[It is the dawn of a new day somewhere in the Sinnoh region and the sun is rising]
It was to be a fateful day for Dawn, and a certain Pokémon named Buneary, as our heroes continue toward Jubilife City.
[Ash is waking up in his sleeping bag]
[Some Starly fly past, and Ash runs over to Dawn's tent]
DDawn
Don't you dare come in here! My hair's a complete mess, and nobody sees it!
Dawn, don't sweat it. C'mon, that's what hats are for.
DDawn
Well, isn't that a typical male response! Ash, unlike your who-cares-how-I-look world, I take pride in my appearance, get it?
But it's just not worth it to get nuts about hair!
DDawn
That's your opinion.
Pika? [What's with Croagunk?]
[The camera pans left for Brock who is cooking some breakfast with Croagunk beside him]
See, you're witnessing a typical morning for this crazy family, but you'll get used to it!
Croag. Croag. Croag. [I suppose so.]
Pika! [Oh, yes!] Pikachu! [Let's do this!]
[starts behaving oddly by blushing and covering her face with her fluff] Buneary...Buneary...Buneary! [Oh, my! Oh, please, why do you want to fight me? Why?!]
Buneary's acting completely different when battling Piplup before. I wonder...
[stops covering her face and notices Pikachu] Buneary? [Huh?] [covers her face again with her fluff] Bunearyyyyyy! [Noooooo!]
DDawn
I had a feeling before this was going on. Buneary has got a crush on Pikachu! [Bonsly and Aipom agree with Dawn]
Oh man, how do we battle with this going on?
[walks up to Pikachu still covering her face with her fluff] Buneary...Bun, Buneary. [I can do this. Come on Buneary...] [sees Pikachu and covers her face again!] Bunearyyyyy! [I can't do it!]
[at the beginning of the episode...]
That you want me to watch you lose.
[Dawn and Pikachu break up the fight]
[at the same time] Pika, Pika!
DDawn
[to Paul] You already battled Ash once. [Different Strokes for Different Blokes]. Why not stay and watch?
[glares at her blankly] Hmph.
'What's wrong'? Who are you?
[the background changes to a volcano erupting with an angry Dawn]
DDawn
Excuse me, your rudeness, but we've met once before! The name's Dawn!
[the background changes to the sun splitting into quarters with Dawn very angry, turning bright red and having huge glowing red eyes]
DDawn
YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY, DON'T YA?!
[runs in and restrains Dawn, preventing her from attacking Paul] Alright, come on, Dawn! Calm down!
DDawn
[at the same time] Listen, mister! You nasty, insulting, spoiled brat! Apologize!
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Mutiny in the Bounty!
[The episode opens with Ash, Dawn and Brock walking up a hill]
Continuing their journey to Floaroma Town, and Dawn's next Pokémon contest, our heroes are about to be treated to a most amazing sight.
[The sight turns out to be a house with a cone on top and a field full of flowers]
DDawn
Whoa! What a beautiful field of flowers!
Yeah, and in the bright sunlight, they look like they're on fire!
[Then, a Salamence flies above them]
[Dawn scans the Salamence with her Pokédex]
DSDawn's Pokédex
Salamence, the Dragon Pokémon. As a result of a powerful desire to fly, Salamence were able to trigger the cells in their body and cause them to grow wings.
[We see someone on the Salamence's back]
[Then we see a girl named Melodi and her Gardevoir tending to some flowers]
Wow. Someday these little flowers will bloom like crazy!
GGardevoir
[admiring] Gardevoir.
[Then the Salamence and its rider landed down in front of them]
[The rider jumps off the Salamence to reveal to be a woman]
HJHunter J
Target identified.
HJHunter J
Ariados! [takes her Pokeball] String shot! [tosses her Pokeball]
[Her Ariados pops out and fired its String Shot and Melodi screamed as she got tied to a tree]
[Ash, Dawn and Brock run to Melodi's house]
HJHunter J
I'll take Gardevoir. [she aims her wrist gun to Gardevoir]
[It uses Teleport to vanish]
HJHunter J
Using Teleport, eh? [she activates her goggles and looks around] Sensing Teleport location. [she got nothing till she spotted her target appearing] There we go. You should be grateful Gardevoir. Your beauty will be preserved for eternity! [she aims her gun as Gardevoir appears and then she fires]
[Gardevoir got hit]
[Gardevoir turned to stone]
HJHunter J
Mission accomplish. Transporting target now!
[Then a truck with six wheels came out of nowhere and drove to her location as a device platform came out of it and it went under the petrified Gardevoir and sealed in in a container and it was floated inside of the truck as it drives away]
[Ash, Dawn and Brock Arrived]
[Hunter J got on her Salamence with her Ariados and flew away]
I'm alright, but please help me get Gardevoir back!
[Hunter J's ship flies off]
[Then Officer Jenny arrives on her motorcycle along with her Arcanine]
[looking up] She got away!
So, you were following her, too?
Yes. When I heard she was here, I came as soon as I could, but too late. She didn't get any of YOUR Pokémon...?
[presents a WANTED poster of the woman] Her name is J and she's got a fearsome reputation as a Pokémon Hunter!
DDawn
What's a Pokémon Hunter?
The worst you can get! [A flashback begins] They catch Pokémon just so they can turn around and sell them.
DDawn
[voiceover] You mean for money?
[voiceover] Yes. They can be hired ahead of time to capture a certain Pokémon, or if they think they found a Pokémon of exceptional value, they'll catch it anyway.
HJHunter J
[to a Teddiursa] I won't hurt you. You're much too valuable for that. [The Teddiursa she has spoken to starts banging on the jar it is standing in]
[voiceover] And she has her own special method for stealing Pokémon as well. Ruthless.
[The flashback ends as the Teddiursa turns to brown]
DDawn
It sure is. She's the worst.
DDawn
What's wrong? You okay?
I can't stand it! And I'm not going to take it. She won't steal another Pokémon. [to the camera] And I'm going to get my Pikachu back - or else!
[takes out a Pokeball] Maybe this Pokemon could give us a hand.
[Her Pokemon pops out to reveal a Kirlia]
DDawn
Wow what's that? [she checks her Pokedex]
DSDawn's Pokédex
Kirlia. The Emotion Pokemon. Kirlia uses the horns on its head to amplify its Psychic powers, and when this occurs reality becomes warped and future events can be seen.
Of course! Kirlia's power might be just the thing we need!
You're right. Kirlia wants to protect Gardevoir, and will help us in any way!
KKirlia
[agreeing] Kirli.
[presents J's WANTED poster] This is the person who took Gardevoir, We need to know where she'll be going to hunt Pokémon next!
[Kirlia understood and began to use its power]
KKirlia
[concentrating] Kirli.
[Dawn looks with awe and amazement and then it showed a vision of a house near a waterfall]
An image from the future Kirlia's sending telepathically.
[Then we see J coming down on Salamence]
So that's go to be where J's going to strike next!
[Then the vision cancels out]
[Kirlia collapses till..]
Kirlia, no! [catches Kirlia] Are you okay?
KKirlia
[reassuring] Kirlia.
One time, Dawn's mom made her get this haircut that she couldn't stand, so Dawn tried to cut it herself. You can't believe how it turned out. She looked just like a Chimchar.
[Ash, Brock, Pikachu, and Piplup imagine Dawn's hair as a Chimchar, and break out laughing until, Dawn yells at them, all to grow up.]
DDawn
CAN WE ALL TRY AND GROW UP?! THAT HAPPENED WAY BACK IN NURSERY SCHOOL!
Turtwig, return! [Returns Turtwig to its Poké Ball] You were just great. [Turns back to Gardenia]
[off camera] Gardenia's Turtwig didn't move around much, but when it did, it was fast. I'd say overall it was faster than Ash's Turtwig.
I'll show you fast. Gardenia, our battle isn't over just yet.
Okay, Staravia, I choose you! [Sends out Staravia]
I don't care how fast that Turtwig is, it can't match the speed of a flying Staravia.
[The camera cuts to Cheryl, Mothim, Brock, Dawn and Pikachu who are watching the battle from a log]
Flying-types do have the advantage over grass-types, but...
There's more than one way to win a battle.
All right, Wing Attack, go!
SStaravia
Starrrravia! [Uses Wing Attack]
GSGardenia's Turtwig
Turrrtwig! [Dodges Staravia's Wing Attack]
Ah! Ugh! Come back around and use Wing Attack!
SStaravia
Starrrravia! [Uses Wing Attack, but Gardenia's Turtwig carries on dodging]
GGardenia
You know, my Turtwig may even be a good match for your Staravia's speed.
Hey, you've got to be kidding me! [The camera cuts to Turtwig who is watching out for Staravia's next Wing Attack] Is she serious?! [to Staravia] Okay, let's give 'em Aerial Ace right now!
There's no way her Turtwig's going to be able to outrun this dive-bomb.
SStaravia
Staravia! Starrrr... [Uses Aerial Ace, but Turtwig jumps up to avoid the attack] ...avia! [Crashes through a bush and screeches]
[Staravia manages to fly out of the bush and back into the battlefield]
GGardenia
Now, Turtwig, Leaf Storm!
GSGardenia's Turtwig
Turtwiiiiiig! [Uses Leaf Storm on Staravia, sending it into the trunk of a tree]
[Then, we see that Staravia has fainted]
GGardenia
Number One! I win!
Staravia, return! [Returns Staravia to its Poké Ball] You gave it a great shot, Staravia.
DDawn
But Gardenia was running things the whole time.
CCheryl
I'm really sorry that you lost, Ash.
Wow, Gardenia's a tough one.
Oh, I never had a chance.
CCheryl
My name is Cheryl. That was some battle just now.
GGardenia
Thanks, Cheryl. [Notices Cheryl's Mothim] That's some Mothim you've got. [Mothim starts flying around her, making her giggle] Your moth tails tickle!
CCheryl
You shouldn't get too close to strangers, Mothim, dear.
[Meanwhole, Ash is talking about his recent loss]
First Turtwig loses and then Staravia. The Eterna Gym's going to be tough.
[Pikachu jumps on his left shoulder]
You think? Special training, eh?
