[bunniefuu]

RHONDA: It's Sinnohhhhh

CROWD: Now!

RHONDA: Flash! That elegant Contest Master, Wallace,

has finally made his appearance in our beautiful Sinnoh Region!

RHONDA: Best known as the young genius from the Hoenn region,

Wallace rose to the level of Sootopolis City Gym Leader,

and finally Champion Master of the Hoenn region!

RHONDA: And because Wallace simply does not know the meaning

of the word 'quit', this young man has already won the title

of Top Contest Coordinator!

RHONDA: Together with his trusted partner Milotic,

this talented young man has achieved

the impressive rank of Contest Master!

RHONDA: The pride and envy of all Pokémon Coordinators!

So in honor of his achievements,

we're proud to bring you the exciting Pokémon Contest

that bears his name: the Wallace Cup!

RHONDA: That's all coming up after these messages, So!

Don't you touch that dial!

On a road, far from home,

you don't have to feel alone.

Brave and strong,

together we will be.

It's our destiny!

We will be heroes,

We can change the world if we try!

I go where you go,

Forever friends, you and I!

We will be heroes!

Battle Dimension Pokémon!

MARIAN: The time for this most special of Pokémon Contests,

the Wallace Cup, is now!

MARIAN: The location of which is nestled

on one of the three largest lakes in Sinnoh, Lake Valor,

where we're now accepting entrants!

WALLACE: So which one of you will prove to be

the finest Coordinator in Sinnoh?

I'm at Lake Valor to find out!

MILOTIC: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Awesome! I can't believe Wallace's actually there!

NARRATOR: As the site of the next Pokémon Contest

in Pastoria City awaits,

our Heroes have stopped at a Pokémon Center along the way

for a brief rest!

BUNEARY: [FLIRTING]

PIKACHU: [SHEEPISH]

HAPPINY: [HAPPY] BROCK: It looks like

Pikachu's learned some of those moves

Raichu was using back in their battle!

ASH: You bet! And since Pastoria's a Water-type Gym

I've got a plan to use my Electric

and Grass-types to even up the score, right?

PIKACHU, TURTWIG: [EXCITED]

ASH: We're gonna win by raising our game to a new level!

BROCK: Have you decided who you're going with yet?

ASH: I'm gonna use Pikachu and Turtwig, but

ASH: I'm still not sure of the rest.

GLIGAR: [EXCITED]

SUDOWOODO: [CONFUSED]

GLIGAR: [PLEADING]

TURTWIG, CHIMCHAR, PIKACHU, BUNEARY: [SURPRISED]

BROCK: At least you know how Gligar feels about it

in no uncertain terms!

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

AMBIPOM: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Ash is so incredible.

DAWN: To think that he took that spinning move of ours

and brought it up to such a high level!

Amazing! No battle's too much for him!

DAWN: He has this incredible way of making his Pokémon stronger

and stronger by using their own powers!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BUIZEL: [EXCITED]

STARAVIA: [EXCITED]

CHIMCHAR: [PLEASED]

BROCK, HAPPINY, SUDOWOODO, GLIGAR, BUNEARY: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Now it's our turn!

DAWN: So how does some serious training sound?

AMBIPOM, PACHIRISU, PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

BROCK: Ash!

BROCK: It looks like Dawn's taking a cue from you!

ASH: Give it all ya got Dawn!

DAWN: Thanks Ash, you do the same!

Hey Buneary come on over here!

BUNEARY: [EXCITED]

AMBIPOM, PACHIRISU, BUNEARY, PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: Now!

DAWN: I know you've been worried about me lately, but...

Now's our time to shine!

PACHIRISU, BUNEARY, PIPLUP, AMBIPOM: [CHEERING]

DAWN: First a warm-up!

Now, Piplup! Let's get going with Whirlpool!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

DAWN: Buneary, you use Bounce!

BUNEARY: [BOUNCE MOVE]

DAWN: Ambipom, quick! Use Swift!

AMBIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]

DAWN: Pachirisu, Discharge!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

DAWN: All right, that's the way it's done!

Now let's do it bigger and with more power!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

BUNEARY: [BOUNCE MOVE]

AMBIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

PIPLUP, BUNEARY, PACHIRISU, AMBIPOM: [EXERTION]

ASH: Awesome! Look at them go!

ZOEY: In the middle of all that flash, Ambipom's disappeared!

You've gotta remember that it's your Pokémon

that are always the main attraction!

DAWN: All right, hold on, hold on!

DAWN: Forget everything I told you! Everything!

BUNEARY: [WORRIED]

PIPLUP, PIKACHU, CHIMCHAR, PACHIRISU, AMBIPOM: [WORRIED]

ASH: Hey Dawn! PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

BROCK: Are you okay?

DAWN: No need to worry. That's what I'd like to say.

But I'm not feeling so good.

TURTWIG, CHIMCHAR, PIPLUP: [SHEEPISH]

ASH: What happened out there Dawn?

DAWN: See I was focusing on making all those moves

as big and powerful looking as I possibly could.

DAWN: But then I remembered what Zoey said

and I realized I was doing it all wrong!

ASH: Hey, no need to worry! I mean it!

I'm telling you, you guys were all looking just great!

Right Pikachu? PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

BROCK: You don't have be so hard on yourself,

since as long as your moves are making your Pokémon look as

appealing as possible then everything will be just fine!

DAWN: That's what I should focus on,

but instead of doing that

I end up thinking only about giving it my all.

JOY: Hey everybody!

BROCK, DAWN, ASH, PIKACHU, PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [CURIOUS]

JOY: Can we talk for a minute?

BROCK: Of course!

We can talk for a minute, or an hour or a day or forever!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

BROCK: My how... the... time... flies.

CRAOGUNK: [CROAKING]

ASH: Hey Rhonda! It's been a while!

RHONDA: Right! By the way kids,

you didn't happen to see Contest Master Wallace

hanging around here did you?

DAWN: The Wallace?

ASH, STARAVIA, SUDOWOODO, GLIGAR, BUIZEL: [SURPRISED]

-DAWN: Hanging around here? -ASH: Who's Wallace?

BROCK: What's he look like anyway?

DAWN: You've never seen Wallace before?

RHONDA: You have now! Isn't he a dreamboat?

ASH: Whoa.

BROCK: So Wallace uses a Milotic does he?

DAWN: He's only the biggest superstar

every Coordinator's dying to meet and I'm one of them too!

RHONDA: Wallace regularly travels all over the Kanto

and Hoenn regions holding the Pokémon Contest

that bears his name! It's called the Wallace Cup,

and as you can probably guess, Wallace is its main promoter!

RHONDA: Also, the prestigious Wallace Cup ribbon counts as

an official ribbon at any of the competitions

all over the country!

RHONDA: This year's Wallace Cup

is to be held right on Lake Valor!

BROCK: Hey, you do know Lake Valor

is right on the way to Pastoria City.

DAWN: You're right!

I'm thinking of entering the Wallace Cup myself!

BUNEARY, PIPLUP, PACHIRISU: [CHEERING]

ASH: Wow! You haven't competed in a long time!

PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

BROCK: So that's why you were so pumped up

before during your training!

DAWN: So Rhonda,

what did you say about Wallace hanging around here somewhere?

RHONDA: It's his day off,

and because of that his whole staff

refuses to tell me where Wallace is!

But my sources tell me he's somewhere around here.

RHONDA: A sh*t of Wallace relaxing would be priceless,

so needless to say we've just got to find him!

Now if any of you see him you've got to let me know!

RHONDA: Will you cut out this nonsense and get a grip already?

We've got an exclusive to cover!

DAWN: So Wallace is in the same forest as me.

ASH: You want to meet Wallace huh?

DAWN: How did you guess?

ASH: Okay, let's all look for him together!

-BROCK: Right! -DAWN: Thanks guys!

TURTWIG, STARAVIA, SUDOWOODO, GLIGAR, BUIZEL, HAPPINY,

BUNEARY, CHIMCHAR, PIPLUP, PACHIRISU, AMBIPOM: [EXCITED]

JESSIE: A real superstar at close range!

JAMES: As night follows day.

MEOWTH: Guess you want to enter the Wallace Cup too.

JESSIE: No duh!

JESSIE: And I'll dedicate my astounding victory

to my recently relocated Dustox!

JAMES: All right, strategy please?

JESSIE: We'll simply get to Wallace before the Twerps do

and then charm the cape off of him

just like the strategy that won me the Solaceon Contest!

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [SHOCKED]

MEOWTH: Of course we know that Jessie won the Solaceon Contest

because she was completely chilled cool and calm.

JAMES: But telling her charm had nothing to do with it

could be hazardous to our health.

JESSIE: Care to share that with the rest of the class?

MEOWTH: We were saying you're chock-full of charm!

JAMES, WOBBUFFET: [AGREEING]

JESSIE: After all, one star deserves another!

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [EMBARRASSED]

ASH: So where do you look for a famous guy?

DAWN: I don't know. I don't see a thing!

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS] / [CALLING]

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: What's that?

DAWN: Looks like some sort of fog...

MILOTIC: [SINGING]

ALL: [SURPRISED] ASH: You hear that?

MILOTIC: [SINGING]

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [AMAZED]

DAWN: Wow, could that be a Milotic?

POKEDEX: Milotic.

The Tender Pokémon and the evolved form of Feebas.

At the first sign of fighting,

Milotic will come up from the bottom of its lake habitat

to calm any angry feelings.

DAWN: It's Wallace!

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

MILOTIC: [SURPRISED]

WALLACE: Well well, hello there everyone!

WALLACE: Ever since I arrived in Sinnoh

my schedule just never seems to end!

WALLACE: The talk shows...

WALLACE: Magazines, radio...

WALLACE: Even back at the hotel, the fans are all over me!

WALLACE: And so I pleaded with my staff

to give me just one day off and let me truly relax...

WALLACE: And have some quality time with Milotic!

MILOTIC, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

DAWN: They're sure having fun!

WALLACE: Milotic hasn't looked this happy

since we arrived in Sinnoh!

WALLACE: My beautiful Milotic.

MILOTIC: [HAPPY]

DAWN: That's for sure. Beautiful's right!

WALLACE: Why thank you!

WALLACE: The most important thing for Pokémon and Trainer

is kinship, and should you ever forget about that

your Pokémon will never shine!

DAWN: You're so right!

DAWN: I feel bad that we bothered you

while you were taking a break.

We won't let anyone know you're here!

WALLACE: That's very nice! Thank you all.

ASH: Wait! Hey Wallace,

Dawn's a Pokémon Coordinator too,

and since she's gonna be entering the Wallace Cup

you'll see her again for sure!

WALLACE: Oh? Then I'm honored to have Dawn

as one of our entrants! And if you wouldn't mind Dawn

I would love for you to show me

some of your Contest moves right now!

DAWN: Right now?

BROCK: That's great Dawn! What an opportunity!

You can't pass up a chance to have

a real Contest Master personally watch you work!

ASH: He's right!

Think of how ready you'll be for the Wallace Cup!

DAWN: I guess so, but...

ASH: I've got it! You can battle me!

DAWN: Battle you?

ASH: Of course, a Contest Battle!

PIPLUP: [ENCOURAGING]

DAWN: Right!

DAWN: Thank you Wallace. PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

WALLACE: Why don't we go over here.

DAWN, ASH, BROCK: Sure!

JAMES: The superstar's benevolent!

JESSIE: And beautiful! Milotic too!

MEOWTH: But get a load of the Twerps

trying to get the upper hand!

JESSIE: Are we jealous? Most unflattering.

WOBBUFFET: [TEASING]

DAWN: Oh dear.

I don't think I've been this nervous in my life!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

ASH: Okay, Buizel, I choose you!

BUIZEL: [APPEARING]

BROCK: Dawn was actually Buizel's trainer first.

Wow, what a battler! Buizel is really something!

WALLACE: So they made a trade then?

BROCK: She got Ash's Aipom who loves competing in Contests!

WALLACE: I see.

DAWN: Piplup! You ready to go? PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

ASH: All right then bring it on!

BUIZEL: [TAUNTING]

DAWN: Okay Piplup use Bubble Beam!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

ASH: Buizel! Sonic Boom!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

ASH: Now use Water g*n!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

DAWN: Piplup spin and dodge it!

PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Great, now use Peck!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

BUIZEL: [EXERTION] PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

ASH: Buizel! Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

WALLACE: That's excellent!

The water brings out the best in Buizel!

DAWN: All right, Whirlpool!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Yeah, way to go Dawn!

BUIZEL: [PLEASED]

PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

DAWN: You too, Ash!

PIPLUP: [PLEASED]

WALLACE: Wow, wonderful performance, Buizel and Piplup!

WALLACE: Shall we end it there?

ASH: Yeah, sure! Thanks a lot Buizel!

BUIZEL: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Great going, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

WALLACE: So Dawn, I hear it was you who raised Buizel!

WALLACE: Since Buizel is so fond of battling

it would be wonderful to see those impressive movements

utilized in a Contest!

Remember Buizel's unique battle style comes from

the way you raised it!

WALLACE: So what would you think of entering the Wallace Cup

with Buizel as your partner, Ash?

ASH: Here's the thing...

Both of us always get super pumped up

and then we forget totally about the performance.

BUIZEL: [SHEEPISH]

DAWN: I'd love to see that!

DAWN: 'Course, you know Buizel never got the chance to compete

in a Contest when we were partners,

and what Wallace said is true!

DAWN: I know it would be great for Buizel!

ASH: You're right! Buizel, so what do you say?

BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: What did you think of Dawn and Piplup's performance?

WALLACE: Let's see.

WALLACE: The way you show your moves is flawless,

very well researched and rehearsed!

But I heard some things about Piplup from Brock

WALLACE: and I think you may indeed be focusing too much

on the moves themselves!

WALLACE: Think for a moment about Piplup's basic nature.

WALLACE: It can't be all about dramatic performance

so I suggest keeping it more natural!

Dawn, I was wondering have you played with your Pokémon lately?

DAWN: Played with them?

DAWN: You're right,

I've been concentrating too much on working and Contests!

DAWN: The truth is I've been thinking only about myself!

I've been putting my needs over my Pokémon's needs

the whole time!

I guess we haven't been playing much at all, have we?

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

JESSILINA: Aha! Trying to hide from the real Contest talent

are we Wallace dear?

JESSILINA: Come come,

it's not fair to not share your talents

with those of us who really appreciate them!

WALLACE: And you three would be?

JESSILINA: Hello! I too am an idol

with one ribbon under my designer belt!

The lovely Jessilina!

JESSILINA: Your fanniest of fans!

JESSILINA: And this magnificent Milotic must be

the most precious Pokémon in the whole wide world,

and here I am getting completely up close

and personal with both of you!

JESSILINA: Now watch this! Go Seviper!

SEVIPER: [APPEARING]

JESSILINA: A teensy tribute to you and your precious

Pokémon partner in my inimitable star-struck style!

WALLACE: I'm flattered,

but you might want to remove that before you compete.

ASH: I'll say.

PIKACHU: [UNIMPRESSED] JESSILINA: Of course!

I'm entering the Wallace Cup too!

JESSILINA: So make sure you blow me kisses and chant Jessilina,

Jessilina, Jessilina, Jessilina, Jessilina, Jessilina!

JAMES: Can't you make a fool of yourself on your own time?

MEOWTH: Yeah we get enough of your social graces at home!

Back in 'da box lady!

WALLACE: Milotic!

Shall we demonstrate to these promising young Coordinators

what a wonderful day of relaxation and play can do?

MILOTIC: [AGREEING]

DAWN: You mean you'd put on a performance for us?

WALLACE: Sure! My way of

thanking you for a wonderful time!

MILOTIC: [EXCITED]

WALLACE: Let's begin! Use Safeguard!

MILOTIC: [SAFEGUARD MOVE]

ASH, BROCK, BUIZEL, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [AMAZED]

DAWN: Beautiful!

WALLACE: Aqua Ring!

MILOTIC: [AQUA RING MOVE]

ASH: Awesome!

DAWN: It's almost mystical!

BROCK: Now that's what it means

to use a move that brings out your Pokémon's best!

JESSILINA: I want one right now!

WALLACE: Use Dragon Pulse!

MILOTIC: [DRAGON PULSE MOVE]

WALLACE: Now Milotic!

MILOTIC: [EXCITED]

JAMES, JESSILINA, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET, ASH, DAWN, BROCK

BUIZEL, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED][EXCITED]

MEOWTH: Aww! Soft as a baby buggy bumper!

WALLACE: Finish! With Twister!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, BUIZEL, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, BUIZEL, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [STRUGGLING]

JAMES, JESSIE, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [STRUGGLING]

MILOTIC: [SINGING]

JESSILINA: How did you do that move? I want to use Aqua Ring!

WALLACE: I'm terribly sorry but Seviper can't perform Aqua Ring!

JESSILINA: But it's dressed up like Milotic!

WALLACE: But it's still impossible!

JESSILINA: Meanie pants!

WALLACE: I'm looking forward to seeing you all

at the Wallace Cup! Thanks for a nice time!

JESSILINA, JAMES, MEOWTH, SEVIPER, WOBBUFFET: [AMAZED]

ASH: Wow, where'd he go?

BROCK: I'll tell you he's a real Contest Master.

JESSILINA: With Wallace seated squarely in my cheering section

I'm sure my next Contest win is as good as won!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN: Really?

JESSILINA: Now don't tell me you're entering too.

DAWN: I am.

JESSALINE: Perhaps if your luck holds out

you'll make it past the first stage this time!

JESSILINA: Bye-bye!

BROCK: You'll be great Dawn, no doubt!

ASH: No need to worry!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

DAWN: Right!

RHONDA: Wow! Did you get that?

CAMERAMAN: Not a bit! Battery was dead.

RHONDA: Nothing with Wallace and the girl?

I've slaved my whole career for a poignant moment

like this one and you have to ruin it with a dead battery!

MARIAN: Thanks to our special guest Wallace, the one and only!

ASH: Wow, and to think we hung out with him all day today!

DAWN: It's easy to say I'll put my Pokémon first,

but not so easy to actually do!

I really need to appreciate what's truly special

about each of my Pokémon. I'll do my best!

BROCK: Just relaxing's a good start.

DAWN: Yeah, that too. I hear you!

ASH: Wallace did say

playing with your Pokémon's really important.

BROCK: Besides being fun it also helps with their appeal!

NARRATOR: Some wise and timely advice

from a real Contest Master,

as Dawn prepares to enter the Wallace Cup,

named after none other than our Heroes' new friend,

Contest Master Wallace!

JOY: Excuse me!

Ash, a message asking for you to call the Pokémon Center

in Snowpoint City has just come in!

ASH: Where's Snowpoint City?

JOY: It's right here!

JOY: It's Sinnoh's farthest northern city!

JOY: It's a phone call. From Ash of Pallet Town!

MAY: Great! Thanks! I'll go take it right now!
