Kanto Saga

Chapter 33

Ditto and the Copycat Girl and a Snorlax

Last time, Ash and his friends rode along in the Cycling Road to get to Sunny Village at Route 16 to deliver some medicine to the Pokémon Center down at the Village, but suddenly they were stopped by the gang called 'The Sunny Village Riders' Ash and Haruka easily defeated them, with the Bulbasaur's newly learned Solar Beam against Golem and Haruka's counter on pearl inside of it's shell, some a storm comes by and they race to the end of the bridge with all of them jumping across the drawbridge, and after the Delivery went a success and everyone made it ok, Haruka, Michiru And Setsuna promises the gang to meet up at the Celadon City Pokémon Center for the upcoming Princess Festival as Ash promises them to give the girls the best time of their lives as our heroes continue onto Route 16.


As our heroes continue their journey, they soon leave Sunny Village and onto Route 16 and on their way back to Celadon City to meet up with Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna and attend the Princess Festival, the picture looks very sunny and bright. Until suddenly, the skies began to cloud up as it is getting ready to pour on our heroes as Pikachu soon feels a raindrop on his head, Ami got out her umbrella as she always came prepared same goes for Usagi, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Erika and Naru, the only one that didn't have an umbrella is Ash.

"Pika?"

"What's up, Pikachu?" Ash asked then he looked up and the skies being clouded up "There's a storm coming, we gotta find shelter quick!"

"Right!" The girls agreed

"Talk about bad timing!" Makoto groaned

"Good thing we brought our umbrellas." Usagi said as she opened her's and raised it above her head.

"Ash, don't you have an umbrella?" Ami asked

"Unfortunately no." Ash sighed

The girls sighed at the boy in the embarrassment, as he forgot to bring one before he left Pallet Town and Pikachu is guilty of the same thing. Luckily, Ami offered to share one with him.

"Here, Ashy." Ami smiled handing him her umbrella which he held above the them. "You can share mine with me, if you want."

"Thank you, Lovely Bookworm." Ash thanked

"Here, Togepi, you and I are going to share Rei's Umbrella with her." Chibiusa giggled as her Togepi cooed

Usagi then whined "Hey! Why can't Chibiusa share my umbrella?!"

"Cause she asked me first, Usagi." Rei answered snootingly "You snooze, you loose."

"Well, looks like Ami's gotcha covered, Ash." Makoto said "Come on, let's find some shelter."

"Right!" Minako agreed and then gave Ash a smirk because she saw that Ash got kissed by Tyra back at the Cycling bridge "I got something today when we get there and I'm going to blurt it out."

"Here we go." Ash said rolling his eyes

"Chu."

Then, the rain comes down harder and our heroes are trying to find shelter while staying dry under their umbrella, Ash and Ami are being the most dry and Rei and Chibiusa are sharing the Shrine Madien's umbrella, Makoto then spots something at the side of the road while keeping her and her Raichu warm.

"Hey, everyone!" Makoto called and points to the direction "Look! To the left of the road!"

They then turn to see an old mansion off the side of the road, Minako sees that it is abandoned and unusual seeing it in Route 16 when they just left Sunny Village, the blonde asked the brunette.

"What's that mansion doing here?" She asked

"I'm not sure why it's doing in the middle of Route 16, and I don't remember seeing that there on our Pokémon journey." She replied

"It looks a bit creepy…" The two blondes said

"Everyone, if we don't want to catch a cold or pneumonia, we have to seek shelter." Ami reminded

"Pichu!"

"Ami's right, there's no time to be scared!" Ash scolded

"Pikachu!"

Without hesitation, Ash, Pikachu and the girls all walked towards the Old mansion, for shelter. As soon as they arrive at the mansion, the outside is covered in spiderwebs and Usagi, Minako and Naru were creeped out, while Ami goes up and rings the doorbell and waits for an answer at the door, and when nobody did, she as well as Ash and Usagi called.

"Hello? Is anyone home?" Ami called

"Pichu!"

"We're seeking shelter to get out of the rain." Ash called as well.

"Pikachu!"

"We don't want to be soaking wet!" Usagi called as well.

But nobody answered then Usagi walked towards the door to see that it is left open. Minako then leaned her hand against the door and it opened and she fell flat of her back causing her to Yelp in pain, the gang entered the building to see that there's no one there, but Ash called.

"Hello, is anyone home?" Ash called

"Pikachu!"

"Anyone here?" Minako also called

"Guys, we shouldn't be barging in like this!" Ami scolded

"Pichu!"

But the gang didn't listen to the Bluenette, they kept walking further with a reluctant Ami following them, and they see a stage and on the top of the stage there is a sign that says "Imitehouse" Makoto analyzed the place more.

"This place looks like some sort of theater." Makoto murmured "Complete with a stage."

"Your right, Mako." Usagi agreed "This is what I call 'showbiz'!"

"Anyway, let's rest here until the rain stops." Aah suggested

Everyone agreed and Minako steps in with a smile on her face. Because her dream is to be a star and a famous one and she loves singing and Ash loved here's and Ami's singing back at Celadon City when he went on his first date with her and Ami.

"Great Idea, Ashy." Minako smiled "That way, I can practice my singing so I can become a teen idol!" And then gives a smirk "Or I can blurt something out cause of Ash getting kissed.."

"Don't, you, dare." Ash warned

"Chu….."

"Minako, I really don't think we should make Ashy angry." Ami smoothed

"Why are girls so into me?" He thought

"Pikachu!"

They turned to the Yellow mouse Pokémon and they see another Pikachu, The other Pikachu copies everything that Ash's Pikachu does and they walked up to them and Usagi and Minako are happy to see it.

"Th-There's another Pikachu!" Ash gasped

"It's so cute!" Ami smiled

"I know, it's super cute too!" Usagi giggled

"I want to catch one!" Minako squealed as she went over to the other Pikachu picks it up "Aren't you just the cutest widdle…."

The Blonde's happiness soon turns to surprise and shock when she sees the Pikachu's face is different from Ash's Pikachu and she drops it in fear and turned to the young man who walked up to her.

"Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What's with this thing?!" Minako panicked "This Pikachu is all wrong!!"

"What's all the commotion, Mina?" Ash asked

Before Minako could answer Artemis stepped in "There's something wrong with the Pikachu. His face isn't normal." The white cat said as they look sees what he means "By the looks of it it's no ordinary Pikachu, it might be separated from its…"

"New species or weird face or not, I'll just have to capture it!" Minako said and got her Eevee's PokéBall "Go Eevee and use Swift!"

She tosses her PokéBall, and her Eevee materializes from her PokéBall and the Normal Type Pokémon show stars out of from her fur and the attack lands on the Pikachu, and one it lands, Minako gets out her empty PokéBall and gets ready to toss it.

"Alright, that's the way!" Minako cheered "Go, Pokéball!"

The blonde tosses her empty PokéBall at the Pikachu, until Suddenly, another Pokéball knocks Ash's Pokéball out of the air, to the surprise of our heroes then they turn to see someone dressed like Ash except with blue hair just like Ami's.

"Hey, Who's there?" Minako demanded

"Well, there's your culprit!" Ash spotted and pointed and then he gets confused "Am I seeing double?"

"Not unless we're all seeing double." Makoto said scratching her head

"Hey, Ashy, that girl's dressed just like you!" Naru said

"How could you tell, Naru?" Aah asked

"A Men's intuition." Naru answered

Before anyone can say anything, the girl stepped into the light to face our heroes and she introduced herself to them with a wink "My name is Duplica, from The House of Imite." She introduced "Tell me who you all are."

Then they introduced themselves to the Girl in disguise, starting with Ash. "I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town." He introduced "and this is Pikachu, and these are my friends."

"I'm Usagi Tsukino." The blonde said

"I-I'm A-Ami Mizuno." She introduced

"Pichu."

"I'm Rei Hino." The shrine Madien said

"I'm Makoto Kino." Makoto said

"Raichu."

"I'm Minako Aino." The blonde said

"I'm Naru Osaka." Introduced Naru

"I'm Erika, the Celadon City Gym leader." "Said the Nature princess

After they all introduced themselves to Duplica, the young man with black hair asked the disguised Blue haired girl a question.

"Is that why you look just like me?" He asked

"That's right." Duplica answered happily

"She really is a girl." Rei awed

"Hm… She'll be your type, Ashy." Minako smiled with a teasing look

"Watch it." Makoto warned

The Duplica walked over to her Pikachu "Aw. It still hasn't gotten over that old habit."

The Pikachu begins to glow and transforms into a pink blob-like Pokémon with vestigial facial features. It is often referred to as amorphous, but has a relatively consistent appearance in official artwork, including two small nubs on its "head", a few soft lumps at its base, and two pseudopod-like protrusions in place of arms. The face consists of beady eyes and a simple mouth; almost always pulled into a smile, and it was a to Naru's and Erika's surprise and shock, save for Usagi since she had one of her very own since the Safari Zone, and everyone else.

Ash then got out his PokéDex, opens it up and analyzed the Glob with it's radar and information comes up which it says: "Ditto, a Transform Pokémon. It is able to rearrange the cells of its body and assume any form. Its only attack is Transform."

Usagi walks up and pets the transform Pokémon on it's head as Ditto likes it a lot. "You're so Squishy, Squishy, Squishy and so cute too!"

"So that's how yours and Usagi's Ditto able to transform into anything, Huh?" Ash asked

"The only difference is, Duplica's Ditto's face looks the same." Rei pointed out "Isn't transform supposed to be a complete change?"

"Yeah…. I'm a bit worried about that." Duplica said sadly

"But can't any other Pokémon use the "Transform" move?" Ash asked

"Nope, it's a specialty move exclusive to Ditto." Duplica said

"It's face stayed the same. When it transforms, shouldn't it be able to change completely?" Makoto asked curiously and turned to Usagi "Hey, Usagi why don't you let Ditto play with your Ditto that you got from the Safari Zone?"

"Great idea!" Usagi said as she got out her Ditto's Safari Ball "Go, Ditto!"

She then tosses the Safari Ball up into the air and Ditto Materializes from the ball, Duplica's Ditto looks at Usagi's Ditto curiously and it seems to like it and they laugh and play as Pikachu and our heroes watched in awe.

"Usagi, your Ditto's just as cute as mine." She complimented "As for any other Pokémon that can use Transform without having to learn it from a TM, Ditto's one of a kind!"

"Actually rising a Pokémon is a different story from just copying, I It's only attack is to copy other Pokémon. That's all it does." Rei said

Then Usagi gives Rei the glaring smirk "That's a very harsh opinion."

"Hey, why don't we have a battle to see if my Ditto or any of your girls' Pokémon do against my Ditto?" Duplica asked

"Ok, Ashy will go first." Makoto offered pointing to him

"Well, if its a Battle you want then a battle you'll have, I guess." Ash sighed

"All right!" Duplica cheered "Then you'll understand Ditto's real power, Ashy boy."

Before anyone can react, they realize that Minako is not by the group, while the they're taking, the blonde got on the stage and the spotlight came on and she grabbed the microphone and then she called out to the gang.

"Laddies, Gentleman and Pokémon! Everyone of all ages! May I have your attention, please?" Minako said "Before Ash Ketchum battles with Duplica the copycat girl, I got something to say!"

"Minako?!" Chibiusa gasped "What are you doing up there?"

Ash realize that of what Minako was going to do as he gives her an annoying glare "Minako…" he growled

"Not long ago, The young man, named Ash Ketchum got kissed on the cheek by the sister of the Fuchsia City gym leader and her name is Aya, the green haired ninja!" Minako announced "and before we came here from Sunny Village from the Cycling bridge he also got kissed by the green haired biker who has got our reapect, that girl is Tyra the Biker girl!"

Everyone first Sweatdrops in embarrassment and they fell over in suprise because of Minako's stupidity, Ash was very annoyed and embarrassed of what she say as he screamed at the blonde for embarrassing him on stage.

"Minako, shut up!" Ash shouted

"Make me, lover boy!" Minako teased sticking her tongue at him and continues to kiss tease him

"CHU!!!"

Pikachu jumps up into the air and shoots lightning out of his cheeks at the blonde and she gets electrocuted by the angered Yellow mouse Pokémon as she screams in agony Raichu and Pichu electrocute the blonde as well.

"AAAAAHHHH!!!" She screamed "I was just kidding!! Please stop!!"

The electrocuted blonde with the red bow fell over on her back and is dizzy for being shocked by the electric type Pokémon, she then got back up and the immediately apologized to the young man as he calms down, and the he forgives her in the process.


Soon, after everyone got on the stage, the lights come on over the stage as both Ash and Duplica take their places on the stage for the battle. Ami agreed to referee the battle like she did in the S.T. Anne.

"This will be a one on one battle." Ami called "If both trainers are ready, let the battle begin!"

"I choose to use my Ditto, of course!" Duplica said

"Then I'll use Bulbasaur! I Choose You!" Ash called

Ash turns his hat and then throws Bulbasaur's PokéBall to the battlefield and the Seed Pokémon Materializes from it's PokéBall and is ready to face off against Duplica's Ditto.

She then turns her hat and called out the first command to her Glob Pokémon "Go, little Ditto! Transform!" She commanded

Within Command, Ditto started glowing and it transformed into a Bulbasaur, except it's face remained the same.

"It can't do anything but copy." Ash said "eather way Ditto is the ultimate Pokémon!"

"Here where the real fun begins." Duplica said while wagging her finger.

"I'm getting all fired up, Bulbasaur use razor leaf!" Ash commanded

Within the signal, Bulbasaur's Razor-sharp leaves come out from under Bulbasaur's bulb and fly at the glob Pokémon making Duplica's chance to counter it.

"Go, use vine whip!" Duplica commanded

Ditto as a Bulbasaur then let's it's Two dark green vines come out of the sides of Bulbasaur's bulb and Both attacks collide and the result is a stalemate, to the shock of the real seed Pokémon and the young man, Usagi knows what Duplica is doing to him.

"Wow, it's copying it's appearance yet it's using different attack." Usagi awed and gives Ash the giggle of trolling "Next time I battle Rei or Ashy I'm gonna do the same thing that Duplica is doing."

"Usagi, I believe Ditto to be the ultimate Pokémon." Ami smiled "Just as much as Ashy does."

"Ok Ditto Capture and restrain Bulbasaur!" She commaned

Ditto as Bulbasaur's Vines lunged for the Real deal and the Vine Whip wraps around Bulbasaur, preventing it from moving, to Ash's shock yet he refuses to give in, as he remembers Bulbasaur learned Solar Beam back in the Cycling Bridge.

"Have you had enough yet, Ashy boy?" She asked

"Oh, hell no!" Ash said "I got one more trick up my sleeve, Bulbasaur, use Solar Beam!"

The Bulb Seed Pokémon gathers energy from the lights and from it's bulb and it begins to light up, and the very bright light aimed for Ditto as Bulbasaur and shot a bright beam at it and it causes ditto to transform back into normal and fainted, leaving Duplica in shock on how did Bulbasaur learned that move. Ami refereed the battle to the Victor.

"Duplica's Ditto is unable to continue, Ash and Bulbasaur are the winners!" Ami called

"Yay!" Chibiusa cheered as her Togepi did as well

"Wow, Bulbasaur, you did amazing out there, good thing we had that Solar Beam in handy otherwise we'll be screwed." Ash congratulated until he sees Duplica feeling down and comforting her Ditto, his mood quickly changed as he couldn't help but feel bad.

"Ditto, are you ok?" She asked "You did a great job out there. I can't believe I lost to the real deal."

Ash got out a Super Potion and walked over to the Sad Girl and spoke. "Duplica, it's ok." He said handing her the Super Potion "Listen, everyone loses sometimes, and that is what can make us grow stronger as not just Pokémon Trainers, but People as well. I learned that from Mako and Rei. When they saw me down they knew to cheer me up. here use this Super Potion to heal up Ditto."

Duplica, when hearing the boy's words smiled and sprays the Potion onto her Ditto and it felt a lot better and the girl's glob Pokémon felt healthy and and well.

"Thank you, Ash." She smiled and thanked "Thanks to your words and kindness I'm ready to get better at battling as my Ditto and I come a long way. Let me show you to my costume room."

"You have a costume room?" Ash and the girls asked except for Ami.

"Every theater has a costume room backstage." Ami said "Duplica, outside of Ash who you dressed up as, what other outfits do you have? I'm sure that you can dress up as anyone."

"Follow me, and I'll show you." She replied

So everyone followed the copycat girl backstage to her dressing room while everyone had a look around the theater and are amazed that it's an u usual theater they ever went to. Usagi and Minako snickers at one another as who Duplica is going to dress up as next.


As it continues to rain outside and while waiting for the weather to clear up, Our Our heroes soon enter Duplica's costume room where it has dozens upon dozens of Costumes from Lupin the 3rd, to Pikachu, from Sailor Moon etc. everyone was amazed on the amount of outfits she has in the room.

"Wow, there's so many different types of clothes here." Usagi wowed "What are all these clothes for?"

Duplica runs into a rack of clothes dressed as Ash and comes out the other side dressed as Nurse Joy "Well then, I'll take care of them." She said then Duplica runs into the rack again and comes out dressed as Officer Jenny and spoke as Jenny "I'm having all of you under arrest for violation of traffic laws!"

Both Pikachu and Ditto enjoy seeing Duplica's costume and talent of mimicry as they jump of Happiness Ash and the girls clap for the girl, they enjoyed for her performance.

"Pika Pikachu!"

"Wow, you're just like them." Ami cheered

"You even had me fooled!" Ash said

"Great imitation!" Rei squealed while clapping

"But the only difference is the true Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy have more adult appeal to them." Minako said while scratching her head.

Everyone looks at the blonde embarrassingly and sweat drops as Duplica prepares to change into the next outfit, but which one?

"I can do pretty much every possible imitation with the clothes in here." Duplica said

Duplica runs into the rack again and comes out dressed as Sailor Moon with the two buns on her head and she does a Sailor Moon pose.

"In the name of the moon I'll punish you!" Duplica said

"Wow, that's really good." Usagi gasped and then smiled "I've got a super fan, I wanna try! I wanna try!"

"Well then go on ahead, Usagi." She offered

The odango blonde immediately excitingly rushed into the rack and comes out wearing Ash Ketchum's outfit and she does a pose as he caught a Pokémon. Ash blushed at the blonde as she does a wink.

"So, what do you think?" Usagi giggled

"Y-You look amazing…" Ash complimented

"Thank you very much, Ashy!" Usagi giggled as she threw her arms around him "Why don't you try to try on outfits?"

"Great Idea, Usagi!" Ash accepted

The young man walked over to the rack and gets out two variations of the Lupin the 3rd outfit. One with the green jacket with yellow tie, black shirt with navy blue pants and one with the red jacket with magenta tie, purple shirt and white pants and while Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Naru and Erika get ready to change some outfits, he asks the girls a question.

"Girls, I want your opinion do you think I look good in a green jacket or a red jacket cause I wore green last." Ash asked

"I think Red would suit you." Makoto said coming out wearing Fujiko Mine's black outfit

"Yeah, Red will definitely work, even though Green looks the best on you." Rei suggested coming out wearing Red's outfit

Ash then walked into the rack and gets out wearing a Red Jacket with magenta tie, purple shirt and white pants and the girls are amazed by his appearance, especially Ami and Usagi.

"Wow Ashy, you look so incredible!" Ami smiled while coming out wearing a light blue long sleeve shirt with a white miniskirt

"Aww thanks, girls." Ash thanked while blushing

"Pika Pika!"

"I'm even more impressed with how much knowledge Duplica has." Minako said while coming out wearing a Chinese dress

"I am too. Plus, you gotta admit, Duplica with her talents and Ditto with its Transform attack, make them the ultimate masters of disguise!" Naru said while coming out wearing Misty's outfit.

""Knowledge?" Ash asked while wearing a Tuxedo and a black cape with a black hat and a white mask.

"Think about it." Erika said while coming out wearing a wedding dress while a flashback to Ash's battle commits "How do you think Ditto could use Vine Whip over Razor Leaf back then? It's because Duplica knew about Bulbasaur's moves. She's a Trainer capable of ordering moves more powerful than those used by what Ditto transformed into."

"That's right! That means Duplica must know every attack and every Pokémon there is." Ami pointed out while coming out wearing A blue kimono "Also, if Bulbasaur didn't learn Solar Beam back at the Cycling Bridge, you would've lost. It's the only move that Ditto couldn't use due to it being new."

"Ashy, you look like Tuxedo Mask." Usagi giggled wearing a Chef's outfit "Which Reminds me, I wonder where Mamo went? Maybe he's far up ahead of us?"

"Maybe he's kicking that jerk face Gary's ass." Rei scoffed teasingly while coming out wearing a bright red Kimono. "Since he got a Machamp, Venusaur, a Donphan, a Scyther and a Gengar."

"You must have studied a lot, Duplica, to be able to battle in any situation like that." Ash complimented

"Aww, geez, You're making me blush." Duplica said while her cheeks flush pink just like Ami's cheeks

Makoto then comes out wearing her school uniform that Ash loved on her "like Ami suggested, you must know every known attack and every known Pokémon." She said

"Well, I don't really know EVERY Pokémon there is, since I've never seen a Pokémon like Pichu and Togepi until today." The copycat girl said

The little Pink odango walked over to the copycat girl "So your knowledge only goes as far as all of the Pokémon known and seen here in the Kanto region." She said as her Togepi coos.

"Pikachu."

"I see, it's no ordinary copycatting." Ash said "I guess I got another rival."

"A powerful rival may lost against Ash, bu thinking outside the box, but the war isn't over and she also aims to be a Pokémon master." Usagi said while coming out wearing a wonderful news caster outfit

"Wrong, I'm aiming to become the greatest Ditto master." She said

"A Ditto master?" Everyone asked

"Chu?"

"Long story short, the ultimate impersonation performer." She said


Then a flashback begins with Ditto and Duplica on stage before the building is packed with a large audience applauds and are cheering on the copycat girl and her pink Glob Pokémon.

"Thank you!" She thanked "Thank you! I'm the amazing Duplica and this is my assistant, Ditto!" The then gives the first command "Well then, let's get started on the Pokémon Transformations! Gloom!"

Duplica does the impression of the weed Pokémon, Gloom and the audience laughs then she proceeds to do an impression of a Metapod, a Psyduck, a Horsea, a Bulbasaur, and a Goldeen, as the Copycat girl voiced through the Flashback.

"You see, I love copying Pokémon." She said through the flashback "so I started up this copycat house I this area, there's only an open field in Route 16 next to Celadon City, right? I thought I could heal travelers off their fatigue from Journeying."

Then the blue haired copycat girl spoke in the flashback "Now it's time for my assistant, Ditto. Will the Machoke in the front please come up to the stage." She called

The SuperPower Pokémon, which is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon covered in gray skin. It has a vaguely reptilian face with a short snout, narrow red eyes, and four pointed teeth visible inside its mouth. Two of these teeth are in the upper jaw, while two are in the lower jaw. On top of its head are three brown ridges. Its arms are muscular with dark red, vertical stripes on them. The lower part of its body has black markings that resemble briefs. It is always seen wearing a black and gold power-save belt resembling a championship belt. It possesses large pectoral muscles that protrude slightly over its belt. It came up to the stage and the copycat girl calls for Ditto.

"Okay Ditto, Transform!" She commaned

The pink Glob Pokémon then nods, glows and transforms into a Machoke, but the face isn't exactly the same, causing the audience to laugh and mock the transformed Pokémon and Duplica as The Machoke walks off stage in shame.

"Ha ha! It's got that stupid face!" The kid laughed

"Losers!" The girl mocked "You suck!"

"That's so you can tell them apart." Duplica laughed embarrassingly

"Pathetic losers!" The boy said

One of the audience calls Duplica and Ditto a fake, causing Ditto to revert back to it's original form and crawls away backstage crying in shame, as the audience continues to laugh at the Glob Pokémon's and the copycat girl's misery, as she turned away crying.


The flashback ends with the gang we're back at the theater and changed back to their usual outfits before they got back, as Duplica and Ditto were standing on stage, then our heroes feel bad for the girl and her transformation Pokémon as the way got made fun of back then.

"In other words." Duplica said sadly when she jumped off the stage "People want to see a perfect transformation from Ditto and nothing else. This little one's trying its best to master transform, but it can't break its habit."

"I guess being a Ditto trainer's tough." Usagi sighed sadly "I'm sorry that I made fun of it back there when it's a Pikachu."

"All young Ditto try to master Transform, and a similar problem comes around." Ash said "Sooner or later, Ditto will master Transformation."

"I almost see your golden sword with you, Ashy boy." Duplica said looking at the blade "How did you get it?"

Before he could show her the sword, Ash, Rei and Makoto then sensed something that's coming backstage.

"Pika!"

"I sense an evil aura!" Ash said

"It's coming from backstage!" Rei cried

"Damn it! Not these three bastards again!" Makoto snapped while sensing the three familiar auras "Why can't they leave us alone, they haven't beaten us before and they never will."

Suddenly, the lights go out and the spotlights pan around the curtains, to our heroes' shock surprise, as Team Rocket rises from under the stage as the criminals began their usual motto which our heroes find annoying quick.

"Who are you three?" Duplica demanded

"We heard your conversation." Meowth said "That was a touching story."

"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie began

"Make it double!" Said James

"To protect the world from devastation."

"To unite all peoples within our nation."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above."

"Jessie."

"James."

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight!"

"Meowth! That's right!" Meowth finished "Let's give em a hand!"

"Yeah, Yeah, the work you put in despite the heavy rain is greatly appreciated." Ash slowly clapped not being amused "If your getting my sword and my Pikachu, your mistaken."

"Okay, show's over. Time to go back home." Makoto also slowly clapped "Don't think about stealing my Raichu or I'll beat you to a pulp."

"Shut up, brat and tall brat!" Jessie shouted "You are both lucky that we don't have any business with Pikachu, Raichu and your Sword anyway!"

"We came here for the Ditto!" James said

Mewoth then leaps and grabs Ditto and makes a run for it, while Duplica tries to stop the cat Pokémon.

"What are you all doing?!" The copycat girl shouted

"Weezing, I'll leave this to you!" James called

James throws the PokéBall and Weezing materializes and spreads a Smokescreen in order for Team Rocket to make their getaway. When the Smokescreen clears due to Ash sending his Pidgeotto to use whirlwind to clear it up, Ditto is gone Duplica then panics.

"Oh no! My Ditto is gone!" Duplica cried

"Those Damn filthy bastards!" Rei cursed

"Just what are those Team Rocket bastards up to?" Ash growled "Damn them!"


Elsewhere in Route 16 where the weather is now cleared up, Team Rocket has hidden in their hideout, easily identified with their Meowth hot air balloon, as Jessie and James chuckle in triumph and Meowth is just as overjoyed as his friends. And they can think of all of the fun things they'll do with the pink Glob Pokémon. As Ditto looks sad and scared.

"Cute little Ditto, our little Ditto. Why didn't we think of this before? Now, we're unstoppable!" Jessie squealed

"With this, we can bid farewell to our mom life as worthless loser constantly get beaten up." James said

"It was a long, painful journey." Meowth frowned

Jessie then leaned over to the Glob Pokémon "That said, we have a favor to ask if you, Ditto." Jessie said as she then shows Ditto a book with a picture of a Dratini and points to the picture "We want you to turn to this Won't you please? Please? Pretty please?"

"If you turned into the legendary Dratini, we got hurt trying to get a while back, and the brat got one too." James said and he imagines holding a Dratini on his arms "We could present it to the boss with no problems."

Team Rocket then plays out a scenario of them handing Dratini over to Giovanni with James holding a sign with Dratini on it with Jessie petting Meowth who is blushing over this, Jessie then acts sinister as she can be.

"Boss, we have finally captured the Legendary Dratini." James said offering the Pokémon to her

"Yes, we'll done, James." Jessie said Giovanni's voice "as soon as my wife is done with her duties we shall reward you both with healthy cash. Before long, I shall offer you the position of Team Rocket's boss."

"Sir I humbly thank thee." James said

As the the scenario ends he then asks Ditto to do the deed "That said, could you turn into Dratini right away?"

"No, No, No. hold on." Jessie halted and the smiled as her cheeks turn very bright red "Seeing as we have a Ditto here, why don't we have a little fun and play with it a bit more before handing it over to the boss?"

Then she gets out a picture of a handsome man out of her pocket and shows it to Ditto and smiled "Ditto, what would the person in this picture look like if her were an adult? Transform and show me." She asked while her face is flushing Red and her eyes glittered

"Who's picture is that?" James asked and smiled and reached out for the picture "Show it to me."

"No, a madien's secret is a private Se-cuh-ret." Jessie refused

Unfortunately she held the picture too low as Meowth takes a look at it and he was suprised and begins to make fun of Jessie.

"Ah! It's a boy!" Mewoth teased "Jessie has a boyfriend!"

"Oh, Jessie's hot and love is bitten?" James teased

"He was my first love." Jessie smiled and dreamed "Do it, Do it, all right?"

Ditto smiles, nods and transforms into the boy in the picture that has blue hair with a soccer ball, but its face problem kicks in, causing Jessie to look in surprise while James and Meowth bursted in a laughing fit.

"Your first love has grown into quite a flimsy guy!" He laughed

"What a riot!" Meowth laughed "Especially if you're interested in Ditto!"

Jessie gave the two an angry glare, she then cracks her knuckles and she beats up James and Meowth for their mocking laughter. Then Meowth gets a picture of a familiar female picture in a bikini as he prepares to have a turn.

"You two is so noisy." She glared "Is that your idea of a transformation?! Don't you think you've licked me just yet!"

Meowth jumped onto Jessie's head and shows the Ditto a picture of Rei Hino and Makoto Kino in bikinis. "I want a turn, Ditto see if you can transform into this girl." He said while pointing at Makoto "I just want to lay on her very big incredibly soft boobies! I'm just jealous that the brat gets to lay on them most of the time!"

Jessie and James were shocked as how he'd got that picture, Mabye he took it while she is at a beauty contest or something.

"Where did you get that, Meowth?!" Jessie demanded

"You're not the only one who want a to lay on her boobies!" James smiled

Ditto smiled, nods, glows and transforms into the copy of Makoto Kino in her green bikini, however the face problem kicks in, Meowth was suprised while Jessie and James burst into fit of laugher at the feline Pokémon, giving him a taste of his own medicine. But he was just half impressed.

"The face Maybe not right, but at least I'm in heaven!" Meowth smiled

He then leaps onto the transformed girl's very big breasts and lakes down on them like a pillow and rubs them very gently as he blushed a very bright pink, Jessie was livid with rage and the Pokémon got smacked around by Jessie once more, knocking him out on the floor as she glared at the Pokémon.

"You perverted Pokémon!" Jessie shouted "Get your mind out of the gutters and focus on our mission!" She then shows the picture of Dratini again "Now do as I say and Transform into this!"

Ditto gulped and transformed from the girl, into the book with no pictures and not a Dratini. which caused Team Rocket to fall over in disbelief.

"Is this plan really going to work?" James groaned

Jessie was clearly fed up with Ditto's nonsense and she gave it a terrifying angry glare "How dare you insult us like this!? This time transform for us perfectly, if you don't you'll never go back home again and I'll transform you into jelly!"

Ditto was now clearly terrified of the girl's fury and it missed Duplica so much and wants to go back to her and Gulped and it sweated out of fear.


Meanwhile, at the Mansion of Imite, our heroes are trying to cheer up Duplica as Ash sends out Pidgeotto and Shiny Charizard to go and find Ditto with Ami's Pidgeotto, Minako's Shiny Beedrill, Naru's Pidgeotto and Rei's Scyther following him.

"It's alright, Duplica." Ash smoothed "We'll definitely save Ditto. I sent Pidgeotto and Charizard to find him."

"Me and Naru's Pidgeottos are out scouting as well." Ami said and smiled"There you go, Cheer up, Ok?"

"Thanks, you guys." Duplica nodded

"Hey, Mako. What's on your mind?" Ash Asked Yeah. You've been really quiet."

The busty brunette with rose earrings then spoke "Well, it's just Ditto's Transform. You can't forget how important the trainer's ability is, too." She said

"You know, Mako's right." Usagi said "The one thinking of which moves to use isn't Ditto, but the trainer, right? Which means that raising a Ditto is directly connected to one's own growth…"

Ash then smiled "if you raise a Ditto, its progress and power are connected directly to your own." He said

"Sounds like you've been studying, Ash." Rei said while being impressed

"Well, I study with Ami most of the time." Ash said while Sweatdrop

"Aww, Ashy." Ami giggled while blushing "You're so kind."

Then, The three Pidgeottos, the Beedrill and Scyther flew in to deliver the news on Ditto while Charizard sticks his head into the window due to him not fitting through the window as he hears the gang.

"Pika Pikachu Pika!"

"Rai Raichu!"

"Pi Pichu!"

"Pikachu, did they find them?" Ash asked

"Pika!"

"Excellent work, sky troopers!" Rei congratulated "Let's go save Ditto!"

"Wait! I think I have an idea!" Duplica said

"If it has to deal with your wardrobe and your talent as a master of disguise, let's hear it." Ash said

"Ok, guys wait here. We gotta change into our secret outfits." Usagi said

Chibiusa leaves Togepi with Pikachu, Raichu and Pichu to watch over, while Usagi, Ami, Chibiusa Rei, Makoto and Minako went into the other room to transform.

"Girls, transform!" Luna said

"Let's rescue us a Pokémon!" Artemis said

Then the girls all nodded and held up their transformation wands and Usagi and Chibiusa held up their brooches and all of them called out their transformation phrases.

"Moon Cosmic Power!"

"Moon Prism Power!"

"Mercury Star Power!"

"Mars Planet Power!"

"Jupiter Planet Power!"

"Venus Star Power!"

"Make Up!"

Transformation Sequence: Usagi

Usagi's Cosmic Heart Compact opens, revealing the pink heart-shaped crystal inside, waving her hand over it. It flashes twice and erupts in pink light. Usagi is now standing in the middle of a light blue heart that's spinning to the right. She stands one leg while holding up her arms and begins pirouetting in the opposite direction, going faster until, in a burst of light, pink ribbons envelop her torso and midsection, transforming into her leotard. She elegantly stretches out her arms, and pink ribbons cover them, forming into her gloves. She then raised her right foot high with incredible flexibility, and pink ribbons cloak it changing into her boots. The heart made of blue light then turns into a circle of sparkles swirling around her waist, forming her skirt and bow. Now no longer in light, Usagi spins around a couple of times like a ballerina, and takes a small bow. As she comes out from her bow, a crescent moon mark glows in the middle of her forehead. Then, a tiara appears bearing a gold symbol of the Moon, along with her earrings, choker, and her ordango covers. Usagi opens her eyes, her transformation now complete, and strikes her signature pose.

Transformation Sequence: Chibiusa

The Prism Heart Compact opens, revealing Chibiusa's Silver Crystal inside of it. It begins to glow pink until a heart made of light pops up from it, flipping and overtaking the screen revealing Chibiusa bathed in light with the Prism Heart Compact in the center of her chest. The compact bursts with pink ribbons that tighten and wrap around Chibiusa's body, making her leotard. Chibiusa then spins around as a red bow appears where her compact is on her chest. Pink ribbons then wrap around her legs, forming her pink boots, and around her waist, forming her skirt and red bow at the back. Her gloves materialize next, and white-bordered red circular accents on her odango appear, along with pointed white fittings resembling a rabbit's ears, a golden tiara with a red gem, a pink choker around her neck, and pink studded earrings. Her transformation now complete; Chibiusa winks and then strikes her signature pose with a crescent moon in a pink background shining brightly.

Transformation Sequence: Ami

Ami held up her hand as blue sparkles swirled around it, alighting her fingernails, turning them into a shade of bright blue. Her transformation stick appears spinning, and she takes hold of it, the star on end as well as the symbol glowing. The logo on it begins to turn, enveloping Ami in blue light. Then she sweeps the pen over her head as a stream of sparkling blue water begins to emit from it, forming her leotard, boots, and gloves. A sparkling ripple, as well as a flurry of bubbles, expands over her body, creating a small mist of water that formed the rest of her uniform the same as Sailor Moon's but the center bow, boots, and rims on the gloves were blue and bright blue. She turns around and then strikes her signature pose.

Transformation Seuence: Rei

The planet Mars appears, and Rei puts her hand up, her fingernails begin to sparkle in bright red, and her transformation wand comes to her hand spinning, now having a different design, as she takes hold of it. Her body becomes silhouetted in red as a giant pillar of fire erupts from her wand. While spinning around, the fire swirled around her body, concealing her in a cocoon and burst revealing several tongues of flame surrounding Rei's body. The flames disperse, revealing Rei in her red Sailor Uniform wearing red heels, a pair of earrings, a purple bow in front, a red ribbon in the back, gloves with red trims, and a red skirt, choker, and collar. Rei then turns around, and in the middle of her forehead, her symbol appears, and her tiara materializes. Her transformation now complete; she assumes her final pose, her symbol and planet appearing in the background against a starry sky.

Transformation Seuence: Makoto

The planet Jupiter appears, and Makoto puts her hand up, her fingernails begin to sparkle in bright green, and her transformation wand comes to her hand spinning, now having a different design. Her body now becomes silhouetted in green, as blue lightning erupted from her wand, while holding it up. As she spins around a few times, until stopping with her back turned, the lightning swirls around her, forming rings like an atom. The lightning explodes, revealing Makoto in her green Sailor Uniform wearing green boots, a pair of rose earrings, a pink bow and ribbon, gloves with green trims, and a green skirt, choker, and collar. Makoto then turns around, and in the middle of her forehead, her symbol appears, and her tiara materializes. Her transformation now complete; she assumes her final pose, her symbol and planet appearing in the background against a starry sky.

Transformation sequence: Minako.

Minako holds up her hand as golden stars swirl around it, alighting her fingernails, turning them into a shade of bright orange. Her transformation stick appears spinning, and she takes hold of it, the star on end as well as the symbol glowing. It begins to turn as Minako is enveloped in yellow light. Then she sweeps the pen over her head as banners of golden stars emit from it. Minako then holds up the pen above her head as the banners of stars form a spiral around her body. They disappear into the ground, forming a circle of stars, and burst into more stars going upwards, enveloping Minako's body. Then Minako emerges wearing the same outfit as Sailor Moon's, the center bow, boots, and rims on the gloves colored orange, her back bow, yellow, and her center bow, blue. She then opens her eyes as she struck her signature pose.

All of the guardians are now fully transformed and ready to fight and help Ash and the other, as Ash, Naru, Duplica and Erika all got in their disguises.


Meanwhile, back at Team Rocket's hideout, Ditto has transformed into a Meowth, but it's problem is still visible the trio is clearly fed up with this as they glared at the Pokémon once more.

"What's wrong with you? Why the hell can't you get it right?!" Jessie shouted "Do it seriously!

"I don't have a dumbass expression like that!" Meowth glared

"If you don't do it probably next, we're going to punish you!" James said in a threatening tone

"That's right!" Meowth said while he unsheathes his claws

When Ditto sees Meowth's claws, he starts panicking, reshapes its face to look just like Meowth's, to Team Rocket's happiness especially the coin cat Pokémon.

"It worked!" James cheered

"You can do it if you try." Jessie smiled "Good job, Ditto."

"All right!" Meowth cried "Do Dratini next!"

Suddenly a beam of yellow light came from the distance while someone called Crescent Beam and Meowth, Jessie and James got out of the way just in time to not get hit by the beam, as Ditto was very happy to see our heroes again.

"Who did that?!" Jessie demanded

Soon, multiple spotlights shine around our heroes, and two of them are dressed up like Team Rocket, while Ash has the red jacket Lupin outfit on while the Sailor Guardians are standing next to Ash while Duplica is dressed up as Sailor Moon once more as they did their speeches.

"Prepare for trouble!" Naru introduced

"On the double!" Erika said

"You know what's more rude just like kidnapping a Transformation Pokémon that isn't yours?" Sailor Moon said "Not thinking about other's feelings that's right!"

"To protect the world from devastation." Ash and Sailor Mercury said

"To unite all people's within our nation." Smiled Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mars teasingly

Jessie and James are annoyed by this "They're doing it despite being a bunch of brats!" Jessie glared

"To defend the beauty of truth and love." Sailor Venus said

"To extend our reach to the stars above." Sailor Chibi Moon and Duplica said

"Naru."

"Erika."

"And not it's our turn! I am the Pretty Guardian, who fights for love and for Justice! I am Sailor Moon!" She introduced

"I am the Pretty Guardian, who fights for love and intelligence! I am Sailor Mercury!" Mercury continued

"Protected by Mars, the planet of fire. The Guardian of War. I am Sailor Mars!" Mars said

"Protected by Jupiter, the planet of thunder. The Guardian of Protection. I am Sailor Jupiter!" Jupiter said

"I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and Beauty. I am Sailor Venus!" Venus called

"I am the Pretty Guardian trainee who fights for love and for justice. I am Sailor Chibi Moon." Sailor Chibi Moon said

"Protected by the Earth and the Sun, the planets of peace, I am Ash Ketchum from the town of Pallet!" Ash continued

"And the Pretty Guardian in a Sailor Suit! Guardian that fights for love and justice! I am Sailor Duplica!" Duplica introduced

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" Naru and Erika said

"Surrender now, or In the name of moon…." Ash and Sailor Moon began

"….We'll punish you!" The gang finished

"Pi Pikachu!"

"Rai Raichu!"

"Pi Pichu!"

"That was great to do the whole thing!" Naru smiled

"And the speech you did Duplica, that was from the Japanese version of Sailor Moon." Sailor Moon sighed

"Please don't break the forth wall, Sailor Moon." Sailor Mercury warned swatting her hand

"I didn't know that stating these lines would feel so good." Erika said

"Ash, you've taken a behind to copycatting." Duplica said "Maybe we should all become actors!"

"No actor or stunt double would be able to pull off my handsome features." Ash said giving Team Rocket smirks

Jessie and James felt annoyed, humiliated and insulting by the gang's copying them and giving them a run for their money for annoying them throughout the journey. So the jokes on them.

"Team Rocket is not something to be made fun of!" Jessie growled

"So what? We're the good guys, so we have to do it our own way." Sailor Mars scoffed "That's what you two get for using it constantly anyway."

"Give Ditto back to us!" Sailor Duplica said

"No way!" Mewoth said

"No way!" Ditto Meowth said

Jessie and James chuckle as our heroes (with the exception of Sailor Mercury, do to her having a Visior and a Super Computer/PokéDex are confused as to which Meowth is real and which is Ditto as they looked at both of them.

"Huh? I can't tell which one's which." Sailor Moon groaned

"It looks like Ditto was able to master transform after all." Ash wowed

"That's right, Ditto achieved a perfect transformation while Team Rocket, with our expert care and training." Jessie laughed

"By expert care and training, you must mean demands and threats." Sailor Jupiter scoffed angrily

Jessie and James laugh at their triumph and seems like they're in sweet victory until Sailor Duplica was very happy of what Team Rocket was able to do and runs up to them and thanked them which causes Jessie and James stop laughing.

"Oh, thank you!" She thanked as she starts shedding tears "I've tried everything to fix Ditto's habit for such a long time. Now we can finally become a full-fledged Ditto and Ditto master duo!"

"Duplica." Ash said

"That's beautiful!" Sailor Venus cried

"Guess, in a way, Team Rocket did Duplica a favor." Sailor Jupiter thought

"It truly is beautiful." Jessie said while crying

"It's love!" James bawled

"We'll in that case, Hiw about letting things end calmly for a change?" Ash asked

"That's right, then, this time let's do just that." Jessie said while crossing her fingers and hiding behind her back

While both parties are letting things "End Calmly", Sailor Mercury, who she knows that they're going to hand them Meowth instead, then pressed a button on her earrings summoning her blue visor and computer/PokéDex and quickly scanned the Two Pokémon After a few seconds, she gasped that the one on the right is Ditto.

"I knew it! Ditto is by the right of Meowth!" The Guardian of Mercury said "The only difference is the voice."

"What?!" Meowth shrieked "Guys, she's onto us!"

"In that case, if you want Ditto so badly. Then take him!" Jessie snapped

Team Rocket grabs and hands "Ditto" over to Duplica who is really Meowth and get in their hot air balloon, The hideout comes apart and Team Rocket flies upward in their balloon holding the the real Ditto which an angry Duplica glaring at them.

"Huh? Hey guys, what are you doing?" asked Meowth

"We'll be on our way now!" Jessie teased "Goodbye, everyone!"

"Good luck with Ditto!" James said

"Damn, they tricked us!" Ash snapped "Sailor Mercury was right, they took off with the wrong Pokémon and gave us Meowth!"

"Give us back Ditto!" Duplica shouted

"Hey! Let me go, will ya?!" Meowth demanded

She then aims the Meowth Team Rocket gave her and throws Meowth at the balloon and he lands on the face of it while the Cat Pokémon is holding on for dear life.

"Ha! Ha! We knew you were holding Ditto the entire time!" Sailor Chibi Moon laughed at Jessie as Togepi laughed as well

"No way! If they didn't have that Blue haired Guardian Brat, they'd never would've figure us out!" Jessie scowled

"Even through it was the perfect transformation too." James whined "Damn them."

Ditto then bites Jessie's arm, causing her shout in pain and to let it go, allowing Ditto to jump down to Sailor Duplica who catches it, twirls around and hugs it.

"I wouldn't be much of a trainer if I couldn't see through that transformation. Right, Ditto!" She smiled

The real Cat Pokémon then glared at the two for messing up. "Dumbasses!, you've got butterfingers!"

"Just don't go extending your fingers, Meowth!" James shouted

"It's time for plan B!" Jessie said

She presses a button and unveils a cannon under the balloon, pointing at our shocked heroes, the Picture of Makoto and Rei that Mewoth had in his pocket fell off and it landed on Sailor Jupiter's hands and she and Sailor Mars are disgusted as they saw that The talking Pokémon has this and they glared at them.

"Rai?!"

"You perverted Pokémon!" Sailor Mars shouted we'll make sure you'll pay for having a picture in our bikinis!"

"Pika?!

"What the hell?! How is that Possible?" Ash glared "and you'll pay for taking a picture of them back at Porta Vista!"

"You'll kill us all!" Erika shouted

"Shut the hell up!" Jessie glared "We'll round you all up in one go."

Then Sailor Duplica has an idea as Sailor Moon sends out her Ditto as it materializes from it's Safari Ball and decides to join Sailor Duplica's Ditto for action.

"Ditto, transform into a Canon!" She commanded

"You too, Ditto! See if you can transform into a Canon as well!" Sailor Moon commanded

Sailor Duplica's Ditto leaps off Duplica's arm and turns into a canon while Sailor Moon's Ditto crawls over to the other Canon and glows and transforms into one, Ash, Naru, Erika and the Sailor Guardians sees Duplica's Idea Luna and Artemis recognized this too.

"Wow! So Ditto can transform into other stuff then just Pokémon now." Ash said "Sailor Moon, your doin a great job raising your Ditto."

She then kisses Ash on his cheek and smiles "Thank you, Ashy! I was taking notes from Duplica!"

"But I don't think it's enough." Sailor Mercury pointed out then turns to Pichu "Pichu, I want you to be the biggest help I can ever have, I know this is your first time batting, but please try your best for me, ok?"

"Pichu!"

Sailor Mercury giggled "That's the spirit."

"Ok Raichu, we'll show Team Rocket how to really party!" Sailor Jupiter said "Let's give them some lighting of a lifetime!"

"Raichu!"

"Pikachu!" Ash called "Show Team Rocket how far we've come! And hold onto Pichu tightly!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu and Pichu ran up and locked and loaded onto Sailor Duplica's Ditto while Pikachu holds onto Pichu tightly, while Raichu runs up to Sailor Moon's Ditto and locked and loaded onto it like a canon ball.

"Ready?" Sailor Chibi Moon said

"Pikachu, aim!" Ash called

"Raichu, aim!" Sailor Jupiter called

"Pichu, make me proud!" Sailor Mercury said

"Ditto, fire!" Sailors Moon and Duplica commaned

The two Ditto fires The three electric mouse Pokémon at Team Rocket just when Jessie presses the button again and fires a net at the three, and with Ash's, Sailor Mercury's and Sailor Jupiter's signals, Pikachu and Raichu uses Thunderbolt, along with Pichu's newly learned Thunderbolt and the electrical volts travel through the net and throughout the balloon, causing Team Rocket to get shocked. Meowth then ends up clinching onto the balloon tighter by using his claws, resulting in the balloon springing a leak and sending Team Rocket blasting off, three familiar Faces who was blocked off by something big on he path watches in the distance.

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Team Rocket Screams as they blasted off a shine appeared in the distance.


After Team Rocket blasted off, Ash, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter caught their respective Pokémon with their arms and Ditto returns to its previous form and jumps into Sailor Duplica's arms for a hug and they all congratulated their Pokémon, Sailor Moon's Ditto returns to normal and jumps into Sailor Moon's arms and hugs her Pokémon as well.

Ditto, that was incredible!" Sailor Duplica congratulated "Now you're able to transform properly. Please show me the transformation of Pikachu."

Ditto then gets off of Sailor Duplica's arms and transforms into a perfect copy of Pikachu for her and our heroes run to her and they are amazed by the perfect transformation.

"Pi Pika? Pikachu!"

"Wow, that is an amazing Pikachu! Ditto transforms perfectly!" Naru smiled

"Like Ashy said It's finally mastered its only attack." Erika said

"I can hardly believe it! Team Rocket was actually good for something." Ash smiled and then thought "Then they'll get laid off from Beryl and Giovanni."

"Yeah, just as I thought before." Sailor Jupiter smiled "Great Job out there Raichu."

"Rai."

"It's amazing how Ditto can transform into inorganic objects, too." Sailor Mars said

"Plus it could surpass the real thing." Sailor Chibi Moon smiled as her Togepi agreed

"You did great, Pikachu and Ditto." Ash congratulated

"Pikachu!"

"You made me very proud out there, Pichu." Sailor Mercury said and she hugged her baby Pokémon

"Chu.."

"Looks like you've grown a lot since you left your hometown." Sailor Duplica said as she kissed Ash on his cheek making it the third time Ash got kissed by a girl recently

Ditto as Pikachu jumps onto her arms and reverts to its original form as it and Sailor Duplica hug as our heroes watch with smiles, the Ash says something.

"Girls, I want to say this, you are all beautiful not to mention amazing in anything you all wear." Ash complimented

"Pika.."

"Aww!!" The girls cried as they begin smiling and blushing at the young man for saying that.


Then a few hours later after everyone got back into their usual outfits and the Sailor Guardians revert back to their civilian forms, Duplica is seen fixing up the outside of The House of Imite. and it is now brand spanking new again.

"There! The Imite House will be reopened in a few months!"

"Congratulations, Duplica." Ash congratulated

"You and Ditto are gonna become stars." Ami smiled

"Pichu."

"Actually I made my up my mind, I want to come with you on your journey." Duplica said

Ash as well as the three electric mouse Pokémon, the baby egg Pokémon and the girls were surprised at this even though she just got done building a few minutes ago.

"B-But you wanted to go Showbiz!" Rei interjected

"Yeah, but I wanted to take it on tour throughout the Kanto Region and the kind words Ash said kinda have a fluffy felling in my heart that I can't describe it right now." Duplica said while blushing

Then they hear a familiar female voice that Ash recognized "It means that your in love with him?" She asked

"Oh my, looks like Ash Ketchum keeps getting more Pokémon and girls every singe day." Said another

They all turned around to see who those voices are, and to their suprise including Duplica's it was Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna all standing behind them as Ash thought they agreed to meet at the Pokémon Center and he asks them.

"Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna!" Ash gasped "I-I thought we agreed to meet up at the Celadon Pokémon Center."

"Well, we did agree to meet up there, however there's something big blocking the entrance to Celadon City and we cannot get through." Michiru answered

"Follow us and we'll show you what we mean." Haruka said

Without hesitation, everyone all followed the three to the place where the path is being blocked by, with Duplica following them as her Ditto is riding on her arm.


Everyone all arrived at the place where the road is blocked and what's blocking their way is a Snorlax, which is a huge, bipedal, dark blue-green Pokémon with a cream-colored face, belly, and feet. Its body is composed of mostly its belly, as its limbs are comparatively small. Its head is large with small, pointed ears and two pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw. It has round feet, which both have three claws and a circular brown paw pad, and short arms with five claws on each hand. Snorlax's bulk makes it the heaviest Normal type. Everyone was suprised that a Pokémon that huge would block the road.

Ash got out his PokéDex and opened it and analyzed it with it's radar and info came up which says: "Snorlax, a Sleeping Pokémon. Snorlax wakes only to eat. Snorlax is one of the heaviest species of all known Pokémon, with some weighing more than one thousand pounds."

"I see what you mean, Haruka." Ash said

"Yeah, we tried moving it a bunch of times, but no luck." She responded "If we don't get past, we'll never make it to the Princess Festival."

"Pika Pika."

"From what Ami told me, It's the heaviest Normal type Pokémon, weighing in at 1014.1 pounds!" Ash said Plus, it can eat at least about 900 pounds of food per day! And it's no picky eater, meaning it'll eat anything, whether it be fresh and ripe or old and moldy. It's stomach is so strong that it can even handle eating a Muk's poison!"

"Well, that explains that we cannot move it." Michiru sadly sighed

"The only way to wake it up is with the PokéFlute and play a wonderful melody." Setsuna said

Ash remembered that he's got the PokéFlute since he along with the Guardians saved Mr. Fuji from Team Rocket back in the Pokémon Tower back in Lavander Town, he reached into his backpack and got out the PokéFlute.

"I have one, i received it after we went to rescue Mr. Fuji." Ash said holding the flute

"Pika Pi!"

The gang was amazed at the Boy for keeping it in his backpack at all times. Usagi gets out her pink PokéDex with the moon spot on the front and looks up info on the PokéFlute with says: "The Poké Flute is used to wake sleeping Pokémon. Snorlax will only awaken to this flute."

"Nice going, Ashy!" Ami cheered "Now play a wonderful melody so Snorlax can wake up. and not just a Snorlax! A Poke Flute can wake any sleeping Pokémon!"

"I can't wait to see what the Princess festival is like." Duplica said

Ash then plays a wonderful melody form the PokéFlute the song so beautiful that it smoothed the girls and the Moon cats and even the Pokémon, and it got to the point that Snorlax woke up and got up off of it's feet and wants to battle with Ash.

"Ashy, I think he wants to battle you!" Makoto said "It's been known to attack the first thing it sees after waking up. It thinks what he sees is food!"

"That's right. Since it can be pretty dangerous, please help it calm down by battling one of your Pokémon!" Ami suggested "You should catch it to make it your Pokémon! It's mistook you for food!"

"Ok, Snorlax if you want a battle then here you go!" Ash said getting out a Pokéball "I Choose You! Charizard!"

He throws the PokéBall and Shiny Charizard materializes from it's PokéBall and then Sparkles came out when it materializes as Snorlax is ready to make the first move.

The big Pokémon then clenched it's paw into a fist and lunged at the Shiny Pokémon to use Mega Punch, which it flew to doge it and Charizard flew back down and ready to use the first attack.

"Charizard, use Flamethrower!" Ash commaned

Charizard then shot fire out of it's mouth and directly at the Wild Snorlax and it took a good amount of Damage, the Snorlax is weakened a little bit Wild Snorlax ducked his head and it slams its head into Charizard but didn't do much.

"Charizard, Counter it with Dragon Claw!" Ash commanded

Within Command, Charizard's Charizard's hands become surrounded in a light green, claw shaped energy. It then strikes the Snorlax doing a great amount of Damage and it's almost out, and now it's a chance for Ash to catch it.

"Ash, now's your chance!" Ami said

"Right!" Ash nodded as he got out a empty PokéBall "Now, Go PokéBall!" But before he could throw it, Haruka stops him

"Wait, Ash!" She halted and she hands him a new PokéBall "Here, use this it's stronger then a PokéBall."

What ball Haruka handed Ash is an Ultra Ball, it's a a black ball with a yellow stripe. It has a black and yellow top, often with the yellow forming an "H" on the top of the ball. Like most other Balls, it has a white bottom area.

"What kinda PokéBall is this?" He asked

"Pika.."

Michiru answered for Haruka "It's a Ultra Ball it has a 2x catch rate modifier, double of that of a standard Poké Ball and 33% more of that of a Great Ball."

"Cha.."

"That's awesome, I didn't know I can buy these now." Ash said as he prepares to throw the ball "Now go, Ultra Ball!"

He then throws the Ultra Ball to a weaken Wild Snorlax it hit the Pokémon on the head and Snorlax went inside the Ball and after three rolls, it clicked with three stars glowing, meaning Snorlax was caught. Ash was very happy that he got a Snorlax and then the ball began to glow and it teleported to Professor Oak's lab.

"And to Professor Oak's it goes." Ash said

Ami walked up to the young man "You did it Ashy. You unblocked the road and caught a Snorlax, and now we can go to Celadon City." She congratulated

"Pichu.."

"Yeah, I cannot wait for the Princess Festival!" Usagi cheered

"I already promised you girls I'll give you the best time in your lives." Ash said

"Pikachu."

"Your so sweet." Rei said hugging Ash from behind

"Yeah, looks like we found a knight in shining armor." Makoto said

"Raichu."

"Hey, Haruka, thanks for helping me catch the Snorlax." Ash thanked "Without it, I would've never got it and helped you all out."

"It's my pleasure, you know when you get 5 or 6 Gym badges you can buy some Ultra Balls." Haruka said "They can help you catch Pokémon a little easier."

Then Ash and the gang continued onto Celadon City with Duplica following them, Our heroes help bring the sunshine back into another trainer's life. Who knows what rewards and adventures await them, beyond the rainbow. Ash will give the girls including Duplica a wonderful time and he'll show her what the Princess Festival is all about, as the Journey Continues!

To be Continued...


And then Duplica joins the party, and Ash has 13 girls including Chibiusa in his Party.

Next time we'll be tackling the Porygon Episode that was never shown again after it's original airing in Japan meaning Porygon was never shown in the anime again outside with a few cameos in "Electric Soldier Porygon."

If you liked what you've read feel free to leave me a review.

Until then, Gotta Catch 'Em All!
