Misty`s Poliwag. He plays Misty`s Tentacool. I get first turn draw Shellder
and bench it. Then I pass. His turn, plays Water energy on Misty`s Tentacool
and passes. I draw Kakuna and pass. He draws and passes. My turn, I draw
Caterpie, bench it and pass. He draws, places Water on Misty`s Tentacool and
plays Misty. Then he uses Crystal Beam and KO`s Shellder. I send Misty`s
Poliwag. I draw Metapod and pass. This kept going on until I had no benches
and no energy. I LOST!!!!

0-1

Battle 2- Me vs. newbie with a Lightning/Grass deck.

Starting hand: Pokemon Trader, Super Energy Retrieval, Grass energy, Weedle,
Potion, Narrow Gym and Gust Of Wind. I play Weedle(Do I have an alternative
choice?) and he plays Bulbasaur. He gets first turn and benches a Jungle
Pikachu. Then he attatches Grass energy to Bulba and passes. My turn, I draw
Grass energy and attatch it to Weedle. Then I use Poison Sting with no
poison. DARN!! His turn, he draws and Attatches Grass to bulbasaur. He uses
Leech Seed. My turn, I draw Challenge! and use it. He accepts. He gets
Scyther, Base Koffing, TR Oddish and TR Zubat. I get 2 Misty`s Poliwags,
Weedle, Caterpie and Shellder. Then I use Potion on Weedle and Poison Sting
with poison. YES!!! His turn, he draws and attatches energy to Scyther. then
he uses a Full Heal on Bulbasaur. Then He does leech seed and hurts weedle.
The battle pretty much went on like this until he decked himself by using too
many Bills.
