Round 1 vs Martine
She played a L/W/R deck with Lugia and the 3 Light Evolutions of eevee +
some support like Rocket's Zappy and Magmar
I could start zapping some of Promo's Eevees but then I did something kinda
stupid, I evolved the benched zubat into Golbat, so gues what happened...all
the eevees became Eeveelutions. Anyway, I could K.O. all the eeveelutions,
then she could do an electroburn with her Rocket's Zappy and then I could
K.O. it for the win.
Next game she could build up a lugia twice but then she had no more energy's
to retreat it, so I poisoned it to dead and killed most of the weak basics
on the bench.
2-0 3 points (9)

Round two vs Michel with Kingdra/Steelix
1st game: he had slowpoke, I poison it with zubat, next turn I evolve into
golbat, attach another energy, do 10 damage and hope he doesn't have any
other basics. He doesn't have any and the Poison K.O.'s it
2nd game: I had nothing but cleffa and he had a Seadra by turn two. He
flipped heads and K.O.'ed my cleffa.
3rd game: practicly the same as game one, only with horsea.
2-1 6 points (15)

Round three vs Mario with weird Blaine's Arcy/Grass deck
1st game: I play cleffa, eeeeeeeeeek. He flips heads and can stoke. My turn:
no basic pokés, eeeeek again. He evolves into Arcy, attaches another energy,
flips heads and Heat Tackles for the win.
2nd game: I have a Crobat by turn 3 an he has some silly basic Pokémon like
Koga's Tangela... You probably know the end of the story...
3rd game: The same as the second game, seems like Blaine's Arcy is the only
decent Pokémon in his deck...
2-1 9 points (21)

Round four vs Jos with Koga/Psychic Deck
1st game: Loads of basics on his bench but no evo's so I could K.O. most of
them with crobat
2nd game: This game was won by Murkrow, locked a Mewtwo Promo and killed the
bench, then went for the last K.O. (the mewtwo) with crobat.
2-0 12 (30)

Round Five vs Laetitia with Kingdra/Slowking deck
She won the Rainham Gym Challenge (UK) with this deck, so I figured it
wouldn't be a shame losing to it...
1st game: Pichu came in very handy, killed two Slowkings and then Kingdra
with my Crobat.
2nd game: I couldn't get anything. When I was attacking with Golbat
(couldn't get crobat :-()  I even had to use Screech, because of the
energies... Anyway, I lost badly
3rd game: This game, I started really slow, I had a crobat by turn 6, but by
turn 8 she had 2 fully powered Kingdra's, I couldn't do a thing.
1-2 12 (33)

Round Six vs Dimitri
I'm getting tired, but this is Gatr. Crobat is designed to beat it, so I
SHOULD win...
... I was wrong. It was a kinda weird combination of Gatr/Steelix, I wasn't
prepared for this kind of deck.
1st game: He had Steelix, and I had bad flips with cross attack, he had good
flips with steelix, etc... lost
2nd game: After three turns, I had a fully powered Crobat, he a Croconaw, he
tackled and then... the judge said that time's up... One minute later and I
would've won. Now it was a draw.

Props
- The booster Destiny I bought there, for containing Shining Noctowl
- The guy that traded the Shining Noctowl for Shining Mewtwo
- Modified, for being much more fun then unlimited (Some people won't like
me for saying this ;-) )

Slops
- Chomp Gatr, for losing to it...
- To, well, me. I accidently filled in 2-1 for me AND 2-1 for my opponent in
a game. They had to correct it in the DCI program, but they couldn't and had
to redo everything.
