Hello there!!

I've been quite lazy so I have not entered to DA recently. I answered all the messages and thanked all the favs (Thanks again, guys! n_n)

The week before last one (friday 29th) I went to a PKMN Platinum Tournament, the first one sponsored by nintendo , so I decided to participate. I spent the whole week in competitive training (you know, all that EV stuff, strategies, etc.), this was my first time doing that, so I got a bit nervous, as a novice I didin't think of wining in my very first tournament(the first prize was a DSi =O), but I didin't want to s**k at it neither.

But I got among the BEST 20 players (out of... 60??) that passed the preliminaries, and I was the ONE woman xD (a lot of people congratulated me, it looks like competition is not girl's territory =/)

And guess what... I didn't like cometition... I LOVED IT!! the atmosphere in the tournament was very very nice, there was fair play everywhere, and the best of all... everybody in there loved pokemon in the same way as me!! (it sounds obvious, but it feels so great!! xD) The battles were amazing, everybody quivered with them, cheering their friends and pokemon.

That was seriously a big day n_n I want more tournaments!! yay!! I'll begin training more pkmn x3

I think that's it for now... I'll be submiting something in these days, I was finishing my beta-reading in Himi before doing anything :3

See you~

PD: I've sent a video of one of my battles to the network, you can watch it at the GTS in Platinum, search for the trainer Mari~ xP
