Tournaments... and pokemon?

Hm... I had a longer, peculiar dream this morning, but as usual I only remember parts of it... where do I start.
Well, one part that I remember, it would seem I'm with someone... I think it's my little brother, but later on in the dream I'm not so sure. It's fuzzy. But, we'll say it's my brother for simplicity. We're hanging out in this place that... well, it's kinda supposed to be our home, I guess, but it's nothing like it. We're reminiscing about things in our childhood and such, while we're also... doing something. Playing something? Yeah, I'm trying, but this part is just too fuzzy.
The main part I actually remember is hanging out with him in this area, where a bunch of people have gathered. There are tournaments and such going on. I don't remember what kind of skill was involved, but I know in some other part of the dream, there were... pokemon. Not like, playing the games type of pokemon. No, they exist and are alive and such in this world. So... perhaps that was the skillset involved for these tournaments. All I know was, I'm assisting this other guy, who both kinda is, and doesn't seem much like my little brother any more. He's very excited about the money we could win, to the point that I keep trying to get him to calm down, and quiet down, and not blurt stuff out in front of all these other people who obviously also want to win. He's excited though because winning the main tournament could give him 125,000... units of money. I doubt that's in US dollars. And I guess he has enough stowed away to bring him to 150k, which would let him participate in this other sort of "competition".
In this competition they take two people, and take 150k as the entry field. Then they sit at opposite ends of the room, and the have a machine just start dropping the coins in a circle around each person. Whoever caves first and grabs for the money loses, and the other person takes it all. Judging by how excited this brother, or friend, or whoever, is about this competition, I doubt he'd do well. I imagine myself stepping in and doing it for him. It seems easy if you think about it logically -- you just sit there until you win. So easy, in fact, that once I wake up I wonder how such a thing could ever work.
I also dimly remember parts of the dream where I'm wandering around a huge store, or I'm wandering outside at night (which MAY be where I bump into the pokemon I mentioned earlier... who knows.) I dunno where those fit in, so I put them here. Well, that's about all the stitching together I can do.
