                                                8-12 particapants

                                                 This was only my third
tournament @ Borders so I wasn't sure what to expect,but I didn't even
think I would make it to round two since it was single elimination.

Well,heres the deck:
PKMN
3 Dark Flareon
3 Eevee (ND)
2 Scyther (ND)
2 Magmar(F)
2 Tyrouge
1 Oddish (TR)

NRG
8 Fire
7 grass
2 Potion nrg

Trainers
2 Warp Point
3 GOW
2 Narrow gym (i was hoping for more wigglys)
4 ER
3 Plus Power
3 Moo-Moo Milk
2 Berry
1 Switch
3 Bill
2 Gambler 
1 Elm
4 Oak

all right the stragity:dark flareon is the main attacker,but I usualy
start w/ tyrouge or oddish.
Scyther and magmar provide excellent backup. The trainers r fair (but
this is my secondary deck).

Enough about the deck,onto the Battles.

Round 1-Me vs. another Steven w/ strange Psy/Electric deck.
I quickly powered up Dark Flare. And Ko'd his Eevee and Base Gastly(?)by
turn 4.
Then by using gusts and removals I had his Zappy trapped and down.Then he
sent in a Promo Scizor w/ no Metal!I Ko'd it by posining w/ Oddish.  1-0

Round 2- Me vs. Little guy w/Gyarados and weedle(?)
he had 2 weedle and I magmar. (humm...whos gonna win)I played around a
bit and took em' down by turn 5.   2-0

Round 3-Me vs. Trevor w/ RAINDANCE!
This was terrible! I had no drawing power and almost no nrg.
I had to keep sending in dark Flares so he could Ko them. I kept at bay
until turn 7 and then....
I  L-O-S-T, lost. 2-1

well, i didnt win or even make it to the finals but,I guss theres always
next time!

Slopz:Trevor for cheating
