What will you be doing in August? Getting ready for school? Working? Waiting until after Thanksgiving for all the hot new releases to come out?

Well, not Steve Wasserloos. He'll be proving his gaming skills in a Pokémon tournament in San Diego. He, along with 15 other Americans, will be battling it out against other competitors from Europe and Japan to prove who is the best Pokémon master in the world. The tournament, which will be held in San Diego, gives the winner an invitation to the 2010 World Championships, a trip to Tokyo, New York, or Hawaii, and a customized DSi.

But what does he have to do to win? The competition will consist of choosing 4 Pokémon and going head to head with other contenders. All 30 players will have to use their wits and skills to beat eachother down until it comes to the last two.

Good luck to Steve! Let's hope he wins!
