When it comes to playing a game by the rules it is all to evident that my boy is an Evans to the core and therefore plays by his 'OWN' rules. Case and point are clearly demonstrated just the other day when Baboo asked if someone would play Pokemon with him. I of course said I would, however, I would need him to teach me. Boy did I leave myself wide open with that comment, especially with his response of 'we can play by my rules'. After being handed a deck of approximately 315 cards I was instructed to fan them out 'face up'. Baboo, already "knowing" what to do had his deck fanned out in no time and placed a very shinny looking card directly in front of him. "Ok Dadoo, you pick a card". My card no sooner hit the carpet and Baboo exclaimed he was using a 'Bright Wing' attack and that my card had been defeated. (Blank Stare on my face.....) He swiftly snatched my card, removing it from play and advised that I should pick 5 cards this time.
Ya, totally lost I asked him to show me how to tell a good card. He was a very patient teacher and walked me through what the various numbers on the cards meant. With this knowledge I chose my cards. Baboo had also made his selections and placed them by his shinny card which had maliciously defeated my first card. "Now Dadoo, we flip this coin... red is heads, black is tails" (what... coin??? where the heck did this coin come from) "If it lands on tails I attack, heads you attack. Before I could utter a word the coin was flipped and Baboo had called 'Tails'.... Time stood still as I saw the coin come to rest...Tails! (I'm still in a state of shock over the events which followed) After declaring another 'Bright Wing' attack, Baboo informed me that all of my cards had been defeated and now we had to place all our cards out.
In the blink of an eye he began to shrink into the distance as he laid his army of cards before me. "Um...Baboo... why are we laying our cards out?" I questioned, to which he answered "Because I won the 1st battle and now we are in the BONUS round" (Bonus round ??) Seeking more clarity I asked "So what happens during the Bonus round?" "Dadoo, I add all the powers of my cards together and attack your cards" "So, Baboo... how much power do 'you' get by laying your cards out. Baboo's response totally sums up this blog entry..... 'Dadoo, its INFINITY'
