'Ditto?' Chris's pokemon said, confused. Chris and Victor were unable to speak. The pokemon that had appeared to be an unkown species, had now completely transformed into a Ditto!
'It was a Ditto all along?' Chris asked. Victor shook his head.
'There's no way it could have stayed in another form for that long,' he told Chris. 'That pokemon is not a Ditto. I'm sure of it.'
Victor took out his pokedex and pointed it towards the pokemon. The screen of the pokedex glitched up.
'Pokemon can not be identified,' it read.
'See?' said Victor. 'If that was a Ditto, the pokedex would be able to tell. The pokedex can tell that just because it looks like a Ditto, it's not one.'
Chris nodded. 'I see. But if it's not a Ditto... then what is it?'
Chris and Victor looked back to the pokemon.... and discovered that it had disappeared again.
'What are we going to do?' Chris asked. 'This pokemon is weird. I really can't understand it.'
'We'll try again with Ditto,' said Victor. 'I know it seems hopeless, but it's got to work eventually.'
Chriss nodded. He called his Ditto back and the two researchers headed back to the lab.
