Hey PoJo

I participated in a tournament at the Halifax County Library in Virginia on February 3.

it was best of three, winner taking home three first edition basic boosters (I organized the

event by renting a room in the library). There was a $5.00 entry fee to pay for the prizes.

I was going to use my mono-fire but then I found out my friends where going to play raindance so I played my Electrical Wigglymaker.13 people showed up. Enough chatting, on with the deck and report.

Gym 2 Zapdos 70 HP

{L}Plasma 20

Effect: choose 1 L energy card in your discard pile and

attach it to Zapdos.

{LLLC} This attack does 10 more damage and 10 damage

after each additional L energy card attached to Zapdos.

-CC retreat

resistance: fighting -30

Nightime Garbage Collection

take three energy cards, basic pokemon cards, evolutions, or

trainers and put them in your hand. {show them to your opponent}

Game 1: in my starting hand I got Jigglypuff, 2xElectric Energy,Double Colorless, Gust of Wind, and 2xPluspower. He sent out Pinsir with a Bulbasaur on the bench. I win the toss

and see the Bulbasaur so I know its energy trans. Draw a Scyther, place him, Gust of wind

the Bulbasaur and pound with two pluspowers to knock out Bulbasaur. He draws, no basics, energizes Pinsir with a Grass. Draw Bill and use it to get Professor Oak and Wigglytuff. Use Professor Oak and get Scyther, Jigglypuff, Nightime Garbage Collection, and assorted energies. Use Nightime Garbage Collection to get back two pluspowers, evolve into Wigglytuff, use both pluspowers and knock out Pinsir. Game.

Game 2: much harder. I draw Gym 2 Zapdos, 3x Electric energies, Bill, Jigglypuff and Scyther. Start with Scyther with Gym 2 Zapdos and Jigglypuff on the bench. He sends

out Scyther with two weedles on the bench.I draw go first again and retreat scyther and send out Gym 2 Zapdos. I attach an electric and Plasma. He attaches a grass and Sword

Dances. I attach Double Colorless to Jigglypuff and Plasma. He attaches a Double Colorless and Slashes for 60. I draw a Pluspower (phew) and Plasma with it to kill Scyther.

He then sends out a Weedle and attaches a grass and uses poison sting to knock out Zapdos. I send out Jigglypuff and Pound. He poison stings without poison. I draw electric and pound to kill weedle. He sends out the other weedle. two turns later the weedle faints.

no one was finished so I walked accross to Winn Dixie and bought a Cola. After I was finished, Ben had been beat by Richard, so I played him to advance to the semi finals.

Game 1: he mulliganed once so I drew nine which were Jigglypuff,Wigglytuff, 3xPluspowers, Gym 2 Zapdos, 2xDouble Colorless, and a Bill. Perfect! He sent out

Charmander with Squirtle on the bench. I sent out Scyther with Jigglypuff and Zapdos on the bench. He draws a rocket Porygon but doesn't place it. I win the flip(again!) and retreat Scyther and send out Jigglypuff. Attach a double colorless to it and pound with three pluspowers to kill it. he sends out Squirtle, but still doesn't place the Porygon. I retreat

Jigglypuff and send out the Zapdos and attach the electric I drew to knock it out. He realizes that he should have placed the Porygon. I say to keep on battling with the Porygon but he refuses and forfeits. (I felt so bad about killing his pokes so quickly.)

Game 1: he sends out Blaine's Moltres with Blaine's Vulpix on the bench. I get 3x Gym 2 Zapdos and 4x electric. I go first (as usual) and attach electric and Plasma. He attaches

fire to Vulpix. I attach electric to Zapdos and Plasma. He attaches fire to Vulpix and evolves it to Blaine's Ninetales. I draw Bill and use it to get two more electric. I attach

Ninetales and uses Offensive Heat, discarding all energies. I attach electric and Plasma. He uses Fire Recovery and takes off a damage counter. I attach an electric and Electroburn for the Win.

I won 4 first edition basic boosters and 3 team rocket boosters. I pulled a first edition

Nidoking(!), Electabuzz, Alakazam(!!), and a Blastoise(!!!). In the Team Rocket boosters

I pulled Evil Slowbro and Evil Alakazam. I gave a team rocket booster to Richard and he got Team Rocket's Big Sister.
