==Synopsis==
Continuing on their Pokémon journey, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} arrive at a [[Pokémon Center]]. They are curious as to why it appears nobody is there, until a {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} and an unusual-looking [[Nurse Joy]] appear. She tells them that she was doing a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} examination. {{an|Brock}}, however, is suspicious, and calls out Nurse Joy as being an impostor. Congratulating him on seeing through the disguise, both Nurse Joy and Chansey reveal themselves to be [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}}. She explains that she is participating in a Pokémon acting competition, and will enter with her new {{p|Ditto}}, [[Mini-Dit]]. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, spying on the trainers from afar, recognize Duplica. They being formulating their plan to snatch her Ditto.

After completing its examination, everyone is outside playing. Brock asks Duplica why Mini-Dit was being examined. She decides to show visually why it was at the center. After {{m|Transform}}ing perfectly into {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, Mini-Dit then Transforms into [[Brock's Onix]]. However, its size is nowhere near that of an actual Onix; rather, it is closer to being the size of Pikachu and Togepi. Noticing this, Team Rocket decides to steal Mini-Dit as well. Ash then challenges Mini-Dit to a {{pkmn|battle}}.
