This is my first report so we will see how it goes. For the last two months I knew I would only get to go to one Gym challenge, so I knew I had to win this to get my trip. So I took the deck I have been working with since states, Flariados with/Techs. Let's cut to the chase shall we?

Round one-VS.????
I got an eevee start and she got a pinser(the hidden legends one) and a chansey on the bench. I go first and I dual ball for an eevee and lapras, then I attach an energy to eevee and call for family to get spinarak. She attaches an energy to pinser and passes. I retreat the eevee bring out the spinarak evolve it to ariados and play down flareon ex and evo flame it along with reactive poisen for the K.O. . She then brings outchansey and attaches an energy and sings. I flip and wake up and start my turn. I play down the lapras I got, grabbed PETM with it's power and used PETM to get Flareon ex evo flame rective poisen, then she flips for burn K.O. and has no more bench I win.
1/0
Round two-Vs. Zap-turn-dos
I didn't expect to see this today, but it was like the easiest thing to beat besides round one. He got a pikachu start and and I got spinarak and eevee benched he goes first attaches to pikachu and plays a pikachu and electrike on his bench and does 10 damage. I attach an energy to spinarak stun poisen and it is succesful. He attaches to the beched electrike and passes. Evolved into ariados and killed pikachu. He sends out electrike and recharges. I play down flareon ex and an eevee and attach to eevee. Then I kill it with the combo. He send s out pika and attaches to a benched pikachu and Warps point, I send out Eevee. he passes. I attach Holon's evolve it to Espeon and snap tail the b enched pika and from there on snap tail whwere the energy is.

Fox rocks. I'm glad to see that you won a trip with a deck that you've been working on for quite some time. I owe the Lapras idea to you, you owe the Espeon ex idea to me, hah. Great job on the win, and I will see you at Nationals/Worlds. :thumb:
 
Hopefully you consider the changes I mentioned to you, and you did a nice job and made a good 11-14 metagame assessment to use Flariados.

Lunasol has a tough matchup against Flariados, and even if Julien didn't misplay- I still think you had the advantage in the matchup, so much so that Flariados is the only reason I didn't run Lunasol myself at the Kissimmee Gym Challenge.

Congratulations, and I'll consider what you said in your PM and get back to you soon enough. I have a lot of new incoming member applications to consider, including yours. Team R currently has 6 members going to worlds, and more if you count possible incoming members.

Team R will dominate the 11-14, watch it.
 
Congrats to you and all the players and winners at the Tampa Gym Challenge. I'll take that mewtwo * from you though......
