Epilogue

Alex and his droogs are out for a night on the town after a little Milk-Plus. We're here to join them on their misadventures, which begins with the good ol' Clockwork Orange engine. Might notice some slight variation here, and that's because this one is specially optimized for our night on the town. When first having a little in-and-out with this deck engine, I had thought to myself how much more proficient it would be if I could substitute Ultra Ball for a ball with no restrictions—and that's when I immediately stopped what I was doing to put this deck engine in its rightful place.

With Lapras or Manphy as our primary starter, we're looking to give our droogs the equality they demanded. Because theoretically here—we're living the past—so we don't have to make the same mistakes that our good ol' friend Alex once made. This proved to be his undoing at a time, so the dumbest thing we could do is let it become ours. With that said, we're looking to pull our droogs out of the water, and set them atop high. They demanded high theft—and Rare Candy is just the thing for that. It's going to take our boys straight to the top and make them all very happy men.

[Errand Running] is our primary ticket to this. By this power, we can close up any loose ends in our hands instantly. This is amazing potential for what we're doing here, and is why the consistency for Lapras is prime. As a backup, Bridgette and Misty's Determination are really great power-plays to make on our first turn. With Bridgette, we'll be looking for something like 2 Mudkip and 1 Manaphy. This gets our foot in the door sorta-speak, for the fun to begin, while also providing an emergency backup if we need more time to finish.

[Last Wish] is a great extension on the power of [Errand Running]—if you happen to need just one more turn—and one more card to put control of the game in your hands. Manaphy also gives us an extension on our primary starter for this same reason, which is much needed since the consistency of Lapras was reduced to three copies, to fit Keldeo EX in here alongside Kyurem. These two gentlemen are very important to us against item lock, which like all locks, can be a little troublesome for us. But with a little cunning—is nothing we can't to get around.

N is our backup to these two, enabling us a fancy reset, and possibly making our ends easier to meet. Professor Juniper is like our powerhouse, and potentially greater than N in our deck here. {Diving Search} simply takes Professor Juniper's potential to new heights. You can reach for her exactly when you need her, you can hold her and reach for another Supporter instead, or you can reach for obsolete Supporters (such as Bridgette) to discard and get them out of the way as an advanced tactic.

Professor Juniper mostly wants to get us to more Water energy, so we can power up our droogs Swampert for some heavy damage with [Hydro Pump]. And although we might not be making the same mistakes as our old pal, the therapy is still there if we need it in Chaos Tower. It has the power to quickly cure whatever ales us. Rough Seas as well, as a heal for our droogs, if we jump in for a swim with them after knocking them in ourselves. Let's be sensible afterall—nobody likes to be alone.

To top off the night, we have our lovely lady Glaceon EX, who is here to turn the tables on the story, and perform a little in-and-out on our opponents (instead of being the helpless one herself). [Crystal Ray] can stop our opponent's evolution Pokémon cold—putting Megas and other Stage 2 notably on the Milk-Plus with ice. After having her way with them, she might even fancy some more fun singing in the rain together, which certainly sounds like the night on the town I'm looking for.

Farewell, droogs.
