Back to Tokyo for one final stop in Japan before we depart for Honolulu. Couldn't spent much time in Fukuoka and were very tired from the Kumamoto journey, but we still saw some cool things. Castle Ruins, Ohori Park, Seaside Park and went for food to the Ichiran main restaurant!

Last day in Japan is coming to an end. Leaving for Honolulu now, Tuesday evening and arriving Tuesday morning. Time travel is real. Went to One Piece Emotion today, which is only this month in celebration of the animes 25th birthday. Cool last activity for an amazing Japan trip.

Top 4 Cup with Henry Brand Banette. Undefeated till then, but started playing worse and this deck doesn't take kindly to that. But very fun deck for sure! Not sure I can go for Worlds this year cause of life stuff, but I'll just play cool decks and see where the season takes me.

Played Drago to a top 128 in Dortmund! Wasn't very motivated to prepare a lot, so any day 2 finish is much better than I expected. Day 2 my play left a lot to be desired, gotta improve my Regional routine to be less tired. List was good, but not sure about the Night Stretcher.

Started 4-1 in Gdansk only to see it go up in flames R6 and R7. Featuring highlights like seeing 3 of my 5 last deck cards to have the match winning last 2 energy be the bottom 2 or don't finding 1 match winning candy in the top 21 of my deck. Well, on to Stuttgart I guess!

Played turtles in Stuttgart. Like Gdanks I started hot but then whiffed 2 win and ins to day 2. Don't really spent much time on Pokemon at the moment, only started to prepare a little the wednesday before. Probably have to try a little harder for Birmingham and EUIC.

7-0-1 day 1 into 1-5 day 2 for a top 256 finish at Frankfurt Regionals. Really puts into perspective for me how much I need to work on my endurance for long tournaments. My condition and play was just much worth in day 2. Deck was amazing. Galvantula ex MVP!

Played it out at 5-2 in Lille, tied anyway. Not amazing but hey, two day 2 in a row, happy with consistency.

Day 2 in Stuttgart. Run is already cooked after Toine Lay (@toinelay.bsky.social) and Pokequadrat crushed my dreams in round 8 and 9. Should have teched for mirror. But third day 2 in a row, quite happy with that at least.
