please admins dont lock this i spent over 3 hours writing it, and if you do i will be furrious! please i spet a LOT of time on it.
Then go by the rules and DONT star out or use inappropriate words...-`Sensei
this was not run though spell check, and typed after a LONG day of fun gamiming so just use your common sence when reading it and keep in mind that im am a bad speller, hey it happons;-p
Ok here goes, since Eevee Trainer made one of these after he won states, i keep with good old team eevee fashion and make one now for the bluebell gym challenge.
first and formost, HUGE congrates to all team eevee members,
Ok here goes
the night b4 we had some serious play testing sessons to help all of us try to decide what to go with. Everyone ended up with a great viratiy of decks, each to suit his or her own play style
so me and crew get up early today (round 7:30) and every one piles in to head out to the challenge. In toe we had me, eevee trainer, syther trainer, garadose master, little pichu, gardivour gardian all heading out
so we get to infinity quests, and all sign up and meet up with the rest off team eevee that could not make the trip over (or pre night sesson) with the rest of the group, namely vince, and also a TON of people from our gym out in force to represent us well *cough blare *cough.
eventualy the pairings are anounced and we all wish each other luck and go off to our first matches
let me also say that we had quite a turn out and some REAL stiff competion! the 15+ group had over 32 players, the 11-14 had like 16 and the 10- had like arround 10, we had alot and i know the total was over 60.
now i dont know the exact detales of every member of team eevees individual matches, but ill try my best here, but im mainly trying to discribe my matches
*before is start, i want to say that im horriable with names, and im sorry if i dont remember all of our battles toghter
by the way i played BAR with BEX, with the ampharos instead of TeamAqua menetric (namly cause i couldnt get them in time, and with only ONE BEX, but it is not a carbon copy list as i added lots of personal touches like fisherman and nurse and extra combusken)
also it was not my intention to play a bar deck ( although fire is my fav type) i had just gotten home from college the night b4 and was not up to building the absole InSaNiTy deck that i wanted to try (if you dont know what it is go to zeo)
anyway on with my report
swiss, best of 1, cut to top 8 best of 3
round 1
we start he goes fist cause i rolled a 1, and i think i had a dunsparce out, anyway he was playing some wired team magma rouge themed deck that seemed like a cool idea, except that he could only get out the gurodon and never seemed to have enough pokmeon on his bench to get it working much and well rayquaza cleaned house
1-0
now after his round i do remember eevee trainer won his round, syther trainer lost a EXTREALY close game, little pichu won i belive, gardivor gardian won i belive, garadose master lost i think, and vince won (sorry vince dont know your screan name)
ok round 2
okkkkkk he goes first again cause i roll another 1!! again a very nice gentelmen although i dont remeber his name, but he had a sceptile (lizard posion) and sytherEX and blazeiken deck that looked like it had lots of promise, but he ran into a HUGE NRG drought (wich seamed to happon ALOT for me and other people today, but with 16-20 nrg and a good dray system THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPON, but it did anyway, o well) but i got the ray set up with the blaziken and the amphy and won this round
2-0
now after this round i was happy but yet extreamly nervous, becuase i had not yet faced a gardivor deck, or a mirror match or any other real archyptes yet and i know i had the first 2 rounds were relavivly easy for me match up wise
this is where i also get a little fuzzy on my team mates match results, although i know most of there finnal standings, i was not expecting to have to write a torny report, so i was not exaclty keeping track that well
anyway
round 3
well turns out i was right, i get paired with another person who has a similar blaze deck but i think his was stright RAMBO. AND I ROLLED ANOTHER FREAKING ONE PEOPLE!!! IM NOT KIDDING!!! anyway i had my worst start of the enitere torny! all i had was a stinking marrep and 2blaziken 1blazsEX 2 amphaose and like a lighting nrg in my hand (well at least i had SOMETHING to do my fist turn) well HE got a blaze set up really fast (well sort of) he had it out by turn 3 but this kid TOOK for ever to do his turn, and i dont mean to sound hostile or anyting, but when you are sitting there with a freaking mareep and NOTHING else in your hand that you can use, and yes ladys and gentalmen i had NOTING for 4 more turns i guess your oponents turns just seem longer (*rolls eyes*) anyhoot, i got nothing for 4 turns, no more basics, no nrg, no trainers of any use, just evos that were no use to me at that time, and i must admint, that is the LAST time i dont take my time and shuffle right and just rush into the next round!
so i lost
2-1
ok at this point i was extreamly nervious, cause i had only played one other archtype and my deck craped out on me there
so the anouce the pairings and i get gardivor gardian!! yea, i was happy and sad and nervious all at the same time. Happy cause i get to play someone i know, and i can have good conversation, i was sad cause i never really like to see team eevee members play each other cause its almsot like were takeing away from each other, but o well, its enevitable (mister anderson AHAAHAH shane that one was for you!) ok so me and gardivoir gardiean and syther trainer were working on a new deck for him last night (gess his gardivours were tired) and someone (dont know who, think it was me, but again dont know) suggested to give good oll mukEX a try, well he did, and o boy was i sorry
round 4
FIRST OFF CURSE THE GODS FOR MAKEING ME ROLL ANOTHER 1!!! and people im useing diffrent dice here and i was about to chuck the darn things across the room i was so mad at the dice by now !! ok so im paying bar, and facing a mukEX. Not only that, but im from the old school and used to playing bar, with emphaiss on RAYquazza, not BEX (plus only had one in my deck, and hadent seen it b4 this match today) so im aiming for my normal set up of delcatty, 2 blaziken, ampy, ray, and a left over dunsparc; that if happons to get knocked out THATS when i go for the blazeEX build. so i get a good opening hand, and so does he. I remember that i had a turn 2 delcatty oracle about to fire off, with 2 rare candy in my hand right after a strike and run, and that =turn 2 blaze, amphy, ray, and delcatty!! HOWEVER he got 2 mukEX out on turn two, and i said to my self, self this is going to be along match of "dance the pokemon" and it sure was. with only one warp point in my arsinal i had to over stragicly plan when to use that sucker and it was about halfway though the match that i realized HAYYYYYYYYY blazeEX is the best way to beat mukEX as its fist attack is great, cheep and can stall while you build up the second (with out any recharges of course) but to little to late, as gardivour gardian pulled out a extreamly close and hard fought match, beating me ON TIME with a prize count of 3-2. good job man, freaking muK (*funny smirk face*)
2-2
oooooookkkkkkkk at this point im like, screw it im out of the top eight i might as well just have some fun
so
round 5
we get paired and im facing brian from our league, brian is my freind and a very good pokemon player, and since i havent been here in awhile (college) i had know idea what he was playing. Turns out to be gardivour. This match was even close then the previous match as, i did not get set up as fast, and he had a turn 2 gardyEX with a boost=NOT GOOD. anyway we went back and forth exchagning prizes. I took a gardivourEx, he took a RAY , i got a gardivour, he got a BLAZEX with a freaking wobby cuase i FORGOT IT WAS WEEK ooooooommmmmmmggggggg i was feelt stupid and did a face fall, but heck can you blame me? yess i read the boards religionsly and everthing, but heck i only got one of the things in my deck and it is FIRE after all sooooo cut me a break :) *end tangent* it went back and forth and we were down to one prize each, i dont remember what i killed but something got good oucheys! pulled it out in the end
3-2
now this is where it happoned
after the round i came over to eevee trainer to see how he did (like all team eevee members do after every round) and found out that he too was 3-2. soooo i was like oooooobbbbbboooooyyyyy
i was now pared with my best freind, mat canning (aka eevee trainer). Now you guys have to understaind something here first, be and mat have always been great rivals, ever since i met him way back so long ago and we realzsed that we both played typhosion/blanes charizard/blanes arcanine decks WITH out ever seeing each other b4. anyway as the years followed we HAD LEGENDARY BATTLES with each other, and MOST COMMING DOWN TO A FREAKING COIN FLIP!!!! he won a good share of them, and so did i. and this brought us REALLY close. so when i saw i was paired with him i was again, happy, sad and nervious but also, EXCITED this time cause i thought that we would be in for one of these epic long, drawn out battles seeing as how we were both playing bar varients. i was sad this time though, becuase i went into this torny hoping to get to play him in the finnals, like we have done sooo many times in the past, but alas it was not so
round 6
ok i started this round WITH A FREAKING 20 ROLE ON THE DIE, i was estatic, cuase it was my fist (and as it turns out, my only, time to go first ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!) i had a dunsparce and i think a torchik, and he had only 2 basics also (sorry mat dont remember what they were) and i got a pritty fast set up, but by this time i knew that BlazeEX was the key and had switched my mind set from being a RAY player to a BlazeEX player with ray to back it up, LOL still only problem with that was I ONLY HAD 1 IN THE DECK!! (and no TownV) anyway o man, yea he could not draw a freaking NRG or a good trainer for like 4 turns!@!!!! similar to the problem i had in round 3. and this was NOT how i wanted to win, i felt really bad and still do And people this IS WHY WE NEED THE TORNYS BEST OF 3!!!! but no swiss! NO time limit. dude, man i dont know what to say scept hang in there, its not your fault it was just a bad draw, and i still 100% consider you as good or better then i am!
4-2
that win was enough to get me into the top 8
ok fist let me say congrats and GREAT job to all team eevee members
syther trainer going 3-3
little pichu going 3-3
and for garadose master, for talking a risk and playing a deck that was rouge and that sitll managed to kick BUTT in it own respect FREAR DRAGONITE EX PEOPLE FEAR IT!
in the top 8 team eevee and our gym really represented!
top 8 of 15+
we had 3 team eevee members, and two others from our gym
they were
-shane manning T.E (gardiour gardian)
-tim robbins (mettalkingscizor)
-vince T.E (i think its vince909 or somthing like that, sorry vince)
-me T.E (god trainer)
-and i soooooo sorry but i dont rember the other perosons name from our league
and in the 14- top 4 (not enough for top 8)
we had blare T.E AGAIN!!! way to go blare
and in the 10- top 4 we had
are only 10- gym member WAY to go little guy!
so out of a top 16 player accross 3 age groups T.E represented with 5 and if you add our gym members we had 7!! not bad if i do say so my self
ok now on to my matches
*keeping with my NO going first tangents, now the way it was decide to work the finnals was that whoever won the fist match would go second in the best of 3*
round 1 match1 TOP8
i get paried with shane again!!! lol, omg this is so funny a deck that i helped design i was sure was going to take me out of the freaking torney LOL gota love the irony. so we set up and draw, and o yea I DID NOT GO FIRST AGAIN!!!! this was another REALLY had fought battle, but this time i knew that blazeEX was my key! and OMG we dicided to put in the rosalia last night and gosh darn it if he didnt use that freaking thing 3 times on me!!!!! to get an nrg advantage :and this came down to shane having 2 prizes and me haveing 2 prizes and i WAS sure he was going to win as i had a damaged blazeEX and everything eslse had like 60's on it and he had a fully powerd (but injured) muck ex, which can hand out 60's and he had a fully powered wobby sitting on his bench, and he warp points and im like CRAP!! he has me, cause he can do 60 to anyting for the game.....but i forgot that NOT EVERYTHING IS AN EX!!! LOL LOL LOL and worth 2 prizes (stupid ex's) and hes saying that theres no way he can win, im im like NO theres no way I can win, and we go back and forth utill i realize hes right, and i send out liek ampharos or somthing to get killed by the wobby, and then i get the blazkEX to kill the mukEX for the match win
round 1 match2 top8
now this one went a little more quickly, as he could not get 2 muk exes out fast enough so i could use my powers some more this game, and that made all the diffrence and i bust out a hard earned victory against a incredable player and deck! good job shane, dont worry next time youll get me with GODOFWAR.
ok now im in the top 4, and i cant freaking belive it, me and vince are still in it GO TEAM EEVEE! and 2 other players from MR grass's gym (dont know your names guys sorry) and pairinings and stuff are more relaxed now as the entire back room is basicly reserved for us, and alot of people cleared out. so we casualy go look at the pairings and it was me VS one of the grass gym guys and Vince vs the other, and i WASSS so happy cause that ment that now we had 2 times as much chance to get one team eevee member into the finnal match!
ok so let me also say this, my opponent was seeded #1 and went undefeted all day with a TOTALY awsome deck!! now im not going to say too much about it as he requested that i dont, but ill say that it had magnetion, bellsome (with the nrg attach power) and delcaty and folks this deck is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! b4 the cut to the top8 i saw him play another bar deck and completely HOUSE IT!! im not saying to much about his deck contents, but belive me i was Sincearly scared to play this deck! but at the same time i WASSSSSSSS SO happy to finnnnnnallllly beable to use my powers again!!!
*side tangent, i didnt go fist the fist match, and i won the fist match so that automaticly means that i DONT GO FIRST AGAIN!!! in the second match, per the rules
k so
round 2 match1 top8
now b4 this match started i new i was going to concentrate on blazeEX and try to disrupt his bench so the could not use those freaking bellosums, and luckly i was able to pull it off. I had a turn 2 blaze ex with catty and reg blazke backing him up, and used its fisrt attack killing his dunsparce next turn i attached again attacked, next turn, at attached and now had an amphy out so i recharged to the bench some where dosnt matter where (and THATS why amphy is GREAT!) and gave somthing on his bench a 100, and that pritty much how the rest of the game went (it was pritty quick) to his credit though he had a start and like next to NO nrgs
ok so by now im in love with taht blazeEX and completly forgot about even using the 2 ray i have in my deck and i knew that winning this round, ment focusing on blazeEX
*side tangent, i didnt go fist the fist match, and i won the fist match so that automaticly means that i DONT GO FIRST AGAIN!!! in the second match, per the rules
round 2 match2 top8
this round started a little better for him, and pritty much the same for me. I started with a torchick adn i mareep i think, but i oaks researched WITH OUT ATTACING NRG fist, hoping ot get a dunsparce and a nrg and a swich and OMG I did, i got all 3, so i prompley played them all and struck and run my bench full of stuff, and thats when i realzied it, at this point MY WORST FEAR CAME TRUE, my one and only darn bLazEX was in my prizes....1in6! thats why you dont only put one copy of a card in your deck people BE WARE THIS CAN HAPPON TO YOU! so im like crap ok..im now gona have to rely on ray to try to get me prizes till i can pull my blazEX. I remember knocking out his dunsparce with Ray and THAT DIDNT GET ME MY BLAZEX..now 1in5 next i killed something else and i FINNALY and VERY luckly pulled it as my prize, and just in time as his delcaty came out..boosted its self, and handed my ray a major arse wooping! so then i sent out a torchic, and promplty rarecandyed to blazeEX rechared 2, attached one from my hand, and luckly moved one up from my bench.....and from there it was pritty much one prize afther the next. GOOD JOB DUDE, and great deck!!!
ok so now im watching vinces game, and he is on match 3 and he is down on prizes, but he totaly has control of the board adn you could see that in like 3 turns he would BE then one up on prizes.....like ALL OF THEM, now time was short..like 5 min left or somethning and you could sorta tell the other kid was indirctly stalling, but vince gave him sort of a verbal warning and that lite a fire under his BUTT, and he got movinG! 2 more turns, vince won!
omg now its me and vince in the finnals toghter!! two team eevee members, can get any better then this ONE OF US WAS GETTING THE TRIP!!!
o yea and blare won her finnals match now by now too!! great job blar!
ok in case i didnt tell you, vince was playing a turbo kindraEX nurse boost deck that was REALLY FREAKING FAST, i mean turn 2 DIE type fast! (incedently i gave him the idea for this deck, helped him build this deck too, but alot of it was tweeked by him when he was away, so by now im sure the majority of the deck had his own stlying to it (o yea vince, take out that freaking ditto and add a fisherman! :)
the judges were nice enough to give us a 5 min break
and it was starting to hit me guys, at one point in this torny i was 2-2 and i didnt think i had a shot in heck at winning the trip! i was all about just having fun for the last rounds! and my mind couldnt get off how i felt after the first round i had with gardivour gardian
but i knew i was in for a tough match, cause i was week to water, but then it hit me....aaaaaaaa im now swithcing BACK to focusing on playing RAY, as he is resistant to water, and it could help me early on!
so we started
FINNALS match1
i got an amazing start, and all he for a basic was a wobby. i was like 0.0 he must be hording all his horses in his hand or something but no, buy turn 2 had struck and run(got ray, torchic and delcatty) and a delcatty out, and had 2 rare candy and oracle and an nrg in my had (o yea and i drew a mareep, so that is now on my bench) so i was like 0.0 aaaa delcatty/oracle for a blaze adn a ampy and rare candy both, attach a lighting, retrete the dunsparce (paying one) and recharge and move it up to the ray. did 40 and keep on doing solid damage, as he couldnt not get started...
ok so its match 2 and im freaking ESTATIC!!! if i win im going to worlds, but i didnt want to get over confident cause all i need to get was a bad start (aka NOT a dunspace) and for him to get a good start and he would over run me!
sooo
FINNALS match2
well, he started alittle better, and started about the same (yess) he got out a kindra ex, took a few prizes with it, but blazkEX came out and stated to give stuff 100's and it was like...yea... so i ended up winning!
ooooooooo(longest sigh)....
dude vince, man those were great finnals matches! and you diserded as much as anyone to win!
wrap ups.....

I took a gardivourEx, he took a RAY , i got a gardivour, he got a BLAZEX with a freaking wobby cuase i FORGOT IT WAS WEEK ooooooommmmmmmggggggg i was feelt stupid and did a face fall, but heck can you blame me? yess i read the boards religionsly and everthing, but heck i only got one of the things in my deck and it is FIRE after all sooooo cut me a break :) *end tangent* it went back and forth and we were down to one prize each, i dont remember what i killed but something got good oucheys! pulled it out in the end
3-2
now this is where it happoned
after the round i came over to eevee trainer to see how he did (like all team eevee members do after every round) and found out that he too was 3-2. soooo i was like oooooobbbbbboooooyyyyy
i was now pared with my best freind, mat canning (aka eevee trainer). Now you guys have to understaind something here first, be and mat have always been great rivals, ever since i met him way back so long ago and we realzsed that we both played typhosion/blanes charizard/blanes arcanine decks WITH out ever seeing each other b4. anyway as the years followed we HAD LEGENDARY BATTLES with each other, and MOST COMMING DOWN TO A FREAKING COIN FLIP!!!! he won a good share of them, and so did i. and this brought us REALLY close. so when i saw i was paired with him i was again, happy, sad and nervious but also, EXCITED this time cause i thought that we would be in for one of these epic long, drawn out battles seeing as how we were both playing bar varients. i was sad this time though, becuase i went into this torny hoping to get to play him in the finnals, like we have done sooo many times in the past, but alas it was not so
round 6
ok i started this round WITH A FREAKING 20 ROLE ON THE DIE, i was estatic, cuase it was my fist (and as it turns out, my only, time to go first ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!) i had a dunsparce and i think a torchik, and he had only 2 basics also (sorry mat dont remember what they were) and i got a pritty fast set up, but by this time i knew that BlazeEX was the key and had switched my mind set from being a RAY player to a BlazeEX player with ray to back it up, LOL still only problem with that was I ONLY HAD 1 IN THE DECK!! (and no TownV) anyway o man, yea he could not draw a freaking NRG or a good trainer for like 4 turns!@!!!! similar to the problem i had in round 3. and this was NOT how i wanted to win, i felt really bad and still do And people this IS WHY WE NEED THE TORNYS BEST OF 3!!!! but no swiss! NO time limit. dude, man i dont know what to say scept hang in there, its not your fault it was just a bad draw, and i still 100% consider you as good or better then i am!
4-2
that win was enough to get me into the top 8
ok fist let me say congrats and GREAT job to all team eevee members
syther trainer going 3-3
little pichu going 3-3
and for garadose master, for talking a risk and playing a deck that was rouge and that sitll managed to kick BUTT in it own respect FREAR DRAGONITE EX PEOPLE FEAR IT!
in the top 8 team eevee and our gym really represented!
top 8 of 15+
we had 3 team eevee members, and two others from our gym
they were
-shane manning T.E (gardiour gardian)
-tim robbins (mettalkingscizor)
-vince T.E (i think its vince909 or somthing like that, sorry vince)
-me T.E (god trainer)
-and i soooooo sorry but i dont rember the other perosons name from our league
and in the 14- top 4 (not enough for top 8)
we had blare T.E AGAIN!!! way to go blare
and in the 10- top 4 we had
are only 10- gym member WAY to go little guy!
so out of a top 16 player accross 3 age groups T.E represented with 5 and if you add our gym members we had 7!! not bad if i do say so my self
ok now on to my matches
*keeping with my NO going first tangents, now the way it was decide to work the finnals was that whoever won the fist match would go second in the best of 3*
round 1 match1 TOP8
i get paried with shane again!!! lol, omg this is so funny a deck that i helped design i was sure was going to take me out of the freaking torney LOL gota love the irony. so we set up and draw, and o yea I DID NOT GO FIRST AGAIN!!!! this was another REALLY had fought battle, but this time i knew that blazeEX was my key! and OMG we dicided to put in the rosalia last night and gosh darn it if he didnt use that freaking thing 3 times on me!!!!! to get an nrg advantage :and this came down to shane having 2 prizes and me haveing 2 prizes and i WAS sure he was going to win as i had a damaged blazeEX and everything eslse had like 60's on it and he had a fully powerd (but injured) muck ex, which can hand out 60's and he had a fully powered wobby sitting on his bench, and he warp points and im like CRAP!! he has me, cause he can do 60 to anyting for the game.....but i forgot that NOT EVERYTHING IS AN EX!!! LOL LOL LOL and worth 2 prizes (stupid ex's) and hes saying that theres no way he can win, im im like NO theres no way I can win, and we go back and forth utill i realize hes right, and i send out liek ampharos or somthing to get killed by the wobby, and then i get the blazkEX to kill the mukEX for the match win
round 1 match2 top8
now this one went a little more quickly, as he could not get 2 muk exes out fast enough so i could use my powers some more this game, and that made all the diffrence and i bust out a hard earned victory against a incredable player and deck! good job shane, dont worry next time youll get me with GODOFWAR.
ok now im in the top 4, and i cant freaking belive it, me and vince are still in it GO TEAM EEVEE! and 2 other players from MR grass's gym (dont know your names guys sorry) and pairinings and stuff are more relaxed now as the entire back room is basicly reserved for us, and alot of people cleared out. so we casualy go look at the pairings and it was me VS one of the grass gym guys and Vince vs the other, and i WASSS so happy cause that ment that now we had 2 times as much chance to get one team eevee member into the finnal match!
ok so let me also say this, my opponent was seeded #1 and went undefeted all day with a TOTALY awsome deck!! now im not going to say too much about it as he requested that i dont, but ill say that it had magnetion, bellsome (with the nrg attach power) and delcaty and folks this deck is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! b4 the cut to the top8 i saw him play another bar deck and completely HOUSE IT!! im not saying to much about his deck contents, but belive me i was Sincearly scared to play this deck! but at the same time i WASSSSSSSS SO happy to finnnnnnallllly beable to use my powers again!!!
*side tangent, i didnt go fist the fist match, and i won the fist match so that automaticly means that i DONT GO FIRST AGAIN!!! in the second match, per the rules
k so
round 2 match1 top8
now b4 this match started i new i was going to concentrate on blazeEX and try to disrupt his bench so the could not use those freaking bellosums, and luckly i was able to pull it off. I had a turn 2 blaze ex with catty and reg blazke backing him up, and used its fisrt attack killing his dunsparce next turn i attached again attacked, next turn, at attached and now had an amphy out so i recharged to the bench some where dosnt matter where (and THATS why amphy is GREAT!) and gave somthing on his bench a 100, and that pritty much how the rest of the game went (it was pritty quick) to his credit though he had a start and like next to NO nrgs
ok so by now im in love with taht blazeEX and completly forgot about even using the 2 ray i have in my deck and i knew that winning this round, ment focusing on blazeEX
*side tangent, i didnt go fist the fist match, and i won the fist match so that automaticly means that i DONT GO FIRST AGAIN!!! in the second match, per the rules
round 2 match2 top8
this round started a little better for him, and pritty much the same for me. I started with a torchick adn i mareep i think, but i oaks researched WITH OUT ATTACING NRG fist, hoping ot get a dunsparce and a nrg and a swich and OMG I did, i got all 3, so i prompley played them all and struck and run my bench full of stuff, and thats when i realzied it, at this point MY WORST FEAR CAME TRUE, my one and only darn bLazEX was in my prizes....1in6! thats why you dont only put one copy of a card in your deck people BE WARE THIS CAN HAPPON TO YOU! so im like crap ok..im now gona have to rely on ray to try to get me prizes till i can pull my blazEX. I remember knocking out his dunsparce with Ray and THAT DIDNT GET ME MY BLAZEX..now 1in5 next i killed something else and i FINNALY and VERY luckly pulled it as my prize, and just in time as his delcaty came out..boosted its self, and handed my ray a major arse wooping! so then i sent out a torchic, and promplty rarecandyed to blazeEX rechared 2, attached one from my hand, and luckly moved one up from my bench.....and from there it was pritty much one prize afther the next. GOOD JOB DUDE, and great deck!!!
ok so now im watching vinces game, and he is on match 3 and he is down on prizes, but he totaly has control of the board adn you could see that in like 3 turns he would BE then one up on prizes.....like ALL OF THEM, now time was short..like 5 min left or somethning and you could sorta tell the other kid was indirctly stalling, but vince gave him sort of a verbal warning and that lite a fire under his BUTT, and he got movinG! 2 more turns, vince won!
omg now its me and vince in the finnals toghter!! two team eevee members, can get any better then this ONE OF US WAS GETTING THE TRIP!!!
o yea and blare won her finnals match now by now too!! great job blar!
ok in case i didnt tell you, vince was playing a turbo kindraEX nurse boost deck that was REALLY FREAKING FAST, i mean turn 2 DIE type fast! (incedently i gave him the idea for this deck, helped him build this deck too, but alot of it was tweeked by him when he was away, so by now im sure the majority of the deck had his own stlying to it (o yea vince, take out that freaking ditto and add a fisherman! :)
the judges were nice enough to give us a 5 min break
and it was starting to hit me guys, at one point in this torny i was 2-2 and i didnt think i had a shot in heck at winning the trip! i was all about just having fun for the last rounds! and my mind couldnt get off how i felt after the first round i had with gardivour gardian
but i knew i was in for a tough match, cause i was week to water, but then it hit me....aaaaaaaa im now swithcing BACK to focusing on playing RAY, as he is resistant to water, and it could help me early on!
so we started
FINNALS match1
i got an amazing start, and all he for a basic was a wobby. i was like 0.0 he must be hording all his horses in his hand or something but no, buy turn 2 had struck and run(got ray, torchic and delcatty) and a delcatty out, and had 2 rare candy and oracle and an nrg in my had (o yea and i drew a mareep, so that is now on my bench) so i was like 0.0 aaaa delcatty/oracle for a blaze adn a ampy and rare candy both, attach a lighting, retrete the dunsparce (paying one) and recharge and move it up to the ray. did 40 and keep on doing solid damage, as he couldnt not get started...
ok so its match 2 and im freaking ESTATIC!!! if i win im going to worlds, but i didnt want to get over confident cause all i need to get was a bad start (aka NOT a dunspace) and for him to get a good start and he would over run me!
sooo
FINNALS match2
well, he started alittle better, and started about the same (yess) he got out a kindra ex, took a few prizes with it, but blazkEX came out and stated to give stuff 100's and it was like...yea... so i ended up winning!
ooooooooo(longest sigh)....
