Only 6 People!



This is like my first killer deck report but not that anyone cares. ^^  Today
Sci Fi City was holding a small tourney. Only 6 people were there, but they
let us do it anyway. There was 2 kids that were like 7 years old. The other 3
were 15-16, and I was left. I was using a deck that I had never used before.
Enough talk, here's my deck:

Toxic Whirpool V3.0

Pokemon: 12

X4 Koga's Grimer
X3 Koga's Muk
X2 Ditto
X2 Scyther
X1 Cleffa

Trainers: 33

X4 Oak
X4 Bill
X4 CPU Search
X3 GOW
X3 +Power
X3 NGR
X3 RSA
X3 SER
X3 Koga
X3 Fuchsia City Gym

Energy: 15

X12 Grass
X3 DCE


This deck had been fixed lots of times, and I was confident. I was kinda
worried with not playing any item finder. Blah blah blah..........onto the
tourney.


Round 1: Toxic Whirpool VS Chris with a Haymaker
   Chris was one of the 15 year olds. I was glad. I wanted a challenge. I got
a beautiful opening hand: 1 Scyther, 1 Koga's Grimer, 3 Grass, 1 DCE, 1 Oak.
I played scyther and benched grimer.  He had a hitmonchan active and a
benched buzz. I won the toss, swords danced, and passed. He went and played a
lightning on buzz and passed. I attached the dce to scyther, then Oaked. I
evolved my Koga's Grimer, and CPU Searched for a plus power. I slashed for
the ko, and drew a bill. He promoted electabuzz, attached another lightning,
and punched for 40. I drew another bill. I used both bills, and got 3 grass
energy and a SER. I attached a grass to Koga's Muk and supered. I then
slashed for 30. He went and played NGR, recycling the 2 electric energy and
hitmonchan. He passed with no energy. I oaked, then CPU searched for a
pluspower and slashed for the kill.

1-0

Round: 2 Toxic Whirpool VS Josh with a Pikachu deck......XD
      As you can see, this was the 6 year old. All his pokemon were
pikachus....-.-
I started off with a ditto active and a benched scyther. He started with a
SURFING pikachu and a jungle on his bench. I won the toss and drew a DCE. I
attached it to ditto and surfed for 30. He went and played potion XD. He then
attached a water to his benched pikachu and passed. I drew an oak, and got
this hand: 2 Pluspower, 1 DCE, 1 NGR, 1 RSA, 1 CPU Search. I used RSA and got
rid of his MR. FUGI??!?!?!? I attached the DCE to scyther, attached pluspower
to ditto, and surfed for 40, ko-ing the pikachu. I forgot what my prize was.
-.-   He promoted the jungle one, and attached a psychic to it. (Weird
kid........) I went and drew a grass energy. I retreated ditto, put the grass
on scyther, used pluspower, cpu searched for another plus power, and slash
for the win.

2-0

Round 3: Toxic Whirpool VS Gabriel with a weak raindance
    This was the other 7 year old. He had a pathetic raindance with like 1
Blastoise -.-
This one was quick. He had a base magikarp XD out and I had scyther. I went
first and killed the fish on turn two.

3-0

Semi Finals: Toxic Whirpool VS Adam with Turbo Wiggly
     This guy was weird. REALLY weird. He opened with a jiggly and 5 pokemon
on his bench. I started with a Cleffa active and a benched Koga's Grimer. I
went first, and drew a grass energy. I used RSA on the only card in his hand,
which was an oak! Whew........
I attached a grass to cleffa and eeeked. He went and drew something bad,
because he passed. I used two bills and got 1 Ditto, 1 Koga's Muk, 1 Koga,
and 1 Fuchsia Gym. I attached a grass to koga's grimer and evolved it. Then I
played Fuchsia Gym. I put ditto on my bench and passed. He went and drew a
DCE, attached it to jiggly, and flipped tails. I drew a SER. I attached
another grass to Muk, and eeeked. He went and tried to pound, and it worked.
I went and attached a DCE to Muk, retreated Cleffa for Muk, cpu searched for
a pluspower, attached it to muk, used Koga, and Sludge Whirpooled for the KO.
This went on and he couldn't power up any of his pokemon and I eventully won.

4-0

Finals VS Jacob with a Sneasel Beatdown
    I'm tired, and won't give a play-by-play report, but I will tell you what
happened. At one point I kept poisoning his pokemon and using SER on them.
Then when I koed them, I kept gusting out all the weak pokemon and killing
them. At one point he did ko my Muk with his Sneasel, but I responded with a
fully powered ditto and a full bench. ;) ouch. I one this one, and he had 2
prizes left.

5-0

I won first place and got $25, 10 first edition neo boosters, and a badge
thingy. Here were my rares in the neo packs: Pichu, 2 Sneasel, Steelix,
Lugia, Eco Gym, Murkrow, 3 Cleffa.
