Setting the World On Its Buneary

*Setting the World On Its Buneary* is the 7th episode of Diamond And Pearl.

## **Plot**

The episode begins where at sunrise, Dawn screams and wakes up a flock of Starly. Nearby, a familiar set of ears perk at the sound. Bugs is preparing breakfast, as Dawn's protests wake Tom. Tom moves to the side of the tent to ask what the problem is, and she roars angrily at him to stay away, growling that her hair is a mess! Yes it seems that she's finally discovered the problem with living rough and travelling about with hair care products and proper grooming habits, her hair is a tangled mess that just won't be tamed.

Tom says that bad hair is what hats are made for, and inside the tent, Dawn grunts that this is a typical male response, as we get a look at her terrible, terrible hair and see that bad hair really does run in her family. She tells Tom that unlike his "who cares what I look like world" she actually cares about her appearance, and while Jerry, Dino and Courage gather around and Tom insists that being worried about your hair is just silly, Bugs turns a happy grin on Migo, telling it that this is a typical morning for them.

Inside the tent, Dawn tries again and again to try and sort out her hair, to no avail, then tells Piplup to use Bubblebeam on her! Bubbles come floating out of the tent and Bugs wonders if she was trying to fix her bed-head, and then he drops a potato he was peeling onto the ground in front of Migo and asks it to help him out. He eventually tosses it forcefully upward. Tom backs up and trips into Dawn, while Scooby-Doo grabs the potato. The capture impresses a nearby wild Buneary.

Dawn tells everyone he has to look out, and Daffy asks what the deal with the Bubblebeam earlier was, and she shows him by twisting in a circle to show her now washed and sparkly hair! Everyone is puzzled by the method. Dawn wants to use the method to fix their fur, but he mentions that he has his badge. At that word, Astro steals Dawn's hat and runs away with it. Jerry pursues and steals it back with a Quick Attack. However, the hat covers Jerry and he lands in the middle of a path. Sheriff almost runs over Jerry, but Buneary jumps in and gets Jerry out of danger. Dawn reclaims her hat and the gang catches up, she noting the Buneary.

Buneary seems shy, covering her face with her fur. She bounces away, slamming into a tree before escaping. Sheriff scolds Jerry, and Dawn confuses him for the same Sheriff in Sandgem Town. Wally shows Dawn that each Sheriff is same. Wally is greeting as usual, but Migo calms him with Poison Jab and drags him away. Sheriff shows Dawn and the animals a picture of a disguised Team Rocket, involved with stealing machine parts, but they don't recognize them.

Later on, everyone's eating lunch, and Tom decides to catch the Buneary next time, but Dawn protests because she still needs to catch a Pokémon, mainly for her first journey. Tin, Pan & Alley is nearby watching, and while Alley is working on a machine, the others notice Migo is with them. Migo stops eating and notices something in the bushes. Buneary jumps out and bounces away. Dawn, Tom and Bugs pursue, leaving the dishes to Daffy.

Dawn takes the lead and has Piplup attack Buneary with Bubble Beam, taking the first opportunity. Tom lets her go first. Piplup misses with Peck, but attacks with Bubble Beam. However, Buneary's Ice Beam freezes the attack, stunning everyone. Buneary uses Dizzy Punch to knock Piplup down. Buneary seems to be trying to impress Jerry, and Piplup is now confused. Dawn doesn't know how to treat the condition until Sonic tells her to recall Piplup. But before she can do so, Buneary knocks out Piplup with Bounce.

Dawn recalls Piplup and lets Tom take his turn. Scooby-Doo gets ready to battle, but Buneary acts differently, not willing to attack. They finally notice Buneary is attracted to Scooby-Doo. Dawn tries to throw a Poké Ball, but Buneary freezes everybody with Ice Beam, though Atom Ant escapes the blast. Buneary dances with Scooby-Doo, spinning and whisking him away.

Scooby-Doo finally frees himself and scolds Buneary for freezing Tom and his friends, upsetting her and making her cry. Scooby-Doo tries to remedy the situation but he fails. Atom catches up and notices. Buneary suddenly stops crying, ears perking up at something. Suddenly, a glass ball captures Buneary, locking her into Team Cats' mecha. Atom flies away while Scooby-Doo attacks with Flash Cannon. However the attack is diverted to hurt Buneary. Migo finds the frozen group and uses Poison Jab to free them. Atom arrives and leads the group to Tin, Pan & Alley. Scooby-Doo decides to surrender against Team Platinum, and they don't hesitate to capture Scooby-Doo into another glass capsule. Scooby-Doo orders them to release Buneary, but they refuse. Dawn and the others find Team Platinum. Buneary tries to free herself with Dizzy Punch but it fails, and Snagglepuss uses Draco Meteor to try to escape. Garfield tries to rush over, but Tin, Pan & Alley blocks him. Sheriff arrives and connects Team Platinum as the factory thieves. Scooby-Doo frees himself as Team Platinum detaches a part of the mecha, lifting off with rocket propulsion. Scooby-Doo frees Buneary with Hyper Beam. Buneary use Ice Beam and Scooby-Doo uses Roar of Time to send the pod plummeting. The Pokémon jump off the falling pod. Tom catches Scooby-Doo and Dawn catches Buneary. Sheriff tries to arrest the trio, but they run away, with Sheriff in pursuit.

Buneary is drawn to Dawn, but Dawn needs to battle her again for an actual catch. She summons Piplup again, leading with Bubble Beam, but Buneary dodges. Piplup tries to evade and use Peck, but Buneary dodges again. Piplup's Bubble Beam and Buneary's Ice Beam is even. Buneary attacks with Dizzy Punch, but Piplup dodges and uses Peck successfully. Dawn throws a Poké Ball to catch Buneary, and after a few moments, it succeeds. Buneary becomes Dawn's first catch and she celebrates. Everyone congratulates her and she lets Buneary back out. Now Dawn is ready for the Jubilife Contest.
