Blue Mage #69

Toys R Us in Raleigh, NC

At least like 40 or somethin' participants.
 
Sup, ebArt here, being that I didn't get off my butt and write a tournament report for the Roanoke Qualifier, I figured I should write one for this tournament.  Taking what I learned from the Roanoke experience, I modified my Feraligatr deck a bit to perform at top notch.
 
Blue Mage #69
Pokemon (19)
4 Totodile (Neo Genesis, 50 HP)
3 Croconaw (Neo Genesis, 80 HP)
3 Feraligatr (Neo Genesis, 120 HP)
3 Cleffa (Neo Genesis)
1 Elekid (Neo Genesis)
1 Giovanni's Nidoran F (Gym Challenge)
1 Igglybuff (Neo Discovery)
1 Magby (Neo Genesis)
1 Pichu (Neo Genesis)
1 Wooper (Neo Genesis)
 
Energy (17)
17 Water Energy
 
Trainers (24)
4 Professor Elm (Neo Genesis)
4 Misty's Wrath (Gym Heroes)
3 Trash Exchange (Gym Heroes)
3 Misty's Tears (Gym Challenge)
3 Focus Band (Neo Genesis)
2 Double Gust (Neo Genesis)
2 Nightly Garbage Run (Team Rocket)
2 The Rocket's Training Gym (Gym Heroes)
1 Celadon City Gym (Gym Heroes)
 
Everyone knows the strategy of Feraligatr: get him out early, and use your Trainers to put Water Energy in the discard pile. 
 
Oh yeah, the deck name is a combo of some FF stuff, AND Feraligatr's Level Number, honest (COUGH)
 
Round 1 vs. Stephanie (W Feraligatr)
She kept trying to get me to smile during the match =\ Um, anyway, I got going really early and she didn't really recover, win for me.
Record 1-0
 
Round 2 vs.Uhhh, someone (W Feraligatr)
Um, I know this guy from AIM some where, I can't even remember his SN =\  I got going fast again, and he conceded once he was down to a Magby.
Record 2-0
 
Round 3 vs. Stephan (G Mono)
I knew this would be a test.  I beat up his Chikoritas with a Magby (oooo ya!) and had to get through a Rocket's Scyther.  My Feraligatr got a lucky flip through Shadow Images and I won.  Yay.
Record 3-0
 
Round 4 vs. Michael B. (G Slowking/Steelix/Umby)
His mom told him I would probably be as tough as they would come at the Raleigh Qualifier the next day.  Bad things started to happen when he failed an Elm with Chaos Gym, which got me a new hand which I needed desperately.  Then he Eeeeked without flipping for the baby rule and getting me a prize.  I rolled through him the rest of the way.  He was kinda pissedz0rz, but it would help him no doubt.
Record 4-0
 
Round 5 vs. Brianna (R Fires)
Boy, did I get a crummy start.  I got some bad rolls on Fury Swipes and she got a Quilava out, and rolling through my babies and I was drawing just to put something on my bench.  Typhlosion came out and I got pwned.  I check her deck afterwards, 60 cards.  Oh well -_-
Record 4-1
 
Placing 2nd ain't bad at all, but I was hoping to go 4-1 to really boost my rating.
