90 wins and 20 losses total since it was created in
february of 2001.  It has been my strongest deck and
my best.

    Walking into the tournamnet this deck was sure to
place well and it was a hard power hitter.  The
sneasel clefairy combo was awesome. I knew the
competetion was tough but i held strong and went in.
The tournamnet is always run best 2 out of 3 battles
and run for 4 rounds its just a long day cut it to 3
rounds.  I walked out 4-2 but it was good for 3rd.
Here is my round by round wrapup. Ohh by the way
everyone has a pokemon name in the tournnamnet. 

Round 1 vs Armageddon
This was a good start in the first 3 hands i pulled my
sneasel and clefable quick. He came at me with a
megimum by turn 2 with its wild growth. I came up with
a clefable and in 2 turns killed it. After using
sneasel to clean out 3 more prizes it was taking out
with a venasaur and clefable 2 came up to finsih the
job with metronome. He dident see that i had one prize
left till i used meronome to win it. 

Battle 2: He came at me with a kanaskhan pair and i
had my clefairy out with sneasel benched.  I quickly
got clefaible out to cream kangaskan and he eventually
got bulbasaur up with the breeder quikly to follow
into venasaur. he had to energy trans alot with my
clefairy taking kangaskan down. After benching
hitmonchan and letting it get pumped i won knocking
down venasaur with hitmonchan after my clefairy
weakened it.
Record: 2-0

Round 2 vs Josh:
I was going in against the classic hitmonchan
electabuzz syther haymaker.  It was a sick attack on
his part. I brought out clefairy and it was killed.
Hitmonchan come out next. Plus powers killed it in 2
turns. I had my elekids walk out.  They were wiped out
with josh's heads flipping.  I lost a brutal one
getting one prize and suffering heavy losses. 

Match 2:  This time i come out with a hitmonchan
clefairy sneasel line up. He takes down hitmonchan
after a short while and my sneasel took charge. he had
a electabuszz ready for him and seadel went down to
the bench with no energy and 40 damage.  Clefaible was
stuck with no energy. I pulled 6 turns and no energy
quickly led to again my elekid being all that was left
to die before he took the win.
Record: 2-2

Round 3 vs unknown trainer
Match 1: I walked in with my clefairy and he had a
chansey. The match started with me in a jamm getting
my machop and using professor elm for nothing but
energy. He got his scriunch off quick and i pulled a
pokemon trainer to get sneasel which broke even for me
and gave chasey a schock.  The match went on with
mewtwo for him charmander for me. My hitmonchan got
chansey knocked out but mewtwo blasted hitmonchan dead
with phy burn. As he wore his deck then i was getting
slaughetred.   With one prize for him left and me with
two left i Threw caution in the wind knowing he has a
wobuffert chansey and mewtwo benched and i had a
sneasel elekid and clefaible benched.  I meronomed his
fully powered chansey and the scrunch failed so he won
it with double edge next turn.

Match 2: 2 minutes.  I got sneasel,he got abra,One
dark energy, I won with fury swipes in turn one. 

Match 3: At the beginning since Mike said this will be
the last bettle the trainer asked me if we can go with
the winner settling 2-0.  i said yes and we went at
it. This time it was snesel vs chansey. The battle
edged on as i got hitmonchan and clefairy in the next
2 turns and he got mewtwo and chansey #2.  The batlle
raged on with him taking out sneasel and me taking out
chansey to even the prizes.  The ending came late when
he kept oaking and computer searching.   He knew he
had a low deck but he went on and it all ended with
him pulling out a double edge hoping my elekid would
die. It dident the die was tails and i won after he
pulled his last card out and coudlent kill me and win
because he had 3 prizes left. 
Record: 4-2

My deck ended 4-2 and claimed 3rd place for the 2nd
time. The only problem was mike being the guy he is
only had 1st and 2nd place prizes and dident let it go
4 rounds because of a magic tourney walking in at
4:30.  I did what i could on the day and held up the
FireFighters motto
"No Surrender!"

Thats it. Thanks for checking this out.  Even though
the basic energy is low in the deck it still kicks
butt in the battle field.
