At the Center, [[Nurse Joy]] checks Piplup as she reassures Dawn that Piplup only needs to rest. During dinner, Dawn mentions that it still surprises her that Piplup will evolve. Kenny tells Dawn it's no surprise considering how well she's raised him and Barry also congratulates Dawn on a good job but advises that the evolution path from Piplup to Empoleon only gets harder. Kenny then mentions that as Prinplup is double the size of Piplup, she'll have more to show off in contests while Ash mentions that she will need to adapt her battling style just as [[DP100|he adapted]] when {{p|Turtwig}} evolved into {{AP|Grotle}}. Although Ash is skeptical of Dawn mentioning her adaptation to {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}, Dawn is still excited, but Brock displays concern. Outside, {{TRT}} listens in and decides to steal the [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|Piplup evolutionary line]]. | At the Center, [[Nurse Joy]] checks Piplup as she reassures Dawn that Piplup only needs to rest.

Dawn comes up from behind and presents Piplup with {{pkmn|food}}, but he refuses. Dawn reveals her excitement for Piplup's evolution, but Piplup doesn't seem enthusiastic as Dawn tries to reassure Piplup. Piplup jumps around as he begins to glow again, the evolution process starting. Dawn tries to get Piplup just let the evolution happen, but Piplup uses {{m|Bide}} to stop evolving, exhausting himself in the progress. Dawn questions Piplup's motives and brings up the positives of evolution, but Piplup gets angry that Dawn appears to be ignoring his unwillingness to evolve and jumps out the window and flees the Center, prompting Dawn to follow. Barry and Empoleon pressure Brock, Kenny and Ash to train for the Ping-Pong tournament (despite the fact that Brock and Kenny don't plan to enter), but Dawn shows up and mentions her situation. Outside, Brock mentions his concerns that Piplup does not want to evolve, using Bide to stop evolution and expend energy. Everyone splits up to search as Kenny summons {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} to help search. As Dawn searches on her own, she spots a light in the forest. | ||
Piplup sits under a waterfall, stopping the evolution into Prinplup but collapses into the water. Dawn arrives and picks up Piplup, questioning his reason to not evolve. Piplup gets angry again and jumps out of Dawn's hands before firing {{m|BubbleBeam}} and running off. Dawn searches as she spots Piplup stuck in a web. She runs forward as an {{p|Ariados}} attacks her with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. While she dodges, Piplup uses BubbleBeam to stall Ariados. Dawn runs forward as another Sludge Bomb grazes the top of her head, causing her to trip. The attack frees Piplup and sends him airborne, but Dawn quickly catches Piplup. However, multiple Ariados confront the two and all prepare to fire {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Just before the [[Move|attacks]] hit, Piplup jumps forward and uses Bide to take the attacks before retaliating, sending all the | Piplup sits under a waterfall, stopping the evolution into Prinplup but collapses into the water.

As Barry and Kenny continue searching, a {{m|Bullet Seed}} attack knocks down Prinplup and Empoleon before two mecha arms grab them. Empoleon and Prinplup try to use {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and BubbleBeam, but the hands spin and disorient them as Kenny and Barry notice a large [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]. Meanwhile, Dawn carries Piplup to a lake as Piplup wakes up, Dawn thanking her Pokémon. Dawn mentions how [[DP001|a similar situation occurred]] when they first met and how Dawn [[Starter Pokémon|chose Piplup]]. Ash and Brock find Dawn and are relieved that they're okay. Suddenly, another mecha arm grabs Piplup as a giant Prinplup mecha shows up, revealing the captured Piplup evolutionary line. Team Rocket recites [[Team Rocket mottos|their motto]] but Barry cuts them off. Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} fire {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the mecha redirects the attack to harm Prinplup and Empoleon. | As Barry and Kenny continue searching, a {{m|Bullet Seed}} attack knocks down Prinplup and Empoleon before two mecha arms grab them.
