<DIV>3x Sabrina’s Gaze</DIV>
<DIV>2x Focus Band</DIV>
<DIV>1x Gold Berry (I only had one)</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>It was going to be 7 rounds of swiss then the top 8 elimination</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Round 1: VS. Cocky Kid with Feraligatr.</DIV>
<DIV>First Turn I had a Cleffa active and a benched Cyndaquil to his Active 
cleffa and benched Totodile, He attatched a water to Totodile, retreated and 
attempted to Fury swipes and failed. My turn I attatched a fire to cleffa and 
eeeeeked. Next turn energy to cyndaquil and eeeeked. Next turn I evolved to the 
Char quilava and attatched a fire and retreated and smokescreened, (that whole 
time fury swipes failed)</DIV>
<DIV>He then evolved to quilava and attempted to tackle and failed</DIV>
<DIV>I then attatched a fire and charred and flipped heads for the counter. Next 
turn he took 20 from char and I killed it next turn</DIV>
<DIV>I then evolved to Typhlosion (Fire Recharge, and I attached an energy and 
killed his totodile, (It was pretty much like that the whole game until he had 
wrathed until he had 8 cards left. He then wrathed again and evolved another 
totodile to croconaw with no energys and passed. I then double gusted and asked 
if that was game, turns out it was game too.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Record 1-0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 Points</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Round 2 vs. some kid with a bad promo hitmontop deck.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>I don’t remember how this went but he spilled pop on my cards and wrecked 
one of my typhlosions, I ended up losing because my sleeves were messed up and I 
couldn’t shuffle, I talked to the judge after the match and she declared it a 
draw and told him he had to buy me new sleeves and a new typhlosion.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>1-0-1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4 
Points</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Round 3, Versus Feraligatr</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>The kid complained because one of my cleffas was Japanese so I had to find 
another cleffa because of the Japanese back.</DIV>
<DIV>But hey it’s a good feraligatr deck so I lost anyway.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>1-1-1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
4 Points</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Round 4, versus Sabrina’s Alakazam, S.I. Mew and MP Mewtwo</DIV>
<DIV>I lost this because I was busy with refilling my deck with good sleeves I 
bought.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>1-2-1.<X-TAB>&nbsp;&nbsp;</X-TAB>4 Points………..</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Round 5 versus Rocket’s Zapdos and something else.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>I wasn’t messin around this game if I even wanted to make top 16 I would’ve 
had to start playin hard.&nbsp; I won this easy because I was actually 
determined.</DIV>
<DIV>He started with like 3 Rocket’s Zapdos and I ko’d em all wit 
typhlosion.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>2-2-1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7 points</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Round 6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; versus another Sabrina deck</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Why can’t people understand that these decks look good for combos but 
they’re so bad.</DIV>
<DIV>Another win</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>3-2-1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10 points</DIV><BR>
<DIV>Round 7&nbsp;&nbsp; versus ………….Feraligatr</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>He got out feraligatr third turn and ko’d everything easy</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>3-3-1</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Well I ended up coming in 38th out of like 78-79 or something.</DIV>
<DIV>I won nothing.&nbsp; But hey it was my first big big tournament, and 
I&nbsp; just got back into pokemon in August.</DIV>&nbsp;
