Eevy had just been sitting there watching her Pokemon play when she realized something. Something that was going to eat away at her.

“Professor,” she said calling Pro. Palm’s attention to her, “I just remembered something that totally slipped my mind before.”

“What is it?” Ash asked as he sat drinking a soda with Pikachu.

“I completely forgot that a trainer can only carry six Pokemon! I have seven!”

“No,” Misty said, “Espeon, Umbreon, Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Eevee. That’s six.”

“But you’re neglecting counting Ditto!” Eevy said as she pointed to her.

“That’s right,” Brock commented, “You would have to leave one of them in a Pokemon Storage Box.”

“I won’t do that! I won’t stick my Pokemon in a dark abandoned hole!”

“It’s not dark at all,” Pro. Palm added, “Bill did an impeccable job when he designed it.”

“I don’t care. I just won’t do it,” Eevy huffed.

“Has your sister always been like this?” Brock whispered to Morty.

“Oh yeah, all the time,” Morty answered him.

“I heard that!” Eevy stormed.

“Sorry!” Morty groveled.

“Let’s go,” Eevy growled as she and her Eevee, Eons and Ditto walked out, “Don’t say it Morty!” she screamed back in.

“Girls…Sisters…Ugh…” he said just to get her mad.

He was surprised to get an electric jolt from Lovo.

*^~^**^~^*

“Hey Nurse Joy!” Eevy said as she led the parade of Pokemon into the Pokemon Center.

“Hello, Eevy!” Nurse Joy answered happily.

“Eevee! Eevee!” Lova called as she ran out of the back room.

“How has she been?” Eevy asked as she patted Lova’s head.

“Just perfect! She’s been a big help.”

“Good.”

“Excuse me,” a girl with aqua hair asked them from behind, “Can I put my poster in your window?”

“Go right ahead,” Nurse Joy answered.

“Thank you so much!” the aqua haired girl said happily as she ran to the window and stuck a somewhat small poster on the inside of the glass, “Come on Ditto!” she called as she ran out the door, “Thanks!”

“What’s that?” Eevy asked as she went outside to read the poster, “World’s One & Only Pokemon Imitation Act. Straight From The House of Imitae. Staring Duplica and Her All-Star Ditto,” Eevy stood thinking for a moment, “Let’s get everyone and go see!”

“Eevee eev!” Vovo cried.

*^~^**^~^*

“Hey! Look there, Ovos!” Eevy shouted as she pointed to Pro. Palm’s front door.

Standing in the front lot was the one and only Duplica. She was talking to Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu. They were acting like old friends.

“Hey, Ash!” Eevy shouted as she bolted over.

“Hi Eevy,” Ash said, “Have you met Duplica?”

“Very, very briefly,” Duplica said, “She was at the Pokemon Center when I was putting up my poster.”

“So, what am I missing here?” Eevy asked looking just as puzzled as her Pokemon.

“We met Duplica a long time ago when I was entering the Indigo League,” Ash answered.

“Oh. Ok. I thought I may have gotten lost in some time warp thing or something. I didn’t know that,” Eevy laughed, “I’m Eevy. From Rose Town.”

“Rose Town…Hmm…I’ve never been there. I’ll have to go sometime. I’m Duplica and this,” Duplica said hoisting Ditto up, “is Ditto!”

“Ditto dits!” Eevy’s Ditto cried.

“Well,” Eevy said picking up her Ditto, “This is Ditto too!”

“Duplica,” Misty asked, “are you performing here in Lily City?”

“Yeah, in just a few minutes.”

“I’d love to see the show!” Eevy said.

“Then let’s go!” Duplica shouted as she ran down the road.

*^~^**^~^*

They entered through the back of a large circus like tent. They were back stage of Duplica’s imitation stage.

“Eevy,” Duplica said, “How would you and your Ditto like to help me tonight?”

“What do you say, Ditto?” Eevy asked her Pokemon, “Sound good?”

“Ditto dits!”

“We accept! And thank you!” Eevy said.

“Go ahead on out guys and find a seat. We’ve got to get ready,” Duplica said.

“OK. Good luck!” everyone said as they walked around the stage.

“What happens is I say what I want the Ditto to be, and it does it. We can have a Ditto match up and your Ditto can test itself against my Ditto and stuff like that,” Duplica said.

“Alright. Let’s go!” Eevy said.

Duplica and her Ditto entered from the left and Eevy and her Ditto entered from the right. After Duplica had introduced the performance, she started the first act.

“Does anyone have a Pokemon they’d like to see mimicked?” Duplica asked.

“Mimic Pikachu!” Ash called out.

“Ok, send him on up,” Duplica said, “Ditto, Transform!”

Her Ditto did as it was told and changed to a perfect replica of Pikachu.

“Ok. Ditto, Pikachu, now!” Eevy said.

Her Ditto did the same and changed to another perfect replica of Pikachu.

After they had done a few more transformations like that, they moved on to the second act.

“How about some objects, Duplica? Can your Ditto do objects?” Eevy asked.

“Sure can! How about yours, Eevy?” Duplica asked back.

“You bet! Ditto, cannon!”

Her Ditto morphed into a cannon the size of Duplica.

“Ah! Well done,” Duplica said, “Give them a hand everybody!” she triggered a wave of applause.

“What about your Ditto, Duplica? What will it be?” Eevy asked.

“A cannon, Ditto, but bigger than that one!”

The two Dittos kept growing bigger and bigger in their cannon forms.

“Ok, stop Ditto!” Eevy’s Ditto froze its growth.

“You too Ditto!” Duplica’s Ditto did the same.

The duo continued with other tricks and some magic acts. After they finished and everyone was gone, Eevy’s Ditto was elated by the fun it had had.

“Your Ditto is great, Eevy!” Duplica said.

“Yours is too, Duplica!” Eevy answered.

“Why don’t you ask Duplica?” Brock asked, “Maybe she’ll do it.”

“Do what?” Duplica asked.

“I need someone to take care of one of my Pokemon, but I want it to have a really nice, caring trainer. The problem is I don’t want to get rid of any of them and I won’t leave them in a box.”

“Ditto, ditto, dits,” Duplica’s Ditto said as it tugged on her pant leg.

Eevy’s Ditto did the same to her.

“What Ditto?” Eevy asked as she neglected Dexter2.

The Ditto went on ‘Dittoing’ away.

“Hmm…What does she mean?” Eevy asked herself.

“Ditto dits!” it screeched.

“Ok, ok!” Eevy shouted pulling out Dexter2, “Translate!”

“Let me stay here! Please Eevy! Please!”

Vovo felt like keeling over. Eevy and Duplica gasped.

“Are you sure, Ditto? I may not be back for a long while,” Eevy asked.

Ditto nodded and Eevy stood up.

“Duplica,” Eevy asked, “Would you be interested in a second Ditto for your crew?”

“I’d be happy to! And when you come back, she’ll be better than ever!”

“You’re sure you want to do this, right?” Eevy asked Ditto again.

“Ditto dits,” she said sternly.

Vovo and Eevy watched their best friend crawl over to Duplica’s side. Vovo felt like he was shriveling into a ball. Eevy didn’t feel much better. She hated the thought of losing Ditto.

“I promise to take care of Ditto, Eevy,” Duplica said, “I won’t let anything happen to her.”

“Thanks again Duplica. Ditto, you listen to whatever Duplica and Ditto have to say.”

“Ditto. Ditto dits,” Ditto said.

“Bye Ditto! Be good!” Eevy shouted as she and Vovo headed back to Pro. Palm’s lab, “We’ve done the right thing, right?” she asked Vovo.

“Eevee eev eev eevee…” Vovo trailed off.

“Look at it this way, you’ll be able to spend time with all your boys and your daughter!”

“Eevee eevee.”

“You’re right. It isn’t all of them, is it…”

“Eevee eevee eev!” Vovo called as he jumped up on Eevy’s shoulder.

“You’re spoiled,” She laughed as they reached Pro. Palm’s door, “Tomorrow, the real adventure starts.”

In The Next Chronicle

Eevy meets Jenna, the Lily City Gym Leader, who is obsessed with Poison- type. With the camera rolling on her all the way through the match, will Eevy be able to overcome her first Gym battle? Will she show Jenna that all Pokemon matter and not just Poison? Find out soon in:

Poke-Poisonettes

Notes
I have such odd ideas floating around my head, don’t I? Anyway, in the next chapter, you’ll get a bit of a surprise. Poor little Ditto is all gone…Well, that’s the way things are sometimes. I know you’re going to ask, ‘Why is Ash heading AWAY from the Gym?’ Well that will be explained in the next chapter, so live until then. Yes, Yuu-Yuu will be traveling through the entire story, as will three other girls whose names shall remain unsaid for the time being. *clears her throat* Anywho…I should go work on the next chapter. Bye bye!
