Characters in Episode: Current Episode Guide Info Correct? [No]
Ash, Brock, Misty, Pikachu, Duplica, Ash's Bulbasaur, Duplica's Ditto, Jessie, James, Meowth, James Weezing, Ash's Pidgeotto, Brock's Zubat

Written Biographies for Characters in Episode:
Duplica - {{Char=Duplica}} introduced herself as from the House of Imitay which is known for imitating. {{Char=Duplica}} likes to dress up and change into costumes so she can imitate people like {{Char=Jenny}} and {{Char=Joy}}. {{Char=Duplica}} explained to {{Char=Ash}} and his friends that she wants to become the greatest Ditto Master and a big star, not a Pokémon Master like {{Char=Ash}}. {{Char=Duplica}} is known for her perky and curious personality. She also has a large wardrobe of clothes that she uses as costumes so she can transform her looks.

When {{Char=Ash}} and his friends first met {{Char=Duplica}}, she was training her Ditto which was having problems transforming perfectly. Her Imitehouse theater wasn't getting any patrons because they didn't want to see a Ditto that couldn't transform perfectly. Team Rocket appeared and stole {{Char=D-Ditto}} and tried to get it to transform. It wasn't until {{Char=Meowth}} threatened to use its claw on {{Char=D-Ditto}} that it finally was able to transform properly. {{Char=D-Ditto}} tried to transform again and was able to transform perfectly from that point on.

{{Char=Duplica}} reopened the Imitehouse theater after her Ditto could transform perfectly in the hopes that passing travelers would visit and watch her act with her Ditto.

Duplica's Ditto - {{Char=Ash}} and his friends first encountered {{Char=D-Ditto}} when they ran into Imitehouse to get out of the rain. {{Char=Ash}}'s attention quickly turned to a 'Pikachu' noise behind him and he was surprised to see another Pikachu beside his own {{Char=Pikachu}}. {{Char=Misty}} thought the 'Pikachu' was cute and she picked it only to be surprised by its odd looking face. {{Char=Misty}} quickly dropped {{Char=D-Ditto}} as she didn't know what's wrong with the Pikachu. {{Char=Brock}}'s first reaction was that it was new kind of Pikachu after he examined it and {{Char=Ash}} tried to capture it but {{Char=Duplica}} stopped him by throwing a Poke ball at his Poke ball.

{{Char=Duplica}} was training her Ditto which was having problems transforming perfectly. Her Imitehouse theater wasn't getting any patrons because they didn't want to see a Ditto that couldn't transform perfectly. Team Rocket appeared and stole {{Char=D-Ditto}} and tried to get it to transform. It wasn't until {{Char=Meowth}} threatened to use its claw on {{Char=D-Ditto}} that it finally was able to transform properly. {{Char=D-Ditto}} tried to transform again and was able to transform perfectly from that point on.

{{Char=D-Ditto}} can also transform into objects, not just Pokémon. It has been seen transforming into a book, a picture and a canon.
