Ditto in Zamunda – A bucket full of water… Elementals?

Ditto finished showing the water elementals who is boss, having defeated a whole bunch of them. Once he has completed his final battle, he is able to – I kid you not – put the water elementals in a bucket and use them to put out the fire!
I know the water elementals are trying to beat me up and everything, sure, but this just seems cruel and unusual… well, it’s definitely unusual!
Ditto finally completes the quest and heads back to town to see what’s next…
