Later on, the group met up with Buizel again and tried to get involved in his special training so that they could prove their worth to him. While this happened, Buizel grew attached to Ash. During this time, {{TRT}} made their attempt to try and steal Buizel by catching him in a net. Though Ash was able to cut the net loose from Team Rocket's balloon, Buizel was plummeting towards the river still trapped in it. Luckily, Dawn was able to save him before he struck the water at full force. Because of what she did, Buizel decided to give Dawn another chance at battling him. This time, she and Piplup were victorious, and Dawn made her capture. | Later on, the group met up with Buizel again and tried to get involved in his special training so that they could prove their worth to him.

[[DP035|In the next episode]], the group had met up with [[Elite Four]] member [[Lucian]] in a [[Pokémon Center]] after Buizel had injured Ash's Turtwig in battle. Sensing Lucian's status as a great battler, Buizel was very excited to get a chance to go up against his Pokémon and challenged him. Like in the battle against Ash's Turtwig, Buizel preferred to do things his own away, and ignored most of Dawn's commands. Because of the lack of cooperation between Trainer and Pokémon, Lucian's {{p|Bronzong}} proved much too powerful, even for Buizel's standards, and he was defeated. Afterwards, he fell into a depressive state, not being able to handle defeat so well. Lucian had explained that Buizel needed to learn how to handle being defeated and regain his battling spirit. During another scuffle with Team Rocket, Buizel gained a bit of his confidence back and was able to escape their grasp. Lucian then wanted to show Dawn how to use Buizel's unique battling style by taking command of him himself, and using him to defeat the trio. Afterwards, Dawn started to understand Buizel's battle methods, and wanted to help him develop his personal style, rather than force him to use another. | [[DP035|In the next episode]], the group had met up with [[Elite Four]] member [[Lucian]] in a [[Pokémon Center]] after Buizel had injured Ash's Turtwig in battle.

In ''[[DP041|A Stand Up Sit Down!]]'', Dawn had | In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Buizel's abrasive attitude scared [[Zoey's Shellos]], prompting Piplup to reprimand him. The two started arguing and Dawn had to reprehend them. Seeing the situation, Zoey asked how Dawn was planning to compete in a [[Double Performance]] event with Pokémon that do not get along very well. After learning about Double Performances and being informed that the [[Pokémon Contest]] scheduled to be held in [[Hearthome City]] would feature them, Dawn decided to pair up Buizel with her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in order to work on a new kind of technique for them to use. She came up with an improvised move known as "Ice Aqua Jet", in which Buizel, while using Aqua Jet, would be frozen by Buneary's {{m|Ice Beam}}, making him look like an icicle, but her plan was unsuccessful. Dawn did hope to perfect it before the Hearthome Contest, where she planned to use Buizel in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. However, before he could even be used in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'', Dawn discovered that she had failed to clear the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], leaving Buizel's Contest debut to be put on hold. | ||
Buizel would later be used in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', where Dawn had made it to the final round with her partner, [[Conway]]. He would be paired up with Conway's {{p|Heracross}}, while his opponents were Ash and [[Paul]], who were using {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}, respectively. Buizel and Heracross's team up was an almost unstoppable force, and victory seemed to be within their grasp. However, Paul's Elekid evolved into {{p|Electabuzz}} during the battle, which helped it and Chimchar gain the upper-hand. In a very close battle, both Buizel and Heracross were defeated. | Buizel would later be used in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', where Dawn had made it to the final round with her [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] partner, [[Conway]].

In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Dawn began the Contest training for the [[Solaceon Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}; however, Buizel seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training, and thus couldn't set his mind on Dawn's training. Meanwhile, [[Ash's Aipom]] appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training, because her moves tended to be more Contest-oriented. Then, [[Zoey]] proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. Dawn initially wasn't sure, because Ash had a close bond with Aipom, but Zoey pointed out that Buizel seems to be forced into Contests. After more soul-searching, it was suggested that Ash battle {{an|Brock}} with Buizel and Dawn battle Zoey with Aipom. This led to an encounter with Team Rocket, after which the Trainers agreed that a trade was for the best, and the trade took place afterwards. | In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Dawn began the Contest training for the [[Solaceon Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}; however, Buizel seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training, and thus couldn't set his mind on Dawn's training.
