Me Vs Charizard Water Deck.
Ok I go first he sends out Growlith and I send out ekans. Energy on Ekans
Bite. His turn. His turn energy on a charmander my turn. Ok he keeps on
sending out growliths and squirtle base set to stall while he pumps up his
charmander now that little char is a charizard with 3 energy on it! He sends
out his charizard and the prize count is me 3 him 5. oppents turn he has to
send out Charizard and puts a Snorlax on the bench. Right know it's Charizard
vs a dark arbok with no Damage counters on it. and anotherone fully pumped on
the bench. then the unthinkable happens he reteats charizard discarding all
of his charizards energy and sends out a Snorlax! So this happens for a
couple turns snorlax gets pumped up while Dark Arbok is poisin vaporing
however not poising because of Snorlaxs Power. It looks bad. Snorlax has 50 H
left and I have an Oak and a Dk Arbok Active and a 3 energy benched grimer I
play two plus powers on dark arbok Oak and get Muk evolve grimer and Get
Ekans and DK Arbok. prize count me 3 him 4. I Get a good hand there kill Dk
Snorlax wih poisin! OUt comes a Growlith and kills Dk Arbok out comes a
Syther. He almost kills Growlith but he reteats for charizard I KO him and Ko
Growlith. I win!

Me Vs poor girl
This is what tought me a lesson about Pokemon today. This girl wasn't a poor
penny needy girl her right hand was just a little way away from her elbow. It
as a problem hand that was so small she couldn't even move her fingers. they
where smaller then a babys fingers much smaller. She shuffled pretty good but
I could see her hand so I told her I wanted to have a clean battle and I
would play with my hand open for her to look at. She wasn't very old maybe 7
but she knew how to play. She played with a water deck much like a overgrowth
deck without the grass. She played wih the same cars I use to play with and
that really touched my heart that somebody wouldn't carre if people looked at
her hand and laughed at her she came to play Pokemon just like me you and
everybody else out there. Anyway I'm sorry this is such a long thing for one
battle but it really made me think about what Pokemon is really about. So on
with the battle. She started with a staryu vs my Scyther and she went first.
She slaped me for 20. I put a DCE on Scyther her turn. slaped me again for
20. I added a grass to scyther and a plus powewr to knock out staryu. She
then sent out another staryu only to be Ko quickly. If I see her again I will
ask to see her deck to make a copy of it.
