Almost there!
Sorry for my inactivity, I've been pretty busy lately, but thanks to Meyu, I might be able to finish up by the end of this month maybe even sooner, depending on how long it takes to properly research for my thesis paper about the connections between Mew, Mewtwo, and Ditto. It had to be a theory to work, which is fine as long as I do proper research.
Speaking of which I had a chat with Gladion, wo agreed to help me out on this by checking the files the Aether Paradise had on Ditto and Mew, and in the process we found Meyu's files too. I've been using this as the basis for my research, along with a friend's ditto(whom I was pokesitting for) and Meyu when he's willing to help out.
Aside from what we already know of the similarities, I looked over genomes, and found quite a few similarities between Meyu, Ditto, and the Mew DNA Gladion forwarded me from the lab where he found Meyu's files. Considering this, I wanted to do more research on behavioral similarities and the way they might interact.
I started by recording the behavior both of Ditty(my friend's Ditto) and Meyu, comparing and contrasting between the two, as well as comparing it to the theorized behavior of Mew and the original or first Mewtwo. Meyu at first seemed confused by Ditty, who was cheerful and friendly, even transforming into Meyu to better interact and communicate with him, easily falling into taking advantage of Mewtwo's psychic abilities, which he seemed to fall into using much more easily than other typings, he became especially adept at telepathy and telekinesis, and seemed to enjoy flying around.
The two easily fell into a friendship, and I decided to try testing Ditty's abilities more.
Ditty, as Meyu, was much weaker, but just as adept with his abilities, which I tested through various puzzles and challenges, across a few different psychic-type Pokémon. Ditty appeared to do best when transformed into Meyu, seeming to have a much better grasp of his powers.
I decided to try having Ditty transform into Mew from a picture, which they managed to do flawlessly. Ditty seemed to handle themself very well in this form, doing much better on all the puzzles and tests(I used it's normal form as a sontrol for physical testing, and used Kadabra as a control/baseline for psychic tests, though I did multiple Pokemon for each just to make sure I had enough data), but couldn't seem to hold a form, no matter what Pokemon, for any longer than the average Ditto, though Ditty did seem most comfortable as a Mew.
Later on that week, I decided to do a test to see how accurately Ditty could transform from memory, having had it transform for testing all in one day. I asked them to try transforming into the same Pokemon I had it test as from memory, explaining it as a game to see how good it could do. Ditty was eager to try, though they did make a good number of mistakes, usually on details like color or pattern, sometimes proportions would be off, but she did alright all things considered. Then I had Ditty attempt to transform into Meyu, which ended up being the most accurate one at that point, but I couldn't be sure that it wasn't because Ditty had just been doing it a lot recently. So I asked it to turn into Mew again, which it had only done and seen once.
I was shocked when Mew ended up being the most accurate transformation by memory, recording a video and making sure to take pictures(I took a lot). The only inaccuracy was the color, being a noticeably bit more purple than pink.
Safe to say, I've got a very good shot at winning against everyone else in the research thesis contest, after all, winner gets to graduate early, and Meyu helping me out with the research has increased my chances, though the fact I did this on a legendary I happen to own won't get me bonus points, after all, we want legitimate Pokemon professors who put time and effort into their research, and make sure the Pokemon they're studying are alright with it or aren't affected by it.
Speaking of which, Ditty actually belongs to my friend Daniel, who I made sure was okay with me doing this, and I made sure Ditty was okay with it too. Meyu wouldn't have helped if he didn't want to, so therefore he was alright with it. Plus I asked all of them at least five times if they were alright with it.
