OK, here's the tournament results.

Round 1: West Barron: He had a good deck, but it was electric and grass(my
favorite types to fight.)

Battle 1: I got a horrible hand. All I got was a Ponyta. But the Ponyta
killed his Bulbasaur. I Oaked and got Hitmonchan with some fighting
energies. I killed his Electabuzz. He had no basics. I won.

Battle 2: I got a Magmar and Hitmonchan. He only got out a Pikachu. I killed
it in one shot. I won.

Round 2: Rob ????: He had 4 type deck and did pretty good nevertheless.

Battle 1: I got machop out and killed his gastly in one shot with a
pluspower. He had no more basics. I win.

Battle 2: He got out a full blown Charizard. I hate energy burn so much! It
took me 2 Magmars and 2 Hitmonchans but I beat it. He then got out a Gengar
and whooped me. He won.

Battle 3: My Hitmonchan whipped his Charmander, and he had no basics left. I
win.

Round 3: Jill ????: She had 5 energies in her whole grass/fire deck!

Battle 1: She got out a Venusaur, but had no energies what so ever. So
Magmar took care of that. She finally gets a right energy for a
ponyta, but 4 heads with doduo beat it. She had no more basics. I win.

Battle 2: I killed Charizard with Hitmonchan. That's all she had out. I win.

Quaterfinals: Terrance (the lucky kid who beat me on his last card in his
deck last time)was playing the same all grass deck.

Battle 1: He got out a full blown Sycther and a full blown Pinser.
Hitmonchan beats the Pinser, but it got killed by Sycther. He ended up
killing Ponyta and I ran out of basics. He wins.

Battle 2: Magmar! Magmar! Magmar! He pulled out a Venusaur and Magmar kills
it in one shot. He gets out another full blown Venusaur. One shot! He then
gets out a Sycther. One Shot! He gets out a Pinser, and kills me in one
shot. Hitmonchan beats his Pinser, but Beedrill
ends up beating Hitmonchan , and I have no more basics. He wins.

Semifinals: Alex, Terrance's brother and the guy who beat me for first place
was playing an awesome Electric alone deck unlike before.

Battle 1: All he got out was an Electabuzz. Hitmonchan beats it and he
runs out of basics. I win.

Battle 2: Lickitung confuses all my pokemon and I keep special punching and
flame tailing myself so he gets all his prizes. He wins.

Battle 3: He was using a dodrio because he saw how good it worked for me.
Dodrio helped him alot, but all the props goes out to Raichu's agility. He
kept getting heads and I couldn't attack him. I run out of basics. He wins.

I got eliminated and it was brother Vs brother in the finals, and Alex won.
Alex won 2 tournaments in a row. He is undefeated. For third, I got 1 fossil
booster, 1 jungle booster, and 1 basic set booster. I got a Non-foil
Articuno, a foiled Clefable, and a Beedrill. It looks like Alex, Terrance,
and me are going to keep splitting 1st, 2nd,and 3rd. But, it looks like Alex
might keep winning while me and Terrance keep splitting 2nd and 3rd. I guess
you guys have to wait until next Friday to find out.
