And it was a blast! Anyway, here’s my report: Okay, the day before the STS we got into the car, and drove to the convention center. I quickly traded for 3 more Darks for my deck, added them to my deck list, and signed up. Then I decided to find out about how the competition was for 10 and under. I saw Feralisect, Crobat, one Erika’s Bell, but Typhlo/Canine was nowhere in sight. That was pretty good. I decided to have a quick match with a Crobat deck to find out how my deck would fare. Into the middle of the game, he had to go, but little did I know that this guy’s deck would do awful Day 1, awesome Day 2. I left soon after, and I slept thinking of the STS. I woke up early, and got ready. Ate breakfast, got into the car, blahblahblahblah. When we got to the convention center, we got to the right hall, and showed our wristbands. When we got in the real STS place, we were amazed at the size. I ran over to the 10 and under to get the scoop on the opponent’s decks…again. My brother lingered around the Create-A-Card before joining me. Later he, since he didn’t like Modified (how is it possible not to like Modified???)and didn’t play in the main torney, joined the standard side event torney. He did quite well. Anyway, the games started quickly, and I got ready for a full day of funfunfun! BTW, I’m don’t remember any names, sorry! Day 1 Deck: 4 Slowpoke (NG) 4 Slowking (NG) 3 Psyduck (Fossil) 3 Dark Golduck 2 Murkrow (NG) 2 MP Mewtwo 3 Cleffa (NG) 4 Elm 4 Balloon Berry 3 Chaos Gym 3 Focus Band 3 Double Gust 2 Rocket's Hideout 2 Secret Mission 2 Wrath 12 Psychic 4 Dark Match One vs. Steelix/R. Zappy Well, this was fun. I got Murkrow out with 3 Dark Energies, and knocked around a Pichu. Then, he had Steelix with 2 Metals…annoying. Luckily, due to Focus Band and Feint Attack + 3 Darks and Feint Attack not being effected by Metals, I knocked it out too. He then got an energy-less Steelix, but Murkrow did enough damage to it so that MP Mewtwo just knocked it out. Hehe. Luckily I didn’t play Psyducks, but even if I did, he didn’t get any Rocket’s Zapdos out so that was cool. He was a really cool guy that lives in SD too. I made friends with him sorta and then I awaited match 2. 1-0-0 Between Rounds: I’m looking for my next opponent to show up, and I hope for a no-show, but too bad=/, she came… Match Two vs. Extreme Fortitude God this think is soooooo annoying. I should have put some Elekids to put up with the Champs. Anyway, I first turn Chaos Gym her and start building some guys. She tries first turn Giovanni and shows me the Gio Machoke and Champ she’s trying to evolve onto the Chop that is benched. Hehe. I tell her to Chaos Gym, and she flips tails! Hahahah! She’s all mad now. What the heck! She gets Champ out manually as I KO active Cleffa. Then Champ starts being mean to me. She attached Focus Band and gets heads for Chaos=/. Little did I know that this massacre weapon was the evilest thing ever to set foot on this planet…literally. Anyway, I don’t think much of it and start off with a Murkrow. She gets all tails TWICE! HAHAHAHAHAH! So, I hit her with Feint Attack for KO. So Fortitude flip…heads! Darnitdarnit! So, she’s alive and knocks me out with 3 heads. I send up ol’ Dark Golduck and hit her with Super Psy. Fortitude…tails. Focus Band…tails! Oh yea baby! That’s awesome. She sends out baby after baby while building up Champ #2. Finally she’s ready and pits Champ vs. Mewtwo. Mewtwo whacks Champ for 80. Champ knocks out Mewtwo with 3 heads. Argh! I send out Murkrow, and Feint Attack. Fortitude is good…darn. She attacks with Hurricane Punch, and a Focus Band saves me from death. I hit her with Feint Attack, Fortitude is good. He gets all tails again. I hit her with Feint Attack, and Fortitude is good again. She knocks out Murkrow and time is called. We both have 1 prize left, and its my turn. I attack with Dark Golduck. Fortitude…head. Darn! I tie! 1-0-1 Math Three vs. Less Fortitude Like the last deck but not as good. I am scared, but Mewtwo gets lots of play this time. It wipes out 3 Giovanni’s Machamps (different Mewtwosare used, not only one). Not too hard. 2-0-1 Match Four vs. Feralisect Finally! Time to test my Slowking lock! Hehehe. I get turn 1 Chaos Gym, and its erased by Healing Fields=/. She play Parasect too early though. I lock it, play 3 Kings, and lay Chaos Gym again. HAHAHA! I start murdering benched Ferals. Slowking stops Healing Fields, so she loses. Cheap trick, but deadly…hehehe. 3-0-1 Match Five vs. Magcargo I lock Slugma, and he’s dumb enough not to attack with it. I just murder benched Cargos and the such and win. Later he finds out that he could have won by attacking Murkrow. Slowking stops his Double Gusts too! Hehehe. 4-0-1 Match Six vs. ??? I can’t remember this, I just remember I won! 5-0-1 Match Seven vs. ??? See Match Six=/. 6-0-1 Match Eight vs. Erika’s Bell This match would determine if I made top 8 or not. He starts 0wning with Erika’s Weepinbell, but then after I KO it I start 0wning. By some miracle he gets another one, and Sleep Poisons me to win the game. I just never woke up!!!! I don’t make top 8…L. What the heck… 6-1-1 Well, I had a blast. I did aweful day 2. Day 1 I got 11th place. Good Job Deck! Props to: *The STS *My parents for driving my *My deck for being great *Me for getting 20 booster packs for 11th place. *WoTC for having WCSTS in SD!
