Match 1 vs. Morgan playing a Psychic Deck that
Included Alakazzaam and Movie Mewtwo
Game1:I got Electabuzz and a CPU search in my opening
hand.  I ditched 2 Energy in
order to find Lugia and by the third turn I had
switched him in and was using him to clean
off the table (Mostly of Likitungs for some
God-unknown reason)
Game 2:This is one of the hardest games I've ever
played.  He defended pretty well as I
tore through likitungs.  Finally I got down to what I
call a "Live From the Edge of
Everything" Scenario.  I had 3 cards left in my draw
pile and I prize left.  I drew a Fossil
Magmar and attached a fire energy, I retreated my
injured fossil magmar in favor of the
fresh one and smokescreened his Mr. Mime.  He
immediately played a pokemon center.
The next turn I watched my draw pile deplete by one
more card.  That card was a Nightly
Garbage run though.  I looked through his discard pile
and concluded that there was
probably at least 1 likitung left in his deck. I
immediately shuffled in Lugia and 2 energies.
I then played a Bill and got Lugia back on the table.
I used my attachment for that turn to
begin powering up the big guy.  I smokescreened with
magmar and waited.  The next turn
he played a pokemon center.  I drew my next to last
card and continued powering up
Lugia.  Finally, on his next turn, he made the fatal
error I had been waiting for: he played
his final Likitung.  I finished powering up Lugia and
retreated Magmar.  I gusted in
Likitung to claim my last prize.    
Match 2 vs. Haibo with grass and fighting Deck
Game 1:Lugia took this game for me quickly and
painlessly by plowing through his bench.
Game 2:Lugia ended up in my prizes, bad vibes indeed,
but that have me a chance to
promote Scyther and Ditto: The colorless wonders.
After several turns of killing machops
using Scyther and later Ditto combined with evil
energy he brought out a hitmonlee.  Ditto
copied it and, with the extra damage inflicted by evil
energy, killed a machop he had
retreated earlier.  The next turn he stretch-kicked my
scyther and I tossed another energy
on Ditto.  Then, with the help of Evil energy, I was
able to finish off his Hitmonlee and
clear off his side of the table. 
Match 3 vs. Darryl with Raindance deck (This was for
the tournament so it was 3/5
instead of 2/3)
Game 1:Electabuzz dominated early until he brought out
a Blastoise (I obviously wasn't
paying attention somewhere along the line) at that
point I brought out Lugia and used an
Evil Energy to finish off the big shelled fellow in
one shot.
Game 2:I hate poliwhirl! 1.He can stall lugia
indefinently. 2.He looks all glassy eyed. 3.He
looks like he's wearing little dress shoes. Anyhow,
poliwhirl bashing aside I simply
attached energy to scyther while waiting to draw a
switch.  I eventually got 1 and
switched in scyther who plowed through poliwhirl in 1
hit.  He then sent out another
Poliwhirl, his last pokemon on the board, and used
amnesia on Scyther's slash attack.  I
then simply retreated Scyther for nothing and used
Lugia to stick a cork in Poliwhirl and
in that game.
Game 3:Darryl was fumingly angry by this point.  He
started with seal and I started with
Electabuzz.  I won on turn 2. Whoaaaah Darryl!

playing didn't pan out
