This was my first touney and sorry if I sent this in sort
of late cause it was in 12-19-99 and because of the holidays, I was busy.
Here's the tourney report........
1. Kendrick (me) vs. Fire/Colorless (used half
and half)
I started out with a Magmar and smokescreen to stall his
Growlithe. He hits me with 40 on Magmar before I can retreat and bring
out my Lickitunge and stall a little bit more to get better cards. I
finally get out my Dodrio and retreat Lickitunge (Growlithe dead by now) then
bring out my hitmonchan (fully pumped) and Special Punch Dragonair to
death!!!! It's down to 3 and 2 (I got 2 and he has 3). I Gust out Dratini
and and Special Punch it and it dies. Then he brings up a Farfetch'd and
passes. I SP and do 10 damage. He leeks slaps me and does nothing. I retreated
and brought out my Magmar and Smog and got HEADS and next turn he forgets to
retreat and dies from POISON.
Record: 1 win 0 losses
2. Me vs. Moltres Stall Alakasam Deck
I played this guy before the tourney and loss. He started
out with a Abra, a Kangaskhan, and a Chansey. I start out with a Hitmonchan
and a few trainers and the rest energy. His active is Chansey so that gives me
a chance of not dying early. I win the flip and Jab for 40. He evolves Abra to
Kadabra and Passes. I play a Fighting energy and Jab. He charges up his
Moltres and Plays switch and brings out a 3 fire energy Moltres and Passes. I
get a Mr. Mime (yes!) and since I couldn't deal a lot to Moltres with
Hitmonchan I retreated for the Mime and slapped down a Psychic Energy and pass
(as you can see there is a lot of passing in this game). He evolves Kadabra to
you know who and Damage Swaps and then scoops up Kangaskhan (grrr.....) and
then Wildfires me. He discards a fighting energy, a energy removal, a
kangaskhan, and a fire energy.
Not bad. Then this routine continues until i get my gusts
to gust out his damage filled benched pokemon and kill them. The prizes were 1
and me 3 and it doesn't look good for me. He brings out a fully pumped Moltres
and Dive Bombs. HEADS and that's it, I lose.
1 win 1 loss
3. Me vs. Raindance
I get a Hitmonchan and a Doduo. He gets a Lapras and a
Squirtle. I go first and jab his Squirtle. He evolves and plays a water
energy. I play a fighting energy and jab once more. Then he attaches another
energy and evolves to BLASTOISE and raindances. He hits me with 50 and then
after that I play a Mr. Mime that I got from the draw and stall. He gets
pissed off and retreats to the lapras. and water guns me for 20. I retreat and
bring out my Hitmonchan and Jab with 20 HP left. He water guns and kills my
Hitmonchan. I bring up Doduo and then play a Dodrio and atack with Rage. He
water guns me again and once again I use rage for the kill. Then the mme did
the rest and killed Articuno and Blastoise and Gyarados and a Vaporeon and
another one I forgot for the win. Pretty much Mr. Mime conquared the game.
2 wins 1 loss
4. Me vs. Grass/Fire
I start out with really crappy basics Mr. Mime, Clefairy,
and a Doduo. I start off with Doduo. He starts with Scyther. He wins the flip
and retreats for a Charmander and Scratches me. I retreat and bring out
Mr. Mime to stall 3 turns. I get a energy retrieval and use it to get a fire
and a fighting. By now I had already gotten a Dodrio out with only 10 HP left.
I looked at his bench and saw that all his pokemon needed at least 2 energies
to attack and didn't use the Computer Search which I should have used to get
another basic cause Dodrio was the last one left. So I didn't use it cause I
thought I was safe then he plays a Charmander and I gasp as he retreats his
scyther and scratches me for the game. (Sigh) That was a very short game
approximately 6 minutes!!!!! Man I should of Computer Searched!!!!!!!
2 Wins 2 loss
5. Me vs. Bad Psychic Deck
He gets a really BAD hand and I mean bad!!! He starts off
witha Drowzee and a Slowpoke. LOL! I start off with Hitmonchan and a Magmar. I
hab the drowzee and then he Pounds me then I play another fighting energy and
jab and he's down to 10 HP. He plays another Psychic energy and hopes to
Confuse Ray me but NOPE!!!! He got tails! and I jabbed away the Drowzee. He
manages to get out a gastly and then to GENGAR! Weird! Forgot how he did
that!?!?!?!?!?! Oh well. He curses me then I bring out my magmar and Smog him
and Heads! I get to poison and no more power so he charges him up and passes.
I smog again and he's dead. GAME!!! Fastest game = 5 minutes? = )
3 wins and 2 loss
6. Me vs. All colorless deck
Since this was swiss style I needed this win just to
compete for third and I have seen the other people cards with more wins than
what I have so I figured it out that this game was for 3rd by a good chance.
He starts out with a Pidgey and my Magmar takes care of
that by smokescreen then smog. Then he brings up his Farfetch'd and leeks slap
me to kill Magmar. I had to bring up my hitmonchan=-( as you can see the
crying face that this isn't good and as soon as I draw my card everything
turns around. It was a Doduo and I had a Dodrio in my hand. I played Doduo and
and then SP for 10. He plays a energy and Pot Smashes me. I retreat my
hitmonchan (thanks Dodrio for retreat aid) and bring out dodrio and play a
fire energy and pass once again. He Pot Smashes me and I play a Double
Colorless Energy and Rage for the kill and the win but.........(prepare
for a shocker!!!) I forgot to put down my prizes and LOST!!!!!! AHHH!!!!!!!
grrr........ I complained about the tourney organizer that he didn't tell me
the rules before the tourney but he said that was TOUGH and that was FINAL!!!!
SInce it woldn't have benefited him, I tried to talk him out of it so both of
us wouldn't have loss our $5 but he said he'd only give me the win if I gave
him a holo but I said no and he finally agreed on having half of
what i win but it was too late for that so I was out!!!!
3 wins 3 losses
The people who made it to the finals was a kid with Electabuzzes
and Promo Mewtwos and The guy with Fire/Fighting made it to the finals to win
$30 store credit and 2 nd $15 store credit and 3rd 2 fossil boosters.
I am coming back next month with a all new deck especially
for the guy with promo Mewtwos and hopefully win at least 3rd!!!!! I am
expecting Steven there too (A.K.A. on Gooey = DraGON804) and you'd better be
there this time instead of missing the this one!!!!! I bought a fossil
booster and got a non-holo Ditto and traded it for a Aerodactyle and also
traded a 1st ed. non-holo Moltres for 2 - 1st ed. non-holo cards which were a
Ditto and another aerodactyle (both were 1st edition). I also traded a
Non-holo Vaporeon for a Electabuzz (boy! I regret that since now they stop
printing those).
