The Ballard Bulbasaur and Bothell Beartic have been battling each other for an entire year now. Fans expect these matches to go the distance and these two trainers made that happen again this week.
Champion Kenneth was able to out maneuver Rival Avery in a 5 game match that saw both trainers exchange blows all the way up until the end.
