    It'd be embarrassing to lose to her due to age difference. But hey, good luck to her. And she gets to go on a nice holiday, even if she doesn't seem to appreciate it as much as the contest opportunity.

      yes. it's embarrassing to lose to a 10 year old girl, but not embarrassing to be playing pokemon in the first place when you're not a ten year old girl.

        Oh my, please allow me a few moments to recover from your incredible wit. Clearly it's impossible for somebody to grow up with a series. What a sad life you lead, spending your time trying to be witty on the internet at the expense of others.

    I should play in a league... I think I could do well.
    I wish her luck and hope she becomes champ!
