We had a rare and incredible opportunity to compete in the Pokemon Japan Championships #PJCS2026! Ethan started out 0-2, climbed out to 5-2 and lost the final round to end 5-3. Not much in terms of expectations other than to experience and compete in a massive field of 826 juniors! Earned the exclusive stamped Mewtwo promo and learned some Japanese! All of this would not have been possible without the incredible support from the community and friends: - @88Cardhouse, @SVCardArt and @EbisuCollection who provided the majority of playables for us, even the newly released Abyss Eye set. - @KianNakano for HGSS energy and the cool 🍬🍬 - @drapult for additional cards and teaching us the Japanese playing customs 👊✋✌️ - @thefleeee for the Meowths and advice on foreigners competing - @DuelSpecTCG for sleeves - @LynnOono for fueling crazy ideas and Pokemon Center shopping lists Thanks to all the friends we got to practice with and hang out with today, and best of luck to @anxiouspapa @ayapiyo20 and Reo in cut tomorrow! Next up, NAIC! 🛫
