Despite the Pokédex's claim that Plusle and Minun boost vitality, Dawn still wants nothing to do with them, and stretches out her arms to keep them away. Ursula notes how rude it is of Dawn to hurt her Pokémon's feelings in such a way, and the Cheering Pokémon agree. Dawn lowers her arms, apologizing, before Ursula decides to do her a favor and let her see Plusle and Minun's appeal - so she better take a good look and get a good sense of the pressure she's under! On cue, Plusle and Minun produce their pom-poms made of sparks and jump towards Dawn, who shudders as they dance on either side of her, producing static electricity between them... and with a sudden explosion, Dawn's hair is standing on end, glittering with sparks. | Despite the Pokédex's claim that Plusle and Minun boost vitality, Dawn still wants nothing to do with them, and stretches out her arms to keep them away.

In a shock, Dawn mutters under her breath about the glitteriness, and, shouting "Dee Dee!" - she blacks out and falls backwards, to the surprise of all present. | ||
Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is hiding in the bushes off to the side, with [[Jessie]] dressed in her Jessilina costume. {{TRM|Meowth}} recognizes Ursula as the Coordinator who used a {{p|Gabite}} in the [[Chocovine Town|Chocovine]] Contest, and [[James]] notes at, as usual, she's picking a fight with Dawn. Jessie, however, doesn't care to give her opponents any thought - she has no intention to lose either way. Meowth agrees that Jessie's victory is guaranteed, and James adds that his {{TP|James|Carnivine}} will be performing its most ultimate appeal. After the trio takes a moment to appreciate the days of suffering the Bug Catcher Pokémon went through for the sake of practice, Jessie assures them of certain victory, and the three put their hands in the middle to share a team cheer. | Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is hiding in the bushes off to the side, with [[Jessie]] dressed in her Jessilina costume. {{TRM|Meowth}} recognizes Ursula as the Coordinator who used a {{p|Gabite}} in the [[Chocovine Town|Chocovine]] Contest, and [[James]] notes at, as usual, she's picking a fight with Dawn.

At this point Ash asks Dawn what happened, with Brock adding that it's strange to be so scared of Plusle and Minun. Dawn agrees that it's strange, her face falling. Brock asks if something happened to her in the past, from which Ash reasons that she must have failed at capturing a Plusle and Minun at some point. Dawn insists that this isn't the reason, but still seems reluctant to explain. Though Brock tells her that she doesn't have to talk about if she doesn't want to, Dawn explains that she had been planning to tell them the reason at some point anyway. | At this point Ash asks Dawn what happened, with Brock adding that it's strange to be so scared of Plusle and Minun.

Dawn goes on to tell them a story of something that happened when she was in kindergarten. She, {{si|Kenny}}, and [[Leona]] had been put in charge of taking care of the Plusle and Minun at their school - feeding them, changing their water, and cleaning their living area. One day, however, Dawn was chasing after the two Pokémon while Kenny and Leona were diligently attending to their duties. Her two childhood friends quickly got irritated by her fooling around, and tell her to do her job. Dawn, finally catching Plusle and Minun in her arms, insists that she ''is'' helping, by keeping hold of them so that they don't get in the way of changing their food and cleaning.

Kenny realizes that the Pokémon don't like being handled in such a way, but Dawn insists that there's nothing to worry about - she's great friends with Plusle and Minun!

She hugs them closer to prove her point, and the two Pokémon, finally reaching their limit, unleash an Electric attack to get her to let go. The attack works, and as Plusle and Minun scamper off, Dawn looks completely stunned, her hair sticking out on end and glittering with static electricity. Leona asks if Dawn is okay, to which Dawn weakly answers the affirmative. Kenny points out how cool Dawn's hair looks, with Leona noting that it's glittering ({{tt|ピカピカしている|pikapika shiteiru}}). Building off Leona's words, Kenny reasons that rather than {{tt|Dawn|Hikari}}, she's {{tt|Dee Dee|Pikari}}! Leona approves of this nickname, and declares that that would be Dawn's name from now on, though Dawn herself doesn't look too pleased. | ||
Later on, during storytime, Dawn's glittering hair is attracting quite a bit of attention from her classmates. In the middle of the story, Kenny suddenly stands up and shouts out Dawn's new nickname; their classmates begin whispering and laughing at the nickname, causing Dawn to start crying in humiliation. | Later on, during storytime, Dawn's glittering hair is attracting quite a bit of attention from her classmates.

Returning to present time, Ash, Brock, and Piplup finally understand the origin of Dawn's nickname. Dawn still doesn't understand why the Plusle and Minun had attacked her, though, and as she's mulling this over her friends begin to laugh. She gets mad at them for laughing, but Ash insists that it's funny, as Piplup continues to laugh especially hard. Brock clears his throat then and explains that Pokémon never attack without reason. Ash agrees, pointing out that it was because Dawn had been chasing after Plusle and Minun. Though shocked that it was her fault, Dawn realizes that it must be true, and looks upset. Ash insists that she doesn't have to worry, though, and that she shouldn't let it bother her. Brock adds that there are often such stories that, though they might have been a big incident at the time, aren't really such a big deal. Dawn gloomily agrees, and Ash encourages her to beat Ursula in the contest the next day, in order to overcome the past. Piplup cheers in agreement, and Brock adds that Ash is right, it's a great chance to cut off regrets from the past! A bit taken aback, Dawn says that that's a bit much, but agrees that it's a great chance, and assures them that there's no need to worry! | Returning to present time, Ash, Brock, and Piplup finally understand the origin of Dawn's nickname.
