Ok. The tourney was a best 2 out of 3 match. You were matched with a random
opponent and fought until someone won 2 battles.

Here's what happened.

Round 1: Me (with Big Red Machine) VS Guy with Dark Muk deck

My first opponent was actually my hardest fight. The whole fight took about
an hour (!)  He mulliganed (sp?) 3 times in a row. This gave me a few fire
energys, a Magmar, a Charmander and a Growlithe along with a couple trainers.
  He eventually gets out a Scyther and a Ditto.
It would turn out that Ditto and Magmar would come to a gridlock. Smokescreen
VS Smokescreen.  Not only this, but he RSA'd me 3 times along with 3 Rocket's
Trap (all the Traps failed though).  He did eventually get out his Muk. He
ko'ed my 2nd Magmar and SER'd my Arcanine, getting rid of my double
colorless. Long battle short, it came down to Ditto VS Magmar again. He
eventually decked himself.

Battle two, he got a Muk out and Ko'ed Magmar and Growlithe hastily.

Battle 3 was more of round one, except I was able to do serious damage to his
Ditto before he could KO my Kanga.

:Second Round: Me VS Kid with Assasin deck
This guy was at a disadvantage due to having alot of Grass Pokemon. I was
able to get out Rocket Charmander to Ko his Scythers and his Koga's Beedrill.
A fast win. The second battle was almost a repeat of the first, but not as
fast as he was able to get 3 prizes with the Beedrill and his Chansey still
an easy win.

:Final Round: Me VS Kid with Haymaker

This guy only got out Scythers and Electabuzz the whole time. He did get a
few Ko'. But Arcanine and Licktung were too much for him. It was a fast two
battles

I went 3-0 on the day. Not bad considering I fought a grass deck

Props go to:
Comic Chest for being a really kool shop and holding the Tourneys.
All of my opponents for putting up a good fight

Slops: None. It was a great day!.
