Hey guys! This is my B&W Prerealese Report:
Prologue: So I had to be pulled out of my soccer game 15 minutes early. Everyone asked where I was going, but instead of saying, "I'm going to play Pokemon!" , I said, "I'm going to a wedding ceremony."
They all bought it. We got the store fifteen minutes before registration ended, and I fill out my registration slip, pay my $25, and get a B&W deckbox (really cool) and a Darmanitan promo. There are 9 Seniors with 4 Rounds.
Pack opening: I start opening my packs and do the regular card trick to see my reverse and rare. I pull the following (just listing good pulls):
-Holo Zekrom
-Ultra Rare Reshiram (113/114) (cool!)
-Bouffalant (the good one with Revenge)
-Professor Juniper))
-Lots of T/S/S (including x2 Communication and one RH Super Scoop Up- after the PR's were done I switched out my HGSS and UL versions of these cards and put one of each in)
-RH Serperior (bad one without ability)
-Zebstrika (okay)
My decklist consisted of Grass/Electric, and a Reshiram and Bouffalant tech. The Bouffalant because it was actually really good, and the Reshiram because I wanted to.
2-1-1 Serperior
1 Zekrom
1 Reshiram
1-1 Pansage
2-1 Zebstrika
1 Bouffalant
1-1 Lilligant
My borther pulled the good Maractus(in RH form) and a Klingklang Holo, but not much different than me. One kid ended up pulling a Pikachu (115/114), and nobody I knew pulled a Zekrom.
Round 1- vs. Thomas Arena
So this guy's #2 in compeditive TCG battling when it comes to rankings, but I'm not nervous, because it's a prerealese. He tells me he wants to lose all of his games, and I end up KO'ing his lone Zebstrika with Bouffalant after he takes a prize from an Active Snivy (which was intentional). GG?
1-0
Round 2- vs. Ryson Smith
I almost burst out laughing when I see his purple sleeves. I don't know why it was funny, but it just was to me. I donked his lone Purrloin with a Zebstrika T2. GG, I guess.
2-0
Round 3- vs. Andrew F. Mikels
I played this kid at the CoL prerealese, and he beat. I was searching for revenge, and we actually played out a really good game, exchanging prizes for a while. After he killed my Snivy with Krokorok (90 HP), I sent up Bouffalant to finish the job. He couldn't recover and sent up Pokemon for me to take cheap prizes from. It was my best game all day.
3-0
Round 4- vs. Robert Hoffman
This was one of Thomas's friends, and he was 3-0 so far. I'm a little nervous when my start is a Pansage and Reshiram with a few energy and an Energy Retreival. He goes first and starts with Patrat. Here's the thing, though. Patrat's only attack is for C and does 30. If you flip tails, it does nothing. He goes for 5 turns and flips 5 tails. I topdecked my one Professor Juniper, discard my hand, and 4 Basics, 2 Energy, and a Pokedex show up. One of these Pokemon was a Pansage, and I hit with Seed Bomb twice to KO his Patrat. He brings up a Servine and uses Wrap and passes. At this point I have two Prizes left. I hit his Servine with Pansage's second attack, in which you flip 3 coins, doing 40 damage times the # of heads. I flip two heads, and the Servine is KO'd. He sends up a bad Basic (I think it was a Tepig) with 60 HP, and thinks he will survive if I flip two tails. I don't attack with Pansage, though. Instead, I retreat, bring up a charged Zebstrika and hit him for 70. I won! GG!
4-0
The standings go up, and I'm in first place because I'm the only person who went 4-0. My brother places 2nd out of 5 Juniors, so I'm really happy for him too. I'm not opening my 2 extra packs until tomorrow, but my brother opened his packs and pulled a Holo Zoroark, an RH Serperior(the one with the ability), and a Bouffalant.
Epilogue: So I know that I'm overreacting to a 1st place and a 4-0 in a Prerealese, but I've never gone X-0 AND gotten first before. I was really happy, so there is no way you can destroy my joy.
Props:
-Awesome pulls
-4-0 AND First place!
-Brother for getting 2nd
-Giovanni's (good food!)
Slops:
-not going to the Draft because I didn't have enough money
Edit: I couldn't wait any longer so I opened my extra two packs. Pulled a Reshiram Holo, a Liepard Rare, and another Professor Juniper. Nice!
