I am so excited that I won 1st place at Battle Roads in the Senior division today. Today I woke up around 10:00 and packed all my cards. I still didn't know what deck to play for BR's, so I waited until I got there and saw the metagame and decided to use GeChamp, the 4th time used at a BR's and only got second. Gliscor used a Flygon deck, Lenny used Mightytank, Brawler used BlazeRay, and my other friend used Raybees. It took like 45 minutes until the first match started. They said that the Juniors had only 5 people so they put them with the Seniors and Top 4 cut for Seniors and 4 rounds. I practiced with my Gyarados deck against Raybees and won. He said he wanted to build the deck because I beat him. Round 1 pairings are up!!!

The list for GeChamp that I used:

Pokemon: 22

Gengar 3-2-3
Machamp Lv.X 2-1-2-1
2 Crobat G
Claydol 2-2
2 Uxie
1 Unown G

Trainers and Supporters: 28

3 Bebe's Search
3 Roseanne's Research
1 Looker's Investigation
2 Poke Turn
2 Poke Ball
3 Pokedex Handy910is
1 Luxury Ball
2 Switch
3 Broken Time-Space
4 Rare Candy
3 Night Maintenance

Energy: 10

6 Psychic Energy
3 Fighting Energy
1 Call Energy

Round 1: Shadowwiidragon (GeChamp) vs. Edwin (Legoes)

I get a horrible start with Unown G. He goes second and starts with Luxray GL. He Cyru's for a SP Radar and Roseanne's and Energy Gain. He adds a lightining energy to Luxray GL and Energy Gain. Then puts down a Crobat G for 1 damage and then uses Poke Turn for a T1 Donk.

I was disappointed I got Donked on my first round. Gliscor: 0-1, Brawler: 1-0, Superwolfe 1-0, Lenny 1-0 and me 0-1. Sad

I was looking for a Flygon Lv.X and finally found one to trade with my friend. I traded him a Snorlax Lv.X and Rayquaza C Lv.X for Flygon Lv.X and Flygon. It was my only Snorelax, but it was worth it. Round 2 standings are up and I'm like in 12th or 13th place, so I think I can't make top cut.

Round 2: Shadowwiidragon (GeChamp) vs. Charles (noob deck)

I get an awesome start with Gastly and he starts with Aerodactyl GL and Voltorb. I evolve into Gengar and use shadow room for 3 damage counters. He does 20 damage to my Gengar. I get out Machamp and start sweeping.

Shadowwiidragon 1-1, Gliscor 1-1, Brawler 2-0, Superwolfe 1-1, Lenny 2-0.

I go eat lunch at Wendy's with my dad and it was empty because I won Round 2 early, so after 30 minutes it was crowded. It was like the whole tournament was there!

My sleeves were new, but to slippery. So I asked Kevin (Professor) if I can switch my sleeves, so he let me. I put my lucky sleeves on my cards. Then other one of my friends says he'll trade for my slippery sleeves. I trade him my sleeves and Charmander SF for his Snorlax Lv.X. I was happy again because I got my Snorlax Lv.X back. Round 3 starts!

Round 3: Shadowwiidragon (GeChamp) vs. Superwolfe (Empogross)

He starts with Piplup and I start with Uxie. I go first and attach an energy. Then use Psychic Restore. He searches for Uxie and Beldum. He ends his turn. I evolve into Gengar and Shadow Room his Beldum for the first prize. Next turn he evolves into Empoleon and Metagross. He does 30 damage to my Machamp and Claydol. I KO his Uxie with Shadow Room and he does 30 damage to my Claydol and Machamp and knocks out Claydol. I set up another Gengar and use Shadow Room to kill his other Uxie. He uses like 4 Poke Turn to knock out my Machamp and then KO's my Gengar. I bring up my other Gengar and use Shadow Room to his Piplup for the win.

Cool I'm 2-1! Gliscor: 1-2, Superwolfe 1-2, Brawler 3-0, Lenny 2-1.

Round 4: Shadowwiidragon (GeChamp) vs. Random person (Mighty Toolbox)

He starts with Honchrow G. I go first with Crobat G and was lucky not get Donked. He then retreats and brings out Toxicroak G. Which gave me the hardest time to beat his deck. So it took me a while to beat it, so I brought up Uxie to kill it. After that I set up a Machamp and KOed his pokemon. He brings up Mightyena and I level up Machamp and KO it for 100 damage.

Shadowwiidragon 3-1, Gliscor 2-2, Brawler 4-0, Lenny 2-2

Now my friends and I wait until Rankings are up. Rankings are posted and I made top cut!!! I didn't think I was going to make Top Cut. After I won my last round a lot of people started to lose, which helped me make top cut. Brawler told me he would get his revenge, since I beat him at Fairfax BR's.

Top Cut:

Brawler BlazeRay
Dylan RayBees
Dean Absol G
Shadowwiidragon GeChamp

Round 5: Shadowwiidragon 3-1 vs. Brawler 4-0 Absol G

I get a pretty good start. I start with Crobat G. He goes first and attaches a Call Energy to Blaziken FB for Mewtwo and Luxray GL. I use Poke Ball and flip heads and looks for a Machamp. Then I used Bebe's Search for a Machop and attach a fighting energy to it and Rare Candy into Machamp. Retreat Crobat G and KO Blaziken FB with Machamp. Next turn, I have nothing in my hand but energy, so I attach to Machamp and he has Mewtwo out with two energy on it. Then I use Hurricane Punch for 3 heads and knock out. So far lucky. Then I draw into Roseanne's Research for Uxie and Gastly. Set up Gengar and then Lv.X up Machamp. He has Uxie Lv.X with a Unown G and then I use Hurricane Punch for one head and knock out. Then he asks the judge about Machamp Lv.X No Guard Poke Body. And doesn't knock out my Machamp Lv.X. So after I KO some other pokemon for game or he scooped, I don't exactly remember.

Game 2: I get awesome start and start with Gastly or Machop. I don't remember this battle too well. He got a bad start according to him and scoops and I win.

So I guess Dean won after my battle.

Round 6: Shadowwiidragon 5-1 vs. Dean (Absol G)

Game 1: He starts with Absol G and I start with Gastly. He does 20 damage to Gastly with Faint Attack. I evolve into Gengar next turn and use Shadow Room for 3 damage counters. Next turn he levels up to Absol G Lv.X and KO's Gengar and fainting spell fails. He kept Power Spraying every Uxie and I couldn't get to anything and lost. Sad First lost of the day.

Game 2: He start with Absol and I start with Gastly again. I attach an energy to Gastly and use Pitch Dark. He attaches a Call Energy to his Absol. I evolve into Gengar and use Poltergist for knock out. He uses Cyru's Conspiracy and gets an Energy Gain and attaches it to the wrong Absol G. He scoops just because of that misplay.

Were both tied now.

Game 3: I get another start with Gastly and Pitch Dark. He gets an Absol G ready and does 20 damage to my Gastly. I evolve into Gengar and I do Shadow Room to his Absol G. He levels up into Absol G Lv.X and KO's Gengar. I flip for Fainting Spell for heads and knock out. I get a Machamp set up and start KOing his Absol G and other basics for the win!

Shadowwiidragon wins his first tournament!!! 7-1!!!!
I got 4 packs and a Victory Medal card!!!

Pros:

Won first tournament
Won with GeChamp
Victory Medal
Gliscor, Brawler, Superwolfe and Lenny for being there
Trade for a Flygon Lv.X
Dad for driving me there

Cons:

T1 Donk first round

Thanks for reading my report!!!
 
Brawler used BlazeRay,
I keep trying to teach him the way but he always falls back on cookbook decks. *sighs*. To be fair, he did go undefeated in swiss.

Superwolfe (Empogross)
...Superwolfe 1-2,
Wolfe? Remembering what little I saw yesterday, I don't think Metagross works the way he was trying to play it.

Shadowwiidragon wins his first tournament!!! 7-1!!!!
Great job. And you beat the first round loss too! :thumb:
 
Great job on the win man

and rims rite brawler needs to make a deck that doesn't get killed by like every deck XD
 
Congrats on the win!!! However, (and I'm not picking on you, just pointing this out because I get quite a few questions about this when ratings points are updated) you did NOT go 7-1. Pokemon records are based on rounds, not games. In swiss, this distinction is meaningless since 1 round = 1 game; however, in top cuts this matters a lot. You were 3-1 in swiss and won both rounds in top cut.

Your final record is 5-1. Individual games do NOT appear in top cut stats.
