It is hosted and judged by former [[Sootopolis Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] and current [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, the {{pkmn|Contest}} Master [[Wallace]]. | ||
The most recent Wallace Cup was announced in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' on ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'', where {{an|Dawn}} found out about it and became excited. Eventually, she, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}} ran into Wallace himself, who was relaxing with his {{p|Milotic}} in a lake; Ash was convinced to enter the Contest with his {{AP|Buizel}}, which he used in the three rounds he competed in before losing. | |||
{{ | ==Competition== | ||
The Wallace Cup is a special [[Pokémon Contest]] that is hosted at various locations throughout the world, and the most recent one was hosted at [[Lake Valor]] in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], with the prize being the Aqua Ribbon, a {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] that counts towards ''any'' [[region]]'s [[Grand Festival]], not merely that of the region it is won in. For this reason, [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s migrated from all around the {{pkmn|nation}} to compete in it. | |||
The competition started in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ended in ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''. Like all [[Sinnoh]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Marian]] is the [[Contest announcer|announcer]]. [[Jessie|Jessadia]], who was Jessie in disguise, also hosted the Wallace Cup with Marian. | |||

{{an|May}} traveled all the way from [[Johto]] to compete in this Contest, but she lost to {{an|Dawn}} in the final round. | |||

They include [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Sinnoh]] region and the Contest Master, [[Wallace]]. | ||

Just like | Just like regular Contests, the first round is the [[appeals round|appeals stage]]. Coordinators have their Pokémon perform various [[move]]s in order to impress the judges. Once everyone had appealed, the 16 top scoring Coordinators progressed to the second round. | ||
=== | ===Battles=== | ||
The | The second stage marks the beginning of the Wallace Cup's [[battle round]]s and shows how skilled Coordinators and their Pokémon are when put into battle. All Coordinators are matched-up randomly by computer up to the semi-finals, which is the last round that computer will choose a random match-up. Coordinators who ran out of points, had their Pokémon [[fainting|knocked out]] or had the least amount of points once the time ran out were eliminated from the Wallace Cup. | ||
