and a magmar and took out his scyther in one shot with fire punch. he sent out
a Muk so i countered with Gyarados and SER and got him. The tourny began
Stephen was in G1 i was in G2 a friend of ours Grahm was is G2 with me. there
were 3 rounds and the finals

Round 1

is a really good trainer and needed a kingler i put my kingler up against his
Hypno(he had 5)4 in his deck.
I started off with Charmander 2 fires,squirtle,1 water,1 bill and
magmar(good)i lay Charmander as my basic and put magmar and Squrtle on my
bench. he had out Drowzee, Abra and a Hitmonchan. I layed on Charmander and
used scratch.30 left. he pounded me. I billed got charmeilon and a fire. put
fir eon charmander and emebered for a KO on drowzee. he sent up Abra while
powerng up Hitmonchan.I emebered again. 10 left.i pick lay DCE on charmander
evolve into charmelion and slash for the KO. he brings up a powered up
hitmonchan with 2 energys on him. i pick up. To my surprise i pick up
Charizard. with 4 eenrgys already down plus energy burn he's out. I lay down
charizard he freaks out because of energy burn. i lay another energy on him
and firre spin his hitmonchan out of the building. I win a non-holo Hypno.
Game 1- 1-0

Round 2
Me vs Spencer(Nidoking/Electabuzz/Magneton/Poliwrath deck.)
I got a sweet hand. Magikarp,Gyarados,4 water and bill. I go first and lay
Karp down with a energy. i Bill and pick up Magamr and Scyther(my 2 personal
favs) he lays down to my surprise ??Geodude?? i was shocked then on the bench
he had Nidoran male, electabuzz and Poliwag. i started off using tackle on his
geodude. he used stone attack. did 20.i layed water on magikarp. picked up and
used bill. i picked up bulbasaur and a plant. i powered up scyther. I tackled
again and it was his turn he used stone barrage but got tails right away. I
layed a 3rd energy on Magikarp for flail. I killed GeoDude. He sent Electabuzz
oiut with no energys. I picked up a bill and got the best possible thing I
could get. Bill and Computer Search. I billed and got out another Magmar and
Plus Power. I comp searched for Gyarados. Found him. Layed him on Magikarp.
Put and energy under him added a plus power and took out electabuzz. All he
had was poliwag and nidoran male with 3 plant under him. To my knowledge and
disbelief he got out breeder and drooped his nidoking down. Gyarados dragon
rage did damage I think Nidoking had 40 left. He used Toxic. That's 40 down. I
prof oaked. And got breeder 2 Dce charizard,charmander,bulbasaur and Ivysaur.
I layed charmander down. Stuck breeder on him and used an attack but nidoking
had 30 left. I retreated Gyarados. Put a DCE under charizard(2 fire) plus him
already having one under was 1 energy away from victory. He got out energy
removal and energy removed my charizard and toxiced. I layed another DCE on
him. Fire blasted him out of the building and into the 3rd round.

Round 3
Me vs A nobody who made it this far with cheating
This match did not go very well for this kid. First pick up is Scyther 1 DCE,1
plant,2 bills,comp search and a prof oak. I went first. I billed twice and
layed a Dce under scyther. Doing that I used prof oak and got 2 Magmarrs,3
fire, 1 leaf and a SER. Scyther was 1 energy away from slashing up his
Magikarp. He couldn't do anything. I put a leaf under scyther and swords
danced. He still couldn't do anything except fill his bench. I slashed up
magikarp. He brang out poliwag. He water gunned for 10. A slashed his poliwag
to ieces. He had evolved his Eevee into Vaporeon. I swords danced. Next turn
the match was over.

Finals
Me vs Stephen(all out Grass deck)
I started with the worst hand. Squirtle,Wartortle,3 water and plus power. He
sent down Grimer and Chansey(oh boy). I sent out Squrtile since I got to go
first again. I picked up and got my fav card Bill. I got out Blastoise
;luckily and a Magmar. I alyed magamr on the bench and suited up Squirtle up
for battle. I bubbled next turn parylizing. I picked up got comp search. Since
I had blastoise in my hand. I comp searched for Breeder. I got him. I rain
dnaced. For a great water ride. Hydro Pump on chansey with a plus power ended
up doing 80. I then attcked Chansey again for dead. My prize another Magmar.
He brouight up scyther. I dropped the Pump on him 10 left. While he evolved
into Muk on the bench. Next turn Muk was up but I had enough energys to kill
him. 2 turns Blastoise gets killed. Due to mega amounts of defenders and plus
powers. Next I sent up Magmar with 2 under him. And Muk having 60 left. I fire
punched. 1 more fire punch and I win. Luckily he ddin't poison me but go rid
of an energy so I brought back another one and fire punched for the victory.

I won 1st place and got 4 packs of 1st edition Fossil plus in the pokemon
league I moved to round 2
In those packs I got great stars but 1. Somebody seems to be jinxing me I got
4 Dragonites now. 2 1st ed holo. 1 holo 1 1st ed non-holo. But in the other 3
packs I got a non-holo Kabutops,Holo hitmonlee and a a holo-new Magneton. So I
traded Hitmonlee and Magneton to the store for another Blastoise. Well pojo
