Ok, I am playing in the pokemon league and i haven't
been going that much ever since i was beaten for the
first time by a wiggly deck.  so i decided to come
back to day.  I only have 2 badge so some of the kids
who still plays the standard haymaker think they're
good assumed that i sucked. Anyways here's my deck.

Pokemon 7

3 buzz
2 scyther
1 erika's jiggly
1 chansey

Trainers 41

4 oaks
4 comp search
4 item finder
4 bill
4 plus power
4 rocket sneak attack (rsa)
4 rocket trap
4 imposter oak's revenge (ior)
3 misty's wrath
2 nighly garbage run
2 energy retrieval
1 no removal gym
1 eco gym

Energy 8

6 lightning
4 double colorless
2 full heals

This deck is, of course, a trapper. I saw a kid use a
wiggly/trap deck once and they were pretty good.  My
trapper is speedy, but it can also be use to stall if
they lass me or i get a bad draw.  My first day back
was a good day.

First match
My deck vs. shawn with original haymaker

This kid was the person who defeated me the last time
with his cleaner deck.  I started off losing the flip.
No!!!!!! he only had a hitmochan out and i had a
scyther and a buzz.  He started off with oaks and bill
but he couldn't get the one lass he was looking for.
Turns out it was in his prize.  He set down a scyter
on his bench and attaches an energy.  He passed.  I
got out the trapper combo early because i got an oak
in my hand.  My i drew an erika's jigglypuff and
pulled punch my way to victory with the help of pluses
and itemfinders.
1-0

Second match
My deck vs. ???? with wiggly/magmar deck

I had the perfect start. i won the flip and i had this
in my hand after the first draw. 1 E. Jiggly, 1 ior, 1
trap, 1 sneak, 1 comp, 1 oak, and one double
colorless. Scyther was my starter and he had only his
magmar out.  I put down the E. Jigglypuff attach the
double colorless and use the trap combo.  My trap
landed a tails and i used the oak to draw another trap
and an item finder. The trap worked this time and I
item findered the oak back.  I kept on doing this
until i got 3 plus powers and pulled punch.
2-0

I forgot the next five matches, but it was against
kids who were not that good.  A kid had a lugia deck
and the rest had raindance decks which i totally
demolished.

Eighth Match

My deck vs Matthew with t.r. zappy/trap

the kid feared this guy because no one had ever beaten
him before.  I saw this as a challenge and asked him
for a match.  I lost the flip to start off and i had a
scyther and buzz out.  He had a  buzz and a t.r.
zapdos.  He started off with his trapper combo which
destroyed my whole hand.  then he plasmaed and got an
energy from the discard pile.  I thought i had lost
when i drew and oak!!!  Halleluah!  I used the oak and
started the trapper combo on him and i also got my
chansey out.  I retreated scyther, add a double
colorless to chansey and scrunched.  It was tails.
Dang.  On the next turn, he attached a lightning
energy to his buzz and plasmaed.  He had a lot of
energy in his discard pile.  On my turn, i double
colorless chansey and double edged the zappy.  He
brought up his buzz and knocked my chansey out.  I
brought out my buzz and i drew an oak.  i use that to
get my pluses back from the discard pile and from my
deck.  I attached 3 of them and thundershocked him.
It was successful. YAY!  On his turn, he did not draw
any basic and he conceeded. We shook hands and he
congratulated me.
8-0

It was a really good day for me because i got to show
what those trash-talking kid what i was really made of
and i ended up getting another badge.  Time for props
