Subject: Healing Rain, Gym Challenge Report Robert Ector


Healing Rain
By Robert Ector
Ramada Plaza Hotel
Kissimmee, FL

Well, I woke up 7 o’clock in the morning. All my friends slept over my house. We got ready and left at about 9:20. We got there at 10:30 and I still needed cards for my deck and so did Christian (I don’t even know why I wasted my time). So I got 3 dunsparce from my friend who was supposed to enter. Then, I got my Milotic Ex from Robert Baker. I still needed a dunsparce so I asked Heidi and she gave me one thanks Heidi! Then I started talking to Kyle and Robert and some other people…

My deck ended up looking like this



Pokemon:21
2-Milotic Ex
2-Milotic(HL)
1-Milotic(EM)

Feebasx4(Variations from all different sets)

3-Blastiose Ex
2-Wartortle
3-Squirtle

4-Dunsparce

Trainers:19
2-Masterball
2-Stevens Advice
2-Battle Frontier
2-Mr. Stones Project
2-TV Reporter
2-Switch
2-Copycat
2-VS Seeker
3-Rare Candy
1-Pokemon Retriever


Energy:19
19-Water Energy

So Anyways the first round started….



Round 1 ME VS John Hildalgo (Sorry if I spelled your name wrong)

At first we didn’t believe that John would show up but he did. I also knew what he was playing Sally Ex. So after are anticipated match up we finally got to verse each other. I have to say I got pretty scared until late game when he had a lone salamance and something on the bench. I knocked it out with Milotic Ex or Blastoise for game. I was happy for that win I didn’t think I would beat him.

1-0

Round 2 ME VS Caitlin Christian

Err Electric the one type that screwed me over in this tournament. She was playing one of the laturn variations. I really have no idea why people go head over heels for these decks? So anyways, this match was hers from the begging. She struck and ran at the beginning bringing out enough chinchus to screw me over. Then she just started to beat me down the rest of the game. I did manage to knock out one of her lanterns with Milotic Ex but it really didn’t help much because the used the next lantern and hit me for 150 because of weakness. That really sucked. She also one turn killed my Blastoise, which gave her the win.

1-1

Round 3 ME VS Rudy

The 11-14 got paired with some 10 and unders so yeah this girl was like 9 and ran the weirdest deck ever. She started with a Suicune Ex but couldn’t get enough energy’s on it to really do anything he was just basically annoying. After I knocked out Suicune with Milotic I just started beating down on her bench full of basics each with a different type. Finally she had out a lone Whismer and retreated it to an Hidden Legends Feebas with NO energy’s and tried to use acension. I told her you cant because you have no energy’s. She was just like “Um who cares”. In my head I was thinking I care. While all of this commotion was happening Gym leader Phil came up and corrected her Thanks Phil! So I ended up winning.



Lunch Break

Me and my 3 friends ran all the way down to burger king and ate lunch and we had to walk all the way back I was feeling kind of bad about my chances being in top 8 but I still had to be determined.

2-1

Round 4 ME VS Miranda Craig

Oh No! I said that to myself twice. The first time is when I saw I was paired with the head judge’s daughter and the second time was when I saw she was playing electric. So as I miserably sat down at table 3 I prepared the best way I could. So the match gets started and she get a second turn dark electrode and I just went blank from there. She was using electrode early game to help out her Dark Amphorous late game it sure helped I got killed. Boo you electric players! (J/P lol)

2-2

Side Note: At this point I thought I could make top 8 I was already 2-2 then I found out Miranda and Caitlin where 4-0 so I knew I had to have a high tiebreak this made me want to win even more.

Also about Christian, my friend Christian dropped out of the challenge to go swimming in the hotel pool that REALLY ticked me off that showed real stupidity I mean he didn’t even have trunks and don’t ask me what he went swimming in because I really don’t want to think about it right now. But still SHAME ON YOU Christian for dropping out.



Round 5 ME VS Miriam (Really long name cant remember)

This is the first person I have ever played in the modified format and he beat me horribly when we first played. Then we met up and states where I won and now we meet here again. I see a walrien when we first start but that just boosts my confidence. He starts with a Rockets Suicune. I knock that out quick and just start to work away on his basics Finally he manages to get up a Poliwrath it confuses me and then I cant retreat how gay is that? I roll heads twice on attacks with Milotic. Finally after he draws three prizes from that one Poliwrath I win. I tell him good game.

3-2

Between Rounds

They posted up rankings and I was in 8th and Caitlin and Heidi where 5-0 I was so happy if I won this next one I was guaranteed top 8



Round 6 ME VS Chris (4got your last name)

When I first started playing I thought for sure I would lose this match but I was wrong. He started with a voltorb and I think I started with a turn two Milotic (The super hypno wave one)! All I can remember this match is knocking him down as soon as he got a possibly good set up. In the end I knocked out yet another voltorb for the win. After this match I was so happy I mean I was in top 8 for the first time

4-2



Between top 8

Me and Kyle waited for the Rankings to come up it felt like they where taking years when it only took a couple of minutes. When they finally came I was in

6th place. YEAH! Kyle was in 8th and Ryan (His brother) was third and I had to verse him first. So I sent my deck through deck check and we started…



Top 8 ME VS Ryan Sabelhaus (Hopefully the name is spelled correctly)

These matches where two out of three so it took some time to determine the winner

Match 1: I started with dunsparce and I think I went first. I got a turn 2 Milotic and it was over from there I guess this match was kind of faint in my mind all I know is I won.



Match 2: ERR! This one pissed me off the most he was playing Marowak. The deck was good now don’t get me wrong. In this match I thought I had it at the end he had like three or two prizes and he sent up Macarogo who is weak to water, he is like you lost. I have a Blastoise and a Milotic on the bench both with damage. HE ROCKS ME!!! The sole purpose of my deck is to stop Rock-lock and he actually gets a rock off on me it really made me feel bad if only that Milotic had stayed in play longer…



Match 3: This one I remember well very, very, well. We both got off to a good start but in the end I had one prize left and he had two. The card that Ryan Basically used to beat the hell out of me was desert ruins if it wasn’t for ruins I would have done way better but because of that card I lost this one. I made a huge mistake by retreating the Super Hypno Milotic for a Milotic Ex. He hit the Milo Ex for huge damage and ruins ate it up. I should have never retreated. Oh well I lost and got 6th place YAY go me. I got 4 packs and pulled crap but I really didn’t care I got 6th place that was good enough for me.
