Round 1: The first person I played was my friend I brought with me to the
Tournament. Thanks to Hitmonchan and Rapidash, I won the match because of no
more basic Pokemon for the opponent.

Round 2: I had to face a newbie at the tournament, who had a pre-constructed
"Zap!" deck. Since Lightning's weakness to Fighting and
Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff's resistance to Psychic gave me the advantage, I knew I
wouldn't have a problem. And I didn't. Wigglytuff came out fast, with 5
bench-warmers, I used Do The Wave to tear through the Opponent's bench. Soon
Wigglytuff was gusted back to the bench, but my two built-up Hitmonchans took
care of the rest. At the end, The 10 HP-Left Mewtwo went to the bench, but I
brought out Hitmonlee and Stretch-Kicked it to win the match.

Round 3: I faced a kid who was 7 years old. He was actually good, and even
kept his record. He told me he was 10-4. Luckily I was undefeated. The big
thing is that he only got basically evolved guys during the match (and only 6
basics that I tore up). He had Jolteon, Blastoise, Venusaur, Charizard,
Alakazam, Machamp, and all those other guys, and had no energy to spare. I
was surprised he was 10-4 (now 10-5)! I beat him easily.

Round 4: I faced my friend to a rematch one AGAIN (he's that kind of kid who
won't give up until he wins). This time he had Kabutops and Gengar ready to
go. Wigglytuff took care of Gengar and Kabutops was diminished by Hitmonlee
(thanks to a stretch-kick early in the match and then a High Jump Kick when
he came out). Sadly, those were the only two that could prove a challenge
against my team of two Hitmonchan, Wigglytuff, Hitmonlee, and Rapidash. So I
won the match with the opponent needing to draw 5 prizes.

Round 5: I finally got to go head-to-head against an undefeated player
(12-0). I was 11-0 with both of my decks combined (If you're on the PoJo, go
see Toxic H2O in the October '99 Killer Decks). He started with Shellder and
Horsea. Shellder didn't do anything, however Horsea smokescreened and got
lucky each time to take down one of my Hitmonchan. I trotted out Jigglypuff
and destroyed Horsea with Lullaby and Pound. It was now 4-5 in prizes (me
having 4). His next duo was Lapras and Seadra. Lapras was tough to kill,
since I became confused. I switched in Rapidash (it was the best I can do, I
had no other Pokemon). I also put out Energy Removal to take away an energy
off of Lapras and used agility. I got a heads, so I was able to stall their
attack. Using a Bill, I got an Aerodactyl (I had a fossil in handy), So I was
able to put him on his bench and manage to fully power him. I eventually
destroyed Lapras with Rapidash, but a Seadra destroyed it. So My Aerodactyl
took the stage and knocked out Seadra. He then used Oak to get 7 new cards,
and got Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur with 4 Grass Energy (something tells
me he didn't shuffle very well). It was 2-4 in prizes so far (I had 2). His
Venusaur said bye-bye to Aerodactyl. I put out Ponyta with two energy, Used
an Energy Removal, and Flame-Tailed Venusaur for 60 damage, due to weakness.
Since he only had 3 energy, my opponent gave up his Venusaur and I knocked it
out. His last Pokemon was a Cloyster, and 50 HP wasn't enough. I received a
Hitmonlee, built it up, put it out and High Jump Kicked the Cloyster to knock
it out and for me to take my last prize. I beat him! I became 12-0 and my
opponent became 12-1.
