Okay, so, I get there at like 12:50, and the tournament supposedly started at 1:00... but it actually started later. Po-Po-Pocchama gets 5 packs of IFDS from Bidier, while Blitz101 got 10. Po-Po-Pocchama got Raichu Lv.X, while Blitz101 got Dusknoir Lv.X and Machamp Lv.X. I didn't have any money. =(
Anyway, I get the one Groudon I still needed from Po-Po-Pocchama, and give Po-Po-Pocchama the one Leafeon Lv.X he needed. Po-Po-Pocchama is playing Leafeon/Grumpig, Blitz101 is playing NakiHatter, Gigabyte (my friend... he isn't very active here, but he IS on PokeGym) is playing Speed Empoleon, and Lucario-Master is playing Kingdra. I'm playing GrouDONK.
I was a Junior for the 07-08 season, but a Senior for 08-09 season, so I don't know what division I'm in (Juniors or Seniors). However, all the divisions were playing together, so I could face Masters. =/
Oh, yes, I broke my arm like a week before the tournament, so I was worried if I could play with one hand. I test a bit with Gigabyte, and I think I can play.
I put together my list the morning ofd the tournament, and make it, too. Here's the list:
Pokemon (6):
Groudon x4
Driftblim x1
Drftloon x1
Trainers (18):
Roseanne's Research x4
Buck's Training x4
Energy Restore x4
Quick Ball x3
Time-Space Distortion x2
Night Maintenance x1
Energy (36):
Fighting Energy x36
I was worried about Mewtwo Lv.X, so I teched in Drftblim, which could OHKO Mewtwo Lv.X for 3 Fighting Energy.
Note: I made this list in 2 minutes with NO testing at ALL.
Anyway, on to the report:
Top 8 cut, all 3-1s get in, 1 2-2 gets in, and whoever goes 4-0 gets in, too, obviously.
Round 1 vs. Gliscor/Jumpluff - Scorpio varient DIVISION = Juniors
I mulligan 14 times (I counted!), but finally get a Groudon. He gets Hopip start. He goes first, Benches a Baltoy, pass. My turn, attach + Drought. He goes, Evolve Claydol, Candy-Jumpluff, Wager, pass. My turn, I think I Bench a Groudon, attach to Active, and Major EQ, tails. His turn, he Benches a Gligar, attaches, passes. I attach to Active Groudon, and Major EQ, and I think I get heads. He gets Gliscors out and starts 2HKOing my Groudons with Burning Poison-Pester. His Gliscor Lv.X is Prized, and he doesn't run Azelf. He resorts to Jumpluff stall, too, but I get rid of that. I forget alot, but I remember that I won. GG.
1-0
So, Blitz101 won, Po-Po-Pocchama won, and Lucario-Master won, too. Gigabyte lost against Po-Po-Pocchama. I hope I don't get paired against Po-Po-Pocchama, because he has type advantage over me, and Leafeon is like an Auto-win against GrouDONK. Guess who I get paired against...
Round 2 vs. Leafeon/Grumpig (Po-Po-Pocchama) DIVISION = Seniors
I mulligan a bit, but get a Groudon start on his Eevee. I KO the Eevee T2, but he had Called and CFFed and had a Grumpig. He put up Grumpig, Evolve Eevee to Leafeon, and attach to Leafeon. I KO the Grumpig, and he risks it by pushing up the Leafeon. Guess what he draws. Leafeon Lv.X. He Verdant Dances for the KO, and it just goes downhill from there. I finally KO the Leafeon, but he has just 1 Prize left and another Leafeon on the Bench with 2 Energy. He needs an Energy, and he Cynthia's for 8... and gets an Energy. GG.
1-1
So, obviously, Po-Po-Pocchama is 2-0, Blitz101 is 2-0 as well, so both of them just need to win one more game to make it in. Gigabyte and Lucario-Master are both 1-1, like me. I know I pretty much need to win both these games to win, so I'm pretty worried.
Round 3 vs. Speed Empoleon (Gigabyte) DIVISION = Juniors
I mulligan just once, and he gets Pachi start, but NO ENERGY! I don't know he doesn't have any Energy, though, so I don't think I can win. Anyway, I go first for the first time, and attach + Drought. He goes, and I expect a CFF, but he passes, and I Major EQ for the game. This was my one and only donk this tournament, with a deck made for donking. =/ GG.
2-1
Po-Po-Pocchama is 3-0, beating Blitz101. Lucario-Master is 2-1, too, but I watched most of his game after my donk, and he called a judge because his opponent had proxied a Candy but didn't write anything on it (it was just the back of a card) (yes, proxies were allowed). That went on for like 15 minutes, which was really annoying, and he only got a couple extra minutes for time extension. Gigabyte is 1-2.
Round 4 vs. NakiHatter (Blitz101) DIVISION = Masters
Yay, my first Master! Lol! Anyway, whoever wins this gets in, whoever loses doesn't get in.
I, amazingly, don't mulligan, which is a miracle. He gets Yanma start, I with Groudon. He gets a Yanma and Dratini on the Bench, I think through Roseanne's, and gets Yanmega up after I kill his first Yanma. He switches my powered up Groudon with an unpowered up one. I power up multiple Groudons, while he does another 20 and switch, and attaches an Energy to Dratini, Evolve to Dragonair, and I do an awsome play of playing Buck's and then using Major EQ for the KO. I have another fully powered up Groudon on my Bench, and my Active only has 10 HP left. He attaches to Dragonair, and KO. I put up another Groudon, powered up, and Major EQ for the game. GG.
3-1
Po-Po-Pocchama is 4-0, beating Bidier in the last round. I make the cut as 4th or 5th seed. Lucario-Master beat Gigabyte, so Lucario-Master is in as 6th seed. This is my first Top Cut ever, so... I'm happy. XD
Top Cut is just 1 game per round, since we don't have time to do best 2 out of 3.
Top 8 vs. Blissey/Darkrai/Weavile DIVISION = Masters
I get Groudon start, he gets Darkrai start with Sneasel on the Bench. He goes first, attaches a Special Dartkness, and Darkness Slumber for 20. I attach + Drought, go to Sleep and wake up. =P He Evolves Sneasel to Weavile, Retreat, and Darkness Charge. He Benches a Chansey, attaches to Chancey, and does 50 to me. I forget alot of what happened, but I ran through his Pokemon. He only drew two Prizes the entire game. I also do 200 damage to a Darkrai Lv.X at one point. GG.
4-1
Po-Po-Pocchama won, and so did Lucario-Master. I'm up against Lucario-Master.
Top 4 vs. Kingdra (Lucario-Master) DIVISION = Seniors
He gets Bronzor start, I get Groudon. I go first, attach + Drought. He goes, attaches a Water, and Hypnosis. If I get heads, I win. Tails. He passes. Tails. Heads in between - yay!... He Hypnosises. TAILS! Argh... He Roseanne's for 2 Horsea, Candies twice to two Kingdra, and... I pretty much loose from there. All because of Sleeping, too. >.< He even admitted he would've lost if I didn't get 3 tails, I would've won. Also, to end the game, he Retreated twice in one turn to Upstream FTKO on my Groudon... so that was a misplay, but I let it go, since the chances of me drawing into a TSD were so slim, and he wouldn't get anything but a Caution or something, so I let it go... GG.
4-2
Po-Po-Pocchama lost to a Torterra.
3rd/4th Match vs. Grumpig/Leafeon (Po-Po-Pocchama) DiVISION = Seniors
Do I even need to explain this? He gets T3 Leafeon Lv.X... and he finishes with 300 damage on my pour Groudon. =(
4-3
PROPS:
Po-Po-Pocchama for doing well
Making Top Cut for the first time ever
4th
