{{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. | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are continuing their journey when it begins to rain.

Ironically, both battles had to deal with a Pokémon that technically isn't an original/natural-born, as Mewtwo's Venusaur was created through cloning, where as Duplica's Ditto transformed into Bulbasaur for the fight. | * The strategy that Duplica used to defeat [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] will later be repeated in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' when {{an|Mewtwo}}'s {{p|Venusaur}} defeats [[Corey]]'s {{tt|Bruteroot|Venusaur}}.

*Duplica claims that Ditto is the only Pokémon that can use Transform, but {{p|Mew}} shares this ability. However, since Mew was at this point a secret Pokémon, the writers probably made Duplica not know about Mew's existence. | * Duplica claims that Ditto is the only Pokémon that can use Transform, but {{p|Mew}} shares this ability.
