    This is a standard Raindance that I made Awhile back Of course the idea
of the deck is to use Blastoise's Pokemon Power to use allot of water
energies at once. I've put in some gym cards now, so I won't be left behind
with every one using gym cards. Actually to be honest I only added two.

Well, this is my deck:

Pokemon:(17)
4 Squirtle (3 base, 1 rocket)
1 Wartortle
3 Blastoise
1 Dark Blastoise
2 Articuno
2 Lapras
2 Seel
2 Dewgong

Trainers:(23)
1 Item Finder
2 Lt. Surge's Treaty
2 Nightly Garbage Run
3 Computer Search
3 Gust of Wind
4 Bill
4 Prof. Oak
4 Pokemon Breeder

Energy:(20)
20 Water Energy

    This morning when I walked in to the Pokemon league they were about to
start a tournament. I quickly signed up! They split us up in two groups.
About half of the kids didn't wan to play. And started playing, it was a
single elimination tournament. Well here are the matches!

Matches!!

Round 1 Vs. A little kid who cheats with Water and grass
This kid started with a fire deck, and then saw my Articuno and said, "Oh
this the wrong deck!" So then he took out a Water/Grass deck. He said I could
keep my hand and prizes so I started with Articuno and a benched Squirtle. He
used Seel and something I can't remember what was benched. But I let him beat
on Articuno while I got out Blastoise and I pumped up a Dewgong. I then
raindanced 2 energies to Articuno and retreated for Dewgong. And blasted 3
Seels and a goldeen. It was a 4-prize match so I won
Record 1-0

Between rounds: I was told who my opponent as and started shuffling my deck.
She held up a Zapdos and said "try to beat this!!!!" Then she said "By the
way I don't use energies in my deck." I told the Gym leader and she said for
me to fight Megan.
 
Round 2 Vs. Megan with Water deck
    This was a LOOOOONNNNNG match. Can't remember much but I started with a
seel and a benched Squirtle. I never got out Blastoise:) got out Dewgong in
late game and got my last two prizes.

Round 3 Vs. a crybaby kid with 3 different decks
    This kid keep changing decks every match. I asked the gym leader if I
could change my deck, she said yes. So I used an Electric deck to win!!!!

The prize: The prize was a 1st ed. Gym booster, 3 Eevee Foil promo's, 3 team
rocket's Mewoth, and some candy!!
