2x Item Finder
3x Nightly Garbage Run
4x Super Energy Removal
2x Rocket Sneak Attack
3x PlusPower

3x Professor Oak

    The idea of this deck is to get out Kangaskahn out first.  Fetch and Search & Oak your deck until you got a full bench and a Wigglytuff ready.  Pound the crap out of those 70 HP Pokemon with PlusPowers.  Dittos and Scythers take out Haymakers.  Let's see the results of the tourney.

First Match: Me vs. Kid with poor RainDance
 
    The deck this kid had was a disgrace to all raindance players.  He only had one Blastoise, 2 Squirtle, and no trainers in his deck!!! I got turn two Wigglytuff with pumped bench against an alone Squirtle.  Can you say "Buh-Bye"?

Second Match: Me vs. Kid with Haymaker

    This at first seemed to be a hard match.  He had out 3 Hitmonchans.  I had only a Kangaskahn.  I won the coin flip.  I drew a Grass energy.  I Sneak Attacked his SER, applyed the grass energy to Kangaskahn, and I fetched.  I got a Professor Oak!!!  He drew, applyed a Fighting energy to his Hitmonchan, and jabbed me.  I drew a Jigglypuff.  I placed the Jigglypuff down, applyed a DCE to Jigglypuff, and then Oaked.  I got the following: 3x Scyther, 2x DCE, Nightly Garbage Run, and a RSA.  I Sneak Attacked another SER, I put down all the Scythers, used Nightly Garbage Run to get back a Wigglytuff and two Grass energies, and then I fetched with my Kangaskahn.  I got a Pluspower.  He starts off his turn by energy removing my Kangaskahn.  He applyes another Fighting energy to his Hitmonchan and jabs.  I draw a Ditto.  I place down Ditto, evolve to Wigglytuff, applyed a Grass energy to Wigglytuff, and then passed my turn. He applyes another Fighting energy to his Hitmonchan and uses Special Punch.  He draws a prize, and  I send out a Scyther.  I draw another PlusPower.  I apply a DCE to Ditto, retreat to Wigglytuff, drop two PlusPowers, and kill his Hitmonchan with Do the Wave.  I get a Professor Oak as a prize.  He sends out another Hitmonchan, benches an Electabuzz, applyes a Lightning energy to Electabuzz, and passes his turn.  I draw a Kangaskahn.  I bench Kangaskahn, apply a grass energy to Ditto, and Do the Wave.  He applyes a Fighting energy to Electabuzz and passes his turn.  I draw a Pluspower.  I kill off Hitmonchan and draw a Computer Search as a prize.  He sends out Electabuzz, puts a Movie Mewtwo on his bench, applyes a fighting energy to Mewtwo, and gets tails on a Thunderpunch.  I draw a Jigglypuff.  I put a DCE on Kangaskahn, apply a PlusPower, and kill off Electabuzz with Do the Wave.  I draw a Nightly Garbage Run.  As soon as he draws, time is called.  I win.

Final Match: Me vs. Austin Beck with VERY, VERY good fire deck.

    This match was the hardest match of my life.  My opening hand: 2x Jigglypuff, Oak, Wigglytuff, 2x DCE, and a Grass energy.  I start with a Jiggly starting and benched.  He has out a Growlithe and a Charmander benched.  I won the coin flip (i won all the coin flips today ^_^).  I draw a Professor Oak.  I apply a DCE to the starting Jigglypuff and I pound the Growlithe.  He places a DCE on Charmander and passes his turn.  I draw a Scyther.  I bench Scyther, evolve to Wigglytuff (starter), apply a grass energy to Wigglytuff, Oak away my hand and get the following: 3x Ditto!!!, Nightly Garbage Run, 2x RSA, and a SER.  I Do the Wave on Growlithe.  He applies a fire energy to Charmander, evolves to Charmeleon, and passes his turn.  I draw an Item Finder and kill Growlithe with Do the Wave.  I get a Here Comes Team Rocket as a prize.  He throwes out Charmeleon, applies a DCE to Charmeleon, evolves to Charizard (NOOOOO!!!), benches a Fossil Magmar, and kills Wigglytuff with Fire Spin.  I throw out my other Jigglypuff.  I draw a Grass energy.  I apply the Grass energy, SER away the DCE, and I pass my turn.  He puts a Fire energy to Magmar and passes.  I draw a DCE.  I put the DCE to Jigglypuff, use Nightly Garbage Run to get back Wigglytuff.  I finally place down my Dittos I forgot about, and I pound Charizard.  He places another Fire energy to Magmar and passes.  I draw a Professor Oak.  I evolve to Wigglytuff, Oak my hand away (I was so excited to be where I was, I forgot what I got), applyed a Grass energy to Wigglytuff, and Did the Wave.  Charizard now has 80 damage on him ^_^.  He places a Growlithe to his bench and passes his turn.  I draw a Scyther.  I kill off Charizard with Do the Wave.  I get a PlusPower as a prize.  He sends out Magmar.  He applyes a Fire energy to Growlithe and Smogs me but no poison.  I draw a PlusPower.  I drop one PlusPower to Wigglytuff, and kill Magmar with Do the Wave.  He sends out Growlithe.  He drops a DCE to Growlithe, evolves to Arcanine, and passes.  I draw a Wigglytuff.  I Do the Wave for 60 damage.  He applyes a Fire energy and kills me with Take Down.  I send out a Ditto.  I drop a DCE to Ditto and I pass my turn.  He uses flamethrower on me.  I draw a Grass energy.  I drop it on Ditto, use flamethrower, and I win because he has no more Pokemon!!!
