Okay, so I saw the first episode of Pokemon Sun and Moon. I'm not happy they changed Ash's appearance and would have liked it if they kept him looking the same way they made him look like in Pokemon XY, I don't know. I might keep watching it but we'll see.
After the events with the Biker Gang our heroes continue their journey and end up at a strange place that may be more interesting than they think.
"Seriously? Those are all pokemon you have?" Ritchie asked.
Zack nodded, "Yeah, I have a lot of pokemon with me right now actually. There's Jynx, Electivire, Magmortar, Gardevoir, Swampert…the list goes on actually, but those some of the pokemon I have on me."
"Pretty cool." Ritchie complimented.
"Pika (It is)." Sparky nodded.
Ash was looking at Molly and Tomo, "What's the matter you two? You seem tense about something."
Molly was looking up at the sky, "The sky looks weird."
"I think so too." Tomo agreed.
Misty and Brock looked up and saw some clouds were gathering, "Now that you mention it, the sky was clear not too long ago. But look at it now."
"Its almost as if its going to rain down on us." Misty commented. As soon as she said that it began to pour down on them making them run for it to find shelter.
"Geez, where the heck did all this rain come from anyway?" Ritchie complained.
"Who knows, lets hope we can find some shelter before it gets worse!" Ash said.
Zack saw something ahead of them, "Guys look!"
Looking in the direction he was pointing to, they saw it was an old looking house in the middle of nowhere.
"That'll have to do, let's go!" Brock said.
They all went inside the house shaking the water off of them, Ash then noticed something, "Hey guys, where's Pikachu and Sparky?"
Looking around they did notice that the two electric types were no where in sight until Molly spotted something, "Big brother look!" looking to where she was pointing at they saw another Pikachu conversing with Pikachu and Sparky, but it looked different somehow.
Ash tiles his head in confusion, "Is that a new species of Pikachu?"
Brock was thinking about it, "I'm not sure, but it might be."
They heard someone giggle, "Your not the first to think that actually." The weird looking Pikachu went over by the girl standing next to her and transforming into a pink blob with a smiling face. The girl had green hair that was two ponytails, red shirt, and purple pants.
The girl smiled at them, "My names Duplica, and I welcome you to the Ditto Mansion."
Ash snapped his fingers, "Ditto!"
Ritchie looked at him, "What is it?"
"Prof. Oak told me about Ditto once! Even brought one to the lab one time." Ash said.
Zack looked over at him, "So their rare pokemon?"
"I wouldn't say that but they are used for breeding with other pokemon." Ash said.
"They are?!" Misty exclaimed.
Ritchie scanned the pokemon:
[Ditto, a Transform Pokémon. It is able to rearrange the cells of its body and assume any form. Its only attack is Transform.]
Ritchie looked disappointed, "If it only knows transform then its not that strong."
Duplica smirked, "You think so do you?"
"Well yeah it only knows transform." Ritchie said.
"Then how about this? You and me will have a battle and see if my Ditto is strong or not." Duplica told him.
"Your on! Ash be the referee!" Ritchie grinned.
Ash sweat-dropped, "Why me?"
But his question was ignored when both Ritchie and the girl got into position making Ash, "This will be a one on one battle between Duplica and Ritchie! Each trainer will use only one pokemon to battle with! Are both trainers ready?"
Ritchie nodded as did Duplica.
"Let the battle begin!"
Ritchie went first, "Sparky use Thunderbolt!"
Sparky sent a thunderbolt at Ditto.
"Dodge it!" Duplica ordered.
"Now use Vine Whip!"
Ditto shot out vine whips at Sparky smacking it hard in the face before grabbing onto it and slamming Sparky to the ground knocking him out.
Ash raised his arm, "The battle is over! The winner is Ditto!"
Duplica smiled, "Still think Ditto's not strong enough?"
Misty was surprised, "That was amazing! It can use other pokemon's attacks?"
"I'd heard rumors about Ditto being able to do that but I've never actually seen it." Brock commented.
"That was still pretty cool thought." Zack said.
"Ditto's so cute!" Molly smiled.
"Its so cool!" Tomo complimented.
Duplica went over to Ash, "You seem to know about Ditto don't you?"
"Actually Prof. Oak knows all about them. I just sat through the lecture." Ash smiled.
"Lecture?" Ritchie said with Sparky back to consciousness and on his shoulder.
Ash nodded, "That's right." Duplica grabbed his arm dragging him towards a table.
"Tell me all about it!"
Ash looked back towards the others confused so they followed after him and Duplica.
Who's That Pokemon?
Its…Ditto
"Ditto!"
Duplica had Ditto on her lap eager to hear what Ash knows about Ditto. Ash explained that Prof. Oak had brought one in his lab one time and started to lecture about how Ditto may not look like much at first but the pokemon was used for all sorts of things like breeding for example.
"Wait, so you can breed using Ditto?" Ritchie questioned.
Ash nodded, "Prof. Oak told me that some breeders use Ditto to breed with other pokemon. Ditto can breed with any pokemon…even genderless pokemon."
"Genderless pokemon?" Misty questioned this time.
Ash nodded, "Legendary Pokemon are genderless, but Prof. Oak also said they can breed with Magnemite and other non organic pokemon too."
"I didn't know that legendary pokemon were considered genderless." Misty said.
"Me either." Ritchie agreed.
Ash looked at Duplica, "But still, it was really amazing how Ditto used vine whip like that. It was really good."
Ditto smiled at the compliment.
"Thanks Ash, that means a lot to me." Duplica smiled, "To be honest with you I want to become a Ditto Master, but I can't because when Ditto transforms into other pokemon its face doesn't change. And the audiences don't like it very much."
Ditto looked down.
Duplica gave Ash a desperate look, "Did Prof. Oak's Ditto do a complete transformation?"
Ash smiled nervously, "It did, in fact it transformed into Prof. Oak."
Ritchie snickered, "Seriously?"
Ash nodded, "After that, Ditto went around town pretending to be Prof. Oak but failed when it started licking people making him embarrassed."
They all laughed imagining the look on the old mans face when Ditto did that.
"So it did work! Will you tell me how he did it?" Duplica asked.
Ditto nodded in agreement.
"Prof. Oak showed it lots of images from people to pokemon until it eventually got it right," Ash recalled, "So try having Ditto transform into a person first then try a pokemon."
Duplica nodded eagerly, "What should I ask it t transform into?"
"Well…try asking it to transform into you?" Brock suggested.
"That's a great idea! If Ditto transforms into Duplica then maybe it can get the hang of transforming into something else without a problem." Misty smiled.
Duplica smiled, "I'll try it! Ditto transform into me!"
Ditto got off her lap and transformed into her…but the face still didn't change much to their disappointment.
"I didn't work." Molly said sadly.
"Ursa (Your right)." Teddiursa agreed.
"Give it one more go Ditto." Tomo encouraged.
Ditto still transformed into Duplica transformed into Tomo this time and one of its eyes looked like Tomo's.
"Oh! Its eye!" Zack observed.
Brock smiled, "That's a start."
"Try Pikachu again." Ash said.
Ditto transformed into Pikachu again this time and the face was almost half way there.
"Almost there Ditto, you can do it!" Duplica encouraged.
Ditto tried one more time and transformed into Duplica again only this time…Ditto finally got it.
"You did it!" Molly and Tomo cheered.
"Nicely done." Brock complimented.
Duplica hugged Ditto that was still transformed into her, "I'm so proud of you Ditto! I knew you could do it!"
Ditto hugged its trainer back with a smile.
"You see? Ditto responded to your feelings and finally got it." Ash told her.
Duplica hugged Ash and smiled, "Thanks Ash!" she kissed him on the cheek taking him by surprise.
"Again?!" Ritchie and Misty exclaimed.
Brock was crying tears of jealousy while Zack looked confused.
Molly got in front of her brother, "No! Big brother is not allowed to find a mate until we say so right Teddiursa, Tomo?"
Teddiursa nodded, "Ursa (That's right)!"
"I'm sorry, you're a nice person but big brother can't date until we say so." Tomo told her.
"Tomo you too?!" Ash exclaimed blushing in embarrassment as Duplica giggled.
Duplica and Ditto did a performance for the audience now that Ditto could transform without any problems she could use her friend in her performances again, and the audiences were loving it themselves. Ash and the others were sitting in the front row as Ditto transformed into a cannon of all things making them clap loudly. All in all, it was the best performance ever.
Duplica was outside seeing them off, "I can't thank you enough for your help."
"Thanks but I didn't really do anything. It was all you." Ash smiled.
"Yeah."
"We better get going now, hope you become a Ditto Master." Ritchie smiled.
"I will!"
They all walked away waving goodbye to their friend wishing her luck on becoming a Ditto Master in the near future.
With Ditto now able to transform perfectly our heroes continue their journey. Stay tuned as the journey continues.
Having left their friend Duplica and Ditto our heroes are now on their way to the Pokemon Center to have both Pikachu and Sparky checked out by Nurse Joy. What happened?
Matcha City
Ash and Ritchie were running ahead of everyone else. There was something wrong with Pikachu and Sparky. The others were running right behind them too, Pikachu and Sparky just felt tired all of a sudden, so Brock brought out a map and pointed them to the nearest Pokemon Center.
When they finally made it there they saw a distressed Nurse Joy who was trying to get the pokemon transporter to work but with no luck at all.
The man next to her sighed, "I just can't figure out what's wrong with it."
Nurse Joy still looked distressed, "Are you sure you can't figure it out Dr. Akihabara?"
He shook his head, "I'm afraid not."
"It could be a virus." Brock suggested.
He shook his head, "No possible. I programed the system so well that a virus couldn't possibly be the problem."
"Not everything is made perfect," Ash stated, "Prof. Oak taught me that."
"Maybe its sick." Molly suggested.
"If its sick we should make it feel better." Tomo said.
Nurse Joy thought about something, "I have heard about an Anti-Virus that should be able to fix the system."
Akihabara was too busy examining the system further to contribute to the conversation and something caught him off guard making him gasp and run out the door much to their confusion.
"What's with him?" Ritchie wondered.
Zack shrugged, "Who knows?"
Nurse Joy gave them a concerned look, "Could you all go check on him for me?"
They nodded and headed out to see what he was up to.
Who's That Pokemon?
Its…Porygon!
"Porygon!"
"Here's his place but what do we do now?" Ritchie wondered.
The door opened startling them, "Guess he wants us to come inside." Ash said. Walking inside the house a giant hologram of Akihabara's head appeared making Misty and Ritchie scream.
"My apologies, it was not my intention to startle you." The hologram apologized.
"Oh really?" Ritchie and Misty said not believing him for a second.
"Please follow me to the lab if you will." The hologram said moving ahead of them giving the group no other choice but to follow.
The hologram brought to a door before it disappeared. Akihabara opened the door greeting them, "Please come inside." Walking inside they saw a very interesting pokemon.
Ash blinked then whipped his eyes a few times, "Is that a…Porygon?"
"Oh you know of it?" the man asked.
"Thanks to Prof. Oak. It really does look like something that could come from the internet." Ash observed the pokemon.
Ritchie scanned it:
[A Pokémon that consists entirely of programming code. Capable of moving freely in cyberspace.]
"So its not an organic life form, but something made up of numbers?" Zack guessed.
"Yes you are correct," Akihabara smiled, "It is the very first pokemon made completely of a number code."
"Porygon (Hello)." Porygon greeted.
"Oh it talks!" Molly said.
"Ursa (Cool)." Teddiursa said.
"It looks kinda cool." Tomo complimented.
Ash looked around, "Where are we anyway?"
"We my boy are inside the machine, and by machine I mean the giant Human Transporter." He explained, "The reason I led you all in here is because some thieves wearing strange uniforms have stolen my prototype Porygon are causing nothing but problems."
Ash looked at Brock, "Thieves wearing strange uniforms."
"It can only be Team Rocket." Brock frowned.
"Don't worry we'll take care of them no problem!" Ritchie promised.
The man gave a smile of relief, "Thank you, I'll be watching form outside the machine if anything happens I'll let you know."
"Got it." Ash nodded.
He turned to Porygon, "Make sure you take good care of them okay?"
Porygon nodded.
"As soon as I step outside I'll be sending you into cyberspace because that's where they are. Good luck." He left the machine and about five minutes later they were all zapped into cyberspace just like he said, but what he didn't tell them was that they almost fell their deaths had it not been for Porygon who go them in time and let them ride on him.
"That was close." Ritchie breathed a sigh of relief.
"No kidding…I thought we were done for." Zack agreed.
"Well at least Porygon caught us in time." Misty smiled.
"Yeah we got lucky." Brock agreed.
Ash was on the head with Molly and Tomo looking around to see if they could spot Team Rocket anywhere.
Tomo's eyes flashed red for a split second and pointed, "There big brother!"
Ash looked down, "Good eye Tomo! Pikachu use Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu sent thunderbolt attack right at unsuspecting Team Rocket sending them and the prototype Porygon blasting off. Porygon landed on the ground allowing them to get off its back.
"Were we suppose to get the prototype Porygon back?" Ritchie asked.
"He didn't mention it, so I guess not." Zack shrugged.
"There's all the pokeballs for the trainers!" Brock spotted them.
They heard a noise and a mans voice was heard, "Can you all hear me?!"
"Yeah, we hear you just fine!" Ash replied.
"Listen I don't have time to explain, but you need to get out of there right now! Nurse Joy called in another tech and put in an Ant-Virus to try and cure the system!"
"SAY WHAT?!" Misty, Ritchie, and Zack exclaimed.
"I can't stop it on my end I'm afraid! You need to hurry and get out there as fast as you can!"
Porygon grabbed Ash and his friends and immediately left the area as the anti-virus just took affect. They spotted Team Rocket and were having a vote on whether to leave or save them, Ash sighed and said that they couldn't just leave them here to die so it was decided that they would tell them to escape with them much to the groups dismay. He was actually surprised Brock was for leaving them here instead of trying to save them.
With the Porygon prototype and Team Rocket following them towards the exit the anti-virus was right on their trail even transforming into a freaking spaceship! They barely dodged the attacks it sent at them and saw the exit was soon within their reach.
"We're almost there!" Ash told them.
The anti-virus was about to launch another attack at them but this time Sparky and Pikachu dealt with it causing a beautiful but hard to look at blue and red light to shine about (I can see how this caused some seizures! I actually found the episode and had to close my eyes!). After that they finally made it to the exit destroying half of Akihabara's lab in the process but at least they were alive.
"Thank goodness your all okay!" the man sighed with relief.
"We're alive." Ritchie and Misty sighed together.
"That we are." Zack commented.
Tomo looked around, "Where did team rocket go?"
"They probably ran off and escaped somewhere," Ash sighed, "We'll see them again…unfortunately."
They nodded in agreement.
"Well I' glad your all okay and as an apology for almost getting you killed I'd like to give Porygon to Ash." The man smiled.
"Eh? Why?" Ash said.
"Well Porygon seems to have taken quite a shine to you, and I think it needs to see other places instead of just being stuck here all day." He said.
Ash looked at the pokemon and smiled taking out a pokeball, "I get the feeling Prof. Oaks gonna freak out when he sees you." And with that he caught the pokemon and it was sent back to the ranch.
"By the way…I wonder if Team Rocket realizes that they left the Porygon prototype here and didn't take it with them. Its obvious they were trying to steal it." Zack wondered.
They all thought about and realized he was right.
Jessie was trying to rip her hair out, "HOW COULD WE FORGET TO TAKE PROYGON WITH US?!"
James and Meowth sighed.
"She's going to be like this for a while." James sighed.
"Yeah…"
