The next morning, Ben had woken up early. He was helping T-Force pack some supplies for the trip back to Vice Versa. He knew he needed to go home and pack a few things of his own.

Nala was looking over the small sacks of supplies and goods for the trip back home. During there time here on Earth, T-Force had found some rather rare items and they thought about selling them at the Kelcheon market back in Treasure Town to cover for the Queen's loan to their team to fund the expidetion to Earth.

" I'm looking forward to going back home again. Even though we had a lot of fun here on Earth, there is nothing like that great feeling of coming back home. " Gnaw said with excitement. It had been a full year since the team left their home planet to search and prove the rumors that the son of Arceus was alive were true. Now they completed their task, they were ready to head back home. Ben had agreed to come along, but he first had prepare himself for the trip.

[Tennyson Household]

"And that's why I have to go to Vice Versa…"

Ben had just finished explaining to his Grandpa Max, Gwen, Kevin, and his parents, what had transpired over the last few days, including him gaining new powers.

" Ben, would it be okay if you showed us what your Arceus Armor looks like?" Gwen asked her cousin, her curiosity was at its peak when Ben mentioned he could now summon his own suit of armor.

Ben grinned a little at the Anodite hybrid as his Arceus birthmark began to glow. Gwen and those present were stunned when they saw a great flash of golden light surround him before fading, and revealing Ben in his Arceus Armor.

"There has to be at least level four technology in your armor! Wicked Wing-blades Ben! They appear to be Galvin design." Kevin was talking to himself as he checked out Ben's armor like the latest model of a car.

Gwen was sniggering at her boyfriend as Ben just rolled his under his helmet armor. Kevin could be so weird sometimes! "So Ben, what else can you do with that armor?" Gwen asked her cousin, wondering what else Ben could do.

" I'm still learning more about what my armor can do, and Cody is giving me more lessons on controlling it. " Ben explained, and Gwen nodded. "So, how long are you and your new team going to be on Vice Versa?" Sandra Tennyson, Ben's mother, asked her son.

"A couple of weeks. I'll be spending some time with the Queen of Vice Versa, as according to legend, the son of Arceus is destined to protect the Royal Raichu Bloodline." Ben clarified.

" Wow, that sounds pretty intense." Kevin articulated. " How hard can it be? Besides, your talking to the same sixteen year old who stopped the Highbreed Invasion, defeated the Incursion Empire, has beaten the Forever Knights so many times I've lost count, and defeated Vilgax in hand-to-hand." Ben bragged, and Gwen could feel the grin under Ben's armored head.

" Ben, I'm proud of you. You've come such a long way from the little infant I brought home from the hospital to the young man you are today." Sandra said with affection laced through her warm tone. Ben smiled fondly at his mother, as she hugged him tightly, and he hugged her back.. "And I'm proud to be your son…mom." Ben said warmly to her, making her tear up a little.

The two separated from their loving embrace. Ben deactivated his armor as he went up to his room, to check over his supplies as he nodded with approval after he finished packing and zippered up his duffel bag. closed.

He settled in for the night, getting ready for bed as his mother gently knocked on his door. " Yeah mom?" Ben inquired, slightly curious as to what his mother wanted. She opened the door slightly ajar, her soft, soothing tone calming his body down " Ben, just come safely. That's all I ask. And don't forget who you are, don't become split between your human side and your Pokemon side. That's all I ask." She then closed the door softly, a faint smile gracing her lips.

Little to the Tennyson's knowledge, this was just the calm before the storm.
