It was a slightly disheveled start to the day for our Heroes, as Dawn woke up with a bad case of pillow head and was not amused - but things became really interesting when a Buneary suddenly appeared on the scene. Of course Dawn wanted to catch it, but Ash did as well, when he witnessed Buneary's astounding speed and power. Things got worse for everyone when Team Rocket showed up looking to abduct both Buneary and Pikachu - literally stopping and freezing our Heroes in their tracks. But thanks to Croagunk's quick thinking and power, they were unfrozen, following which, with the help of Pikachu's powerful Iron Tail, they were able to break free from Team Rocket's evil clutches, leaving the 3 thieves in a smoldering heap of yet another mangled machine. Meanwhile, Buneary had become quite fond of Pikachu and Dawn. So with a request to join Dawn on her journey, Dawn set out to battle and ultimately capture the cute creature, allowing Dawn to feel confident, excited and prepared for her upcoming Pokémon Contest in Jubelife City!
