{{Ash}} and {{ashfr | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are continuing their journey when it begins to rain. While looking for shelter, they stumble across an old house in the middle of nowhere. Believing it to be deserted, they go inside. To their surprise, [[Ash's Pikachu]] is found playing with what seems to be another Pikachu. However, this Pikachu's face is weird, which leads to {{an|Brock}} thinking it is a new kind of Pikachu. Ash tries to {{pkmn2|Caught|capture}} it, but a girl dressed as Ash appears and stops him. The girl introduces herself as [[Duplica]] and reveals that the Pikachu is actually her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}}. Upon reading Ditto's entry in the {{DL|Pokédex|In the anime|Pokédex}} and hearing that it can't learn any other [[Move|attack]]s besides {{m|Transform}}, Ash becomes unconvinced of its usefulness in a {{pkmn|battle}}, so Duplica challenges him to a battle. Ash chooses {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and tries to attack using {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Duplica's Ditto Transforms and wins using a {{m|Vine Whip}} attack. | ||
Later, Duplica explains that she wants to be a Ditto Master and a star, but she cannot because her Ditto is unable to mirror other [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]]'s faces. Whenever it transforms it still has the face a of a Ditto, much to the disappointment of her audiences. Then [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] appear and try to steal Ditto, in the hope that they can get it to transform into {{p|Dratini}} and present it to {{an|Giovanni|their boss}} as a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Using {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|SmokeScreen}}, they are able to escape with Ditto. | Later, Duplica explains that she wants to be a Ditto Master and a star, but she cannot because her Ditto is unable to mirror other [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]]'s faces.

Once they are away from the house, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] try to test Ditto's power by having it turn into a Dratini from a picture in a book that they have, at first. But then, Jessie stops James and says that they should have a little bit of fun before handing Ditto over to the boss. She asks Ditto to transform into what a certain boy would look like if he were an adult, and pulls out a photo frame. James and {{MTR}} then try to get Jessie to show the picture to them, but she refuses. Ditto agrees, and then a picture of a man with blue hair shows up with a Ditto's face. Now angry, Jessie commands Ditto to once again become a Dratini; she points to the picture of the Pokémon in the book. Instead, Ditto transforms into a book. | Once they are away from the house, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] try to test Ditto's power by having it turn into a Dratini from a picture in a book that they have, at first.

Team Rocket, still trying to get the Ditto to transform correctly, try to get it to change into Meowth. They then yell at Ditto because its face doesn't look like Meowth's after it transformed. They are angered when it is unable to change its face from its own. Eventually, they are able to threaten it into transforming correctly. | Team Rocket, still trying to get the Ditto to transform correctly, try to get it to change into Meowth.

The group demands Ditto back, and are surprised when they see two identical Meowths. Team Rocket try to trick them by giving them the real Meowth and escaping in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] with Ditto. But Duplica says she can tell that Meowth isn't her Ditto, even though it looks identical to the other Meowth. She throws Meowth at the balloon, causing Team Rocket to drop Ditto. Duplica tells it to transform into a cannon and fire Pikachu at the balloon. After being hit by Pikachu's {{m|ThunderShock}}, the balloon bursts and Team Rocket are blasted off again. | ||
Now that Ditto can transform perfectly, Duplica reopens her theater for performances. She thanks Ash and his friends and they leave, with Ash hoping to catch his own Ditto someday. | Now that Ditto can transform perfectly, Duplica reopens her theater for performances.
