When Dawn began her journey she took a [[bicycle]], but like {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed it with his {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she did not mention this to Ash until [[DP038|more than thirty episodes]] after it happened, yet only to acknowledge it as an honest accident due to a desperate situation, and didn't hold it against either Ash or Pikachu. Dawn had also planned to take a large suitcase full of clothing with her, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality. Instead, Dawn took a [[Bag|backpack]] her mother had prepared for her. Johanna also gave Dawn the first [[Ribbon]] she earned as a Coordinator as a good luck charm, an item that would recur throughout the series as a symbol of Dawn's determination. | When Dawn began her journey she took a [[bicycle]], but like {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed it with his {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Upon arriving in [[Jubilife City]], Dawn registered for a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. She also obtained a [[Ball Capsule]] and some [[Seal]]s and introduced her Contest cry, which is "Spotlight!" in the English dub and "Charm up!" in the original Japanese version. Dawn lost her first [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'' to [[Zoey]], who became one of her closest friends and greatest [[rival]]s. After her loss, an upset Dawn called her mother, but Johanna told Dawn not to rely on her and instead rely on friends and Pokémon. Eventually, in Dawn's [[DP027|second official Contest]], she was able to narrowly beat her childhood friend {{si|Kenny}} to win her first Ribbon. | Upon arriving in [[Jubilife City]], Dawn registered for a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]].

Dawn regularly {{pkmn|training|trained}} her Pokémon and took the opportunity to practice her skills with Zoey whenever the two met, such as in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Zoey was always helpful to Dawn during their meetings and helped inspire her to come up with new [[Contest combination|combinations]]. However, even with Zoey's help Dawn was not able to perfect {{AP|Buizel}}'s [[Ash's Buizel#Moves improvised|Ice Aqua Jet]] despite coming up with the idea. Ash later accomplished Ice Aqua Jet in the [[Wallace Cup]], after Buizel had been [[trade]]d to him. | Dawn regularly {{pkmn|training|trained}} her Pokémon and took the opportunity to practice her skills with Zoey whenever the two met, such as in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''.

In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Dawn felt confident but lost in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest. In the {{to|Solaceon}} Contest, which took place in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she did not pass the Performance Stage for the second time in a row, due to being overzealous with {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}'s {{m|Swift}} appeal out of desperation to make up for the previous loss. This marked a notable change in Dawn's character. After the second blow to her self-esteem, she didn't know what to do and was still very upset throughout ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. After this, she became more focused and regained her confidence after {{pkmn|battle|battling}} [[Maylene]] in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She also began to practice in earnest for all her Contest's performances and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. Following Zoey's advice to show off the Pokémon and not its [[move]]s, Dawn was able to pass through the first round in the Wallace Cup and eventually break her losing streak by narrowly defeating May in the final round of the competition in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''. Since this turning point, Dawn has maintained her focus and humility. | In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Dawn felt confident but lost in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest.

After learning of the upcoming Contest in [[Celestic Town]], Dawn became very dedicated in her training to the point of overworking her Pokémon in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. Due to her intense efforts, she managed to win the Contest in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''. One of Dawn's combinations in that Contest inspired one of {{Ash}}'s notable tactics, the [[Counter Shield]]. In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} began to disobey her after [[Evolution|evolving]]. Despite this, she was still eager to train it well and finally gained its trust after healing it in ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''. However, Mamoswine still rebelled and disobeyed Dawn after it was hit by an attack and lost its temper in the semifinals of the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''. Even though this caused Dawn to lose, she remained calm and optimistic that she and Mamoswine would be victorious the next time. | After learning of the upcoming Contest in [[Celestic Town]], Dawn became very dedicated in her training to the point of overworking her Pokémon in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''.

Dawn traveled back home with Ash and Brock for the annual [[Twinleaf Festival]] in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''. Dawn went on to compete against her mother in a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]]. Johanna's {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} versed [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Although Johanna won the match with relative ease, she was impressed by Dawn's teamwork and complimented her. The homecoming helped Dawn to regain her focus, especially after a venture into her own subconscious in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''. Once the festival ended, the group left Twinleaf Town at the end of ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''. | Dawn traveled back home with Ash and Brock for the annual [[Twinleaf Festival]] in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

Her encounter with Mesprit, like Ash and Brock's encounters with {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}} respectively, proved to be fate as [[Team Galactic]] intended to capture the [[lake guardians]] to awaken {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} at [[Spear Pillar]]. The lake guardians communicated telepathically with Ash, Dawn, and Brock, and {{m|teleport}}ed them to the [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic Headquarters]]. With the help of {{an|Cynthia}}, the three Trainers foiled Team Galactic's plans and freed the lake guardians in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' | Her encounter with Mesprit, like Ash and Brock's encounters with {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}} respectively, proved to be fate as [[Team Galactic]] intended to capture the [[lake guardians]] to awaken {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} at [[Spear Pillar]].

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Dawn and her friends watched Zoey compete in the [[Brussel Town]] Pokémon Contest. Zoey was victorious, and [[Candice]] brought over an array of desserts to celebrate. During their meal, Candice introduced the [[Tamato Berry]] Ice Cream Sandwich, describing it as "hot and spicy on the inside and cold on the outside", and saying that oftentimes things that don't seem to go well together are actually the most compatible. The dessert and Candice's words inspired Dawn to create a new combination using {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s. After many failed attempts, she perfected her technique called Flame Ice, which involved Cyndaquil using {{m|Flame Wheel}} while being encased in Mamoswine's {{m|Ice Shard}} attack. She used this move later in the {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. | In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Dawn and her friends watched Zoey compete in the [[Brussel Town]] Pokémon Contest.

It was a very evenly matched and close fight between her Piplup and Togekiss and [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}}, but in the end, Dawn lost. After the finals, she met with her mother and returned the Ribbon Johanna had given her as a good luck charm at the very start of her journey. Dawn said that she no longer needed to walk in her mother's shadow, and only needed her Pokémon's care and support to become a Top Coordinator, proving to her mother and to herself how much she had grown as a Trainer. | It was a very evenly matched and close fight between her Piplup and Togekiss and [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}}, but in the end, Dawn lost.

After the competition, Zoey told Dawn that [[Candice]] was throwing a victory party for her in [[Snowpoint City]] and that Dawn was also welcome; however, Dawn declined the invitation, stating that she still wanted to support Ash in his upcoming battle at [[Sunyshore Gym]] and in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. She then thanked all the Pokémon that had traveled with her through Sinnoh for their hard work and pledged to not give up her dream of being a [[Top Coordinator]]. | After the competition, Zoey told Dawn that [[Candice]] was throwing a victory party for her in [[Snowpoint City]] and that Dawn was also welcome; however, Dawn declined the invitation, stating that she still wanted to support Ash in his upcoming battle at [[Sunyshore Gym]] and in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', it was revealed that Dawn had traveled to the [[Unova]] region and was staying in Cynthia's villa in [[Undella Town]] while the {{pkmn|Champion}} was visiting [[Virbank City]]. Dawn later reunited with {{Ash}} and his new friends, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, whom Dawn met for the first time. She also battled Cilan, using her Piplup against his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, but because the battle was interrupted, no winner was identified. She became a good friend of Iris when they traveled to the [[Deserted Island (BW087)|Onix Island]] in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' and was surprised by the unfamiliar Pokémon native to the Unova region, such as {{p|Foongus}}. | In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', it was revealed that Dawn had traveled to the [[Unova]] region and was staying in Cynthia's villa in [[Undella Town]] while the {{pkmn|Champion}} was visiting [[Virbank City]].
