Dawn and Mamoswine

Sometime after the Pokeringer...

The gang walked through a forest on the way to Snowpoint City. Right now they were taking a quick break and drinking some water. Dawn stared at one of her Poke Balls; it was Mamoswine's. She had it sent from Prof. Rowan's lab because she decided to try and patch things up with him again.

"Are you sure you want to try this again with Mamoswine Dawn?" Tomo asked her.

"I can't keep Mamoswine in timeout at the lab forever Tomo." Dawn said. "I want to try and get Mamoswine to be obedient again sooner or later otherwise I'll never use him in a contest."

Ash, Tomo and Brock saw the point she was making. Dawn was about to take another sip of water, before noticing her canteen was empty.

"I need to refill my canteen again." She said.

"You go do that and then we'll continue traveling." Brock replied.

Dawn and Piplup went to find a river and get some more water.

"Let's hope Mamoswine won't cause too much trouble again." Tomo said.

"We'll prepare ourselves when Dawn says she'll release Mamoswine from the Poke Ball." Ash said.

Meanwhile Dawn found the river and quickly refilled her canteen. But then she and Piplup heard a noise above them. It was an Aggron. Before Dawn could do anything, Aggron fired a Hyper Beam at her and Piplup. Dawn and Piplup fell into the river and were washed down by it. Soon Dawn and Piplup got out of the river, but they were separated from the others.

"What was up with that Aggron?" Dawn asked out loud.

She couldn't understand why the Aggron attacked her.

The boys then noticed Dawn and Piplup were missing. Tomo picked up Dawn's water canteen that she dropped. Ash noticed a mark on a rock.

"Dawn must have slipped and fallen into the river." Brock suggested.

Suddenly the same Aggron that attacked Dawn fired Hyper Beam at them.

"Run!" Brock shouted.

That's exactly what they did. They ran to a spot where Aggron was nowhere to be seen.

"Phew." Ash sighed. "What was up with that Aggron?"

Brock took a look at a big rock.

"Maybe these rocks have iron in them." He said.

"Oh yeah, Aggron eat iron." Ash remembered. "It must have thought we were invading it's territory."

"All the more reason to find Dawn and fast." Brock said.

Ash released Staraptor and then changed forms while Tomo released Pidgeotto.

"We need to find Dawn quickly before that Aggron does."

They immediately flew off.

Meanwhile Dawn and Piplup were running to try and find the others.

"We need to find them and warn them about Aggron." Dawn said. Piplup agreed.

Dawn ran and ran but she couldn't find the boys anywhere. They weren't having much luck finding Dawn either. Soon Dawn came to a circle of trees and then she got an idea. She released her Pachirisu and Smoochum and told them what had happened.

"Okay, the plan is for you to release an attack into the air that way Ash, Tomo and Brock will see them and that will let them know where we are."

The Pokemon understood and Smoochum released Ice Beam into the air then Pachirisu released Discharge into the air. But this turned out to be a bad idea as all it was did was lure Aggron to the small group.

Dawn and the group ran away after Aggron appeared. But they ended up running towards a cliff and there was no way for them to escape. Having no choice, Dawn released Mamoswine to battle Aggron. But of course Mamoswine started to fall asleep.

"This is no time to take a nap Mamoswine." Dawn said.

Mamoswine ignored her.

"Come on Mamoswine, we need you to fight Aggron for us." Dawn pleaded.

Aggron attacked with Flash Cannon, which woke Mamoswine up. Mamoswine was angry and charged with Take Down, but Aggron countered with Double Edge. Mamoswine attacked with Ice Shard next but Aggron countered it with Ice Beam. Then Aggron charged at Mamoswine again with Double Edge. Mamoswine was knocked onto the ground and the cliff broke apart. Dawn and all of her Pokemon fell right down the cliff. Mamoswine landed on the ground first and Dawn and the other Pokemon landed on Mamoswine. Aggron looked down the cliff for a moment and then walked away.

Down on the ground Dawn checked to see if everyone was alright. But Mamoswine was hurt; a big rock had landed on his back left leg and left a terrible bruise.

"This is bad." Dawn said. "If we stay here Aggron will find us and attack us."

She wanted to return Mamoswine to his Poke Ball, but the Poke Ball was missing. The small group tried to find it, but it was lost.

"We will have to hide Mamoswine before Aggron comes here." Dawn decided.

She noticed a big tree nearby.

"Okay we'll move Mamoswine to that tree after we make a nice soft bed for him." She released Ambipom and Chatot from their Poke Balls and all of the Pokemon began gathering branches with leaves to make Mamoswine's bed.

"Can you move to the bed of leaves?" Dawn asked Mamoswine after the bed was made.

She gave him a poffin and her Pokemon helped Mamoswine walk over to the bed of leaves. Then everyone covered Mamoswine up with more branches of leaves to camouflage Mamoswine. That way Aggron wouldn't be able to find Mamoswine and the others.

Dawn looked at Mamoswine's injured leg and remembered what Ash told her before about not panicking while her Pokemon are sick or injured.

"It's okay Mamoswine." Dawn said, staying calm. "Ash and Brock have taught me a lot about Pokemon medicine. There's no need to worry."

Mamoswine lay silent. The first thing Dawn remembered from her teachings was a plant, which nearly looked like big, thick grass that contained a gel-like substance inside the leaves. The gel was excellent for treating a Pokemon's wound. Dawn's Pokemon gathered up more of the plant they could find and Dawn placed the gel onto Mamoswine's leg then wrapped a bandage around the wound. Next Dawn had Piplup fill a bucket with water and Smoochum used Powder Snow to turn the water into ice. Then Dawn made an ice pack with a big cloth and placed it on Mamoswine's leg.

"That's good. Now all we need is a Oran Berry." She said.

Luckily there were some fruit trees nearby. Ambipom gathered up some berries and gathered lots of bunches of bananas. Then Dawn gave an Oran Berry to Mamoswine. Mamoswine started to feel different because of how Dawn was taking good care of him while he was injured.

Later on sunset came and Ash, Tomo and Brock still couldn't find Dawn anywhere.

"We've been looking for hours and we still can't find Dawn." Ash sighed.

"Where could she have gone?" Brock asked.

"Hey, look at this." Tomo said.

He found a Poke Ball near a rock; the boys had come to the cliff where Dawn and her Pokemon fell.

"That must belong to Dawn." Brock said, looking at the Poke Ball.

"Something must have happened." Ash said, worried.

Meanwhile Dawn and her Pokemon were keeping watch over Mamoswine the whole time. Just then they heard a thumping noise; it was Aggron walking towards the tree. Pachirisu sprang into action. He ran behind two bushes to make them rustle. Aggron noticed that and walked away from the tree to find the hidden culprit.

"Thank you Pachirisu." Dawn said once it came back.

Dawn wanted to return a Pokemon for rest but they wanted to continue looking after Mamoswine. She was grateful to them.

Soon it was night time and Ash, Brock and Tomo had taken shelter in a cave and had lit a fire for warmth.

"I hope Dawn is alright." Tomo said.

"Once the sun comes up, we'll resume our search for her." Brock said.

"I'm sure she's fine." Ash said. "She's got all her Pokemon to help her."

"I reckon that Poke Ball Dawn dropped was Mamoswine's Poke Ball." Brock said.

"If that's true, let's hope he's not causing her problems." Ash said.

*Meanwhile...*

Dawn was tending to Mamoswine while her Pokemon were asleep. Just then Smoochum woke up and noticed Dawn.

"Hi Smoochum." Dawn said. "Since the ice has melted can you use Powder Snow again?"

Smoochum created some more ice and Dawn placed another ice pack on Mamoswine's leg. Then she and Smoochum went to sleep for the night.

*The next day...*

Ash resumed searching for Dawn from the air in his dragon form.

Meanwhile Dawn was checking over Mamoswine's bandaged wound.

"Well everything seems okay for now." She said. "If only I knew where Mamoswine's Poke Ball went."

She really wanted to go find the boys, but she couldn't leave Mamoswine alone especially not with Aggron still out there. Then she got an idea.

"Chatot can you fly and see if you can find Ash, Tomo and Brock?" Dawn asked Chatot.

Chatot took off at once. It wasn't long before Ash noticed him during his search.

"Chatot." He said. "Can you lead us to Dawn."

Thanks to Chatot, they finally found Dawn and her Pokemon.

"Ash, Brock, Tomo. I'm glad to see you guys." Dawn smiled.

"You okay Dawn?" Ash asked.

"No need to worry." Dawn smiled.

Brock noticed the bandage on Mamoswine's leg.

"Was Mamoswine injured?" He asked.

"Yeah we fell down the cliff when Aggron attacked and that's when Mamoswine was injured." Dawn answered. "But thanks to you guys teaching me all about Pokemon medicine I was able to treat Mamoswine."

"That's great." Ash said.

"And it looks like you did a wonderful job." Brock said.

Suddenly Aggron arrived ready to attack again. Dawn and all her Pokemon got ready to defend Mamoswine. Aggron was about to fire Hyper Beam, but it got hit by Mud Bomb. The attack came from Mamoswine; he had woken up and was well enough to fight Aggron.

"Mamoswine, are you okay?" Dawn asked.

Mamoswine responded by placing Dawn and her Pokemon on his back; that meant he was okay.

"Alright Mamoswine attack with Ice Shard." Dawn said.

Mamoswine fired an Ice Shard attack and it hit Aggron; he was beginning to obey Dawn again. Aggron didn't back down and charged to use Double Edge. Dawn was about to tell Mamoswine to use Take Down, but then Mamoswine glowed blue and he tackled Aggron really hard with his tusks.

"That was Superpower." Brock said. "Mamoswine must have just learned it."

"Since it's a fighting type move, Aggron's in big trouble." Ash said.

He was right as it took a lot out of Aggron. After being overpowered, Aggron retreated.

"Alright Dawn you did it." Ash said. "And you got Mamoswine to listen to you again."

"I have to admit I was surprised by that, but I'm glad." Dawn said.

At that time Mamoswine went straight to the pile of the bunches of bananas Ambipom gathered yesterday and began to eat them.

"You can definitely tell Mamoswine is all better now." Tomo chuckled.

The others agreed.

After the excitement with Aggron Dawn got Mamoswine to obey her and she was happy about that.
