Chapter 207: Chapter 63: Imitation Confrontation
Today, Mew and her friends arrive at the Pokemon Center in the town they just arrived at. They walk inside and approach the desk.
"Hello?" Mew calls out.
"Nurse Joy!" Tomo calls out.
As Mew and Tomo call out to Nurse Joy, someone spots them and walks away
"Wonder how come nobody's here," Mew wonders.
Soon, the group hears a Chansey, and right on cue, a Chansey shows up
"Chansey? Where's Nurse Joy?" Mew questions.
Right as Misty asks, Nurse Joy appears and says, "Nurse Joy's performing a Pokemon examination."
Everyone puzzled and confused by the 'Nurse Joy' standing in front of them
"Misty, isn't she Nurse Joy?" Molly asks.
Misty turns to her, "They must have two Nurse Joys assigned to this Pokemon Center."
But Brock calls out, "Wait!" and rushes in front of 'Nurse Joy,' "This isn't Nurse Joy! This is an imposter!"
Everyone becomes baffled.
"You saw through my disguise, Brock! I should've known better than to try to fool you," 'Nurse Joy' says.
"Hey, how'd you know his name's Brock?" Jen asks.
Suddenly, the Chansey reveals itself to be a Ditto using Transform.
"Ditto?! Then…" Everyone replies, surprised.
"That's right!" 'Nurse Joy' says.
The imposter goes behind a pillar and comes back out as a familiar face, Duplica.
"I remember you, do you remember me?" The girl happily says.
"Duplica!" Everyone, but Molly and Jen say happily.
Moments later, Mew and the others introduce Jen and her Pokemon, and Molly to Duplica and Ditto, and soon the group gets acquainted with each other.
"We haven't seen you for a long time," Mew says.
"I know! I can hardly believe we ran into each other like this!" Duplica says.
"So, what are you and Ditto doing here, Duplica?" Brock asks.
"We were invited to perform at this," Duplica says, and slides a poster towards them.
Brock looks at the poster, "Hey! The Pokémon Acting Competition!"
"Yeah!" Duplica says, "Every year, the Pokemon Council for the Performing Arts asks a whole bunch of trainers and their Pokemon to come for a week and compete in shows and plays and things."
As Duplica explains the competition, Team Rocket is spying on them
"You know, that girl looks familiar," James says
"Of course she looks familiar!" Jessie angrily says, "How could you forget her?! She's that detestable Ditto trainer!"
"Yeah! Ditto's the Pokemon that toins itself into other Pokemon!" Meowth says
"Wouldn't it be nice to bring the boss one of those?" James replies.
"My thoughts exactly," Jessie says.
Back in the Center, the light over the examination room goes off, which makes Duplica happy. Nurse Joy rolls out a stretcher with a Ditto.
"That wasn't so bad, now was it?" Nurse Joy replies.
Duplica, Mew and the others approach as the other Ditto leaps into Duplica's arms.
"Hey, who's this, Duplica?" Misty asks.
"Oh, this is our brand new little friend, a Ditto I nicknamed Mini-Ditt," Duplica says.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you," Mew says.
(You, too!) Mini-Ditt happily says.
"Why was Mini-Ditt in the examination room, Duplica? Did it get hurt or something?" Brock asks.
And Nurse Joy says, "There's absolutely nothing to worry about. I gave it a thorough examination and it's in perfect health."
Soon, everyone is outside while the Pokemon play with Ditto and Mini-Ditt.
"If it's healthy, why bring it to Nurse Joy?" Brock asks.
"I'll show you," Duplica says.
Then calls out to Mini-Ditt, "Mini-Ditt, Transform into Pikachu!"
Mini-Ditt does so, and turns into Pikachu perfectly.
"It looks just like Pikachu," Mew says.
"It transforms just like Ditto," Brock says.
"Very good, Mini-Ditt. Now Transform into Togepi!" Duplica calls out.
Mini-Ditt does so.
"Togepi twins are so adorable!" Misty happily says.
"Looks like another perfect transformation," Tomo says.
Misty walks over and picks up Mini-Ditt, "You're such a cutie!" but notices something off.
"Something wrong?" Mew asks.
"It looks just like Togepi but it doesn't feel like Togepi," Misty says.
"Looks can be deceiving, Misty," Duplica replies.
Mini-Ditt transforms back.
"That's more like it," Misty says.
"There's no problem, it transforms just like Ditto," Mew says.
But Duplica says, "Not exactly, Mew. If you have a big Pokemon, I'll show you what I mean."
"Here, I got one for you," Brock says, and calls out his Onix.
Duplica turns to Mini-Ditt, "Okay, Mini-Ditt, Transform into Onix!"
Mini-Ditt does so, but everyone is shocked when they see that Mini-Ditt's transformation is much smaller than they thought. Even Team Rocket is shocked.
"Look at the size of that thing!" Jessie says, shocked.
"It's microscopic!" James says, just surprised.
Even Meowth says in surprise, "I ain't never seen a Pokemon like that!"
"That's why we've got to catch it," Jessie says,
Right!" James and Brock agree.
Team Rocket ducks down as Pikachu and Eevee get a closer look at Mini-Ditt's miniature Onix form.
"Why does it stay so small?" Mew asks
"That's the mystery. Mini-Ditt can transform into any Pokemon, but it never gets any bigger," Duplica says.
Misty looks at Mini-Ditt, "Boy, Duplica, you really catch the weirdest, whackiest, most abnormal Pokémon ever."
Misty's words pretty much shock everyone, prompting Brock to whisper to Misty that she offended her.
Misty sheepishly says, "Of course, I mean that in the best possible sense. I've never seen anyone with Pokémon as versatile or as squishy as you, Duplica."
"Having Mini-Ditt's like having every Pokémon all in one," Mew says. "You've learned every Pokémon's attack so you can adapt to any kind of transformation, right? And lots of trainers like to do that."
"I guess," Duplica says.
She then says, "In fact, I bet you're even tougher than the last time I saw you. Come on, I challenge you to a battle! Let's see who'll win this time!"
"Yeah! Mini-Ditt may be short on size, but it's long on talent!" Duplica happily says.
Mew calls out, "I choose Totodile!" and Totodile comes out.
Duplica calls out, "Mini-Ditt, transform into Totodile!" And Mini-Ditt does just that.
Mew calls out, "You make the first move!"
"This may only take one move!" Duplica says, and calls out, "Mini-Ditt, Scary Face!"
Mini-Ditt charges and does the move, but Totodile just laughs at it, surprising both Mini-Ditt and Duplica.
Mew giggles, "It's gonna take a lot more than Scary Face to stop my Totodile!"
"Ah, you go!" Duplica says.
"I've got a feeling this is gonna be interesting," Misty says.
Mew calls out, "Try a Water Gun, Totodile!"
Totodile leaps back and fires the attack, forcing Mini-Ditt back, though Mini-Ditt fights it.
"Hang in there, Mini-Ditt!" Duplica calls out.
Mew calls out, "Great job, Totodile!"
Totodile starts dancing.
Mew giggles, "Okay, okay! Take it easy! You can celebrate after we win the match."
"Hurry, Mini-Ditt! Use a Hydro Pump attack!" Duplica says.
Mini-Ditt inhales deeply, but nothing happens when it opens its mouth, confusing everyone.
"I don't understand what the problem could be, Mew. Your Totodile knows Hydro Pump, doesn't it?" Duplica says, confused.
"Sorry Duplica, but Totodile hasn't learned Hydro Pump yet," Mew says.
Totodile starts celebrating as Duplica semi-slumps.
Oh. I guess what you don't know can't hurt ya," Duplica replies.
"I remember how it works," Brocks, "Even if Duplica knows a Pokemon attack, her Ditto can't use the attack unless the Pokemon they're battling knows the attack, too."
"Mini-Ditt, try a Tackle attack!" Duplica says.
Mini-Ditt charges.
"Totodile, dodge," Mew calls out, and Totodile dodges.
"You have to work a lot harder, Mew. Totodile should know more attacks, that's your responsibility," Duplica says.
"Well, here's one for you," Mew says, and calls out. Totodile, show 'em your Bite attack!"
But before Totodile can attack, a large boom is heard.
"What's that?" Mew asks.
Everyone looks to see the roof of the Pokemon Center we partly blown apart and smoke was coming out of it. As the smoke begins to dissipate, two familiar laughs are heard, and when the smoke clears, we see two Mew and Duplica imposters as the group rush over.
"Hey! There's Mew and Duplica!" Misty says, surprised
"What are you talking about? That's not us!" Mew says.
"Those two are imposters!" Jen calls out.
"Who are you?! What do you want?!" Duplica demands.
Jessie:
Prepare for trouble, whatever you do!
James:
And make it double, we look just like you!
Jessie:
To protect the world from devastation.
James:
To unite all peoples within our nation.
Jessie:
To denounce the evils of truth and love.
James:
To extend our reach to the stars above.
Jessie:
Jessie.
James:
James.
Jessie:
Team Rocket, imitating and blasting off at the speed of light!
James:
Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight!
Wobbuffet appears
Wobbuffet:
Wobbuffet! (That's right!)
"Okay, what do you three losers want this time?!" Mew calls out
Unbeknownst to any of them, Meowth sneaks in with a sack in hand.
"Let's go, Ditto," Meowth says, and bags Mini-Ditt.
Jessie and James chuckle.
"All we want this time is what we always want," Jessie says.
"We came to steal as many Pokémon as we can, including your Pikachu and Eevee!" James says
"Well, forget it!" Mew says
"Don't try to stop us!" Jessie says.
"We take what we want!" James says.
"Wobb-uffet!" (When we want!)
Team Rocket leaps into the hole in the roof.
"Pikachu, Eevee, Totodile, let's go," Mew says.
The Pokemon agree.
Then Mew turns to Duplica, "And Duplica, we're gonna need you to help us out, too."
"Okay!" Duplica says.
Ditto jumps out of Brock's arms and says, "Ditto!" (I'll go with you!)
"Mini-Ditt…" But Duplica notices Mini-Ditt here when she turns around, "That's funny. Mini-Ditt!"
"Where'd it disappear to? It was here a second ago," Misty wonders.
Mew turns to her Totodile, "You're my Totodile, right?
Totodile confirms as it dances about making Mew giggle
"Mini-Ditt! Where are you?!" Duplica calls out
"Soon, inside the Pokémon Center, Mew and the others see the remains of the roof when they spot Nurse Joy and some of the patrons and their Pokémon looking at the wreckage as they rush towards them.
"Nurse Joy! You okay?" Brock asks.
"Everybody here's just fine. The only damage is the broken roof," Nurse Joy says.
"Alright," Brock says in relief.
"So where's Team Rocket now?" Mew asks.
"They're gone. They ran out through the lobby and straight out the back," Nurse Joy says.
"They did?" Molly says, confused.
"Are there any Pokémon missing from the Center?" Misty asks.
"Not one," Nurse Joy answers, "These were all here, but Team Rocket just ran right by."
Confused, Misty says, "I don't understand, Team Rocket said they came to steal…"
Suddenly, Duplica comes in holding Ditto and looking glum.
"Duplica, did you find Mini-Ditt?" Jen asks.
"Mini-Ditt's not here," Duplica answers, still looking glum.
"I think I know what happened here!" Brock says.
"I'm starting to think the same thing," Mew says.
"Team Rocket dressed up like you guys and used that explosion as a diversion so they could steal Mini-Ditt!" Brock says.
"That's why Meowth wasn't with them on the roof! He kidnapped Mini-Ditt without us noticing," Mew says.
Meanwhile, out in the forest, Team Rocket looks at their ill-gotten Pokemon.
Jessie chuckles.
"Well, the plan woiked poifect, "Meowth says.
"Yes, but since we attacked the Pokemon Center anyway, don't you think it would've been a good idea to grab a whole bunch of other Pokemon while we had the chance?" James questions.
Jessie angrily motions towards James
"What'd I say?" James asks, frightened.
Jessie explains, "We always make the same mistake! We always try to catch Pikachu, and when we do, we get greedy. Well, we're not going to make that mistake this time because this time we're going to learn from our mistakes."
"I guess you're right, Jessie. For once, we should be satisfied with one very rare, very valuable, very squishy Pokemon and be happy with what we've got," James says.
But Meowth says, "Guess again!"
Jessie and James look at Meowth puzzled.
"Obviously yous two don't see the potential here, but if we woik this thing right, we can let Ditto go back home," Meowth says.
"Back home?!" James replies, confused.
"Why would we let it go?! It's the only valuable thing we've got!" Jessie asks, angrily.
And Meowth says, "Cause if we do tings my way, we'll have more Pokemon than we can handle."
Meowth pictures the plan.
Meowth: (V.O.) Okay, here's what we do. Foist, we get Ditto here to Transform into a wittle, bitty Arbok.
James (fantasy): The new wonder of the Pokemon world!
Jessie (fantasy): And you're in luck, Pokemon fans, because for one day only, we'll trade this valuable mini Arbok, so step right up!
Meowth: (V.O.) We bide our time and pretty soon, some fancy pants Pokemon collector is gonna come along and say…
Collector: That's quite an unusual Arbok you have and I should like to add it to my collection so perhaps you would like to trade it for this Dragonite?
End:
"A Dragonite?!" Jessie and James say in shock, and fantasize what it would be like to have a Dragonite.
"This way, instead of being stuck with a freaky little pocket sized Pokemon, we'd have a big power Pokemon that we'd never have a chance to steal otherwise," Mewoth says.
Team Rocket celebrates.
But James says, "But then we won't have Ditto."
"We will after we go and swipe it back from that collector guy," Meowth says.
"I get it! Then we'll have two Pokemon instead of one!" James replies.
"If we follow my plan, we'll have a lot more than two," Meowth says. "All we gotta do is keep moving from town to town and have Ditto keep transforming into mini Pokemon. We keep trading with the collectors and after we make the trades, we keep stealing Ditto back ovah and ovah. Pretty soon, we'll have every rare Pokemon we always dreamed of."
"Oh! Imagine us with all of those precious Pokemon!" Jessie happily says.
James is just as happy, "Once we have the ones we want, we ditch Ditto!
Meowth then pats Ditto on the head, "That's right, my little friend, so just do like we tell you and you'll be home in no time."
"Ditt" (Right.) Min-Ditt sadly says.
Meanwhile, at the Pokemon Center, Mew and the others regroup after searching for Team Rocket and Mini-Ditt
"Guys! Any sign of them?" Mew says.
"No," Misty answers.
"No luck," Tomo says
"We looked all over, but we couldn't find Mini-Ditt anywhere," Brock says
Mew turns to Duplica, "Don't worry, we will."
"Maybe Noctowl and Ditto will have better luck finding my little friend than we did," Duplica says.
Soon, both Noctowl and Ditto arrive.
"Hey, Noctowl," Mew calls out.
"Ditto, did you see Mini-Ditt?" Duplica asks.
Ditto answers that it hasn't seen Mini-Ditt or Team Rocket
"They could be anywhere by now. I think we better call Officer Jenny so the police can start looking," Brock says.
Suddenly, they hear Nurse Joy, "Mew!"
"Nurse Joy!" Mew says, and looks to see Nurse Joy rushing to them.
Arriving, Nurse Joy says, "A trainer who just came into the Pokemon Center saw that a couple of suspicious people in a town nearby are on the street trying to trade a miniature Arbok."
"A miniature Arbok?" Tomo questions
"Do you think…?" Jen asks.
"It's possible," Molly says.
Meanwhile, at the nearby town, Jessie and James are advertising their 'trade')
"Step right up, folks! What you see is what you get! Arbok the Cobra Pokemon, now in mini size! Amaze your friends, fool your enemy!" Jessie calls out.
"Not only that, but this petit Pokemon is easy to bathe and cheap to feed!" James says, and smacks a fan on the table, "Let's trade!"
You heard right, ladies and gentlemen, for one day only, we're willing to trade! So, let's make a deal!" Jessie says.
Soon, Trainers begin to ask for their trade, One says, "I'll be happy to trade my Beedrill for it!"
Another trainer shoves the boy aside, "In here, I have a wonderful little Wooper."
"Settle down! Settle down!" James shouts as he smacks a fan on the table, "Don't you realize how rare and valuable a mini Arbok is? We can't trade it for a Beedrill or a Wooper!"
Jessie and James turn around.
Jessie whispers, "I'm not so sure about Meowth's plan anymore, James. There's not one Dragonite in this whole crowd."
"Let's get out of here," James whispers.
But Meowth says, "We're not going anywhere! The plan will woik, just give it time!"
"What do you think, James? Should we stay or should we go?" Jessie asks
"I say we quit while we're ahead, Jessie," James says.
But Meowth says, "A few minutes more won't kill ya. And I want that Dragonite."
Soon, Mew, Pikachu, and Eevee arrive.
"Duplica, guys, over here!" Mew calls out
Jessie and James freeze up when they hear Mew's voice and turn to see the rest of her friends show up
"A mini Arbok!" Duplica says, shocked.
"This is very suspicious," Misty says.
"Where did you get that Arbok?" Tomo asks.
James smacks the fan on the table, "I was hoping you'd ask!
"But it's such a hideously horrible tale of terror that I'm not sure you're old enough to hear it!" Jessie says.
Then James says, "In fact, the story of this strange Pokemon is so intensely shocking that we can't divulge it to the general public!"
"And besides we're here to swap Pokémon, not stories!" Jessie says.
Duplica looks at the Pokemon in the cage, "I still think this is my Ditto!"
"Your Ditto?!" Jessie questions, "Well, if that's what you think you'll have to prove it to me!"
"We'll need to see your Pokemon Registration Card and a photo ID!" James says.
"There's something awfully familiar about you two! Mew says.
And James says, "Ahhh, I know! Perhaps you might consider trading our mini Arbok for your little Pikachu there? Or perhaps that little Eevee?
"Pika?/Eev?" (Say what?) Pikachu and Eevee reply confused.
And Jessie says, "You'd look tougher with Arbok on your shoulder!"
"But I don't want to trade!" Mew denies
"Isn't it time for a change?" James questions.
Mew continues to deny, "There's no way I'm ever going to trade my Pikachu or my Eevee!"
Soon, Meowth shows up and blows their cover, "EEEH! Can't you two make one lousy trade?"
Everyone backs away.
"It's Meowth!" Jen says, surprised.
"That explains everything!" Misty says.
"That's Team Rocket!" Brock says.
Wobbuffet soon appears, "WOBBUFFET!" (We're busted!)
"Nobody asked you to come out! Now get back in your Pokéball and stay there!" Jessie angrily says as she grabs Wobbuffet.
James then pressures Meowth's head, "I'll fix you!"
Then Jessie says, "Since our scheme didn't work…"
"We'll steal you the old-fashioned way!" James says.
And Mew calls out, "Pikachu, use your Thunderbolt attack!"
Pikachu uses the attack, tearing Jessie and James' disguises to shreds and sending all of Team Rocket them flying into a tree, while freeing Mini-Ditt in the process.
Duplica catches Mini-Ditt, "Mini-Ditt!"
Jessie comes out from under the table, "So you want to play rough, do you?" and calls out, "Go, Arbok!"
Arbok comes out along with Wobbuffet, to Jessie's shigrin. But as she prepares to recall Wobuffet
But Meowth says, "Hold it, Jess! We can't give up that easy! Wobbuffet can fight em off with its Counter attack!"
"Ah! Okay!" Jessie says, and gives a thumbs up.
"Since you're such a two-face and a two-timer, I might as well battle with both my two Ditto!" Duplica says.
"I'll use two, too! Bring it on, Ditto," Jessie says.
"Okay, Ditto, you Transform into Arbok first," Duplica says.
Ditto does so.
Duplica then says, "And you transform into Wobbuffet, Mini-Ditt."
Mini-Ditt does so and the crowd is amazed to see a Mini Wobbuffet.
"Ditto, Tackle that Wobbuffet!" Duplica calls out.
Ditto charges in for the attack.
"Wobbuffet, use your Counter attack!" Jessie says.
Wobbuffet does so, effortlessly blocking Ditto's attack.
"Poor Ditto, are you alright?" Jessie asks.
"Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!" Jessie cheers.
"Wobb-uffet!" (Too easy!) Wobbuffet says.
Ditto gets back up.
"We're in trouble, Ditto. That Wobbuffet's Counterattack is really strong!" Duplica says.
"Come on, shoppers, don't be shy! Step on up to the counter, we have a special today on losing," Jessie says.
"We've got to do something!" Mew says.
Mini-Ditt steps forward
"Arbok, Poison Sting that little Wobbu-runt!" Jessie calls out.
Arbok fires the attack.
Duplica calls out, "Mini-Ditt, try a Counterattack!"
Min-Ditt uses Counter and it reflect the attack back to Arbok
Jessie calls out, "Dodge it, Arbok!"
Arbok does so, and the attack heads right to and just barely misses hitting James.
"Not too bad!" Duplica says.
Meowth whispers, "Hey, Jim, while they're all concentrating on them Ditto, we got a chance to launch a sneak attack and grab Pikachu and Eevee.
"Okay!" Weezing says, and calls out on his Pokemon, "Alright, Weezing, Sludge attack that Pikachu and Eevee!
Weezing comes out and prepares the attack.
Duplica notices and calls out, "Go, Ditto! Squeeze that Weezing with a Wrap attack!"
Ditto manages to coil around Weezing, shocking James.
"You see?! That's what you get for butting in!" Duplica says.
"We're a team, kid, and we'll do whatever it takes to win!" Jessie says.
"I heartily agree!" James says.
"If that's what you want, then let's battle four on four!" Mew says.
Then Pikachu and Eevee step into the battle.
"Then go Victreebel," James says, and calls out Victreebel.
And once again, Victreebel chomps on his head.
"Not me, Victeebel! Them!" James cries out.
"What are we waiting for?" Jessie questions.
The four Pokemon of Team Rocket agree.
"Pikachu, use your Thunderbolt attack! Mew calls out.
Pikachu launches the attack.
Jessie calls out, "Counter it!"
Wobbuffet uses the attack that reflects the Thunderbolt with more force than before.
"Look out!" Mew cries out.
Everyone quickly evades the attack, human and Pokemon alike.
Meowth laughs triumphantly, "What goes around comes around!"
"You know, there's another way to use Counter," Duplica says.
"What are you thinking Duplica?" Misty asks.
"Your Wobbuffet may be bigger, but my Mini-Ditt Wobbuffet is ten times better!" Duplica says.
Jessie feels offended, "Hey, what are you talking about? My Wobbuffet is clearly bigger and better!"
But Duplica says, "I don't think that's clear at all. And if that's how you really feel, why do I get the feeling that you're afraid to attack my Mini-Ditt Wobbuffet?"
"Ha! Arbok, Tackle attack that little shrimp!" Jessie says, calling out the attack.
Arbok charges the attack.
"Quick, Mini-Ditt, use Counterattack!" Duplica calls out.
Mini-Ditt does so and Arbok is reflected hard enough to knock Jessie into the tree behind her.
"Alright, Weezing, use your Sludge attack!" James calls out.
Weezing fires the attack.
Then Duplica calls out, "Quick, Mini-Ditt, use Mirror Coat!"
Mini-Ditt uses Mirror Coat and Weezing's attack is reflected right back, knocking it back hard enough to send James into the tree.
"Mirror Coat?" Jessie says.
"Not everybody knows it, but Wobbuffet has two kinds of attacks. Counterattacks for physical types of attacks like Tackle and Bite, and Mirror Coat reflect more specialized types of attacks like Thunderbolt and Sludge attack," Duplica says.
"That's really cool," Mew says.
"Mirror Coat don't sound like no Pokemon attack, it sounds like something you rub on a sports car," Meowth replies.
And James soon says, "I think I understand, that kid's little Ditto wasn't obeying Jessie's commands, it was doing what it could to protect itself!"
"Mini-Ditt knew I'd find it sooner or later, so it decided to play along till I did! That's what happens when a great trainer trains a great Pokemon," Duplica says.
"That's very impressive," James says.
"Wobb-uffet!" (It sure is!) Wobbuffet says.
"I can't take this anymore! We have to beat that mini Wobbuffet!" Jessie angrily says.
And turns to Meowth, "Just don't stand there, do something!"
"I'll show em what a REAL attack looks like!" Meowth says, and leaps in, "Prepare for Fury Swipes!"
"Fury Swipes is a physical attack, to use Counter!" Duplica says.
Mini-Ditt does so, reflecting Meowth's attack right back at it, causing Meowth to hop around in pain before smacking into the tree.
"Now that Meowth's out, let's work on the others," Mew says.
"Pika!" (Got it!) Pikachu says.
"Eevee!" (Let's finish this!) Eevee says.
Then Mew brings out her Pokeball, "And hope you don't mind." and throws her Pokeball.
"Come on out, Ditto!" Mew says.
And soon, Shiny Ditton comes out.
Duplica says, "Hi Shiny Ditt, long time no see."
Shiny Ditto turns to Duplica and happily says, "Hi Duplica."
Just then, James turns to Jessie, " I know a way to beat them at their own game, Jessie. All you have to do is have Wobbuffet counter all their attacks."
"Hurry, guys! I need you both to Transform into Pikachu!" Duplica says, and both Ditto do just that.
Mew turns to Shiny Ditto, "Ditto transforms into Eevee."
Shiny Ditto also transforms into Eevee.
Both girls shout, "Thunder!"
All five Pokemon combine and fire the attack.
Meanwhile, Jessie panics, "I can't remember which one works against Thunder attack! Is it Counter or Mirror Coat?"
"Wobb-uffet!" (Mirror Coat!) Wobbuffet says.
As Jessie rambles on, the attack starts coming down.
"I can't think straight, James! Which one is it?!" Jessie panics.
"You're the smart one, not me!" James cries out.
And Jessie says, "Wobbuffet, use your head for once! You decide!"
"Wobb-uffet…" (Uh...) Wobbuffet replies.
But before Wobbuffet can do anything, the combined attack lands and sends them flying.
"Wobbuffet!" (Counter!) Wobbuffet cries out
"I should've known better than to depend on you!" Jessie says, frustrated.
"We're blasting off again!" Team Rocket cries out.
And are sent flying far away.
"You have a lot to learn about your Wobbuffet!" Duplica calls out.
"Pikachu!/ Eevee! (And how!) The five Pokemon call out.
"Well, we sure showed them!" Mew says.
"You're right, Mew. But they made it pretty easy for us," Duplica says.
Later, everyone returns to the Pokemon Center
Duplica introduces Min-Ditt to the other trainers, "And this is my amazing Pokémon, Mini-Ditt! Mini-Ditt transforms into a miniature version of any Pokémon."
"Hmm, let's see," Mew says.
Soon, Tomo spots an Ursaring, "Hey, I'd really like a see a little, tiny Ursaring."
"Sure! I'd like to see that, too!" The trainer says.
Duplica turns to Mini-Ditt, "Mini-Ditt, Transform into Ursaring."
Mini-Ditt does so, amazing everyone and shocking the real Ursaring
"You look just like a cuddly little teddy bear," Misty says.
"You're so cute," Molly happily says.
Mew turns to Duplica, "Just because Mini-Ditt doesn't get bigger, doesn't mean it isn't special."
"No two Pokémon are exactly alike. The differences are what make Pokémon so interesting, don't you think?" Brock says.
Duplica chuckles, "Guess you're right."
Nurse Joy nods in agreement
Then Duplica has an idea, "Hey! Maybe what I should do is specialize in catching Ditto that all have their own special ways of transforming, and create a Team Ditto!"
Mini-Ditt agrees as it hops onto Duplica's arms and turns back.
"If you do that, you'll be a Ditto master!" Mew says
"Not if I keep battling, when are we gonna finish that match we started?" Duplica asks.
"We're ready when you are!" Mew says.
"Pika Pika!" (Super ready!) Pikachu says.
"Eevee Eevee!" (We're ready when you are!) Eevee says.
"Mew, don't we have to get going?" Misty asks.
"Sure we do, Misty, but our battle got interrupted when Team Rocket showed up, and now that they're gone, we gotta finish it up!" Mew says, and turns to Duplica, "Come on!"
"She's gotten smarter, guys, so this could take a while," Duplica says, and rushes outside.
Everyone else follows as Mew and Duplica begin to battle with one another.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is stuck in a tree.
"See? It's right here in the guide under Wobbuffet," James says, looking at the book.
Jessie takes the book, "I bet the guide doesn't say what to do with a Wobbuffet that's too dense to help its trainer avoid getting blasted away by time and time again!"
"Wob, Wobbuffet," (Man, that hurt.) Wobbuffet says.
Jessie says in frustration, "I don't understand it, Mini-Ditt was half the size of our Wobbuffet. Its brain must be half the size, too! How could it be smarter than Wobbuffet?!"
Wobbuffet says, "Wobbuffet!" (It just was!)
