Johanna visited her daughter with her Glameow in her room, as Dawn was preparing herself for her journey. The two were at a table, looking at Professor Rowan's postcard to choose a Starter Pokémon: Turtwig, Chimchar or Piplup. Dawn thought the choice didn't matter much, since all three were perfect in their own regard. She wished to become like her mother, a Top Coordinator. A moment later, Dawn grabbed her suitcase for the journey, equipped with lots of items and jewelry. Johanna reminded her to travel lightly, and gave her own Contest Ribbon to her for good luck. Dawn thanked her, and her mother saw her off as Dawn rode off on her bike.
