This will be the final chapter of the Wallace Cup! Last time, Alexis and Molly claimed victory in their matches and will now face each other in the finals!
El Torro: Thanks, I'm here to please, lol. In retrospect, I think the Alexis vs Lucas was more of a contest than Molly vs Tyson. But the latter was intense too. And Sycamore will be explaining more of Synchro Evolution in the near future! Let's all hope that Alexis and Hawlucha can defend themselves from the terror of Molly and Dewott!
ShadowDragon9000: Yes! Shadow's approval! On a more serious note, the Synchro showdown was intense, but Molly and Dewott haven't shown their powerful bond yet!
Warrior of Hope: I'm glad you've been enjoying the Wallace Cup! Can't wait to see your version then, lol. The first match was more of a contest, which I'll try to make this one be.
JustinThePokemonMaster: I was thinking about doing that match, but Synchro came along, and well, made plans bigger
potat lasaro: I felt the same way too, but along the way writing the fight, I felt content. The Lumiose Arc will be the start off some intense parts, and I'll say this, Tyson-Greninja will make his debut during the Lumiose Arc!

Chapter 43: Conclusion! Dancing Hawk vs Elegant Otter
"Folks, this is the conclusion to the Wallace Cup!" Wallace exclaimed, receiving the crowd's cheers behind around him. "On my left is brunette with both beauty and power under her disposal, Alexis Miller!"
Alexis waved to the hundreds of fans around her. She had a small smile, both of excitement and nervousness.
"And on my right, the girl that wins with a royal flare and stands above all, Molly Plateau!"
This time, the audience filled the stadium with cheers for the blonde trainer. Molly waved around to the people, then faced her friend, both clenching a single capsule.
"Molly, no matter what happens, let's give it our all!" Alexis said, raising her spherical device. Molly nodded and raised her own.
"Let's hope you can keep up with me, Alexis!" Molly joked. "Dewott, on stage!" Out from her containment, Dewott flew out and landed majestically on a pad.
"Hawlucha, it's time to shine!" Alexis called, releasing her hawk. Hawlucha did a few laps around the building before standing proudly on a floating block. The duo looked at one another before bowing.
"With 5:00 on the clock, this will be a match between Dewott and Hawlucha! Begin!"
Alexis- 100
Molly- 100
"Start off with Water Pulse!" Molly announced.
Dewott created a ball of water in her palms and then whipped it forward. Hawlucha went into a fighting stance, awaiting his trainer's counterattack.
"Break through with Brick Break!"
Hawlucha nodded and lifted his glowing arms. The hawk took off towards the flying orb and immediately broke it in half and flew by. The water sphere destroyed behind Hawlucha, which simulated an explosion of blue sparkles.
Alexis- 100
Molly- 90
"Now fly with Aqua Jet!"
Dewott was engulfed in a geyser of clear blue water before flying towards Hawlucha.
"Counter with Wing Attack!" Alexis retorted.
The Wrestling Pokemon's wings glowed a bright white shine as he flew towards the speeding Dewott. Hawlucha pushed his wings in front of him, acting as a shield. Dewott eventually clashed with Hawlucha's wings and pushed both of them back.
Alexis- 95
Molly- 85
"Hawlucha, use Flying Press!" Alexis commanded, throwing her hand up.
The hawk landed on a floating block before flying high into the sky. Dewott and Molly had to cover their eyes, due to Hawlucha being cloaked by the sun. However, a shadow appeared right on the sun with its hands out. The crowd cheered for Hawlucha, who casted his shadow perfectly.
Alexis- 95
Molly- 75
"Not on our watch! Dewott, cut Hawlucha off with Aerial Ace!"
Dewott leaped off the floating block and flew into the air. As the Kalos Pokemon was descending, Dewott flew below him. Since Hawlucha didn't see the incoming otter and was slashed in the chest.
Alexis- 85
Molly- 75
"Regain your composure with Roost!" Alexis instructed, which made Molly bite her lip.
Hawlucha extended his arms and legs as his wings glowed once more. This time, the feathers spun around the Wrestling Pokemom, illuminating the space. The lost feathers descended and covered Dewott.
Alexis- 85
Molly- 60
"Shoot Hawlucha down with Hydro Pump!" Molly roared.
In the feathers, Dewott emerged, sending the feathers flying around the stadium. The feathers have Dewott's coat a slight glow to it, which captivated the audience.
Alexis- 80
Molly- 60
Dewott then shot a blast of dark blue water around the arena. The water caught every glowing feather and made the water shine.
Alexis- 75
Molly- 60
"Look at this folks! Without even leaving her place, Molly and Dewott have decreased Alexis' points by 15 points!" Wallace announced, making the crowd roar with excitement. "Is this the beginning of a comeback for the Royal Blonde of Kalos?"
"Once you've collected every feather, take Hawlucha out the sky!" Molly said, making her Unova starter nod.
Dewott picked up the remaining glowing feathers with her water and then leaned in Hawlucha's direction. Alexis smirked and threw her hand out.
"Use Fire Punch!" Alexis shouted, shocking everyone except her Hawlucha.
Hawlucha made a fist, which was instantly engulfed in flames. The hawk pivoted his body and used the momentum to strike the water blast. The two attacks began to fight over dominance until the flying type broke through. The Wrestling Pokemon flew through as the feathers reflected some light off onto the hawk.
Alexis- 75
Molly- 55
"Stop him with X-Scissor!"
Dewott smirked as she grabbed her scalchops from her thighs. Holding her arms over one another on her chest, she shot both out as Hawlucha raced downward. The dual type was stopped by the green 'X' and flew into a wall.
Alexis- 65
Molly- 55
"Hawlucha!" Alexis called, looking at her Pokemon. The hawk flew down in front of Alexis and turned around to face her.
"Don't worry," Hawlucha confirmed. "I can continue."
"Alright, let's go with Wing Attack!" Alexis ordered.
Hawlucha spreaded his wings out and began to fly forward once again. His wings glowed the same bright light as Molly pointed forward.
"Counter with Razor Shell!"
Dewott's scalchops resembled blue swords as she ran forward. The Discipline Pokemon began to jump from pad to pad and them came in contact with Hawlucha. The two were locked in a collision as both powerhouses wouldn't let up. Suddenly, something snapped in Alexis' mind as she spoke up again.
"Now use Brick Break!"
Hawlucha put his wings over his body as Dewott continued to break through. However, she got her wish as the hawk opened his wings and sent a barrage of punches Dewott's way. The otter wasn't able to keep up and was pushed back onto a floating block.
Alexis- 65
Molly- 45
"And Hawlucha retaliates with a flurry of punches! Is it over for Molly and Dewott?" Wallace spectated, trying to rile the crowd. Molly and Dewott lifted their heads in unison and looked at their opponents.
"As long as we have energy left," they spoke. "We can still go on!"
A huge geyser of water swallowed Dewott whole as Amber eyes shone through the already beautiful water. The crowd let out huge roars as Alexis saw her points drop tremendously due to Dewott's beauty in the geyser of water.
Alexis- 55
Molly- 45
"Hawlucha, use Brick Break once more!" Alexis commanded. Neither her or Hawlucha were aware of Dewott's enhanced power.
Hawlucha pushed his arms out and began hoping block by block. Dewott continued to let out a huge roar as Molly began to flinch. Alexis saw this and then paid attention to the engulfed water type.
"Tyson wasn't able to counter this weird change," Alexis stated. "How can I do something that Tyson couldn't? And now Molly is fearful about Dewott. It would be easier to win, but that's not the right way."
"Molly, you need to focus!" Alexis called out, grabbing the blonde's attention. "Whatever this change is, it's the product of you and Dewott's bond. Embrace the power! Show everyone watching what you two are made of!" Molly's eyes widened at her friend's statement. She began to unclench a fist and looked forward.
"You're right. I'm not going to falter now, not after everything Dewott and I have been through!" Molly responded, which made Alexis smile and nod. "Stop Hawlucha with a Water Pulse barrage!"
Dewott began to calm down as two water orbs laid on her hands inside the geyser. The Discipline Pokemon dashed forward and collided with Hawlucha's hands. This time, the hawk wasn't able to break through as he was thrown back by Dewott's power.
Alexis- 45
Molly- 45
"With 1:30 left on the clock, the duo's points are now even!" Wallace shouted, making the crowd cheer with excitement. "Stay on the edge of your seats, because I can guarantee there will be some high tides during this last hurdle!"
"You know it, Wallace!" Alexis announced, snapping her fingers. "Hawlucha, test the strength with Wing Attack!"
Hawlucha nodded and took off into the sky. The Wrestling Pokemon's wings glowed a bright white as he made his way towards Dewott once more. Molly had a huge smile on her face as she pointed in front of her.
"Blast them with Hydro Pump, Dewott!" Molly yelled.
Dewott shot another stream of dark blue water and used most of the water from her geyser coat. Alexis raced her eyes around the field before throwing her arm to the side.
"Spin around it!" Alexis instructed, which shocked Molly.
Hawlucha twirled around the blast of water elegantly. The hawk was able to avoid getting a sprinkle of water on him and flew high into the air once more.
Alexis- 45
Molly- 40
Hawlucha then landed on a free floating pad before looking at Dewott and Molly, who looked at each other.
"Alright, show'em your power!" Molly announced.
Dewott's coat of water began to move all around her body. The water moved around her neck, as a coat of amber hair spiked up. Along with that, the water moved to her thighs and arms as her scalchops laid on her backhands. Her engulfed tail straightened out and had a tip of amber hair. Dewott began to grow several sharp teeth, most notably two in her front row. The Unova Pokemon roared once more, showing off her new form.
Alexis- 35
Molly- 40
"And Molly's Dewott has transformed into some sort of lion form!" Wallace said, eyes glued to Dewott.
"Dewott, you're beautiful," Molly complemented.
"Thanks, it's all thanks to you," Dewott responded. "Now, let's take the Aqua Ribbon home!"
"Right! Razor Shell!"
Dewott's scalchops shot a water energy from them, which resembled swords. Dewott looked at her new form once more before flying forward, using the water as momentum. Alexis, who was just as captivated as anyone, thought of a set of steps, but bit her lip.
"Ma'am!" Hawlucha shouted, regaining his trainer's attention. "Whatever's on your mind, I'll do it! We can win this!" Alexis smiles as she punched a fist forward.
"Ok, slam a Fire Punch on the pool!"
Hawlucha made a fist as he saw Dewott flying around the stadium, water flying from her waist down. Sparks became flames as the orange and red flames swirled around it. Waiting for the right time, which was given, Hawlucha punched the pool, which created a huge steam cloud. Dewott stopped in her tracks and stood on the water. She looked around in the hard to see cloud, trying to find the Wrestling Pokemon.
"Time to shine! Use Roost and Swords Dance combination!"
At the top of the stadium, a huge bright light shines through the steam. The figure began to dance around in the air, making the light shine brighter.
Alexis- 35
Molly- 30
"Stop their ballet performance with Aqua Jet!"
Dewott used her water and flew high into the air. The water starter flew at the speed of a bullet as Hawlucha continued to dance. Alexis stood silent before she let out a counterattack.
"Test out your strength with a spinning Wing Attack!"
Hawlucha began to spin in one place before flying down. The powerhouses clashed in mid air between the steam as the white and blue energy began to color the cloud. The duo broke off their collision as the steam cloud flew out and revealed Hawlucha's new appearance.
His feathers wrapped around his body, similarly to bandages. The wrappings released a bright light as Hawlucha's fur changed from red to just a bright light.
Alexis- 25
Molly- 30
"Let's change up our style!" Molly began, getting a nod from one of her starters. "X-Scissor!"
Dewott's swords changed from blue water to green in a matter of seconds. The water gained another sharp point on each tip and flew forward. Her swords dragged along the water, creating huge lines as she moved to her target.
"Blind Dewott with Brick Break!"
Hawlucha raised an arm before he slammed it onto the water. A huge wave appeared in front of him as Dewott continued through and broke the wave. As the Discipline Pokemon looked around, she didn't see Hawlucha anywhere else.
Alexis- 20
Molly- 30
"Fly down hard with Flying Press!" Alexis commanded, making all eyes look up into the air.
Dewott tried to pinpoint Hawlucha, but shielded her eyes due to Hawlucha's bright coat. The hawk held both hands together and slammed both on Dewott's head. The water type flipped back into the air, but slid on a few floating pads before regaining her balance.
Alexis- 20
Molly- 20
"Dewott, let's take out all of Alexis' points with an Aqua Jet and Razor Shell combo!" Molly instructed.
"We can do the same, Hawlucha! Use a spinning Wing Attack with Fire Punch!" Alexis countered, throwing her hand out.
Dewott was swallowed by another geyser of water, however, it was spinning in a similar fashion to a tornado. She lifted her arms as the scalchops summoned blue water from them. Meanwhile, Hawlucha stretched his wings out, which resembled an angel's. Both of the Kalos Pokemon's hands had fire dancing around each inch of his hands. At the same time, the duo disappeared and reappeared in the center of the stadium. The two energies clashed with one another; Hawlucha vs Dewott, white vs blue, hawk vs otter. A huge rainbow orb surrounded the duo as a huge explosion of lights followed suit. At the same time, a huge beep was on the screen, meaning the time was out. Everybody waited for the Hoenn announcer, who stepped forward.
"By the buzz of the clock and the last moves, we have a winner!" Wallace started. Everyone looked in the direction of the scoreboard, waiting for the cloud to clear up. Once it did, the crowd cheered as the fighters smiled.
Alexis- 10
Molly- 5
"It's Alexis Miller and Hawlucha! They're the winners of the Wallace Cup and Aqua Ribbon!" Wallace bellowed. Dewott and Hawlucha reverted to their normal forms as them and their trainers shook hands.
"Alexis, that was the best moment on my journey so far!" Molly said. "I'll make sure that I'll never forget this!"
"I'm actually really surprised at this more than anyone," Alexis began, getting chuckles from Hawlucha, Dewott, and Molly. "You and Dewott pushed Hawlucha and I to the limit. Thanks for the great time!"
"Even though it wasn't my transformation, that angel thing was pretty cool," Dewott told Hawlucha with a smirk.
"I'm glad I got the chance to fight a warrior love me you," Hawlucha responded with a bow. The duos shook each other's hand again as Wallace walked to the brunette with a light blue ribbon.
"You two were spectacular, amazing, fabulous!" the green haired man shouted. "Molly, you and Dewott should be proud of your hard work! Alexis and Hawlucha, this Aqua Ribbon is all yours." The brunette picked up the ribbon and stared at it for a few seconds.
"Thank you so much, Wallace!" Alexis bowed to the master coordinator. Wallace shook his hand and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Only one more until the Grand Festival, right?" he asked, and Alexis answered with a nod. "I can't wait to see you on the stage in person again!" Wallace then exited the stage, leaving the winners in shock.
"What do you know, Wallace is coming back to see you in the Grand Festival," Molly said. "You better get your final ribbon!" the blonde joked as they all laughed.
XXX
"So you only competed because of your mom?" Bolt questioned. Molly nodded as she strapped her bag to her back.
"Yeah, I promised her I compete in at least one contest on my journey," Molly told the trio. "Well, I better be off, I have to get my fifth badge from Lumiose City. I'm guessing that's where you guys are going?"
"Hell yeah! I'm entering the Kalos League! There's no way I'm going to miss the opportunity!" Tyson announced. Kira walked up to her son and tapped his shoulder.
"Son, how did you get Snivy?" she asked, which made the blonde chuckle.
"At the party, Ramos wanted me to take her on my journey. So I accepted and promised him she would be used in the appeal round, so we trained all night." Everyone nodded as Zoey and Daryl walked to the group.
"Alexis, that was amazing! How did you come up with those combinations?" Zoey asked.
"I can't answer that. I know it's hard to imagine, but it's like instinct to me," Alexis explained. Zoey nodded as Molly and Dewott hopped on her Charizard.
"I'm off! See you guys latter!" Molly said, taking off into the sky. Daryl then moved closer and grabbed the teen's attention.
"Guys, I know this may seem sudden, but can Zoey come with you all?" the old man asked, shocking the group. "Instead of trainer's school, I think she'll benefit more with real life experience."
"Why not?" Bolt inquired. "The more the merrier, right?" his friends nodded as Zoey jumped up and down.
"Thanks Grandpa! I'll promise to not get in their way a lot!" Zoey said, hugging the man.
"Let's go back to the Pokemon Center before heading back off," Alexis suggested, which everyone nodded to. The group then made their way towards the huge building, each happy in their own way.
