Sinnoh Region

Lake Verity

The Sinnoh Region is a place filled with ancient mysteries and powerful Pokemon. It was once said that the first region to be created off of the mass of Sanlea was the country called Hisuea (now Sinnoh). Lake Verity is an ancient place with many sightings of Mythical Pokemon believed to be unseen by those not worthy of their presence.

At the current day we whiteness the augural opening of The Wallace Cup! A Special Event in the Pokemon Contest Circuit to honor the Contest Master Sabastian Wallace! Of course our your trainers had met with the once coordinator on their way to the venue. Ash and Brock had recognized the flamboyantly dressed man by the lake as they had encountered him in Hoenn.

"Wallace! It's great to see you again! Last we saw each other you were still the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City." Ash greets shaking the man's hand.

Brock smiles doing the same, "Yes. Then we had to band together to save the world from the madness of Archie and Maxie."

"Hello boys! And yes, I on behalf of Hoenn thank you for your assistance with that crisis. Archie and Maxie were foolishly misguided in their ideas. Of course, Steven and I were also summoned by Cynthia to monitor the rising issue of Team Galactic as well. And who might this young lady be?" Greets Wallace who set his eyes on Dawn.

Dawn stepped up offering her hand, "I am Dawn Berlitz. It is an honor to meet you Sir Wallace."

He shakes her hand chuckling.

"The honor is mine. I am guessing you are here to join the Wallace Cup." Wallace says sitting lazily on the cliff.

Dawn nods grinning, "Yes I am. I want to become a Top Coordinator."

"I've seen some of your previous performances. You have potential and it seems young Ashton and Brock have been teaching you well. Which is actually why I came here. Ash, I would like to invite you to join the Wallace Cup." Wallace says looking towards the teen.

They gasped utterly surprised by the request. Then Brock smiled, the young man getting an idea on why Wallace wanted Ash to participate in the Cup. It was rare for league trainers to be associated in contests, there was a misconception that Pokemon Coordinators aren't fit to be league trainers and vis versa. Of course that notion was not true in any sense, it was merely skill that separated the two trainer types. Raw battling was hardly seen on a Contest Stage, since even in the Battle rounds all the focus was attributed to making your Pokemon shine at the expense of your opponent's own tactics.

Ash shook out of his shock, "Are you sure Wallace? I am not exactly well versed with Contests."

"I beg to differ Ash. Your ingenuity with your Pokemon's moves says otherwise. In fact the very thing that lead me to this request was after my recollection of seeing your battle with Miss Maple in the Terracotta Town Finals a year or so ago. No battle of that caliber had ever been seen on the contest stage before. A perfect mix of raw strength and elegance." Explained Wallace with a bright smile.
