Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

It was a close call, but no real danger.

Safe landing.

"Are you alright? Are you okay?"

The fossil pterosaur was completely bewildered.

Its eyes were fixed on Ash's face, which was so close to its own, its pupils filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Did this human just fly up... and catch me?

The pterosaur's eyes rolled, and then it seemed to finally come to its senses.

Using his unique method, he sensed Xiao Zhi's expression, and the confusion in Xiao Zhi's eyes quickly faded, replaced by raw shock.

So strong!

What an amazing human being!

It could sense the power hidden beneath its seemingly ordinary body, a power like a dormant volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

It stared intently at Ash's face, as if trying to confirm something.

Ash easily placed the Aerodactyl on the ground.

Although he was not standing very steadily, his eyes never left Ash.

"Ash, are you alright?"

Xiao Gang asked.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Xiao Zhi waved his hand, patted the dust off his clothes, and looked relaxed.

"Is this the legendary pterosaur that the old man was talking about?"

Xiaoxia asked in a low voice.

"The one that fought over 280 rounds against Hoenn Champion Steven?"

"It shouldn't be... right?" Brock looked the Pokémon up and down, his brow furrowed. "Its flying posture just now was like that of a beginner. And look at its eyes—"

What's wrong with your eyes?

Xiao Gang carefully considered his words.

"There's a kind of clear-eyed stupidity."

Xiaoxia: "..."

It seems there is some truth to that.

The three people were gathered around the fossil pterosaur, discussing it animatedly.

Just then, the fossil pterosaur suddenly let out a cry and its body began to tremble slightly.

What's wrong with it!?

Ash looked down and saw ripples spreading across the Aerodactyl's body, blurring, distorting, and becoming transparent in the ripples—

Then, in a soft glow, the fossil pterosaur's body began to shrink rapidly.

Its wings retracted, its sharp horns disappeared, its tail shortened, and its limbs became slender.

Just a few seconds later, what was standing on the ground was no longer a fossil pterosaur.

Instead, it's a little genius.

A completely identical Ash.

Same hairstyle, same eyes, same clothes... except for the absence of Pikachu, even the limited edition baseball cap is the same.

"Wh...what?!"

Xiaoxia's eyes widened and her mouth opened into an "O" shape.

"Pikachu?!"

Pikachu suddenly jumped back two steps, its fur standing on end.

It stared warily at the "second Zhi" in front of it, then cautiously approached and poked it with its little paw.

Warm.

It's soft.

Pikachu retracted its paw, gave a disgusted look, turned to look at the real Ash, and then at the imposter.

"Pikachu Pikachu".

It's limp and floppy; it doesn't look good at all.

He has absolutely no muscle!

"Xiao Zhi" tilted his head slightly after being poked. There was no malice in his replicated eyes, only pure curiosity and confusion.

Just then, a woman's voice came from the other side of the canyon, growing louder as it approached, carrying obvious anxiety.

"Don't run so fast! I can't keep up with you!"

A young woman appeared jogging from around the corner of the rock face.

She was probably in her early twenties.

She had long, smooth, light blue hair tied in pigtails, wore a simple white shirt and khaki trousers, and on her feet were a pair of dusty hiking shoes.

Although he was out of breath and running with great force, he exuded a refreshing and capable aura.

The young woman ran up to her, put her hands on her knees and took a few breaths, then looked up.

"Excuse me, have you seen a fossil pterosaur?"

The three of them looked at Ash Ketchum, number two.

Following their gaze, one could see a boy whose movements were strange and uncoordinated.

He was trying his best to imitate Ash's every move, looking towards an open space.

The newcomer was taken aback at first.

He immediately revealed an expression of "I knew it!"

"Oh dear... really."

She walked quickly over, stopped in front of "Xiao Zhi", and gently flicked its forehead.

"Why did you turn into someone else's appearance? Don't you know that this will cause trouble for others?"

The second Ash got flicked on the forehead, looked unhappy, and then hid behind Ash.

Pikachu, perched on Ash's shoulder, instinctively patted his head.

Xia, standing to the side: "..."

It's really weird, you know?

This scene is really strange!

Seeing this, Ash seemed to remember something.

An entity capable of transformation...

"Could this be... Ditto?"

The young woman looked up and smiled sheepishly.

"It's a Ditto, I'm so sorry it's caused you trouble."

She bowed slightly to the three of them.

Xia was filled with envy at the sight of her ample bosom.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Imetti, and I'm a stage actress."

Ash, however, had a different expression. Instead, he carefully examined the Ditto that had transformed into his own appearance with great interest.

"They look so alike! Even the patterns on their clothes are exactly the same!"

Ash reached out and tugged at the hem of the jacket that Ditto had transformed into.

"Pikachu!"

"But it seems you don't have my badge."

Ash showed him the badge pinned inside his clothes.

Ditto was shocked!

It quickly surged and forced out six badges.

He nodded in satisfaction.

"So... just now it roared on the rock wall, then lost its footing and fell... because it can't fly at all?"

Xiaoxia finally pieced together the whole story.

"Yes."

Imetti sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"Its favorite thing to do is to become the most powerful Pokémon it has ever seen."

This afternoon, I took it to the fossil park to see the legendary fossil pterosaur, but it got so excited that it ran away and disappeared.

When this was mentioned, Imetti paused for a moment.

She glanced at Ditto, then at Ash, her brow furrowing slightly as if she were pondering some difficult problem.

anyway.

My own shapeshifting... how did it turn into this boy's appearance?

161. Come on! Follow me inside!

While Ash, Misty, and Imetti were chatting enthusiastically, Brock, unusually, didn't join in.
