We had a lot of GBA players at the Emerald PreRelease, so this time it should be an even better turn out. Get your GBA Team ready, gonna be a hard fight...but a fun one as well. :)
 
My sister is trying to become a Professor for this Event, she has to retake the test...so hopefully she passes it before the event. I will Judge if no one else steps up to the plate, but we still have time. :)

Well guys since Steven has already won his invite it shouldnt be tooo difficult to get my trip. (j/k LOL) Anyways my parents are gonna be out of town on this date, but I think my buddy Ryan will be able to convince his sister or mom to take us. And if not then I will WALK THERE IF I HAVE TOO!!!! (LOL) It'll probably only take me a few hours. (j/k)
All of y'all in 11-14 better watch out because Professor Elm is determined to get his trip!
 
Yeah, and Tracy has already got her trip too, so you're even safer. I'm just glad I won't have to face Johnny. There's ONE guy I have to worry about more than everyone else.

I'm guessing that would be me?
hehehehe

Well, it looks like I actually may be able to attend this one as well. Maybe I'll see you guys there.
 
Whicker and/or Shiloh Phoenix I would really like to play y'all before or after the Tourney, since I'm still in 11-14. So if y'all see me I will probably be in my professor Elm labcoat (thats really a karate robe). Anyways I hope to meet y'all there
 
Hope to see you all there...gonna be very nice seeing you guys again. I'm sure that the 15+ is still gonna be the hardest to win in...but you never know. I may Judge or not...my sister is trying to become a Professor so gonna have to see about that. :)
 
Frank I will have to agree with u on the 15+ being the hardest to win, but Steven and I are gonna show how good 11-14 is in SA.
It's gonna be da bomb. I cant wait.
