water on Starmie and Slapped for 20.  I drew my card and got a electric
energy (YES!!).  I did thunder punch and killed starmie.  He sent out
Bulbasaur put a grass energy down and said go.  I played the plus power i got
in my starting hand and did thunder punch and flipped heads (bye bye
Bulbasaur).  He drew his card and sent out Venonat.  Stun spore and i'm
paralyzed.  I drew my card and got a Prof. Oak.  I played oak and got two
plus powers, two energy removals and 3 fighting energy.  I said go since i

This game was my easiest game i played.  My starting basics were Hitmonchan,
Electabuzz and a Fossil.  He put down a Tauros and a Lickitung and his
starter. He went first and put a grass on Lickitung and tongue rapped with no
paralyze. I put a fighting energy on Chan and jabbed for 40.  he put a psy on
lickitung and did supersonic but that also failed.  My turn. I play a plus
power and jab for 50 and K.O. Lickitung.  he sends out tauros plays a double
colorless and stomps.  My Chan is down to 40 Hp so i retreat for my full
powered Hitmonlee and high jump kick for the game.

basic...A Dratini! (hee hee).  I played a energy on Chan and jabbed. He went
and played a DCE on Dratini and played a defender and did pound. I drew my
card and got a energy removal and took off his DCE (he was really mad).  i
played a energy on Chan and said go because of the defender.  He evolved to
Dragonair and played a energy on him and said go.  I drew my card and got a
Electric energy.  I played a energy on Chan and did special punch.  He went
and played a DCE on dragonair (OH NO!). He slammed my Chan all the way to my
discard pile with two good coin flips.  My turn. I sent out my last Chan and
played a energy on him and then (wicked grin) jabbed for the GAME!
