Dawn's Piplup begins to show signs of evolution, but as soon as Piplup begins to evolve, it stops itself by using Bide and then collapsing afterwards. Barry and Kenny show up and tell Dawn all about how great it will be when Piplup evolves. Dawn goes to Piplup and it begins to evolve but stops itself again. Piplup tells Dawn it doesn't want to evolve and runs off. After being attacked by Team Rocket, Dawn decides not to evolve Piplup and Nurse Joy gives Dawn an Everstone to prevent Piplup from evolving. |
