[First lines. The camera pans up from the sea to the sun which is shining. Then, two Staraptors fly into view]
The Sinnoh region - a breathtaking, awe-inspiring corner of the Pokémon world, complete with an amazing array of Pokémon. [The camera cuts to some Starlys and Staravias flying near a cliff and pans down to a Magikarp and a Mantyke splashing in the sea below] Soaring through the air, gliding through the water... [Next, we see a Bidoof, a Budew and a Bibarel in a rural place] ...thriving on the land... [The camera cuts to a rural community somewhere in the Sinnoh region] ...and sharing the land with all sorts of people, working and playing together. The training, the battles!
[The Pokémon logo appears in the sky, followed by a text reading DIAMOND AND PEARL. The camera cuts to a place called Twinleaf Town and pans to a big house on the left. Inside the house, we hear a beeping sound, a Glameow sleeping on the radiator, and some trophies sitting on top of a fireplace. In one room of the house, a Starly clock is beeping at 7 o'clock, and a girl turn it off. The girl, who has just woken up, goes back to sleep and pulls the duvet over her head and tucks her feet in]
A tenth birthday is a happily anticipated milestone in many young people's lives because after that day, their Pokémon journey begins, complete with a new Pokémon as partner.
[The girl with blue hair whose name is Dawn, wakes up and opens the window in her bedroom, too cute]
And this young lady, Dawn, is one of those people as her tenth birthday has come and gone, and her Pokémon now waits in the wings.
[A space-themed episode title card comes up]
[voiceover] Following A Maiden's Voyage!
[Soon, Dawn is looking in the mirror and putting on her golden yellow hairclips. Her clothing is a dark gray sleeveless shirt with a dark pink shorter scarf and pink miniskirt. when she hears her mother's voice]
JJohanna
[from outside bedroom] Dawn, are you up?
[Her mother, Johanna, opens the door]
JJohanna
I had a feeling you'd wake up early today.
Mom, I'm ten years old. [Crouches down to Glameow] Morning, Glameow.
[Johanna's Glameow walks away and jumps onto Dawn's bed]
[The camera pans from the roof of Dawn's house to the front where Johanna opens the door]
JJohanna
What a day. Perfect for starting on a journey. So, Dawn, are you ready?
[Dawn brings out a pink suitcase]
JJohanna
Oh, what's all that?
It's just all my stuff. It's not like I packed things I don't need.
[Inside the house, Johanna opens the suitcase and discovers clothes]
JJohanna
It's all clothes?
That and some jewellery and face stuff.
[Johanna takes out one of Dawn's garments]
JJohanna
Oh! Do you know what your journey is for?
To become a Pokémon Trainer, right?
JJohanna
Exactly! [Puts a yellow backpack on the worktop beside the door] Which means this is plenty!
JJohanna
If you want to become a top Trainer and a smart traveller, then trust me.
Okay, Mom. [Takes the backpack]
JJohanna
[presents a ribbon] One more thing.
[The camera cuts to Dawn and her mother in the porch]
Huh? Mom, what's this? [Surveys the ribbon]
JJohanna
That's the first championship ribbon I ever won in a contest. I always carried it as a good-luck charm. Now, if you will, I'd like you to carry it, too!
JJohanna
As long as you don't lose it!
Wow, thanks, Mom! Well, see you soon. [Goes down the steps to get her bike]
JJohanna
Professor Rowan's lab is just outside of Sandgem Town. Do you know how to get there?
Don't worry about me! [Takes out a map] See, I've got this map right here. OK, off we go! [Rides off on her bike]
JJohanna
Now, do your best and take care of yourself, okay?
No need to worry, mom. [Then, the bike hits a pebble on the path, making her lose control]
Whoa! [She manages to carry on cycling] See, I told you! Bye!
[The camera cuts to Johanna who is standing in the porch. Meanwhile, Glameow jumps onto the balustrade]
JJohanna
[Sighs] Every time she tells me not to worry is when I worry the most.
[Dawn has taken Pikachu to a Pokémon Centre and now, Pikachu is needing some rest]
[off camera] This Pikachu is suffering from extreme exhaustion.
A group of really strange people just came out of nowhere and attacked us.
That sounds scary, but I'm sure Pikachu will make a full recovery. I do know about these things.
That's awesome. Thank you. I'm so relieved.
[Back at Dawn's house in Twinleaf Town, Johanna is communicating with Dawn via flatscreen phone]
JJohanna
That's wonderful. [The camera cuts to inside the house as Glameow wakes up and the camera pans right] You made a good choice with Piplup. Smart and cute, too.
JJohanna
So have you been able to catch any other Pokémon yet?
[disappointed] I tried, but so far, no luck.
JJohanna
Well, it takes a while, dear, until you get the hang of it. But once you do, you're going to have so much fun. Nothing's more exciting than finding new Pokémon friends.
[annoyed] Pip?! [Points to Dawn] Piplup! Piplup!
Well, you had something to do with why we didn't catch us any Pokémon!
Piplup! Piplup! Piplup! [Starts pecking Dawn in the head with his beak]
Hey, ouch! Don't you peck at me or I'll peck right back. Get it?
JJohanna
[to Glameow] You know, I think those two are made for each other. Don't you think?
It's finals time, and you are there! Thoughts and feelings?
Well now, that's profound. A quotable utterance if there ever was one! Remember, folks, you heard it here first! "Uh, uh." The catchphrase for a new generation! Encapsulating all the excitement of the wonderful Wallace Cup, this has been another insightful interview with Jessadia, bye!
JJohanna
Wow, the mainstream media sure are changing.
[Pikachu and Piplup are sitting on the floor having Pokémon food for breakfast in separate bowls]
JJohanna
[off camera] Boys, the boat to Kanto leaves this afternoon, so be sure you're not late.
[The camera cuts to a better angle with Johanna, Dawn, Ash and Brock sitting at the table]
I want to make sure I buy plenty of Sinnoh gifts for everyone, so let's get an early start.
[The camera cuts to Piplup]
[off camera] Well, you don't have to rush out of here too quickly.
JJohanna
I want to thank you two so much for everything you did for Dawn on your journey together. [The camera pans left to Brock and Ash] I can't tell you what a wonderful experience it's been for her as a trainer and coordinator.
There's no need to thank us. Travelling with Dawn has been lots of fun.
So, Ash, do you think you're going to battle in another league again?
Hmmm, I don't know yet. First, I definitely want to go back to Pallet Town and thank my Pokémon for all the hard work they've put in for me.
JJohanna
Also, I'm certain your mother is really looking forward to you returning home. [The camera cuts to Piplup's worried eyes] And the same goes for Brock, of course.
[off camera] Maybe, I'll go to Kanto, too.
Piplup? [What do you mean?]
[off camera] We could go together.
JJohanna
[off camera] Dawn, I most forgot. Something came for you in the mail.
[The camera cuts to Dawn at the table]
JJohanna
[off camera] Here. [Gives Dawn a magazine with Paris and her Lopunny on the front cover]
JJohanna
Remember Hermione, the editor? [Dawn picks up the magazine] You met her at the Hearthome Collection.
I do remember. [The camera cuts to a picture of Hermione, Dawn, Buneary, Paris and Lopunny which is hanging on the wall] She's that awesome Pokémon stylist.
[off camera] Right, that's like a fashion designer for Pokémon.
Not only that, you won the Hearthome Collection, along with Buneary. Pikachu and I entered, but...
[A flashback to when Ash and Pikachu wore curly wigs and striped loincloths]
You two sure got a lot of laughs!
[starts fantasising about Paris] Though I was much more interested in Paris, the Pokémon stylist idol!
Croagunk! [Quit your fantasizing!] [Poison jabs Brock]
Since when is it against the law to dream?! [Falls back on his chair]
[The camera cuts to Dawn and her mum]
So what did Hermione have to say?
JJohanna
She said she wanted to talk to you about your Buneary.
Piplup? [What's happening?]
