The tourney I played in was at toys r us in Moline Il, on the 10th of
June.  About twenty people were there all with very good decks, most of
the players there are around my age (21) and some younger players.  I
actually got the idea for this deck from the gameboy trading card game,
The mysterious pokemon deck, from the legendary deck machine but I did
some tweaking and found a very useful was to combo Alakazam the man and
the promo venusaur.
The deck:
4 Bulbsaur
2 Ivysaur
2 Promo Venusaur
3 Abra (rocket)
2 Alakazam
3 Scyther
3 Chansey

13 Grass energy
7 psychic
4 DCE


2 Pokemon center
3 breeder
2 Computer search
3 Garbage run
3 bill
3 oak
2 traders

The first battle was against a Dark golbat reshuffle deck
I start out with nothin but a chansey and Abra, he has scyther and two
zubats.  I take the coin toss and attach double colorless to chansey, I
scrunch and fail. He puts down dratini and adds a energy to scyther.
I draw another chansey and add a psychic to abra and scrunch.  He builds
up scyther and starts pounding away and then I realize the deck
possibility of using dark dragonair and some deevolution sprays and
fujis to  constatly recycle the dark golbats.  He probably put down the
dark bat 8 or nine times during the game.  I quickly got alakazam and
kept swapping the damage unable to do any of my own for lack of energy
and whenever I got into a bad spot luckily the pokemon centers came out
at the right time again.  finally i built up the venusaur and swapped 20
damage to it if I could and got rid of it using mega drain. I won due to
no cards in his deck.
1-0

second match vs. little kid using a pre constructed theme deck.
He matched my weakness with his firey feinds but to no avail.
I started with chansey out front and syther and bulba on the bench, he
had goldeen.  I took the toss and placed the DCE on the eggman and
danced a scrunched and failed, but I danced a jig anyway.  He adds and
water and horn attacks me, Ohhh Noooo! I add a energy to the cholesterol
filled chansey and scrunched succsesfully using my lucky meowth coin.
He finally gets another basic pokemon and puts the poliwag on the bench,
adds a energy and horn attacks again.  I put another energy on chansey
evolve to ivysaur put down scyther and double edge fishing out his
goldeen.  He brings up poliwag and squirts me for another ten having
only ten hit points left and him having no benched pokemon i double edge
commiting hari kari and winning the game. 
2-0

Round 3 vs.excavation deck
I draw a scyther, abra and bulbasaur.  He mulligans and I get a bill and
a breeder.  He wins the toss and adds a energy to hiskangaskhan after
quickly moving away his diglett, and fetches.  I add a grass to scyther
and bill, picking up a bulba and computer, scyther does his dance of
swords.  He adds another to kangas and lays down a hitmonchan, bills and
fetches.  I search for a double colorless and attach it to scyther
evolve into ivysaur and slash for sixty, he starts to sweat.  He adds a
defender and an energy to chan and uses boss's way to grab a dark
dugtrio, he fetches.  I then add a grass to ivy and oak it up for
alakazam a chansey and trader, I slash for ten.  He lays down a ditto
and adds an energy to chan. and fetches.  I add an energy to ivy and
trade one for venusaur, evolve the alakazam and let the stall begin, I
take out the kangas for a center. He brings up chan and punches for ten.
I add a grass to venus and dance away, doing the mantis wiggle.  He
foolishly offers the challenge card so I use it to grab another chansey.
He takes a ditto and kangas and diglett. He gusts my chansey and pounds
for eighty. I swap the damage around and add energy to alakazam and
pass.  He evolves to darkdugtrio and gusts my other chansey for a knock
out. I bring up vunusaur attach and energy and twenty damage and mega
drain the chan man.  He brings up a naked ditto and attachs an energy to
kangas.  I continue to us the swap the energy and drop it with the drain
method until I have a bench filled with powered up pokemon with no
damage counters and one prize left against a dark dugtrio with my venus
saur and win 3-0

I would have played more but we ran out of time, but a productive day
none the less,

Happy gaming to all
