Hello, I've never sent in a Deck report, and I hope that I include all the
info.

I used a deck that I built just for fun.  It is built around the card
"Energy Search" and not surprisingly there are four of those cards in it.

Something For Everyone

Pokemon:
3 Jigglypuff
2 Wigglytuff
2 Scyther
2 Psyduck
2 Hitmonchan
2 Mr. Mime
2 Magmar (fossil)
2 Electabuzz

Energy:
3 Double Colorless
3 Grass
3 Water
4 Fighting
5 Psychic
5 Fire
4 Electric

Trainers
4 Energy Search
4 Bill
2 Energy Retrieval
2 Item Finder
2 Computer Search
1 Mr. Fuji
1 Professor Oak


Round One
Koffing/Electabuzz/Aerodactyl Deck.  This is the longest game that I
played during the whole tourney.  Opened with Magmar and Psyduck on bench.
He opened with Koffing and Mysterious Fossil on bench.  I smokescreened
with Magmar and eventually killed his Koffing.  Magmar didn't get off
lightly, so I decided to let him stay out there with his confusion, and
buy some turns with him.  While that was happening, we were both building
our bench.  I Professor Oaked away one of my Wigglytuffs because it wasn't
doing me much good with Aerodactyl on his bench.  Eventually it came down
to us both having one prize when the judge called the one minute mark.  My
Scyther had just Knocked out Aerodactyl, he brought out Electabuzz.  He
did 30 damage to Scyther, and 10 to himself.  My bench was Jigglypuff (One
energy), Psyduck, and Electabuzz.  I had in my hand Double Colorless, Item
Finder, Energy Search, and a Psychic Energy.  This was my last turn, and I
didn't want it to be a draw, so I energy searched, pulled a Fighting
energy, and used this opportunity to check if my other Wigglytuff was my
last prize.  Luckily it was still in the (now 14 card) deck.  I placed
Double Colorless on Jigglypuff, used Item Finder to get Professor Oak, and
drew 7 cards.  I then retreated Scyther, sent up Jigglypuff, benched
Hitmonchan and another Scyther, evolved into Wigglytuff, and won just
before time was up.

Round Two
Ninetails/Arcanine/Blastoise Deck.  He gets the first turn, and I draw two
Scythers.  His Charmander is up first with a Vulpix on his bench.  He does
20 damageto my Scyther.  I do energy search, and get a grass, put it on my
bench, retreat my active, and do sword dance.  His Charmander embers my
Scyther.  I put down double colorless, and kill his Charmander.  Out comes
his Vulpix and an energy.  I end up benching him.

Round Three
Alakazam/Gengar/Mr. Mime Deck.  I get the first turn.  I draw a Scyther,
Jigglypuff and a Psyduck.  I open with Scyther.  He benched Abra and Mr.
Mime, his opening pokemon is the Fossil Gastly.  I sent out Jigglypuff.
Jigglypuff evolved (after killing Mr. Mime, and Gastly) and the game was
over soon after.

Round Four
Get this, I drew the random Bye this round.

Round Five
Koffing/Nidoking/Muk Deck.  Needless to say, my Mr. Mime ended up powering
my Item Finders.  Electabuzz up front, Psyduck and Hitmonchan on bench.
He had Koffing up front, with 2 Nidorans (male) on bench.  Electabuzz
Paralyzed Koffing, then flipped heads for the K.O. next round.  I Billed
twice, then Itemfindered for Bill again, stocked my bench, and brought out
Wigglytuff.  Wigglytuff got KOed by a Breedered Nidoking, but not before
doing 60 damage.  Scyther came out and finished the job.  Grimers and Muks
came next, but they couldn't get powered up before I got my prizes.

Well, that was about it.  Because of the Bye, I was the only one to go
with all wins (which was kind of disappointing, I would rather have played
for the win).  They had a second and third tiebreaker, but other than
that, there was no need to have any additional rounds.  I played with
people after the tourney, and to my surprise, this deck was doing well
against the Energy Removal/Hitmonchan deck that the majority of the field
had.  Overall, I'm happy with the deck, although I don't think I will keep
it around, because it is really difficult to play.
