However, they soon spot two Togekiss. Dawn calls the real one back in the Poké Ball. Suddenly, there is the problem with Pikachu. Ash picks one, but gets zapped by the other Pikachu.

Suddenly, Gible gets in the fight with its counterpart. Suddenly, a woman comes and orders the coutnerparts to cool down, which transform back into Ditto.

As Narissa confesses she is a trainer, Ash thinks she is like her, but gets insulted by being called a noob.

Inferape uses Flame Wheel and Ditto collides with the same move. Infernape uses Mach Punch and Ditto collides with it using the same move, but Ditto is defeated.
 
 
Before the Grand Festival, Dawn and Ash train. Piplup uses [[Whirlpool]] and Gible with [[Draco Meteor]]. This fails and lands on Piplup. While Brock made lunch, Piplup spins and uses BubbleBeam. Dawn gives him some rest and sends Togekiss, who uses Sky Attack. As Piplup is resting, two bright eyes are seen in a nearby bush. Piplup comes to lunch and eats a lot of food, some of which is not his own. Suddenly, Piplup comes and fights with the one on the table. Seeing how they cannot surely tell which is the real one, Gible's (failed) Draco Meteor lands on the real Piplup.
   
 
However, they soon spot two Togekiss. Dawn calls the real one back in the Poké Ball. Suddenly, there is the problem with Pikachu. Ash picks one, but gets zapped by the other Pikachu. He picks the other and gets zapped by the first one. Pikachu makes silly faces, but there is no difference and there is another Piplup, which gets in the fight with the one in Dawn's hold. Suddenly, Gible gets in the fight with its counterpart. Suddenly, a woman comes and orders the counterparts to cool down, which transform back into Ditto. They meet up with the woman, Narissa, whose nickname is Rissa. Dawn and Ash think it is an interesting nickname, but this gets Narissa riled up, as she is also called the Rumbler.
Narissa sends her other Ditto, while Ash calls his Infernape back and sends Pikachu. Instead of copying Pikachu, Narissa chooses Piplup to copy. Pikachu uses thunderbolt, which electrocutes Ditto. Narissa picks Pikachu to copy, so Ditto transforms into him. Ditto uses Iron Tail, but Pikachu shrugs it off. Pikachu uses Quick Attack and Ditto Volt Tackle, causing Ditto to be defeated by the collision. Narissa gets upset and wants to get in fight with Ash. Brock and Dawn do not think it is a wise move, but Narissa remembers she won a battle; a Zapdos passed by and the Ditto transformed into it, causing the opponent to flee. Though others do not think it was a win, Narissa does not care any other way. Brock talks with Narrisa, giving her a piece of his mind; she needs to study Pokémon more. While Narissa continues to be ignorant, Brock tells her she needs to do that or she will not be a trainer.
 
   
 
As Narissa confesses she is a trainer, Ash thinks she is like her, but gets insulted by being called a noob. She admits she has been on the journey a month and has not won a single badge, confusing Ash and Dawn. Meanwhile, Team Rocket hear that and Meowth believes that the boss would be saved by having Ditto transform into powerful Pokémon. Ash proposes a Pokémon battle, which Narissa accepts, using her Ditto. Narissa sends out her Shiny Ditto, Ditto 2 and Ash brings out Infernape. Ditto 2 transforms into Infernape and uses its moves. Dawn deduces that Ditto can use the moves of whatever Pokémon they transform into. Infernape uses Flame Wheel and Ditto 2 collides with the same move, canceling each other out. The two then both use Mach Punch, and while they seem evenly matched, Ditto 2 gets pushed back.
Narissa cries, as she tried to act tough, which is why she dressed up as Flint of the Elite Four. Brock tells her that while Ditto can copy moves, their strength is not the same. Brock advises her to study and it should be fine. Brock makes a review of her battle; her Ditto could've first transformed into Piplup, which would be a good advantage against Infernape. Brock then explaines that Pikachu knows different type moves to get a more advantage. To test her, he is going to use his Happiny against her Ditto. Ditto use Pound, so Happiny uses Pound and sends them away because of her impressive strength. They attempt the same using Sudowoodo. Ditto use Hammer Arm and Sudowoodo retaliates using the same move. Suddenly, Ditto get captured by Team Rocket.
 
   
 
Narissa sends in her other Ditto, Ditto 1, while Ash recalls his Infernape and sends out Pikachu. Narissa has Ditto one transform into Piplup, which Dawn questions since Water-types are weak against Electric-types. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, which electrocutes Ditto. Realizing her error, Narissa has Ditto 1 transform into Pikachu. Ditto 1 uses Iron Tail, but Pikachu shrugs it off, with Dawn stating that Steel-type moves don't work well on Electric-types. Pikachu then uses Quick Attack and Ditto 1 counters with Volt Tackle. Dawn points out that Volt Tackle causes recoil damage, making Narissa realize too late that she messed up again. The two Pokémon collide, and Ditto 1 ends up defeated. Narissa gets upset and wants fight Ash. Brock and Dawn do not think it is a wise move, but Narissa recounts how she won a battle; a passing Zapdos flew by and her both Ditto transformed into it, causing her opponent to flee. The others point out that she didn't actually win, but Narissa does not care any other way, claiming that "a win is a win". Brock talks with Narissa, giving her a piece of his mind; she needs to have better knowledge of her Pokémon. When Narissa still doesn't get it, Brock angrily tells her that unless she learns more about Pokémon, she will never be a successful trainer.
Jessie sends Seviper, who uses Haze and they disappear. Ash sends Staraptor to scout. When the Ditto are let out, they copy Meowth and Wobbuffet. It did not took much for the gang to find them. James sends Carnivine, who uses Bullet Seed, though Ditto transform into Staraptor and use Aerial Ace, which dodges Bullet Seed and attack Carnivine. Jessie sends Seviper, so Ash sends Gible, allowing Ditto to be transformed into it. Ditto digs, while the other uses Quick Attack on Seviper. The Ditto transform into Pikachu and they all use Thunderbolt, which sends Team Rocket blasting off. Narissa promises to act less tough and asks of Brock if he can visit him again. Brock agrees and when he spots a gil, he flirts with her, but gets stabbed by not one, but *three* Croagunk. Narissa goes away, annoyed by all this. Later, the heroes find themselves at Lake Valor, for Dawn's Grand Festival.
 
   
 
Narissa suddenly bursts into tears, and explains that she's really a scaredy cat and a crybaby. Her tough facade is only an act, which is why she dresses up as Flint of the Elite Four. Brock tells her that while her Ditto can copy a Pokémon's moves, their power is not the same. Brock advises her to study and things will be fine. Brock makes a review of her battles; in her first match, she could've had Ditto transform into Piplup, which would've be a good matchup against Infernape. Brock then explains that Pikachu knows moves of various types to gain a better advantage. To test her, he is going to use his Happiny against her Ditto. Ditto 1 and 2 use Pound, and Happiny uses the same move and sends them away because of her impressive strength. They attempt the same using Sudowoodo. Ditto use Hammer Arm and Sudowoodo retaliates with the same move. Suddenly, Ditto get captured by Team Rocket.
==Trivia==
 
This is the first episode where Gible intentionally fires Draco Meteor on Piplup.
 
   
 
Just as Pikachu is about to stop them, Jessie sends Seviper, who uses Haze and they disappear quickly. Ash sends Staraptor to look for them. When the Ditto are let out, they copy Meowth and Wobbuffet. It doesn't take long for the gang to find them. James sends out Carnivine, who gives him its usual biting affection, though Ditto transform into Staraptor and use Aerial Ace and dodge Carnivine's Bullet Seed and attack it. Jessie sends Seviper, so Ash sends Gible, allowing Ditto 2 to be transformed into it. Ditto uses Dig, while the other uses Quick Attack on Seviper. The Ditto transform into Pikachu and they all fire a boss-fantasy-thwarting triple Thunderbolt to blast Team Rocket off once again. Narissa promises to act less tough and asks of Brock if he can visit him again. Brock agrees, but when he spots a girl, he flirts with her, but gets a Poison Jab from not one, but ''three'' Croagunk. Narissa runs off, annoyed by all this. Later, the heroes find themselves at Lake Valor, for Dawn's Grand Festival.
===Errors===
 
When Team Rocket throws the net on Ditto 1 and 2, they are still transformed into Sudowoodo, but in the next scene, they are ditto, despite not shown transforming.
 
 
===Dub edits===
 
In the original Japanese, the two Ditto speak human language when they've transformed into Meowth. This was changed in the dub, where Meowth still speaks human but the Ditto say "Meowth".

Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama! (Japanese: メタモン・へんしんバトル!本物はドッチ~ニョ!?, HepburnDitto—Transformation Battle! Which One is the Real One!?) is the 16th episode of Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors.

Synopsis

As Ash, Brock, and Dawn travel through a forest, they unexpectedly meet another Piplup and Pikachu—and soon they start to see copies of all their Pokémon. Eventually, they meet a tough Trainer named Narissa, who reveals that the culprits are her two Ditto. Ash pounces at the opportunity and challenges her to a battle!

Narissa makes several rookie errors during the battle and gets really angry when she loses. When Brock asks about her strategy, she breaks down in tears and confesses that her tough-girl act is just that! With his help and Ash’s advice, she improves her battle skills—enough to defeat Team Rocket when they show up![1]

Episode plot

Before the Grand Festival, Dawn and Ash train. Piplup uses Whirlpool and Gible with Draco Meteor. This fails and lands on Piplup. While Brock made lunch, Piplup spins and uses BubbleBeam. Dawn gives him some rest and sends Togekiss, who uses Sky Attack. As Piplup is resting, two bright eyes are seen in a nearby bush. Piplup comes to lunch and eats a lot of food, some of which is not his own. Suddenly, Piplup comes and fights with the one on the table. Seeing how they cannot surely tell which is the real one, Gible's (failed) Draco Meteor lands on the real Piplup.

However, they soon spot two Togekiss. Dawn calls the real one back in the Poké Ball. Suddenly, there is the problem with Pikachu. Ash picks one, but gets zapped by the other Pikachu. He picks the other and gets zapped by the first one. Pikachu makes silly faces, but there is no difference and there is another Piplup, which gets in the fight with the one in Dawn's hold. Suddenly, Gible gets in the fight with its counterpart. Suddenly, a woman comes and orders the counterparts to cool down, which transform back into Ditto. They meet up with the woman, Narissa, whose nickname is Rissa. Dawn and Ash think it is an interesting nickname, but this gets Narissa riled up, as she is also called the Rumbler.

As Narissa confesses she is a trainer, Ash thinks she is like her, but gets insulted by being called a noob. She admits she has been on the journey a month and has not won a single badge, confusing Ash and Dawn. Meanwhile, Team Rocket hear that and Meowth believes that the boss would be saved by having Ditto transform into powerful Pokémon. Ash proposes a Pokémon battle, which Narissa accepts, using her Ditto. Narissa sends out her Shiny Ditto, Ditto 2 and Ash brings out Infernape. Ditto 2 transforms into Infernape and uses its moves. Dawn deduces that Ditto can use the moves of whatever Pokémon they transform into. Infernape uses Flame Wheel and Ditto 2 collides with the same move, canceling each other out. The two then both use Mach Punch, and while they seem evenly matched, Ditto 2 gets pushed back.

Narissa sends in her other Ditto, Ditto 1, while Ash recalls his Infernape and sends out Pikachu. Narissa has Ditto one transform into Piplup, which Dawn questions since Water-types are weak against Electric-types. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, which electrocutes Ditto. Realizing her error, Narissa has Ditto 1 transform into Pikachu. Ditto 1 uses Iron Tail, but Pikachu shrugs it off, with Dawn stating that Steel-type moves don't work well on Electric-types. Pikachu then uses Quick Attack and Ditto 1 counters with Volt Tackle. Dawn points out that Volt Tackle causes recoil damage, making Narissa realize too late that she messed up again. The two Pokémon collide, and Ditto 1 ends up defeated. Narissa gets upset and wants fight Ash. Brock and Dawn do not think it is a wise move, but Narissa recounts how she won a battle; a passing Zapdos flew by and her both Ditto transformed into it, causing her opponent to flee. The others point out that she didn't actually win, but Narissa does not care any other way, claiming that "a win is a win". Brock talks with Narissa, giving her a piece of his mind; she needs to have better knowledge of her Pokémon. When Narissa still doesn't get it, Brock angrily tells her that unless she learns more about Pokémon, she will never be a successful trainer.

Narissa suddenly bursts into tears, and explains that she's really a scaredy cat and a crybaby. Her tough facade is only an act, which is why she dresses up as Flint of the Elite Four. Brock tells her that while her Ditto can copy a Pokémon's moves, their power is not the same. Brock advises her to study and things will be fine.
