Ok...

I arrived in vancover on wendsday from the plane (first plane ride) and went for coffee and met up with the league leader from edmonton so we talked for a while and then headed back to the hotel. The next days I just did some site seeing the aqarium etc...
on friday the day before the event I had my deck in mind but needed some cards to finish off my empoleon deck.... I went down to the lobby and it was packed with people play testing I was all like wow. I meet up with pokemonmike and pokemonpat and bought some cards off them and play tested intill like 2 in the morning I was confedent I went 7-1 in playtesting...

ok the day of the event I woke up went to cloud 9 (the revolving restrant at the top + it was like lots of $$$$$$$)

I get down stairs and I became really sick like throwing up and had like a huge headache but thankfully my freind had some asprin I was all like YAY so I went to deck check got it all figured out and started....

5 rounds (for senior) and top 8 cut (nooooo I wanted top16) I was playing empoleon (no little bronzong or omastar it just slows me down)


first round:
my empoleon VS Glaceon LVX/empoleon
