I don't think Dawn will be getting Cherubi or any Pokemon right this minute.

Now, I don't mind if the Pokemon Company would repeat plotlines, but they are just copying way too many old plotlines for my liking. Instead of bringing back old memories like DP074 "Pika and Goliath!", now they are just outright overdoing it and making it look like they ran out of ideas and so decided to use old ones until they can think up of new ones. And what makes things even more annoying is that we already had Dustox released in a similiar way Ash released his Butterfree, we didn't really need to release another Pokemon, especially one that belongs to Dawn being she only has 5... I mean 4 Pokemon (now she does). At least let her complete her team for Sinnoh and then in the season inbetween Sinnoh and the 5th Generation Region can you decided to have her release Ambipom (or any of her Pokemon) to make room for any new ones she catch (or better yet, have her leave some with her mom like May did for the Battle Frontier).

But here's my main question: what was Ambipom for if they were just going to have Ash catch it, trade it to Dawn, and then have her release it? Did they just wanted to show off Ambipom so we can mark it down in our "anime appearance" book and then get rid of it to give Dawn the intended team they wanted her to have? If this was the case they could have just had an episode where an Ambipom appeared and never had to have Ash catch Aipom and go through this whole thing.

Okay, now I'm done ranting and raving. Anyway there is an up coming episode which involves a trainer and a Cherubi who don't look eye-to-eye. Now I'm a long time supporter for Dawn getting a Cherrim, and think that her getting a Cherubi and evolving it might be a better experience for her then just catching a Cherrim as is. So hopefully either in that episode or some other she catches a Cherubi (or Cherrim), because it would make a good addition to her team AND she now needs 2 Pokemon to fill up her team.

Don't blame Ambipom, blame the Writers & their smart thinking! I bet you they did that on purpose, just to have another thing similar to happen to Dawn that had happened to Ash previously. Here are the things that happened to Dawn that had previously happened to Ash:

1] Ash's Charmander evolved into Charmeleon & disobeyed him. Dawn's Swinub evolved into Piloswine & disobeyed her. Even after evolution, they disobeyed their trainers but eventually began obeying their trainers.

2] Ash & Pikachu say a Legendary during the first Episode of the Series, while Dawn & Piplup saw a Legendary in the first episode of the Diamond & Pearl Series.

3] The whole Ambipom & Primeape thing.

4] Losing quite a bit in their respective challenges but bouncing back later on. After Ash bounced back(Losing against Brock, Lt. Surge, and Sabrina), he began winning up until his second to last Gym battle, losing. Dawn began bouncing back and during her second to last ribbon challenge, she loses.

5] Both of Ash & Dawn's Starter Pokemon are part of a 3 evolutionary Line & they did not evolve at all.(Even though Pichu[Pikachu's Pre-evolution] was a second generation)

6] Both of Ash Dawn's Starter Pokemon have had at least 1 Episode releated to evolving, with Ash's Pikachu having 2 Episodes & Dawn's Piplup having one. Also, one of Ash's Pokemon(Bulbasaur) has the similar evolution process that Piplup had, where they glow & Team Rocket attempted to interrupt the process.

* I am sure there are more but here are the more important ones.

I know, let's give Dawn the Cherubi and Brock the Leafeon.

Brock is always the Main Character when it comes to Fillers! Give him some more screentime because the Writers are making his Pokemon have less screentime. When was the last time Croagunk Poison Jabbed Brock?

... Yesterdays episode...

I knew if I didn't put the "Original Version" next to it, it would cause confusion. Well, I meant in the Original Version.

Mothim? Hm, as long as Dawn gets a Cherubi she can also get a Mothim. That case, everyone ones!
