Hi everyone,
im back with another pretty neat report(Well, maybe cause I hope the last
one was posted since I forgot to write my Email.). I went to my league as
usual and used my good old Sponge. I also tried out a Gloomy Day but did not
like it and decided to stick with the Sponge. Here it is:

French Canadian Sponge

Pokemon (11)
4-MP Mewtwo
3-Electabuzz
2-Scyther
2-Ditto

Trainers (26)
4-Bill
3-Professor Oak
2-CPU Search
1-Item Finder
3-Gust of wind
1-Lass
3-ER
2-SER
4-Pluspower
2-Switch
1-Scoop up
2-Nightly Garbage Run

Energy (21)
10 Psy
7 Electric
4 DCE

21+28+11=60

Not a single modification from the last one cause I think its perfect that
way. Lets go on with the report.

When I entered the store, I was decieved cause there were supposed to have a
tourney this week-end and it got 2 weeks delayed. Anyway, I say a teen who
was playing against an young kid who had a Haymaker. Then his friend
challenged me to a match

French Canadian Sponge VS Fossil Haunter and Venomoth deck

Round 1
I did not understand a thing about his deck until I was in mid game.
He was using Base and Sabrinas Venomoth line to inflic status effect and
Fossil Haunter to use as a wall. He got a Venomoth early, but I Lass him
wich completly destroyed his hand. He kept paralysing, confusing, poisoning
and putting to sleep my Pokemons, but i managed to win by retreating and
using Switch everytime my Pokemons were in critical shape.

Round 2
He wanted a rematch cause he said tha if I hadn't Lass him last round, he
would of a win. Anyway, it was about the the same thing as round 1 except
when I sent out a Ditto against his Haunter and trust me, it was a looooong
match. So long that after a while of flipping heads for the transparacy
pokemon power and a couple of Nightmares, he decided to quit. Too bad since
on my opinion, he would of won.

Between Matches
I bought a gym challenge pack for one of my friends and it had a Kogas
Pidgeotto in it. I feel sorry for him because he always has rotten luck when
opening packs. Just to show you, when we both bought Gym heroes pack once,
in the rares, he got a Brocks Onyx while I got a holo Team Rockets Trap. I
also argued with a kid because of Blaines Quiz cause he and most of the
players there thinks that it returns to your hand once its used. I also
tried a Gloomy day deck (you know, the one were you confuse the opponent
with Jungle Gloom).I wont go into details but even though I won 2 straight
victories with it, it did not match with my style of play so I switched back
to my Sponge. After a while, a kid challenged me.

French Canadian Sponge VS Giovanny's Nidoran Male and Female deck

This game was just too easy. I kept slaughtering his Nidorans with only one
promo Mewtwo wich he managed to K.O after a while. He then sent a Erikas
Clefairy against my Ditto who sent him to the discard pile with  two Moon
Kicks and the help of a DCE and a Pluspower. His last Pokemon was a Chansey
wich i also sent to the discard pile by Oaking for another DCE and Double
Edging two times.

During the match
My little brother was playing against a little kid with a fighthing deck. He
was using a improvised fire deck with Blaines Charmander (the one with
Kindle) in it and you'd be suprised how this little guy can hold against a
Hitmonchan with the help of a couple of potions. but unfortunately, he lost.

After that, we had to leave cause my dad came to pick me up. Too bad cause
all I needed to get my Promo Evee was 30 more points. It was a really cool
day cause I havent lost a match and that stroke fear in everyone at the
league. If I participate in a tourney, I should probably play another deck
cause they almost all know my deck and they will probably try to counter it.

Now its time for Props and Slops
Props for my dad for driving me to the league
Props for me for not loosing a single match
Slops for my friends Booster
Slops for all the kids that thinks that Blaines Quiz returns to your hand
Slops to the store for not helding any tourney

And this time, I will write my Email adress so if you wanna get in touch
