Well, this is the fifth time (only) I went to a tournament, so I build this deck. Nowadays, my area is less friendly with
Hitmonchan. Therefore, I tried to use mono Lightning and it is proven victorious. I think that's quite enough, so let's
go to the deck.

3  Lt. Surge's Electabuzz (Lv.28, 70HP)

Match 1 vs. John w/ Raindance
I drew a quite good hand, and since the deck's weakness is Lightning, I finished the deck easily.
He got a Blastoise out soon, but with Surge's Electabuzz's charge attack, a few PlusPowers and
Vermillion City Gym, I knocked out all his Blastoise a few turns after they all got out. The Articunos
were the harder part. Luckily, I managed to get out a few E.R.s and S.E.R.s to slow them down a
lot. While powering up his Articunos up again (without any Blastoise), he decked himself. (I had
only one prize left!) Oh well......

1-0

Match 2 vs. Lim w/ Meganium/Eggxecutor (slower version)
My hand was good, with 3 Rocket's Zapdos, a few energies and an oak. I plasma a few times to
knock out his Eggxecute and Electroburned one of his Meganium for the knock out. Unfortunately,
my Zappys died so I used my lone Pichu with Recycle Energy to stall, Zzzap his Meganiums and
S.E.R. combo. He got slowed down a lot more with all the Removal, Itemfinder, Removal,
Itemfinder, Removals, so, I managed to get Lt. Surge's Electabuzz with a few PlusPowers and a
Vermillion City Gym out and drew my last few prizes.

2-0

Semifinals vs. Peter the petrified w/ Wiggly/Trap deck
I drew a bad hand (1 Pichu, 1 Gold berry, 3 Itemfinder, 2 Gust of wind) and I loss the coin flip too.: (
Luckily the first card I drew was a Computer search. I searched an Oak, used all cards, Oak. By then
I got 2 Rocket's Zappy and one Electabuzz out. I removed his Jigglypuff's DCE, retreated Pichu and
knocked out two of his Jigglypuff. Luckily all his traps didn't work. By then I had a Sprout tower out
and he got a fully loaded Wigglytuff and a full bench. I was not so worried then, but when he got a
Resistance Gym out, that was the end for me. : (

2-1

Well, I got to choose two boosters, so I chose two neo. I got a Pichu : ) and a time Capsule. Well, it's not
too bad.

Props
Props to Nicky for selling me 3 Rocket's Zapdos for a low US$25
Props to my luck of getting a Pichu
Props to my friends for helping me build this deck

Slops
Slops to John's Articunos who were not willing to get K.O.d so soon.
Slops to my bad luck in the semifinals
Slops to Peter "the petrified" for his stinking Wigglytuff and Resistance Gym. (His name stinks too)

If you need help on building/fixing, be sure to send your deck and some other cards you think they
fit in your deck to me. (I prefer mono lightning)
