'''Ryan Ray Franklin''' (born [[March 5]], [[1973]]) is a [[Major League Baseball]] player. Franklin is a right-handed [[pitcher]] for the [[St. Louis Cardinals]].

==In the anime==

The [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'' anime]] [[Television program|series]] and [[film]]s are a meta-series of adventures separate from the [[canon (fiction)|canon]] that most of the ''Pokémon'' video games follow (with the exception of ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]'', a game based on the anime storyline). The anime follows the quest of the main character, [[Ash Ketchum]]<ref name=ash> [http://www.psypokes.com/anime/index.php ''Pokémon'' anime overview] ''Psypokes.com''. URL Accessed [[May 25]], [[2006]].</ref>—an in-training Pokémon Master—as he and several other companions<ref name=ash/> travel around the fictitious world of Pokémon along with their Pokémon partners.

On [[August 2]], [[2005 in sports|2005]], Franklin became the eighth Major League player, and second [[Seattle Mariners|Mariner]], to test positive for [[steroid]] use. He received a ten day suspension.

In the anime, Dawn is a ten year old girl Pokémon trainer from Twinleaf Town in [[Sinnoh]]. Her mother Johanna was once a Top [[Pokémon coordinator]], having won the Grand Festival. Wishing to follow in her mother's footsteps, Dawn set out to become a Pokémon coordinator. Her starter Pokémon was a [[Piplup]], received from [[Professor Rowan]]. She chose Piplup specifically because they already went through an adventure. Dawn also saw the [[legendary Pokémon]] [[Mesprit]] (similar to Ash, who saw [[Ho-Oh]] at the start of his journey).

Franklin was a member of the gold medal winning US baseball team at the [[2000 Summer Olympics|2000 Olympics]], where he had a 3-0 pitching record in 4 appearances.

Dawn came across an injured Pikachu whom she thought was a wild Pikachu thus Dawn and Piplup came forward and began trying to attack and capture it. Whilst defending itself from Dawn's Piplup, the Pikachu destroyed her bike (a running gag in the series similar to when both [[May (Pokémon)|May]] and [[Misty (Pokémon)|Misty]] have had their bikes fried by an errant bolt of lightning). As it turned out, the Pikachu she came across was Ash's injured Pikachu. She and Piplup, again by themselves, helped save Pikachu from [[Team Rocket]]. She is currently traveling through Sinnoh with Ash and [[Brock (Pokémon)|Brock]]. She also finds a rival in Zoey. In some of the episodes, Dawn tends to wear different clothing almost everyday. In contests, she usually puts on a fashionable dress. On the first episode, "Following a Maiden Voyage", she brought a suitcase full of contest dresses and clothing. However, her mother packed the necessary things in a small Pokémon bag (similar to the one in the games). She won the Floroama Ribbon with the help of Pachirisu and Piplup. She has a habit of saying "Daijōbu!" meaning 'it's fine!' even though it's not.

Born in [[Fort Smith, Arkansas]], Franklin grew up in [[Spiro, Oklahoma]].

==Career Stats==

::Piplup is Dawn's starter Pokémon from the episode "Following a Maiden Voyage". Piplup had chased after Chimchar in Professor Rowan's lab in Sandgem Town after it stole its food and they got in a fight. Dawn found Piplup trapped in Ariados' web. She was able to free Piplup and they both escaped. Dawn and Piplup are best friends, though they tend to get into fights every now and then.

Stats as of 2006

*'''[[Buneary]]'''

::Buneary is the first Pokémon Dawn captured in the episode "Setting the world on its Buneary". Dawn has tried to capture a Buneary many times before but kept failing each time. Buneary is a female and has a crush on Ash's Pikachu, which can be spotted when it covers its face with its fluff and blushes. Later, it was defeated by Piplup and captured by Dawn.

*'''[[Pachirisu]]'''

::Dawn found and captured a Pachirisu in the episode "I Got a Pachirisu!" Pachirisu tends to be hyperactive and runs away after she caught it. Pachirisu also zaps Dawn. (Compare to Pikachu and Ash in the beginning of the anime.) Dawn thought that she can't tame Pachirisu and released it. But after a battle with Team Rocket, Dawn recaptures Pachirisu and it became an active part of her roster.

*'''[[Buizel]]'''

[[Category:Baseball players suspended for drug offenses|Franklin, Ryan]]

::Dawn caught Buizel in "Buizel! Road to Strength!!". Buizel is a strong Pokémon that defeated Ash's Pikachu, Dawn's Piplup and Zoey's Glameow. After a rematch with Dawn, Piplup defeated Buizel and it was caught. Buizel is very competitive so it dislikes losing. This was proven when it battled Lucian's Bronzong, after which that Buizel started to be more friendly.
