Okay, time for the tourney report:
 
Round one:
I was playing a kid with some deranged deck with Eevee evolutions.  It was
bizarre.  I got out my Vaporeon after picking off a few Eevees with Kadabra,
and destroyed his bench.  He had all of the wrong energies, for some reason
there were a few Psychic energies on his Eevee...He claimed that there were
some grass Pokemon in his deck, but I didn't see any. 
Games:
1-0
 
Round two:
Some kid with a Charizard/Zapdos deck.  *Sigh*  Didn't see the Charizard for
very long, but the Zapdos took outmy gyrados. Haunter came in with two dream
eaters,came in and killed the Zapdos, and Charizard came out, with no
energies. I had golduck and wiped out his charizard with 3 hyper beams.  He
had a perfectly good Electrabuzz on his bench, with two Electric energies
attached to it though.  Go figure.
2-0
 
Round three:
Oh oh, a kid with a haymaker.  I asked him if he had any Electrabuzz, but he
said he didn't, phew...that could have meant trouble for my Vaporeon. 
Kadabra took out 3 Hitmonchan,   Kadabra goes the distance this time.  Due to
a bad shuffle on my part, i had limited energy   Oh well.
3-0
 
Quarter-Finals:
Some weird little kid with an annoying Snorlax.  Snorlax managed to get
powered up, me with two haunters, , a Mr.Mime on my bench, and a pumped
Gyrados ready to go.  That kid had the luckiest coin flips I had ever seen. 
He must of got at least 10 heads in a row.  Gyrados was paralyzed forever. 
But due to some desperate retreating on my part, i put out a haunter takes
down the Snorlax, very slowly(darn resistance to psyicic).  Then he uses
revive, on Snorlax.  AAAHHHH!!!!  I pick off some Sandshrews and Onixes, but
I didn't get a Gust in my hand.  Snorlax goes active again, but no luck this
time little kid, he flips tails, and i throw gyrados in and wipe the floor
with him .  I finally get the win.
4-0
 
Semi-Finals:
Some kid with a Rain Dance deck that I didn't see much of.  Magikarp vs.
Mr.Mime.  I put a psychic on Mr.Mime, while he Bills, desperately searching
for another basic.  Another psychic on Mime, 10 to Karp.  He puts a water on
Karp, and tackles Mime.  Well, Mime meditates for the win.  Oh well, I
apoligized that I won that way, he was pretty cool about it.
5-0
 
Finals:
Okay, this is it.  This kid is playing Rain Dance.  A very long match.  We
draw our hands, he puts down a Squirtle, I've got a eevee.  He Oaks.  He puts
down a Seel and Magikarp, and Oaks again, then Bills.  I can see where this
is going...he finally attacks me after Oaking twice, and Bill twice also.  I
get, oh yeah, Mr.Mime.  Put down Abra.  No attacks from my side.  He evolves
Squirtle to Wartortle, and another energy to it.  Uses Withdraw, but it
fails.  I Bill, and get, vaporeon.  Energy to eevee,evolve it, and attack
him. 30 damage..  Put down another eevee, and I prepare to stall.  Well, the
crazy little kid Oaks AGAIN!!! evolves Wartortle to Blastoise, and slaps down
5 Water Energies on it.  He didn't see what he had done.  he demolished
blastoise, i throw mr. mime in with invisble wall and wipe the floor with
this kid
6-0
 
Well, I get $25.00 in store credit, and another win for, Psyporeon!!!  I buy
6 basic booster packs, and get Nidoking, and CHARIZARD.  I traded some kid my
Charizard for Mewtwo, Chansey, Blastoise, Venusaur, Clefairy, and Chansey. 
Man, that kid was desperate...
