1st Round:  Me vs. Josh P. With Fire (AHHHH!!) Deck.

This kid had a very good deck but he wasn't very good with skill.  The first
match he had out an Eevee and I a Bulbasaur with Koffing on my bench. He went
first and killed my Bulbasaur in 2 turns so I brought out Koffing and
confused him and then he hurt himself I killed him and all he had left was a
Vulpix with no energy on it.  I confused it and then killed it eventulally. 
The second round he basically pounded me   with a Magmar and it was over in
like 13 turns.  The third round was really close but i won because he decided
to stop attaching energies after the 10th turn and i won because he couldn't
attack the rest of the match.

Record: 1-0

Round 2:Me vs Dustin with Grass/Water confusion deck.

Dustin is one of my best friends and he always has a good deck idea. This
deck had Laprases, Venomoths, Tentacreuls, and Koffings. Dustin always beats
me but I was having a good day today. The first match I got out an early
Venomoth and Weepinbell and was doing quite well. Halfway through though my
mom came and said she wanted me to leave.  I begged and pleaded and she
finally decided to let me stay.  I won the first and second match by doing
what Dustins deck was designed to do to me----Confuse!!!

Record: 2-0

Round 3: Me vs. Dane (another friend) with haymaker potpourri

Dane is always a good player I play him all the time at pokemon league but he
had just made a new deck and was playing especially well today.  In this
match he played stragetically with Mr Mimes against my Venasaurs and Fossil
Magmars against every other Pokemon I had. He beat me in two straight matches.

Record 2-1

______________________________________________________________________

They told me and Dane that we won our age group and we would play against
others from other age groups.

Round 4: Me vs. Kid ( SORRY) with Psychic/Water deck

This was a very good deck idea but not many good cards. I just made one like
it but with better cards. Anyway back to the matches In the first match he
got out an Articuno with two Slowbros on his bench. He only had one Articuno
in the deck but it was all he needed. He used Strange Behavior and the Mr.
Fuji like 3 times and then 2 scoop ups. He pounded away with Articuno and I
never seriously got to hurt him.  By now i was scared. Dane had already won
his match while we were just starting our second.  This match i got out
Koffing and confused and killed all of his Psyducks and Horseas ( he had no
Seadras or Golducks which i dont understand) any way i won the second match.
The third match he got out Articuno and i got Bulbasaur and Bellsprout. I put
out Bellsprout and built up my Bulbasaur into a Venasaur with the help of
Bill (Young William ) and a Pokeball. I destroyed his Articuno and two
Slowbros because i had 3 Pokemon Centers and I would just energy trans then
use it and energy trans back.  I won and the got a bye while Dane beat down
on some little kid.

Record 3-1
