pokemon master        kaitlin dawson
tournament                let the games begin
date                          april 8,2000
deck name                that darn clefable, tolja 'buzz
   
   i played in a tournament that was  three rounds best two out of three and
then playoffs
this was the second time i used the deck in a tournament and i placed first
both times, i beat my dad the first tournament but i am going to tell you
about the second one.
   my deck consists of:
        2 clefairy
        2 clefable
        3 hitmonchan
        3 electabuzz
        3 scyther
       
        2 potions
        3 computer search
        2 item finder
        2 energy retrieval
        3 gust of winds
        4 plus power
        2 switch
        2 scoop up
        3 energy removal
        4 bill
        2 oak

        8 fist energy
        6 lightning energy
        4 double colorless energy
   

  in the tournament i played:

  first round  vs. michael w/psychic
       these 2 games i won quick. i saw that he had the alakazam line but i
could not tell if it was a stall or attack deck. in both games he could only
get to alakazam once and i killed alot of abras. he did not get alot of
basics so this was quick. i won 2-0
and not alot happened.

  second round  vs. mark(my daddy) w/ a haunter/ machop/ scyther deck
  daddy built this deck the night before so i did not know much about it.
the first game was very active and lasted a long time. he would bring out
machop to hit my electabuzz and clefairy,and his gastly/ haunter to go after
my hitmonchan. transparency saved him alot but i kept using my potions to
keep my pokemon alive. what won the first game for me was i got a clefable
up late anfter i killed two of his macops and i did not see another one. he
only had to kill one of mine and i had to kill three of his but he couldn't
attack with haunter and i removed scyther's energy. i killed three in a row
and one the first game.   the second game i got out to a quick lead by using
'buzz to knock out ascyther and two gastlys. he ended up killing one that
electabuzz but i had a powered scyther and clefable which finished off the
last of his pokemon. daddy was an OK loser(but he still went away a loser)
HA HA
 

  third round  vs. angela w/ fire/ kangaskhan deck
   angela is this nice lady who is my friend. we were both 4-0 going into
this round. i didn't want to play her cause i wanted to win but didn't want
to beat her. she played good and i did have fun. she got her charizard out
in the first game but i killed him with electabuzz and hitmonchan. then she
only had a kangaskhan left and he was weak to hitmonchan so it went fast. i
don't remeber much about the second game but it was fun. angela kept making
me laugh. i won it and was now 6-0 and went to the playoffs.


playoffs  first against luke w/ aerodactyl/magmar/ electabuzz
   i remember this cause it was quick.  i started out with scyther and he
had fossil magmar. i attached an energy and he then smokescreened me for 20.
i removed his energy and put a dce on scyther and flipped thru the
smokescreen for 30 damage.. he put down a mysterious fossil,attached a fire
to magmar and smokescreened for 20 again. i put a plus power on scyther and
flipped thru the smokescreen again killing magmar and luke had to bring up
aerodactyl. he drew attached energy and had no other basics. i killed
aerodactyl (he was weak to scyther and that was it). inever thought i would
win that game i was lucky in my flipping

  playoffs   second round  vs. justin w/ a haymaker
   i  did OK this game. we went back and forth for a while and i got a late
oak that let me remove his energy and plus power to get a leg up and i won
this late in the game. i just know i got into the finals and it was late, i
was tired and don't remember much.


finals  vs. josh w/ a haymaker
   this deck was alot like the one i just played against justin but josh
used kangaskhan, too.i don't remember much about this round. i know we were
going to play 2 out of 3 and josh won the first game. i won the next two and
i felt bad cause in the last game he could only get two basics and although
he killed 3 of my pokemon i only had to kill those two and i won.

  i won a $12 store credit and bought a gym trainer pack. i got a holo
arcanine i really wanted and a snorlax my daddy liked so i gave that to him.
