Well this was a horrible..but good day. You shall see why.
Vince picked me up at like 5 Friday night and we went out to a Chinese restauraunt for dinner. FuriousZangoose(Ben) and Vince's son, Zak, was with our little group. I wasn't hungry for some reason today so I didn't eat much. While everyone else ate quite a bit ;P
So we are driving and I started to feel sick..Which isn't good while being on the road ;P So i stick it out until we get to the hotel and it seems to have gone away a little. Everyone else goes swimming but I chose not to and I just stay up in the hotel room and relax. Then they come back and we get decks prepared and then we sleep.
And with that the horrible but good day begins. I wake up at 5 AM feeling HORRIBLE and I went into the bathroom and I was in there for 2 hours..and I'm sure you can imagine what I was doing ;P And I came out at like 7 and 5 minutes later I was back in there for about 30 minutes. ;P So by now everyone realized something was wrong with me and so Vince got me some Tums. So I watched this stupid Zolar movie on TV for like 2 hours and then we went downstairs to get to the tournament. I stayed in my pajamas and I brought my pillow as the Tums weren't helping much =(
So the tournament begins and I am playing Swampert..heres my list..I think..
Pokemon: 21
4x Mudkip
2x Marshstomp
3x Swampert
2x Swampert Ex
2x Skitty
2x Delcatty
3x Suicune Ex
3x Dunsparce
Trainers: 25
3x Professor Oak’s Research
3x Copycat
4x Oracle
3x Rare Candy
2x Professor Elm’s Training Method
2x Energy Restore
1x Fisherman
3x Pokemon Reversal
2x Crystal Shard
1x Warp Point
1x Switch
Energy: 14
14x Water Energy
Its pretty much the same thing I ran at State Championships except I play Reversal now, which helped an extreme amount. So let us begin.
I get free entry as I am a VIP and I designate my playing area as I do not want to move at all today so I stayed in the back corner the entire swiss rounds..with many visits to the local rest room ;P So it starts..
Round 1: Shane(drackmere on boards) Omastar/Suicune
I was deathly terrified as Omastar could ruin my deck. Luckily I decided before the tourney to go 3/2 Candy/Marshstomp rather then 4/1. So I get a pretty good set up I think..this day is very blurry so just bare with me. He gets 2 Omastars out and i get 2 Marshstomps in play so he can't quite do a LOT of damage to me. It comes down to 1-2 in prizes and he is about to kill my Suicune Ex. I Oracle for 2 Pokemon Reversal and gust up a Delcatty and kill it with the Suicune for the last prize. This was prolly the the hardest game all day. We talk for a little bit about online stuff and the next round starts.
Round 2: Julie? Team Aqua Deck
Well I get a 2nd turn Swampert Ex and she gets nothing at all so I win very quickly. She is very very nice and the type of person I really enjoy playing.
Well we have a lunch break and I don't eat anything as food disgusts me currently, btw I dont consume anything but a water bottle the whole day. So ya 3rd round begins..
Round 3: Ryan Grass deck
Well I am worried as I see a Treeko hit the board and Sceptile is like auto win against Swampert. So we start and I get a Swampert Ex up 3rd turn and he gets 2 energy the entire game so I basically win very quickly.
Round 4: Ben(FuriousZangoose) Bex
We draw.
Round 5: Trever Blaze
I offer to draw but he wants to play so we play. I get Swampert Ex up quickly and he gets nothing and I just maul threw them all.
So Ya I have 13 points and #1 seed for Top 4 in our division. BTW 31 people today I think and there is a cut Top 4 in 15 and 10-, and Top 2 in 11-14.
Here is the top 4 for our divsion.. BTW Everyone in our car top 4ed.
1. Me Swampert
2. Ben Bex
3. Ryan Grass
4. Vince Gardy
I play Vince and we take our time as he is going to Concede to me if his son Zak wins. So ya Zak does win and so he concedes. We did play 3 games however I won 1st he 2nd and we just started the 3rd and he concedes.
Top 2: Ben
Well this isn't fun as we are good friends and such. SO we start. He starts with 2 Torchics and he attaches and passes. I have absolutly no idea what I do but I get a Swampert Ex up and just get threw his pokemons. He gets nothing but a Combusken, no draw or anything.
2nd Game: Basically the same thing except he gets a Rayquaza. I Dunsparce it 2 times to get 40 on it then he kills it and I send up Swampert Ex with 2 energy, attach shard and kill it. He then is left with a Torchic and a Skitty. He sends up something dunno which and I kill it. I dunno what happened now, but somehow he gets a Blaze Ex active and Blaze Kicks my Swampert Ex for 50. I retreat and kill it with Suicune for the game.
So I won my trip while feeling very bad. And then they start a Rochester draft that I dont feel like entering so I just relax and watch it. I give my box to Ben to sell to Vince to help pay for his trip to Nationals so hopefully he'll win there.
So ya that twas my day we drive home and they eat at Ponderosa while i sit and watch in disgust as food is being eaten. So I sleep most of the way home and I say my farewells and such and go to bed.
SOOO Props and Slops time.
Props:
The whole Stl team, we all top 4rd and 2 of us won ^_^
Vince for buying me Tums and getting me water and such
Everyone for traveling to the back and playing with me ;P
The nice bathrooms at the hotel, I became very familiar to it
Slops:
Chinese Food
Slowness of Tums
Mmk thats it. So I'm going to Worlds and I'll cya all there.
