[[File:Lake Valor dry BDSP.png|thumb|250px|A dry Lake Valor after the Galactic Bomb]]
According to [[Volo]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], there are two legends as to Lake Valor's origins. The first says it was formed from a volcano crater, as [[Lake Verity]] was, while the second says it was carved out in an ancient Pokémon battle.

In Pokémon: Legends: Arceus, the player travels to Lake Valor for [[Task#Missions|Mission]] 16: The Trial of Lake Valor. In it, the players fights an {{pkmn2|Alpha}} {{p|Overqwil}} and catches or defeats it. Azelf appears after and tests the player's will by having them throw balms at Azelf as it dodges every attempt. After showing their will to keep going, Azelf gives the player "[[Azelf's Fang]]", one of the materials required to craft the [[Red Chain]].

The player returns to the lake for Mission 22: The Plate of the Lakes, where they can catch Azelf.
As part of [[Task#Requests|Request]] 89: "The Diamond Clan's Treasure", the player battles [[Adaman]] of the [[Diamond Clan]] at Lake Valor, earning the [[Adamant Crystal]] from him after winning.

During the events of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Team Galactic uses a Galactic Bomb to dry up the lake. The resulting earthquake is felt in [[Canalave City]], located at the opposite side of Sinnoh. While dried-up, what appears to be the remains of a river that flows into the lake is located to the northwest of the lake. When the lake is restored, the remnants of the river disappear and are replaced by trees. While the lake is dried up, the cavern entrance is at the level of the lakebed, but while it is filled, the entrance is at the water level.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Lake Valor has a [[Contest Hall]] where two important tournaments organized by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] were held: the [[Wallace Cup]] and the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] and the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] are located nearby. Due to its landmarks and the {{cat|Pokémon competitions}} taking place there, Lake Valor is a popular tourist destination. The [[Pokémon Contest]] events are also responsible for bringing vendors to the area, with food and merchandise stalls lining up in the large street leading to the stadium. The lake is said to be the home of {{p|Azelf}}, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] known as "The Being of Willpower".

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Lake Valor has a [[Contest Hall]] where two important tournaments organized by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] were held: the [[Wallace Cup]] and the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] and the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] are located nearby. Due to its landmarks and the {{cat|Pokémon competitions}} taking place there, Lake Valor is a popular tourist destination. The [[Pokémon Contest]] events are also responsible for bringing vendors to the area, with food and merchandise stalls lining up in the large street leading to the stadium. The lake is said to be the home of {{p|Azelf}}, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] known as "The Being of Willpower".

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived at Lake Valor for the Wallace Cup in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. They were soon joined by {{an|May}}, who traveled all the way from [[Johto]] to compete for the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. Since the competition would not start until the next day, the group decided to visit the Seven Stars Restaurant, where they formed pairs to face off against the owners of the restaurant, [[Roman]] and [[Kylie]], in [[Multi Battle|Tag Battles]], as it is required for customers to defeat them before sitting down to have a meal.

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Ash decided to go for a walk with {{AP|Pikachu}} after falling out of bed. At the lake, he briefly saw the silhouette of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} hovering over the lake's surface. Ash's encounter with the {{pkmn|category|Willpower Pokémon}} shares similarities to Dawn's encounter with {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' and {{an|Brock}}'s encounter with {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}} in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''.

In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', it was explained that Lake Valor, [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Acuity]] are the entrances to another world where the {{an|lake guardians}} reside, and the Pokémon do not actually live in the lakes themselves. In order to draw Azelf out from its homeworld, {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon Hunter}} [[J]], having been hired by [[Team Galactic]], dropped the Galactic Bomb at the lake, which created a spatial anomaly that repelled the water and forced Azelf to appear.

However, [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} were no match to [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] and were quickly defeated. After J successfully captured all three lake guardians and delivered them to [[Saturn]], her airship was struck by Mesprit and Uxie's {{m|Future Sight}}, which the two had used before being captured. This caused J's ship to crash and sink into Lake Valor. Soon after sinking, the ship exploded, leaving the fates of J and her {{TP|J|henchmen}} unknown.

Lake Valor (Japanese: リッシ Risshi Lake) is a location in the Sinnoh region, and part of the Crimson Mirelands in the Hisui region. At the center of the lake, there is a cave that is named Valor Cavern, which is home to the Legendary Pokémon Azelf, the guardian of the lake and the Being of Willpower.

The entrance to Lake Valor is blocked by two ScientistsDPBDSP or CameramenPt until the player talks to Professor Rowan at the Canalave Library after earning the Mine Badge. Team Galactic's Commander Saturn is battled here for the first time.

History

A dry Lake Valor after the Galactic Bomb

According to Volo in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, there are two legends as to Lake Valor's origins. The first says it was formed from a volcano crater, as Lake Verity was, while the second says it was carved out in an ancient Pokémon battle.

In Pokémon: Legends: Arceus, the player travels to Lake Valor for Mission 15: "The Trial of Lake Valor". In it, the players fights an Alpha Overqwil and catches or defeats it. Azelf appears after and tests the player's will by having them throw balms at Azelf as it dodges every attempt. After showing their will to keep going, Azelf gives the player Azelf's Fang, one of the materials required to craft the Red Chain.

As part of Request 89: "The Diamond Clan's Treasure", the player battles Adaman of the Diamond Clan at Lake Valor, earning the Adamant Crystal from him after winning.

During the events of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Team Galactic uses a Galactic Bomb to dry up the lake. The resulting earthquake is felt in Canalave City, located at the opposite side of Sinnoh. While dried-up, what appears to be the remains of a river that flows into the lake is located to the northwest of the lake. When the lake is restored, the remnants of the river disappear and are replaced by trees. While the lake is dried up, the cavern entrance is at the level of the lakebed, but while it is filled, the entrance is at the water level.

After DialgaDBD/PalkiaPSP/GiratinaPt has been dealt with at Spear PillarDPBDSP/the Distortion WorldPt, the lake will have been rejuvenated and can be Surfed on.

Pokémon the Series

In Pokémon the Series, Lake Valor has a Contest Hall where two important tournaments organized by the Pokémon Activities Committee were held: the Wallace Cup and the Sinnoh Grand Festival. Like in the games, the Hotel Grand Lake and the Seven Stars Restaurant are located nearby. Due to its landmarks and the Pokémon competitions taking place there, Lake Valor is a popular tourist destination. The Pokémon Contest events are also responsible for bringing vendors to the area, with food and merchandise stalls lining up in the large street leading to the stadium. The lake is said to be the home of Azelf, the Legendary Pokémon known as "The Being of Willpower".

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Ash and his friends arrived at Lake Valor for the Wallace Cup in A Full Course Tag Battle!. They were soon joined by May, who traveled all the way from Johto to compete for the Aqua Ribbon. Since the competition would not start until the next day, the group decided to visit the Seven Stars Restaurant, where they formed pairs to face off against the owners of the restaurant, Roman and Kylie, in Tag Battles, as it is required for customers to defeat them before sitting down to have a meal.

The Wallace Cup took place between Staging a Heroes' Welcome! and Strategy with a Smile! with Wallace as one of the Contest Judges. Dawn, Ash, May, Zoey, Jessilina, and Kyle were among the several Pokémon Coordinators taking part in the event. The final round pit Dawn against May and the two had a hard-fought match, with Dawn using her Piplup against May's Glaceon. When time ran out, Marian announced that Dawn had won. As a result, she was awarded the prestigious Aqua Ribbon, her second Contest Ribbon overall.

Tourists passing by the food and merch stalls

In Pruning a Passel of Pals!, Ash decided to go for a walk with Pikachu after falling out of bed. At the lake, he briefly saw the silhouette of Azelf hovering over the lake's surface. Ash's encounter with the Willpower Pokémon shares similarities to Dawn's encounter with Mesprit in Following A Maiden's Voyage! and Brock's encounter with Uxie in Uncrushing Defeat!.

In The Needs of the Three!, it was explained that Lake Valor, Lake Verity, and Lake Acuity are the entrances to another dimension where the lake guardians reside, and the Pokémon do not actually live in the lakes themselves. In order to draw Azelf out from its home dimension, Pokémon Hunter J, having been hired by Team Galactic, dropped the Galactic Bomb at the lake, which created a spatial anomaly that repelled the water and forced Azelf to appear.

After that, J proceeded to capture Azelf, prompting Mesprit and Uxie to appear at the lake. J tried to capture them as well but was challenged by Gary, who was monitoring the lake just as Professor Rowan and Professor Carolina were doing at Lake Verity and Lake Acuity, respectively. However, Gary's Umbreon and Electivire were no match to Saturn's Toxicroak and were quickly defeated. After J successfully captured all three lake guardians and delivered them to Saturn, her airship was struck by Mesprit and Uxie's Future Sight, which the two had used before being captured. This caused J's ship to crash and sink into Lake Valor. Soon after sinking, the ship exploded, leaving the fates of J and her henchmen unknown.

Although Marian announced in Fighting Ire with Fire! that the Sinnoh Grand Festival was going to be held at Lake Valor, Ash and his friends would only get there in Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!. The competition began in Last Call — First Round! and was entered by 108 Coordinators who managed to collect five Ribbons from the Sinnoh region. Among them were Dawn and her rivals Zoey, Kenny, Nando, Ursula, and Jessilina. In the final round, which took place in A Grand Fight for Winning!, Dawn found herself against her longtime friend Zoey. After a fierce battle, Zoey emerged victorious, earning the Ribbon Cup and the title of Top Coordinator.

Diamond & Pearl arc

At the end of Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, and Dr. Footstep were thrown to the Lake Valor lakeside by a sandstorm created by a wild Hippowdon. Diamond and Platinum ended up on the shore and while seeking for their comrades, Diamond told Platinum about a mysterious incident that happened to him when he was little at Lake Verity. After this, they encountered two Scientists, who intended to take them away, leading to a battle. Meanwhile, Pearl and Dr. Footstep had ended up on the opposite shore of the lake, but were thrown on an island in the middle of the lake by a wild Staraptor. In the midst of the battle between Diamond and Platinum and the Scientists, a strange light coming from the center of the lake gave Diamond and Platinum a chance to resolve the battle. Pearl and Dr. Footstep swam to the shore and saw the two Scientists tied up. After Diamond explained what had happened, Platinum fainted due to the burden of the battle. In the morning, she woke up, shocked upon noticing they had camped out the previous night, as opposed to her plan of staying at Hotel Grand Lake. After the first shock, she recovered and enjoyed the sunrise.

Later, after Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum decided to split up to stop Team Galactic, Pearl headed to Lake Valor. In Tackling Tangrowth, Team Galactic blew up the lake with the Galactic Bomb in order to awaken and capture the lake guardians. While being dragged into Valor Cavern by Saturn, Pearl revealed that he had seen a reflection of a blue-headed Pokémon on the surface of the puddle in the cavern while being there earlier. After Team Galactic had successfully captured Azelf, the dried-up lake was taken care of by Crasher Wake, who had his Quagsire and Floatzel use Rain Dance in order to refill it.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

Lake Valor debuted in The Legendary Pokémon, Captured, where Hareta arrived there to find it dried up by a Galactic Bomb detonated by Saturn, who had succeeded in capturing Azelf. While a group of Gym Leaders called into action by Byron took care of the Team Galactic Grunts present, Hareta battled and defeated Saturn. In The Battle Rages On, Cyrus arrived and berated Saturn of his failure. Since Hareta had lost his previous battle against Cyrus, he demanded to battle the Galactic Boss one-on-one. However, the battle was left unfinished when Saturn used his Rhyperior's Lightning Rod to redirect Hareta's finishing move away from Cyrus's Gyarados. After Rhyperior had been defeated by Hareta's Piplup, Cyrus took Saturn with him and left, and Byron, impressed by Hareta's strength, gave him a Mine Badge.

Trivia

  • At each of Sinnoh's lakes, a TM can be found containing a powerful move of a different type. Lake Valor's TM is the Electric-type TM25 (Thunder).
  • When the bomb is set off here, the blast is powerful enough to be felt in Canalave City on the other side of Sinnoh, but there is no damage to the Magikarp living in the lake or the surrounding area, besides the obvious crater and disappearance of water.
  • Lake Valor is the only Sinnoh lake that is not entered from the south.

Name origin

Valor means "courage". This is fitting, as Azelf is the Willpower Pokémon.

Risshi is from 立志 risshi (resolve, aspiration), as indicated by a signpost in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that provided an annotation of its name fully written in kanji as 立志湖.
