Duplika replies by challenging Ash to a match, one on one. Duplika leads them to a stage and they start the battle. Duplika chooses Ditto and Ash sends out Bulbasaur. Ditto uses Transform and turns into a Bulbasaur. Ash's Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf on Ditto.
Ditto then uses Vine Whip and knocks all of the leaves away.
It then grabs Bulbasaur with its Vine Whip and Ash gives up. Ditto turns back to its real shape. Ash wonders how the original could have lost. Duplika takes Ash and friends into a dressing room filled with hundreds of clothes. She goes through a rack and comes out dressed as Nurse Joy.
