Lake Valor was the location of both the [[Wallace Cup]] tournament and the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. Like the {{pkmn|games}}, the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] and Seven Stars Restaurant were located nearby, and Ash, Dawn, Brock, and May all battled the owners of the restaurant, [[Roman]] and [[Kylie]].
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".


In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', {{Ash}} decided to go for a walk with {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} after falling out of bed. At the lake, he had a brief encounter with the projected soul of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, similar to {{an|Dawn}}'s and {{an|Brock}}'s encounters with {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Uxie}}, respectively.
{{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.
 
The Wallace Cup took place between ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'' with [[Wallace]] as one of the [[Contest Judge]]s. {{an|Dawn}}, Ash, May, [[Zoey]], [[Jessie|Jessilina]], and {{si|Kyle}} were among the several [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s taking part in the event. The final round pit Dawn against May and the two had a hard-fought match, with Dawn using her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} against [[May's Glaceon]]. When time ran out, [[Marian]] [[Contest announcer|announced]] that Dawn had won. As a result, she was awarded the prestigious Aqua Ribbon, her second Contest Ribbon overall.

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 had a brief encounter with the projected soul of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, similar to Dawn's and {{an|Brock}}'s encounters with {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Uxie}}, respectively.


In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', it was explained that Lake Valor, as well as all three of Sinnoh's lakes, are the entrances to another world where the {{an|lake guardians}} reside, and they do not actually live in the lakes themselves.

In the same episode, [[Pokémon Hunter]] [[J]] dropped the Galactic Bomb, which created a spatial anomaly that removed or repelled the water. This drew Azelf out from its home, followed by {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}} and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}}, who both arrived when their comrade was captured. J was challenged by {{Gary}}, who was working with [[Professor Rowan]], but [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] quickly took care of his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}. After J had 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 [[Legendary Pokémon]] had used before being captured, causing the ship to crash and sink into Lake Valor. The ship exploded soon after sinking, leaving J's fate unknown.
