For this Battle Roads I was playing Gyarados with a little twist (not Gyaradonk though). I went 2-1 and I won the Top Cut. So here's my report!:

Round 1 vs Reshiram

This round was pretty simple. I outspeed him and he couldn't get his reshiram out fast enough and had plain bad luck

1-0

Round 2 vs E/N/R

This was an interesting round. She got started with spiritomb and Reshiram and I started out with Sableye and Uxie. I set up first turn and dive into my deck with Impersonate to grab Regice and 2 Magicarps. She doesn't have any good luck and trys to set up Reshiram but, I knock it out w/Gyarados before she can do anything. The rest of the match is pretty much a slug fest and she gets 2 prizes and I finish it up.

2-0

Round 3 vs Sabledonk

Uggh, I knew I was going to run into this deck sometime in the tournament. I start with uxie and mespirit and he starts out with sableye. Nuff said

2-1

At this point there were 5 people with 2-1 so I was uncertain whether I would top cut or not. From the percentages I do so, it's me vs Sabledonk in top cut, FUN!

Top Cut

First Match

He starts out with Unown R and I start out with Sableye and Mespirit so, I get to set up first turn and then he took about 5 minutes to set up his first turn. We duke it out but, in the end my set up gyarados beats 3 sableyes with belts, he had 3 prizes left that round.

1-0

Second Match

I get a horrible start he gets all that he needs. Nuff said there too.

1-1

Third Match

Pretty much the first match but, I stalled him with psy bind so he couldn't do anything. He choose to scoop because, I was completely set up and he couldn't do anything.

2-1

So, I won the Victory Medal and the 4 packs (Which I have yet to open) so, it was a good day and now I have the Gold and Silver Typhlosion medals!

Props:

Buying 3 packs and getting Reshiram holo and the Gray Full Art Zekrom (Code packs too!)
The store for having us on such short notice
Winning like Charlie Sheen
Only the VA Beach League player winning XD
Dave for Hosting the Event
Everyone playing Reshiram, yay!

Slops:

My friends placing almost dead last :frown:
Running into Sabledonk

That's it for my report! Thanks for reading!
 
Yeah, but:
1) You're a solid player and would love the whole experience of Nats
2) You've had a good year in school, right? and this would cap that off nicely!
3) You will see fellow Virginians there and will have an absolute blast.
 
In the words of a wise young player (bradley):

"Go TO NATS! Even if you don't win a game, you WILL have the time of your life. Just... GO TO NATS!"

He was absolutely right. EVERY Pokemon TCG player should experience NATS at least once. For realz.
 
Grats Wavestripe!!!
Glad you did so well (especially since it was a new place and all).
Sorry I couldn't make it:(
