Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Confirming I lost in the finals to Alice Kazumi. I played pretty poorly, but she had Ponyta which pretty much wrecked my team. O well, some games you just play poorly. Alice played very well herself though, I must say, so she deserves it. Good game, and congratulations! :]
