Hey PoJo. I played in a tournament in Cedar Grove, NJ on May 2, 2000.
It
was at a store called TIME WARP. They sell Pokemon Cards, Warhammer, and
other card games. There was about 35 kids at the tournament. My deck
has
been in many tournaments here, but the best I ever got was 2nd. I knew I
was
going to do better this time, because one of my cousins were sick. Anyway,
here is my deck...
POKEMON-15
4x Electabuzz (B)
4x Scyther (J)
4x Eevee (J)
3x Dark Jolteon (R)
TRAINERS-19
4x Energy Removal
3x Super Energy Removal
2x Bill
2x Computer Search
2x Gust of Wind
2x Pokedex
2x Potion
2x Professor Oak
Energy-26
20x Electric Energy
4x Double Colorless Energy
2x Full Heal Energy
ROUND #1
v.
Mono-Fire Deck
I had to be sure not to play many of my Scythers until they
were built up
with at least three energies. I started out with an Eevee and an
Electabuzz
on my bench, with a Dark Jolteon in my hand. As it turned out, he had a
mainly colorless deck, so I didn't have to worry about my Scythers. I
demolished him winning three of his prizes in the first ten minutes. Since
there was a 30 minute limit on all battles, and at the 25 minute mark, he had
2 prizes left, and I had only one. To make a long story short, he stalled
and we both got a tie. Anyway, if I win the rest, I can still make it into
the TOP 4.

ROUND #2
v.
My Cousin(Mono-Grass Deck)
I helped him a lot on this deck and it really is a great
deck. It has 4
Pinsers and 4 Scythers. I also helped him with his trainers. I
started with
2 Electabuzzes, 3 Electric Energy, a Bill, and an Energy Removal. He
started
with a Pinser. He seemed to look frustrated, so I tried to kill him
quickly.
I killed him in two turns, without him getting another basic, so I won.
After that, I helped him with his deck more and did some training.

ROUND #3
v.
Psychic/Grass Deck
I played this kid last week, and he had a really great deck.
He had
cards like Scythers, Movie Promo Mewtwos, and Mr. Mimes(Oh, how I hate that
Mr. Mime). As the game went on, I was worried about another tie, which
would
eliminate me from the tournament. But, then I glanced at his deck pile and
realized that he had about 5 cards left. Later, he was down to his last
turn
and his Mewtwo had 40 HP left. I had a perfectly healthy Electabuzz out
and
I used ThunderPunch. If I get heads he loses, if I get tails he loses,
because he can't draw next turn, so I wasn't very worried. Anyway, I got
tails and he couldn't draw, so I won. My cousin always teases me about how
unlucky I am on the coin flips.

ROUND #4
BYE
I went to the restaurant next door and got some pizza.
ROUND #5
Quater-Finals
v.
Same Mono-Fire Deck I played in 1st Round
This was the best game I've ever played. I started with
Scyther, and he
started with Kangaskahn. It felt like an eternity until I finally killed
his
Kangaskahn. He only used Kangaskahn for Fetch. He brought out
Charmander
And breeded it into Charizard. I couldn't believe my eyes. IT WAS A
1ST
EDITION CHARIZARD! He said he was collecting since there were 1st edition
Base Set Boosters. Anyway, now everyone seemed to be crowding around us.
He
killed four of my Pokemon with that Charizard. I didn't realize how good
Charizard was until this match. Anyway, I then killed a couple of Ponytas
and a Tauros. With each one prize left, I was getting nervous. He
kept a
straight face the whole game. Then my Dark Jolteon killed his Charmeleon
and
I was advancing to the Semi-Finals!
W-3 L-0 T-1
ROUND #6
Semi-Finals
v.
Haymaker
We both started with Electabuzzes.I went first and did 10
damage and
paralyzed him. I killed him two rounds later. Then a Hitmonchan took
out my
Electabuzz because of my weakness. Then I brought in Scyther. His
Hitmonchan couldn't touch my Scyther, and if he did, it would only do 10
damage. I killed one more Electabuzzes, a Scyther, and two other
Hitmonchans
before he decked himself. HaHaHaHaHa, I WIN AGAIN.
W-4 L-0 T-1
ROUND #7
Championship
v.
Raindance Deck
I think it was kind of a fluke. I started with only an
Eevee. He
started with a Lapras. His Lapras killed my Eevee and that was my only
basic. Anyway, 2nd isn't bad.
W-4 L-1 T-1
I got 5 Rocket Booster Packs. I got a Holo Dark Arbok, a Holo Dark
Dugtrio,
a Dark Weezing, a Dark Slowbro, and a Dark Dragonite.
