Psywave and KO'd it with a Plus Power.  Good game Josh.

Record 2-1

Round 4 vs Chris R. with Vileplume Deck
Chris got no basics three strait turns!  We did a two prize game.  I start a 'Buzz with another 'Buzz and Scyther on the bench.  Chris has an Oddish and Scyther.  His Oddish eventually turns into Vileplume, but Electabuzz is to much for him and I beat it and Scyther.  Chris never got any energy.  Good game.

Record 3-1

    I won't be doing any reports for a few weeks, because there is a break between each session at the Pokemon League.  I wish a card shop around here would have a tournament.  Afterward I bought a booster and got Alakazam.  I also got another 5 Mews.  Oh yeah, I also got a Thunder Badge.  I think Josh is doing a deck report too.  Time for Props and Slops:

Props to Josh's mom for taking me and Chris.
Props to Chris for trading me a Movie Mewtwo.

Slops to me for losing.
Slops to this kid's dad for not listening to me on how poison works.  He thinks that the poison takes effect after your opponent's turn.  He said he asked Wizards and he won't listen to me.  It starts the turn you poison them.  Am I right Scott?
