Torture Chamber Haymaker

He started with a Fossil Zapdos and I had a Machop. I was at least relieved that he couldn't attack until turn 4. I used the time to power my Bench. After 2 Thunderstorms, my Bench had been injured, but so was he. He had 20 damage on himself but had scored a knockout on Machop. I unleashed a Scyther that I powered on my Bench and Slashed. To my disappontment, he used a Potion(a common sight along with Super Potion in my area) and healed Zapdos to 30 damage(since it had 50).He Thunderstormed Scyther and almost Knocked it out but did 40 damage to himself this time. I Slashed and scored a Knockout. Next came Lt. Surge's Magneton. I watched in horror as Lt. Surge's Magneton destroyed Scyther easily with Mega Shock, not dealing 20 damage to itself. I used Neo Pikachu's Agility on him and got me a heads. He couldn't attack that turn so I used Agility again except this time got tails. He used Mega Shock and got heads(which meant he didn't take 20 damage also). He was winning at this point. He had 3 prizes and I had 1. I unleashed Hitmonchan that had been damaged twice by Zapdos and Jabbed Lt. Surge's Magneton. I scored another Knockout. He used Ditto and Jabbed me. I was at 10 HP so I figured I'd better score a Knockouut quick while I was still Fighting with Hitmonchan. I Gusted his Lt. Surge's Magnemite Lv.12 and used Jab. Due to Lt Surge's Magnemite Lv. 12's Fighting Weakness I scored a Knockout. He used Ditto and Jabbed me thanks to his Transform Poke'mon Power, making him a Hitmonchan. He Knocked Out Hitmonchan but I used a Machop next and Low Kicked. He Low Kicked me. I Low Kicked him. He Low Kicked me. I Low Kicked him and because he had no Bench left, I won.

This was definitely the most interesting match I played. He started with Rocket's Moltres who was armed with a Poke'mon Power:Rebirth. I had a Machop. After 3 turns of me powering up my Bench(Never playing any Scyther because of the deck type: Fire), he Fire Walled me and I retreated and used Neo Pikachu's Agility and got heads. I took 10 damage from Fire Wall's effect. He was unable to attack. I used Agility with a PlusPower and got heads. He didn't attack(again). I used Agility and got tails but Knocked him out. He used a Rocket Charmander next and restored his Bench with Rocket's Moltres due to Rebirth. He Fire Tailed. I used Agility. He Fire Tailed since I got tails and beat Pikachu. I used Hitmonchan next and Jabbed Charmander. That was that. Charmander was Knocked out. Next he used Rocket's Moltres(again thanks to Rebirth). He didn't attack yet. I Special Punched. He prepared to attack. I Special Punched with 2 PlusPowers.He Fire Walled. I Special Punched and took 10 damage due to Fire Wall. He Fire Walled. I used Togepi next and Poison Thorned, Knocking Rocket's Moltres due to Poison. He used Dark Rapidash. I used Poison Thorn about twice and when he was at 10 HP he retreated and unleashed Rocket's Moltres(that he Rebirthed), and was unable to attack yet. I used Super Energy Removal and Poison Thorn. He attached an Energy. I used Energy Removal. He stopped powering it up after I Poison Thorned again and Knocked it out. He finally stopped using Rebirth and used a Base Set Magmar. He was unable to attack in any way, shape, or form due to not having Energy cards attached. I Poison Thorned him. He still didn't attack. I Poison Thorned him again and scored a Knockout due to Poison damage. Next he used a Rocket Charmander that had 3 Fire Energy cards underneath it that he'd been getting from Gather Fire in the early to middle game. He decided not to attack. I Poison Thorned him. He had 20 damage and surprising as it may seem, Benched an Eevee(Jungle) and then evolved Charmander into Charmeleon, cancelling out the Poison. He still didn't attack. I used Poison Thorn as my deck was getting incredibly small. He evolved into Charizard(Note: He's not a little kid at all. He's a pre-teen. He only uses Charizard because of his 120 HP. He says he'll replace it with Dark Charizard as soon as possible.). He used Fire Spin and beat Togepi. I used Milktank and attacked with Body Slam, which brought Charizard to 70 damage and paralyzed it. He did nothing because he was paralyzed, except attach an Energy. I used Body Slam again, bringing Charizard to 90 damage and paralyzed it again. Then, he attached the final Energy and evolved Eevee into Flareon. Now I was so close to beating his Charizard and winning the game that I became overconfident. My deck had 2 cards left in it at this point. I Body Slammed Charizard again and brought it to 110 damage! Unfortunately, it didn't paralyze Charizard. He used Fire Spin and Milktank too fell prey to Charizard. Now the Final Bout between me and Jesse began. Each of us were down to 1 prize and my deck only had 1 card left in it. So, I could either make a move of victory or be humiliated once again by being defeated by a Charizard deck. Luckily, I picked my Poke'mon right. I used a Movie Promo Electabuzz and Quick Attacked Charizard into defeat. He then realized the victory earning move he could have made but didn't.

This was a pretty cool match, too. He started with a Rocket Slowpoke and I had a Farfetch'd. My Leek Slap was unsuccessful. He Headbutted Farfetch'd. I attached another Energy. He used Energy Removal on Farfetch'd. I powered my bench. He retreated and unleashed a Dark Kadabra after Headbutting again with Slowpoke last turn. He Mind Shocked and beat Farfetch'd. Next I used Scyther. I Slashed him. He Mind Shocked me after using Slowbro's Strange Behavior Power and using Mr. Fuji to get Slowbro back to the deck and then benching yet another Rocket Slowpoke and removing my Energy. I Slashed him after attaching another Energy. He Mind Shocked me with a PlusPower and beat Scyther. Next I used Usokii, the one Fighting Poke'mon weak to Water and not Psychic. I used Rock Throw and beat Dark Kadabra. He used a Slowpoke(Rocket) and Benched another Slowpoke(Rocket) and then a Psyduck(Rocket). He didn't attack. I used Rock Throw. He evolved his benched Slowpoke into Slowbro and used Strange Behavior to suck up 20 of that damage. Then he benched another Rocket Slowpoke and used Headbutt. I removed his Energy and used Rock Throw. He used Strange Behavior and Mr. Fuji again. He didn't attack. I used Rock Throw. He didn't attack but attached a Full Heal Energy to his Benched Slowpoke(Rocket). I removed that Energy and used Rock Throw, Knocking out Slowpoke. Next he unleashed a Psyduck(Rocket) with no Energy attached. I was certain Usokii would be beaten because of his Water weakness. He didn't attack. I used Rock Throw. He said "Psyduck's just gonna have to go 'Psy-aye-aye!'." He let Psyduck get Knocked Out by Usokii. All he had left were 2 Rocket Slowpokes. He benched a third one and used Headbutt. I used Rock Throw. He evolved the Slowpoke on his Bench into Slowbro(again). He used Headbutt again. I used Rock Throw and Knocked Out Slowpoke. He unleashed Slowbro. Since Slowbro isn't the most powerful Stage 1(as we all know) I thought I could still win. He used Psyshock but didn't paralyze me. He did remove my Fighting Energy, though. I attached a different Energy and retreated. Then I used Electabuzz(Base Set). I used Thunderpunch and got heads. He used Psyshock and din't paralyze me. I used Thunderpunch and got heads. Slowbro was finally beaten. He used Slowpoke. He attacked with Headbutt once more. I used Thunderpunch with PlusPower and won because I got heads and he was without a Bench.
