I am not sure of the other players Deck Names or There names so I'll just say the rounds.

Round 1

This was a pretty easy round. I started off with a full bench BUT NO ENERGY'S! But the opponent had only and oddish and I had a charmander! I went first. I drew an psychic energy I attached it to Charmander and used scratch. Oddish took 20 damage ( since it was weak against fire). It was the opponent's turn. The opponent (who was a she) attached a Grass energy to oddish and used Stun Spore luckily I wasn't paralyzed. My turn Drew an item card used scratch 20 more damage. Opponents turn. She drew a card. Then came Poison Powder. 10 damage to me dew to poison. I drew a card and ended the match with scratch!

Round 2

The was a down side to winning this match. MY SISTER WAS MY OPPONENT! She was usually hard but she had gotten better. No worry though. Since this was about a day ago I forgot what exactly happened. But here's the run down. My sis was beating me she had 2 prizes out of 6 I had 1 out of 6! my last hope was to use Chanseys double edge we would both have our pokemon faint but she had no benched pokemon! So I used it and I won!

Round 3 semi-finals

I lost in this round. Here's what happened. I started off with a full bench. My opponent had only Ditto! I went first my starting pokemon. I started off with sing. This was a LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG round so here's what happened. My opponent got Lt.Surges Electabuzz I could of won if I used energy removal on Ditto's double colorless energy. But instead I used it on a electric energy on Electabuzz that's how I lost it. Ditto knocked out Jigglypuff. But I'm getting to involved. Here's how I lost besides with the energy removal he kept using Professor Oaks Nightly Garbage Runs and Computer search. Then he sent out the dreaded ROCKET'S MEWTWO! That was it I thought I would win Cause he kept using up the cards in his deck. but he defeated me.

Results

I tied in third place! Not so bad huh? I got 7 good promo cards and Prerelease and a badge! So it came out good after all. I'll report what happens at the Super Trainer Showdown I'll hopefully battle with the same guy!
