[1] Professor Kukui's Daughter

Ditto's Mysterious Mansion

After the events with the Biker Gang, Ember and her friends continue their journey. The gang was walking along the path to Cinnabar Island when they saw some clouds were gathering.

"A storm?" Ember asked.

As soon as she said that it began to pour down on them making them run for it to find shelter.

"Let's get out of this!" Alain decided as they ran along the path, hoping to find some shelter.

"Where can we go?! We're in the middle of nowhere." Zoey pointed out.

Ember spotted something ahead of them, "Guys look!"

Looking in the direction she was pointing to, they saw it was an old looking house in the middle of nowhere.

"What's that?" Cilan asked.

"I don't like the looks of it." Zoey commented.

"That'll have to do, let's go!" Ember said. They all went inside the house shaking the water off of them.

"Hello? Sorry for barging in!" Ember called out.

"Is anybody here?" Zoey called out.

The gang walked further in and noticed a stage that had a sign above that read "IMITE HOUSE" on it.

"It looks like some kind of theater." Cilan said.

Mairin nodded, "Yeah."

"Well, since nobody's around, we might as well stay here until the rain stops." Ember suggested.

"Good idea." Alain agreed.

Soon, Nova and the other Pokémon noticed something.

"Sylveon! (Look you guys!)" Nova said.

Everyone turned to Nova and saw another Chespin right in front of Chespie.

"Where'd that other Chespin come from?" Cilan asked.

The other Chespin copies everything that Chespie was doing.

"Meow (Interesting little Chespin)." Glameow commented.

"How cute!" Mairin squealed as she went over to the other Chespin and picked it up, "Hi there!"

Mairin's happiness soon turns to surprise and shock when she noticed that the Chespin's face was different from Chespie's. She dropped the Chespin, "What is this?! What's wrong with it?!"

"What's your problem?" Ember asked.

"That Chespin doesn't look right!" Mairin pointed at the Chespie.

Everyone looked and saw what Mairin meant.

"Could be a new type of Chespin." Cilan theorized.

Alain shook his head, "I don't think so."

"Could this be...a Ditto?" Ember questioned as she knelt down in front of it.

"A Ditto?" Zoey asked, curious.

Rotom scanned the Pokémon, "Ditto, a Transform Pokémon. It is able to rearrange the cells of its body and assume any form. Its only attack is Transform."

The weird looking Chespin transformed into a pink blob with a smiling face.

Ember smiled back as she petted Ditto, "Squishy."

"So it is a Ditto." Alain concluded.

They heard someone giggle, "You're actually the first to figure that out."

They turned towards the source of the voice to see a girl with green hair that was in two ponytails, red shirt, and purple pants. Ember recognized her. It was Duplica.
