Dawn's Piplup: Difference between revisions

Piplup came to [[Unova]] with Dawn prior to ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. In [[BW086|the following episode]], he was able to reunite with {{Ash}} and meet {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and his new object of affection—a {{an|Meloetta}} that had been following Ash's group since [[Virbank City]]. He also socialized with all the other Pokémon when they were brought out of their [[Poké Ball]]s and found a rival in [[Ash's Oshawott]], who had feelings for Meloetta, too. Later on, he had a battle with [[Cilan's Pansage]], during which he used {{m|Drill Peck}} to send Pansage's {{m|Bullet Seed}} back at him. When the Grass Monkey Pokémon used {{m|Rock Tomb}}, he negated the move using a variation of [[Counter Shield]]. After that, Pansage used {{m|Solar Beam}}, but Piplup countered with {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the two beams collided, they rose into the sky and exploded, creating a beautiful fireworks display. This left Meloetta greatly impressed, causing it to disrupt the battle and start dancing with Piplup.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Piplup was used in the first round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] against [[Ramone]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Using Drill Peck, he was able to defeat his opponent, thus allowing Dawn to proceed to the second round.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Piplup grew sad when saying goodbye to Meloetta before leaving for [[Johto]] with Dawn. His rival Oshawott then confronted him one more time, but their contempt soon turned into sadness and they bid a teary farewell. After that, Piplup jumped onto the plane and departed.
