    This was a sealed tournament. I think I did pretty well over all. Check this out!!!
 
    I got there before pretty much everyone else. I hung with my cousin Matt and my friend Tyler before the tournament. Then the tournament started at 11:00 AM. At 11:00 AM, we got our products.
 
I got the Body Guard theme deck, and 2 Legendary Collection Boosters. Here was the deck I built!
 
Pokemon:
3 Abra (LC)
2 Kadabra (LC)
3 Spearow (LC)
1 Fearow (LC)
3 Koffing (BS)
2 Brimer (F)
1 Snorlax (LC)
 
Trainers:
4 Potion (BS)
2 Super Potion (BS)
2 Professor Oak (BS)
1 Pokemon Center (BS)
 
Energy:
8 Psychic
8 Grass
 
Okay. That was my deck. Then we went to Cousin's Subs for lunch. Yum, yum! Anyways, I ate there with my friends Jasmine, Daryl, and Kyle. Afterwords, the battling begun.
 
1st Round vs. Danny Costigan
Well, this battle was pretty simple, but unfortunatly I had to stall with Fearow for a while. I kicked with Kadabra. 1-0 (3 points)
 
Then everyone (but me) swarmed this one kid about some Crystal Charizard.
 
2nd Round vs. Chris Miller
This round, I just can say that I stalled with Spearow, then killed 4 Cyndaquil in a row. 2-0 (6 points)
 
3rd Round vs. Jim Lasner
I got out a quick powered Koffing... I owned. My final KO was with Fearow vs. Poliwag. Another win... 3-0 (9 points)
 
4th Round vs. Tyler Spriggs
Well, this officially was THE HARDEST battle yet. It was though, but my opponent's mistake with Gust of Wind cost him the game. 4-0 (12 points)
 
5th Round vs. Jared Spriggs
This was way tough. Fortunatly, Fearow pulled me through... AGAIN! 5-0 (15 points)
 
6th Round vs. Kyle Gessler
This was tough. I almost lost! 6-0 (18 points)
 
7th Round vs. Cody Krenke
Okay, this match stunk. I had to play my... little brother. I needed one more turn, but I decked out... 6-1 (18 points)
 
Well, no doubt, I made top 8... In the first seed too!
 
Top 8 Match (1) vs. Joseph Miller
This match was one of the easiest all day! Simp! 7-1
 
Top 8 Match (2) vs. Tyler Spriggs
I get to play him again! Yeah... I'm so excited... Well, I won. This was officially the easiest match all day! 8-1
 
Finals vs. Cody Krenke
Oh no! Final match against my brother!?!?! Gotta be kidding me! He got Dewgong too fast... I sucked... 8-2
 
I guess the day wenr fine... The only bad part was losing to my little brother... TWICE! What can you do? Nothing...
