Wallace and Ash in “Reuniting for the First Time!”

There's no need to be in such a rush. As a matter of fact, I've noticed a certain Trainer named Ash in the World Coronation series. [You can guess what's happening...]

You have? Well, thanks.

I'm not in the series, but since we've met, I must assume that it's fate. What say we battle, eh? I'm a trainer who can keep up in battle with the Champion of the Hoenn Region.

Oh! You mean Steven Stone!

[annoyed] Well, you had no trouble remembering his name. But I'll refuse to take any offense. [Guess Wallace's loss against Steven hit his sore spot]
