Hi Pojo this is my deck Shockwave, an H20 meltdown, that I used in a tourney
on 5/6/00 at Waldenbooks in Roseville, CA.  My name is Jessica and this deck
is the solution to killing Raindance decks.  There were three rounds against
people who liked Raindance and Freezing Rain decks.  PLEASE do not copy this
deck, use it as a strategy guide to help you build a better deck.  Okay,
here it is:

Pokemon: 15

Eevee-4  (for Jolteon!!!)
Kangaskhan-1 (a great wall and fetch)
TR Grimer-3  (Muk is the power of this deck)
Fossil Grimer-1  (It fools the, and paralisis is good)
Scyther-1  (only put one!!  this deck doesn't need them, it just scares
them!!)
Electabuzz-1  (same as Scyther)
Basic Pikachu-2  (Raichu ROCKS!!
Jungle Pikachu-2  (Spark is an awesome attack)

Stage 1: 8
TR Muk-1  (Poison is deadly)
Fossil Muk-2  (Toxic Gas helps with Raindance)
Jolteon-2  (Chances of 80 on turn three-yes! yes! yes!)
Basic Raichu-3  (if you have enough, Dark Raichus work well too, but the are
pretty rare)

Trainers: 12
ER-3  (gets 'em really annoyed when you have a Muk out)
SER-2  (same as ER)
Energy retreival-2  (you WILL need this card, trust me,I know)
GOW-3  (to get out Pokemon like Blastoise against a Raichu or a Gyarados
against your Scyther)
Pluspower-2  (Extra damage never hurts)

Energy 25
Grass-12  (DUH!!)
Lighning-13-(DUH!!)

Now to the challenge!!  I will be writind this in lower case, my fingers are
hurting now.

Round 1
Me vs. Freaky kid w/Freezing Rain deck

I started with buzz, eevee, and pikachu as my basics.  he had a lapras.  i
had jolteon in my hand along with a grass and electric energy.  i draw a
raichu put an en. on buzz and thundershock for 20 paralize.  he says go
without even doing anything. i attatch another energy and k.o. lapras he
sens out squirtle.  you can prettty much guess who won.

1, 0

round 2
RAINDANCE DECK!!

i don't remember the beginning of the game, but in the middle i had 3 prizes
and he had six.  i had gotten a muk on turn two, and after bombarding him
with energy removals, he was pretty mad.  he had out a gyarados, attached a
water energy, and said  "go".  i had out scy and slashed for 60  (ouch).  he
scooped up a blastoise with 90 damge and said go, not realizing the mistake
he made.  i slashed, and that was the game.

2,0

round 3

this guy thought that dittos didn't need en. and any other pokemon didn't
need en.  he was disqualified for putting down a blastoise as his starter.

3,0

final round
Psy/rain deck

i had to play another round because there were two undefeated ones so far,
and one of us had to be defeated.  i had raichu and muk on turn three, and
he had nothing but a blastoise and an alakazam  his blastoise was history
with raichu, and he had no psy energy to power up alakazam.  my jolteon took
care of this guy.

4,0

yes!! i won!!  and all thanks to raindance and my shockwave deck.  i got one
rocket booster and one darkness booster, in which i got a dark raichu and a
mewtwo with 3 attacks!!  I know some of you prbably hate it when you read
these and everyone gets wonderful prizes, but i've been to over 30 tourneys
and have either gotten trainers or stupid no holos like vaporeon or fossil
zapdos.  no offense to anyone who plays those cards, but to me, the stink.
herte are the props and slops.

props to waldenbooks for good prizes

props to the people who played raindance

props to my mom and dad for getting me the booster packs that got me my
muks, raichus and jolteons

props to the kid who traded his 1st edition lapras with me

slops to the kid who played with dittos

slops to the freaky kid who cheated and ripped people off

slops to the sore losers
