Twice Smitten, Once Shy

*Twice Smitten, Once Shy* is the 9th episode of Diamond And Pearl.

## **Plot**

The episode starts out Dawn is staring at a Pokémon she finds cute. Bugs and Tom watch what's happening and learn the Pokémon is called Pachirisu. Dawn adores it and wants to catch it, so she sends Piplup. Piplup goes to peck, but gets stopped and confused by Sweet Kiss. Dawn returns it and sends Buneary, who uses Dizzy Punch on it. Pachirisu retaliates with Spark, hitting her, so Buneary uses Ice Beam, but misses. Pachirisu electrocutes everyone, but is tired, so Dawn sends Piplup back. Piplup hits it with BubbleBeam and Dawn throws her Poké Ball, then catches the Pachirisu.

Tin is happily skipping, though Pan and Alley are not impressed. Tin tells that he will compete in Floaroma Town contest and win the ribbon. Alley asks which move will he use, so Tin plans to capture one first. In the night, Dawn is dreaming to win the Contest with Pachirisu. She wakes up and sees it sleeping, so goes back to dreaming. In the morning, Dawn has prepared herself for the new day, while Jerry is excited to have his first badge. Dawn trains with Pachirisu and places her hand on its head, but gets electrocuted. Dawn is terrified to see her hair becoming a mess and calls Pachirisu back, but Pachirisu does not want to. Dawn sends Piplup and Buneary to take care of that problem.

They charge, though miss, as Pachirisu is very quick. They get tired after some time. Ash and Brock see this and Ash orders Pikachu to grab Pachirisu. Pikachu misses several times, as Pachirisu is too quick. Tom sends everyone. It is too quick and passes them, but after some time, Piplup and Buneary recover and corner it. However, Pachirisu escapes and is chased. They corner it once more and Pachirisu uses Discharge to damage them all, but then falls down. Dawn thinks Pachirisu is fine and shakes it, causing herself to be electrocuted.

Dawn makes her hair once more and wonders if Pachirisu does not like her. Dawn goes out of the tent and releases Pachirisu. Dawn tells it is free now to run wherever it wants, but Pachirisu seems to like her. Dawn runs away and Daffy thinks she could eat to cheer herself up, but she does not want to. Dawn tells the boys she let Pachirisu out, as it caused a lot of trouble. Sonic respond it is too early to release it. Pachirisu runs and comes to a spot and sleeps. Team Rocket see this and Jessie has the idea of capturing it. Dawn sees the clouds and thinks of Pachirisu. She comes back to Ash and Brock and is willing to capture it again. Ash and Brock tell they will help in this task.

In the meantime, Tom and Bugs contact Giratina, who explains about trouble. Giratina told the boys Pachirisu must listen and do what anyone say. And so, they stop contacting Giratina, now it's time for contacting Dialga. And they contact Palkia and their contact ends.

Tin throws his ring, but Pachirisu comes out and throws the ring at his face. The heroes see this and tell it is Dawn's. However, Dawn released it, but she is willing to get it back. To decide, they will see if Pachirisu wants Tin or Dawn. Jessie takes the last food supplies. Pachirisu comes and electrocutes them, then eats the food. Dawn apologies to Pachirisu. The three evil cats tries to take it, but Pachirisu is quick. So, they affect it's foot by throwing a goop, trapped. Dawn sends Piplup and Buneary, but the goop is thrown and they are affected. Dawn goes to protect Pachirisu, but gets also affected by the goop, along with Tom and Bugs.

Dawn still protects it, but is defenseless. While Tin and Alley are holding her, Pan used a special potion that dissolve the goop out of Pachirisu's foot freeing it to catch it. Pachirisu runs away and Tin wants it back. Pachirisu comes to Tin. Pan and Alley think they could get Piplip while they're at it, but Tin tells them if they are more ambitious, their plans fail, so they fly away with Pachirisu. Tin snuggles it, but Pachirisu uses Discharge and he, along with Pan and Alley, get blasted off. Dawn is sad, but blames herself because of the choice Pachirisu made, but suddenly Pachirisu comes back. Dawn offers it to come with them and Pachirisu agrees, as it lets itself get captured.

At the end of episode, God told the audience about Republic City, which he is going to send someone to follow them as the episode ends.
