Chelsea Stars Test Their Focus While Playing New Pokémon Games (With Puppies!)

With the new Pokémon Sword and Shield games recent release, GAME brought in Chelsea Women stars Bethany England and Fran Kirby to go head to head in the game.

The English forwards were told they would be distracted while playing but the two did not think much of the light threat.

“Joe have said they’re going to try and distract us but I can’t see that happening,” England said. “We’re professional athletes.”

 

The two began playing the games and eventually Round 1 of GAME’s distraction began with the greatest distraction of all: puppies.

“And they’ve found my weakness,” England said.

More puppies were released into the gaming area after each round, becoming too much for the Chelsea forwards and for us at The18 to handle.

In the end, the two with their personalized avatar Pokemon trainers did battle in a bonus round with the puppies still in full effect.

England won the battle but GAME proclaimed Kirby as the winner of the day through the gameplay and earlier rounds.

The Blues are off until the new year so the two will have plenty of time to recover from battle and from the onslaught of puppies.
