My name is Lord of the Dead Sea. I participated in the Pokemon League held at Books-A-Million on Broad Street in Richmond,Virginia.The event was held on Saturday May 6th.About 100 people participated. I call my deck Turbo Rain Dance,although it doesn't really have enough Blastoise to warrant a Rain Dance,but who cares?Anyway here's the deck:

28 Water Energy

3 Magikarp(2 Base Set,1 Team Rocket)

1 Gyarados

1 Dark Gyarados

1 Lapras(Southern Islands)(the place allows Japanese cards not printed in English)(See translations at bottom of report)

2 Seel

1 Dewgong

3 Squirtle(Base set)

2 Wartortle(Base Set)

1 Blastoise(Base Set)

2 Horsea

1 Seadra

2 Eevee(Jungle)

1 Vaporeon(Jungle)

1 Articuno(Fossil)

1 Pokemon Breeder

3 Energy Search

2 Poke' Ball

2 Bill

1 Gust of Wind

1 Prof. Oak

   This deck won me 2 out of 3 games that I played.The 1st Round I played against someone named Alan.His mono-psychic deck put up an Ok fight,but did pretty bad.He threw 4 Base Set Mewtwo & 4 Jungle Mr.Mime on me,with the help of the Abra family.Iused my Articuno's Freeze Dry to take away 1/2 of its HP,but a Psychic attack that he did ahead of time brought 30 damage to me.My Articuno easily disposed of that Mewtwo,while he evolved his Kadabra into Alakazam.I used Articuno's Blizzard but hurt the Vaporeon I had on my Bench.He then used a Poke'mon Center & began to power up Alakazam while he Benched a Mr.Mime.I threw out a Blizzard & a Freeze Dry to beat Alakazam(after he used Devolution Spray to turn it back to Kadabra) & take my 2nd prize.When he sent out an uncharged Mr. Mime with an active invisible wall power,I had no choice but to retreat & send out a Seel(charged) that was on my Bench.After four Headbutt Attacks,Mr. Mime remained uncharged & sunk to defeat.With another Base Set Mewtwo,I retreated Seel & sent Articuno back out to easily defeat it.Articuno's Blizzard also hurt his other Mr. Mime with 10 damage.When he sent out Mr. Mime,I used a Freeze Dry to finish it.He then sent out yet another Base Set Mewtwo,and with three Barrier attacks used by it,I was getting red hot.Once he ran out of Energies to use Barrier,I brought him to 10HP using Blizzard.Next turn ,I used my G.O.W. to force his Team Rocket Slowpoke that he had on his Bench into action before he could evolve to Dark Slowbro & used Blizzard to destroy it.In the end,I won my last prize against Mewtwo witha Blizzard.

                The 2nd round I played against my brother & his Electric/Psychic/Grass Deck.I had an Eevee out that I immediately evolved to Vaporeon on turn 2,which easily made dispose of his Venonat,Aerodactyl,Muk,& Rattata.It nearly defeated his Raticate,but he realized that with no Energies left to use in his hand,there was no way he could win & forfeited the match,making me the winner.

                 The 3rd & final round was up against Kyle & his Fighting/Psychic deck.I must say this was a total disaster.I had an Eevee out that his Machoke beat with a Karate Chop. All I had left was a Seel,that was easily beaten by Machoke's Submission.I plan on making some massive improvements to this deck.
