Before I go into my day I wanna just take a moment here to thank Dorian, Mr. Grass and Professor Bix, as well as all the other judges that were there for today's awsome event in. You all did a superb job and should really be commended. (Despite the opinion of one such person that shall remain nameless).
Extra thanks to all the parents that take the time and energy to help the kids that play and bring them out to this. You guys are the best.
Now on with my day.
Round 1. Me (Blaze EX w/Rayquaza Vs Same)
After having laid out my deck this was a bad game start to finish Getting all I needed when I didn't need it. Blazken EX by 3rd turn but nothing to help support him and after a few hits he went down and being energy starved the rest of the game cause me to struggle vainly to my first round loss.
Round 2. Me Vs Aqua water deck (0-1)
An odd deck that looked remarkably like the team Aqua theme deck right out of the box with some light changes with Expedition trainers. Needless to say the deck didn't stack up to me. Turn 3 Blazken EX and all his support just took out the opposition without a sweat.
Round 3. Me vs ???? (It had Mereep in it that's all I know) (1-1)
Random collection of Aqua's Spheal/Seeleo, and Mareep. Bazken EX and Rayquaza made short work of this issue. Not much to tell here
Lunch
Round 4. Me Vs Ampharos EX (2-1)
She started with only 1 Khangaskahn and I just sat in wonder of what type of deck she was playing. It hit me by surprize when Ampharos EX laid a heavy smack onto my Rayquaza thankfully it wasn't Paralyzed but was now holding 80 Damage. Some quick Oracle action to fetch a Nurse and with the help of a Switch (A sacrificial Dunsparce) Blazken (firestarter) and Aqua's manectric the Ray was back to lay the final hit that ruined her deck (3 blazkens....so nasty with that Ray)
Round 5 Me vs Aqua's Walerain deck(3-1)
Have to say this was probably one of the hardest wins I picked up all day. He started fast getting 2 swamperts out and ready then a few turns later came the Walerain and a nasty hit on my Blazken EX. It was clear that my only hope would be Rayquaza. Gunning through my deck fasterh than I ever have we were trading blows back and forth adn eventually came to a brick wall where none of us had energy to attack with. I had one Firestarter, Rayquaza, Manectric and Delcatty. I put up the delcatty since at the tiem it was no longer useful (An Elm's Training revealed nothing that would help me.) So I had no choice, I sent up the Manectric and could only hope that he pulled no energy cards for a turn or two. Sending it up I attacked Hitting his active Wob for 50 putting it at 60. He pulls it back and sends out dunsparce and attempts to paralyze me and fails. Take the Sparce out and pull a prize. Glorious...a fire energy...my win in the bag. He sends up Walerain with 1 energy hit's Manectric for 20. Retreat the manectric, firestarter to it then send up Rayqaza with 3 fire and 1 lightning...game set match.
Round 6 Me vs Aquaplois Scizor.
I'm fire he's metal. Nuff Said. I had control start to finish.
Top 8.
In my fondest wishes I wanted only to break even. As dorian called out that there would be a top 8 and not top 4 I thought I was gonna just pass out or something. But even if it had been top four...I was in. As third ranked player I was ready for the playoffs.
Round 1 Me Vs Gardivoir EX
This prooved to be a bit easier of a game because Iwas playing someone I knew and wouldn't have felt bad losing to him. 3 members of Team Eevee were playing for the gold. The hits went back and forth but I finally managed to get things moving when I got the 2nd Blazken ready to firestart with Manectric. Rayquaza started taking things down till finally Gardy Ex gave me an 11 card feedback but by then the Blaze EX was on the field and came up to take out a Dunsparce on his bench and pull my last prize.
Round 2 Me vs Rayquaza with BlazeEX
This game could have gone either way but fact is that I got all my Torchics up and going and had 2 Blazkens 1 EX 1 Manectirc and Rayquaza set and ready Blazken EX ran the show then Rayquaza made a final KO appearance to take down his Blaze EX for the win.
Final Round Me vs same deck as First round.
They say that fate is not without a sense of Irony. With now all member of Team Eevee eliminated I was all that was left. I had to take this for the team and failure was not an option for me.
Having played him earlier I knew all the tricks I knew the score and knew just how to win against him. So without hesitating I drew my hand, Dunsparce and Skitty as basics. But...no energy. He went first and had a pair of Sandstorm EX torchics to start with he attached energy TV reported and passes. I Draw. Thank goodness, Fire energy. Right to Dunsparce and Play Oak's Research. Grabbed my hand which came with Delcatty and Aqua's manectric as well as Torchic. Bench the Chic then Strike For Torchic, Elektrike and Ray. He evolved active Torchic to Combusken and the Bench one to Firestarter Blazeken. But Still I worry not. he hits the Dunsparce for 30 with quick attack. My turn Draw Oracle. Perfect. Oracle for Rare Candy and Firestarter. Evolve to Manectric and Delcatty. Catty Power and Evolve Torchic to Blaze not to mention Pulling the Blaze EX. I attack and couldn't Paralyze. He lays skitty and Electrike after a reporter. KO on the Sparce. My Turn, Send up the Rayquza and Pull Blazken. Sweet. Another Oracle for Rare Candy and Torchic. Delcatty for both and...another Oracle. Beware of God hands. Attach Lightning to Ray then Firestarter two to him Via Manectirc and Evolve the 3rd Torchic to Blaze EX Ray makes the KO on the Combusken for the Prize 1. Next up is his Dunsparce. With nothing else he hits and paralyzes it. Nothing but Paralyzation for 3 turns then he misses the flip. Now I have the Blaze EX ready so attach one to Ray and retreat for the KO on the Blaze on his bench. Prize 2. Next turn he uses Strike and Rund for Electrike, Torchic and Skitty. Blaze takes out his benched Catty. Prize 3. He tries to use Sparce to paralyze Blaze EX...no luck. His Electrike goes down Prize 4. Seeing the end her took on Faith and Played Rayquaza EX Rare candies the Torchic for Firestarter and plays a Fire from the hand to Ray and attempts Paralysis...and misses. Blaze takes down the Ray and the game is over. After a devistating first round loss I recover and become state champion of the 15+ division of PA.
A day well spent I collected my spoils after many congratulations from all my team members. Hugs from everyone. With the match done I retired to watch the 11-14 division match between Justin Weed and Blair Bennet. I tuned into the match just as Blair pulled up her last prize. The two memebers of Team Eevee of South Jersey walked up Triumphantly to pick up our Trophies and Boxes.
On a final note I wanna thank all the Members of the Gamers realm Pokemon league for coming up here and Representing South Jersey and prooving that we are not to be taken lightly.
To all members of Team Eevee. You guys performed phenominally and I can say wholeheartedly that I am proud of the way that each and everyone of you played today. You all did a great job and were just awsome sports about everything, good luck or bad. Just remember that Blair and I won beacause of all of you rooting for us and Cheering us on in those tense final games. Congratulations to Everyone that played today because I'm happy to say I have never been happier to be the leader of such and awsome team. Great Job you guys !!!!
This win is especially dedicated to Gardevoir Guardian, Gyarados Master, Scyther Trainer and Little Pichu for their tireless efforts in helping me to prepare for this. And also to the absent Lunamew who could saddly not be there for personal reasons.
However I also dedicate this victory to a very special person. One of the greatest players in South Jersey and my best friend...GodTrainer. If he hadn't spent countless nights testing and tweaking this deck with me I don't think I would be where I am today. This one was for you Man.
