Pokemon Gates to Infinity the Novel Series

episode 31 ditto mansions

"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?"

"My Grandpa told me about Ditto once! Even brought one to the Garden 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, "Oh Great."

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?"
