Wallace Cup
The Wallace Cup (Japanese: ミクリカップ Mikuri Cup) is a special Pokémon Contest hosted and judged by former Sootopolis Gym Leader and current Hoenn Champion, the master Coordinator Wallace. The event was introduced in Our Cup Runneth Over!, while the actual contest took place in the episodes Staging A Heroes' Welcome!, Pruning a Passel of Pals!, and Strategy With a Smile!.
The Wallace Cup is hosted at various locations through the world, and the most recent one was hosted at Lake Valor in Sinnoh, with the prize being the Aqua Ribbon that counts towards any region's Grand Festival, not merely that of the region it is won in. For this reason, Coordinators migrated from all around the nation to compete in it.
It was announced on Sinnoh Now, where Dawn found out about it and became excited. Eventually, she, Ash, and Brock ran into Wallace himself, who was relaxing with his Milotic in a lake; Ash was convinced to enter the Contest with Buizel, which he used in the three rounds he competed in before losing.
May traveled all the way from Johto to compete in this Contest, but she lost to Dawn in the final round.
The Sinnoh Grand Festival is said to be taking place in Lake Valor, same as where this Wallace Cup was recently held.
