My Mom and I arrive in Orlando and we share a bus with Kevin White,Taylor Mitchell, and their dads to the hotel.After our room is ready I head downstairs to register my decklist and meet some of my friends and go to the welcome reception.They had all kinds of different food with people playing music and it was so cool of Nintendo to throw such and awesome party.

The next day I get breakfast at the watercress cafe and head down to the tournament area.They pair people at the tables to see who's present and shortly after that it begins.

Heres the list I used:

Pokemon 21
4 Dunsparce
4 Seedot
3 Nuzleaf
4 Shiftry
2 Skitty
2 Delcatty
1 Sentret
1 Furret

Trainers 22
4 Copycat
2 Desert Shaman
3 Oracle
3 Rare Candy
3 Stevens Advice
2 PETM
2 Desert Ruins
1 Mr Briney's Compassion
1 ATM Rock
1 Switch

Energy 17
4 Boost Energy
4 Dark
4 Double Rainbow Energy
5 Grass Energy

Round 1 Vs German National Champion with Blaze

I ask him what event he won to get in and when he said he won the german nationals and I was already starting to get worried.I draw my opening hand and start off with Dunsparce and Delcatty with plenty of grass.He starts off with Torchic but manages to get a turn 3 Dunsparce. I get all my Shiftrys with the help of Delcatty and every time he destroyed one of my Shiftrys I had another built and I basically take the game.
1-0

Round 2 Vs Shiftry

I start off with Seedot Rare Candy,Shiftry, and boost in my hand and I take out everything and he can't draw into anything decent. Everytime he used Copy Cat and got a large hand he said his hand was horrid.He was also playing with Dark Celebi which I thought was very intresting.
2-0

Round 3 Vs Grandma_Joner Aka Sebastion Crema with Blaze

I have the most HORRIBLE luck and I start with Sentret. I get a turn 3 Dunsparce and start to recover but everytime I enery drew I didn't get another energy and that really screwed me.I take a real beating from him.
2-1

Round 4 Vs HL Electrode and Ampharos Ex

Before the round began I was called up to the stage to recieve the good sportsmanship award for the 11-14.I was so happy and my Mom took my picture.

I start off with seedot and they have voltorb. I attach and pass and they attach to Voltorb and recharge.I know an Electrde is coming so I Copy Cat for 5 or 6 and draw NO BASICS. I attach and trip over for 10. They attach,Copy Cat, and pull an Electrode.They have a Mareep on the bench and its GG.Had I gotten any basic I could've recovered enough to put up a decent fight.
2-2

Lunch Break
I go eat lunch outside the tournament and play some games at Pokemon Rock's America.That place had so many things to do that I didn't have time to do eveything. I talk with Magnechu a bit and go in for the tournament.

Round 5 Vs Person from Holland with Skyridge Machamp

Out of all the decks out there I had to face this one. She kills my Dunsparce too early for me to recover and to make matters worth she killed my Delcatty and my Sentret/Furret line is prized.
2-3

Round 6 Vs CradilyEx

He played his Low Pressure Systems 1 on top of the other in 2 turns so he had no counter stadiums.
His first CradilyEx caused alot of trouble but after I took it out I slaughtered him.
3-3

Round 7 Vs Steven? Barlock with Crobyss

My deck has alot of trouble with Crobyss because I can't OHKO their Crobats without a Darkness, which didn't come to me, and I ran only 1 switch and 1 Mr.Briney's Compassion so it didn't take much to KO my Shiftry. Although he only started with a Clamperl he was able to recover and I couldn't do anything about it. A failed confusion flip on a Golbat and a lost Furret sealed my fate.
3-4

I miss the top 32 but I can't get too upset seeing as how I won the sportsmaship award! :D

The next day I participate in the 2nd FR LG Prerelease Event and we were the last to finish out of 6 :mad: . That was just ridiculous. The breaks were so long you could go take a luch break and be back on time.They kept saying"We'll start in a few minutes" so I didnt want to leave the area.We also didn't get to play our 6th round because it was taking so long.That was just pitiful...

I watch Taylor's game and she made 4rth!
I played a few practice games, talk with my friends for a bit,and go to the Ripley's Museum that night.

once again by another person my extreme sexy self was not mentioned at all. wat is wrong wit u ppl?? well david congrats on that sportsmanship award...u deserve it.
 
Major props David on the weekend. I know you did not finish as high as you wanted but wasn't it great just to be there. In my post earlier I neglected to mention how much you helped in getting Taylor ready for the tournament. Playing against you on a regular basis has definitely improved her skills to where she can compete with the best and I do believe you are one of the best. She could not have done it without your help.

The new year starts and its going to be one of the tooughest 11-14 divisions in the country here in Memphis. Taylor is moving up along with Kevin White, you, and Nick Marsden should make for some epic battles. I predict that we get at least 2 more invites to World's next year other than the one Taylor received. You kids are that good.

We may be drafting Friday night so I will give you a call. Prerelease is Saturday.

Hope you had a greta time in Florida
