I head over to Kings Games with Peter. We end up getting there 15 min early so we go to MCD for a light breakfast.

When we get back the store is open so we sit around and we wait for everyone else to show. I was debating between playing Eeveelutions and Chompy but my friend Edwin tells me Chompy is the way to go. After getting the Chompy LV X from Aaron and making last minute changes with help from Bolt and Edwin the tournament begins. It's announced there will be 4 rounds with a top 4.

Round 1:
Hector with Penguin and Omastar
So I start with gabite. He has piplup. I don't remember much except the wager. I win, he gets out an Empoleon but doesn't have the energy to kill Gabite. I just go on to win from there and fang everything. 1/0

Round 2:
Bolt with Speedrill
So I start off with gabite. I think he starts with baltoy. I get an early Chomp out and start killing off weedles. He once tries for stringshot but that fails. I also get out Chompy LV and do some dmg to the bench. He can't really come back so I fang the rest of his pokemon. 2/0

Round 3:
Charles with GAG
I start with a Baltoy and he starts with Absol. He starts to destroy my hand. Were both having a hard time to set up. He sets up a Gardy and starts to lock me but I'm able to counter with a Chomp and start to fang everything. 3/0

Round 4:
Lawrance with Hurricane
I believe we both start with Baltoy. He starts up a Gatr and starts to KO some of my guys. I come back with Chompy and attach a charm but need a PP for the KO. I think I went through like 10 cards from my deck and don't draw into it so I'm 10 short =/. I then get chompy LVX out and get 3 heads with Dragon Pulse Woot! I then restore one of my Chompys (love that attack) and continue to fang a few pokes. In the end he needs a candy for his last Gatr but can't draw in to it. 4/0

Woot. I go undefeated in a BR ROFL

The Standings for top 4 are:
1. Dan w/Chompy
2. Lawrance w/ Hurricane
3. Mike w/ Magleaf
4. Charles w/ GAG

I head over to Burger King before the top cut with Edwin and Alex. After we finish eating I look at the time and see I have about 5 minutes left to get back so I start to walk back. Edwin and Alex are taking their time so I just head back by myself.

When I get their everyone is waiting for me so I quickly power shuffle my whole deck A LOT

Top 4
Charles w / GAG

Game 1
We both get awful starts. Except he gets Absol which disrupts my set up even more.
I am able to set up a baltoy and have 2 cards in my hand, a Bebe and Chompy LVX. He baleful winds the Chompy LV X :D I then set up a Claydol and just start to Comic Power everything I need.

Game 2
Pretty much the same. He baleful winds a lot of cards. Unfortunately he has a energy drought which made it worse.

5/0

Top 2
Lawrance w/ Hurricane
Game 1
This match was a joke. So I have only a Chompy set up and he has a Gatr. He gets 5 energy with with the power of Croconaw 0.o Who does that!!!! lol. He attempts to do Energy Cyclone with a DRE and a water energy but fails due to Beach. He tries to take it back since he has the windstorm in his hand but I tell him no since he already announced the attack. But then I make a careless mistake :( I have a Baltoy in my hand and an energy in my hand and I can easily just bench the Chomp and psychic balance for 3985729 cards since I know he can ko my Chomp. But no I attack >_>

That was a silly mistake on my part. I knew I had to focus and make no more screw ups.

Game 2
We both start off decent. I don't remember much from this match. All I know is I start to restore a few Chomps and get another 3 heads with Dragon Pulse ROFL. I think I was able to do it again in this match and got another 2 heads lol. I pretty much fanged everything else.

Game 3
I ask the judge how much time we have left and it's about 15 min. I start off with Baltoy and him with a Plusle. I'm about to turn 2 him with Claydol since I have the PP in my hand but he retreats to totodile to do 10. So I just KO the Totodile with the PP :D. He then starts to set up with Phione and makes my Chompy asleep. I get heads :) I then just start to play really quickly and have all the cards ready to play during his turn so it doesn't come down to time. Fortunately it doesn't and when time is called were both tied on prizes and he isn't able to bring out a Gatr so I fang ftw.
6/0

Props:
Edwin for helping me with the list. Jeez and to think I was going to play
Eeveelutions XD
Josef for the last minute fixes.
Aaron my man. Thanks for Chompy LVX. Wouldn't have been able to play the deck with out this card. Gotta love Dragon Pulse and Restore (though Rebirth sounds a lot cooler)
Seeing Brian and his crew. Aziz!! lol
Getting 3 heads twice with Dragon Pulse. ROFL
The judges ;)
Pulling Aerodactyl, Tops, 2 Glaceon, Penguin, Scizor.
Winning and going undefeated :D

Slops:
That silly mistake I made in the finals of Game 1.
Rushing back from BK for topcut
Brian for going 3-1 with his only loss due to him coming late.
A father at league the next day who asked me if I payed all my opponents to let me win. >_>

ROFL. Edwin played SUCH A RANDOM DECK. He WANTED to go 0-4 XD
 
gj dan

Edwin was the best. He realized during our round 1 match that he wasn't running enough Mantines for Palkia's 91861763817 retreat cost. <3
