I was up at 6 ready to go, and my brother and I headed down to the VA regionals. I thought that Regionals would have tons of people, but there were 16 Juniors (lucky Juniors, they all got prizes), and 45 seniors. I'm running Magnerock with Machamp, Gliscor is running Vilepluff, thefleece with Umbreon/Scizor. My brother is running a Yanmega Tangrowth deck.
Round 1, vs. VileGar
I get a ok hand with Magnemite, and a Luxury ball. She starts Gastly, but FORGOT TO Pitch Dark. I top-decked a tomb, luxuryed for Magnemite, (Magnet gives free retreat), and Darkness Graced. She collectors for Oddish, Mime, and Tomb. She Trick Gases, switching to the tomb. All I do it draw attach, and Darkness Grace for Magnezone Prime. I also but out a BTS. She draws, playes down the Vileplume line, and Darkness Graces for Haunter. I draw a collector, getting the Skuntank, Regirock, and Chansey, evolving the Chansey with Darkness Grace (I take my time setting up thanks to her slow set-up). She gets a Gengar out through Darkness Grace, and ends. I heal Spiritomb with Nurse Call, dumping a {F}. I Regicycle dumping 2 trainers next. I start getting out a SF Mgnezone my Darkness Gracing for Magneton. She, on her turn, attacks me with Poltergeist, for 60. I miss-played here because I leveled up, then used Poisen Structure. What I should have done would have been used Poisen Structure, then level up, getting rid of Poisen. She has a Gengar X out so I can knock her out. I Judge, Nurse Call, and do 100 to her, 110 with Poisen. She uses her turn, instead of setting up another Gengar, just Shadow Rooming Skuntank. I Nurse Call again, Dump trainers, and end. Her Gengar has 10 left. She doesn't retreat at all, just Flash Bites and Shadow Rooms Azelf. I knock out another Gengar ko, and its 2-4 on prizes, me (she knocks out Skuntank). I attack Gengar 150, and she flips Tails on Fainting Spell. The next turn I ko her other Gengar, gg.
1-0
SWD come in late because of the storm, with Donphan.

Here I meet armaldo1, whose playing Luxchomp.
R3, vs. LostGar
I get a nice hand setting up quickly. He Lost zones 5 of my Pokemon, I have 2 prizes left, the 15 minutes left has been called a long time ago. Instead of stalling it out, I just scoop.
1-2
R4, vs Jumpluff
I must not be shuffling well enough, so just see round 2 for this match.
1-3
At this point, it is annouced that there is a tornado watch. Joy. Also, a box is given away as a door prizes... to the person next to me. So close :/.

Tornado over. It missed us, but an awful storm continues.
R6, vs Scizor Flygon
I ko 5 Pokemon with Mchamp, annoucce that I don't want to win this way, and pass twice. He gets out a Scizor, knocking out a Machamp and spare Regorock. I do 300 with Magnezone for the last prize.
3-3
