~~"ex Deoxys" Is Landing in Del City, Oklahoma~~


Yes, that is right!!! Master Professor Birch is starting the "ex Deoxys" Pre-releases at "Drake's Place" in Del City, Oklahoma. This is not a typo!!! Oklahoma Pokemon players will be the FIRST to get their hands on the "Out of this World" set of Pokemon cards!!! Deoxys is the Pokemon from Outer Space and will be making its debut in this exciting series of cards. MP Birch has expanded his pre-releases to six "Pre-release Tournaments" in four days. But, the "Sooner Nation" will be the first. Thanks to Roger Stillwell, owner and manager of "Drake's Place", I cannot think of a better place to start the "ex Deoxys" than there. We always have loads of fun at these pre-releases and Roger makes everyone feel like family. This event will be no different. Come and check out the new series of Pokemon cards and expect to have more fun all day long. Check out the details below.

I have added the "Side Event"-"ex Deoxys" Booster Draft. How could I have forgotten the Booster Draft Tournament??? We have more fun with this than the regular tournament!!! I also forgot to add that there will be drawing for door prizes. MP Birch will be giving away "Box Toppers", and other cool Pokemon stuff. (Any donations will be appreciated.)

Take care and I will be adding more information leading up to this exciting event.

PS: Do what your soul & mind tell you to do. Good luck in your decision. Oh yes, I am sure that the other Pokemon players will not miss a talented player as you not being there. They may request that your school do more debates on Saturday.
 
w00t
I got out of it!!!!
go me!!!!
I'm so awesome!!!!!
My argumentation skills convinced my teacher of the importance of my friends in the Pokeworld
 
Hey Oldman, isn't it your birthday today, or yesterday? Happy Birthday. Great seeing you at the Ft/Worth CC. Tell the OU boys hello.
 
Yes it was yesterday. Thanks a lot. I'll let them know you said hello but always remember not everyone up here is an OU fan.
 
LOL. The only birthday cake I had was on my son's last month. Do you really want some of that?

I totally missed Austin's cake at Ft. Worth last Sunday as well, so no cake for a while for me.
 
I can't Wait for this release "boost is back" and I want a rematch with Susan and Clay(hope you are able to make it up for this) The after draft is usually the best thats when Roy sr. and Ryan get to play and of course I normally come in somewhere towards the bottom. I'm usually in good company with Roy sr. and Ryan there with me.
 
I'm looking forward to this. The great Boost Energy has returned! (Not to mention Crystal Shard for those pesky Dragonites...) My mother claims she'll also play in the prerelease and the GBA tournament.
 
Ohhhhhh...klahoma, here comes MP Birch, again. Everyone knows that there is no other place to party than with my Oklahoma friends. Get ready...MP Birch will have a few new surprises for you this time around!!! I can't wait!!!

I have some really great news for you all!
For all of you expecting to win, your chances just raised!!


One of the best limited players in Oklahoma will not be attending this tournament.


btw, Roy or Birch, is there any possible way that I could switch me free entry to the prerelease in Richardson?
 
Whicker - You'll have to talk to Roger about that, as he was the one holding the tournament for the free entry. I'm sure something can be worked out though. Even if it won't happen until the next pre-release.
