Streets of Seattle (if you wanna skip the sightseeing, the Pokémon pictures are all further down).
Walking towards the harbour
Seattle's fish market
More fish market
Vegetables were also sold here
These were actually alive for sale
Here you can see Seattle's high buildings as well as the water.
Here's an even better picture of the same thing.
A new building in construction to the left.
Professors preparing for Saturday night's Prof event.
TE member "Dutchpokemaniac".
Me ("Golduck") to the right, and Michel to the left.
My opponent for the first
round of the Prof event: "Purity".
I won.
Second round opponent: Steve P.
I lost.
My third round opponent, who also defeated me.
My fourth and final opponent
on Saturday. I beat him.
From the right: Michel's wife, Michel's daughter, Michael "DMTM", and finally Michel himself.
TE member "Sentimental Blastoise".
Original artwork by Mr. Arita. This very cool Gatr was given as a prize to the 11-14 World Champion.
And this Mewtwo went for the 10- Champion.
Me and Mr. Torii.
This is from the Team Play tourney I was judging. Near the camera is "Pokedad" Brooks and his son playing against Michel and Laetitia (behind).
Another game from the Team tourney.
The Theme Deck Challenge starts. I helped collecting the opened booster packs and empty deck boxes, and threw them into the bin. :)
People looking through their opened decks.
Vulpix and Ninetales! Lucky guy.
I judged a 8-player Single Elemination Gym draft. Here are the partipicants.
I felt sorry for the players losing first round, after having just built their deck.
The final match. Here's S. M. Sperling (white cap) and his opponent.
Sperling won the match by one prize card. It was a very close game, both players played excellent.
Here's the Top 4 of 11-14 and 10- (behind). You can see BDS and PokeMom judging.
More "Feature Match" action.
Two 11-14 Semfinalists battling it out. Those intense matches were very interesting to watch.
10- Semifinalists. So young, yet so talented. *Sniff*
King Ra hosts all sorts of on-stage entertainment. Here's some sort of dancing contest.
This girl did some crazy dance on stage. I think the prize was a Game Boy Advance.
The guy with the hat is of course King Ra. Did I mention he rocks? ;)
Side Events registration (what? You already guessed that?)
The guy with the pc is where we Professors handed in all the results entry slips.
This is TE member N. Doolub from UK.
Here are the Throphies. From left to right: 1st place, 2nd, 3rd and 4th (one for each age bracket).
The two winner trophies close up.
This is my opponent for the 5th round in the Professor Challenge.
I won.
This was my opponent for the 6th round, which I also won.
Mr. Torii plays a game with his Magcargo/Entei deck.
Mr. Torii VS my 6th round opponent.
The Top 4 in 11-14 get their trophies.
This girl is the 10- World Champion.
The Top 4 in 10-. The boy to the left was from Europe (Belgium). Good job, we're proud of you! :)
This is Mr. Akabane. He announced the name of the 2 new Pokémon games for GBA: Ruby and Saphire. He also told us that the cards to these games will arrive in Japan in February.
The two Champions! They both played Slowking. She played it with Donphan, he with Dark Gatr. Did someone say Grass?
The winners and Mr. Arita.
And here Arita gives them his original artwork.
Mr. Akabane again, but this picture is a bit unclear.
My last round opponent. I won first round with a Tyrogue against his Clefairy. :( Not a fair win.
