Note: Every Illustration on these cards are done by Keiji Kinebuchi.  I wanted to see if I could make a workable deck with just one artist's cards.

 

First Battle - I battled a kid nicknamed Koga.  He had a Electric Fire deck.  He only had out a 40hp pokemon, I had Voltorb active, with Voltorb and Magnemite on the bench, and in my hand I had an Electrode.  I evolved Voltorb on the second turn, did BuzzZap and attached Electrode to Magnemite, and did self destruct to win the game.

 

Second Battle - I played Koga again and won again.  I used an Electrode.

 

Third Battle - I played up against a Raindance type deck, and I started out with Dittos.  I don't remember too much of the battle.  It was long, and in the end I lost.

 

Fourth Battle - I played one of the first Gym Hero decks I've seen.  It was all Misty.  I had a Voltorb active and a Voltorb on my bench.  I had energy in my hand.  My opponent just had a Misty's Horsea out.  I attacked with my Voltorb for 20 (weakness).  My opponent evolved into Misty's Seadra, and did Tail Snap, I attacked agan for 20.  My opponent knocked me out, then my other Voltorb knocked him out a couple of turns later.

 

Fifth Battle - Psychic Deck.  I had Voltorb, plenty of energy, and an Electrode in my hand.  They didn't have much out.  It was a semi-quick battle.  I won.

 

Sixth Battle - I played against a grass deck.  I had Voltorb out and got knocked out pretty quick.  I lost.

 

Seventh Battle - A fighting/water deck.  A pretty long battle.  I had dittos at the start of the game.  Towards the end I had Voltorbs and Magnemites. I don't remember many details other than that I won.
