I have to go to a buddy‚s apartment to get to milford the next day. I make it all the way to clifton park after 3 calls,a mess and a missed part of directions. i finally make it after my buddy finds me searching by house for his apartment complex. It was funny. I made it and the night went well. His son devon who played in the 11-14 the next day helped me fix my gator deck and i battled it through the next day. One time they showed me the entire base set and for the first time with my own 2 eyes i got to see the 1st edition base set charizard. I sat there with wide open eyes saying ohh my gosh this is beautiful. After that It ended up i lost every battle and learned my flaws with the deck. I need to run it better and my luck is never there. The next day is on the rise and we all head to bed. Me and devon stayed up a little bit more to play cards and even though we tried to play so quiet so his dad didn't hear us it took a call from Ben's g/f to wake him up and after that w e went to be because we were both tired. I ended the night with a VERY close loss to devon.

We all woke up and eat cereal as we wait for johhny blaze and his group to arrive. We see him get in and get ready to roll on to milford., After 3 hours,a dose of fun and alot of new things learned we make it to TJ‚S store in milford. We gte downstairs to see TJ had really fixed the place up nice. he has knocked down the wall blocking both areas,widened the spaces,added video games and new furniture and has got new registration table. We all gte in and me and greet. The best part was in the first 2 minutes i meet up with charwolf and LuMaga1. Its odd after meeting marill in a 1 minute time i found one of the hardest hits of the day which wont be the first. MasterMarril2k informed me that Purity's home and isent coming due to she had to treat vash a nd his ear infection. This was #1 of 2 in the first hour. I end up getting back to ray a nd telling him this to later find out that his sister grace wont make it either. :( This all led to alot of sadness but i let it pass. We all had to get pre registered for the 15+ as the main event was getting set up. After everyone got suited up for the 14- and 10- we all say good luck to nick chimento and devon mancini who are the champs from the last TJ‚S event. As the 14- and 10- getkicked off the 15+_ starts up. I go ion confident gator will be a power deck. Here now the rounds start.

Round 1:

Me vs Ben Mancini

This is not alt to talk about because due to me going 3X as fast as i should of with gator i deck in 5 turns and ben didn't even get the chance to get his deck up to speed because i screwed myself. I would of had a chance if i got the heads on the final fl;ip but ohh well.

0-1

Round 2:

Me vs a a fire deck. I cant remember the deck or who played it that well. Sorry!

This was a battle where even though i was the slower of the two he didn't hold up as much offense as i thought he would of and my slow offense and strong defense led to me getting a slow but easy victory. I actually was gonna wrath against his cleffa leaving no hand but since time was gonna be called i pulled back wrath and won by prizes,2-6

1-1

Round 3

Me vs Char Wolf:

This was interesting because char wolf was suppose to be 2-0 but since a mistake with the sheet led to char wolf putting the win ion LuMaga1‚s area and not his he had to settle with 1-1. he got so angry he slammed his deck box on the ground and even though no one else saw it johhny blaze said smoke came from it and I was scared to face him. It was a good battle with one totodile and leer for 4 turns with one heads on focus band i had to go 5 turns against him with that one dile till he got me with cyndiquill and since leer died i had to flip on the 2nd band and it failed. After shaking his hand i found ny next 3 cards were: suicane,mistys wrath and a other totodile so i was screwed by luck.

1-2

Last match

Me vs Johnny blaze

I had the upper hand and walked up with hater against his grass combo. I was stuck when he got a dark foretress up for the kill and luckily i got off a band and killed the fortresses but now he has syther ready to kill and he took me out. I ended coming with gator#2 and after a prize run of 4 rockets syther stopped him and blaze led on to win with his combo coming from 5-2 to 0-2 and taking me out.

I ended 1-4 and 10tyh of 12th. :) ray ended 5th and lest his first round to time battles Ben who went undefeated in 4 rounds also lost in round one Johhnyblaze took 2nd place i forgot who got 1st As the finals ran down i went on to see nick chimento ended in 3rd which isent a bad 2nd showing Devon mancicni has a contrevesol last match which to one person was called a cheated loss but too all saw it was devon coming in 2nd He went the distance going on 1 prize all after his suicane having to pull off a massive dose of power when gators band failed. The oppoennet goit his typhlosuion built and his fire recharge work top rip up suicane and make it down to a 1-1 prize battle and leave devon with babies. devion found if he gets 20 damage on typhlosion he gets the victory. This led to him sending up a cleffa nnd eeeking. The opponent went in to fireburst devon and get the heads. now this is where he has to hit heads or its sudden death. He hit heads and it led to devon coming in 2nd.

After that intense battle,the day winded down and we find out there will be NO booster draft due to TJ‚S staff wants to close down early because they went 13 days straight and want the night of to bring the staff to see spider man. Charwolf was so steamed because of this but everyone else understood this including me. We weren't happy but there was nothing we could do about it. We said our goodbyes and char wolf left as well as marril. I was on the w ay out with ray when i found out that alka-deta who was in front of my face the entire time was the one man i didn't expect. He looked at me with that face of: We met 4 times joe and you never knew it w as me?? I laughed and said no with ray looking at me in shock that eh didn't know that i dident know either. I shook his sand as i said goodbye. I said good bye to the judges and TJ‚S staff. We got out a nd found johhny blaze and his crew were gonna dine at wendy‚s so me and ray followed them there and when we were about to enter ray got a pic of all of up in front of Wendy's. He will have his pics up soon. Inside it w as a fun dinner. One time during dinner adam was asked to go get john a junior cheeseburger plain and he returned with a fully dressed junior hamburger so dave had to go up and get t fixed. It ended in the cheeseburger making it back. We finished and all went outside. We said goodbye and me and ray headed for the 3 hour journey home. We made it back safe and im must say i was happy i took the journey to Clifton park to get here. It w as well wroth it.
