This Deck was played at Gencon, Milwaukee. There were about 35 people in
my age group.

Well I arrived at gencon and set out to prepare for the Tournament later
in the day. No i did not play Tyler since i am a week away from being in
the age group he played in. Anyways, After Shielding my foils and the
rest of my deck, i made final adjustments and went to play. After a long
line and a half hour of sitting there doing nothing but tinkering with my
deck, we sat down to play:

2 Double Colorless
10 fighting
11 Water

2 Poliwhirl
1 Poliwrath
1 Chansey
3 Eevee
2 Vaporeon

The tourney was a 6 game tourney, were we played six games and the best
record won.

Round 1: 

I was playing against some sort of Electric Psy deck and got nervous. It
was all for naught of course.... My pokemon i started out with was
Rhyhorn, i had a Double colorless and 1 fighting and 2 water energy in my
hand, on the bench i put a Chansey and Machop. Well he had an ALL
electric bench to start out. My rhyhorn wasnt even TOUCHED by his
onsluaght of electricity and eventually the horn attack knocked out all
his basics, nothing to replace them so i won.

Round 2:

I was pretty worried, i was playing some kid with a Grass/psy deck. My
deck is not good against those colors, so i got ner vous. My starting
pokemon was a machop and his was an abra, i had a full bench he didnt. I
low kicked first turn and his only chance of surviving was to paralyze
me... The coin flipped... rolled around...and landed. TAILS. Low kick, no
basics left, game over. I win.

Round 3:

I played a colorless/Electric deck. His colorless mostly resisted
fighting, but after a few turns i managed to pull a hitmonchan and
Poliwrath. I used Hitmonchan to waste his electricity, then poliwrath
took care of the fighting resistant pokemon. Game ended pretty fast.
Outcome: WIN

Round 4:

I Played a kid named jeff, and it was a close match. He played
Water/colorless/psy so no real advantages for him or I. It was down to 1
prize each after i got a poliwrath up against a Mr.Mime, it was a
standoff. I removed energy with whirlpool, but couldnt hurt the mime.
Eventually, my Poliwrath was stripped down by energy removals and he
brought out a chansey to finish me off. Outcome: LOSS

Round 5:

Played a STRAIGHT electric deck. It was my friend, but that didnt stop me
from mercilessly slaughtering all the electabuzz and Pikachu he could
manage to get out with Hitmonchans Special punch. It was Over pretty
Quick. OUtcome: WIN

Round 6:

This was another advantage for me, i played a girl named Ashley, who used
Fire/electric meaning my water can waste the fire and my fighting could
waste the electric pokemon. It was over pretty fast since i got in my
draw a bill an oak a hitmonchan and chansey and Seel W/dewgong

Well i had a record of 5-1, and tied for first. I only got 2 jungle packs
since the other person with 5-1 played the more advanced league for more
than one game.
