Justin Pierre Edmund, 9, of Queens, N.Y., who dressed as Team Rocket, beat out 500 other contestants in a costume contest sponsored by Kellogg's Ultimate Pokemon Camp in Manhattan and won a trip to Hollywood over the weekend to attend the premiere of "Pokemon the Movie 2000" . . . which would have been great if it weren't for the fact that young Justin is already a movieland veteran. He played Whitney Houston's son in 1996's "The Preacher's Wife."
