I went the Pokemon League on Saturday. I did very good, having a 3-1 record.
There was about 20 people. If you read my last report, you'll see the deck
hasn't changed. The league allowed Japanese cards.
Scrumpdiddlyumptious v1.4
4 F. Gastly
3 F. Haunter
3 F.Gengar
3 MP Mewtwo
3 F. Ditto
2 J. Scyther
18 Psy Energy
4 DCE
4 Oak
3 Computer Search
3 Plus Power
4 Gust of Wind
4 Energy Removal
2 Mr.Fuji
The strategy is to build up multiple Gengar on my bench, using curse when i
need to, while hiting my opponents active with Mew2, Scyther, or Ditto,
depending what their active pokemon is. High numbers of Oak and Search
increase my chance of getting one in  my opening hand, so i can discard Psy
energy to be absorbed for a turn 2 Psyburn.

Game 1: Scrumpdiddlyumptious vs. Tall guy with horrid Wiggly deck
     This guy's deck had about 4 evo lines. he had so many pokemon in his
deck that the only trainers i saw him use were 4 Pokeballs.He had hardly any
energy either. This game lasted a lot longer than it should have. It stared
my Scyther to his TR Dratini. I put a Psy energy and passed, then he put a DC
on Dratini and wrapped with heads. I put another psy and passed, then he
evolved to Dark Dragonair and used Evolutionary light. He played a Challenge!
and I accepted. I got 2 Gastly, 2 Ditto, and a Mewtwo. He got 2 Jiggys, a Tr
abra, 2 more Dratini. he put a psy energy on his benched Abra and passed. I
put a psy enrgy on Scyther and slashed. He used 2 Pokeballs both heads and
evolved into Dk Kadabra on his bench and puy another enrgy on it . I used 3
ERs and slashed. I slashed all his remaining pokes until I had one prize.
then he promoted a Dark Dragonite and took out a Scyther and a Ditto. Then i
brought out another Ditto and used Giant Tail, getting heads. I win!
Record 1-0

After that match i got my 20 points for winning which brought me up to enough
to get a computer error.

Next game: Scrumpdiddlyumptious vs. Joey with mono- fire
     This guy used to be crappy, but he's a lot better at deckbuilding now.
He's still not even close to the being the best, though. I dont remember much
of this match, but it had something to do with my MP Mewtwo beating all his
pokemon.
Record: 2-0

Next game: Scrumpdiddlyumptious vs. Alec with Raindance
     Alec is one the best players at the league, and also one of my best
friends. We play at school whenever we have free time. I have beaten him in
our last 2 encounters. Not today.i got an extremely poopy starting hand and
never recovered. His Articuno beat me down in a few turns. Maybe I should add
Mr. Mime to this deck.
Record: 2-1

Last GAme of the day: Scrumpdiddlyumptious vs. some guy who wanted to lose.
     He left his bench empty and didnt attack. My gastly beat his Jynx in 4
turns.
Record: 3-1

And Now, Props and Slops:
