    Greetings Pojo-fanatics! I entered a tournament at Heroes once again. 80%
of the top-ranked people of North Carolina go here, so the tournaments are
unbelievably competative. I used a sponge-variant, called the Annihilator.
Here it is...

3 Electabuzz
3 Movie Mewtwo
2 Scyther
1 Mew
1 Ditto
3 Energy Retrieval
3 Comp. Search
4 Energy Removal
2 S. E. R
4 Bill
3 Oak
3 PlusPower
3 Scoop Up
3 Item Finder
3 Gust Of Wind
1 Mr. Fuji
1 Gambler
7 Lightning
7 Psy
3 DCE


ROUND 1! Vs. Brandon
He is a twin of another person that comes here. Brandon came in 2nd last
weel, so I was looking to stop him.
I started with Electabuzz and benched Mewtwo. He had Chansey, benched Magmar,
and benched Charmander. This match lasted a long while, but I became victor.
I killed his Chansey with Thunderpunches, then he sent out another. I GOW his
Charmander and kill it with a PP. He kills Electa, then I slash with Scyther,
he Smokescreens, I retreat and Psyburn again and again until I win.
1-0

ROUND 2! Vs. Travis
He is a brother of another person who comes here. They both do extremely
well, and I had to face one of em. He had a bad, I mean BAD start. He had
Bulbasaur, I had Electabuzz. He attaches energy. I Thundershock, no paralyze.
He attaches energy, Leech Seed. I need a great coin flip to win woth
Thunderpunch....HEADS! I win!
2-0

ROUND 3! Vs. Taylor
It's surprising to see him undefeated, he usually does pretty average. Turns
out to be a great match. He had Hitmonchans, Scythers, usual Haymaker
material. It lasted a long time, him having the edge against my Electa's due
to my weakness. He KO'd 2 of em, me KO'ing 2 of his Hitmons. We exchanged
prizes for a good long while, me ahead by 1, until he made a bat mistake. My
Scyther had 50 damage, his Hitmon 60. He moves Hitmon out, forgetting about
Scythers resistance. He jabs, doing no damage. He's upset that he forgot, I
slash and win.
3-0

ROUND 4! Vs. Justin
This is Travis' brother, and this is possibly one of my best games ever. We
fight, get a few prizes, me 3, him 4 left. We exchange blows, him fighting
with Wiggly, me with Scythers/Mewtwos. We remove ourselves so much, neither
of us had alot of energy to fight. We remove each other's last energy. He
goes, I go, he goes, I go. I have 4 cards left to draw, him 3. I feel a
decking coming on. I draw a GOW, and GOW his benched Clefairy w/ no energy.
He can't retreat, him drawing his last card. The match was epic!
4-0

ROUND 5! Vs. Tony
Here it is, the final game. It determines 1st or 2nd. He usually wins these
tourneys, and is a great all-around player. I flip over Electa, and Mewtwo. I
thunderpunch his Chansey's again and again. He has 10 left....Scoop Up and
sends out another. By then I used all 3 Oaks, and most Bills. He kept
stalling, then Scooping. I only managed to kill one of his Chanseys....if I
only knew this was a stall deck!!!!!Oh well, I still got 2nd place!
4-1

I had to leave a bit early, before the prizes were announced. The coordinator
said he would hold my prizes until next week since I had to go. I can't wait
to see what I get! The store gives away generous prizes!!!

Props and Slops!

Props to Scott Gerhardt for the great "Sponge" idea! You have introduced a
new generation of decks, my friend!
Props to my confidence in my playing
Props to Electabuzz.....I couldn't of done it w/out this card!
Props to Heroes for another great tourney

Slops to the little kids who won't take "No, I won't trade" for an answer!

that's all...fare thee well!
