WOLFE Glick recently returned home from London where he ended up coming 13th in the European International Championships.
It was the largest Pokémon tournament of all time, and for most people this would be an enormous achievement.
Coming 13th out of almost 1k competitors including numerous other former (and current) World Champions is no easy task.
Glick said he was happy with how he played at the tournament telling The Sun: "I can be proud of this result, because I'm proud of myself for locking in today and playing good Pokémon."
However Glick had the strong belief that his team could have gone all the way, especially as he won enough matches at EUIC to land him in the quarter finals.
Despite the two tournaments only being a week apart, when Glick arrived back in the US from London he booked a ticket to go to Florida for the Orlando Regional Tournament.
The last minute decision meant that he arrived at around 2am and said he only caught about 3 hours of sleep before the first round began at 9am.
Luckily for Glick he didn't need to build a whole new team as he used the exact same team that he had built for EUIC.
He tells us: "Overall, I think it was a really solid team. It did me proud.
"I felt I always had the tools to win even in the games I lost."
In particular, Glick called his Amoonguss with Sludge Bomb the "MVP" of the team, which played a huge role in the final game in Orlando.
Both Glick and his opponent Neil Patel were down to their last two Pokémon; Glick's Amoonguss and Patel's Urshifu.
Surviving one final attack from the legendary Pokémon, Amoonguss manages to hit back with a Sludge Bomb for the KO.
Despite signing up for the Orlando tournament at the last minute Glick managed to take home the title and $6k (£5k) in prize money.
Orlando is Glick's 9th Regional title and cements his place in competitive Pokémon history.
