Ho-Oh.
A Legendary Pokémon steeped in myth.
And yet, a Ditto had successfully transformed into one.
That should have been theoretically impossible.
Even with a real Ho-Oh nearby as a reference, no Ditto should have been able to transform successfully.

At that moment, a phantom rainbow appeared behind "Ho-Oh."
