Great Coaching Moment
#1
I had an awesome coaching moment the last few days.  My friend Alex (@_SenpaiAlex_ on Twitter) was going into his first ever VGC competition today.  He had asked me for a suggestion for a team for the tournament.  I suggested my current doubles team, with Pachirisu added in.  The team was Mega Blastoise, Talonflame, Politoed, Ludicolo, Scizor, and Pachirisu.  I then shared my strategy with Blastoise and Talonflame (as shared here), and he was excited to try it.  I let him borrow 2/3rds of my team to bring to the tournament.  Then after practicing on Battle Spot as I suggested, he went to the Pokemon XY Alpha Series Premier Event in Connecticut, and got 2nd place!!  He lost in the finals to the ever controversial dark void Smeargle.

He had a blast, and I was so proud of him!  He was disappointed that he didn't win for us, but I immediately had to stop him.  I told him that I could give him all the Pokemon in the world, but it was his skill and decisions in battle that got him to the finals.  

If you can do me a favor, and hit him up on Twitter.  Congratulate him on a job well done.  I've loved being able to help people my whole life, and this was definitely one of those great moments of helping someone in need.
