Ok, so DevOns making me write a Maryland Gym Challenge Report, so bare with me, because if ya know me, you know I'm bound to get something wrong. :biggrin:

Round 1: LBS VS Medicham/Medicham ex deck

My first round was pretty cool. The kid was extremly nice, and it was his first tournament in 11-14. I was able to get a Latias* along with a Holon's transiever along with a few other cards. I was able to get my setup right away. I was able to top deck a Pidgeot, and I already had evolved Pidgey into Pidgeotto with Jarachi during my secound turn, so I just set up extremly fast and Steelix ex did the rest, and he was unfortunate enough to never get out his Medicham ex, so I won.

1/0

Round 2: LBS VS Flaireados

So everyone thought I was going to lose this round (witch I kinda thought 2) but I just had an awsome start and pulled out my Blastoise ex and was just hiting over and over for the game.

2/0

LUNCH BREAK

Lunch was the best. Mr. Hill went to Eatzs with our orders and what I got was SOOO good, and was WAY better than Subway:tongue:

Ok back to the show

Round 3: LBS VS Slowking

I totally lost this macth. I tend to always lose my 3rd macth for some reason. What shut me down was the Lunatone/Solrock Combo, plus I had a sorta/kinda bad start and I just like plain out lost:frown:

2/1

Round 4: LBS VS LBS

MIRROR MACTH! So I knew from people who played LBS that to win a mirror macth, you needed to get set up fast and just knock out their Pidgeot before they knock out yours. So, with me being a luck sack that day i was able to get the first setup with Holon's Transciever and was just knock out after knock out.

3/1

Round 5: LBS VS Rock Lock

Ok, I couldn't remeber this game untill I was reminded through PM today (5/30/06). This game was extremely close, and I remember being extremly nervas during the whole game because I knew I had to win this won to be garunteed Top 8. I remember using my Lugia ex and Mex ex to one hit KO his pokemon, but before I remember using Steelix to get rid of the weeker things. I was also informed that if he had drew a Heal energy he could have won the game. Good job Patrick, ya did really good!

4/1


Top 8!

First Round: LBS VS Flareados (The same one)

1st Macth: Our first game was extremly quick, I set up my Blastoise ex and Pidgeto and he couldn't get anything:frown: so I just kept knocking out each turn for the first macth win!

2nd Macth: He actually got a better start this time. I went 2nd. He started with a Eevve, and attached an energy to call for family. My turn I trancieverd for the Mentor and set up. During his next turn he was used 2 Great Balls. My next turn I top deck a Steven's and draw for 4. From that hand I was able to set up the Blastoise and do the same thing that I had done to him the first game

Top 4!

Secound Round: LBS VS Arcanine ex

Ok DevOn, here's the part you wanted me to do so bad!

1st Macth: Our first game was close, but I was like the most luckiest person that day and drew everything I needed. I was shut down my Solrock and Lunatone for awhile but I had my Blastoise set up and knocked the 3 out; and of course after like 2 rounds of having Lunatone's gone I realize that I can Quick Search:rolleyes:. But from then on I had that game.

2nd Macth: We both got setups and my luck wasn't with me this round, I sortof had an energy near the end so he hit my poor Jarachi on the bench to take his last prize.

3rd Macth: At this point I'm stressed abit out, lol. It would all come down to this game. He started with 2 Lunatone's and a Solrock, and then he Moon Guidenced for a Swoop Teleporter. I drew, and then got the tranciever again to set up the whole thing and It was really really close at the end, but I was able to pull it off with a Lugia ex!

Top 2!

Final Round: LBS VS Medinite

1st Macth: If you asked everyone there who wacthed the game they would tell you, "HE GOT EVERTHING HE NEEDED!". It was a great game and my poor friend Will coulndn't pull it off at the end, this first macth was a 1 to 1 prize game!

2nd Macth: I really thought I was going to lose this macth at the begining! I started with a Latias* and a Squrtle, NO TRANCIEVERs:frown: , and he starts with a Magnite Call Beldom. He goes first and gets heads for Magnite Call. I draw, nothing! He draws and plays an ADMIN!!! I was SOOOOOOO HAPPY! I got the Tranciever, a Rare Candy, Energys, a Warturtle, a Holon Scientist! I was really excited now! I Holon Mentord for the setup and retreated for the Jarachi, I attached my energy and Made a Wish. THERE WEREN'T ANY PIDGEOTOS! I was like "great", lol. He does a bit of damage to my Jarachi, and its my turn. So I'm like "I NEED A PIDGEOT!", and he has like 10 cards in his hand, so of corse I play the Scientist. I got the Pidgoet and alot of the other cards I needed! He knocked out 2 of my Jarachies and then I brought out Steelix ex and started hitting things left and right. I HAD A GODLY HAND! I had all of the Holon Electrode in my hand, I set up another Steelix ex, and once i used 3 Holon Electrodes I Recievered them into my deck and i WON!!!!!!!!


I WON I WON I WON WON WONNNNN!!!!!!!

GOOD JOB WILL AND EVERYONE ELSE, YOU DID AWESOME!

W00t, you didn't spell my name "Devin" =D. Thanks for posting your report even though I didn't "really" make you... You left just a bit out on our rounds, like topdecking your Holon's Electrode too many times, but still good! Congratulations on the win, even though I am still a bit disapointed =( GL at worlds!
 
Hmm...if memory serves Head Judge right, some important things were left out of the report... Like that 3x consecutive ER2 failures..:rolleyes: Talk about good luck for you!!

Also, somewhere, there should have been 2x Pokemon Reversal noted. The reason? I believe that a Latias * w/ 1x Energy and Pidgeot (or some form of Pidgey) was on bench and 2x Pokemon Reversals had been flipped to bring the Latias * out. Had the call been for Pidgeot/Pidgey instead of Latias *, you might not have been able to Quick Search. Arcanine ex would have 100 OHKO your chances of survival as opposed to defeating a potential Latias * threat.

It was a big thing I noticed and bit my tounge on. Sorry Devon, couldn't say anything..but I really think you could have won.. :redface: But now that everything is over, and I've said something, it'll be interesting to see where this picks up...
 
pokemonforever: I see what your saying, but I new that Latios* would have completely wiped me out, and I was sure I was about to get that Solrock out, not to mention I had been admining and didn't think he would get Pidgeot. Also after talking to Hunter it turns out he had the energy to power that thing up, and after the first water I freaked. I wonder what would of happened had I picked pidgeot though...

Theres really no telling, I mean, technically, if you had thought about the Pidgeot instead you could have even rolled differently, lol, j/k. You did a great job, and good luck in other Gym Challenges Devon

I had played Flygod at the High Point Gym Challenge the day before, and I lost in the top 8 :frown: so I decided to use LBS since Flygod wasn't working just right for me. I had never played LBS before so when we got to the Hotel around 1:00, me and Michael B. played games untill about 3:30. I remember play testing against a different LBS, Qweendom, Typhlosion, and Flygod. I only lost the games against the other LBS, so I was kinda worried about playing mirror macthes.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:
