Match #1
I started off with a sneasel and a murkrow, with murkrow as my active. all he
had out was a base magikarp. I went first and attached a dark onto sneasel
and retreated with murkrow to bring out sneasel and fury swiped him for the
KO. ( 1 - 0 )

Match #2
I started off with an Igglybuff as my active and another Igglybuff on my
bench. I went first again and drew a professor elm, I elmed and got out a
scyther with a rainbow energy on him and swords danced, his turn. he had out
a sneasel and a cleffa, he attached a dark onto sneasel and did 20 damage to
me, my turn. I attached a double colorless onto him and slashed for the KO.
He added another cleffa on the bench but i killed both of them to win the
game. ( 2 - 0 )

Match#3
This match is against my very good friend Shawn Bennet who was playing with a
rocket on deck for early training for the sts Quals. He started off with just
a Misty's Poliwag but had the advantage of going first. He attached an energy
and put me to sleep but i flipped heads and woke up. I started with a sneasel
active and igglybuff benched, I attached a dark energy and fury swiped for
only 20 damage. This turn he puts me asleep again but i dont wake up, so i
just pass with nothing good in my hand. He draws - still no basic. He puts me
asleep again but i wake up and fury swipe him for the KO and the game. ( 3 -
0 )

Match#4
I got a buy on this round.

Match#5 ( semi-finals )
This match was against my brother Tyler. He plays a very good raindance deck
( I built it myself ) He started off with a Lapras and a benched squirtle
while I started off with an Igglybuff and a scyther benched with an Igglybuff
active.  I go first and get scyther out and swords dance with a rainbow
energy. He brings attaches an energy and after about 5 minutes of him
searching and elm/oaking for the right cards he waterguns me. I search for a
double colorless and slash him. This turn he breeds into a Blastoise and
attaches only 1 water energy onto Lapras and flips tails with the confuse
ray. This turn I draw a chansey and search for a double colorless to attach
onto chansey and slash for the KO. Prize count 6-5. He brings out Blastoise
and adds 3 energies and does 40 for the KO. Prize count 5-5. I bring out an
Igglybuff and stall for about 3 turns for the right cards. by this time the
prize count is 4-5. I search for a double colorless and oak to draw a gold
berry which i attach to Chansey along with a metal energy and double edge his
Blastoise. He still doesnt have a bench. He just attacks for 50 and passes. I
attack for the KO and the win. ( 5 - 0 )

Match#6 ( finals )
This match was against my friend Shawn again. He starts with a Misty's
Poliwag and a cleffa while I just have a Sneasel. I go first and fury swipes
with a dark for 30. he paralyzes me and I play down a Murkrow and pass. he
puts me asleep but I flip heads to wake up. I draw a Skarmory and attach a
Metal energy on him and fury swipe for the KO. Prize count ( 6-5 ). He puts
out a cleffa and EEEEEks. I lay down another Metal on Skarmory and Steelwing
only to flip Tails. He lays down 3 pokemon on his bench and after about 30
minutes of intense gameplay he forfeits because he didn't have a chance.

If anyone who lives in the state of Michigan and is located around the city
of Westland is welcome to come and play in the tournaments at the Bailey
Center right next to Westland city hall. It costs 3 dollars to get in and
starts at 6 pm every friday night. They have pizza around 7:30 - 8 o'clock
and pop as well. I always have fun and I hope to see you there.
