Snippet #15957

After filling their bellies the trio sat and gazed as the sky as the sun was soon to be setting. "Ok now it’s a real time to shine you two lets finish this day with a match between you and pidgetto" exclaimed Jeremy standing up and rubbing the flecks of dirt that lingered on his pants. Bulbasaur yawned and looked at the pidgeotto and they both nodded simultaneously. The two spread out giving each other distance and Jeremy stepped a couple steps away from his grass pokemon.

"My first real pokebattle you two give it your all but don’t hurt each other too bad" Jeremy had confidence he could win the battle and started off the battle with leech seed. The pidgeotto simply dodges all the saplings thrown in its direction and flies in the air throwing its wings forward making a gust of wind. Gust after gusts of wind where thrown in both the teen's and the pokemon's direction. Jeremy shielded his eyes from the small pieces of dirt that flung up with the wind and watch proudly as his bulbasaur held on to the ground with his tiny claws. Suddenly things changed drastically and the pokemon swooped down going in for the kill quickly Jeremy shouted the command “Bulbasaur quickly use vine whip and propel yourself into the air and hit her hard with bullet seed.” The pokemon did just that in the knick of time as the bird pokemon swooped down. The green bulb on the pokemon’s back began to glow and soon seeds blasted out the tip of the plant pelting the bird right in the face knocking it back a couple feet.

Jeremy quickly ran up to the bird pokemon to check if it was ok from the powerful blow that Bubbie gave him. The pidgetto was simply dazed and the teen simply scooped the pokemon up and fed it a small pellet shaped pill to help ease some of the pain. After the pokemon accepted the medicine it started to glow a bright pink color. Worried and shocked Jeremy accidently drops the bird pokemon. The pidgeotto hit the ground with a squish sound and the pokemon began to lose its shape. It finally all clicked inside Jeremy’s head. All this time another pokemon was masquerading as a bird pokemon with extreme skill and talent. It morphed into the exact replica of the bird and even picked up on its mannerisms and moves with ease.

Quickly Jeremy pulled his red pokedex out of his pocket:

In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything, even inanimate objects. This pokemon is also known to be a genderless species.

Ditto is capable of transforming into an exact replica of any other Pokémon or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto cannot mimic the strength of another Pokémon.

Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

“A Ditto?!?!?!” exclaimed the teen jumping for joy soon his bulbasaur joined in on the celebration. The transforming pokemon soon awoke up from its hard work only to find its self in Jeremy’s room. A little confused on what happened started randomly changing to things in the room. From a computer monitor to a pokeball the pokemon changed until it felt too tired to change into anything else. Jeremy was downstairs reheating the tasty soup he had left over from earlier that day and he and his Bulbasaur ran up back to his room.

After handing the soup to the blob pokemon it changed into an exactly replica of bulbasaur to eat the soup and astonish both Jeremy and Bubbie. This amused the two and after Ditto ate all the soup Jeremy sat beside the fake Bulbasaur and started rattling on a conversation between him and it. To help the Ditto understand Bulbasaur acted as a translator between Ditto and his master Jeremy.

“You are a very special pokemon and to be honest I want you to be mine. Not only are you skilled in morphing but you are also a friend to both me and my Bulbasaur. I would like to catch you and use you in both combat and to keep me company and I hope you accept me and Bubbie’s invitation.” The Ditto perked up and stretched and shrunk and slithered over and sat on Jeremy’s lap along with Bulbasaur. Soon on the computer desk Jeremy’s cell phone began to ring and vibrate. Its was a call from his dad and Jeremy answered with much enthusiasm.

“Hey Jeremy! It’s your dad ummmm after work I was headed home and got into a biking accident. Its nothing too bad just a couple scrapes and bruises and a concussion on the head but the hospital is keeping me overnight to see if anything comes up” said his dad in a tired drowsy type of voice. “Tomorrow a new friend and professor of the school is going to pick you up at 8am and take you to Blazemer City where im hospitalized at……I cant leave you alone too long” joked his dad. After the conversation Jeremy announced the field trip to his pokemon.

Moments later both Bulbasaur and Ditto were sound asleep while the teen laid in bed reading up on the city he was going to visit in this strange new region. He read how Blazemer City was born in that very location across the lake from Vulkan Island and also read about the eruption of the volcano that killed many. He also read about the 8th gym leader that resided there and he was positive he was pay the gym a visit to just look around and not challenge him
