Subject: Hippity Hop (Twisted Challenge #2)

Today, an unusual vacancy is evident in Bondi's Bunker. The heavy titanium door that usually swings open easily is now firmly locked, with a sign with large block letters posted on it. At the foot of the door, a tape recorder sits inside of a cardboard box.

"AWAY FOR THE WEEK. CHECK THE RECORDING BELOW FOR MORE INFO. BE KIND, REWIND. ~BONDI"

Upon hitting the green button on the tape recorder and adjusting the volume to a good level, the faint crackle of background static fills the air. Bondi's voice is soon heard, reading a deck letter aloud...

Hey man, do you think you can try to fix this up? This is the Jumpluff deck I built, I used yours as an outline, and it's been doing great since...

(~~~Hippity Hop~~~)

[3]- Hoppip-Neo Genesis
[2]- Skiploom-Neo Genesis
[3]- Jumpluff- 2 AQ-1 Neo Revelations
[3]- Cleffa
[2]- Tyrogue
[1]- Wooper-Neo Genesis
[1]- Murkrow-Neo Genesis

[4]- Computer Search
[4]- Item Finder
[3]- Professor Oak
[3]- Lass
[3]- Rocket Sneak Attack
[3]- Pokemon Nurse
[3]- Double Gust
[3]- Super Energy Removal
[2]- Energy Removal
[2]- Pokemon Breeder
[2]- Focus Band
[1]- Sprout Tower
[1]- Town Volunteers

[7]- Grass Energy
[4]- Rainbow Energy
[2]- Recycle Energy

You should know that strategy behind this deck...Get a Rainbow on AQ Jumpluff so he can use his Pokebody, then put a Focus Band on it, and use Pokemon Nurse when nessecary. Neo 3 Jumpluff is good backup and can help evolve my bench. And then just SER and ER my opponent like crazy, while disrupting there hand with Lass/Eeeeeeeks and RSAs. Thanks

BondiBorg: Hey everybody, Bondi here, with a close friend of mine, a former Deck Mech herself...
TRCassidy: Hi everybody!
BondiBorg: It looks like today's deck is a Jumpluff deck, based off of my own. That's good...I love Jumpluff. ^_^
TRCassidy: I love...soda ;\
BondiBorg: Don't make me perform another intervention.
BondiBorg: Anyway, as I was saying, the deck looks really solid. Any comments on the Pokémon lineup, Cass?
TRCassidy: It seems pretty cool, but I don't think we need the Wooper.
BondiBorg: Hmm...I agree, Wooper probably isn't the best solution, but it's definitely annoying to go up against a Fire deck if you're playing all Grass.
BondiBorg: How about Mantine from Neo4?
TRCassidy: I was just about to suggest that. ^_^
BondiBorg: Two Rainbows, which are already in there, would put a hurting on any Fire Pokémon that rears its ugly head. x_X
TRCassidy: Exactly, especially since it'll only be used pretty much to KO their main hitter. Generally, it's hard to recover from such a blow.
TRCassidy: As for Trainers, I've always preferred Pokémon Center to Pokémon Nurse
BondiBorg: Well, remember that Jumpluff's Power, Fluff, only works if the Jumpluff has a damage counter on it. It would hurt to lose all of the Rainbow and all of the damage at the same time.
BondiBorg: Either way, though, I think we can lose one of those, and a Double Gust.
TRCassidy: I'm not sure, I really like Double Gust, and the free Retreat of just about everything gives you a great advantage, as you may disrupt their bench and escape Special Conditions yourself.
BondiBorg: True, but with four Item Finders, recycling one shouldn't be a problem.
TRCassidy: I still don't like having only 2 Double Gusts in a deck. Item Finders may be needed later in the game to revive other useful cards.
BondiBorg: You're right, especially if you end up using one of the Double Gusts to cure a Special Condition.
TRCassidy: Bingo.
BondiBorg: The extra Nurse could go for another Sprout Tower, I believe. Clefable, Wigglytuff, and Chansey are tough opponents.
TRCassidy: Yes, and getting rid of nasty Chaos Gyms is always nice. =p
BondiBorg: Of course!
BondiBorg: For any readers that aren't familiar with my loathing of Chaos Gym, let's just leave it at the fact that I've been known to set them aflame.
TRCassidy: Actually, that one time it never did catch fire, it just got singed. =p
BondiBorg: No, I went back and burned it completely when I got a chance.
TRCassidy: Good times.
BondiBorg: Definitely.
TRCassidy: Back on topic, I suppose a Pichu would work too for the occasional Slowking deck, and as a last resort to put damage on a Jumpluff after using a Pokémon Nurse.
BondiBorg: Pichu is usually best in a swarm of two or three, how about Brock's Mankey to Taunt up Slowkings instead?
TRCassidy: That'd work.
BondiBorg: The Energy looks fine from over here, what do you think?
TRCassidy: I think it looks pretty cool, nothing I'd change. ^_^
BondiBorg: Well, I guess that does it for the deck, then.
TRCassidy: Man, this sure does bring back the memories...
BondiBorg: Drop by again anytime you'd like to help me out, it's always appreciated.
BondiBorg: Before we wrap up, let's give everybody the second Twisted Challenge.
