Well, this was interesting. I find out that theres gonna be a sts tournament
15 min from my house and my friends can go, i can go and we got rides. This
is gonna be awesome. Two days later , the night before ,we ask our parents
again, they say in pokemon u cant win a million and wont let us go but of
course they r half drunk and r chanting we r the champions. We spend the
night, wake up at 7, go to george's, my friend's, house, we ask his mom if we
can go and for george's money, she says we cant go and pokemon is stupid. We
run back to my house test our decks for the last time and justin, my other
friend says he ll pick us up in 30 min., we say we may not be able to go. he
says to call him back. my dad says i can go if i want to be a moron, and
george's dad says he can go, later on we find his mom wont let him go. so, we
get ready, justin picks us up and we go! thank god! we get there wait in line
recieve an awesome jigglypuff and tournament card for 12:30. Ok i play some
kid with a stupid gym heroes deck grass/electric and whoop him by 5 prizes
before the tournament. my deck gets checked and they make me take out my

Round 1 vs. ?? Colorless
Well i felt soory for this 8 year old kid who forgot almost all the rules i
reminded him though. He had a lickitung and two chanseys. i let him have
almost no energy out and i had a chan that creamed his pokemon in less than 5
min. i won by no basic drew 3 prizes.
1-0
Round 2 vs. ?? Retreat aid/ elec. stall
Geess this was a game where at first i was whooping him and drew 4 prizes in
a hurry but he got a dodrio and kept reatreating back and forth between
chansey and zapados until he had no energy no hand and a dark raichu a
chansey another chansey a dodrio and a zapdos and a no removal gym on the
table ,i realize that gyms r handy and i now hav some in my deck, i finally
finished the game off with my mp mewtwo wow energy absorption rocks, and
hitmonchan alternating. won by prizes with 4 cards.
2-0
Round 3 vs. Wigglytuff/ chan/ buzz deck
Well, thinks were going for me and didnt stop, i got a oak early and of
course he had no energy cause of enrgy removals, i rember he built up a
wiggly tuff sent it out and super ered it and ered it. so i destroyed it and
eventually iwas just buzz and me get a fighting enrgy boom died, but he
maaged to snaek another jiggly in and killed chan , he evolved it i retreated
scyther sent out mr mime and he forgot to lullaby every turn, wow lucky
break, meanwhile i built up a chan took him out wiggly only one with energy
and crush his pokemon until i draw my last prize, won 5-1
3-0
Round 4 vs ??Gym heroes version of my deck [kind of]
Well, i read in an article that the new pokemon were better than the old and
this match proves it although he did have some base set.
The match the main event , gym heroes vs. base set and jungle
Well, he never could get enough energy to attack for a while but he did
manage to attck twice and drew one prize cause i retreated a ditto, wat was i
thinkin, my hitmonchan crushed his rockets hitmochans, my scythers defeated
his rocket scythers, i eventually won by no basic 4-1, i think.
4-0
Round 5, Finals!, vs. wigglytuff hitmonchan deck
Not bad for my first tournament. my friend lost to this deck with my wiggly
tuff deck that i made for him. I was somewhat afraid cause my friends deck
had beat me at my house. Well, he got a sucky hand and had a jigglypuff and a
hitmonchan. He pounded i ered and jabbed, he put energy on chan i beat
jiggly, he sent out chan, jabbed, i retreated chan sent out mewtwo with one
psy energy, energy absorption for double colorless, he jabs, i hav no psy

but we're late get in the car hes angery, car is silent, i say i won the
whole thing he says get outta here i go no really, we start opening the
packs. well i got some new gyms to put in my deck, yea, i revive my deck and
live to tell the story yipee i won no really i won i tell my neighbor who
owns all of the star ars cards and made it to the regionals, star wars is a
very complex game which i also play but that involves way too much thinking.
