Round 1 vs. Nathan the cheater with Scizor/Steelix/Slowking Deck

I start with electabuzz active and R. Zapdos on bench.  After

trapping him down to 1 card, I Oak and thundershock his Scyther.

After trapping him my next two turns, I already have 2 prizes.

He finally gets a Slowking up, but my Pichu becomes active

against his Scizor.  Pichu kills Slowking over the next 4 turns.

I then return to trapping and Electroburning for the win.

1-0

Round 2 vs. Isaac with Char deck

Game starts like round 1 for me, but he has Cyndaquil active

and no bench.  A successful trap and an Oak sets me up for the

kill.  A Chaos Gym hurts his recovery while Cyndaquil dies.

2-0

Round 3 vs. Renee with Steelix/Raindance deck

I start with Electabuzz active and Scyther on bench.  Another

lucky coin flip and I go first.  I play trap, and thunderschock

her Onix.  She had no fighting energy in her deck!She eventually got

Articuno powered up on the bench while Electabuzz killed Onix.

I get R. Zapdos ready, trap once more and kill Articuno for the win.

Her bench was empty.

3-0

Round 4 vs. Addison with R. Zapdos/E. Dratini deck

I start with Electabuzz active and Pichu on bench.

He starts with R. Zapdos active and Unown D, E. Dratini,

and Chansey on bench.  After trapping, I pound with

Buzz killing R. Zapdos before it kills Buzz.  Pichu

becomes active against another R. Zapdos with gold berry! 

I kill 2 E. Dratini and 1 Unown on his bench before he kills

Pichu.  Man I have 4 prizes to his 2.  Time for another

trap and Buzz.  He gets another R. Zapdos out and NGR's

one back into his deck while Buzz dies.  I trap one more

time, but a third R. Zapdos with gold Berry takes out

my R. Zapdos and he eventually wins.  An item finder

would have saved me!

4-1

I got a Fossil booster pack for third place with Aerodactyl

in it.  Addison got 2 base booster packs (one had Blastoise).

The first place winner (who beat Addison in finals) got

4 booster packs.

Props/Slops

Props to the power of a trapper.

Slops to that item finder I needed!
