==Plot==
"It's Sinnoh Now!" {{si|Rhonda}} is reporting some major news about Contest Master [[Wallace]], the former [[Sootopolis City]] [[Gym Leader]] and [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} who is now a Contest Master. He is due to hold the [[Wallace Cup]], a special [[Pokémon Contest]] which is open to all {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s from [[Sinnoh]], [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Johto]], due to take place at [[Lake Valor]], is coming up and accepting entrants and Rhonda is providing coverage. "Don't you touch that dial!"
{{si|Rhonda}} reports from the ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' newsroom that Contest Master [[Wallace]], who's also a former [[Gym Leader]] from {{ci|Sootopolis}} and the reigning [[Hoenn League]] [[Pokémon Champion]], will be hosting the [[Wallace Cup]] at [[Lake Valor]]. Watching from a [[Pokémon Center]], {{an|Dawn}} is particularly excited by the news.


{{an|Dawn}} is watching TV in a [[Pokémon Center]] with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and is excited to find out Wallace is going to be nearby at Lake Valor. Dawn turns her attention to {{Ash}} and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} {{pkmn|training}} outside (accompanied by {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}) for Ash's upcoming challenge at the [[Pastoria Gym]]. {{AP|Buizel}} is battling {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Turtwig uses {{m|Energy Ball}} and Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}}. Buizel blocks with its tail but Pikachu spins his tail in circles and sends Buizel flying. Ash praises everyone and Turtwig on his progress on mastering Energy Ball and knows they'll be well prepared for the Pastoria Gym. Buneary is impressed too and shows her feelings to Pikachu. {{an|Brock}} comments on how Pikachu learned some moves from [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. Ash is planning on using {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Grass}} Pokémon in order to gain advantage in the upcoming Gym Battle, as the [[Pastoria City]] Gym Leader is known to use {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Ash is planning on using Pikachu and Turtwig but is not sure who else. {{TP|Ash|Gligar}} becomes excited and jumps Ash showing that it wants to battle at the Pastoria Gym. Dawn walks out and thinks to herself about how Ash is incredible and his training style is amazing. Ambipom is also admiring Ash's style, and connects her tails to show this.
Dawn turns her attention to {{Ash}} and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} {{pkmn|training}} outside for their upcoming challenge at the [[Pastoria Gym]]. Inspired by Ash's drive, Dawn starts to do some training of her own. She tells {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her team}} that she knows they've been worried about her lately since [[DP061|her loss]] in the {{to|Solaceon}} Contest but assures them things are changing. She calls for a warm up round: {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} whips up a {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} {{m|Bounce}}s around, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} uses {{m|Swift}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} unleashes a {{m|Discharge}}. She presses them to make it bigger and more powerful, and the joint effort creates a spectacular [[Contest combination|combination]]. Dawn is happy with the progress but suddenly remembers [[Zoey]]'s advice that the Pokémon are the main attraction in Contests. Panicking, Dawn runs out and tells them to stop, but she ends up getting struck down by Pokémon’s attacks. Ash and Brock run over to check on Dawn, but she tells them not to worry about her. Her hair becomes frizzed. She admits that she was focusing too much on making the [[move]]s big and powerful rather than on the Pokémon. Ash and Brock comfort her.


Dawn is inspired and starts to do some training of her own. Ash encourages her and Dawn returns the compliment. Dawn tells Ambipom, Buneary, Pachirisu, and Piplup she knows they've been worried about her lately since [[DP061|her loss]] in the {{to|Solaceon}} Contest but says things are changing. Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|Whirlpool}}, Buneary to use {{m|Bounce}}, Ambipom to use {{m|Swift}}, and Pachirisu to use {{m|Discharge}}. She presses for to make it bigger and more powerful. Her Pokémon power it up and the moves [[Contest combination|combine]] with each other. Dawn is happy with the progress but suddenly remembers [[Zoey]]'s advice that Pokémon are the main attraction in Contests. Panicking, Dawn runs out and tells them to stop, but she ends up getting zapped with Discharge, drenched with Whirlpool, blasted with Swift and stomped with Bounce in the process. Ash and Brock run over and Dawn tells them not to worry about her. Her hair becomes frizzed. She says that she was focusing too much on making the moves big and powerful and not on the Pokémon. Ash and Brock comfort her.
[[Nurse Joy]] approaches the group, flanked by Rhonda and her crew. Brock flirts with Joy, only for {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} to use {{m|Poison Jab}} and drag him off. Ash greets Rhonda, but she is more concerned about finding Wallace. Dawn quickly fixes her hair and asks for more information. Ash and Brock don't know who Wallace is so Rhonda shows them a magazine with Wallace and his signature Pokémon {{p|Milotic}} on the cover. Dawn says that every Coordinator, including herself, wants to meet superstar Wallace. Rhonda informs everybody that Wallace regularly travels across the Kanto and Hoenn [[region]]s holding and promoting Pokémon Contests bearing his name, the Wallace Cup, that the Wallace Cup {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}} counts as an official Ribbon at any region’s Contest competitions, and that this year's Wallace Cup is taking place at Lake Valor. Brock says that Lake Valor is right on the way to Pastoria City. Dawn announces that she's planning on participating in the Wallace Cup. Dawn asks Rhonda more about Wallace and she says that it's Wallace's day off so his whole staff won't tell her where he is but her sources tell her he's somewhere nearby and that a piece on Wallace relaxing would be priceless. She asks Ash and {{ashfr}} to tip her off if they see Wallace and leaves to continue her star search. {{TRT}} overhears the entire conversation from their spying post on top of the Pokémon Center. [[Jessie]] is equally excited to compete in the Wallace Cup, and hopes to dedicate the victory to her released {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. [[James]] and {{MTR}} have their doubts in Jessie’s charm offensive strategy, but endorse her enthusiasm for their own safety nonetheless.
 
[[Nurse Joy]] comes over with Rhonda and her crew. Brock flirts with her but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} stops him with {{m|Poison Jab}} and drags him away.

Ash and Brock don't know who Wallace is so Rhonda shows them a magazine with Wallace and his {{p|Milotic}} on the cover.

Rhonda informs everybody that Wallace regularly travels across the Kanto and Hoenn [[region]]s holding and promoting Pokémon Contests bearing his name, the Wallace Cup, that the Wallace Cup {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}} counts as an official Ribbon at any Contest competitions all over Sinnoh, Kanto, Hoenn and Johto, and that this year's Wallace Cup is taking place at Lake Valor. Brock says that Lake Valor is right on the way to Pastoria City. Dawn announces that she's planning on participating in the Wallace Cup.

{{TRT}} is spying from the roof of the Pokémon Center and after hearing all the talk about Wallace, [[Jessie]] is excited to have a chance of seeing Wallace up close. She is planning on entering the Wallace Cup as well and dedicate the victory to her released {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. She plans on charming Wallace in order to help her win just like in the Solaceon Town Contest. [[James]], {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} whisper in the corner about how she won the Solaceon Contest because she was calm and that her charm had nothing to do with it, but in order to protect their health they feign that it was because of her charm.
Drifting fog and a melodic voice leads Ash and {{ashfr}} directly to Wallace's location. Wallace greets them, admitting that he is simply glad to have the time away from his hectic schedule. As Milotic plays with Pikachu and Piplup, Dawn admires the {{pkmn|category|Tender Pokémon}} and Wallace tells her that kinship is the most important thing when caring for Pokémon. Dawn promises not to tell anyone Wallace is here so as to not disturb his day off. Ash tells Wallace that Dawn's entering the Wallace Cup, so Wallace asks her to show him some Contest moves. Dawn is hesitant at first, and to help motivate her, Ash challenges her to a [[Contest Battle]].
 
Ash, Dawn, and Brock look for Wallace in the forest and come across fog near the lake. They hear singing and discover that it's coming from a Milotic. Dawn checks her [[Pokédex]] and then finds Wallace sitting on a rock nearby. Milotic dives underwater and Wallace greets them. He tells them all about his hectic schedule and how he came by a day off to spend quality time with Milotic. As Milotic plays with Pikachu and Piplup, Dawn admires the {{pkmn|category|Tender Pokémon}} and Wallace tells her that kinship is the most important thing when caring for Pokémon. Dawn promises not to tell anyone Wallace is here so as to not disturb his day off. Ash tells Wallace that Dawn's entering the Wallace Cup and Wallace asks her to show him some Contest moves. Dawn is hesitant at first, and to help motivate her, Ash suggests a [[Contest Battle]] between themselves.
 
Ash sends out Buizel and Dawn chooses Piplup. Dawn is nervous to battle in front of Wallace and Brock tells him how Dawn and Ash [[trade]]d Buizel and {{p|Aipom}} because of Aipom's love for Contests, while Buizel was more interested in regular battles. Wallace watches the short battle carefully and claps and praises them after.
 
Wallace thinks that since Buizel is fond of battles it would be interesting to see its moves in a Contest Battle and reminds Dawn that Buizel's unique battle style comes from her training with it. Wallace suggests that Ash should participate in the Wallace Cup. Ash knows Contests and battles are different and is doubtful he'd be any good but Dawn says she'd love to see him participate and encourages him also saying how she never had Buizel be in a Contest with her. Wallace praises Piplup's moves, says that Dawn may be focusing too much on its moves, and suggests to keep it more natural. Wallace advises her to play with her Pokémon more often instead of working too much.
 
Jessie comes up in her [[Jessilina]] [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]]. She introduces herself and then invades Wallace's and Milotic's personal space while praising them. She calls out her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and it's {{pkmn|cosplay|dressed up}} like a Milotic. James and Meowth in their own disguises drag her away, infuriating her.


Wallace and Milotic puts on a performance to show what a day of relaxing and playing can do for Pokémon. Milotic uses {{m|Safeguard}} and a green light and mist gather around. It uses {{m|Aqua Ring}} and water bubbles circle it. It then uses {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, the water bubbles disperse and it flies around Ash and friends. Meowth touches Milotic and comments on how soft it is. It finishes with {{m|Twister}} gathering wind and water around itself and blowing it outward. Jessie asks Wallace how to teach Seviper Aqua Ring but Wallace tells her it's impossible. Wallace bids everyone farewell and he and Milotic depart in a wave.  
Ash sends out {{AP|Buizel}} and Dawn chooses Piplup. Dawn is nervous to battle in front of Wallace and Brock tells him how Dawn and Ash [[trade]]d Buizel and {{p|Aipom}} because of Aipom's love for Contests, while Buizel was more interested in regular battles.

Wallace thinks that since Buizel is fond of battles it would be interesting to see its moves in a Contest Battle and reminds Dawn that Buizel's unique battle style comes from her training with it. Wallace suggests that Ash should participate in the Wallace Cup. Ash knows Contests and regular battles are different, but he sets aside his doubts and agrees to compete after listening to Dawn’s encouragement. Wallace also praises Piplup's moves and says that Dawn has clearly spent time polishing them. However, he tells her that she may be focusing too much on well-rehearsed moves, and suggests to keep it more natural. He recommends she play with her Pokémon more often, and Dawn realizes that this is the missing aspect from her training.


Rhonda and her crew are in the bushes. She confirms whether her cameraman filmed everything but the battery was dead. Rhonda accidentally hits herself on the {{wp|Boom operator (media)|boom mic}} in her rage.

Blurb

Wallace, a Coordinator star and former Gym Leader, is bringing his Wallace Cup event to the shores of Sinnohs Lake Valor. This Contest opportunity gets Dawn excited about entering a Contest again, but she's still uncertain about what she needs to change about her style to win. As Zoey said, Dawn has to concentrate on showing off her Pokémon—but how?

Meanwhile, the local media is sniffing around the area, hoping to get a shot of Wallace. Wallace just wants to avoid the spotlight and relax with his Milotic, but Dawn and her friends accidentally bump into him anyway. Even though it's his day off, Wallace still offers to take a look at some of Dawns Contest moves. That makes Dawn nervous, so Ash offers to let her strut her stuff in a friendly battle instead.

After Wallace sees Dawns Piplup go a couple rounds against Ash's Buizel, he suggests that Ash use Buizel to enter the Wallace Cup, too. As for Dawn, Wallace is impressed by her obvious hard work, but he reminds her to take time to play with her Pokémon and not worry about making every move dramatic. Then Jessie, using her latest Coordinator persona, tries to impress Wallace—but Milotic ends up impressing everyone with its moves, which also help send Team Rocket on their way. A day with the famous Wallace is already a fabulous treat, but there's one more surprise in store: May is coming for a visit!

Plot

Rhonda reports from the Sinnoh Now newsroom that Contest Master Wallace, who's also a former Gym Leader from Sootopolis and the reigning Hoenn League Pokémon Champion, will be hosting the Wallace Cup at Lake Valor. Watching from a Pokémon Center, Dawn is particularly excited by the news.

Dawn turns her attention to Ash and his Pokémon training outside for their upcoming challenge at the Pastoria Gym. Inspired by Ash's drive, Dawn starts to do some training of her own. She tells her team that she knows they've been worried about her lately since her loss in the Solaceon Contest but assures them things are changing. She calls for a warm up round: Piplup whips up a Whirlpool, Buneary Bounces around, Ambipom uses Swift, and Pachirisu unleashes a Discharge. She presses them to make it bigger and more powerful, and the joint effort creates a spectacular combination. Dawn is happy with the progress but suddenly remembers Zoey's advice that the Pokémon are the main attraction in Contests. Panicking, Dawn runs out and tells them to stop, but she ends up getting struck down by Pokémon’s attacks. Ash and Brock run over to check on Dawn, but she tells them not to worry about her. Her hair becomes frizzed. She admits that she was focusing too much on making the moves big and powerful rather than on the Pokémon. Ash and Brock comfort her.

Nurse Joy approaches the group, flanked by Rhonda and her crew. Brock flirts with Joy, only for Croagunk to use Poison Jab and drag him off. Ash greets Rhonda, but she is more concerned about finding Wallace. Dawn quickly fixes her hair and asks for more information. Ash and Brock don't know who Wallace is so Rhonda shows them a magazine with Wallace and his signature Pokémon Milotic on the cover. Dawn says that every Coordinator, including herself, wants to meet superstar Wallace. Rhonda informs everybody that Wallace regularly travels across the Kanto and Hoenn regions holding and promoting Pokémon Contests bearing his name, the Wallace Cup, that the Wallace Cup Aqua Ribbon counts as an official Ribbon at any region’s Contest competitions, and that this year's Wallace Cup is taking place at Lake Valor. Brock says that Lake Valor is right on the way to Pastoria City. Dawn announces that she's planning on participating in the Wallace Cup. Dawn asks Rhonda more about Wallace and she says that it's Wallace's day off so his whole staff won't tell her where he is but her sources tell her he's somewhere nearby and that a piece on Wallace relaxing would be priceless. She asks Ash and his friends to tip her off if they see Wallace and leaves to continue her star search. Team Rocket overhears the entire conversation from their spying post on top of the Pokémon Center. Jessie is equally excited to compete in the Wallace Cup, and hopes to dedicate the victory to her released Dustox. James and Meowth have their doubts in Jessie’s charm offensive strategy, but endorse her enthusiasm for their own safety nonetheless.

Milotic playing with Pikachu and Piplup

Drifting fog and a melodic voice leads Ash and his friends directly to Wallace's location. Wallace greets them, admitting that he is simply glad to have the time away from his hectic schedule. As Milotic plays with Pikachu and Piplup, Dawn admires the Tender Pokémon and Wallace tells her that kinship is the most important thing when caring for Pokémon. Dawn promises not to tell anyone Wallace is here so as to not disturb his day off. Ash tells Wallace that Dawn's entering the Wallace Cup, so Wallace asks her to show him some Contest moves. Dawn is hesitant at first, and to help motivate her, Ash challenges her to a Contest Battle.

Ash sends out Buizel and Dawn chooses Piplup. Dawn is nervous to battle in front of Wallace and Brock tells him how Dawn and Ash traded Buizel and Aipom because of Aipom's love for Contests, while Buizel was more interested in regular battles. Wallace watches the short match carefully and claps and praises them after. Wallace thinks that since Buizel is fond of battles it would be interesting to see its moves in a Contest Battle and reminds Dawn that Buizel's unique battle style comes from her training with it. Wallace suggests that Ash should participate in the Wallace Cup. Ash knows Contests and regular battles are different, but he sets aside his doubts and agrees to compete after listening to Dawn’s encouragement. Wallace also praises Piplup's moves and says that Dawn has clearly spent time polishing them. However, he tells her that she may be focusing too much on well-rehearsed moves, and suggests to keep it more natural. He recommends she play with her Pokémon more often, and Dawn realizes that this is the missing aspect from her training.

Jessie comes up in her Jessilina disguise. She introduces herself and then invades Wallace's and Milotic's personal space while praising them. She calls out her Seviper and it's dressed up like a Milotic, however the costume only perplexes Wallace. James and Meowth in their own disguises drag her away, infuriating her.

Wallace and Milotic puts on a performance to show what a day of relaxing and playing can do for Pokémon. Milotic uses Safeguard to surround itself in a green light and. It follows up with Aqua Ring and water bubbles circle it and then uses Dragon Pulse, the water bubbles disperse and it flies around Ash and friends. Milotic finishes with Twister, whipping up wind and water around itself for a powerfully dramatic end. Jessie asks Wallace to teach Seviper Aqua Ring but Wallace tells her it's impossible. Wallace bids everyone farewell and looks forward to seeing them at the Wallace Cup. He and Milotic depart in a wave. Jessilina soon leaves, not without letting Dawn know she plans to win. Meanwhile, Rhonda and her crew are in the bushes. She confirms whether her cameraman filmed everything. However he reveals the battery was dead, and in her fury Rhonda accidentally hits herself on the boom mic.

Overnight, Ash and his friends watch Marian interview Wallace on TV back in the Pokémon Center. Dawn thinks she still has a long way to go before being able to appreciate what's truly special about her Pokémon. Ash and Brock remind her to relax, and repeat Wallace’s advice to play with her Pokémon. Nurse Joy comes by and informs Ash that he has a message to call the Pokémon Center in Snowpoint City. Meanwhile, in Snowpoint, a girl is sitting on a couch watching TV in the local Pokémon Center and Nurse Joy tells her she has a phone call from Ash. She stands up and reveals herself to be Ash’s former travel companion, May.
