Deck used:Lt. Surge's Electrifiying Slash Deck
This was the Gym Heros Pre-Release Tourney that I
had been waiting for since two weeks before it started. Right before it
started at 11:00 , the gym leader handed out two unlimited booster packs to
upgrade our decks with(optional). Out of my two packs I got a holo Rocket's
Moltres(holo) and a Lt. Surge Electabuzz(non-foil). Then I traded a rocket
dark vileplume for another non-foil Lt. Surge Electabuzz to upgrade my deck,
which were very helpful as my active pokemon because I could use electric
current to trade an energy from him to another pokemon on my bench. If I
didn't have any more energys I would use charge to attach to electric energys
from my discard pile to Lt. Surge Electabuzz and then keep using
electric current. And I also only lost once.

Tourney Results
Match #1- Me versus a girl with a water,dragon deck
Overall, this was the easiest deck there. I
started out with 2 base electabuzz and a ditto. She had only 2 krabbys. We
flipped a coin, I went first. I attached a lightning energy onto electabuzz
and used thundershock, but the parilis failed. She put a water energy on
krabby and used call for family. I drew a card and put a lightning energy on
buzz and knocked krabby out with thunderpunch. Since she had no more krabby in
her deck I thunderpunched her into submission.

Match #2- Me versus a kid with a psycic,water deck
I started out with two dittos and a scyther. I got
to go first again. I went with ditto and he sent out brocks lickitung and
a slopoke. I put a D.C.E. on ditto and used tounge slam. He put a W.E. on
Brock's lickitung and was done. Neither of us got any more energys for a while
until I got a D.C.E. on scyther.until then I k.o.'d his Brock's lickitung with
three more tounge slams. Next I got a L.E. on scyther, retreated ditto, and
slashed slopoke 2 times for the win.

Match #3 Me versus a girl with a psycic, electric
deck
This was another easy victory fo me. I only got an
buzz and Lt. Surges buzz. Like usual I went first. She had a fossil and 2 base
gastlys. I put a L.E. on buzz and parylized gastly with a thundershock. The
only thing she could do was put a psycic energy on her active. Next turn I
drew another energy and thunderpunched gastly with a heads for the knockout.
But then she forfeited.Shessh, what a sore loser.

deck
This kid was kind of easy. I got a ditto, buzz,
and scyther. This time I went second and started with dito and he had a
bulbasaur and erika's exeggcute. I got out a D.C.E. and used leech seed.he was
helpless on his turn so i killed him with another leech seed. when exeggcute
came out i retreated ditto sent out buzz and then shocked and punched him to
death.I'm on a winning streak.

Match #5 Me versus a kid with a rain dance deck
Since my deck had six electabuzz in it(4 base, 2
gym) he had no chance. I got a base buzz and a ditto. I chose buzz. We flipped
a coin and he went first. He had only got to play a squirtle and put a W.E. on
him and used bubble. But no parilis. I got a L.E. on buzz and used
thundershock.Coin flipped tails. He got a breeder and put down a blaistoise
and 3 W.E. on him and used hydro pump. I put one more L.E. on buzz. I had to
make a sacrifice of thunderpunch. Guess what, it was heads! thats five wins
for me.

Match # 6 Me versus a girl with a haymaker deck
This time I only started with a ditto and eevee.
We flipped and I went first this time. I used ditto and she use hitmonchan and
a benched scyther. I put a D.C.E. on ditto and used jab. Then hitmonchan
jabed me back so we both had 50 damage left. Then I evolved eevee onto
dark jolteon, put a L.E. on ditto, attached a pluspower and used special punch
for the knockout.He couldn't do anything because he didn't have anymore
energys. So I just used slash for the next three turns for the knock out and
the win.

Match # 7 Me versus a kid with a colorless deck
This was another easy win since they were all
flying types.I got out two bases buzz and he got a doduo and the 30 hp gym
spearow.We flipped but it was tails(I always chose heads.) he used doduo and
attached a fire energy and used fury attack and got two heads. I put a
lightning energy on electabuzz and used thundershock and parylized it.
Next turn I used thunderpunch for the knock out.his spearow was knocked out by
another thunderpunch. Well, the tournament was almost over. I still had time
for one last match.

Final Match Me versus a freind with a kinda
upgraded haymaker deck
This was the hardest match of all. I started with
a ditto,base buzz and gym buzz. I started with ditto and he started wih a
gym hitmonchan. We flipped a coin and I got to go first. Ditto transformed
into the gym hitmonchan and I attached a D.C.E. to it. Then he attached a F.E.
to hitmonchan, used a secret mission, placed a fossil gastly and base
hitmonchan on the bench then his turn was over. I knew his hitmonchan would
use cross counter if I didn't use my pluspower, so I put a L.E. on ditto and
used magnum punch for a prize. He sent out hitmonchan, used sleep and was
succcessful. so he put a F.E. on him and used a pluspowered jab for the kill.
I sent out electabuzz andput a L.E. on him and kept using thundershock and
parlized him 7 times in a row. Talk about luck. He sent out a gastly, put down
a base set buzz. But he licked me into submission but I put two energys on my
gym buzz too. just more dumb luck. I sent out my other buzz out and picked up
a ditto, retreated buzz and put a L. E. on ditto and guess what I got all
heads on five licks. I guess this game is all about luck. The rules say if he
drew a basic card he could still fight. he drew an base buzz, attached a L.E.
and parilyzed me with thundershock. Next turn he attached another energy to
him and used two pluspowers and got a heads on thunderpunch for the knock out.
I knew I couldn't beat him because I had no energys on my gym buzz. So I gave
up. Oh well at least I got in forth place.
