Double Trouble Vs. Anthony with Haymaker
*Ding Ding*
Uh-Oh! was what i first thought when I walked up to the table, Haymaker
Variant Vs. Haymaker Variant who would prevail?  I call tails and the coin
falls on heads, his turn first.  I draw my cards, and then set up my prizes.
  I get an ok hand of 1 Hitmonchan, And Ditto, Potion, Energy Removal, and 3
fighting energy.  I decide on sending out hitmonchan.  We flip our cards
face up.  It's scyther Vs. My hitmonchan.  I'm thinking yes, then realize
that he has resistance and i sink into my chair.  He goes first and draws
his card, he attaches a Grass, and then sword dances.  I draw my card, a
Double colorless and attach it to Ditto knowing i'm gonna sacrifice my
Hitmonchan.  I say go, he draws his card and attaches a Double colorless,
and i'm thinking, i'm gonna get slaughtered.  He Slashes me for 60 and i'm
down to 10HP.  I draw my card, a Moltres, I Bench my moltres and attach a
fighting energy to ditto and say go. He draws his card and benches a
Electabuzz.  He uses Slash and I"m dead.  I draw my card, a fire energy, i
send out ditto and i slash.  He draws his card and energy removals my D.C.E.
  I'M MAD!!!  He then slashes me and i'm down to 40HP.  I draw my card, a
D.C.E!!! How lucky is that!  I attach it and he whines, and i slash him.  He
draws his card and attaches a eletric energy to Electabuzz.  And slashes me.
  I draw my card, a HITMONCHAN! YES! i bench it and attach a fighting
energy.  I slash and kill his Scyther.  He draws his card, and attaches
another electric energy to electabuzz and send out the lone electabuzz, and
the he shocks me for the kill.  I draw my card, a fighting energy.  I send
out hitmonchan and Jab for 40.  HE draws his card and potions.  and Punches
me for 30 and gets tails.  I draw my card and i Jab and it's all over.

Record: 1-0

          Round 2:
Double Trouble Vs. ??? with a raindance
*DING DING*
I call tails and i go first.  I draw my cards and set up my prizes.  WOWIE!
i get an awesome hand of 2 Hitmonchans, 4 fighting energy, pluspower.  He
send out a lone magikarp and i send out who else? Hitmonchan.  I draw my
card, a Gust of wind.  I attach a fighting energy to hitmoncahn, pluspower
and jab for 30 knocking out his only basic pokemon.  I win by him not having
any basics on his bench.  After wards, it turns out his next card was a
squirtle, thena gyrados, then some water energys.  Boy was i lucky! :-)

Record: 2-0

          Round 3:
Double Trouble Vs. Mark with WIERD haymaker variant
*DING DING*
Poor little kid didn't have any rare cards, so his whole deck was magmars,
rattas, and machops.  And i'm wandering how on Earth could he make it this
far with this kind of deck?  Well i draw my cards, A moltres, a Schyter,
Mysterious Fossil, Grass, D.C.E., Gust Of wind, and a bill.  He goes first
and sends out a magmar(base set).  I send out Scyther and i'm thinking i'm
in for it now he attaches a fire energy and passes.  I draw my card, measly
fighting energy.  I attach a grass and i pass.  He passes.  Looks like he
has not energy.  I draw my card, a pluspower. i attach a D.C.E. and i sword
dances pushing luck.  He draws and still doesn't have a energy.  I slash for
the kill.  He sends out a lone ratatta and draws his card, he benches a
machop.  He attaches an energy to ratatta and bites me.  I slash for the
kill.  He sends out a lone Machop attaches and enrgy and he oaks.  He draws
his 7, and benches another machop, a magmar, and a ratatta.  He low kicks me
and i'm down to 30 HP. i sword dance and i draw my card, a hitmonchan i
bench him and attach an energy to him.  He lowkicks me again and i'm down to
10HP.  I Slash for the kill. he sends out another ratta and kills me with
bite.  I draw my card. a Hitmonlee, i send out hitmonchan and i bill, i get
2 fighting energys, i attach one to hitmonlee and i jab for the kill.  He
sends out another magmar.  He attaches a fire energy and passes.  I jab him.
  HE attaches another fire and flamethrower me.  I attach an energy to
hitmonlee and jab.  He flames me and i draw and attach another fighting
energy to hitmonlee.  Hitmonlee is all pumped up.  I jab for the kill.  He
sends out his last pokemon, a machop and attaches an energy and lowkicks me
for the kill.  I send out a hitmonlee and It's over, i high jump kick him,
and he get's a kick out of machops low kick and my high jump kick...get it?
anyways, i high jump kick him for the kill and i win by getting my prizes.
