I realized as soon as we started that I was going to have fun with this deck. With WigglyTuff as my main pokemon, and having a weakness to fighting, I was going to have to watch my move (not to mention, so does Electabuzz). After using Magmar to weaken his Hitmonchan, I brought out WigglyTuff to finish him off with do the wave. I was going along fine until he brought out another Hitmonchan that knocked out my Wigglytuff with a quick Jab. I brought out Scyther until I figure out what I was going to do. With luck in my side, I got an oak, to get out another Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff in my hand. I sent out Electbuzz to stall for two turns till my Wiggltuff is ready. After Wigglytuff got sent out, It was smooth sailing to the win (Except that I had only 3 cards in my deck at the end).

I can not say much about this round. I won the coin toss. Jiggly was my main pokemon, and Zubat was his pokemon. I attached a double colorless, Oaked to get a Plus Power and a Computer search. I searched for another Plus Power and knocked him out in my first turn.

As my next oppenent walked to the table I was at, everyone started singing the funneral march since they knew she was facing me. One person actually asked her if she wanted a black or brown coffin.

Of course, as fate would have it, I get to face my sister in the tournement. She started off with a Chansey, and I started off with Electabuzz. She built up Chansey for the Double Edge. I used Thunder Shock and Thunder Punch (to put 40 damage on her, 10 on me). She had one benched pokemon, and I had a Wigglytuff ready for action (along with an arrange of other pokemon). After she Double Edge knocking us both out, I won using the Do the Wave with WigglyTuff for another Victory.

Like Round 2, there is not much to say about this round. He had a Dratini and I had an Electabuzz. I had first turn, but not a lot I could do with the hand I had. I Computer searched for a Plus Power, then used oak to get a new hand. This hand had the Eletric Energy that I needed, but I still needed 2 more Plus Powers to kill him. I used 2 Bills to get another Oak and a Plus Power. I attached the plus power and used oak for my third plus power and another victory.

We both started off slow with him having a Growlith on the bench and I had Scyther as my starting pokemon, and had Electabuzz, and Jigglypuff on the bench. He went first, and attached a fire energy. On my turn, I attached a double Colorless to Jigglypuff, but had no other ways to get Wigglytuff. His next turn, he did not have another pokemon or energy; it was my turn again. I was able to get an oak, but I did not want to discard my plus power in my hand, and I did not want to tempt loosing it. His turn was up again. he attached a recyclable Engergy, doing 40 damage to my Scyther. On my third turn, I got the WigglyTuff I was looking for. I sent WigglyTuff out, attached an energy and plus power, used oak, lay down another pokemon and plus power to win this round.

How often can you face your own sister twice in one tournement. I let her know that we are going to repeat round 3 with me winning the match and the prizes. She was telling me something, but, like all brothers, we ignore our sister/brother. She started off with HipHop as her basic pokemon, and I started off with Magmar. I got to go first. I attached a fire Pokemon and smoke screened her for 20. Her turn, she attached a grass energy to HipHop and used sprout to get another one. My turn, I used oak so I can have a bench just in case she gets a good card out soon. I attached another fire Energy and used Smog for my first Prize. She sent out Hip Hop but did not have any more energies to attach. My turn, I used Computer Search for a Plus Power the Victory in the tournement.

Props: the use of my mom's car, and Step Dad giving us the money to go to the tournment.
