Near Lake Valor, Ash & co. meet up with their old friend May, who has come to Sinnoh to participate in Wallace's special Wallace Cup for a Ribbon that can be used anywhere. Before the cup starts, the gang go to a restaurant at the Grand Lake Hotel where they can get a full course meal for free. The catch however, is that the winners of a tag battle will win the meal. Ash & Brock team up while May & Dawn also pair up for the challenges. Who will win?

Having passed the appeal process in the Wallace Cup, the gang all move onto the next round; the battles. However, in reflection of their respective journeys, the gang get pumped for the battles. Will they all get through the next round?
