Registration was at 10:00 through 11 a.m. and my dad didn't get up till 9. I got there with 15 minutes to spare so i rifled through the registration process. My friends from the Eagle pokeleague were all there. That included Tim, Andrew, Rick, Linda, and Alaria (tim's daughter). I said hello to everyone and checked what everyone was playing. I was in the 11-14 division, so I wouldn't be playing any one of them. Tim was playing a Zapdos ex deck, Rick was playing a Gardy/ Pidgeot deck, Linda was playing a Dark Electrode deck, Andrew was playing a rainbow Flygon deck, and Tim had built Alaria a Quagsire/Gardy deck. After that it was time for round eins (one in German). Round 1: Vs. Kailee W. w/sceptile Deck Man, my starting hand was lousy. I started with Larvitar and no bench. She started with Scyther ex and no bench. Short story from here. Turn 3 she ohkos me with slash 0-1 Round 2: don't remember name w/dark tyranitar deck This, unbeleivably, was the only match I won the whole of the Tournament. He started with mareep, no bench I started with larvitar and claw fossil on bench. He went first. he put down larvitar and attached nrg to larvitar. I attached nrg to larvitar and attacked for 20. He put down dunsparce and switched to it. he attached nrg and striked and ran, putting 3 larvitars on bench and switched to mareep, I have no clue why he did that. I drew a dark tyranitar, yes!!!, I attached Dark nrg to larvitar and candied to ttar. I grinded for knockout. He whent downhill from there, but he did manage to get out Dark Ampharoas way to late in the game. 1-1 Round 3: I think one of the Wattsons w/Charizard ex deck, I think I stumbled with no bench and a root fossil active. Turn 2 he OHKOd it for game with, I think a lucky flip for raticate Fr+LG 1-2 Lunch: I ate two cheeseburgers and played Andrew with my Wigglevee, Gardy, and ttar deck. all three were loses. I baught 9 packs of Trr for $15 and got a Rocket's Entei ex. All the other cards were doubles :( Round 4: Dude w/magnacatty deck I stunck this game too. He started with skitty, I started with larvitar. I managed to do 20 dmg to skitty, but he wupped me with magneton. 1-3 Round 5: Dude w/ttar deck (man, Is it me, or are there a lot of ttar decks here. There were about 5 in all) I started with claw fossil, no bench. He started with larvitar, larvitar on bench. He layed waste with dig drain. 1-4 Post-Game: Man, I was disapointed. I left with one more trr pack of doubles. The good news was that Alaria had won the whole thing, She was/is only seven and she beat all the other divisions too. Good job Alaria. While I was waiting for my dad and Alaria was opening her boosters, I played against Tim with my Wigglevee deck and stalled the house to the ground. Good game Tim. Props: Allaria did a good job, I got R's Entei ex Slops: My deck/luck See ya next time pojo goers. Sincerly, Mageknight Ian Hornak, mageknight730@earthlink.net
