  Well, I got there just in time to help out. Our gym leader told us he did not want us to start battling or trading yet, he wanted us to help putting the tables and chairs down first. Almost all my friends were there. The gym leader told us we were going to start Victory Road next week, and he showed a sample of the booklet. Some people said it was kind of confusing, I did agree with them.

  Now on with the deck!!!

DECK (60)

Pokemon 19

Battle 1 Mewtwo's Revenge vs. Pain Amplifier Deck

  He kept getting no Pokemon, so I got the extra cards early. Unluckily all I can say is that my hand was bad at the beginning, but when he did not get any basics I drew new cards like 2 times, that's when I got the PP and Oak to help. It took a couple of Oaks to make a difference. He had his Doduo active, with benched Ancient Mew and Sabrina's Gengar. I had Wigglytuff active and full bench, I gusted out his Sabrina's Gengar, SER it, attached a PP, Oaked, hoping for another one but nothing came. I did 70 damage to it. He attached energy and retreated (darn!). He put out Ancient Mew and did 10 damage to Wigglytuff because of resistance. But from that point on it was easy because I destroyed the base hitter of the deck, Ancient Mew.

1-0


Battle 2 Mewtwo's Revenge vs. kid with a Grass Deck

  He was tough! The cards were not coming my way, no Oaks to help, no Wigglys, all I had was two helpless Mewtwos with no psychic energies. Guess what happened.

1-1


Battle 3 Mewtwo's Revenge vs. Dark Muk deck

  I started with a hand full of good/bad stuff. A Mr. Mime, Jiggly, and Mewtwo. Again, no energies, but soon a miracle, an Oak!!! I loaded Wiggly out but if it got in trouble, it had to pay 2 more to retreat because of Dark Muk's power. It ended with my poor Jiggly dying because it could not retreat.

1-2


Battle 4 Mewtwo's Revenge vs. Old Man Deck

  He started with Kangaskhan active, benched Chansey, Pinsir, Scyther, Kangaskhan, and Magikarp!? I started laughing at it, and he said: '' Looks can be deceiving.'' Yeah right! I had Jiggly and Mewtwo, with a Wiggly wating and double colorless. He just kept adding energies to it, soon he evolved it to TR Gyarados. Well he did not even use Gyarados when it came, it was just a bench warmer. He just kept healing his Pokemon, but soon ran out of poke centers.

2-2

He offered me a rematch, so I accepted.

Battle 5 Mewtwo's Revenge vs. a Raindance

  This match was easier than the other. He had a Squirtle, which he pumped up with energies. I used RSA his hand, he had 2 Bastoises 1 pp, 3 oaks, and energies. I made a BIG mistake and shuffled  his oak back to his deck. Anyway he told me that those were his only Blastoises on his deck. On the end of the game I needed an extra pp for KO. I had like 20 cards in my hand, I was afraid to Oak because I didn't want to deck before him. I ended up killing his Chansey in two hits.

3-2

After battling, I bought 3 Japanese gym 1 boosters and got Rocket's Moltres, Rocket's Hitmonchan, and Lt. Surges Magneton. I also bought 2 base boosters and got Scoop Up, Lass, and DCE. Then when I got home I received 3 Base Set 2 boosters and 1 Jungle ( I got them on Ebay.) I also got a holo Blastoise, non-holo Victrebel and Snorlax on the Base Set 2 ones. And a holo Pidgeot on the Jungle booster.
