Hi, Pojo.  My name is Joey Lockner, and I live in Ogden, Utah.  I
recently participated in a tournament at a small cardshop called Netheads.  I
will tell you the results of the tournament, but first . . . my deck.  It is
called "Bench Press" because the point is to destroy the opponents bench.





2 Voltorb
1 Electrode (Jungle)
2 Magnemite
1 Magneton (Fossil)
2 Pikachu Jungle
1 Pikachu Promo
2 Raichu (Fossil)
3 Hitmonlee
2 Zapdos (Fossil)
  That's sixteen cards.
4 Gust of Wind
4 Eng. Removal
4 Switch
2 PokeCenter
  That's fourteen more.
10 Gr. Eng.
20 El. Eng.
  That's thirty more.
        60.



                                                             Tournament Report
        Me vs. ??? (Grass- Water)
               In my starting hand, I got a Hitmonlee, a Magneton, and a
Promo Pikachu (plus some shock eng.)  I sent out Pikachu.  He sent out a
Poliwag.  I won the flip, and drew my card.  A Magnemite.  I benched it, and
attached an energy to Pikachu for Growl.  He powered out Poliwag, but Growl
stopped it.  It went on like this until he finished Pikachu, leaving me with
just one prize.  It was Magneton vs. Poliwrath.  I self- destructed for the
win.
          (1-0)
        Me vs. Jake (Shock- Grass)
               Creamed him.
          (2-0)
        Me vs. Laura (Grass- Ground)
            All I got to begin with was a Jungle Pikachu, one energy, and
useless trainers.  She got Hitmonchan, won the flip, powered it up.  Uh- Oh .
. . I
          (2-1)
        Me vs. The Terminator (He was a dork, and he thought he could
terminate my deck.)  Any way he had a Mono- Shock.
            I had a great start.  One Voltorb, an Electrode, and a Hitmonlee
to top it all off.  O, and four fighting energy.  He got a Voltorb, a
Pikachu, and a Magnemite.  He won the flip, but he had to forfeit because of
his soccer game at 10:00.  As he left he said, "I'll be back."  Then he
started laughing like a madman.  Anyway, back to the tournament.  I made the
finals and had to face an undefeated kid with a Fire- Shock.
       The Finals
                We both started pretty good.  I got Hitmonlee, Pikachu,
Raichu, Zapdos, and three shock energies.  His pretty good was a Moltres, a
base Zapdos, a Charmander, a Charmeleon, and three fire energies.  I sent in
Pikachu while he deployed Charmander.  I won the toss, and attached an energy
to Pikachu for Growl. (By the way, it was Promo.)  He attached an energy for
Scratch, but it was useless against Growl.  I attached another energy. 
Thundershock!!!  Paralalysis.  Charmander gone.  He sent out Zapdos, now with
two energy.  Seeing that he couldn't attack, I evolved into Raichu.  After a
draw or two, he had four energies on his Zapdos, and I had two on mine.  He
thunderbolted to kill Raichu, but I sent out Zapdos for a Z to Z battle, and
attached another energy to mine.  Then I waited, but so did he.  After a few
turns, Hitmonlee was ready, as was my Zapdos.  His needed one more energy. 
Also, he had got a full evolution of Charmander, and was building up a
Charizard to burn us.  Z vs. Z was a good battle, but finally mine won.  He
deployed Charizard and killed Zapdos.  I sent out Hitmonlee, but it was
useless.   He had the game in the bag.  Anyway, I took second, and won five
Fossil boosters.  I got an Aerodactlyl, a holo Moltres, a Muk, a holo
Articuno, and a Lapras.


        Well, that's my Killer Deck.  Hope you like it.  Please post it.
