Back at Gary�s shindig
�Stupid Dratini!! I want my Porygon back!! You won�t evolve, you�re useless.� Gary shouted as he kicked the Dratini across the room. Dratini looked sadly down at the ground. A tear slid down its cheek. �I�ve upset my trainer. I must be the scum of the universe.� Dratini thought. But all that came out was a sobbing �Drat Drat.� Gary picked the Dratini up and put it in the sink. �I�m leaving you here. Learn to swim on your own.� Gary told it, walking into the living room and turning on some Smash Mouth music.
One hour later
A golden glow shrouded Dratini�s body, as he changed form and identity. �Dratini! Did you learn to swim yet�� Gary asked, but trailed off as he stood in horror at the new Pokemon that stared at him. �DRAGONAIR!!!� he shouted, throwing his arms around its neck. Dragonair was finally satisfied, his trainer was no longer mad.
At Ash�s shrine
�Porygon, do you evolve?� Ash asked. �Pory.� it replied. �Well let�s try some stones. Water stone?� Ash asked. Nothing in particular happened. �Fire stone?� he tried again. No effect. �Thunder stone�� Ash asked. His mouth dropped open. He tried to scream, but nothing came out. Did Porygon evolve? Ash thought as Porygon changed shape. �WOAH!! PORYGON EVOLVED!!� Ash exclaimed loudly....
�But into WHAT??� he said, pulling out his Pokedex. �CloDitto.� it said. �CloDitto? That can�t be right.� he scratched his head, shaking the Pokedex. �Please don�t shake me. Let me finish. Your Pokemon has evolved into CloDitto, the evloved form to both Ditto and Porygon.� the Pokedex finished. �Woah!! Wait until Gary sees this!!�
Viridian training school
He met Gary at trainer school the next day. �Gary, you won�t belive this but the Porygon you traded me went and evolved.� Ash said. �Uh-huh. And the Raichu I traded the old man at Cinnibar Lab evolved into a Nidoking.� he replied in disbelief. �Look!!� Ash exclaimed, pulling CloDitto from behind his back. �That�s very nice, Ash. Eat this. Dratini evolved into Dragonair and will whip your CloDitto�s sorry tushie.� Gary replied, without remorse. �Oh really? I�d like to see it try, Mr. Goody Two-Shoes.� Ash insulted.
So the battle began. CloDitto started out with a mega kick, which Dragonair easily dodged. The graceful Dragon excuded a gentle aroura beam, which knocked CloDitto over to the �Mankey Bars� and back. �It�s over, Ash. It has fainted.� Gary bragged in victory. Amazingly, CloDitto got to it�s feet and used quick attack, which barely scratched Dragonair. Dragonair finished CloDitto off with hydro pump, and tragically, CloDitto fainted. Ash�s head hung down. He wanted to cry, but he couldn�t since his friends were watching.
Cerulean City Pokemon center
After school, Ash healed CloDitto at Cerulean Pokemon Center. �That is one amazing Pokemon. You must be the center of attention at your school.� Nurse Joy said with pleasure. �More like laughing stock of the school.� Ash murmured.
Ash�s shrine
By the next day, his Charmeleon had reached level 36, and evolved into Charizard. His moves were: Fire blast, Flamethrower, Fire spin, and Ember. At the dinner table, all Ash would talk about was his new Charizard, how powerful it was, and how much he loved it. �Clo? Ditto?� CloDitto asked. In english, he meant, �Do you still love me?� Ash stuck a hand over CloDitto�s mouth. �Yeah, yeah, I know you�re a CloDitto.� Ash told it.
�Anyway, today Charizard beat a Blastoise, Venusaur, Nidoqueen, Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Electabuzz, Dugtrio, Nidoking, Alakazam, Machamp, Gengar, Golem and Raichu.� he blabbed on about Charizard. A tear dripped down CloDitto�s face. Charizard picked him up and hugged him. Lord, at least Charizard was his FRIEND. If they had been the least bit enemies, Charizard would have scorched the living daylights out of ol� CloDitto by now.
CloDitto pushed Charizard�s loving face away. He ran out of the doggie door for Arcade, Ash�s Arcaninne. He bolted into the bushes and over the rocks.
2 hours later
�CloDitto, here boy!! CloDitto!! Time to eat!!� Ash yelled, clutching a flashlight in his hands. �Go away.� CloDitto thought as he hid in a Sandslash�s hole. �You never cared. I hate you.� he added to his mind.
Ash sobbed. A tear caught in his eye. He uttered a low, sad moan. �I can�t belive he�s turned on me.� he cried, as sad as a Gloom. �I don�t ever wanna hear the word CloDitto again.� he muttered before returning to his house.
�This is bad.� CloDitto said. �I need training. And fast.� he added, zooming across the street.
Power Plant
Soon after hours of running, CloDitto reached his stop, the power plant, home of the best half-trainer-half-Pokemon. He knocked on the door. �Name, please.� the robotic voice commanded. �CloDitto, evolved form of Ditto and Porygon.� he answered. �Access, denied.� the voice said. �But Nitros, it�s me, CloDitto!!� CloDitto begged. �Access, denied.� Nitros replied. �Helloooooooo!! It�s-a me-a, Mario!! Or should I say, CloDitto!!� CloDitto remarked, starting to turn red as a beet. �Let him in, Nitros.� a blunt, shadowy reply drifted out. CloDitto sighed a sigh of relief, as the door opened and Nitros, the �Robot Magneton� stopped his whining. �Thanx, Electabuzz.� CloDitto said. �Anytime, slugger.� Electabuzz replied.
CloDitto raced up the stairs. �Raichu? Raichu? You there, Raichu?� he called through the halls. �I�m coming!!� came the voice from one of the rooms. As quick as you can say �Go Pokeball�, Raichu bolted across the hall. �Hiya, CloDitto. Can you be helped?� Raichu asked. �Yeah, I need some TM�s and Rare Candies.� he answered. Raichu stood half in the dark and half in the light. You could see her wavy thunderbolt tail, and all of the normal Raichu features, except she had a scar below her right eye. She got that scar from battling a Victreebell, when she was 10. As long as she lived, she had never let go of that memory, the first battle she had lost.
�Okay, follow me!!� she signalled. She led CloDitto to a room full of items, all of which Raichu had found on her Pokemon journey. She was a Pokemon, but trained other ones as teams. It was pretty strange, a Raichu beating the Elite Four with her captured Pokemon, but true. Raichu had once been a human. But when she was 6, a nuclear gas leak effected her body, and she was transformed into a Raichu, and started living at the abandoned Power plant.
�You can take seven at the most.� Raichu said. �Hmmmm, TM15, Hyperbeam, TM13, Ice beam, TM11, Bubblebeam, TM22, Solarbeam, the new CM01, Aroura beam, CM02, Psybeam, and CM03, FireBeam.� he pointed out. �Okay. You can have them free, since I have more.� Raichu replied.
Ash�s shrine
CloDitto crept back to Ash�s house. After he learned all of those different types of beams, he was strong. He curled up on Ash�s math book and went to sleep.
�Hey, CloDitto�s back!!� Ash yelled happily that morning. CloDitto slid off Ash's math book and near to the Pokedex. He flipped it on with his sticky paw. �CloDitto. Don�t interrupt me, this time, Ash. Moves: Aroura beam, Ice beam, Hyperbeam, Solarbeam, Psybeam, Bubblebeam and FireBeam.� the Pokedex bleeped. �WOAH!! WHAT IN CHAOS EMERALDS DID YOU DO?! That Dragonair of Gary�s is fair game as far as you�re concerned!!!� Ash yelled surprisedly. �But, should we bring Charizard along�just in case?� Ash asked. CloDitto nodded. Charizard blushed. �Thanx, kid, thanx.� Charizard thought.
Viridian training school
When they arrived at Pokemon training school, they discovered Gary�s Dragonair wasn�t still a Dragonair. �Haha, if it isn�t Ash!!� Gary cackled. �Look, it�s a giant talking egg!� Ash blabbed back. �Silence, my Dragonair has evolved, has it not? Well well, the Ditto has some new moves, eh? Shave off my hair and call me Gramps.� Gary cackled some more. �Whatever you say, Eggman!! And by the way, Prof. Oak isn�t bald.� Ash replied. �Shut your trap.� Gary smirked. �You�re always playing too much �Mischief Makers�. Now what�ya want?� Ash asked. �I want all of your badges, when you lose to my Dragonite at recess!! Better not interfere!! OR ELSE!!� Gary ordered. �Or else what, ya big loser?� Ash yelled back. �Or else I�ll take them from you by force, the hard way!!� Gary yelled, putting up a fist.
Trainer class was pretty boring. The two Pokemon, Charizard and CloDitto watched the lessons from the classroom window. �Class, what is the square route of Charmeleon?� �Charizard!!� the children cried out. Charizard giggled. Gary smirked to Ash from the other side of the room, holding up a picture of Dragonite that he had drew. �Magnemite plus two?� �Magneton!!� the class yelped loudly. Aaaannnnndddd sssssooooo ooooonnnnn.
�Oooh, Gary wants to battle, huh? You die today!!� Ash exclaimed. �Actually, slugger, it�s the other way around!!� Gary shouted as the battle began. CloDitto started off with FireBeam, which burned Dragonite as well as taking some damage. Dragonite used skull bash and missed, since the burn was severe. CloDitto used Aroura beam, which took 10 HP from Dragonite. Dragonite tried his luck with hydro pump, and that left CloDitto with 8 HP left. CloDitto used Ice beam, and though it froze Dragonite solid, he broke out.
Dragonite had 75 HP left. CloDitto used Psybeam, and Dragonite�s 75 HP was now 47 HP. Dragonite used body slam on poor CloDitto, which left him with one quarter or a HP left. CloDitto tried out Solarbeam. after he took in some sunlight, Solarbeam was at hand. Dragonite�s health points were 22 HP, CloDitto�s at 1/4 HP. Dragonite used wing attack and knocked CloDitto unconscious. �Ha ha, I win again, Ash!! Hand over your badges�� Gary trailed of as he saw the huge Charizard tower above Ash. �Like I was saying, uhh, hehe....you�re cool, Ash....you�re my, uhh...hero!!� Gary said in a tiny voice. �Charizard, flamethrower, NOW!!� Ash ordered. Charizard spewed his fire and flames at Dragonite. Dragonite�s eyes widened with disbelief, as the flames bolted over his body, leaving him with a negative 100 HP.
Ash threw his hands up in triumph, as CloDitto amazingly got back to his feet and hugged Charizard. They had won. After losing many times, they ad finally won. Brock and Mist ran up to them. �Hi five, Ash?� Brock asked, holding up a hand. �Yeah, Brock, yeah.� Ash replied, slapping his hand against Brock�s. Misty threw her arms around him. �I KNEW you could do it!!� she shouted happily, kissing him on the cheek. His eyes turned into hearts and he fell unconscious. �Until next time, folks!!� Charizard said, as he lifted off with CloDitto on his head and Ash (knocked out) Misty (huddled up near Ash) and Brock (covering his eyes) on his back.
