Hello all. This is the Black Hole deck. I named it this because it seems to
suck the life out of my opponent's deck. Here it is.

4 Hitmonchan            4 Energy Removal            10 Lightning energy
4 Electabuzz            3 Super Energy Removal  10 Fighting Energy
4 Scyther               4 Scoop Up                  4 Double colorless Energy
2 Chansey               4 Gust of Wind

                        3 Bill
                        2 Professor Oak

The tournament took place at the Bailey Recreational Center in Westland,
Michigan, on the 12th. There were 20 or so victims.....errr.... players, i
mean. Yes, players. One loss elimination.

Round one: some kid with psy fighting deck
    this kid had a load of fighting guys (hitmonchan, hitmonlee, machop, and
even a base set machoke) along with slowbros. In  my opening hand, two
scyther. My scythers went about destroying him. Once i had one prize left, he
began to throw out pokemon and then retreat the turn before death. I am not a
patient person, so i powered a Chansey and double edged for my last prize. I
win 6 prizes to none.
   
Round two: some kid with fighting colorless deck
    He gets several mulligans and i pickup more cards with bills. He
eventually gets a machop and snorlax. I get scyther, chansey, and a
hitmonchan. i led with chansey and start to power my hitmonchan. Once chansey
could take no mor, i scooped and sent out hitmonchan. i destroyed his machop
and snorlax for the victory.

Round three: Aaron with a lightning grass haymaker
    Aaron is one of the best pokemon players here ( next to me). His deck is
very similar in its trainers to mine. We each get into furious battle. It
wittles down to me with one prize and him with two. we had each oaked and
billed and gambled so much, we were running out of cards. In order to get my
last prize, i powered yet another chansey. He saw this coming and was forced
to draw all of his cards in order to try and stop me. I double edged him the
turn before him decked himself for the win.

Round 4: ?????????
    i dont remember this round very well ( i was eating pizza). I know i must
have won abd quickly if i dont remember.

Round 5: some kid
    he had to take off before the round started. He forfeited and i got 1st.
Prize was $10.


Props and slops:
props to Wotc for making such great cards
props to Bo for giving so much prize money
props to the Pojo for putting my deck on their website

slops to the kid who forfeited (he was talkin trash and i wanted to beat him)
