EP037: Difference between revisions

{{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.  

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.
