R1 Janice K Empoleon & Omastar

She gets a rocket start and I figure out how good Pachirisu can be. She only gets out Omastar once but, it only kills my Claydol. I end up getting a Gardy X out FTW.

1-0

R2 AJ S G&G w/ Latilock

We both get really good starts and it is one LONGGGGGG match. I end up PLOXing him to stop his setup but, he comes back. The end of the game was a Scramble Pluspower Lake Boundary fight but, I end up winning with my Gallade.

2-0

R3 Brian C Gyradoes/Pidgeot(both)/Milotic

We have a nice LONGGGGG game with me getting a T2 Gallade on his Gyradoes. I find the true power of Battle Frontier when Pidgeot comes out and I Bring Down FTW in the very end.

3-0

R4 Matt K Infernape MD w/ Typhlosion & Raichu

I get a better start because I actually get some energy. He stalls out with basics will I just SPAM KOs. I easily swept through this game.

4-0

Finals Matt K Infernape MD w/ Typhlosion & Raichu

Game 1: We both start strong but, Infernapes bad HP is Gallade bait. He almost wins but, Bronzong MD has resistance -20, his attack, -20, and Matt's DRE, -10 for a whopping -50. I then use Pain Amplifier FTW on his benched Claydol and Pachirisu.

1/2

Game 2: I get a GOD hand with a Bronzor, Bronzong, RC, DRE, Roseannes, RC, Celio's. He goes 1st and does nothing (Resistance FTW). I draw, RC Bronzor into Bronzong, play Roseannes for a psy and Ralts. Attach a Psy energy, bench ralts and end. He evolves into infernape and attacks me. I draw, RC into Gardy and Telepass a drawing car for alot and setup even more. I start to rip through him with Bronzong and anything else I could through at him. I end up Bringing Down any of his Bench FTW:p


PROPS
- 1st
- my bro winning 4 BRs spring this season (2 weeks)
- my dad for driving me
- finally beating Matt, 3 times

SLOPS
- Geneses was not there with his crew
- cramped place
 
I really wanted to see if my deck chould take yours down... oh well, maybe next season Zach, good luck @ Barrie & Angus
 
Thanks Sean, do you do redshark? We can test there. I hopefully will pull of a Hat-Trick and win 3 in a row and my bro will win all 6 that we will go to for sure:p
 
Yeah, I had a blast battling you. It is also too bad that you didn't finish the game with my dad (the fun game that you had to stop due to Brian leaving). Are you going to come down again any time soon? It would be great if we could battle again (maybe at Worlds 09?)

BTW, what happened to everyones signatures?

Chatot was used in every single game throughout the whole game. Whenever my Active got KO'ed, I had an option to send up Chatot, draw and then decide what I wanted to play up. Chatot especially works wonders when you have it Active and you want to Lv.l up your benched Gardevoir for a Bring Down Ko or a nice PLOX. I love it
