Yo, it’s General Raikou. Yay I did good in another tournament!!!=/ Well anyways I just used the deck I have been playing for like the longest I could remember =/.  After finishing my tough Honors Biology Homework, my mom took mah bro and me to Toys R Us.  So here's the deck:

 

Ty0wnage

-----Pokemon (19)

4 Cyndaquil(works)

2 Quilava(char)

4 Typhlosion(FR)

2 Blaine’s Arcanine

2 Blaine’s Growlithe(stk)

1 Igglybuff(gaze)

3 Cleffa(d7)

1 Magmar(f)

-----Energy (13)

12 Fire Energy

1 Recycle Energy

-----Trainers (28)

4 Computer Search

4 Professor Oak

3 Focus Band 

3 Item Finder

2 Lass

2 Pokemon Breeder

2 Gust of Wind

1 Narrow Gym

1 Sprout Tower

3 Super Energy Removal

1 Switch

2 Nightly Garbage Run

 

Basically the hard to figure out strategy is to get the Typhlosion out asap.  Then start building them up and 0wning like wh0a. =/  Magmar to stall, cleffa for drawing, iggly for tech, and arcy for backup support.

 

There were 31 people when the tournament started.  Umm and I started very hungry.  The last thing I had to drink/eat was a Mountain Dew at Skool. =/

 

Before the tourneh, I got my digital camera back from ebArtemis410(I expect his report to be up soon) for the Pokeyman League Page I do for IRC. =/

 

Round 1 vs. Ryan’s B’s Charizard

I can’t remember much, except it tookawhile for both of us to power up, but I got two typhlosions fully powered up and out.  I 0wned him like wh0a. =/  Though since it took so long time was called and I got a timed win.

Record: 1-0 2 points

 

Round 2 vs. Bob Bonham(sp?)

It was a pretty dang good game.  This guy was playing with a modified deck and was probably playing for FUN.  He didn’t have a translation for his japanese gold berry, but I let it slide, since hes cool.  I ended up getting two or so Typhlosions powered up and went through his Blaine’s rapidash, Rocket’s Meowth and other benched Pokeyman.  Very good player he is.

Record: 2-0 5 points

 

Round 3 vs. Justin…or Jordan, something like that =/

Pretty Quick Game.  I thought I was gonna get FTKOed when I flipped over my lone cleffa, he had sneasel and a jigglypuff.  He went first, attached darkness to sneasel and tried to attack, but failed.  Thank goodness, I drew a Blaine’s growlithe.  I quickly played it and a fire energy to cleffa.  I then eeked, blah blah blah til I got a Blaine’s arcanine going on turn 3 and blasted through his pokemon.  Electabuzz, now Wigglytuff, and Sneasel were all defeated by big bad Back Up Supporter B’s Arcanine.

Record: 3-0 8 points

 

Round 4 vs. Dave Messinger with R Zap/clefable/magby

Very Nice game.  I kept SERing all his pokemon with two energy to stall til I got two typhlosions into play.  Then I had to keep switching to keep them alive.  With the luck of the draw I pulled off an amazing Victory with a little around 1 minute left.

Record: 4-0 11 points

 

La la la in between rounds…I talked to Art bout making him print off my 31337 Raikou card =/

 

Round 5 vs. Jacob Burt

This guy has won every tournament hes been in.  Hes a great player, and possibly even the best in my area.  He had fgeraligatr and of course I was weak.  But whats this? All his croconaw and breeder are in the prizes except one.  I kept SERing the only croconaw.  I had it all down to one prize for the win until he got a feraligatr going and killed my only typhlosion in play.  It was only a matter of time before I got slaughtered.  I did make one major mistake that might’ve not worked if I rolled a tails on fire recharge.  I should’ve powered up the B’s arcy I had on my bench.  With 3 fire in my deck and a chance at recharge, I should’ve knocked out any pokemon of his.  Unfortunately I didn’t and I suffered when I lost another typhlosion.  I decked out, with only 5 or so minutes remaining and 1 prize left >;/ 

Record: 4-1 11points

 

Because of that timed win I lost out on first place of my age group to art.  I got second though.  I had some good fun and got some dci ranking.  Thanks for reading mah report =/.
