Contest Arena
The audience was cheering like crazy. Despite it being many years since the Wallace Cup, Wallace still had a lot of fans, even to the point where he got sponsorship deals to advertise Pokemon Contests in other regions, such as Kalos and Unova. He was dressed in his usual outfit he wore for competitions: A white beret on top of his green hair, his purple pants with white dress shoes, and a white cape with green on the inside attached to his white sweater.
Harley on the other hand was wearing his usual attire of a Cacturne hat covering his purple almost dreadlock like hair, a black t-shirt and green jacket covering it, and green jeans with dark green on the sides of his pants.
"You have a chance to give up right now and face humiliation." Wallace said
But Harley just smirked.
"No way, I am not going to quit like a coward. Bring it on." Harley said
Waiting Room
"There's something odd about Harley." May said with a worried look on her face.
"He's facing a high ranked Coordinator in this round, and yet Harley is acting confident for some reason." Drew said in response.

"This round will be a single battle. So without further delay, you may now begin." Marina said
Wallace raised his hands to the air and released his Pokémon: Milotic.
"Cacturne I choose you." Harley said tossing his Pokeball into the air.
"Begin!" Marina shouted
The 5 minute timer appeared on the screen below the portraits of Harley and Wallace.
"Milotic, create the scene."
Milotic used its tail to jump into the air and began to spin around, using the move Twister in the process. Once that was done, Milotic used its Aqua Ring attack to create a rainbow in the sky, resulting in Harley losing a few points.
Harley was crossing his arms in response to Milotic's attack.
"Interesting. Cacturne, hit the field with Pin Missile." Harley said.
Cacturne fired its Pin Missile attack all over the field, but Milotic was unaffected by it.
"What was so great about that…" Wallace said.
But before he could finish his sentence, his face turned into one of horror as he noticed the effects of Harley's attack.
"That's no ordinary Pin Missile!"
The Pin Missile attack was beginning to sprout vines from the top of its pins, merging with the Twister attack, transforming into a tornado of vines and causing Wallace to lose a few points in the process.
"Milotic use Hydro Pump!" Wallace shouted
"I don't think so. Cacturne aim your Bullet Seed at the top of the Twister!" Harley shouted
Cacturne complied with his trainer's command and hit the Twister with his Bullet Seed attack. When they hit, it snapped the vines apart and Milotic got hit by the debris, causing Wallace to lose a lot of points.
"Milotic, use Dragon Pulse on the vines!" Wallace shouted.
Milotic aimed its Dragon Pulse attack at the vines and was able to destroy them all, but it resulted in the Twister disappearing and Milotic falling to the ground, but Wallace noticed that Cacturne wasn't there.
The area was silent for a few seconds before Wallace looked into the sky and saw Cacturne charging at Milotic with a Needle Arm attack.
"Milotic, use Hydro Pump!" Wallace shouted
There was a minute left on the timer, it appeared that this would be the final move of the match.
Despite Hydro Pump being launched, Cacturne is still charging at Milotic and hasn't slowed down at all.
In the end, Cacturne manages to hit Milotic with Needle Arm and sends it into a wall, resulting in Milotic fainting.
"The winner is Harley." Marina said
The audience was in shock. Wallace had been defeated by a cosplayer and they couldn't believe it.
But when Wallace returned Milotic to his Pokeball…
"Congratulations Harley, you have defeated me in battle. Good luck in the future rounds." Wallace said smiling
With that, the audience roared in applause.
"Thanks Wallace." Harley said
Waiting Room
Everyone was in shock that Harley defeated Wallace, especially Drew and May.
"How could that guy win?" May asked
"I don't understand this either. This guy should have lost. What did he do?" Drew asked in response.
Drew then let out a deep sigh.
"Whatever, I guess we will have to deal with this later. I'll be back in a bit May, wish me luck." Drew said smiling
"Okay, good luck Drew." May said with a smile.
Drew left the waiting room to go to his match and passed by Harley on his way.
"What gives Harley, you were never this good." Drew asked
"I guess I got a lucky break." Harley said walking away.
Drew just shrugged it off and walked to the arena to face his opponent: Robert.
