*BOOM* a Fireball Hits The Ground and creates a
scorching tornado of smoke. Everybody panicks and run for cover as the
tornado destroys all buildings in it's path.
Unknowing of what's going on, Bo Vu, with his hand over his
girlfriend Misty, walks out of a Japanese restaurant--
"Mr. Mime, I choose you" says Bo. "Build
an invincible wall right now" he continued.
The tornado collides against the invincible wall at an
amazingly fast speed... It makes a crack but Mr. Mime quickly repair it.
After a few more minutes the tornado bounce away.
And as Misty cried on Bo's shoulder, watching her city get
destroyed, the two knew that they had to somehow find a way to stop this new
phenomenon... or be gusted away just like the rest...
so the war begins: stop Gym Series or become a
victem of it... now that Bo Vu has bought himself sometime, can he prepare a
team that can withstand the wraths of Gym? can he save himself and his beautiful
girlfriend?... tune in next episode to see... <don't you hate it when
they do that?>
Okay so what Bo and Misty needs to prepare for is
obviously Gym Expansion, something very new, very nasty, and VERY fast
Among the many different decks that can be created- the most
dangerous ones will be the "Insane" ones. Here's how it is- the
Insane decks are designed to kill opponents in the first few turns EVERY SINGLE
GAME. This is going to be VERY possible with the addition of very insane
cards capable of very insane combos. HEre are some of the combos
Misty's Combo: Misty and Misty's rage
combined with the old drawing cards <and possibly some of the new> can cut
through the whole deck on the first turn- and that means possible plus 120
damage: 4 Misty and 4 Plus power- that means it can kill Chansey
Blaine's Combo: Blaine's Gamble and Blaine's Magmar
particularly runs through decks like it's actually burning
Empty Handed Combo: Rocket's trap, tickling machine, secret
Mission, combined with here comes rocket and lass will make your hand disappear
in a blink
Empty Bench Combo: Blaine's Growlithe- have the whirlwind
effect using only one energy- Brock's Mankey have the Gust of Wind effect using
only one energy
and these cards can pop out at ANY time in turbo decks with not only the
old Bills, oaks, but with good manners, Sabrina's Gaze, and the extremely insane
Misty <look at top 7 and take 2, discard the rest>. and the crazy
thing is that all these speed cards can be used together. 4 bill 4 oak 4 Misty 4
Sabrina's Gaze... there's even more chancey cards like Blaine's gamble and
Blaine's last resort can also be used
Poupori Combo: same as Empty bench combo but these decks go for
knock out by weakness on first turn while abusing their card drawing ability
so you thought Insane Wiggly was insane- these decks don't even have to
wait until second turn to wave goodbye- here's what it's gonna be like first
turn...
bill bill Misty's wrath Misty's wrath, Secret Mission, Computer Search
for Oak, Oak, bill, Sabrina's Gaze, Misty's wrath... by now the deck is down to
2 cards and all the plus power and Misty's trainer cards have been used- a lowly
Misty's goldeen with 7 trainer cards next to it KO a Chansey for the win.
so how will Bo Vu defend against such rage? One thing he HAS to
do is to ALWAYS start out with MORE THAN ONE basic- and that means MORE basics
in his deck- also, Bo's chances of surviving against those Empty handed decks
are very slim due to the brokeness of team rocket's trap- he must have quick
card drawing ability and he must have the card they call Here comes
team rocket to save his bum bum.
so as Bo remodel his army<deck> he's realizing although it
may be a bit slower than before -due to more Pokemons- it has a much higher chance
of surving against INSANE decks- which strives for early kills. But what
else might the new phenomenon of Gym have in store for Bo Vu and his
girlfriend Misty besides insane decks? Tune in next time to find
out.
**Bo hugs Misty and comfort her as Mr. Mime continues to build their
fortification with the help of Scyther, Hitmonlee, and Wigglytuff. The
screen zooms out and it shows Misty and Bo in the middle of the city- all
destroyed and turned to ash.**
