so after not playing pokemon since states i built a luxchomp erl in the car on the way to the tournament. when i got there my friend convinced me to tech in a gigas to help the sp matchup but it actually made the matchup worse lol. i also found out that there were like 10 machamps there and some of them even played mewtwo in them. anyway we had 6 rounds top 8 cut.

Round 1: Vs BLG
i start out with luxray to his Azelf and he goes first and passes. I do stuff and uxie for three and draw bad and call for 2 chomp. he sets up and does stuff with luxray. i dont get a cyrus until the end of the game and i kill his chomps with my chomp. he luring flames my gigas and i drag off stuff and take my last prize via chomp. gg
1-0

Round 2: Vs eli w/ luxray toolbox
he starts bad and i spray a key uxie and i snipe his luxrays with garchomp. he tries to draw into a cyrus but he cant and he keeps passing. I take my last prize with chomp and he showed me his prizes. 3 of them were cyrus'. gg
2-0

Round 3 vs jumpluff
ok i go first with luxray to his uxie and have a really bad hand and call for a luxray and a garchomp. he plays like half his deck and gets a jumpluff with a belt and a full bench. i topdeck a cyus and get out lux x and flash impact his pluff. we trade prizes thoughout the game and its 2-1 his favor. i can win next turn with erl and i lock up his active crobat with azelf. and of course he has a poke turn out of his 5 card hand when he already played 2 :/. gg
2-1

Lunch break i eat and play basketball with jason.

Round 4: Vs stuff
she starts out with a groudon and machop to my luxray. i psychic restore throught most of the game and she gets out a steelix somehow lol. i bright look her benched machop and play seeker and flash impact for the game. gg
3-1

Round 5: Vs Eric C w/ VileGar MEWTWO
alright he benches a mewtwo t2 but cant get out the lv.x. he brings up uxie and levels it up and i spray the power twice and ko the mewtwo with garchomp. he tries to set up vileplume but i snipe it so he goes and sets up a gengar. i end up koing it and he tries to set up another vileplume but i bright look his gloom and kill it. i kill his last gengar with luxray for my last prize. gg
4-1

Round 6: Vs Balziken/Dialga/Garchomp
i start out with lux and call for two chomp. my hand is really bad and i draw pass most of the game. the only supporter i play is lookers and use it on myself to draw 5 but draw bad. he just jet shoots while i try to set up but when i finally get out Garchomp lvx its 2-1 his favor and he snipes a uxie for his last prize. gg
4-2

Game 1: i get a much better hand this time and snipe all his chomp while he keeps luring flaming things. i take 3 prizes with garchomp and use erl to take the other three.
Game 2: pretty much the same thing as game one except i bright look his benched bronzong when he used 4 poke turns while its stuck there i snipe syuff and when he retreats it he luring flames my bronzong but i vs seeker cyrus to get a poke turn and use erl to take my last 3 prizes. gg
