    ROUND 1: Vs. Dallas (I hope i got your name right bro, i only got 4 hours
sleep the night before and my brain wasn't working to well that day) He was
playing a Haymaker, thats was pretty good.

    Game 1:   This was a real long one, I played Hitmonchan to open, him,
Scyther.  I ERed him so he couldn't use slash and got magmar out, but he
retreated before i could kill, he put down ditto and i put clefairy down,
while he uses his own Magmar to stall my Magmar.  We exchange Smoke Screens,
Until i finally win the flip both times on Smog and poison him.  I evolve
into Clefable, and oak.  I run into nothing but trouble though, I get nothing
i need so i oak again, and end up way down on cards.  While he stalls with
his Ditto, building up his bench.  I run low on energy, and he Special
Punches Clefable, he does the same to my Clefairy, via Gust of Wind, I gust
in his Scyther plus power kill, and get down to 1 prize, but i run outta
cards to draw and he wins the first game.  So i need to win the next 2 for
the match.

    Game 2:  This was an easy one, i have on basic, Magmar, he has Scyther, i
have Oak in my hand, and plenty of energy removal, i knock out the Scyther
within about 3 Turns, due to Energy Removal from him, and having to Smoke
Screen all the attacks. we are now even, in the best 2 outta 3.

    Game 3: Pretty much the same thing, i believe he got 2 Scythers, but i
made short work of them with my Marmar.  I smoke Screened First turn, then
Plus Power Smoged.  And Smog, got his Other Scyther also.  Thats not the way
i like to win, but ill take it, for i am now.....
                                    (1-0)

    ROUND 2: against Kevin, (AKA Johnny no Skillz) He had a tough deck, it
used Raichus, Zapdos from Fossil, Hitmonchan, and Electabuzz, but seemed to
have enough trainers also, to get what he needed, this is how it wokred out
against him.

    Game 1:  This was pretty tough, i used Hitmonchan, him Buzz, i killed it
fairly quick with 2 jabs, but he brought out a Scyther, and staled a little,
i kept his energy low, and Scooped up for a Magmar with 2 energy, and played
a Clefairy.  I smoged the Scyther, and he ran into trouble, he used Zapdos as
his active.  I Gust of Wind for his Scyther KOed it.  He played an energy on
his zapdos.  I then Scoop magmar up, bring out clefairy evolve into Clefable
and take out the whoopin stick.  I metnomed Zapdoses attack, and got both of
his pokemon damaged.  I then GoW for his Raichu and Knock it out with
Hitmonchan.  He couldn't recover so i won the first game in this match.

    Game 2:  Not so lucky this time, I had energy problems, i he was able to
easily stall with Scyther, since i had Hitmonchan.  I oaked Several times,
but i couldn't get anything i needed.  I ended up with a bench with 3 Chans
on it, 1 Magmar and a Clefairy.  While he used his Electabuzz To deal damage.
I once against GoW for his Zapdos, and use Clefable to try to deal damage,
but it wasn't enough cause when i killed zapdos, Hitmonchan Special Punched
Clefable and knocked out my best damage source.  HE was able to Knock all my
pokemn out, and win the game, so the match is now 1 -1.

    Game 3:  Well, this was quick he got bad hand, i got a good one, used
Hitmonchan to kill electabuzz his only basic.  I knew he was gonna do well
though, cause he was a major challenge.                     (2-0)

    ROUND 3: against Will (He had a really good deck i helped him make.  It
used Wigglytuff but used many key cards to the deck that had made him and
myself the only people in the tourney who hadn't lost.  Well......one of us
has to lose.....

    Game 1:  Well, he opens with Grimer, i use Hitmonchan, Well....he stalls
by using minimize, and nast goo, and use this time to build up his bench,
while i am defense less till i draw a magamr and smog the the Grimer with
poison.  He uses Gambler and gets 8 cards outta it, and begins the wiggly
insanity, 5 Benched Pokemon and Wiggly active, crushes my Magmar, but i bring
out Chan.  I slap a fighting on him, and Jab, but next turn plus power kills
Chan and i end up in trouble.  He uses Wiggly to slowly knock the remander of
my pokemon and win.

    Game 2:  This was way better for me.  I went nuts on him.  HE didnt draw
a Scyther, so Hitmonchan was working great, i knocked out a few Jigglys and
Began the beating Process.  He does Draw Scyther However, but i use Clefable
to take car of him quickly, with the help of a gust of wind.  Thsi game
continues on this way, as i use Magmar to Smog the Grimers, and Chan for the
heavy daage.

    Game 3:  This was a long one, we exchanged early KOs He used Scyther, i
used Magmar to KO Scyther.  IT came down to this, i used Oak way to many
times, and as he used Grimme to stall pretty much the whole game, trying to
kill him with Poison, he used minimize, and i continue to draw cards, using
Oak, by the time i begin to get the uper hand, its to late, i needed to get
something good, but he used Minimize even more and stalled me outta cards, i
had Only 1 prize Left but i didnt have the item finder or a Gust of wind to
do anything about the game.                         (2-1)

    ROUND 4:  Derek playing a Fire Deck

    Game 1:  This is where my deck starts workin great.  HE was playing a
fairly strong fire deck, but he didnt get it in his first hand.  I only got
Clefairy, he only had Ponyta, i had Oak in my hand but i was saving it.  HE
played an energy, but i removed it.  I then played an energy on my guy.  HE
then played Double Colorless, and smash Kicked.  Then i used the oak, evolved
into Clefable, plus power Metrnomone and Won the game.

    Game 2:  Much longer game, he got a decent hand, i got 2 clefairys
instead of one this time. I had an oak and a Comp Search though so i was able
to get what i needed Quickly, he tried to stall with a magmar, but after
beefing up a hitmonchan i knocked it out.  He then Put Rapidash out, but i
kept its energy low, and and only allowed him to stomp 1 time.  At this point
"Dirty B" (Ben) said they were gonna be able to stall for ever, not true, i
used Hitmonchan Special Punch Plus power on his magmar to kill it and win.

                                    (3-1)

    ROUND 5:  Against Ben (AKA Dirty B)  He was playing the "Lightning Deck" 
Which was perfected by Will.  He used the standards for it, aerodactly,
Zapdos, and Buzz. with tons of trainers, so i knew this would be a challenge.

    Game 1:  This game was a Joke, he opened with Buzz, i with Magmar.  I
Scooped the Magmar and brought out Hitmonchan, and Jabbed.  He then stalled
for 2 turns with Zapdos before losing a flip in which i knocked out buzz.  I
then Retreated Chan, and brought out Clefairy to face the Zapdos, evolved
into Clefable, and smacked him for 100, winning the game.  That woulda been a
great hand against any other deck, except mine hehe.

    Game 2:  Much longer game then the fisrt, HE opened with Buzz, i had 1 of
each of my pokemon, with Chan Active.  I once again jabbed, but he used
Tshock to stall me, and then played Aerodactyl, be not before i got out a
clefable.  I eventually knocked out the Buzz. and and he brought out the
Aerodactyl.  I GoW for the Zapdos and Metronome it, for 100 damage.  HE then
plays the 3rd energy on Aerdactyl, and KOs Clefable, and then hits stall
mode.  It took me awhile to get what i needed but when the aerdactyl went
down.  I oaked a few times, and worked my way through the deck and began to
attack.  He claimed he was gonna stall, but lost a coin flip on the buzz, and
then got out my Hitmonchan to knock it out, with Special Punch and draw my
last prize.
                                    (4-1)

    Well So far the tourny has gone pretty well, And they get the final 4
together.  I Play Kevin, who went 3-2 losing only to me and Will, Will Played
Derek, and WIll was 5-0 at this point, I think Derek had tie breakers over
everyone, so he made it only going 2-3, maybe he was 3-2, i cant remember.  I
wanted least to play Kevin, but i didnt have a choice.

    SEMI FINALS:  Against Kevin (AKA Johnny No Skillz)

    Game 1:  What a great hand. I only had 1 energy, and one basic, but i had
Oak Comp Search, everything i needed.  HE used Scyther, i Smoke Screened it,
and he was off to a weak start.  HE didnt retreat so i plus power killed.  I
then next turn Oaked, and start the insanity.  I played Clefaity, next turn
Clefable.  HE tried to stall using Ditto, but i busted out Hitmonchan, to
Special Punch KO it.  Then Chan was able to waste everything else he had,
Pikachus. and Buzzed, and got me all my prizes.  Game 1 is mine!


    Game 2:  Well, once again, perfect hand, except this time i had a scoop
up and another basic.  HE attacked First so i scooped, my Magmar and put out
chan, and jabbed his Buzz fer 40.  i then KOed it, HE went for for Ditto, i
got 40 damage on it before i got KOed.  I put out Magmar.  I then Oaked, and
played Clefairy, i retreated Magmar and Ditto turned into Clefairy and KOed. 
HE went for Scyther.  I GoW in his Zapdos, and Evolve into Clefable, and
quicky take care of him, i then put Magmar out, and Smoke Screen, and then
Smog, to KO scyther.  Hes now left with 2 Pikachus, with both get Jabbed by
Hitmonchan for the win!!!!!  So I now Advance ot the finals!

        Will won his Match, so we decided to spilt first and second place
prizes, so we ended up with 18 dollars SC each. i bought 5 basic packs, and
got an Elecatbuzz, Imposter Oak, Pokemon Trader, Chansey, and a Ninetales,
not bad for 5 bucks, hehe.  All and all it was an awesome tournament, and now
i must give the PROPS and SLOPS for the tourny.

SLOPS!
    Slop - Ben (Dirty B)  Hes a total dork, and he was going on about how he
