First Battle

I played against this guy I usually play against.  He had a Grass/Psychic/?.  We decide on 3 prizes and draw 7 cards each.  I got a first hand of Hitmonchan, Dugtrio, Jigglypuff, 2 Fighting Energy, Switch, and Potion.  I start with Hitmonchan and he starts with Nidoran male.  We flip, I'm heads he's tails.  It's heads.  I draw a Chansey, put him and Jigglypuff on my bench, and attach an energy to Hitmonchan.  I Jab for 20.  On his turn, he puts Gastly on his bench and attaches energy to Nidoran and flips for Horn Hazard.  It's heads for 30.  On my turn, I draw an Energy Removal.  I attach energy to Chansey (another Jab will faint Nidoran).  I play Potion to leave 10 damage on Hitmonchan and Jab.  I draw my prize.  Double Colorless Energy!  He sends out Gastly.  He attaches energy and Licks for 20 (weakness).  I'm paralyzed.  I draw a Fighting Energy.  I attach the Double Colorless Energy to Chansey and pass.  He draws and puts Nidoran female on his bench.  He licks for another 20 and I'm not paralyzed.  I draw a Snorlax.  I put it on my bench and Switch out Hitmonchan for Chansey.  I attach a Fighting Energy to Chansey and Double Edge leaving 80 damage on Chansey.  I draw my happy prize and it's a... drum roll... Wigglytuff!  He sends out Nidoran female.  He attaches a grass energy to her and uses Fury Swipes for 20.  Since Chansey's energy is about to run out, I retreat him for Jigglypuff-->Wigglytuff and draw.  YES!  IT'S A DOUBLE COLORLESS ENERGY!  I attach it to Wigglytuff and do Lullabye.  He stays asleep for his next turn.  I draw an energy and put it on Wigglytuff and use Do the Wave for 40 damage.  He wakes up and uses Fury Swipes to do 10 damage, I use Do the Wave oh yeah!

Second battle

I play against this little kid who looks about 7.  He has a bad Rain Dance.  He forces me to use 1 prize because he thinks his deck is so good he'll beat me the first time.  We draw and I get Machop, Kangaskhan, 3 Fighting Energy, Clefairy, and Pokémon Trader.  I send out Machop, he sends out Squirtle.  We flip and he goes first.  He puts a Water Energy on Squirtle and Bubbles.  I'm not Paralyzed.  I draw a Hitmonchan.  I use Trader to trade Clefairy for a Snorlax.  I put an energy on Machop and Low Kick for 20 after using Energy Removal on his Squirtle.  He Bubbles and I'm not paralyzed.  I draw, Low Kick, and win the game. :)

 Third Battle

I play against this adult guy who is nice and really funny.  We decide on 3 prizes, and we draw 7 cards each.  I get Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, 2 Fighting energy, 1 Double Colorless Energy, 1 Switch, and Bill.  Since Jigglypuff is my only basic, I send him out.  I call heads and go first.  I draw an Energy Search and use it just for fun.  I put the Double Colorless on Jigglypuff and pound his Weedle for 20.  He draws, puts an energy on Weedle, and uses Poison Sting.  I'm not poisoned, but he groans.  He tells me that I'll win anyways because he has Kakuna but can't evolve him yet, another Pound will faint him, and he has no basics.  Sure enough, I won.
3-0

Fourth Battle

I play against Lee, the all authority on Pokémon battles.  He wins every time I play against him, and I play against him every Sunday and Wednesday.  If I win this time I'm going to scream for joy. :)  Anyways, we decide on 1 prize (uh-oh!  It usually takes him 2 prizes before I get one!) and I get the coin flip.  I draw Double Colorless, 3 Fighting energy, Chansey, Bill, and Tauros.  I put down Chansey.  We turn our cards over and I see he has base Gastly (he usually evolves it into Gengar REALLY quick).  That's good, because Chansey has Resistance to Psychic.  I draw Energy Removal, use Bill to get Switch and Double Colorless.  I put one of the Double Colorless energies on Chansey and use Scrunch to prevent all damage done to him.  He draws, puts Psychic energy on Gastly, and uses Sleeping Gas.  Next turn, I draw a Dugtrio, and use Energy Removal.  I put the other Double Colorless on Chansey and use Double Edge for the win!  I won, I won!  I can't believe I won!  Against the all-authority of Pokémon battles, I won!  Oh, I SO rock!
4-0

Fifth and Last Battle

The gym leader calls last match because we only have 10 minutes left.  Me and Brent decide on two prizes each and draw our 7 cards.  I get Wigglytuff, Hitmonchan, Kangaskhan, 2 Fighting Energy, Energy Search, and Machoke.  I send out Hitmonchan.  He wins the coin flip and sends out Eevee.  I send out Hitmonchan.  He draws and attaches a fire energy to Eevee.  He uses Tail Wag and blocks my next attack.  Darn.  I draw an Energy Removal and use it on Eevee.  I also use my Energy Search to draw a Fighting Energy.  I put my energy on Hitmonchan and pass, thanks to Tail Wag.  He draws and moans because he has no energy in his hand.  Whoopie!  I draw a Professor Oak and put Energy on Hitmonchan and put Kangaskhan on my Bench.  I use Jab for 40 damage (weakness, of course) and smile evilly.  He draws and glares at me, then passes.  Heh heh heh.  He still can't find any energy. (After the match I asked him how much energy was in his deck and he said 9, with a two color deck!  I told him to use 24-28 energy next time.)  I draw a Switch., then use Jab and draw a Fighting Energy as my prize.  He has no basics so I win!
5-0

Well, overall, I got 100 points that day towards my Rainbow Badge.  I rewarded myself by buying 3 booster packs, 1 of each type.  Inside the Basic pack was a Computer Search (rats!).  Inside the Jungle pack was a holo Vaporeon, and inside the Fossil pack was a non-holo Magneton.  Cool!  Maybe someday I'll make a Grass deck and send it in, but for now, I'm happy with my Fighting deck.  I don't really like these, but other people seem to, so here's with some Props and Slops:

Props to Hall of Fame for having really cool tournaments
Props to Lee for being funny and a great Pokémon trainer
Props to my mom for driving me here and picking me up
Props to myself for having an undefeated record this time
Props to Satoshi Tajiri for the wonderful idea of Pokémon

Slops to my the bratty kid from my second match
Slops to the kid who stole 3 decks from other various people
Slops to Digimon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
