  After winning my last torney with my Mewtwo's
  Torture Chamber Deck (in July Killer Decks) I decided to use my Sponge
  deck at the Pokemon league my friend JP usually goes to. Unfortunatly, JP
  was not there, but I knew two of the other people there. This deck plays
  pretty well, but I should probally take out a few energies. My strategy is to
  get MP Mewtwo pumped on turn two. But this deck plays good against Haymaker,
  Damage Swap, and Raindance. I haven't tested it on Wiggly decks, but with all
  this deck's ERs and SERs it should do well against them. Well, now for the
  deck........

  Battle One: Sponge Beatdown vs. Aero/Mew
   
  This girl was playing pretty well with her
  deck, but unluckily for her Sponge beats the heck out of Aero/Mew decks. She
  started with a Jynx, and I started with MP Mewtwo. I couldn't get any NRGs on
  Mewtwo so I let her repeatily use Jynx's double slap, and keep removing her
  NRGs. Mewtwo had 6 damage counters on him, so I scooped him up. I attacked
  with 'Buzz, and killed off the Jynx. Then she sent out a damage-less
  Hitmonchan, and Jabbed me for 40. I retreated 'Buzz, and killed Hitmonchan
  with a MP Mewtwo. She attacked me with Mew for 60, I SERed her Graveler, and
  killed the Mew. Then she sent out a TR Mankey, and killed Mewtwo. I killed the
  TR Mankey with a Scyther with a PlusPower. She sent out the last Pokemon on
  the bench, Graveler, and attacked me for 10. Then I Slashed the Graveler,
  winning the game
   
   
  Battle Two: Sponge Beatdown vs.
  (another) Aero/Mew
   
  This guy was about 8 or 9, but his deck
  looked pretty good. But as I said, this deck flattens Aero/Mew decks. I
  started with MP Mewtwo against a TR Mankey (I don't why TR Mankeys are so
  popular around here. At least 4 people play them!) I went first,
  attached a Psychic NRG to Mewtwo, CPU Searched for Scoop Up
  discarding two Psychic NRGs. Then I Energy Absorbed them back onto Mewtwo.
  The game was pretty quick from then on. I kept removing his energy, and killed
  2 Mew, 2 TR Mankey, and 2 Hitmonchan to win.
   
   
  Battle Three: Sponge Beatdown vs. Robby's
  Undefeated Haymaker
   
  This is one of the people I knew.  We
  had to wait to get a table because they were all full. We got a table, but
  then I lost my deck............(dramatic music) DUNN DUNN DUNN DUNN! After a
  about minute looking, I found it in the corner. Then after about 5 minutes of
  waiting, we finally started playing. And that wait was worth it! He was pretty tough.
  I started with Scyther to Fossil Magmar, and he Smokescreened me for 20. I
  retreated Scyther for Electabuzz, and paralysed him 3 turns in row. I pumped
  up MP Mewtwo on the bench, but he SER off Mewtwo's energies. I
  attached a lightning energy to 'Buzz, and Ko'ed the stupid Magmar. Then he
  Jabbed for 40 on 'Buzz with Hitmonchan. I scooped up 'Buzz, and sent out
  Ditto, attached a DCE to him, ERed Hitmo', and Jabbed. To my surprise, he
  didn't attach any Energy to Hitmonchan. He oaked, put down 2 scythers and
  started to pump them up. I ERed and SERed the Scythers, attached an NGR,
  and PlusPower to Ditto. Special Punched for 50, and drew a prize. He sent out
  Machop with no NRGs, and continued to pump up his Scythers. I killed off the
  little Machop in three turns. Then he sent out a Scyther. I ERed off its
  DCE, and slashed for 30. On my next turn I killed Scyther. Then he sent
  out another Scyther, which did 30 to Ditto. I just retreated Ditto for MP
  Mewtwo. To make a long story short, I Ko'ed 2 more Scythers to win.
   
   
  Battle 4: Sponge Beatdown vs. Mono-Fire
   
  I won the flip, and started with Ditto to
  Snorlax. I attached a DCE to Ditto, and passed. He attached a Fire NRG to
  Magmar (the base set kind) I attached a Lightning NRG to Ditto, gusted
  out Magmar, and Ko'ed it with flamethrower. He sent out Snorlax. I
  attached a DCE to Ditto and Body Slammed Snorlax for 30. Next turn I body
  slammed Snorlax again. He responded with a Super Potion. So I Body Slammed it
  again, and on the next turn I Body Slammed with a PlusPower, knocking out
  Snorlax. Then he sent out a Moltres, witch I killed by flipping heads
  with Dive Bomb. I won again. He said to the person sitting next to him,
  "Do you have any Dittos, cause there awesome!" She responded by
  saying," No, but I wish I had one."
   
   
  Battles 5,6,7,8,9: Sponge Baetdown vs. Bad
  Psy/Lightning Deck
   
  This guy was okay, but he had too many
  families in his deck. I beat him real quick in every game.
   
  Game 1- This was one of the
  fastest games I've ever played. He got out 1 TR Slowpoke which
  I killed on turn two MP Mewtwo.
   
  Game 2- He begged me to play again,
  so I did. He got out a MP Pikachu. I kept ERing it and It didn't get a chance
  to attack because of Electabuzz. Then he attaked with a Rocket Abra, which a
  killed in one turn. Then I faced another TR Slowpoke, and killed it too. I won
  again.
   
  Game 3- He wanted to play best out of
  6, and I agreed because I needed the points to get my Thunder Badge. I killed
  2 Abra with Promo Mewtwo, but then he sent out a Base Gastly. Oh No! :lol: I
  killed the evil creature hated by many Deck Mechanics named Chipmunk for
  years. I Win! Surprise, Surprise!
   
  Game 4- I couldn't get any energys for MP
  Mewtwo. He put Mewtwo to sleep with a Base Haunter :falls onto the floor
  laughing: I shouldn't be laughing because that unholy creauture named Base Set
  Haunter killed Mewtwo! (I am very unlucky with coin flips, once a Jigglypuff
  kept my Hitmonchan asleep for 7 turns! No Lie!) Then my 'Buzz took
  revenge, and killed off the Haunter, and Its whole bench of Basic weaklings.
   
  Game 5- I don't now why I played him
  again, but I beat him up with a MP Mewtwo. I killed 2 TR Slowpokes.
   
  I went 9-0! He HE! :0P Sponge decks
  rule! Right Scott?
