In Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!, Dawn revealed that she would be joining the competition as well. The tournament took place from Jostling for the Junior Cup! to Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!.

The tournament begins with a ten-minute exhibition match between Cynthia from the Sinnoh League and Caitlin from the Unova Elite Four. All Trainers are given a key-ring for participating, while the winner of the tournament receives a gold trophy and gets a chance to battle Alder.
