Pokémon: Europe International Championships - we speak to kids competing

The Pokémon Europe International Championships took place last week in London and we caught up with some kids competing.

Thousands of players competed in different kinds of events - such as trading card, video game, GO! and Unite tournaments - to try to win enough points to gain entry into the World Championships.

The Championships are taking place on 16 - 18 August in Honolulu, in Hawaiʻi.

Players travel from all over the world travel to compete in these Championships.

Emma-Louise caught up with some families who are battling it out together for the chance to compete in Hawai'i!
