Monday, September 20.  Though the absence of Pikachu forced the champions of battles 11-20 to wait an extra few weeks, they are now ready and fully prepared to strip Pikachu of its title as Pokémon Master.  Has Pikachu returned from vacation lazy and unprepared, or has it returned well-rested and energized?  The scoreboard after 20 battles looks like this:

POKé MAN's Dialogue

Uhh... I heard there was some kind of
chess tournament around here...
Ha!  You're my opponent?
I guess so.  Are we playing or what?
I like to thing of it as battling.
POKé MAN wants to fight!
Battling?  Well, chess does represent war.
KASPAROV wants to play!
Play??  You wimp!
What're you talking about?
I'm here for some chess.
Well, you came to the wrong place, buddy.
And what place is that?

Forget I asked.
POKé MAN sent out HITMONLEE!
Oh NO! 
This must be that weird Pakoman thing!
Um... that's Pokémon.
Pokemon?
Yeah, but with an accent on the 'e'.
Well... how do I play?
You send out a Pokémon to do battle
with the one I just sent out.
Um... I don't have any...
*Sigh*  How did you ever make it
into the tournament?
Pikapi.
Wha?
Sorry - I don't know what came over me.
Look - you've battled before, what did you use?
Well, there were some chess pieces...
Fine.  Use one of them so I can beat you.
Well... the queen did well...
KASPAROV sent out QUEEN!
Kill it, Hitmonlee!

QUEEN was HIT!

Um... now what?
Now you must surrender.  You lost?
But I thought we were allowed to use other...
Look, who's the expert on Pokémon?
You or me?
*Sigh* Alright alright, I surrender.
