Yo pojo fans,
I would like to start off by saying i hate baby
pokemon. especially people who dont know how to play
them. Every body at the tourney I attended needs to
read up on their DCI floor rules. Everybody thinks
that baby pokemon rules apply to all pokemon. For
example, Elekid is on the bench I want to kill his
electrabuzz but he says "Flip the coin cause of the
baby pokemon rule" and I reply "It only applies to
baby pokemon" He calls the judge over and he says i
have to flip a coin. Oh well.
And now the deck:

3 hitmonchan
3 electrabuzz
3 tauros
2 gigglypuff
1 scyther

11 fighting enegry
9 electric energy
3 dc energy

4 plus power
4 gust of wind
2 item finder
2 rocket sneak attack
3 oak
3 bill
3 computer search
4 energy removal

Match 1 vs. kid w/ not a very good
deck(fighting/grass/electric/colorless)
He goes first. I get a good hand of tauros and
hitmonchan w/ oak, pp, pc search, and energy.
He starts off w/ 3 basics. Basically hitmonchan took
care of all his pokemon.
1-0

Match2 vs. Jared(psy/electric/colorless)
I flip, he go first.
I start off w/ another good hand. He started off w/
gastly. He places a gastly on bench and attacks w/ no
paralyze. I put hitmonchan on the bench, attach an
energy to electrabuzz and get heads. He evolves into
haunter and puts dratini on bench. I manage to wake
up. From then on all i remember is that i would knouck
out all put out. In the end he put out dratini. It was
all down to a flip if heads 40 if tails he would stall
me one more turn i flip its heads. I collect all 6 of
my prizes. he only collected 1 prize the whole time.
After that he gets up mad throws his stuff in his
suitcase and decides to count my deck in one last
effort to see if he could disqualify me. Nope all 60
cards are there. We shake hands at the end. On to the
top 3.

Match 3 vs. My friend w/ baby pokemon haymaker
(fighting/electric)
Now this is the match why i hate baby pokemon. I start
off w/ a bad hand: 2 Gigglypuff, 1 Tauros, and a hand
full of energy. He went first. I place tauros to
fight, and the gigglyies on bench. He placed a chan
active and benched another one. This was a quick one
for him. he got his baby pokemon out 2nd turn and i
kept flipping heads. I couldnt get an oak nor a pc
search. He won in 4 turns. Stupid baby pokemon.

Oh well I got third which wasnt bad since its a free
tourney. I get a booster and any rare of my choice i
think, next week when he gets his shipment of pokemon.

Props:
To everyone who participated........way to go!
My mom for taking me.
To me for getting third...i guess!
My deck for doing so good, considering it was a spur
of the moment thing.
Tauros who is such an underrated card......He kicks!!!
My friend for wining.

Slops:
To Jared for making such a scene after i beat him.
Baby Pokemon.

Pojo or Scott please post this!!!!!
