  Round 1 vs. Ritchie(non-Raindance mono water)
  I am teaching this guy to be a better player. I
  felt sorry for him, because he had to play me in the first round.
  He hides behind a Chansey which I tear
  down with a buzz. All he has are Squirtles, Poliwhirls and
  wags, and an Articuno. I quickly won this.
  1-0
  Round 2 vs. Gabriel(lgt. psy, didnt really get to
  see it)
   He starts off with a buzz? and a fossil
  zapdos on his bench. I gust his zapdos and murder it with magmar. He was
  putting energy on it too?! He did the same with dragonair(putting energy on
  it, but he didn't have a chance to attack with it). he retreated pokemon
  to stall but gusts and magmar's poison abiltiy.
  2-0
  Round 3
  I get a bye in the semi's.
  2-0
  Round 4(semi's versus Jay playing a haymaker)
  Ok i didnt want to play Jay and he didnt want to
  play me. We decided to go best of 3. I shouldn't have opened my mouth:)
  Buzz vs. buzz early. His magmars prevent me
  from using scyther most of the time. I battle hard with electabuzz, magmar,
  and tauros. Man tauros was kicking butt! We did the weakness dance a few
  times and i eventually won.
  Game 2
  This sucked. Bad hand, bad draws. Jay used an oak
  and 3 bills in one turn. I tried to deck him and almost did but magmar
  didnt last long enough
  Game 3(the decider!)
  Much different from before.  Got tauros out
  early and he was stompin like crazy! It came down to and electabuzz with 10 on
  it vs. my tauros with 20 on it. He had no bench. I draw a computer search!!! i
  get a pluspower and rampage for the win!
  Finals(sean w/ psy elec.)
  By now we were all tired. Sean automatically was
  in the finals because hes a gym leader. He knows i can beat him and i have in
  the past. He forfetted and i won.
  I got 2 promo pikas, a prerelease aerodactyl, 150
  points, and a milky way. They ddidnt have any boosters left:(
  PROPS:
  To Tauros for saving my butt in the semi's
  To Books-a-million for the great tourney
  To Jay for a great match
  To Sean for not playing me.
  SLOPS
  To Carlton for losing in the quarter finals?
  theres always next week!
  To Sean for not playing me(it was good and bad)
  That's it, til next time....
