"I've heard of Ditto, but I never seen one up close in person before." said Hayley, taking a closer look at Ditto.
"Riolu." said Meeko, taking a closer look as well.
"Ditto." Ditto said, looking closely at Meeko.
"Yeah, but you can't have the fun of teaching it different attacks." said Ash, ignoring Hayley and Meeko. "That is kind of boring."
"You think that's boring? Ha!" Duplica said to Ash, glaring at him. "Well, that's what everyone says who doesn't understand Ditto's real power."
"It's real power?" asked Ash.
"Let's have a little match." Duplica suggested. "Then you'll understand, Ashy-boy."
"Ashy-boy?" questioned Ash.
"That sounds like Gary." said Hayley. Theater lights were turned on as Duplica and Ash took the stage while Hayley, Meeko, Misty and Brock sat in the audience.
"Ditto's power. Let's just see." said Brock as Misty, Hayley and Meeko had popcorn in their laps.
"Mm-hm." said the girls, chomping on their popcorn.
"I chose to use my Ditto, of course." said Duplica.
"You choose what you want." said Ash. "Bulbasaur, I choose you!"
"Bulbasaur."
"Go, little Ditto. Transform!" said Duplica.
"Ditto!" squealed Ditto as it transformed into Bulbasaur.
"Oh my god. She even did his classic hat turning." said Hayley, her eyes bugging out.
"Riolu." said Meeko.
"Bulbasaur." said Bulbasaur, confused by what it just seen.
"Bulba." said Ditto.
"You'll have to be better than that." said Ash.
"Uh-uh-uh." said Duplica, wagging her finger at him. "You haven't seen the best part yet."
"And that would be.....what exactly?" Hayley muttered, feeling bored.
"I'll show her." said Ash. "Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf."
"Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur." said Bulbasaur, sending out its Razor Leaf at Ditto.
"Ditto, Vine Whip." said Duplica.
"Bulbasaur." said Ditto, sending out Vine Whip, cutting through Razor Leaf. "Bulbasaur."
"You've got to be kidding me." said Hayley as Ash and Misty gasps.
"Riolu." said Meeko.
"It can imitate attacks too?" asked Brock.
"All right. Ditto, restrain Bulbasaur." said Duplica.
"Ah!" groaned Bulbasaur.
"No!" shouted Ash.
"Have you had enough yet, Ashy-boy?" asked Duplica.
"Bulbasaur." said Ash, watching Bulbasaur struggle in the air.
"Oh!" said Bulbasaur.
"All right, I understand. I give up." said Ash.
"Ah!" shouted Bulbasaur as it was dropped to the ground and Ditto returned to its original form.
"Ditto."
"Ah." said Misty, Hayley and Brock, staring at Ditto in awe.
"But how...how could the real thing lose?" Ash asked himself.
