Hi everyone! This is my first report on a prerealese, so go easy on me.
1)Preparation
2)Boosters & Deck
3)Round 1
4)Round 2
5)Round 3
6)More Boosters
Props and Slops
Really Weird Things
1) It didn't take me long to prepare, though I was super tired this morning. We left at about 9:50 and got there at 10:45-ish.
2) So I get there and open my boosters. I open my first pack. A shiny Rayquayza. SWEET. Next booster. Rare Rayquayza and Lost World. SUPER SWEET. Next booster. All I know was I pulled a RH Research Record. The others were meh-ish. So I build a Psychic/Fire deck with Relicanth for draw power and Rayquayza for randomness.
3) I start with a terrible hand, with no Relicanth. My active is a Magby, and I have a Slowpoke and Cyndaquil benched. He goes first, and KO's my Magby with Tyrogue first turn. I know I'm gonna lose. A bunch of turns go by while I attach energies to my active Slowpoke and Cyndaquil. I hope for a Slowking or a Quilava, but that doesn't happen. Then I'm about to scoop after he kills my Slowpoke when I become curious to find out what my topdeck is. I draw a Quilava. WOW. I have 3 energy on it and Flare for KO. He keeps sending up babies until he has a few energy on his Dialga. He attaches his third energy- a Special Metal Energy. I go and play down Lost Remover, then Flamethrower for my last prize. GG.
1-0
4) This was the most epic battle out of 3 rounds, mainly because we went back and forth with prizes, until he pulls a Donphan on me. One thing I like about Prerealeses is that you can find non-metagame cards very helpful, or a hindrance. He pulls a Donphan on me and Rock Hurls for a few prizes. By this point I'm behind 2-1 in prizes. I Timid Tackle with my Granbull for a prize, and he makes a surprise move. He attaches a Fire Energy to his Eevee, evolves into Flareon, and Flame Tails my Quilava with 50 damage on it for game. GGG.
1-1
5) This game was short. He wanted to lose and kept Lost Zoning his Pokemon w/ Relicanth so he could play down Lost Zone to let me win. NGG.
2-1
6) So I get my Snorlax promo, my two extra boosters, and I buy three TM boosters, and I pulled the following:
TM
Seeker
Spiritomb
x3 Indigo Plateau
not much else
CoL
Shiny Deoxys
Lugia
not much else, I think

Weird Things
The only shinies I pulled were Rayquayza and Deoxys. I got both shinies and their rares, but no other legends. Also notice how they create a LEGEND...
Topdecking Quilava as I was about to lose in round 1 and winning
Telling a kid I would play him and I ended up facing him(I lost that round)
RH Research Documents
My brother's Jirachi "misprint"(it had a white dot over the rarity symbol, can anyone tell me what this means?)
