_______________________________________________

Stategy:
Although this may not be the original haymaker, i still like it and i play
it at Pokemon Leauge, at friend's houses and at tournements.  It's won every
match almost.  So it's total record is probably like 20-5.  Enough
Jabbering, my deck's strategy is to attack fast and K.O. pokemon as quickly
as possible before they can evolve.  If they have High HP then that's when
Aerodactyl comes in (pokemon power).  I try to keep him on the bench though
just for the pokemon power.  I use Scyther, Hitmonchan, and Hitmonlee as the
"Big Hitters" of my deck.  They hit really hard and energy need as that bad.
  Retreat cost are also low.
When I'm in big need of it, I use this plan called, my hit and retreat. 
When my oppenet is starting to pull away with the lead, i hit as hard as i
can, then retreat, and hit hard again trying to keep damage as low as
possible without my oppenent getting more prizes, if all else fails, then i
send out my Scythers to hit with 60 or 30, retreat for free, and send out
another and keep doing this.
ENOUGH OF ME YAPPING! TIME FOR THE REPORT!!!

Round 1:
Me Vs. Angel with Mono fire deck (Charizard, Ninetales)
*DING DING*
We draw our cards, I get Scyther, Hitmonchan, Energy removal, Potion, 2
energys.  I set down Hitmonchan.  He wins the toss and sends out a vulpix. 
He draws, and sets a charmander and a Ponyta down.  I set down Scyther on my
bench and send out Hitmonchan(did this at the begenning of the game). I draw
and get another energy.  I attach a Energy and I Jab.  He draws his card,
and puts an energy onto charmander and evolves him into Charmeleon and
passes.  I draw my card a Mysterious Fossil.  I energy removal his fire
enrgy on his charmandeleon, attach another energy to my hitmonchan and i
jab.  He attaches another energy onto charmeleon and passes.  I draw my
card, a aerodactyl.  I elvolve the fossil and now he can't have charizard. 
I attach an energy onto Hitmonchan and i jab vulpix for the kill.  He draws
his card and whines becuase it's a charizard and he shows me his hand which
consists of nothing but energys and 1 charizard. He attaches one and passes.
  My turn, I draw a D.C.E and i attach another energy to Hitmonchan i
special punch him.  He draws his card, which is a potion and he uses it, and
he attaches an energy and slashes me.  I draw my card and i attach an energy
to aerodactyl.  and i special punch him.  He draws his card and flame
throwers me and kills hitmochan.  I draw my card, and i attch a D.C.E to
Aerodactyl and i Wing attack.  He puts out his Ponyta and attaches a fire
energy and passes.  I draw my card, a energy removal.  I use it and i wing
attack him.  He draws his card which is another vulpix and puts it on his
bench. and attaches a fire energy vulpix and passes.  I draw my card, and i
wing attack him for the kill.  He attaches another energy to vulpix and
sends him out there and confuses me.  I flip a coin and it's a heads! I wing
attack him.  He potions, and uses confuse ray.  My turn, i draw a card, and
i take a gamble, and attach a plupower.  I wing attck looking for the kill
but the coin turns out to be TAILS! AHHHHHH!!!!  He confuses me again and
passes.  I draw my card, a potion, i use it and then i wing attack.  I flip
the coin, and it's HEADS!!! YIPPE!  i kill his only basic and i beat him. 
After words, he showed me his deck and his was pretty good.  I'm sure it
would've been alot closer if not for my Aerodactyl's pokemon power.

Round 3:
Me Vs. Chris with a Colorless deck(Dodrio, Ditto, Scyther,Wigglytuff)
I knew this game was mine because a majority of his pokemon had weakness. 
We draw our cards, i Get a Hitmonlee, a Potion, and the rest energys.  I"m
frowning becuase he wins the toss, and i put out my only basic :-(.  He puts
a jigglypuff as his active and a dratini and a farfetch'd on his bench.  He
attaches an energy and puts me to sleep.  I draw my card, a Mysterious
fossil, i bench it, attach an energy to hitmonlee, flip a coin, and it's
tails.  He draws his card, and attaches another energy to him and pounds me.
  I draw my card, a Scyther, I bench him, and i attach another energy to
Hitmonlee,  Potion, and then i flip.  It's tails still.  He draws his card,
attaches another energy, benches a Pidgey and evolves jiggly into wiggly and
does the wave.  I'm down to ten,  I draw my card, a potion! i use it, and i
attach an energy to hitmonlee hoping to flip a heads.  I flip the coin and
guess what?!...it's a heads! i'm jumping up and down and i happily use Hi
Jump Kick for the kill.  He frowns, and sends out his dratini and attaches
an energy to farfetch'd and passes.  i draw my card, a bill, i bill, and i
get an energy and a potion.  I potion and i hi jump kick for the kill.  He
attaches an energy to farfetche'd and leek slaps me!  I'm think hahahaha,
but when he flips heads, my mood swings.  I draw my card, a Oak, i use it
and i get Hitmonchan, Aerodactyl, Energy removal, and the rest energys! I
evolve the useless fossil into Aerodactyl and i attach an energy to him.  I
use energy removal and i hi jump kick for only 20 (restistance).  He draws
his card, attaches a D.C.E.  and uses potsmash and kills me!  I attach an
energy to aerodactyl and send him out and i pass.  He draws his card and
benches a ditto. and attaches an energy to ditto.  He potsmashes me.  I draw
my card, a switch, i attach an energy onto aero, and i wing attack him for
the kill.  His turn, he draws his card, and puts out his Scyther, and
attaches a D.C.E. onto him and he slashes me for a big fat 60 :-(  I draw my
card, a D.C.E! i'm so happy, i attach it and i slash him.  He uses slash on
me.  I draw my card, another scyther! i slash him back and attach an energy
to scyth.  He draws his card, and beches another pidgey.  I draw my card, a
bill, i bill, and i get a potion, and a pluspower.  I potion, and i slash
him for the kill.  He sends out a usless pidgey.  I attach another energy to
scyth(on the bench) and put a pluspower and i kill him.  He puts out ditto,
puts a D.C.E on him and slashes me. I send out my bench scyth  I put an
energy onto my scyth and i slash him back.  He slashes me, i slash him.  He
slashes me, and i slash him for the kill and also for the win!  We shake
hands afterwords and we trade, i get another hitmonchan but i have to part
with my holo wigglytuff, oh well.
3-0

eletric)
*DING DING*
Ok, on with the match, Jonathon is a good friend of mine and we live across
the street from each other and we play each other almost every weeked before
Tourneys to playtest, make corrections, and praactice.  We knew our decks
like the back of our hands.  I knew this was going to be a toughie.  He has
beaten me the same amount that i have beaten him...Who will prevail???
We draw our cards, and i send out a Hitmonchan, and bench a Scyther and
hitmonlee.  My hand isn't to good eaither with just trainers and pokemon.  I
call heads and i go first.  He sends out a Electabuzz and benches a squirtle
and articuno.  I use a bill and i get a switch and ER and i pass frustrated.
  He goes, Attaches a eletric energy and shocks me with no para (thank god!
lol).  I use my ER and i draw my card, and energy.  I grin, attach it and i
jab for 40 (weakness, thank god! lol).  He goes, and attaches a water energy
onto his squirtle and breeds into blastoise and then he grins.  I frown, as
he passes and i draw my card, a mysterious Fossil.  i bench it, and i jab
for the kill.  My prize is an oak. :-).  He draws his card, attaches an
energy and raindances another water energy onto him and he hydropumps me.  I

Semi-finals Round 1
*DING DING*

Cindy played a revised zap deck.  I knew this was going to be easy as long
as she kept out the eletric, but as soon as she put in the physic i knew i
had to watch out.
I send out a Ditto and bench a scyther.  She sends out a lone fossil gastly
and i go first.  I attach an energy and i use lick with para.  She goes and
attaches an energy and passes.  I draw my card and get a hitmonchan i bench
it.  I attach another energy to ditto(just in case she evolves) and i lick
again with some more para.  She goes attaches and energy and evolves into
fossil haunter and flips a coin (for pokemonpower) and gets heads.  She uses
nitmare and i'm asleep.  I draw my card, flip, and get heads, now i flip
again for pokemonpwer and get a heads and i attack.  She still has no basic,
and get's tails on both flips.  I draaw my card and attach an energy to
hitmonchan and i attack her with nitemare.  She goes and gets tails again!
but benches a electabuzz and attaches and energy to it.  I go, and i kill
her while attaching an energy onto hitmonchan..  She goes and brings out the
lone electabuzz attaches an energy and punches me flipping heads.  I go
attach an energy onto hitmonchan, retreat send out hitmonchan...SPECIAL
PUNCH...GAME! I win we shake heads for a good game well played and i advance
onto the finals.
1-0 in semi finals and 5-0 overall.
I walked over to the table wehere tommy and cynthia were playing and it was
a heck of a game but tommy pulled off the win with a 5-6 prize situation
with it down to a flip... I will be playing tommy in the finals for the
whole jackpot.

FINALS Round 2
*DING DING*
Intro:  In the Red corner we have the defending champion, BRYAN LE! in the
blue corner we have TOMMY something...!  The game will be 30 min. time limit
who ever has the most prizes then wins!  Good luck to you both, and let's
get it on!
Are you ready to Rumbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee????!!!!
GAME MATCH:
We draw our cards, and we embark on the longest game in our lives!  I draw
my card and it's hitmonchan Vs. Hitmonchan, then scyther vs. hitmonchan, the
scyther vs. scyther.  This game wasn't isn't even worth explaining.  We were
mocking each other in moves, laying energy for every energy the oppenent set
down, i did a move and he did the exact move.  We had almost the exact deck
only difference, instead of ditto he had farfetch'd...he didn't even get to
use the farfetch'd.  This was the most bizarre game of pokemon i've ever
played.  We start with hitmochan both of us jab after jab until he died (i
went first) then he sent out scyther and killed me, then i send out scyther
and i killed it then he sent out hitmonlee and so on and so on.  We had the
exact cards at the exact times only once did he put something different, it
was a areodactyl Vs. a pinsir, guess who won? (pinsir).  Anyways, we
exchanged blows and hits and kills until time was finally called and guess
what, i had 5 prizes and he had 4 about to be 5 with just 2 more jabs.  i
won by the time! i can't beleive it.  This game was the longest and i won. 
I earned this championship!
