Well, School was over for us already. And I had nothing better to do in the morning so I stop by Toys-r-us with my deck.

Thanks to Scott Gerhardt

3 Gust of Wind

2 Scoop Up

2 Item Finder

I had this deck since Scott builds it late last year. But I keep improving it. And since Team Rocket came out, I added Squirtle and Rainbow Energy. Also, this tournament allows Japanese card if we had the translation for that card. So I throw in a Koga’s Ditto to attack quicker. Enough talk here what happen.

I knew he had a fire deck so I started off with Electabuzz and put my Scyther on bench. Also had 2 Lighting, 2 Fire, 1 DCE. I won the coin flip, and got a Oak. He only had a Tauros out. So I Thundershock and paralysis him. He attach Fighting energy on Tauros. Then I got a Ditto, I put him on the bench. Add another Lighting Energy on Electabuzz, and Thunderpunch him for 30. He put Cubone on the bench and added a Fighting energy on him. I added a DCE on Scyther and Thunderpunch again for 30. Then he added a Fighting Energy on Cubone and a Plus power. Then he used Rage for 30. I added Psychic Energy to Scyther and Scoop Up Electabuzz and Slash him for 60. His out of basic, I win.

I didn’t get a basic till my third try so she got like 11 card by now. So I Started off with Ditto and bench Scyther. She started with Staryu and Goldeen on the bench. I won the flip so I go first. I had some trainer to use so I Bill. I used Item Finder and Bill again. And bench another Scyther. Then I added a Lighting Energy on Ditto and used Might. She added a Water energy on Goldeen. I ER Goldeen. Then I added a DCE on Scyther and add a Plus power and used tackle for 40. She then used her Goldeen and bench a Farfetch’d. I added a Lighting Energy to Scyther and tackle for 30. She added a Psychic energy to Farfetch’d. I added a Fire Energy to my other Scyther and tackle to kill Goldeen. She added a water energy to Farfetch’d and Leek Slap me for 30. I had 2 Energy Removal on my hand so I used both of them. Then I tackle for 30. She couldn’t do anything beside adding a Psychic energy on Farfetch’d and then I went for the kill. She was out of basic.

Bad Bad! I had Ditto and 2 Electabuzz. So I start with Ditto and add a Psychic Energy and did Might. He got Hitmochan out and Sandshrew on the bench. He added a Fighting energy and jab me for 40. I ER him, added a Lighting Energy on Electabuzz and used tackle for 30. He added a Water Energy on Hitmochan and didn’t do anything. I added a Fire Energy on Electabuzz. ER his Hitmochan again. Then I Scoop Up Ditto and put in Electabuzz. Then I Oak, and Thunderpunch for 40. He didn’t do anything the next turn, so I added a Fire Energy on Magmar and Thunderpunch again for 40. He put in Sandshrew and bench a Hitmochan and Shellder. And added a energy on Hitmochan. Then I got a Scyther! So I gust out that Shellder added a Rainbow Energy to Scyther and Thunderpunch for 60. He bring Sandshrew back out and added a Fighting Energy to Hitmochan. I added DCE on Scyther, retreat Electabuzz and put Scyther in and attack for 60. He bring out Hitmochan and added a Water energy, bench another Sandshrew and special punch me for 10!. I Oak and got a Plus power and attack for 40. He Special punch me again for 10. Then I kill his Hitmochan. Then killed his Sandshrew. Out of basic

I started my Electabuzz and bench my Magmar. I lost on coin flip, he started with Kangaskhan and Abra on his bench. He fetch, then I ER him, added a lighting energy and thundershock without paralyzed. He added another energy and fetch again. I added a Psychic energy to Electabuzz and Thunderpunch for 40. He bench Mr. Mime. Added energy to Abra and fetch again!… I don’t know what his doing… But I know his not Stalling. I Thunderpunch for 40 again and kill Kangaskhan. He brings out Mr. Mime and evolve Kadabra. And put another energy on Abra. I Thundershock Mr. Mime with paralyzed. He added another energy on Kadabra so this is dangerous. I bench Ditto and added an energy on him. Thundershock again for 10. He added a Kangaskhan on his bench. Then I killed his Mr. Mime. And here come Kadabra. SuperPsy my Electabuzz for 50. I Scoop Up Electabuzz and bring in Ditto, Super Energy Removal him and did Might. He bench 2 Snorlax and added energy to Kangaskhan. Then I tackle Kadabra and he added another energy to Kangaskhan. And I tackle him again. Prize are now 6-3. And he bring out Snorlax.and added another Energy to Kangaskhan. I SER and ER his Kangaskhan, and tackle Snorlax for 30. He then put in Chansey and started to stall. Then I killed his Snorlax and he bring in Chansey. I kill that in 4 turns and he bring it Kangakhan with one energy. I got up to 60 energy on Kangakhan then he scoop it and put in another Chansey. I got 90 damage on Chansey then he switch with his Kangakhan. Finally, kill his Kangakhan for my last prize.

I start with Ditto and Scyther in my bench. She started with Magmar(fossil) and smokescreen me for 10. Then I used might and flip head. Then Smokescreen me again. I tackle and flip head for 30. Then he added like 3 Magmar(basic and fossil) on his bench and smokescreen again. I try to attack twice and flip tail. "Where is Squirtle when I needed him". Her Magmar is starting to piss me off… I Scoop Up my Ditto and bring in my own Magmar and smokescreen her. She flip head and smokescreen me back. I SER her basic Magmar and smokescreen her back. And this goes for a few more turn until I kill her Magmar… She bring out her other Magmar and smokescreen me again…I gust her Vulpix and smokescreen it. She try Confuse Ray, she flip head then tail so she didn’t confuse my magmar. I started to stall cause she bill a few times, I plus power smokescreen her Vulpix. She try confuse ray again but flip tail so no damage. She retreat her Vulpix bring out her Magmar and Fire punch me for 30. I bring in Ditto and Fire punch me for 30. I bench Magmar and used might. He Fire punch. I Item Find a SER and SER her then tackle for 30. Then she put in 2 bench pokemon and added energy to one of them. I kill her Magmar she bring out her fossil Magmar and smokescreen my Magmar. I bring out Electabuzz and Thundershock her Magmar and paralyzed it. She added another energy. I gust her Vulpix out and killed it. She bring back out Magmar with a loaded bench (Moltres, Ninetales, Arcanine). I then kill her Magmar. She bring out Ninetales and building up for fire blast. I Thunderpunch her Ninetales for 40. She killed my Electabuzz with Fire blast. And I bring my other Electabuzz in and kill her Ninetale.
