Episode 51: Wallace Cup Outcome Friend vs. Friend
The very next day, the audience is sitting at the stands for the first round Semi Finals of the Wallace Cup. Akira and Chase are sitting at the bleachers with Pikahu, Alistair, Winnie, Pichu, and the new Dratini Twins.
Lillian is on stage and says, "Today is the final day of the Wallace Cup and it's about to begin. Please Wallace, a few words.
"We go from the Semi Finals to the Finals straight away. Now, which one of our Coordinators will be taking home the Wallace Cup?" Wallace says.
On the screen it shows Jeanie and Hana with their points circle and five minutes on the clock.
Lillian announces, "It's now for the first round of the Semi Finals. We have Hana… and Jeanie. We have five minutes on the clock, so let's get busy!"
"Bellossom, I choose you!" Hana calls out.
Jeanie does the same, "Persian, come on out!"
At the stand, Chase says, "Bellossom against Persian, huh."
"I wonder how this is going to turn out," Akira says.
Hana calls out, "Bellossom, use Bullet Seed!"
Bellossom then performs Bullet Seed.
Jeanie calls out, "Persian, use Power Gem!"
Persian performs the attack too. They both collide creating a big explosion. They both end up losing a few points.
Hana calls out, "Bellossom, use Petal Blizzard!"
Bellossom uses Petal Blizzard creating a storm of flower petals.
Jeanie calls out, "Persian, use Icy Wind!"
Persian performs Icy Wind that is so powerful that it stops the Petal Blizzard. Bellossom is soon blown away by the Icy Wind, and Hana loses a few points.
Hana says, "So Persian is more skilled than I thought. "
Jeanie says, "Now Perisan, use Pay Day!"
Persian then begins to perform Payday creating multiple balls and coils begin to appear.
"Bellossom, jump!" Hana calls out.
Bellossom dodges the attack with a jump and spins.
Then Hana says, "Now, use Magical Leaf!"
Bellossom spins around as she performs the Magical Leaf and the Pay Day are sucked into it.
Jeanie says confused, "I didn't know Magical Leaf can be used like that."
Then Jeanie calls out, "Perisan, Shadow Claw!"
Persian begins to perform Shadow Claw and aim towards Bellossom.
"Bellossom, now!" Hana calls out.
Bellossom stops spinning and aims the powers directly at Persian, causing a lot of damage, and making Jeanie lose points. Persian then falls to the ground. Once that happens, the timer reaches Zero.
Lillian says, "Times up, moving on to the finals will be…"
On the scoreboard, it shows that Hana has more points than Jeanie.
"And it's Hana," Lillian announces.
Hana happily says, "We did it, Bellossom."
Bellossom jumps into Hana's arms.
Jeanie pets Persian, "You did great Persian."
Persian meows in reply and licks Jeanie on the cheek.
In the dressing room, Diana is happy and surprised at the same time.
"Wow! Hana actually beat Jeanie, and both her and Blossom performed it perfectly," Diana says.
Then says, "And now, it's my turn."
In the audience, Akira, Chase, and the Pokemon watch in amazement.
"Alright, Hana made it to the finals," Akira says.
"And now it's Diana's turn," Chase says.
"Yeah. And she will need to beat Athena to get to the finals," Akira says.
On the scoreboard, it shows Athena and Diana's pictures along with their points and timer.
"And now it's time for Round two of the Wallace Cup Semi Finals. We have Diana vs. Lady Athena .We got five minutes on the clock so let's get started!" Lillian says.
Athena throws her Pokeball as she calls out, "Glaceon, out you come!"
"Ember, take the stage!" Diana calls out and throws her Pokeball.
Both Pokemon come out of their Pokeballs and are ready to battle.
Diana calls out, "Ember, Flamethrower!"
Quilava begins to attack Glaceon with full force.
Athena calls out, "Glaceon, dodge!"
"Ember, use swift!" Diana says.
Ember then uses swift.
"Glaceon, dodge!" Athena says, and Glaceon dodges the attack.
Then Athena says, "Now, use Ice Fang!"
"Ember, use Flamewheel!" Diana calls out.
Ember then uses Flamewheel and both of the attacks collide. Soon, they find a thick mist covering the area. Diana is surprised to see this. Soon, both of them lose some points.
Athean then calls out, "Ice Shard!"
Glaceon performs Ice Shards and it attacks Ember with full force.
Diana asks, "Ember, are you okay?"
Ember nods her head.
"You're doing wonderfully, Glaceon," Athena says.
Athena says, "Now Glaceon, use Iron Tail!"
"Ember dodge," Diana says.
However, Ember didn't dodge, instead Ember's back begins to glow as Glaceon gets close. And then, flaming lava like moves strike at Glaceon with full force. Hana and the others are soon amazed to see the move Ember just perform.
Hana says, "That move is Eruption."
Diana says in amazement, "Ember, you learned a new move!"
"Quilava," Ember happily says.
Glaceon lands on her feet as she slides on the ground.
"Now Quilava, use Aerial Ace!" Diana says.
With that, Quilava charges at Glaceon.
Athena calls out, "Glaceon, Ice Beam!"
Glaceon then fires the Ice Beam and both of the moves collide with one another. Suddenly, the timer stops at zero.
Lillian announces, "Times up!"
Athena and Diana stop as Hana and the others wait to see the results. On the screen it shows that Athena and Diana's points are so close that it's almost impossible to tell who won this round.
Lillian then says, "The second Coordinator who will be battling in the Final round will be… Diana!"
Then the picture of Diana is shown on the screen.
Diana happily says, "We won!"
"Quilava!" (We did it!) Ember happily says.
Athena kneels to Glaceon who is sad that they lost, "It's okay girl, you were very elegant back there. Well, win next time."
The judges say that it's a great battle that Diana and Athena perform.
Wallace then says, "Thanks to the two of you for a brilliant performance, and now it's time for the Finals!"
Diana smiles, "Now it's me against Hana in the finals.
In the dressing room, Hana says in surprise, "Wow, so I'm going to be in the finals against Diana."
In the audience, Chase, Akira, and Jeanie are interested to see how the finals are going to turn out.
"So now it's Hana against Diana. This will be tough. They both know each other very well," Chase says.
"Sounds like it will be hard to know who will win the Aqua Ribbon at this point," Jeanie says.
"I saw we're in for an amazing battle," Akira says.
"Pika pika," (I hope they both do great.) Alistair says.
"Pika Pika," (I'm rooting for both of them) Pikachu says.
Winnie, and the Dratini Twins call out with glee.
After the short break, the Finals started. Hana and Diana are standing on opposite ends of the battle field and are ready to begin their battle against each other.
Lillian announces, "So, we've been here in Sunny Town for three days, filled with fun and thrills. But now, it's time for the event we all have been waiting for. The Wallace Cup's Final Stage. One my left we have Diana. And on my right is Hana."
Wallace says, "This will be a treat for all you contest fans out there. So let's cheer these two contest coordinators to the final round and their stunning Pokemon as well. I welcome you to my stage."
"Thanks," Diana and Hana reply.
"The timer for the Wallace Cup Final stage will be fine minutes, so let's get started," Lillian says.
And with that, the battle begins.
Hana calls out, "Alright, let's go. Bounsweet!"
Hana throws her Pokeball and Bounsweet comes out of its Pokeball.
"Bounsweet!" (Ready to go!) Bounsweety happily says.
Diana then throws her Pokeball, "Alright Eevee, take the stage!"
Eevee comes out of its Pokeball and shouts, "Eevee!" (Let's go!)
At the stand, Chase says, "This is going to be interesting. Can't wait to see what Bounsweet could do."
"Yeah. I wonder how Hana plans to show off Bounsweet?" Akira says.
Pikachu, Alistair, Winnie, and the two Dratini happily cheer.
Diana calls out, "Eevee, use Swift!"
Eevee performs Swift as they fly towards Bounsweet.
Hana calls out, "Dodge and then use Razor Leaf!"
Bounsweet dodges the attack and performs Razor Leaf. Eevee soon gets a direct hit from the Razor Leaf. Eevee falls to the ground, but she quickly gets up. However, Diana ends up losing a few points.
Hana then calls out, "Seed Bomb!"
Bounsweet then performs Seed Bomb and strikes at Eevee, causing Diana to look for points.
"Quick dodge," Diana calls out.
Eevee quickly dodges the attack and jumps in the air.
"Now, use Iron Tail," Diana calls out.
Eevee jumps in the air as its tail glows bright and shines. Hana ends up losing a few points from it. Eevee then swings its tail towards Bounsweet.
Hana calls out, "Alright Bounsweet, use Light Screen!"
Bounsweet uses a light screen to protect herself from Eevee's attack.
"And now, use bounce!" Hana calls out.
Bounsweet bonuses to push Eevee back. Eevee is pushed back and falls to the ground.
"You okay, Eevee?" Diana asks.
Eevee quickly gets up.
Daian calls out, "Now, use Swift!"
Eevee then performs swift again, giving Bounsweet damage.
Hana then calls out, "Energy ball!"
Bounsweet then performs an energy ball.
Diana calls out," Jump and dodge!"
Eevee jumps with a spin and dodge the energy ball.
Hana says, "Looks great, but now it's my turn! Bounsweet, use Rapid Spin!"
Bounsweet then hurries on the stage and uses Rapid Spin, giving Eevee a critical hit. Diana ends up looking more pointed as Eevee ends up being hit and spins in the air.
"Eevee, snap out of it!" Diana calls out.
Eevee is able to regain herself and spins around until she lands on her feet on the ground. Hana ends up losing a few more points.
"Bounsweet, use Seed Bomb!" Hana calls out.
Diana calls out, "Eevee, use swift!"
Eevee uses swift that counters the Seed Bomb, and Bounsweet ends up taking damage.
Diana then calls out, "Now use tackle!"
Eevee then charges at Bounsweet.
But Hana calls out, "Bounsweet, dodge!"
Bounsweet quickly dodges the attack.
"And now, Magical leaf!" Hana calls out.
Eevee ends up taking a critical attack and falls to the ground, and Diana loses more points. It's close to thirty seconds on the clock until the battle is over. At this moment, Hana has more points than Diana. At the same time, Eevee struggles as she is standing on her little feet.
"Eevee, are you okay?" Diana asks.
Eevee nods her head, "Eevee!" (Yes!)
"Glad to hear it. Remember, we don't have time left, but I know that we can win this. We just need to do this a little longer. So let's win this," Diana says.
Determined, Eevee answers, "Eevee!" (Yeah!)"
Suddenly, a strange glowing blue ribbon comes out of Eevee's fur and reaches out to Diana's wrapping it around her wrist.
Song:
Mirai no watashi ni wa donna iro ga niau?
(What color suits the future me?)
Just then, Eevee begins to glow and her body begins to change its shape.
Song:
Karafuru ni kimete issho ni tabeyo
(Let's choose a colorful palette and eat together)
Seeing this leave the audience gasp in surprise, shock, and amazement. Even, Jeanie, and the others are shocked.
Chase asks, "Could it be…?"
"I think it is…" Akira says.
"Eevee is…" Jeanie adds.
Song:
Wan tsuu surii
(One, two, three)
Hana, Bounsweet, the judges and announcer, and even Diana are shocked to see Eevee glowing and know it can only mean one thing.
Song:
Yozora no nagareboshi negai wo sagasu kedo
(There's a shooting star in the night sky, so I try thinking of a wish,)
Diana says, surprised, "You're evolving!"
Song:
Mayotteru uchi no dokoka e kieteku no
(But while I contemplate, it disappears off somewhere)
Eevee continues to glow as her legs grow long and her ears long and pointy, she also gains what looks like long ribbons with a bow on one of her ears. The glow disappears to reveal that Eevee is no longer Eevee anymore.
Instead, Eevee is now a quadruped, mammalian Pokémon covered with pale cream-colored fur with pink feet, ears, and tail. It has light blue eyes, long ears with blue interiors and thicker fur, a tiny nose, and two stray tufts of fur on top of its head. There are two bows on its body: one at the base of its left ear and one on its neck. Each bow is pale cream with a pink center and trails a pair of ribbon-like feelers. The feelers are pale cream with light blue tips. Before the tip of each feeler is a pink and then a dark blue stripe. It has slender legs with small, three-toed paws and a fluffy, slightly curved tail.
The Pokemon says, "Veon!"
Song:
Demo ne yatto mitsuketa n da
(Yet you see, I finally thought of ones;)
Hontou no watashi ga mune ni tsumujikaze wo okosu
(The true me stirs up a whirlwind inside my chest)
Diana says astonished, "Sylveon."
Diana brings out her Pokedex and Dexter says, "Sylveon, the Intertwining Pokémon and the evolved form of Eevee. Sylveon wraps it's ribbonlike feelers around the arm of its beloved Trainer and walks with him or her."
Song:
DoriDoriDoriimu Pawaa! DoriDori Pawaa!
(DreaDreaDream Power! DreamDream Power!
Watashi-tachi → kiseki no chikara
(We → the strength of a miracle)
Diana smiles, "That is great, you evolved and you look very beautiful."
"Veon," Sylveon happily says.
Song:
Doriimu Pawaa! DoriDori Pawaa!
(Dream Power! DreamDream Power!)
Yume mita toki kara hajimaru no
(It began the moment I started dreaming)
"That's great Diana," Hana calls out.
At the stand, Chase says, "Looks like we're in for an interesting battle."
"Yeah. I have never seen a Sylveon before," Jeanie says.
Song:
Egai datte namide datte ashita ni dekoreeshon!
(Smiling faces and tears are decorations for tomorrow!)
Sankyu! Kimi to futari
(Thank you! The two of us,)
Lillian says, "Wow! An evolution right in the middle of the final round of the Wallace Cup. Talk about real excitement.
Song:
Susume! Atarashii "daisuki" wo oikakete
(We'll move forward! We'll chase after a new "love")
"And now we will add another 30 seconds on the clock. Now with a minute left on the clock. Let's finish this final round," Lillian announces.
Song:
Kitaihazure na mainichi datte jiyuudo Hyakuppa de nurikaete ikerunda
(Let's go and rewrite 1000% of everyday disappointment with a certain degree of freedom)
Diana calls out, "Alright Sylveon, use Swift!"
Sylveon then begins to use swift.
Hana calls out, "Bounsweet dodge, and use Magical Leaf!"
Song:
Hiroi kono sekai de kimi to meguriaeta
(I got to meet you in this vast world)
Bounsweet dodges the attack as she is in the air, Magical Leaf begins to perform the attack and flies right towards Sylveon.
Song:
Kotoba yori motto tsuyoku musubarete iru
(We are connected by something stronger than words)
Diana calls out, "Sylveon dodge it!"
Song:
Hitori yori futari
(We are one)
However, Sylveon performs a different move all together, creating pink like wind with her ribbons.
At the stand Chase, Akira, and Jeanie are surprised.
Akira says, "That's Fair Wind!"
Diana says, amazed, "You learned a brand new move!"
Hana calls out, "That's cool, but we still have a battle."
"Right. So let's finish this. Sylveon, use Iron Tail!" Diana says.
Song:
DoriDoriDoriimu Pawaa! DoriDori Pawaa!
(DreaDreaDream Power! DreamDream Power!)
Sylveon then uses Iron Tail on Bounsweet.
Song:
Watashi-tachi → kiseki no chikara
(We → the strength of a miracle)
Hana then calls out, "Rapid Spin!"
Bounsweet Rapid spin and Sylveon Iron Tail collide with each other, pushing each other back.
Song:
Doriimu Pawaa! DoriDori Pawaa!
(Dream Power! DreamDream Power!)
Diana calls out, "Fairy Wind!"
"Magical Leaf, Bounsweet!" Hana calls out.
Song:
Yume mita toki kara hajimaru no
(It began the moment I started dreaming)
Both of the Pokemon perform the attack and they collide with each other to create powerful winds of pink and rainbow color petals, making everyone in awe.
At the same time, the timer reaches zero.
Song:
Egai datte namide datte ashita ni dekoreeshon!
(Smiling faces and tears are decorations for tomorrow!)
Lillian announces, "Time's up!"
Diana and Sylveon along with Hana and Bounsweet stop in their tracks.
Lillian says, "That was a perfect final stage!And the winner of the Final Round of the Wallace Cup and takes the Aqua Ribbon is..."
Song:
Sankyu! Kimi to futari
(Thank you! The two of us,)
On the screen it shows that Diana and Hana are close to losing all their points and practically too close to tell who is the winner. Suddenly, it shows a picture of Diana with her Sylveon and the Aqua Ribbon.
Lillian says, "And it's Diana with her newly evolved Sylveon!"
Song:
Susume! Atarashii "daisuki" wo oikakete
(We'll move forward! We'll chase after a new "love")
Diana and Sylveon are surprised to see that they have won.
Diana shouts with excitement, "Yippie!"
Sylveon then runs to Diana with glee and into her arms.
Diana hugs Sylveon, "Oh Sylveon, you not only evolve but you also won the Wallace Cup!"
Bounsweet begins to feel sad that it lost.
Hana picks up Bounsweet, "You did a great job Bounsweet! So don't feel sad."
"Bounsweet," (Okay.) Bounsweet says.
Hana turns to Diana, "Hey Diana, you and Sylveon were great. Congratulations!"
Contesta says, "That is a battle that truly brought out the inner beauty of both Coordinators' Pokemon."
"Yes. It was truly remarkable," Sukizo says.
"Both Sylveon and Bounsweet were perfectly united with their Coordinator, and Eevee evolved into Sylveon also showed it," Nurse Joy says.
Sometime later, Diana along with her Pokemon are with the judges and Lillian.
Lillian announces, "And now, it's time for Wallace to say a few words to our big winner, Diana."
Wallace says, "That was wonderful. You displayed true elegance out there. A lovely end to a lovely contest. Diana, you are truly a Coordinator of the highest order."
"And so I'm happy to present to you your win, the Aqua Ribbon," Wallace says, presenting the ribbon in his hand.
Milotic uses a small aqua ring to lift the ribbon in the air and levitates it to Diana.
"Please, take it and enjoy it," Wallace adds.
Daian presents her hands as the Aqua Ribbon lands on it.
Diana blushes and says, "Oh Wallace, thank you."
At the stands, everyone claps and cheers for Diana's win, especially Hana and the others.
"Alright Diana, she won her final ribbon," Hana says.
"And now it will be time for her to compete in the Grand Festival," Chase says.
"Yeah. I can't wait to see it," Akira says.
Wallace says, "I am truly happy to have met such a wonderful group of Pokemon and made so many new friends. My wish now is that someday in the near future we will meet here again for another exciting event. At the next Wallace Cup!"
Milotic then spray water in the air and sprinkle sparkling water in the air with the audience cheer with excitement.
After the Wallace Cup, Hana, Diana, and the guys are getting ready to continue on their journey. Jeanie plans to do the same.
Jeanie hugs Diana, "Congratulations Diana, you and Sylveon were great."
"Thanks. I can't believe I finally won my fifth and final ribbon and now I get to compete in the Grand Festival," Diana says.
"Yeah. Now it's my turn to earn my five ribbons and get a chance to compete in the Grand Festival too," Jeanie says.
"I know you will, good luck," Diana says.
"You took on your training," Jenaie says.
Then turns to Hana, "And Hana, good luck on getting to the Pokemon League."
"Thanks," Hana says.
Hana and the others part away with Jeanie as they continue on their journey. Now that Diana has gained her fifth and final ribbon, it will be the matter of time for her to compete in the Kanto Grand Festival. And Hana will continue to train for the Kanto Pokemon League. As their journey continues.
