"Mo!"
Ditto answered excitedly, multicolored light appearing around him again.
But as Ye Qing and Monferno watched expectantly, something unexpected happened this time. The light around Ditto quickly faded, and he did not transform into Pidgey.

As they went back and forth like this, Ditto gradually reined in its little temper.
The rain kept falling outside. Full and satisfied, Monferno and Ditto lay snoring in the tent, while Ye Qing
