[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]
[from outside bedroom] Dawn, are you up?
[Her mother, Johanna, opens the door]
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]
What a day. Perfect for starting on a journey. So, Dawn, are you ready?
[Dawn brings out a pink suitcase]
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]
That and some jewellery and face stuff.
[Johanna takes out one of Dawn's garments]
Oh! Do you know what your journey is for?
To become a Pokémon Trainer, right?
Exactly! [Puts a yellow backpack on the worktop beside the door] Which means this is plenty!
If you want to become a top Trainer and a smart traveller, then trust me.
Okay, Mom. [Takes the backpack]
[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]
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!
As long as you don't lose it!
Wow, thanks, Mom! Well, see you soon. [Goes down the steps to get her bike]
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]
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]
[Sighs] Every time she tells me not to worry is when I worry the most.
GGlameow
Meow. [Goes to sleep]
[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]
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.
So have you been able to catch any other Pokémon yet?
[disappointed] I tried, but so far, no luck.
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?
[to Glameow] You know, I think those two are made for each other. Don't you think?
