    Round1 agianst matt he had everything deck- The kid i was playing had a very sloppy and look like he had just trown it together but he put up a nice fight. My first hand was pretty good i got a ditto somme energies a s.p and charmander. He had first move he had down a geodude and i put down a charmander. He put down a energy but didnt have enough to go so then i put down one and did scratch. He put down another energy and did stone barrage but got tails the first time so nothing happen then my turn agian. I drew a charizard put down another energy on charmander and did scratch agian. HE tried stone barrage agian but failed to hurt me and i put down one more energy for ember and a KO. His next pokemon was kangaskhan. On my next turn i drew a warturtle and now io had suirtle and warturtle on my bench i also did ember again. HE put down another energy couldnt do nothing and i pulled out a charmeloen and put it down put an energy making three and did flamethrower bringing him down to 10 hp knowing that he was going to die he swiched pokemon to a pinsir and plased a energy down this turn i decided to put down charizard. But couldnt go. He put down one more energy and did irongrip which took 40 because of weakness but he got KOed the next turn by being killed by fire spin. I was filling good about this match and i thought i could win with out swiching pokemon because of 1 sp in my hand. His next to pokemon bublasaur and bellsprout died misaberaly to charizard with only taking 20 hp from him bringing him down to 60. His next pokemon was a exegggutor with 2 energy on it and he did big expolsion taking 40 hp from me.But fire spin worked agian 1 more pokemon to go and it was a hard one ryhorni decided i should use s.p and he put an energy down so did i but we both didnt have enough to do a attack so he put another and so did i. Then he had enough for horn attack bringing me down to 30 but the next turn i won with fire spin  1-0! This tournament was single elemination.
    Round2 agianst mark fire deck- There were only 10 people left so i felt like i could win the tournament.This match was a rip off because on the first go he didnt get a basic and i did which made me the winner and i didnt want to win that way so i asked for a redo but they said no.
    Round3 agianst my friend jared- I  knew his deck well and had a stategy to win which was get out blastiose because his deck was all water and i did a good job doing that because on first go i got out a blastoise and ditto and energies. HE put out vulpix and i put out ditto. My go i drew a charmeleon & put a energy on ditto he did the same so my go agian i put another energy down and did confuse ray and did it succesfully by hurting him 10 and confusing him but he got heads and did the same move but was unsuccessfully.On my turn i drew squirtle but kept ditto outand only hurt him 10 and this time he put nine tails out with 2 energy and he couldnt go. I drew another blastiose and did confuse ray again hurting him 10 and confusing him he got tails so i did it agian taking 10 hp but didnt get heads so he put an energy down still couldnt go so i took 10 away agian but died the next turn so i brought out a squirtle with 3 energys on him and did bubble. but died agian from fire blast buti had a break through i pulled out a wurturtle and brought out ditto with 2 energy and did lure and brought out growlithe. on my next turn i got squirtlwe but didnt swich thinking i could take out a couple of pokemon with ninetails and i did i took out 2 growlithes.before switching to blastoise and right there he knew i was going to win and i already had to energies so it was his turn he did confuse ray with vulpix and then i toasted his deck killing 2 vulpix and 2 charmanders for the win 2-0 there was now only to people left because the other one got kicked out for using a fake charizard.
