"9th? Wasted...."- A 9th place Richmond cities report!

     Hello fellow Pokemon players! My name is Evan Smith and today, I am going to give you my 9th place cities report for Richmond!

D@T Deck tho

                                                            

                                                                    Good ol' Vespiquen.

     I chose to play Vespiquen/Eeveelutions mainly because I am comfortable with the deck. Here is the list:

4 Combee

4 Vespiquen

3 Eevee

3 Flareon

1 Vaporeon

1 Jolteon

2 ShayminEX

Trainers-27

3 Professor Sycamore

1 Professor Birch's Observations

4 Ultra Ball

3 Level Ball

4 Battle Compressor

2 Acro Bike

1 Trainers' Mail

2 Parallel City

Energy-7

4 Double Colorless

     This is basically the deck I showcased in one of my previous articles, just with two Parallel City inetsead of 2 Lysandre and a Jamming Net.

The Report

                                                                Best. Game. Ever.

     I had an amazing time at cities with 9 Juniors, 13 seniors, and 55 Masters, making 77 total. The tournament style was one round swiss with a 30 minute +3 turns time limit.

Round 1 ??? w/ Bronzong

     This round my opponent started off with Jirachi and 2 Bronzong. He only got one Stardust the entire game and he dead drew the rest. Easy win.

Record: 1-0-0

Round 2 ??? w/ Tyrantrum/ Aegislash

     My opponent used Aegislash to wall the whole game, I sniped Bronzors, and made one misplay that cost me the whole game. That misplay was that I sacrificed the Combee without the Double Colorless and I only had one Vespiquen left, so I was left with no more snipes, and no way to attack. Game over.

Record: 1-1-0

Round 3 Anthony Cardella w/ Vileplume/Regice/Miltank

     This round decided it all, if I tied or won I still have a chance at top cut. If not, I won't make top cut. I offer an ID and it was declined. So we played it out and I ended up getting the early game lead and then it went to Anthony's favor resulting in a loss. GG Anthony.

Record: 1-2-0

Round 4 ??? w/ Seismitoad/ Crawdaunt

     This is the round that I took my picture of. I laid out how many Pokemon were in the discard to show the damage I did. Since I knew I wasn't going to make cut, I kinda had a lot of "Fun" with my last two rounds. The game went fully in my favor, the bee overpowered the toad. PLOT TWIST IN THE GAME: We actually ended with an ID no matter who won.

Record: 1-2-1

Round 5 ??? w/ RaichuBats

     This game I really didn't care if I won or lost. I started with ShayminEX and draw passed to see how long ShayminEX would last. 

Turns Lasted: 2

After actual game Turns lasted: 2

Record: 1-3-1, 9th place.

Thanks for reading, and until next time, test on!
