1st Round vs "nameless" Parasect

It was an easy game, but since he startes with cessation crystal i passed a bad time, but at least pachirisu made it! then GardyLvX Bring down made it! 1-0

2nd Round vs "nameless" Darkrai/weavile/wiglytuff

It was one of the easiest games i had, since Gallade on T3 i can easily psychic Cut everything. 2-0

3rd Round vs "nameless" Magkiss Magmortar/togekiss

It's set-up where so bad, since he can blast off 2 of my ralts i just get combo on him Palkia LvX with Gardy LvX restructure+teleportation to easy Lock his togekiss, at last Primal swhirl ended him. 3-0

4th Round Vs "nameless"

I hadn`t any idea of what the guy try to play, but Gallade on t2 give him an instant K.O 4-0

5th Round Vs Pablo Meza Magmortar/thyplosion/Tech

We both had a bad start, but he had supporters and i didn't, since i started with baltoy i had to K.O his pachirisu, then he easily overpass me with magmortar, finally i can get a Claydol for coming back and gallade get magmortar out of play, since he had 2 thyplosions he shocked me with ralts+candy Gallade poke power thyplosion and DRE he psychic cut my gallade, i can handle it out with gardy and Made combo with palkia and cresselia, so his claydols where out of service during several turns, at least Omastar KO a quilava and ended his posibility to Level up magmortar, but time run out and 3to 2 Prize cards left he won, GOOD GAME PABLO! 4-1

6th Round Vs "nameless" Blissey/Delcatty

I'm gonna sound like a bad player but i don't know how this guy won 4 rounds, he was just making time with his "GENTELMEN" Style telling me...My turn? Ohh Thanx a lot! My turn? can you explain me what does your card says? and some of those "bad loser" things, i had no problem handle it with the same manner, but even the judges were laughting about his "PLOX" and "THANX" words, at least i can OHKO 3 of his blisseys and thanks to palkiaLvX gardyLvX and Cresselia LvX I Took 3 prize cards from his Delcatty ex, he was just amazed about that card...Sorry dude But PLOX lose! 5-1

7th Round Vs "JOB" Gardellade

This was a funny game, i'll relate you... I start "ralts energy on ralts 20 to yours" he's turn "o well i rare candy my ralts on gallade turn on gallade your turn" My turn "Nice play dude, candy on my ralts GARDEVOIR!!!" o s...!! you dont played any supporters yet...well energy on gardy (I had Gardy lvX on my hand And i felt i could win with BRING DOWN) your turn" His turn "Ohhh look at this DRE, Psychic Cut!!!" Ohhh myy!!!... 5-2

8th round Vs Serch Abarca Infercatty

He just started OHKO my ralts one of my kirlias an even my cresselia, But he used 3 DRE so he had a lot of luck, when i completed my gardy stage + celios network for palkia he was amazed, he Leveled up Infernape but he hasn't enougth energys to performs the attack, so I leveled up gardy, Phoebe's stadium free retreat palkia LvX level up, and i used night maintenace for my cresselia, with a little help of his Rosseane's research i set up my cresselia and add an energy, RESTRUCTURE!! he said i chose your cresselia-_-...? well i chose your delcatty Psychic lock, Ohh well played dude i had no more energy cards...Your turn, YEAH!!! well free retreat my gardy Level up on cresselia damage on delcatty there's one down,turn energy on my cresselia Telepass celio's OMASTAR!!! since he added a skitty to active... well your infernape LvX is no more, Restructure "Let me that chimchar" Teleportation WAGER!!! (i won this one) plus plox!!! devastation completed, 2 down, then he said "well you deserve to win" i had no more cards in my hand that could help me so your turn" Perfect! Turn on cresselia Lv X Restructure Let me that skitty Teleportation free retreat Full moon dance on skitty MOON SKIP!! 2 prizes left... He just evolve his chimchar (one of 2 there was) and 30, your turn...PERFECT!!! Restructure let me chimchar FMD MOON SKIP!!! GOOD GAME!!! 6-2

Well that's all for that day, i qualyfied 10th a position highter than The last national champion,

Top 32 Vs "nameless" PLOX

1st game .- Just a little nervous i bad started and he made it PLOX on T2 i was devasted...
2nd game .- Well a really good start!! Claydoll and gardy On t3 Plox, good game.
3 game.- Both had a good set up, he candy his garde and gallade and waited for my attack but he had a terrible choice about let his 2 stage 2 pokemons at bench, i just candy omastar!!! and get him out of play, PLOX on 4th turn, devasted. 7-2

Top 16

This one was a very graceful present to me, "your opponent hasn't come yet" so you win
GREAT!!! 8-2

Top 8 Vs Mario escutia (Specter) with Specter dogs Houndoom/absol
Game 1
He just devasted my hand in T2, i had nothing else than a ralts a baltoy and a cresselia as active versus an arsenal of houndours and absols with cessation, i'm proudly get into move and told to myself, "If i'm gonna lose my hand, Let's just arrange the deck with cressy, and i do, an stevens advice get me into the game again evolving my kirlia, and again "Future sight" he was confused about my strategy, but it worked quite well, i used future sight to get steven again, then retreat cressy with Phoebe's and Psychic research on Steven's again, just Perfect i got a gallade and Gallade put him into place, i was amazed about how i recovered the posibilities, and with no cessation Gardy Made it
BRING DOWN, BRING DOWN, BRING DOWN!!! That's all!!!
Game 2
After that coming back i made the strategy, the first pokemon i search for was pachirisu, and it was the thought decision i made, 40 No cessation and that 2 cessation on your hand are down!, this was just the end i knew, but when 4-2 on prize cards time was called Good game!!! 9-2

Wow, i did it i made 4th well then the revenge

Top 4 VS "JOB" Gardellade/dusknoir tech

Since he won to the Ex-national champion Josue palomino, on last round i get really pumped...
The 1st Game

He played like if someone else where running behind him on T3 he said "Candy garde" Telepass celio Candy Gallade" Candy Dusknoir, I was at the point of laughting, but who knew that i had Fossil candy and omastar on my hand? well i used Candy OMASTAR and good bye to his pokes, Well then on T4 i get Plox so he just said "Good Game"

2nd game

He was so nervous cuz the Head judge was right behind him ( i understood why he was nervous but well)
he had a good set up but no gardy appeared, then i gardy on t3 and by ploxing Him he won't stand a chance.... WIIII!!! i'm at finals....huh what a game!! 10-2

Finals Vs ASHRAM with a devastating B&B WITH CESSATION!!!

1st game he get to early a cessation crystal and atached it to chansey, i satrted with baltoy and baltoy make it "40" to chansey and i get back!! blissey said BAM!!!bye ralts here comes baltoy again "50" and i'm back, Blissey said Bam!! to another ralts, Baltoy KO Blissey with cessation, and that's it, he can even OHKO another pokemon but what? i had a claydol ready to set my game UP, and that's how it was, Gallade And cresselia LvX appeared, I leveled up cressy and free retreat gallade with scramble One blissey less, -"60 "- Another blissey less, HE used A Bannete to Put 7 damage counters on my gallade ending him, I just moved with Full Moon dance and Ko a bannete, Then gardy Leveled Up and Bring Down His Shuppet, the game become closely 2-1 But another gallade is on, I moved a damage counter from gardy to blissey and Psychic cut with no more pokemon at his bench i Won

2Nd game One of the best set ups ever, pachirisu Vs Shuppet, Call for family Unown G, Ralts and Baltoy, 2nd turn i used celios to bring claydoll atached my Unown to pachirisu, and a gallade made the magic, i finished a bannete and 2 blisseys Quickly GOOD GAME!!!

WELL I HOPE I DON'T MISSED ANY WORDS THERE AS ENGLISH It's Not my LANGUAGE i hope i don't had a lot of mistakes, I HOPE YOU ENJOY!! :thumb::thumb::thumb:
 
Sergio,

Excellent job at your nationals! While I honestly feel that your list is very inconsistent (no disrespect), it seems very versatile, and EXTREMELY fun to play. It looks like you played skilfully.

As "weird" as this list may seem to a consistency player such as myself, it's honestly the most creative Gardelade build I've seen in ages. Best of luck at Worlds, and may your list improvements guide you to a top cut.
 
Of course he is very skilled, and also very lucky!!! He gets a Gardevoir or a Claydol in T2 in almost every game. Congrats again Sergio, you really deserve it :D Im seeing you at Worlds... or at my house maybe one of these days n_n
 

Congratulations Sergio... as i told u: u r a very creative n skilled kid (17 years old)... i'm your fan hahaha see u at worlds...

By the way: the absol-doom list is something like this:

4 absol
4-4 houndoom

4 cessation crystal
4 energy removal
4 great ball
2 scoot
3 castaway
2 roseanne's research
3 celio's network
2 steven's advice
4 team galactic's mars
2 team galactic's wager
2 crystal beach
2 moonlight stadium

4 special darkness
4 multi
3 fire
