Wallace Cup Round 2

Meet and Greet

"Drew! There's Snowpoint City!" May happily pointed at the snow covered city. 

"Yes May, I'm not blind." May pushed Drew playfully.  Solidad and Harley walked towards to them.

"Brock told us that the Wallace Cup is being held near Lake Acuity." Solidad informed them.

"Just like the first one was around Lake Valor." May recalled. 

"May!!" Pika pi! A boyish voice and the sound of a Pikachu rang to the group's ears. May ran up to the railing. Ash, Dawn, and Brock were waving at her. 

"Hey guys! Glad to see you again!" May called back, waving her arm. Solidad, Harley, and Drew followed May up the railing.  

"They look energetic as ever." Solidad commented. 

"Passengers! We arrived at Snowpoint City in Sinnoh. Please gather your things. We hope you travel with us again." The intercom went silent. 

"Let's get going!" May ran out.

"It going to be a free for all once we land." Drew said.

VVVVVVV

The four coordinators met up with the Sinnoh gang.

"May! It's so great to see you face to face again!" Dawn hugged May. "Yeah, I missed you too." May quickly returned the hug.

As they separated, Dawn turned to the new comers. "Hi! You must be May's friends! I'm Dawn, and this is Piplup." The proud penguin cried in greeting. "And we're going to be top coordinator one day!" Dawn announced proudly.

"I see. Same goes for us. I'm Solidad."

"If you must know, it's Harley. I'm going to be top coordinator first y'know!"

"Name's Drew. I can see how you and airhead get along." May was fuming silently from the last remark.

"I see no has changed." Brock chuckled.

"That's cool. Can't wait to battle their pokemon!" Ash raised his fist in the air. Pikachu agreed.

Although Dawn was pondering over something. "Solidad... I feel I've heard that name before...."

"Probably because Solidad won the Kanto grand festival last year!" Ash pointed out.

"You won a grand festival!!!" Dawn beamed at Solidad. "That's amazing!! You're already  a top coordinator!"

Solidad chuckled, "That may be. But as a trainer, I need to continue to improve my Pokemon. Just like you do Dawn."

"Yeah! I hope I can learn from you!"

"So anyway," Drew ended the greetings, "We need to get registered for the Wallace Cup. Do you where it is?"

"Of course! no need to worry!! It's a honor to help the Prince of Hoenn!"

"Prince of Hoenn!?" Drew was taken back, while Solidad, Harley, and May were cracking up.

VVVVVVV

"There you guys go! You're all set for the Wallace Cup." The registration lady handed back the Johto coordinators' contest passes. The three quickly thanked her, Harley just left. Ash, Brock, and Dawn were waiting for them.

"We're now officially in the Wallace Cup!!" May announced to them.

"That's great!" Dawn skipped towards them.

"Alright, don't disappoint us! Got it!" Ash grinned wildly. Pika! Pikachu held a competitive smile.

"It's you who shouldn't disappoint us." Drew took on his challenge. The two guys were ready for a duke out.
