This tournement was at my favorite little shop, Mayhem Collectibles.  I am a
regular there so when I walked in my friend asked me if i was there for the
tournament.  I said yes and a judge said "you any good?"  My friend said
don't worry about him, he's just Cannon fodder.

I'll show them Cannon fodder (evil smile)

Match 1:

Me vs. Colorless and fire

I got out Aerodactyl early so he was stuck with ponyta vs. magmar(base).  He
retreated and brought out Ditto, and flamethrowered.  I brought up fossil
magmar and smokescreened.  He couldn't attack!!  I drew a card.  (evil smile
and raises pinky finger to side of mouth like doctor Evil)  Mysterious
fossil, I got an Idea.  Play M.F.  Retreat Magmar, promote mysterious fossil,
Ditto goes down, discard M.F. and promote magmar again and smokescreen. 
Ponyta couldn't attack.  I draw a fire energy smog, he's poisoned and BANG! 
Win for me
WIN 1-0

Me vs. Haymaker

I somehow managed to slow this deck down and beat it in the end game,  of
course my powered up Aerodactyl handed Electabuzz his head on a silver
platter.  It was back and forth the whole match and I was almost scared that
was until I had one prize left and I took a chance, I OAKED with very few
cards left in my deck.  if any one of them were a plus power I could win, and
luckily for me, one of them were.  Smog for thirty and poisened and win.  My
opponent threw his hand  on the table and was pissed, he threw a little fit,
but when it was all over, I was declared the victor.
WIN 2-0

ME vs. Danny (with Movie Promo Mewtwo Scyther deck)

  This is exactly what I was waiting for.  Me and Danny have known each other
since we started up the game in base set.  We have had a little rivalry since
the beginning.  I knew he had scythers and all basics so I knew Aerodactyl
were useless so when I drew three mysterious fossils in my first hand I was
mad, but I decided to use it to my advantage since I didn't have the right
energy for my pokemon.  I went first and put magmar(fossil) down and the
three mysterious fossils down, he had scyther out.
I drew a card.  Thank god for me it was good ol' Prof.  Oak.  Oaked.  Drew
again, much better, plopped down Jynx, and a fire energy on magmar. 
Smokescreen for twenty.  He retreated and promoted Movie promo Mewtwo. 
Played a psychic energy and said go.  I drew.  played another fire energy adn
smogged, not poisoned.  he saw I was just gonna kill of mewtwo before it
powered up so he powered up scyther with a DCE and said go.  I just energy
removaled it and went smogging.  After he somehow powered a M.P. Mewtwo on
the bench, he scooped up the one up front and Promoted the other and
Psyburned.  I was sitting there thinking...screw!  I powered up jynx and
smogged.  He killed magmar.  I popped up my 10 hp wall.  I kept powering up
jynx and kept feeding him 10 hp walls, then I brought up Jynx and Meditated
for 80, by bye Mewtwo.  But somehow in the end his scoop up saved him.  I was
decked. 
LOSS 2-1

I had one more match before I found out if I made it into the semi finals or
not.  Here it is.

Me vs.  Charizard deck!!

Aerodactyl versus Charizard tough deal, but i didn't draw Aerodactyl for a
long time.  He got out Arcanine and ripped through my jynx's with Takedown,
but I saw it comin'.  I was powering up mew.  He had sixty damage on him from
takedown.  Go mew.  Devo beam, Bye bye growlithe!  He didn't get any more
evolutions cuz my prize was Aerodactyl!  He had snuck out Dragonair before
but Mew took care of him.  After that I worked stuff out.  Magmar smogged his
way around and I won. 

SEMIFINALS  winner goes to finals loser battles for 3 and 4

ME vs.  the Haymaker guy

Yep the same guy as before.  He got the upper hand early, and I lost, cuz' I
drew all the wrong Energy.  I hate that when that happens.  After that match,
he talked about how I was lucky earlier and boastin about how good his deck
is.  Later I found out it was a friend of mine(who was a judge by the way)'s
deck.  This guy was from Chicago and was in town and saw a pokemon tournement
and decided to join in.

For third or fourth

The other two in the Semifinals were Danny and a Water Removal.  I was
pulling for Danny to win so I could play the Water Removal deck, but
unfortunately Danny lost.

Me vs.  Danny (Again)

He drew all scythers and I drew magmars with fire energy and a couple of
energy.  I kept smogging, and he just retreated and promoted to keep himself
from dying as quick.  after I killed of two of the three he drew and
conceded.  I was surprised, this was actually a win against Danny.

Oh, by the way, One of the dudes I knocked out of the Tournement?  He
defeated Scott Gerhardt!  So I was pretty proud!!!  i know that doesn't
really mean Jack till i face Scott but since he lives in Texas and I live in
Iowa I'm pretty sure It'll be a while.  But Scott, If you read this I do wish
to play you a game or two!!

<ed. note: I have to read them - it's my job.  *grin*  Well, I got beat Twice in Ames, so I assume it was probably JJ Mellet.  Bret Larwick was the only other, but you mentioned beating a Charizard deck, and JJ ran one of those, so..  Not sure when I'll be back in Ames.  Never know with me - I could pop up anywhere. *smile*  -Scott>
