Hello fellow Pojomaniacs.  My name is David Scharff and this is the first
time I have written to Pojo.  This morning(6-3-00) I went to Pokemon League
at Borders in Augusta, Ga(yes the same Augusta where the Masters is held).  I
brought my month old deck Electric Dragon.  A primarily electric deck, you'd
think my main weapon would be Zapdos or Electrode or something like that, but
they're not. 
It's Dragonite(hence Electric Dragon).  I'll now tell you my deck strategy,
and my morning at Pokemon League:

Pokemon:23

4 Dratini(3 base, 1 TR)
2 Dragonair
1 Dark Dragonair
2 Dragonite
3 TR Voltorb
2 Electrode(1 base, 1Jungle)
3 Pikachu(1 Jungle, 2 poke. league promo)
2 Raichu(1 base, 1 fossil)
2 Zapdos(1 base, 1 fossil)
2 Ditto

Energy:34
30 lightning energy
4 DCE

Trainers:3
2 Prof Oak
1 Here Comes Team Rocket

My main goal is to get out a quick hitting basic fast, or in other words, any
basic except Zapdos.While my starters are out, I use a few different things
to get my stronger Pokemon, like Dark Dragonair's power Evolutionary Light,
Prof Oak, and Rocket. I also have strategy for my big guys.
If you have base Zapdos out with 80 on him and Dragonair and Dark Dragonair
benched, what do you do?Evolutionary Light for Dragonite(hey I'm a poet and I
don't know it), evolve Dragonair to Dragonite, Step In and VOILA! A whole new
ballgame.  If you have a couple benched basics your foe started out with to
stall who only have 10 left? Get out there that fossil Raichu or fossil
Zapdos and get 3 at once!

As I said I'm going to talk about Pokemon League.  I felt mixed up because I
had so far been 13 and 2 with this deck the past 2 weeks, but near the end of
last week's session, I went to get my point book for points for a just
completed game, but it wasn't there. It was lost. Plus, I couldn't get my
Rainbow Badge or Computer Error for I needed my book for proof.  The lead
lady at the league, Lynn, said my book would show up next week. Alas! Lynn
was right! 5 minutes into today's session, my book was turned in. This seemed
to inspired me, for after I got  my badge and card, I got my other Com.
Error, my 1st holo Mew(you couldn't get that grid until after you got your
Rainbow Badge), and more than half way toward my 2nd holo Mew and my Marsh
Badge. How? Follow me and you'll find out:

                 Attendance: 10 pts.
                 Activity: 10 pts.
                 Games:14 x 10 pts=140 pts.
                  Wins:13x 10 pts=130 pts.
                  Trade:10 pts.
   So, the 3 10's make 30+130+140=300 pts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
most of my games were quick that's how I was 13-1 this week.Now, 14 games
would extend this letter to 3x its length as of right now, so 2 wins and my
loss is what I will tell you:


Me vs. Jacob(my brother)

Even though he is a year older than me and has known about the cards a year
longer than me, I still make better decks than him, and if you need the
proof, here's 2 wins to show you:

Game 1:ED vs. Punches of light
Corny name, corny deck.  This fighting deck is about as strong as my dead
great grandma.  He has a Machop and Spearow; me a Ditto, Dratini, and Zapdos.
 He wins the flip.
Machop low kicks Ditto, I return the favor, he returns my favor, me his, and
then his 10 hp machop kills Ditto.  So then out Dratini goes to kill
machop.Then out comes Spearow. Peck. Ow(who doesn't like sarcasm).Next turn I
get Dragonair and it's over.Slam:2 flips, 2 heads.Game.

Game 2:He's mad now. Ooh, his deck and him frighten me NOT! Again, it's
Machop vs. Ditto. He wins flip, kills Ditto in 3 turns. I send out a voltorb
I had benched and speed ball for the kill.Meanwhile, he had a Dark Persian
benched, who he sends out with Poison Claws poison included. So I bench
voltorb, send out Dragonair, and, again, slam fo 60 and the win.

Me vs.???

This kid came to me when I was 9-0.  I had soaring spirits, and they were
going to continue. WERE. He had a Charmander, me a Voltorb. I go first. Speed
Ball for 20. He goes, attaching an energy and A DEFENDER. Drat that defender.
Anyway he scratched. My turn, energy to voltorb evolve to Jungle electrode
his go. He attaches energy, evolve to Charmeleon my go. I tackle. He
flamthrowers. I tackle. He slashes. I send out Zapdos to stall while I build
on Rocket Dratini. He flamethrowers. A 2nd energy to Dratini his go. He
slashes for his 2nd kill. Dratini goes out and wraps. PARALAZATION! He then
drew energy search, got an energy, attached it, and then he evolved i  n  t 
o..........................Charizard.NO!Then he murdered Dratini for the win.

At trading  time I got an Alakazam for a Venusaur, an Alakazam  for Snorlax
and Pidgeotto, and a Wigglytuff and Electabuzz for BS2 Clefable.

Now Props and slops:
Props:Everyone who lost to me
            The guy who found my book
            The kid who took my retarded Pidgeotto
            Wotc for creating Pokemon
Slops: The kid who beat me
            Defender
            The kid who wouldn't give me promo Venusaur for  
            Alakazam
