Hello, people reading this. My name is Liam, since age 5 I have been a pokemon fan. Whether it was collecting cards or watching anime or playing the games. I very recently got into the pokemon showdown and have loved it so far. I want to compete in this competition because I feel that it will be super fun. I have never been in a competitive game but I want to try it and I know I will love it.

Thanks, for your consideration
-Liam
