Summary: Our friends meet up with Duplica, who brock sniffs out based on her Nurse Joy costume. Team Rocket remembers Duplica, and seeks to steal Ditto. Duplica has a new friend named Mini-Dit. This Ditto has a problem with the size of their transformations, our crew sees the problem when Brock sends out Onix, put it’s small. Team Rocket sees this as adding to its value. Mini Dit battles Ash, but just like Bulbasaur in Season 1, Ash’s Totodile has problems versus its copy. Team Rocket bust in halfway through the battle with a motto in Ash and Duplica costumes. Meowth grabs Mini Dit, and Duplica is sad. Meowth dreams up a pretty good plan, trading Ditto for a great Pokémon and swipe it back with the Pokémon they just traded. Noctowl and Ditto search for Team Rocket, but Team Rocket decides to do their mini-Arbok plan near where they stole Ditto, this is where the plan goes wrong. Team Rocket tries to pressure Ash into trading Pikachu, but Meowth spoils the plan by revealing Team Rocket. Pikachu zaps Team Rocket, and Mini Dit pops out of the cage. Duplica uses her two Ditto to battle against Jessie’s Arbok and Wobbuffet. Duplica uses Mirror Coat on Jessie’s Arbok, and James is very impressed with Duplica. Duplica uses a ton of exposition to teach the viewers, us, the differences between Counter and Mirror Coat. The Ditto transform into Pikachu, and all three Pikachu send Team Rocket flying. Ash and Brock help Duplica fully appreciate the size of Mini Dit. Ash and Duplica run out to battle.
