Okay i would like to start off by saying that writing this thing was not my idea so i basically forgot like 1/2 of the matches/names. lol. But i finnally did after being nagged all day. Also 15+ had enough people to run as a separte tourny. so here is the report

I was running BAR here is the list

4 Blaziken
1 Blaziken ex
1 combusken(70 hp r/s)
2 torchic (dragon)
2 torchic(singe)

4 TVR
4 oracle
2 prof. elm training method
1 Town volunteers
4 rare candy

Round 1
Me vs Luke Reed playing Blaz/Quaza
dont really remember much of this. i just remembering getting screwed with a 13 card copycat i did, when there were only 20 cards in my deck. and then Blaziken ex killing me.
0-1 :mad:

I was kinda mad about not using my bye when i had the chance. I didnt use it because i was saving it for next weeks State Champs in MD. Oh well FREE PIZZA. Lunch was fun with the wondering and the jokes and so forth.

Round 2
Me vs TrueGamerX playing Kabutops ex
He started with a burried fossil. I stared with a dunsparse. He used fossil's power and got a kabuto, then he laid another vurried fossi. He then attached a fighting to the active and passed. I used strike and run and got 2 torchics and a skitty. He evolved the active to kabuto attached another energy and hit my dunsparse for 20. I evolved my torchic and skitty and energy derw and flashed him. he evolved to kabutops ex played a wob and killed dunsparse. I sent up a torchic used warp he sent up wob and i sent up something(cant remember). By turn 4 i got everything i needed and him with a 1 card hand topdecking I devistated his guys with rayquaza and ampharose.
1-1

note: i think he was playing wob but its been about a day so i might be getting matches mixed up.
Round 3
Me vs (Leah ????) Team Magma deck :-/
She started with a zangoose and me with a dunsparse. She played a magma hideout and used call for family and got and aron. I then used strike and run and not taking damage from the gym. I got i think 2 torchics and skitty. She then used conspirtor to get another aron and a groundon. attached a fightning to groundon and called for family again getting ant9oher groundon. I got up set up pretty fast with a turn 2 delcatty and laid down a rayquaza. after that it went down hill for her. she used maxie to get back aggron but rayquaza had resistance and just killed all of her guys.
2-1

Round 4
Me vs John Clancy playing Amphy ex
He started with merrep. I really dont remember what i had, but this game was a tough one. He got out a turn 3 amparhose ex while i was setting up. He started to kill my guys but i some how pulled it off using blazy swarms, blaz ex, and rayquaza.
3-1

I was feeling pretty good about winning 3 in a row and also hoping i wouldnt play anyone i knew that was play blazy. :-/

Round 5
Me vs Steph Barlock(RAMBO)
ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG I HATE MIRROR MATCHES. okay now thats said and done continuing with the report.... The game started and we both had crap. I had a lone merrep and here with a torchic. Both of us were energy/ draw screwed. We spent a lot of turns just drawing and me trying to go for the paralisis. Unfortunitly for me she got draw power in the form of tv reporters and researhes. she got the dunsparse and used strike and run. I got some things up but she got set up just soo much faster and killed my guys with blazy ex.
3-2

Now im kinda bitter when i lose to luck so i was kinda annoyed. I figured out the standing and found out that if i won my last match then i would make top 8.

Round 6
Me vs Dave Messeger(sry if i spelled/remembered your name wrong) playing Gardy
He had a horrible hand. I got a pretty good hand. He started with wynut and i started with dunsparse. I got everything up about turn 3-4. He couldnt draw anything that could help him. I preseded to kill everything with quaza. Then it was just a wob. so i sent up ampharose and smacked it for 80 and game.
4-1

I was really happy that i mad top 8 so here are the 8 players(not in order)
Steph Barlock
Mr. Fuji
ME
John Clancy
Gymbo
Brett McDonald
Advisor
and some guy whose name i cant rememeber

Top 8
Me vs Mr.Fuji(Blaziken/Rayquaza)
We both got running pretty fast. I got my set up about turn 4 and he was the same. The only problem that cost him the game was that 2 of his torchics were in the prizes. I ended up taking the match.

Top 4
Me vs ???(using Blazy/Wob/Magneton)
This match ended so quickly that i just dont remember it. SRY. ='(

Finals
ME vs Gymbo(Blaz/Quaza)
He started with a lone Rayquaza and me with a active skitty and a benched torchic. I went first. I attached a fire to skitty and used lullaby for 20. He rolled a head and woke up. He used a tv reporter and discarded a fire. he a torchic on the bench, attatched a lightning to ray and spirial growth and it failed. I evoved skitty into a delcatty and energy drew. laid a dunsparse retreated for dunsparse. I then attached an energy to it and used stike and run for a merrep, a quaza, and a torchic. He droped some more guys down and used growth again. I powered up rayquaza with an lightning energy. oracled for the rare candy and blaziken and energy drew it. I evolved a torchic into blaziken. fire started rayquaza. retreated dunsparse for my quaza. and kill his quaza. turns went by and he built up a blaz ex and killed quaza. but by that time it was too late. i was only 1 prize from winning and warp pointed for teh win.

The tourny ended and i got a super spiffy trophy. a box and a two round by at nationals. Now all i have to do is try to bum a ride to origins. so if you see a azn kid with pokemon cards in the ally that is prolly going to be me. lol

Props:
Sensei for running the event
anyone who wants prop except a certain person*coughCFKcough*

Slops:
i dont think negitivly so i didnt see any.

Hey Mike, congrats on your win! I was the guy (Daniel) second round with the K-tops EX deck. K-tops wasn't enough to pull it off, but at least I faced the State Champion. I remember I facing you at Skyridge SBZ, with that Copycat card with the phrase on it, and you had it again in that battle, too funny. But your one of the most coolest, funniest guys I faced in Pokemon and you deserved it Mike. Good luck at Nationals with your two byes.

Great report Mike,

Too bad when we play each other one of us has to have crap luck. I would like an actual good game with you one day. lol.

Just wanted to say to everyone, and you, that although I seemed a little angry, it was just I was distracted and dealing with something else in my personal life.

It was great seeing you all in VA. Once again, congrats. :)
