"Oh, good!" Merlin told them from inside a trolley. "Not a moment too soon, my friends."
"Yeah!" Akito remarked. "We got the job done!"
Merlin soon fought an enemy who was off-screen. "I've recovered a portion of the Crystal of the Magic Kingdom, but, Hades's minions are in hot pursuit."
"Of course they are." Zofia sighed.
"When are they NOT?" LJ snapped.
"Contact Pongo, and I'll check in with you as soon as I can." Merlin told them.
"Pongo?!" Akito and Estelle gasped.
"Must be Patch's dad!" LJ replied.
"It is!" Estelle nodded. "Scruffy and Dot's grandfather too!"
"Our pet dogs." Akito added.
We are soon shown the adult male Dalmatian who barked to them.
"Oh, hi, Pongo, it's nice to see you too!" Estelle smiled to him.
"Hi, there!" LJ waved.
Pongo barked to them and Akito and Estelle understood him, though Creepie didn't seem to question why for some reason.
"Uh, I don't think I speak 'Dog'." Creepie said to LJ and Zofia.
"Long story." LJ replied.
"Okay, Pongo, what's going on?" Akito asked.
Pongo soon barked to them to explain what was happening.
"Henchmen chasing are chasing you, but the next generation of the 101 Dalmatians are in hiding from Cruella deVil?" Estelle replied.
Pongo barked with a nod.
"Of course." LJ replied.
"Cruella deVil, huh?" Creepie asked.
"She's an enemy from a long time ago," Zofia told her new friend. "She even has her own song."
"It basically talks about how much she stinks." LJ replied.
"So I see..." Creepie replied.
"You idiots! I don't care if you have to break into every house in this miserable town!" Cruella's voice snapped. "Find me those puppies!"
"She's also incredibly impatient." LJ added.
"I'll have them for my Dalmatian fur coat, or it'll be your hides instead of theirs!" Cruella snapped to Horace and Jasper.
Pongo soon continued to bark to the others.
"Cruella's arrival has caught the attention of Boss Teal?" Akito asked before glaring. "Hades..."
"And he's making a deal with her to get the crystal, right?" asked LJ.
"Sounds about right to me." Creepie said to them.
"Name's Teal, Underworld Crime Boss," Hades said to Cruella. "Overheard your little pep talk: threats, insults, break-ins. Very inspirational. So, seeing as I'm taking over this town, I'd like to make you an offer."
A sign with the words "Big Offer!" appears on the Main Street picture.
"Help me 'acquire' Merlin's Crystal of the Magic Kingdom, and I'll give you those Dalmatians." Hades then told Cruella.
"Hokey as hokey can get," Akito remarked. "Maybe we can find some Pokémon!"
"Oh, dear! They're plotting to steal the crystal piece under cover of the fireworks show," Merlin frowned. "You've got to stop Cruella and her men!"
"We will!" Estelle promised.
Pongo soon barked to them.
"Don't worry, we'll save your descendants and grandpuppies." Estelle told Pongo.
"You can count on us!" LJ saluted with a thumb's-up.
"Yes, yes," Merlin nodded. "Find this portal nearby, then use your Sorcerer's Key, Pongo will guide you, and it looks like Akito and Estelle can help you with the language barrier." he then added.
"All right then, let's go see this Cruella deVil about those dogs." Creepie narrowed her eyes.
"Aye-aye!" LJ nodded.
They soon went off to the next location.
Horace and Jasper were soon shown at work together.
"Oh, I don't like the looks of this." Merlin's voice stated.
"Me neither," LJ replied. "Those Scratch and Grounder wannabes are setting up those fireworks!"
"Only a few more strays to catch." Horace smirked as he took out a bone out of his jacket and places it in the trap with an evil chuckle.
"Not so far, Jasper!" Akito and Estelle glared.
"Blimey! Oh. It's you're from Merlin's gang, but I ain't fallin' for any of your magic tricks, I'm not!" Jasper glared back.
"I cast...WATER SPOUT!" LJ boomed, holding up a card. "I'm not gonna explain what it does because this isn't Yu-Gi-Oh, but it's still pretty funny!"
Jasper soon shot a flare, but since it was water vs fire, he was soon soaked.
"Looks like you're all wet," LJ replied. "And these fireworks...they're completely useless now!"
"Ah, you think you're so clever even if I am all wet!" Jasper glared, stepping back before yelping as he was hoisted up by his own trap.
"Great work! Oh. Only Jasper and Horace already have some of the town dogs locked in those stables!" Merlin told them. "Pongo's gone to help. You've got to save them! Here's the portal you are looking for. You better get tracking."
"Got it!" LJ replied. "And I have the right card for the job!"
They soon rushed down that way.
A chubby golden retriever was shown with a young adult Dalmatian with a pink nose, wearing a pink collar.
"Those dogs... I think it's... Oddball and Budderball!" Akito smiled.
"Oh, cool!" LJ exclaimed.
Oddball and Budderball barked frantically.
"What? Huh? Hey, slow down!" Akito said. "One at a time, I can't understand you when you talk at once like that."
Oddball whimpered before barking to Akito over what happened.
"Pongo was taken by Cruella!" Akito then told the others.
"Then let's go save him!" Zofia replied.
Hades and Cruella were soon shown in a kennel together.
"We couldn't even get near the Crystal what with these dreadful beasts." Cruella said to the evil being.
"Yeah, not a dog lover. I get that, but, hey, looks like your little kennel here fixes the pooch problem," Hades replied. "So let's talk plans for tonight's 'show'. Walk with me. Eh, carefully."
"Now to bust 'em out." LJ grinned.
"Horace, get rid of those wretched animals!" Cruella demanded.
An injured Horace walked in, holding a piece of wood threateningly, giving the dogs an evil look.
"You've got to free the dogs!" Merlin told the young ones. "Use the Sorcerer's Crest. Remember on the back of your spell cards. Yes... Yes... hurry!"
"Free at last! FREE AT LAST!" Creepie called out as she used the card to free the puppies.
The cards glowed, and the dogs were sent flying free from their kennel prisons. The Dalmatian puppies all soon broke out of their open cages and pounced onto Horace who didn't stand a chance.
"Help!" Horace cried out in misfortune.
Oddball looked around and soon ran into her grandfather with a smile since he was okay now.
"Reunited and it feels so good!" Creepie smirked.
Oddball barked to that.
"Uh...?" Creepie blinked.
"She said 'true that'." Estelle told the girl.
Creepie nodded.
"Oh! Down boy. Down," Merlin told Pongo who was happy and thankful to be saved. "Thank goodness you're all right. Good show, my friends! Unfortunately, you've yet to face Cruella. You need to find her in the next portal here. Then stop Cruella, before it's too late!"
Oddball soon growled about Cruella.
"We hate her too, Oddball, don't worry, we're going to help." Estelle promised.
LJ and Zofia nodded in agreement.
They soon went right after Cruella as she seemed to be the final obstacle along with Hades of course.
"Your game is over, de Vil!" LJ exclaimed in a Yugi Moto voice.
"Boss Teal's little fireworks display should make it all too easy to lay hold of that Crystal. Then those Dalmatians will finally be mine!" Cruella beamed to herself before she soon noticed the group. "Oh, please, darling. Why, there's about as much chance of you stopping me with your parlor tricks as there is of me puling a rabbit from this hat." she then took out a top hat from the nearby shelf and pulled a Bunnelby out of her hat.
"A Wabbit!" LJ exclaimed. "Imma catch it!"
Cruella soon put the Bunnelby back in her hat before looking for something to hit them with.
"Thumper's Mighty Thump, I choose you!" Zofia called out, playing her next card to send Cruella packing.
The ground shook wildly as the rabbit began thumping his foot.
"You don't stand a chance now that I have the power of-" Cruella soon glared once she shook that off before she then realized what she was holding. "A chew toy?" She squeezes it and it squeaks. The vault opens to reveal a number of chew toys. She screams in anger. "Outsmarted by dogs?! No! No!" she then broke down crying.
"All right, now it's time to use a spell card to finish her off!" Creepie told the others.
"Alrighty then. I summon: RIGHTEOUS STOMP!" LJ exclaimed, pulling out a card.
Cruella screamed from the card's use and her coat was all messed up and her hair was frizzled. "No! Look what you've done to my beautiful fur coat!" she soon had a tantrum until she fell through the floor, screaming, and landed with a crash.
"Cruella! Heard you shouting. What, was that the signal?" Hades called out as he soon walked in. "Whoa! Look what you've done to the place, huh? The chaos, the destruction. Nice touch. Anyway, the little fireworks diversion is working like a charm. So let's have that Crystal. What do you say? Hello? Anybody?"
"Get me out of here, you idiot!" Cruella's voice called out.
"No sign of her nasty niece or nauseating nephew." LJ noted.
"Thank goodness." Akito and Estelle sighed in relief from that.
"Didn't even know she HAD a nephew," LJ added. "I was just guessing."
"One of Dad's worst enemies," Estelle said. "He kidnapped Dad as a baby and tried to date Aunt Jessica to distract her."
"That's nauseating." LJ remarked.
"At least he found his match made in not heaven, I guess." Akito rolled his eyes.
"Who?" Zofia wondered.
"Victoria Varner... Probably best known as Icky Vicky." Estelle replied.
"Double evil," LJ remarked. "I hope they get their butts kicked."
"Well done, my young sorcerers!" Merlin told the group. "Thanks to you, Oddball, Budderball, and the puppies had just enough time to switch the chew toys for the Crystal piece before Cruella got here. Now the Dalmatians and the Crystal are safe from Cruella. Unfortunately, Hades is still recruiting villains to help him overrun the Magic Kingdom. We could always use more help if you're able."
"Leave it to us!" LJ remarked.
"Let's get goin' then." Creepie said.
Zofia and Creepie smiled as they seemed to become best friends. LJ smiled at that.
