Nicholas Valentine
Rising Waters Sinking Hope
Newport News Virginia
OK, I havent played pokemon since October of 99.
Fossil was out then. My deck was the talk of the tournement because I was
returning. I used to win the tournaments there all the time so all the
veteran players were really worried. I was to, with the popularity of
Rockets Zapdos I figured I would get beat out first out second round. Heres
the deck though:
Rising Waters, Sinking Hope:
Pokemon:(21)
2x Base Blastoise
1x Rocket Blastoise
2x Rocket Wartortle
3x Rocket Squirtle
1x Base Squirtle
2x Totodile (lvl.20)
1x Feraligatr (lvl. 69)
4x Chansey
2x Clefairy (neo lvl. 19)
2x Marill (lvl. 9)
1x Azumarill
Trainers:(18)
4x Professor Elm
4x Comp. Search
4x Breader
2x Nightly Garbage run
Energy:(25)
21x Water Energy
4x Double Colorless Energy
Ok I know your wondering what the clefairy's are
in here for. Squaredance with a potential to get 12 water energies. 5 water
energies on average with squaredance I think He/She should be mandatory in
all rain dance decks. Heres the tournament:
Round 1
R.W.S.H vs Rocket Zapdos
I start with a chansey a clefairy a squirlte a
breader and 3 water energies. I start with chansey to stall till I can get
out my big gunz. I start my turn second I draw and get a double colorless. I
attach a water energy to clefairy and pass. He attaches a fighting to gligar
and attacks. I draw, Blastoise. I attach a DCE to clefairy and pass. He
attacks I evolve and rain dance. I attach an energy to
chansey reatreat to bring out clefairy I flip six coins and get 4x energies.
He attacks w/ gligar. I retreat during my turn and bring out blastoise. It
was all down hill from here on out for him...
1-0
Round 2
R.W.S.H vs Status Change
I get a really slow start but to my luck I get an
elm. I play chansey and clefairy. attach to clefairy elm pass. He attaches
to koffing and smokescreens. I start emptying out my hand. I play another
Elm and pass. I play my squirtle and pray for a blastoise. I draw a card and
get it. With him having 4 prizes to my six I start to feel comfident. Then
he retreats G.O.W. out my blastoise plays venomoth flips, Im confused and
poisoned. I eventually get down to 1 prize and end up double edging for the
wind.
2-0
round 3
R.W.S.H vs Psychic uuhhh i dont know
He get stomped I get my second turn blastoise with
a square danced ready clefairy. I get my energies rain dance and i have the
capability to wipe out his bench with one hit of Hydro Pump. Thats how it
sounds thats how it was.
3-0
R.W.S.H vs a carbon copy of my deck
I dont know how but this kid has the exact same
deck as me except no chanseys and in place rocket gyrados and magikrap.
I start with a chansey a totodile a breader 2 DCE
and 2 water. Attach Scrunch with chansey and it works. Second turn Double
edge. He brings out a squirtle and passes. Double edge for the win.
4-0
Finals:
R.W.S.H vs Fighting and grass Meat Stew Surprise
I have no idea how this kid got to the
finals. I call it Meat Stew Surprise because it was a complete random deck.
The kids mom thats at least 30 played with a great deck and didnt get past
the second round. She whispers something in her childs ear. I could hear it
though. She was like make sure he shuffles he got a blastoise on the second
turn four games straight. My freind heard her to. He played the status
change deck. He was like actually he only got it twice and if you dont get
your main basic pokemon out early in the game you suck. She took it
offensive because she lost to my freind and turned around. I was like ok
look this a game. No one wants to cheat in a game. I think your jelous
because your childs in the finals with a meat stew surprise deck and you
lost first round. The whole store cracked up. So the game starts:
I get another second turn blastoise. He sees me
evolve and scoops.
Second Round
I start real slow but i get my clefairy chansey a
marill and azumarill. I get azumarill pumped and clefairy to fetch me some
energy. He had a chance to start killing my chansey wall but instead he does
deflector with chicorita my freind chuckles. Chanseys double edge take four
and i go second. I dont think i was gonna attack soon. i get DCE twice and
double edge. knocks out chicorita and he brings out phanpy. He evolves to
donphan or whatever and attacks it does nothing though. I dont know what he
did but i guess it had something to do with the number of damage counters on
him. I double edge again for the win.
