Hi im Brandon Jones in the senior division, and im from Utah. I attended the Colorado Regionals. I had alot of different decks i was testing, Gyrados, AMUPLOX, Garchomp (Stage 2) and LuxChomp. I decided to play AMU Plox early saturday morning, because i was most comfortable with it. Forgive me if i spell your name wrong or get something wrong from the match, please inform me if i do.

I get a duoble Azelf start and decide to start with the downer material one. I go 2nd, I time walk for ralts, play it then luxury ball for gardevoir rare candy. Use roseannes for mespret and Uxie. Attatch DCE to gardivoir then I psychic bind and use setup. End. She sets up Garchomp and luxray on her bench. Attatchs a special dark to her Absol and uses cyrus for some stuff then feint attacks ralts. last turn she hit azelf for 30. I played moonlight and attached to gardi and put a belt on gardivoir. Then i telepassed cyrus for wager and used it. I won and drew six. i retreat and psychic lock for the KO. She couldnt get much going after that. I used gallade to KO the rest of her pokemon. GG

R-3 Allen P. W/Gator Blissey
I got a bad start and couldnt get Gardivoir out for ever. I was down 2 prizes and 2 shoted his gator via expert belt and psychic lock. It took a while to set up another gator because no powers so he gave me some prizes. While he was seting gator up i set up surpreme blast. He hit Gardevoir, then i teleported and used surpreme blast. He couldnt do much after so he just gave me pokemon to kill. GG

Top 2 Pablo W/ Cursegar
Game 1
I start with 2 ralts, 2 rare candy, Pokedex, Pokemon communication, and a roseanes. i went first. dand :( i draw. i would have been fine if i went second so i could attatch an energy. He started with spirtomb, ghastly, and baltoy. he draws uses roseannes for unown q quicks his spirtomb retreats, rare candy gengar(curse) then attatchs warp energy and brings up spirtomb and used darkness grace for claydol. I was like wow that is a good turn 1! now im scared. i draw and cant play any of my now 5 trainers in my hand!!!! and just attatch and do some stuff. he just sets up another gengar and it took me forever to get out gardivoir and. he starts taking easy prizes with gengar then switching with spitomb. at one point i used lock up on spirtomb to stall. dont remember much more but after i killed spirtomb i got out alot of stuff and brought it to a 1-1 prize and then he cursed my gardevoir for 10 to put it at 110. then he leveled down for the win. GG

Game 2
same hands as game one :( but i started with azelf downer material. same stuff happened as game one. it was down to a 1-1 prize again and then there was only one way i could win so i played ralts attatched psychic to it and used hypnoblast and rolled heads! he was asleep and rolled tails. then ended and rolled tails again. i retreated and brought up azelf level up and deep ballance claydol for 5. 3 away from being KOed! I needed him to roll tails one more time for me to win. but he rolled a heads and then killed my azelf for then win. i asked him if he rolled tails would i have one? but he had a warp energy he drew that tirn so i would have lost anyway. GG

8-1

I lost 25 points alone to pablo because i was 200 points above him.

I was a little sad just because he got perfect hands both games for my 5 trainer hand i couldnt play and attatch an energy but thats ok 2nd is good too. i congrdulated him and went and told everyone what happened.
