Hey POJO and all who cared enough to read my report about a
month ago exactly on May 13 I entered a tournament with a free entry fee at
the St. Petersburg pier in Florida. Yah, I know it wasn't a comic store or
anything but, hey it was free and they had prizes! There were 32 participants
in this torney. It was single elimination. We started off the tournament in an
odd way. We selected our first round opponent!? So anyways heres my deck
report.
When I first got there I was suppose to make a trade or two battle once and
leave so we could go to the John F. Kennedy exibit at the International St.
Petersburg museum. I really didn't want to go so I asked to stay and they said
they would pick me up on the way back up from the museum! It started up
with the kids suppose to be trading but, most of us were doing practice rounds
in the practice rounds I went 4-1 but your not here for those matches so heres
my deck and then my deck report.

Matches
round 1 vs. some kid w/ grass deck
this kid came up and challenged me for round 1
looking for an easy win I smirked and snickered he didn't know what he was up
against(i've been playing since January 1999)The match started off Bulbasaur
vs. jungle Pikachu. I go first attach energy and pass he attaches an energy
and passes. I draw attach and spark no other basics on his bench. He
cusses because He didn't get an energy or basic I don't know but, he got
sparked and that was game. After the match he cusses some more now realizing
it's single elimination. He asked if I wanted to play again! Oh yeah like I'm
going to lose my second round spot.
round 2 vs. some man who goes to my Pokémon
league and is good who only his helping his daughter clear the competition so
she can in (her mom played also)
This guy must of put too many Charmanders in
his deck because his bench was 3 of them while mine was 2 good ol' Buzz's well
you know how this match went It took only one Buzz to finish off those weak
lizards.
After this match the gym leader told the
man adults weren't allowed to play in the tournament so the kid that was
watching this match was celebrating that he was back in the tourney.
round 3(actually it should be 2)vs. kid w/
modified brushfire deck that was bragging when the gym leader was going over
the rules he was gonna beat everyone.Well, you know how this match is gonna
go.
He started off with Nidoran male and I got Buzz
he won the flip but horn hazard failed. I use thunder shock he's paralyzed.So,
he attaches DBC energy and evolves I attach energy to Buzz and get
thunderpunch with heads. He uses potion attaches an energy and horn drills. I
attach an energy to Pikachu and thunder punch.He brings out Nidoran male to
stall while he powers up Tangalea which
he soon enough does which I do the same with Raichu so from here on the match
goes with everyone dying to thunder.
round 3 or 4 whatever you wanna call It!
against kid with grimer/muk poison deck.
I basically knocked them all out with
Electabuzz and Dragonite and thats because his only basics were 3 grimers.
round 4 or 5 once again it's your call against
kid with psychic-fighting deck?!(thats an odd combo)
This kid had to leave early into the match and
i could tell he was cheating because I faced him in the practice time and he
would draw extra cards while I was looking at my hand he thought I didn't see
him but, since I didn't want him to feel like an idiot I didn't say
anything.Anyways since he had to leave early and i beat him in the practice
round they declared me the winner.
