50(ish) Players


Well I figure it is about time for me to post another tourney report. I woke up, showered, filled out a deck list and left for Time Warp Comics about 40 minutes from my house. When I got there around noon, I saw some familiars like Christian, Shaw and a bunch of others form the board. Well went out with some guys, got some pizza and got back for the tourney. I was playing my version of Ludicolo, which had tested nicely in Apprentice. I took the States as preperation for the Regionals/Gyms/Nats, trying out decks is always fun. :)

Well this is not a final list, round uno of the tourney started about 1:10, here we go!

*Note* I don't remember any opponents names, just there decks, sorry!



Round One vs. Blaziken

Well here we go. Round one vs. old school Blaze. I lost in NY to this same opponent, great player. I go second starting with two Slugma =/. No worries, I draw, Celio a Magcargo. Attach energy to Slugma and use Collect. Well next turn Smooth Over, Lotad. Collect again to draw it. He KO's 1st Slugma and I bring out benched Lotad. Rare Candy into Swing Dance Ludicolo. I get two prizes till he KO's it. Know we have a couple turn Sparce battle. After he KO's it I bring out Happy Dance Ludicolo and manage a couple prizes. At this point we both have a pretty full set up working smoothly and with 10 minutes he KO's my Magcargo putting him down to a last prize. I bring out a Kingdra with 2 energy vs. his Ray EX. Put down a multi and Crystal Shard for 100 KO. We are both down to out last prize and he puts out Bex with 110 damage on it. He fire starts twice to Mane and shifts it to Bex. Puts one from his hand. Now I misjudged that his Bex had an energy already, Bex now has 4 he does 100 to a bench Cargo for the game.

What a match!

LOSE, 0-1



Round Two vs. Gardevoir

Ok, well I'm up against Gardevoir, I knew I could win this one as long as I kept Gardy EX out. Well I start with a lone Slugma. O_o. I Celio for a Magcargo and use collect. I drew Lotad, benched it and evolved to Cargo. Energy, and smooth over. I used Knock Off for 10. Well now he has had 2 turns but still no kirla. He had a benched Ralts, active Ralts and benched Haunter. His ralts put me to slep but I woke up next turn when I drew, candied to a Ludicolo. Used Smooth/Swing to get more stuff. From here it was game, I was ATTACKING with Magcargo. Got 4 prizes, no bench, game.

WIN, 1-1



Round Three vs. Zapdos

Well here is the biggest threat to my deck. He got the good ZapTURNdos start while I couldn't get Kingdra up fast enough. Zapdos Hammered through a Lotad, Lombre and Magcargo for the game.

LOSE, 1-2



Round Four vs. Metagross

Well I saw a HL Gross while he was shuffling. So I started with Slugma and two benched Lotads.

Candied to colo, drew for Swing Dance. Used a Switch and did 30. He started with a Tropius (?_?) and I got Cargo up next turn and Kindgra turn after. I loaded bench up to 5 and was doing a solid 70-80 a turn. Colo pwnd.

WIN, 2-2



Well I knew I had to win the last two rounds to get to the T8, so here we go!



Round Five vs. Vileplume

This was a kid from the Worlds, I talked to him a couple time through the tourney. Plume posed an early threat, while I was able to KO one Plume, the benched one just shut me down, I couldnt do enough with Happy Dance Ludicolo to win it.

LOSE, 2-3



Now I know that i'm out. Oh well, still one more round.



Round Six vs. MetaByss

This was the worst match ever. I had to use the bathroom so badly, I was hungry and my opponent was so silent. I never knew what his move was, when he would use a Celio and had to show me something he flipped it so fast it was impossible to see what was going on. Enough ranting, I wanted to finish this match so fast so after he KO's two Colo and I KO two Metagross I just kind of gave in, I put up a Magcargo with no energy and left the bench wide open, Squared Attack (?) 120 damage, game.

LOSE, 2-4



Well it was a pretty nice tourney, I got some nice trades, talked to some friends from PTCO/Gym and ate some great pizza, and thats coming from a kid who eats NY pizza every week! :tongue: Another memorable moment was in between round 2 and 3, Shaw and I both bought those EX Collectors boxes (with Deoxys on one and Ray on the other) we bought those cause kids were pulling an EX and * in each! Of corse we get nothing! :thumb:

Well sorry I couldn't stay to watch the playoffs, my ride was leaving.

Props and Slops?



PROPS!

-Time warp, hosting a great states!

-All the great people there!

-My dad, providing a ride like always!

-Pepsi One! The official drink of Team Deception! (Chris I hope your reading this!) :clap:

-My aunts house, a convient 5 minutes from Time Warp!

-Ludicolo, the pimp of all Pokemon!



SLOPS!

-The EX Collectors box!

-My opponent who wouldn't talk in round six!

-The girl who had an anger problem. I'm not trying to offend anyone in this but Pokemon is just a game, losing is part of a game, if you can't deal with losing you shouldn't be playing.

-Time Warp's size, i'm sorry it just was cramped in there.



Eh, I don't care about this too much, after all, it's just a States. It matters for me once we hit Regionals on! It was nice to see you all!
