Warning: This chapter and the next are mostly filler chapters that only serve to squeeze in a couple of sub-standard fights with Pokémon not shown off in Kanto. I will try my hardest to upload both chapters tonight so you only have to suffer for one additional night, instead of the rest of the week. You may now thank me.

A few hours later, (second chapter in a row with the same intro! Yay for repetition!) Chikorita finished teaching Sudowoodo his studies, and the Politoed woke up. The thing nobody suspects is that I injected a truth serum I swiped from Chikorita when she (and anyone else) wasn't looking. Now, when Togepi and Croconaw asked him about his past, he won't have any choice but to tell the truth. (That's rather sleazy of you, Pikachu. Wait, how exactly did you inject the serum into Politoed? Oh ARCEUS why do I keep doing this to myself! DX)

But for some time, I've had the feeling that my friends and I were being watched. I searched the area, but it seems that whatever was watching us had moved. Thinking that nothing was wrong was a mistake, as I quickly learned.

I soon heard a few rustles in the bushes near the camp, only to find it was another Pikachu, but with the same facial features that I had! (DUDE, ALL MALE PIKACHU LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME! Sure, there was Ritchie's Pikachu Sparky that had a tuft of hair on his forehead, but that's the anime; this is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon! COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CONTINUITY!)

"Well, there's something you don't see every day." I said to myself.

"Well, there's something you don't see every day." the other Pikachu said, but in my exact voice! (Oh I can tell this is going to get annoying.)

"Are you mocking me?" I asked the other Pikachu.

"Are you mocking me?" it asked. (I was right.)

"Okay, this is getting annoying!" we both said in unison (at least it was better than being mocked by a mysterious double). (Both of you just SHUT UP!)

"Pikachu, what are you doing?" I heard Togepi shout.

"Um, you guys might want to come see this!" I shouted.

"Don't say anything, or I'll wipe everyone out." the other Pikachu muttered, rather coldly. (Uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Wut?)

The others arrived at the scene, and were confused to see two of me, which I'm pretty sure Chikorita and Togepi were thinking 'Now how do we decide who gets who?'

"Am I seeing double?" Cyndaquil asked.

"No, this is a completely different me!" I tried to explain, but the other Pikachu shouted it as well. (At least Past!Me didn't re-type it.)

"Okay, this is just plain confusing! Which one is the real Pikachu?" Croconaw asked.

"I am!" the other Pikachu and I shouted in unison. (Okay, this is just annoying all round now.)

"Well you can't both be Pikachu; one of you has to be the real Pikachu I know." said Togepi.

"Okay then, why don't you investigate the situation, Togepi," Chikorita suggested. "Go see which one of these Pikachus is the real one." (Derogative term for a female dog.)

"Okay, I will." Togepi said as she walked right in front of us.

"Okay, the real Pikachu would know all about the good times we had with Team Elite. So I'll ask a few questions that only the real Pikachu would know about." she said while getting out a small clipboard and pen.

Where did she get the clipboard? I thought. (I was about to say that! Now I know me and Pikachu are in sync!)

"Okay, Question #1: Who had a crush on Girafarig?" Togepi asked.

"Charizard!" we both answered in unison, which surprised both me and Togepi.

"Correct. This may be harder than I thought," Togepi said to herself. "Question #2: Who were Mewtwo's henchmen?"

I struggled to remember the names of Mewtwo's former henchmen, then a thought hit me, and I remembered it in a flash.

"They were Dragonite, the Head Beedrill, Magmar, Nidoking, Aerodactyl, and Tentacruel." I answered quickly, and to my surprise, the other Pikachu knew it too. (I'm so glad I don't have to re-type all of this.)

"Correct," Togepi said. "Who did Mewtwo want to destroy so he could rule the Pokémon World?"

"It was Mew." We said in unison. (That one was really obvious.)

"Okay, this is starting to get annoying." Chikorita pointed out, but then I noticed another problem: there were two Chikoritas! (NO! I already have to deal with one wasted character! I don't need a double!)

"Uh, which one is the real Chikorita?" Cyndaquil asked.

"We should just give up the charade, already." the other Pikachu said, who started to glow, and re-shape itself into a little purple blob.

"It's a Ditto!" I shouted.

"A what?" Croconaw asked me.

"A Ditto. In Kanto, these guys are famous for causing trouble by transforming into whatever they see." I explained.

"Noctowl hired us to try and confuse you into thinking we were the real you." the Ditto said.

"Us?" Cynndaquil asked. "What do you mean 'Us'?" (Isn't it obvious! These people are IDIOTS!)

"That other Chikorita is my sister." said the Ditto. Then the other Chikorita transformed into a lighter-colored, somewhat more feminine Ditto. (Hey, I thought Ditto were genderless! PLOT HOLE!)

"We were supposed to get you to destroy each other until there was one left, then we'd team up and get rid of whomever was left." said Pink Ditto. (That...sounds oddly efficient. Why don't shape-shifting characters use this tactic more often?)

"Wait, Noctowl hired you?" I asked. Noctowl and his goons must have known we were coming.

"Yes, but now I think we should finish the job. Don't you agree, brother?" Pink Ditto asked.

"Yes, sister." Purple Ditto answered.

The two Ditto both transformed into Croconaw (I guess to them, he seemed stronger than all of us, considering he was the only one who's evolved). They both shot a Hydro-Pump at us (particularly Cyndaquil). Purple Ditto Croconaw attacked Croconaw, Cyndaquil, and Heracross, while Pink Ditto Croconaw attacked Togepi, Chikorita, Sudowoodo, and me. (To tell you the truth, on paper it would seem like our heroes would be screwed. Just wait for it.)

I shot Thunderbolt after Thunderbolt at Pink Ditto Croconaw, but somehow, she was able do dodge every one of them. This made me a little angry, but then I remembered Chikorita could fight Water-Pokémon with ease. (SO CAN YOU! IN FACT, ELECTRIC-TYPE POKEMON ARE JUST SLIGHTLY MORE EFFICIANT IN DOING THE JOB, CONSIDERING IT HAS BETTER POKEMON OF THE TYPE, WITH OVERALL BETTER MOVES! YEESH!)

"Chikorita, I need you to attack Pink Ditto Croconaw with your Grass-Type attacks." I told Chikorita.

"But she's too powerful to stop! Besides, I'm a medic, not a fighter!" Chikorita shouted.

"Chikorita, as a member of Team Elite, I outrank you. Now attack Pink Ditto Croconaw; that's an order!" I shouted. (You tell that derogative term for a female dog! (You can tell I'm trying hard not to say what you all want me to say.))

"Fine, I'll do it." she said, rather coldly.

Chikorita sent a few Razor Leaves toward Pink Ditto Croconaw. The attack hit her with a super effective blow. Pink Ditto Croconaw made the mistake of looking at Chikorita, and turned back into her. This gave me the chance to hit her with Quick Attack and match her speed with mine. (YOU'RE! FASTER! THAN! A! NORMAL! CHIKORITA! A Ditto can't make it any faster! Ugh!) The attack finally hit her with intense damage. Unfortunately, that's when Pink Ditto Chikorita transformed into the female version of me.

"Oh snap." I muttered.

"What? I'm just a Pikachu. What's so bad about that?" Pink Ditto Pikachu asked me.

"What's so bad is that I'm the strongest Pokémon in this group." I said without thinking (again). (I take that back; Pikachu and I aren't in sync after all.)

Pink Ditto Pikachu then had an evil grin on her face. "Interesting to know." she said before she sent a lethal Thunder at me, instantly knocking me out.

I just realized now that the questionnaire just spoiled a majority of the plot for "The Wrath of Mewtwo". DANG IT!

Remember to review, and I'll see you guys later.
