Trivia:

- This tournament was by far the most hyped tournament I've ever hosted.

- Sakura vs. Sanna was THE MOST HYPED MATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT! It ended in a tie, but Sakura advanced due to her Darmanitan being the last attacker, with Flare Blitz.

- Team 3Way is the only team to have their team leader absent, as well as the only team to have a member absent in general. Team 3Way is also the only team to not win any games.

- Ensane is the only member of Team Three Star to remain undefeated throughout the tournament.

- Denzel is the only member of Team 5D's to remain undefeated throughout the tournament.

- Poyo is the only member of Team XR to lose a game throughout the tournament.

Well It was fun I'm happy I was able to please the crowd.

Lol, this tournament was a major success! I loved Sakura vs. Sanna, :3, my team member came back with a huge disadvantage(Pokemon-Wise..since she was down 1-3) and managed to not only tie the game, but win it by being last attacker. You're awesome, Sakura!

Ink's team....I feel bad for Raina and Ren LOL, 'nuf said. (Team 3-Way)

Austin's Team (Team Three-Stars) Were epic! They did really well!

Sasab's Team (Team 5D's) were really good of course (due to the fact it had Sanna vs. Sakura). Also, i really enjoyed the battle I had with Sasab xD and I believe he did also!

Jamal...We had everything planned against you, every strategy was set in motion so that we could attempt a strong defeat, but I'm still proud our team got as far as we did!

In the end, I don't really care that the order we wanted was mixed up, because I know your order was also ruined XD. Still though, I really enjoyed playing against Pro, and watching Sakura vs. Poyo, and not to mention Gold's attempted win it or lose it battle with you!

Congratulations Team "XR"!

SAKURA VS SANNA WAS THE BEST MATCH EVER! Sanna would've won if he had used Substitute.

I was the only one who won on my team!

Oh well, I guess I'll do better next time! Congrats to Jamal, Pro, and Poyo!

Everyone did good ^_^ Except Ink LOL

Sakura's battles were fun to watch especially with her vs Sanna! xD

Congrats Team XR

1. Team XR (Jamal, Pro, and Poyo) - Good game, you guys are really good, all 3 of ya! Too bad you guys are disbanding, but it's fine. Also Pro, we had a good match! I almost got you, but your spikes ruined my game! Nah, but still, GG. Congrats on 1st!

2. The Yellow Flashes (Gold, Tyson, and Sakura) - Didn't battle any of you in the actual tournament, you guys are still hella good though. Congrats on 2nd!

3. Team Three Star (Austin, Brandon, and Ensane) - 3rd place? Not bad! Definitely better than what we could have done seperately, atleast for me, anyway. Thanks for being my team mates, you guys were great!

4. Team 5D's (Sasab, Denzel, and Sanna) - Last night you basically told everyone besides the top 3 I guess to "Just get better", even though you beat me in our actual match, my team won. I would be a bad sport and say "Just get better" to you aswell, but nah! GG, you guys did great!

5. Team 3Way (Ink, Raina, and Ren) - Sorry your leader couldn't make it... We still had 2 great matches though! GG, you had me worried there for a minute, Raina!

Great tourney, we need to do this again!

That was the most super, special, awesome, hyped-up tourney in the history of tourneys! =D It was so much fun! X3

The Yellow Flashes - WOOT! WE GOT SECOND! XD Tyson, Gold, you were both amazing to have on a team. We kicked butt! And although Team XR beat us in the finals, I couldn't have asked for better people to be teamed up with. ^_^ Awesome job, you two! =D
-Tyson - I still wonder how you and Gold can switch between teams so fast. XD You fought really well in all your matches! =D Pika users FTW! XD I have to say... Thanks for asking me to be in your team right from the start! We did a great job, you, Gold, and I! The Yellow Flashes together through thick and thin! XO
-Gold - Our Team Captain! (And our deciding factor on if we could enter the tourney or not XD). You gave us our name and stayed with us till the end. Second place together and lots of epic matches we went through together. I must say, it was lots of fun! ^_^
If we can all be a team together again for another tourney, I'd greatly enjoy myself again like I did today! ^_^

Team XR - Dang... 5-0... I must say, that was a brutal battle we went through together. But it was all good fun!
-Pro - I didn't see your battle with Tyson. ^^; But you did very well all throughout the tourney! =D Too bad we didn't get to battle together like my team hoped. XD And I have to say, I do like the faith you put in your team. That bet you proposed for Jamal and Gold to battle... it was moving how much you believed in Jamal. ;~; I have to say, you're a good man, Pro. XD
-Poyo - Geez! What in the world is that Tyranitar on!? A 6-0 was a brutal defeat for me. XD Even if Bellossom's Sleep Powder missing decided the match, it was still a really cool match to be a part of! Still... that was one scary battle. It scarred me more than Jamal's Garchomp did. XD
-Jamal - Epic final match between you and Gold, Jamal. I have to say, you really are the PokemonMaster...3. XD Your username fits! 3 for you, Pro, and Poyo. Though I must say... your name needs to start with a P. You'd be the all P team! XD An amazing tourney you set up, Jamal. I hope to participate in another one like it soon! XD

Team Three Star - I must say, I'm very impressed with how far you guys made it. You were looked on as the underdogs, but here you are, at 3rd place! Which matches because you have the number three in your name! XD You all battled very well, surprising the competition! Well done! =D
-Austin - You did an amazing job out there in the battlefield. Though you didn't beat Denzel and Pro, you did come close and planned out tactics with your entire team to help you all make it to 3rd place. I know you normally don't like tourneys, but you did very well in this one. I hope to see you in more tourneys! =D Also, since Seth wasn't here, I'll say it for him. You did well with that Gastrodon and held on to the end. HERO0 ...Okay, I did no justice with it, but you get what I mean. XD
-Ensane - Wow! You really surprised everyone today! You battled very well, and won all of your matches! Well done, Ensane! You made it to the top 3, so you better make sure you stay ahead and up here! XD
Brandon - Is it sad I didn't know your name was Brandon before? ^^; But, overall, you did a really good job! =D Yours and Ensane's battles are the ones that got you to third place against Team 5D's! Good work! =D

Team 5D's - I didn't really expect Sanna to be on a team with Denzel and Sasab, but you all fought really hard together. I have to say though, battling Denzel and Sasab after tying with Sanna was a lot of fun. XD And Sanna... BEST. MATCH. EVAR!!!!!!!!! XD Though you guys got 4th place, you all battled really well. You should all be very proud. ^_^
-Sanna - Bro... that match was so hyped up! XD Wow... My heart's still beating fast from all the excitement from it. XD Though Denzel says you would have won, I'd say tying with you was still great in the end. And despite what Poyo said about the match deciding which one of us is older... You know I'm still older. ;D
-Denzel - You really did fight hard for that tie to be counted as Sanna's win. You are a really good battler; you winning all your matches is proof of that. XD Overall, you did well in this tourney, Denzel.
-Sasab - I hear you didn't like some of Tyson's Pokemon. XD But hey! You still did great in this tourney! =D Let's battle in the next tourney! ;D

Team 3Way - I heard that Ink never showed up. But still, Ren, Raina, you held your own despite your captain not being around. I didn't really get to watch your matches, but you both did well despite being at a disadvantage. Good for no ragequitting! =D

Overall, this has been the most fun tourney ever! I hope we can have another tourney like this soon! It really did bring all of us together more, in my opinion. ^_^ Lots of fun memories! Great job everyone and I hope to see you all in another tourney soon! ^_^

Since I feel as I'm a more behind the scenes kind of guy I'll make this quick.

1) Team XR (Jamal Poyo Me)
Well you were my teammates and you followed through I enjoyed our battles together and even though in the end we didn't use any of our original plans we worked to our strengths and won. I look forward to fighting you on different teams in the future. Basically you guys were clutch.

Ensane-Hmm what is there to say to you. Your a beginner in Competitive battling but you always seem to beat me. I guess that just shows how well you know me heh.

Sanna - You vs Sakura = HYPE! She proved she's the older sibling after all

Shoutouts:

1. Team XR (Myself, Pro, and Poyo) - You guys were amazing teammates, and I'm so glad that I was able to team with you guys for this tournament. We will be going our separate ways, so I hope to face you guys later in more team tournaments!

Pro - I can always rely on you, bro. Your faith in me when you made the team captain vs. team captain match worth 3 points really shows how much you believed. You're one of my best friends, and I hope I get to battle you when we're on different teams!

Poyo - That 6-0 on Sakura was insane... O_o Good stuff, looks like Inui's suggestion really DID come in handy. Just don't doubt me next time.

2. The Yellow Flashes (Gold, Tyson, and Sakura) - It was fun facing you guys in the finals! You guys really made a big impact with Sakura vs. Sanna, and I'm glad that you were our team's opponents.

Gold - You did a good job managing your team, fellow team captain, and I'm glad that I was able to face you in the final battle (albeit due to a risky gamble). Great job! (Thanks for waiting on me when I was gone, BTW.)

Tyson - Sorry about not teaming with you for this tournament. D:
You did a great job with the team you were on, anyway. Nice job winning against Sasab!

Sakura - YOU VS. SANNA WAS SO HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! You made such an intense comeback, and even though it ended in a tie, you won due to your Darmanitan attacking last with Flare Blitz! You should be proud! Don't worry about getting 6-0'd by Poyo; you did an amazing job this tourney by bringing your team to the finals!

3. Team Three Star (Austin, Brandon, and Ensane) - Nice job on third, guys! You did really well during this tournament, and I hope you guys enter the next one!

Austin - You did well, fellow team captain. I was impressed by how you did against Pro. If you keep this up, you'll be placing high in our regular Pokemon Online tourneys in no time!

Brandon - Get 6-0'd. ;D On a serious note, I heard that you brought your team to 3rd place. Keep it up!

Ensane - Damn, you did really well this tournament. You were the only member of your team that didn't lose a game. I hope to see you at more of these tourneys!

4. Team 5D's (Sasab, Denzel, and Sanna) - Like people stated earlier, this was an unlikely team of people to enter. Still, though, you guys held it down well, and you fought hard against both the Yellow Flashes and Team Three Star!

Sasab - I'm surprised you didn't win at least once. O_o Still, great job on managing your team, fellow team captain.

Denzel - You were the only member of your team to remain undefeated (as well as the only member of your team to win). You did a great job, and I hope to see you enter more of these tourneys!

Sanna - YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB AGAINST SAKURA! You almost had it, but in the end, the tiebreaker was decided by Sakura's Flare Blitz being the last attack. You should be proud for doing so well!

5. Team 3Way (Ink, Raina, and Ren) - I'm disappointed that your team leader bailed out on you, but Raina and Ren, you guys made a nice attempt.

Ink - All I have to say is that it's up to you as the team leader to show up, and to not let your team down.

Raina - You did well against Austin. You're slowly getting better with each tournament, so keep it up!

Ren - Damn... @ that 6-0 that you suffered against Ensane... I'm glad that you stuck it out to the end, though. I give you major props for that!

All-in-all, this was an amazing tournament, and I'm glad that you guys participated in it to make it happen!

This tournament sounded really fun. I really wished that I finished the book in time to read it. XR
