As we left Ash and Dawn, they have gone out on their first date at Nacrene and Dawn go to the park and enjoy the beautiful night skies together.
Dawn: Aren't they beautiful Ash?
Ash: They sure are but not as beautiful as your eyes.
Dawn: You're so sweet.
Ash: You know back at Arrowroot Town, when you pretend to be Princess Salvia. I wish I could of stayed with you while doing her royal duties.
Dawn: Really?
Ash: Yeah, I was stun when I first saw you in that dress. I was lost in your beauty.
Dawn: You are very so kind Ash.
Dawn laid her head on Ash's shoulder and Ash grabs Dawn's hand to show his love towards her.
Ash grabs Dawn's chin and he look her eyes deeply. Dawn leans forward slowly to Ash. They are about to share their first kiss together. Just when they are about to kiss, someone shouted for help and the couple have to postpone the kiss.

Women: Those terrible people took my precious Purrloin away.
Dawn: Come on Ash lets find them.
Ash: Right.
The couple follows the group of thugs and they have them corners of an alley.
The group of thugs are Team Plasma; trying to liberate Purrloin from the women near the park.
Ash: It's Team Plasma.
Dawn: Why did you steal that Purrloin from that woman?
Plasma Grunt 1: We are stealing Purrloin from her; we are freeing Purrloin to the wild.
Dawn: You're wrong; we all love Pokémon just as much as you do. So please give that Purrloin back to the woman.
Plasma Grunt 2: Only if you beat us in a battle.
Ash: I thought you are against battling.
Plasma Grunt 1: We are but we do it for Pokémon liberation.
Ash: Fine it's a battle you want; it's a battle you get.
Ash and Dawn get their Pokéballs ready but they left them with Pikachu and Piplup back at the Pokémon Center.
Ash: Oh no I forgot my Pokéballs back at the Center.
Dawn: I forgot mine too.
Plasma Grunt 1: Huh and you calls yourselves Pokémon trainers, pathetic.
?: I'll battle them!
Ash and Dawn turn around to see it was Gary that challenges Team Plasma to a battle.
Ash: Gary!
Dawn: I didn't expect him to be here.
Ash: I saw him earlier back at the Center when I was waiting for you.
Plasma Grunt 2: Just who are you?
Gary: I'm Gary Oak from Pallet Town and I challenge you to a battle for Purrloin's freedom.
Plasma Grunt 2: We accept; a double battle and only 2 Pokémon are allowed.
They head towards the park for a double. Ash and Dawn are cheering for Gary.
Gary: Go Blastoise and Umbreon Go!
Plasma Grunt 1: Go Gothorita!
Plasma Grunt 2: Go Duosion!
Dawn checks her Pokédex to find information about the two Pokémon.

Ash: You can do Gary!
Gary: Thanks Ash. Alright Blastoise use Hydro Cannon at Gothorita and Umbreon use Shadow Ball at Duosion.
Both Gothorita and Duosion were knock out in one hit.
Plasma Grunt 1: What! How did he beat us so quick?
