okay,frank's firestorm deck had given me a hard time.but i had found his weak points.5-3 in 16th turn.i had venusaur and scyther ready to knock out charmander vulpix and growlithe to win.this match i didn't want to said because i didn't draw
any trainers expect poke ball

his dark mind-lighting bench deck was really impressive.my grassgrower,grass pokemon had no trouble vs  his pokemon..raichu give me some problems early on but big egg explosion got him knocked out.15th turn 5-4 me.i got scyther and used swords dance.and then finished haunter for the win.
