==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
{{an|Dawn}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Zoey]] are seen in their [[Hotel Grand Lake|Lakeside Resort]] room sitting on the floor, chatting. Dawn explains the [[Johanna|her mother]]’s [[Top Coordinator]] title inspired her to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. May reveals that she struggled with Pokémon at the [[AG001|beginning of her journey]], but [[AG013|later found joy in Contests]]. A sudden crash interrupts the girls’ conversation, but it turns out to be {{Ash}} who was dreaming about being in the middle of a tough battle. Ash decides to take a walk along the [[Valor Lakefront]] with {{AP|Pikachu}}. | |||
While looking over [[Lake Valor]], Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} notice a small whirlpool in the water. A {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf|projected soul}} then emerges before returning to the lake. Ash barges into his room, hurriedly describing the projected soul to {{an|Brock}} and the girls. [[Dawn's Piplup]] uses {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash to wake him up, but Ash assures them he is fine. Then the five sit down to discuss the mysterious light at Lake Valor. Then Dawn remembers the {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit|projected soul}} [[DP001|she saw]] emerge from [[Lake Verity]] on her first day as a Trainer. May then says that while she was in [[Snowpoint City]] she heard stories about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that lives in [[Lake Acuity]]. Zoey, being from Snowpoint City herself, confirms this as she heard the same stories when she was young. Zoey admits that the three [[Sinnoh]] lakes have similar legends, and Brock considers whether these sightings are connected to the Spae-Time legend. | |||
The second round of the [[Wallace Cup]] begins the next day. [[Wallace]] greets the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s. The match ups are announced, and Dawn finds out that she will be the first to battle. Spurred on by her friends, Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to battle the unnamed Trainer's {{p|Wailmer}}. Wailmer shoots out a {{m|Brine}}, which sends Buneary into the air and costs Dawn some early points. Buneary then uses the spout to perform somersaults, causing Wailmer's Trainer to lose points. Buneary then uses {{m|Bounce}} continuously on Wailmer, and its Trainer loses even more points. Then Wailmer approaches with {{m|Surf}}, causing Dawn to lose points before Buneary takes control of the situation with a spin. Buneary strikes her opponent with some {{m|Dizzy Punch}}es. Wailmer retaliates with {{m|Hidden Power}}, but Buneary leaps out the way and races towards Wailmer as the Hidden Power follows her. She bounces off Wailmer and out of the way, and Hidden Power hits Wailmer instead. Wailmer tries a {{m|Body Slam}}, but Buneary's {{m|Ice Beam}} freezes it solid and it falls back into the pool. Finally, the timer reaches zero, and Dawn and Buneary win. Her friends also do well; Ash and {{AP|Buizel}} defeat a {{p|Kecleon}}, [[Zoey's Shellos]] knocks a {{p|Mareep}} out with {{m|Mud Bomb}} while May and {{TP|May|Skitty}} use {{m|Blizzard}} to clear the round. | |||
[[Jessie]], as Jessilina, is on the sidelines, upset that she did not make it to the second round. {{MTR}} and [[James]] try to cheer Jessie up by suggesting they become reporters. Jessie returns with her bold Jessadia disguise, ready to take the media by storm. Later, Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} advance to the semi-finals after winning their next round, this time over a girl with her {{p|Pelipper}}. | |||
Now it's Ash's turn to battle, this time with {{si|Kyle}}. Ash sends out Buizel, and Kyle sends out {{p|Lanturn}}. Dawn scans Lanturn on her [[Pokédex]], and the others are concerned because Lanturn's part {{t|Electric}} gives it the [[Type#Type effectiveness|advantage]] over {{t|Water}} Pokémon like Buizel. Lanturn starts things off with {{m|Charge}}, with the powerful display causing Ash to lose points. Buizel launches a {{m|Sonic Boom}} into the water, knocking Lanturn high into the air, also including a point loss. However, that gives Lanturn the added height to launch a direct {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Buizel, who is left paralyzed. Kyle confidently declares he already knows all of Ash's strategies because Ash decided to use Buizel in all the Contest rounds. Lanturn launches {{m|Ice Beam}}, costing Ash points. Ash calls for an {{m|Aqua Jet}} with a spin, and the improvised "Ice Aqua Jet" strikes Lanturn. Buizel gets hit by {{m|Hydro Pump}} and then returns to the stage. Buizel then uses {{m|Water Pulse}}, but fails due to Laturn’s counter Thunderbolt. The collision creates a shower, catching Ash and Buizel in a short but intense downpour. Just then time runs out, and Kyle has the most points, eliminating Ash from the Wallace Cup. Afterwards, Jessadia interviews Ash after his loss. Her enthusiasm however, leaves Ash nervous in front of the camera. Dawn, Zoey and May all clear the next battle rounds and will be joining Kyle in the semi-finals. Marian later compliments Jessadia's event coverage and says that she heard that Jessadia was an assistant reporter at the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. | |||
Back at the hotel, the group are sad that Ash didn't make it to the semi-finals. Dawn reminds him that she is pleased to see her "Ice Aqua Jet" technique finally perfected. Ash admits that [[Contest Battle]]s are tough, but his Buizel was moving in perfect sync and that he'd do better next time. Ash pipes up again, and looks forward to cheering everyone else on. Brock admits the competition is stiff with May versus Zoey, while Dawn still needs to beat Kyle. The three girls vow do the best and hope for photo finish. | |||
The following day, Marian announces that today is the final day of the Wallace Cup. In preparation for her semi-finals match, Dawn offers Piplup some encouragement before [[recall]]ing him and placing him into a [[Ball Capsule]]. Marian calls for the time to begin, so Dawn calls out Piplup with a Foamy [[Seal]] and Kyle calls out his {{p|Crawdaunt}}. Piplup twirls into action with a Bubble Beam, while Crawdaunt uses {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to counter. | |||
