After some
trouble finding the place (It was in a mall), I managed to make it in time.
Registration took a while and everyone ate at the food court right before it, so
it was pretty exciting. After waiting what seemed like a long while, after the
GBA tournament and the little kids getting some theme decks to play with, we
finally got our packs and began to build. I was pretty excited with I got, and
when the pairings were up, I was off!
Round
1
Me VS Guy
with Link Blast Deoxys
This
started out bad for me, since I couldn't pull any energy, but he had Link blast
Deoxys, so I managed to stall with Swellow untill I drew a Water Energy, and
switched to Pelipper (Free Retreat ^^), who Bay Danced Deoxys away. Pelipper
really killed him, and by the time he Ko'd it, I had out Nuzleaf, who did two
One-Two Punches for the win.
Win/Loss
1-0
Round
2
Me vs Guy
with Silcoon
I managed
to get out Smooth Over Magcargo early this round, so I got to rig my deck for
the rest of the game =P. I managed to get out Shiftry and
Win/Loss
2-0
Round 3
Me vs Guy
with Ninjask
He has
Ninjask turn 2, and swords Dance/Slash my Tropius for a One Hit KO. I couldn't
recover after that.
Win/Loss
2-1
Round
4
Me vs Girl
with DEOXYS EX!
I started
off bad, and she had Deoxys EX on the bench, ready to use. She had out Grumpig,
and had Hypnoblast'd and Extra Ball'd my Tropius, leaving it with only 10 hp.
That's when I made the best comeback in Pokemon History EVER. I managed to
Miracle Blow - Paralysis 10+ Turns in a row. At the end, I had out Magcargo,
Grumpig, and Pelipper, so I retreat Tropius and send out Pelipper, who Ko's
Grumpig with a few Bay Dances, gets Ko'd by Deoxys EX's Psyburn, I send out
Grumpig, Extra Ball for a One hit KO, and Ko her last pokemon after that for the
win.
Win/Loss
3-1
Round
5
Me vs Guy
with Manectric
Turn 1, he
uses Recharge, Turn two he uses Magnetic Tackle. I wasn't fast enough to fight
back.
Win/Loss
3-2
So, the
Finals players are being called, and I'm announced in the Top 8. Then they say
they made a mistake, and that I must play for 8th seed. Did I mention it was a 1
prize match?
Round 6 -
8th Seed Sudden Death
Me VS Guy
with cool damage counters.
We each
start with one poke - His Koffing against my Spoink. He first Turn poisons me,
and I Try to put him to sleep, but he stays awake. I manage to switch with
Tropius, which gets poisoned, but confuses him. I switch for a Swellow, which
only has 1 energy, and manage to draw Boost Energy and Nosedive for 40. He
draws, and then congratulates me!
Win/Loss
4-2
Finals,
Round 1
Me vs Guy
with Xatu
Ugh, I did
so poorly ><. He ends up getting out a Xatu, which I try to keep asleep
with Spoink. I got Magcargo and used Smooth Over for Grumpig. BIG MISTAKE. He
wakes up, Ko's Spoink, I send out Magcargo, and from there I end up using Smooth
over very poorly. Xatu just whooped me.
Win/Loss
4-3
Well, it
wasn't so bad, since everyone gets the same number of packs after the tourney
anyway, and I got a cool Prerealese stamped Manectric. I managed to meet some
cool people (though I wish I could remember thier names ;^_^), I did get a lot
of cool pokes, including all 3 normal Deoxys. w00T! I'm hoping I can go to more
sanctioned events. i guess I need a Props and Slops
section...
Props:
Getting
Smooth Over Magcargo!
Getting a
Really cool (EX Hidden Legends) T-Shirt!
Getting a
POP Rayquaza!
Getting a
lot of cool cards!
Making
Top-8 in my first event!
