After a full day of head-to-head Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) battles, Jeffery Cheng of Sasmmamish took first place in the Senior Division at the 2014 Pokémon City Championships in Redmond.

Along with the title and trophy, Cheng, 13, earned championship points that count toward a potential invitation to the 2014 Pokémon World Championships in Washington, D.C. Players who achieve a top ranking after the 2014 Spring Regional Championships in April will earn travel awards, giving them the opportunity to compete at the 2014 Pokémon U.S. National Championships in Indianapolis next summer.

“The Pokémon City Championships are special because they are a great way for new players participating in premiere events for the first time to compete alongside more experienced players in a game they really enjoy,” said J.C. Smith, director of Consumer Marketing for The Pokémon Company International.
