A Burlington teenager is a Pokémon world champion.

Andrew Estrada, 16, came home a world champ, the only Canadian to do so, after two days of head-to-head Pokémon Trading Card Game battles at the 2014 World Pokémon Championships in Washington, D.C., held from Aug. 15-17.

Estrada was among more than 600 elite Pokémon players from around the world. He claimed first place in the Masters Division, for players born in 1997 or earlier.

He won a $10,000 scholarship, an exclusive Pikachu World Champion trophy and a travel award to compete at the 2015 Pokémon World Championships next summer, at a venue yet to be announced.
