Hello everyone! Today I went to my Emerging Powers prerealese, and I decided to share this with you all.
I get there 30 minutes early and see Afro-G and sillykyle! It's a little bittersweet since Afro-G is going into Masters
() so sillykyle! is the only person I can annoy. Anyway, I play Kyle, and he's playing a really fun deck (which I won't mention here), which actually did quite good. Rosters are up, and I'm sitting across Kyle. We get our packs, and my pulls are like this:
Tornadus FA
No Catcher
Thundurus Holo
Audino
Bianca x2
My brother pulled:
Catcher x2 (1 RH :O)
Thundurus FA
Cheren x1
Bianca x1
Turns out the pulls weren't too bad for me, because I managed to build a nice deck out of it. The deck was something like this:
2-1 Swadloon
1 Torndaus
1 Thundurus
1 Audino
1-1-1 Scolipede
1-1 Simisage
1 Panpour
1 Pansear
1-1 Lilligant
2-1 Liepard
1 Sigilyph (the one with Quick Turn)
1 Basculin (with Final Gambit)
Total Pokemon: 21
2 Bianca
1 Recycle
Total T/S/S: 3
4 Grass Energy
4 Psychic Energy
4 Lightning Energy
2 Dark Energy
1 Water Energy
1 Fire Energy
Total Energy: 16
Random, right? But it worked fine for me. Kyle and I play a little test match (he used Audino too) and then the pairings go up. Zangoose showed up but never played cuz he was late.
Round 1 - vs. some Senior
All I see from this guy is Virizion. He didn't talk much, so I tried to get him to talk a few times. That didn't work. :/ Anyway, Virizion is pretty annoying at a PR, so I kept trying to attack it, and it kept healing it off with Giga Drain. Then I send up Swadloon, the one with Double Razor Leaf (2 coins, 50x the number of heads). It's got 50 damage on it, so I only need one heads to win. What do I flip? Two tails. He KOs Swadloon for the game. GG.
0-1
Round 2 - vs. a Junior
Lol, a Junior. My brother was the only other Junior, so there were two Juniors there. Anyway, he gets a nice start, and I get a bunch of Basics with a Bianca and one energy. I Bianca for 4 and get 3 energy and another Bianca. XD I start powering up a benched Audino while stalling with Tornadus. I see Virizion and I'm like "AHHHH", but once I get four energy on Audino, I flip 3 heads for the KO on that wretched thing. He makes a bunch of misplays (which I allow to a point, since he's a Junior and I knew I was going to win), so I get the upper hand. He evolves his Gothorita into an Ability Gothitelle. It's a little bent, and I'm all "No! I can't trade for that! Why couldn't I have gotten it...." I finish him off and end up taking all four prizes with Audino. GG.
1-1
Round 3 - vs. a Senior
You're probably getting annoyed at this point that I can't remember their names. Well, sorry. Anyway, I start Sewaddle and Sigilpyh to his many Basics. I topdeck Bianca (yus) and then start powering up a Sewaddle while he runs into an energy drought. He was probably worried he'd run too much energy, so instead he ran close to no energy. Anyway, I Bianca next turn after playing down everything I can and end up running into Swadloon. I use Double Razor Leaf and get lucky with the flips, KO'ing all of his Pokemon with Swadloon. He curses under his breath, but I pretend I didn't hear him. GG?
2-1
Round 4 - against not-sillykyle
This is against a Senior, and I'm downpaired. :/ I start Tornadus and Venipede to his two Woobat. I KO both with Tornadus' Hurricane by T4. GG.
3-1
So yay, I went 3-1, my brother went 3-1, Afro-G went 2-2 (I believe), and Kyle went 4-0. WOOOOO!!!!! I get my two extra packs, and get a Catcher and Braviary Holo.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
So yup, that's it. Thanks for reading!
