K so 2 weeks before worlds i was planing to go with my friend but then we had some problembs with rooms and everything, so it looks like im not going, then my other friend said i can stay in his room KEWL! oh and the two weeks before worlds i was on holadays so like no testing

DAY before grinders, we test alot at the hilton and i am set on a palkia deck have have problembs with the tech.
I finaly go for palkia luxray

Grinders

Round 1 Toolbox
i get a nice start with bind for 2/3 turns but then after i come 10 short of ko on dialga it starts going bad and in the end he was able to sweep with weaviles.
0-1 great thats the best way to start the day=(

Round 2 Gengar
at the begining of the game he brings out shaymin lv.X in JPNs so im thinking he plays shaymin in a fail grass deck.
he starts with gastly....come on man i was hoping for a easy win, w/e i do get a easy win cuz i just draged up his gastlys and ko them all and bind him till he has nothing.
1-1 YAY!

Round 3 kingdra
when we are shuffling i see a water energy and im like great a mirror but then he gets horsea start and im like yay kingdra.....not , i get fast ko's with luxray and keep the lock on but when i have him to only 1 pokemon he makes an epic comeback and the game starts getting good. after we start going prize for prize he dosn't have any nrg in his discard so i he cant OHKO my luxray lv.X and im thinking i have game BUT he plays super scoop up.......tails yay again.....tails NICE and again........TAILS OM FREAKING G that was epic, idk if even with the heads he could have won but w/e i win
2-1

Round 4 luxray/menetric
joy, like my worst machup
well i did get a bad start but i was keeping up with him most of the match with croak promo but i made a major misplay with bronzong G and my uxie lv.X and if i was able to get another nrg on toxiroake promo I may have won w/e
2-2 joy i have to win out

Round 5 blaziken,
i played this deck for canadian nats but i knew it had no chance agains legos so this was fun, for the few turns it lasted i was telling my opponent how he should have played it XD
he was only able to get 2 combuskins out and a heatran and i was able to sweap his somewhat setup.
3-2

Round 6 Beedrill
K well on T2 he got claydol and scooped it twice and he uxied and didn't even get a kakuna so he had a bad list or the worst draws ever.
after that i locked him and just didn't let him do much
4-2

Round 7 flygon
well he starts with uxie and i impersonate
he restores
i see he dosn't have much so i attach to uxie and restore him back
he still has nothing so i just restore him FTW!
i was happy and sad about that, i knew the flygon machup is hard but i didn't like winning that way.
5-2

Round 8 flygon
aww i hate this deck and i have to beat it
Well he only got 1 flygon out and i 2HKOd it and i just had him under bind and sprays so when he got another one out i just hydro shot Uxie FTW!

6-2 OMG ! I JUST GRINDED INTO WORLDS!!!!!!

Worlds
well i was thinking that playing my friends AMU was the best thing to do for worlds but i was having some secound thoghts so i just changed back to palkia/luxray with dialga tech for mewtwos.

Round 1 palkia lock
I was the one who got the bind first but i couldn't keep it and my setup wasn't the best so after he got rid of palkia lv.X i didn't have much to hit him hard for, it was still back and forth but i knew i needed to play perfect to win and i did make a misplay by not koing his palkia X on the bench and that costed me the game.
0-1 AGAIN!!!!=(

Round 2 Plox
so this guy said he was in T8 US nats but i cant remember what he played for it but i knew he was good
he got a ralts start and getting T2 palkia lv.X and the mesprit binds was all i needed to totaly not let him setup and sweep
1-1 YAY again

Round 3 Flygon
We both had bas starts but i got palkia and luxray out fast and he wasn't able to do much when he restuctured one of my pokemon and i got his palkia up, i had dialga l.X so he cant free reteat and i was binding him so he coudn't comsic to get warp. i Kod 2 of his benched flygons before he could do much then i just bright looked his trapinch and crobat drop to crush all of his hopes of winning, the game was pritty epic cuz most of the moves we did made the game long and interesting.

Round 4 mewtwo
Well this looks like an auto loss but this was funny
he starts with baltoy pass
i have a chatot actvie
i bench palkia and cyrus for energy and gain
i SP radar for crobat
i have 2 poketurns in my hand XD
retreat 3 bat drops and splashing turn for the game
he then shows me his hand of uxie and mewtwo and lv.X but he didn't want to bench them because I just had chatot, if i didn't donk i think i probobly would have lost

I have to go and ill finish this later.
