(→The Final Battle: This is unnecessary detail that borders on self promotion | The details of the match seem too in-depth for the level to which we normally document tournaments. The teams and result should be sufficient.) |

The final Pokémon battle for the trophy was fought | The final Pokémon battle for the trophy was fought three on three at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, MD, with current YouTuber Ed Prins-Stairs (known back then with his first name, Alex Prins-Stairs, Ed is his shortened middle name) vs a "Pokémon Master" Staff member. The battle could be seen live and in 3D for the first time on a big screen television using {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} which hadn't been released yet. Ed's team was {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Starmie}} while the staff members' team was {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Articuno}}. | ||
To Ed's recollection, both Mewtwos had Psychic, Blizzard, and Thunder Wave, but Ed's Mewtwo had Rest where the staff member had Recover. After a long battle where both {{p|Mewtwo}} were the remaining Pokémon on the field and {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Rest}}, and {{m|Thunder Wave}} were the only available moves on either side, As Ed attempted to drain them out for {{m|Struggle}}, rather than take up time with non-damaging moves, the staff member forfeited and declared Ed the winner. The trophy was mailed to the winner along with a {{i|Poké Ball}} filled with candy and a {{p|Mewtwo}} beanie plush. | |||
