 I had to battle jared i cant spell his last name.
He also was playing feraligatr, this game was very
very close. we were tied in prizes at the end of the
time limit so we went into sudden death in the end it
came down to a coin flip and of course he got heads.=/

when they anounced top 8 I was 3rd but my friend
Brandon burk (RS) didnt get top 8, he lost to PKMNX
because he had 3 totodiles in his prizes otherwise he
would have won and got top 8. =/

They told me i had to battle seena ugh who also was
playing feraligatr. He got gator out before me got a
couple prizes then I got my gator out to KO his gator
and then he KOed me with smeargle =/. For the rest of
the game he got another gator out and double gusted
all my croconaws and totodiles for the win.=\
