The Wallace Cup

It was about five days before the Wallace Cup and the gang couldn't wait for it. But first they had a surprise to sort through first. The mysterious call Ash got from the pokemon center was from May. May was visiting Sinnoh because she wanted to enter the Wallace Cup too. Right now the gang were waiting for her to arrive at the docks at the Lakeside Resort at Lake Valor. "This is exciting" said Dawn, who couldn't wait to meet May.

Suddenly a Delibird flew down in front of the gang. "What's this pokemon?" asked Dawn. "A Delibird" answered Brock.

Dawn looked at it on her pokedex: Delibird, the delivery pokemon. It carries food rolled up in its tail. It has the habit of sharing food with people lost in mountains.

"Hey Brock you don't suppose" said Ash. Before Ash could think, a boat arrived and May was on it. "Hello Ash, Tomo and Brock, it's been such a long time," said May, once she was off the boat. "It sure has" said Brock. "So that Delibird is yours May?" asked Tomo. "Yes it is I caught it while I was in Johto," said May, returning Delibird back into its pokeball, "and I also caught a Cleffa and an Igglybuff in Johto too". "Wow it sounds like you are doing well in Johto" said Ash. "Well kind of," said May "and I hear Ash that not are you working with pokemon contests and gym battles, I heard for doing the Battle Frontier here in Sinnoh right?" "That's right so I'm going through an awful lot" said Ash.

Dawn was happy to have met May; Ash, Tomo and Brock had told her a lot about May. "They say you are called the princess of Hoenn like Ash is the prince of Kanto" Dawn said to May. "Oh come on its embarrassing" said May, embarrassingly. "So May you said on our phone call that you were going to compete in the Wallace Cup too" said Ash. "That's right," said May "when I heard the Wallace Cup was being held here in Sinnoh I came here as fast as I could". "I am not surprised" said Brock. "So how's Max doing?" asked Ash "I hear he has started his pokemon journey now since he turned ten years old just two months ago". "He has and he loves it," said May "he has already started collecting gym badges and he's caught a few new normal type pokemon too. From what I last heard he has two Teddiursas, two Meowths, two Sentrets and two Aipoms. He also has Seedot and Wynaut". "Wow, so Max is doing well" said Ash. "I take it he still wishes to take over your dad's job as gym leader?" asked Brock. "Yep and dad of course is proud with that" said May. "So May have you caught any Sinnoh pokemon yet?" asked Tomo.

Tomo got his answer. May released a Glaceon from a pokeball. "Is that your Eevee?" asked Tomo. May explained the reason she went to Snowpoint City first was because of the icy rock in Snowpoint City so she could evolve her Eevee to Glaceon. "Yes Gary told me about that when he evolved my Eevees into Glaceon and Leafeon for me," said Ash "and we saw the moss rock in Eterna Forest where you evolve Eevees to Leafeons". May thought that was nice. "Oh and apart from Glaceon I also caught this pokemon in Snowpoint City" said May. She released a Lopunny from a pokeball. "Wow where did you get that from?" asked Dawn. "You won't believe this but I caught this while I was in Snowpoint City," said May "this Lopunny was lost wondering around in the snow and I took it to the pokemon center to warm up". "It's a good thing you did," said Brock "Lopunny would have frozen to death if you didn't help it". "Yes, well after Lopunny warmed up I caught her for my own. So I'll be going back to Johto with two new Sinnoh pokemon". "That's great" said Dawn. "So may  have you earned any Johto ribbons yet?" asked Ash. May opened up her new ribbon case, which was an orange one, and revealed 3 ribbons. "I must say though Drew and Harley and Solana have grown stronger than ever and I can't seem to beat any of them" said May. "Never mind May," said Ash "remember this is your first time going on a journey alone. And I can tell that you are working hard without any of us there to help you". "Thank you Ash" said May.
