Round 1: verses James G. with Muk, Aero deck.
    This match was LONG.  I drew an abra, gastly, chancey, and energies.  He
puts a Pincer as active and I put out chansey.  I stall for about 10 turns. 
By then he has a Aero and 2 Scythers on his bench.  I still have a Chansey
out with 90 damage on it.  I finally get a pc search and search for an
Electabuzz.  I put it on the bench,slap an energy on it, and retreat Chansey
for Buzz.  I paralyze him then do 40 next turn.  I kill it shortly after.  He
brings out the scyther w/ 1 energy on it.  I kill him before he can attack. 
With a grimer in his hand, heputs that as active and it dies in 2 truns..  
He finally brings out Syther. I kill that and he is forced to bring out aero.
He does and wing attacks me.  I kill him in 2 turns.  With me up on prizes
by 5, I got careless.  He battled back to kill 3 of my pokemon.  I finally
get a much-needed Alakazam out and stall.  This time, he uses a fuji, item
finds for it, and uses it again.  Now, I only 6 cards left and he has 8 cards
left so I have to killa pokemon.  He puts a Scyther out.  I promote a mime
and meditate for 10.  I meditate again.  He has 30.  He retreats for a
Pinsir.  I retreat mime, and dark mind with gengar.  He cant retereat and i
dark mind fo rthe win.
        1-0

Round 2: verses Mike D. with rain dance
    This was very fast.  He draws 2 squirtles and a carp.  I draw 2 pc
searches, buzz, and energy.  I thunderpunch each of them and I win.
        2-0

Round 3: verses older man (don't know name) with stall
    Stall matches take forever.  I draw a gengar, abra, and a breeder with
energy and pc search.  I get out gengar second turn.  I dark mind his
mewtwo(basic) and his abra (basci) to kill them both.  he brings out mime so
i retreat and birngout a fossil gastly and lick for a couple of turns.  I
killed it that and a benched dratini for the win.

Round 4: verses Jason with a VERY bad deck
    It had about 4 colors. he brought out hitmo and a kanga.  I killed them
both with mime and he brought out a magmar and piklachu.  He couldn't get
energy and I won.

SemiFinals: verses mike again.
    This time i see blastoise second turn on the bench with lapras active.  I
search for a buzz and put it active.  I thunbderpunch twice to kill the
lapras.  He brings out blastoise, rain dances, and kills my buzz.  I bring
out haunter and stall.  I ser and engery remove him 3 straight times.  i
stall for about 15 turns.  he finally flips 3 coins heads and attacks me and
kills me.  With prizes tied 2-2 with 10 cards left, i decide to stall.  I let
him kill a gengar and fuji a chancey to put cards in my libray.  I promote
mime and stall for the win.

Finals: verses Jenna with an odd rain dance/ stall deck
    This was weird. Somehow she got out a blastoise and alakazam in 4 turns! 
I bring forth mime and stall.  I get a buzz out and kill 4 pokemon inlcuding
blastoise.  She has to bring out Alakazam.  I attack once and retreat,
promote gengar, and dark mind for the win!
