OK, i played in a tournament with about 15-20 people at a place called zany
brainy  (sounds fake,
doesnt it?) in allentown, PA. september 18th.  i was mostly playing with all
these little kids with fair and okay decks (their parents probably make them
for them...) heres how it went:

my first match:
(me vs. some gay little 9 year old that thinks he knows all there is to know
about pokemon)

ok this was an easy win.  he was using an all electric deck.  he pulled 2
pikachu and a magnemite
on the 7 card draw. i drew chansey, kangaskahn, and a double colorless energy
(lucky me..)
kangaskahn got gnawed a few times when i was building up some energy, but i
got my revenge by
taking out pikachu with comet punch (i got two heads).  he sent out his other
pikachu without any
energy on it and i did comet punch again and killed it. my prizes so far were
a bill and a grass
energy.  magnemite was next. he did thunder wave to me and i was paralyzed.
GRRRR!! on my
 turn i couldnt really do much but i DID draw a nidoran, which i evolved into
nidorino. his turn. he
 smiled like a retarded grinch and put an electric energy on magnemite and
did self destruct.
 kangaskahn was kinda hangin on. i drew a prize since magnemite killed
himself and the kid asked
 me what i was doing. i said magnemite was knocked out and he argued that it
doesnt count as a
 win. he called a judge guy over and told him that i was cheating. the judge
told the kid that i was
 right and he wouldnt beieve it. he started crying and his parents drug him
out of the store. (heh, stupid kid..) the judge said i won due to
disqualification :) OK i guess that round didnt show off my deck too much. so
here are the other rounds...

second match:
me vs. a guy that works at zany brainy (he gets a break to play pokemon?!)

well this guy was like 10 years older than me so i expected lot from him. how
wrong i was... first of all, he was using an all fighting deck. second of
all, i dont think it was a very well thought out fighting deck either. the
only pokemon i saw were really crappy.  on my 7 card draw, i got a
charmander, a nidoran, and a nidorino (bravo......) ok well, i put a fire
energy on charmander and did scratch to his machop. this guy used a potion
and did low kick to me. my turn. i get a bill (hey... it IS bill!! dont u
just love bill??) i drew two cards and got a charmeleon and a super potion.
i put another fire energy on charmander and did scratch. (i figured id evolve
him next turn so i could do scratch instead of nothing and have to wait until
i get more energy...)his next turn was crappy. he used a super potion,
removing only 1 damage counter from machop, and discarding his only energy
for it. how dumb can ya get? he said "ohhh u betta hope i dont get a machoke
cuz i gotz a machamp right here in muh hand!" i replied with a smirk. my
turn. i put another fire on charmeleon and used flamethrower, killing that
annoying machop. haha!. ok its his turn. he brings out a sandshrew and does
sand attack. no biggie. my turn. i put another energy on charmeleon and did
flamethrower and killed his sandshrew. my prize was a nidoking! i evolved
nidorino into nidoking and the guy looked scared. nidoking only 1 energy card
on him so i attached another. he brings out another machop (ugh...) no energy
on it though. my turn. i put another grass energy on nadking and poison
machop with toxic.heh. his turn. he still has no energy for his machop. he
uses a bill. my turn. i use toxic on machop again and hes dead. 3rd prize for
me. it didnt matter though because this guy ran out of basic pokemon and i
won! :) he also admitted that he had no machamp. poor guy... at least he
wasnt like that kid i faced before. this guy was kinda nice and he gave me
some cards after the match. even though it was just a bunch of sandshrews and
an onix.

third match:
me vs. some 10 year old kid with glasses, the tournament leaders little
"helper"

this round was a little harder. he played a psychic/fire deck with 2 mewtwo
and a charizard. on my 7 card draw, i got a chansey and a charmander. i put
the charmander out first so i could build up chansey on the bench.  i put a
fire energy on charmander and did scratch to his drowzy. he pounded
charmander. i drew a double colorless and put it on chansey. i scratched
drowzy again. his turn. he pounded charmander. my turn. i put another fire
energy on charmander and did ember to drowzy, killing him. my prize was a
charmeleon. his turn. he brings out a fully charged mewtwo
and does psychic, which does 20 damage to me. i put a fire energy on
charmeleon and use a potion on him as well. his turn. mewtwo does psychic and
leaves me with 30 HP! i put another energy on charmeleon and used
flamethrower. mewtwo uses psychic and kills my charmeleon. he takes his
prize. i bring out my chansey and scrunch. i flipped the coin and it landed
on heads! :) he uses barrier and discards an energy. i draw a double
colorless and put it on chansey. his turn. he uses a bill and draws two
cards. my turn. i use double edge on mewtwo (i know, i know, BAD move...)
mewtwos dead. mwahahaha! he brings out his only pokemon, charmander.  he
starts complaining about having no energy. i told him to "shut up and play"
and he warned me that he would call a supervisor if i said that to him again.
i didnt wanna be disqualified now that ive made it this far. since this is a
kids toy store, you cant really say anything thats offensive to anybody. ok
anyway, back to the game. he brings out charmander and i knock him out with
double edge, not to mention myself as well. we both draw a prize. he gets
pretty upset about getting a psychic energy for his prize. he forfeits the
game because of this and i win again! ;) i dont know what kinda person would
forfeit after making it that far, he still coulda won. i know I wouldnt have
forfeit...

fourth and final round:
me vs. quiet blue....

ok this one wasnt very hard. this guy was about the same age as me with just
about as much experience. he was using an all psychic deck. i hate those so
much! he had 3 mewtwos, 2 mr. mimes, and 1 alakazam in there! lucky for me he
only drew a mewtwo out of those six.  he went first. he pulls out a jynx and
an abra. i pull out a charmander and a kangaskahn. i put my charmander out
first to build up my kangaskahn. i put a double colorless on kangaskahn and
used a bill. 2 fire energies. his turn. he puts a psychic energy on jynx. my
turn. i put a fire energy on kangaskahn and use an energy removal on jynx.
his turn. he puts another psychic energy on jynx. my toin'. i put another
fire on kangaskahn. his turn. he puts on another energy and uses double slap
but both coin flips end up tails! haha! my turn. i retreat charmander and
bring out kangaskahn. i evolve charmander and use kangaskahns comet punch. i
get 2 heads out of 4 flips. 60 damage to jynx. his turn. he uses double slap
again and gives me 10 damage. my turn. i use comet punch and deal 40 damage
to jynx, killing it. i draw a prize and it is a charizard! if i get a
charmeleon, i can really take control of the match! his turn. he brings out
his abra and does psyshock. tails; im not paralyzed! my turn. i use pokemon
trader and trade the nidorino in my hand for a charmeleon in my deck. i
evolve my charmander into charmeleon, then charizard. i put a fire energy on
charizard and attack with kangaskahn. comet punch does 40 damage. abras dead!
he claims he is out of basic pokemon and i win the tournament!!!!!  :*)     

   i won 3 jungle boosters and 3 american boosters in which i got another
kangaskahn, venusaur, and 2 scyther!!
