The Seattle Tournament was a great start to the competitive season. A friendly staff, fronted by energetic emcee, had the event running smoothly and kept the crowds entertained. Several Pokémon were there to greet fans and pose for pictures. The battles started at 10:30 am, with the Senior Division going first. Then the Juniors battled it out. At the end, 4 contenders in each division battled to the top and will be advancing onto the Nationals in St. Louis, MO on June 27th.
