I went to 2 Pokemon Leagues today so I figured insted of writing both
seperatly I'd do them together.
I am happy. I got my Misty's Challenge Sticker, another Holo Mew, and a new
nickname "devil boy". My track record is still doing good (37-3), but I got
my first league loss today! (NOOOOOOO!) I'm still happy though (forced smile)

Lets see how I did.
Match 1 vs. Cocky Kid with Colorless/Psychic Deck
This kid was so evil. He kept telling me how he was going to win. It started
with me getting an Chansey and an Abra. I made Chansey active and benched the
Abra. He had Dratini! Resistance to Psychic was going to be bad. I stalled
with Chansey while building up a Kadabra on the bench. I took at a Dratini
but meanwhile he was building up a Dragonite and a Gengar. A few hits from
Scyther eliminated the Gengar but the Dragonite was a problem. He either beat
me down with it or stalled with Mime. We were tied, 1 prize to one when he
brought out Mr. Mime. I used Abra. It all came down to this flip. If heads I
would paralyze and then kill him next turn, if tails his Dragonite would
probably kill Abra. I flipped.
It spun, the little Chansey looked like a spinning skydiver about to hurl. It
hit the table with a bang. I looked for the gleaming shine of a Chansey, but
no. I saw little energy symbols annoncing my fate. Game over. (Ok, so maybe
I'm overeacting)
Record. 0-1 (SOB)

Match 2 vs. Kid with Grass deck.
Another person who kept saying they would beat me.  I got mad. I managed to
get a Kadabra into play and beat up all the little 50 Hp pokemon they put
out.
Record 1-1

Match 3 vs. Kid with Fire deck.
Of course. The first game I get all 3 of my Scythers in the First hand.  His
base Magmar just knocked them down one after the other. I finally got a
loaded Kadabra into play. After taking down 3 pokemon, I evolved into
Alakazam, did some swapping and won with a Mewtwo.
Record 2-1

Match 4 vs. Kid with Water Deck.
Short match. His Psyducks didn't stand a chance vs. Scyther.
Record 3-1

Match 5 vs. Kid with ??? Deck.
I really didn't find out. He saw my Alakazam and forfieted. Strange...
Record 4-1

Moving on to the next league...

After wolfing down a Triple Crunch sandwich from KFC and buying some more
fake damage counters I arrived at my next tourney.

Match 6 vs. Kid with Electric deck.
OH MY GOD! I almost lost again! This is getting scary. Maybe I'm slipping...
My opponent started by taking out a few Abras and Mewtwos with a Kangaskhan.
He never flipped tails! I managed to take it out wth a Scyther, but of
course, waiting on his bench was a fully powered Jolteon! He took out some
more people and had only 2 prizes left. I tied the score with a Scyther but
it was soon taken out by a Zapdos. Not very smart though and left it sitting
there while building up his bench. I powered up a Kadabra and Blew it and an
Electrode away.
Record 5-1

Match 7 vs. Kid with Electric deck.
Not again! Do I have to lose twice today? No! It will not happen again! This
was a good match. I got an Abra and he got a Movie Pikachu. We soon had a
Kadabra with 10 hp left vs. a Raichu with 30 hp left (used a potion). And of
course, I had gotten SERed a turn before. I prayed for a savior and sure
enough, I got a Computer Search. I Searched for a Scyther, powered it up
while he killed Kadabra, and brough Raichu down with 2 Slashes.
Record 6-1

Match 8 vs Gym Leader ? with modified Blackout.
Not a bad match. He had the advantage in the beginning with a Machamp, but I
soon Took that down along with a Staryu, Wartortle, and Gyrados. In the
process he took down a Mewtwo, Kadabra, and Abra. I started to feel guilty
after evolving Kadabra and scooping Chansey up getting rid of 90 damage.
Scyther won the game.
Record 7-1

Match 9 vs.Kid with electric deck
Same kid with the good coin flips. I figured I needed a few more points
before leaving. This was fast. 2 hits from Tauros won me the game.
Final Results 8-1

I had fun. I got more damage counters, and I got Barbie's autograph at the
Big Barbie Event at Toys R' Us! HOOOORRRAY (Just kidding)
