Quick update on Aaron Grubbs of Marble Falls, who competed over the weekend in the Pokémon Video Game World Championship in Hawaii.
Aaron was one of three American juniors to advance to the final eight in the tournament and placed seventh overall. For those of you who follow Pokémon, we’re told that his strategy was to use a “Water-based mono team.” His final party included Abamosnow, Hitmontop, Kyogre and Gyratina. He was defeated when he used a “Hammer On” with Metagross, but suffered a critical hit.
You can see more of the results and photos from the event on the official site.
