The episode begins early in the morning, with the sun shining brightly into the bedroom of a young girl who is just waking up on the dawn of one of the most important days of her life: the start of her adventures with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She turns off her alarm and sits up in bed, only to fall back into bed again and hides in the sheets. She eventually gets up and pushes the window open to look out at her town. Today she will get her {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}}. | The episode begins early in the morning, with the sun shining brightly into the bedroom of a young girl who is just waking up on the dawn of one of the most important days of her life: the start of her adventures with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Sometime later, the girl, named {{an|Dawn}}, is already half-way dressed when [[Johanna|her mother]] appears. Dawn lets her in along with a {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}}. The two greet each other while Glameow quickly visits Dawn, then rests on the bed. Downstairs, mother and daughter discuss Dawn's plans over coffee and Dawn pulls out a postcard that she receives from [[Professor Rowan]], inviting her to his laboratory to pick up her first Pokémon. The postcard also contains a map to his lab, and pictures of the three Pokémon that she will be able to choose from. Dawn's mother wonders what Pokémon her daughter will choose and Dawn looks over at the pictures of the three Pokémon: {{p|Turtwig}} the {{type|Grass}}, {{p|Chimchar}} the {{type|Fire}}, and {{p|Piplup}} the {{type|Water}}. Dawn then comments that regardless, all three Pokémon would make a great partner in her bid to become a top {{pkmn|Coordinator}} just like her mother.

Dawn then comments that regardless, all three Pokémon would make a great partner in her bid to become a top {{pkmn|Coordinator}} just like her mother. In her younger years, Dawn's mother had earned many certificates and trophies, which inspire Dawn. She begins fantasizing about performing in {{pkmn|Super Contest|Contest}}s with the three different Pokémon, acting out all her actions while her mother watches on. | ||
Later, Dawn prepares to leave for her journey, lugging a suitcase behind her full of dresses and jewelry. Her mother, standing on the house porch, tells her to pack more sensibly. They go inside, where she fits everything that Dawn will need in a small backpack. Before she can leave on her journey, her mother gives her one last thing to take: her first Contest [[Ribbon]]. Dawn thanks her mom, gladly taking it and dashes over to her [[bicycle|bike]]. Dawn then sets out towards [[Sandgem Town]] from her home in [[Twinleaf Town]] along {{rt|201|Sinnoh}}. She arrives in a town, and runs into a building which she believes to be the Professor's lab, only to find that it is a restaurant. Even with a map as a guide, she gets lost in the town, following every possible direction but unable to find the lab. While reading her map, she bumps into a man who reveals himself to be Professor Rowan, who offers to guide her to his laboratory. | Later, Dawn prepares to leave for her journey, lugging a suitcase behind her full of dresses and jewelry.

Meanwhile, at the lab, Professor Rowan's assistants are chatting while examining and feeding the three starter Pokémon. Two other assistants arrive in the room with a {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Staraptor}}. However, a fight quickly brews when Chimchar steals the last of Piplup's food. Piplup begins attacking Chimchar with {{m|BubbleBeam|bubbles}} while Chimchar runs around the lab. While trying to keep Piplup under control, the chaos cause Starly and Staraptor to lose control, who begin flying around and wrecking books and papers.

The assistants plan to clean up, but as they begin, Professor Rowan arrives with Dawn. | ||

After receiving some tips from Prof. Rowan, Dawn runs off towards the forest where the Pokémon were headed. Before she reaches the forest, however, she runs into Chimchar and Piplup, Chimchar still swinging away from Piplup's {{m|BubbleBeam|bubbles}}. Dawn attempts to calm them down, but they ignore her, Piplup changing its target to her briefly before both disappear into the forest. Dawn runs into the forest after them, only to hear Piplup's cry. She runs toward it, seeing Piplup as well as several other Pokémon trapped in a web created by an {{p|Ariados}}. The Ariados notices Dawn, chasing her through the forest. Dawn quickly hatches a plan, causing the Ariados to destroy its own web, making Piplup land safely in her arms. However, after sliding down a hill, Piplup seems very indignant, using {{m|Peck}} on Dawn several times. Dawn begins to berate it, but then realizes that it is simply hungry. Although Dawn offers it Pokémon food, it seems disdainful and won't eat it. This scene is interrupted when several Ariados return, attacking Dawn and Piplup with several of its friends. | ||
Trapped in a cage created by {{m|String Shot}}, Dawn distracts the Ariados with the Pokémon food while Piplup destroys the cage with BubbleBeam. Unfortunately, before Dawn can escape with Piplup, an Ariados trips her with String Shot. Piplup steps in and uses {{m|Bide}} to absorb the attacks of the Ariados, then destroys them and the cage with a massive energy wave. Shortly after, the Piplup faints, exhausted from having taken all the attacks and the energy used. | Trapped in a cage created by {{m|String Shot}}, Dawn distracts the Ariados with the Pokémon food while Piplup destroys the cage with BubbleBeam.
