The '''Wallace Cup''' (Japanese: '''ミクリカップ''' ''Mikuri Cup'') is | The '''Wallace Cup''' (Japanese: '''ミクリカップ''' ''{{tt|Mikuri|Wallace}} Cup'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive {{cat|Pokémon competitions|tournament}} that is held once a year at a different location, with the host city alternating between several places {{pkmn|world}}wide. It is a [[Region|multiregional]] [[Pokémon Contest]] that attracts [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s from all around the globe, since its prize, the prestigious {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}, can be used to enter every known [[Grand Festival]]. It is promoted and judged by Contest Master [[Wallace]], hence its name. | ||
The Wallace Cup | The Wallace Cup in [[Sinnoh]] was announced on ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', where {{an|Dawn}} found out about it and decided to participate, making it her comeback to the Pokémon Contest circuit after a time mourning her two consecutive losses. Eventually, she and {{ashfr|her friends}} ran into Wallace himself, who was relaxing with his {{p|Milotic}} at a lake, where Wallace convinced {{Ash}} to enter the tournament with his {{AP|Buizel}} after witnessing a practice [[Contest Battle]] between Dawn and Ash. | ||
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Dawn announced she intended to compete in the Wallace Cup again, this time held in [[Johto]]. | |||
{{an|May}} traveled all the way from [[Johto]] to compete in | In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', Ash met up with Wallace in [[Lilycove City]] where the latter references the Wallace Cup whom Ash competed in with {{an|May}} and Dawn. | ||
==Competition== | |||
The Wallace Cup is a special, annual [[Pokémon Contest]] that is hosted at various locations throughout the [[Pokémon world]], with the prize being the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}, a unique {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] that counts towards the [[Grand Festival]] of each [[region]] known to host Pokémon Contests. For this reason, [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s migrate from all around the world to participate in the event. The competition is promoted by [[Wallace]], a well-known Contest Master who regularly travels all over the world holding the Wallace Cup. | |||
In the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], the Wallace Cup was held in the [[Contest Hall]] located on the shores of [[Lake Valor]]. The competition was featured from ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''. During the competition, Coordinators stayed at the [[Hotel Grand Lake|Lakeside Resort]]. Like all Sinnoh Pokémon Contests, [[Marian]] was the [[Contest announcer|announcer]]. [[Jessie|Jessadia]] also hosted the Wallace Cup with Marian, interviewing the contestants in between rounds. | |||
{{an|May}} traveled all the way from [[Johto]] to compete in the Wallace Cup in Sinnoh, but she lost to {{an|Dawn}} in the final round. | |||
==Rounds== | |||
[[File:Wallace Cup Judges.png|thumb|250px|The panel of judges]] | |||
Each round is judged by a panel of four individuals: the Chief of the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]]; the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman|Head]] of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], [[Mr. Sukizo]]; the [[Pokémon Center lady|operator]] of the local [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]]; and the event's titular main promoter, [[Wallace]]. | |||
===Appeals=== | |||
In the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the Wallace Cup, {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s have to show off their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s style in a visually impressive manner, displaying their [[move]]s and skills in order to appeal to the judges just like in regular [[Pokémon Contest]]s. The stage has a gigantic {{wp|swimming pool}} which contestants can use to their advantage, especially those who use {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Each performance is carefully evaluated, and after the judges' deliberation, the 16 top scoring Coordinators advance to the second round. | |||
===Battles=== | |||
The second stage marks the beginning of the Wallace Cup's [[Contest Battle]]s. All Coordinators are matched-up randomly by a computer up to the semifinals, which is the last round that the computer will choose a random match-up. The contestants move up the brackets in {{wp|Single-elimination tournament|single-elimination style}}. Those who run out of points, have the least amount of points at the end of the five-minute time limit, or have their Pokémon [[Fainting|knocked out]] over the course of a battle are automatically eliminated from the competition. After a winner is decided, Wallace presents them with the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. | |||
