It was nice afternoon at Neo-City as we head towards the Vanguard Academy, here we see tons of students walking around the academy grounds either having a conversation or doing something else.
Kazuichi Souda is seen walking around carrying a box filled with scrap metals and equipment, we then see Erza Scarlet and Kagura Mikazuchi walking around having a conversation while passing-by Guy Cecil and Hisui Hearts having a conversation. Meanwhile, we see Brent Dark, Nicco Bondarev and Tucker Noble doing a graffiti at a nearby hall and we see Gundam Tanaka sitting under a tree meditating while Luna Loud is seen lying down on a tree branch listening to music.
At the school footsteps, we see the Rainbooms sitting there. Rarity Belle was filing her nails, Rainbow Dash is playing a game on her device, Applejack sat on the ground looking up at the rising sun as the clouds began to part away, Pinkie Pie is playing around with her balloons by making them into different types of animals, Fluttershy feeds her animals that are in her backpack while Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle having a conversation.
Just inches away to the girls' right, we see Geo Stelar, Sonia Strumm and Luna Platz having a conversation with Dan Kusou taking a drink of water from a drinking fountain behind them and to the girls' left, we see Alain sitting on a bench, reading a book.
"So, what it's like hanging out with the Science and Research Department?'' Sunset asked.
"It was great!" Twilight replied with a smile, "I've been gaining a lot of knowledge that I never thought existed! Plus, the people there are really nice! They maybe workaholics at times but they know when to have fun." she stated, "Though... I feel uncomfortable with them at times." she admitted.
"Why is that?" Sunset asked in surprise.
Twilight rubs her left arm, "They often... accidentally would refer to me as 'Midnight' at times.'' she replied.
Sunset was taken aback, "What?!" she gasped, "How did they know about that?" she asked, "Don't they know that's a very sensitive subject to you?'' she pointed out.
Twilight tips her glasses, "Actually... they're all aware about it." she clarified, "It's just... that they often mistaken me of another person.'' she explained.
Sunset gave her a confused look, "What? What do you mean by that?'' she asked.
Twilight let's out a sigh, "It turns out that I have a counterpart that is a member of the Science and Research Department and I don't mean, Princess Twilight, I'm talking about another version of me from another dimension who happens to have the name, Midnight Sparkle." she explained.
Sunset was taken aback once more, "Are you serious?'' she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Twilight shrugs her shoulders, "Wish I was, Sunset, wish I was." she admitted, "But the guys showed me several photos of her, proving that they're not kidding." she explained.
"I see..." Sunset said still in disbelief, "So... what is she like? You know? From the other's perspective?" she asked out of curiosity and awkwardness.
Twilight pursed her lips, "They never really stated what she's like but judging by the disturbed look on their faces when I asked, I get a feeling that she's not a decent person.'' she stated.
Sunset grimaced, "Okay... if that we're true, then she's the only Twilight that I don't wanna meet." she admitted.
"You and I both." Twilight replied in agreement.
As this is going on, we see Denki Kaminari running across the entrance path before stopping by the middle.
"Hey, everyone!" Denki called out getting everyone's attention, "I've got great news from Alola!" he claimed, "Ash Ketchum won the Alolan League! He is officially a Pokemon Master now!" he announced in glee.
Upon hearing the announcement, everyone burst into a loud cheer of joy now knowing that their friend has finally attained his longtime goal.
Geo then turns to Sonia, Luna and Dan with a smile, "I knew Ash is going to win!" he claimed, "I say we go to Alola right now and congratulate him!" he suggested, earning nod from the three.
As Geo, Sonia, Luna and Dan left the area, we see Shun Kazami approaching Alain at the bench, "Looks like Ash's hard work finally pays off." Shun mused, "What do you think, Alain?'' he asked, "Alain?'' he called when the Pokemon Trainer didn't reply.
Shun turns to Alain and saw him had his left hand covering his mouth while tears are streaming down his face, "Ash... I always knew you were the better trainer...'' he cried in joy.
Shun looks at him in surprise before smiling, "How about we go and meet him?'' he suggested.
Alain then wipes the tears off his face, "Yeah... I would like to do that." he admitted.
And with that, Shun and Alain left the place before the scene cuts to Stephan and Kafuu hanging by a nearby tree with the latter sitting by it's roots.
Stephan has his arms crossed with a grin on his face, "Finally! Ash did it!" he exclaimed in excitement, "It was a bummer that Ash lost the Unova and Kalos League but now, I can't help but be happy of what friend has accomplished!" he stated, "What do you think, Kafuu?" he asked.
Kafuu then took of his sunglasses but instead of his usual creepy eyes, he sports two sincere blue orbs alongside a proud smile, "My cousin has always been a loser.'' he pointed out while wiping off his sunglasses, "Always being skrewed by destiny, an unfair Pokemon Trainer or some cosmic being that really likes to mess with Ash." he stated, "But now...'' he said before putting back on his shades, "... things are different.'' he declared with a smile.
Stephan nodded, "Yeah." he replied in agreement.
Meanwhile with the Rainbooms, they were surprised by the sudden celebration, they don't know Ash Ketchum that much but they're still glad of what he just recently accomplished.
"Wow! Never thought that everyone would get so worked up over someone winning some sort of league." Rainbow commented in awe.
Sunset then spoke, "From what I heard from Indigo, Pokemon Battles are extremely popular to where Ash Ketchum came from." she explained, "It's popularity would then extend over here and since Ash is part of the Coalitions, it's understandable that everyone are happy about his recent accomplishment.'' she stated.
Fluttershy spoke, "Oh... I'm glad for them but I'm not really a fan of Pokemon Battles." she admitted.
"Well... that's understandable." Rainbow spoke, "Pokemons are kinda like animals, so of course, seeing them get hurt doesn't sit well for you.'' she pointed out.
Then Pinkie Pie stood up, "Oh! Oh! Oh! How about we throw a party for him?!" she suggested in excitement, "You know to celebrate his one-of-a-kind victory!" she exclaimed.
"That's a marvelous idea, Pinkie Pie." Rarity said in agreement, "I'm sure the boy will be delighted about it.'' she claimed.
Pinkie let's out a squee, "Eee! I'm so gonna talk about this with the rest of the Party Committee, right now!" she exclaimed, "Be right back!" she said before zipping away from the group.
Fluttershy then spoke, "Oh... I hope Pinke Pie doesn't go overboard with this.'' she muttered in concern.
Rarity chuckled, "Don't worry, Fluttershy.'' she spoke, "Princess Regan and New Day Jose will make sure that Pinkie won't go overboard.'' she reassured.
Twilight then spoke, "You know... these Pokemons really piqued my interests.'' she admitted, "Maybe, I should try and become a Pokemon Trainer myself.'' she claimed.
"Well... if that's what you want, then I say go for it." Sunset egged with a smile.
Twilight smiled back, "Thanks." she replied.
Bzzzttt...
Meanwhile at the Training Camp, we see Indigo Zap at the training area going through an American Ninja-like obstacle course. At the stands, we see Scott Wallis, Dash Baxter and Mondo Oowada watching Indigo go through the obstacle course in breeze, the three boys then brought up some score cards with the number ten written on it.
Indigo then took notice of a climbing wall next to the obstacle, Indigo let's out a smirk before making a run towards it. As this is going on, the Scout enters the training area and began to look around, he then took notice of Indigo doing a wall climb and immediately approaches her.
Indigo then made it to the top before jumping down however, she used too much force in her jump that it caused the wall to tilt backwards while the Scout walks towards her, "Hey, Zap!" he called out only to notice the wall slowly descending down towards him, making his eyes widen in fear, "Oh no! AAAAAAAHH-" he cried as he tried to make run for it while screaming but was cut off when the wall fell down on top of him.
Scott, Dash and Mondo let's out an evil laughter from the stands while Indigo winced at the sight, "Ooops...'' she muttered.
The Heavy then arrives while laughing at the same time, "Hahahaha! That gets me everytime!" he mused. He then calms himself down before turning to Indigo, "Hey, Indigo! You are needed at the fields outside the camp! The Major and the scientists are waiting for you!" he claimed.
"Huh? Wonder what I'm needed for?'' Indigo thought out loud before running out the area.
The Heavy watches her go when he heard the Scout spoke under the fallen wall, "Heeeelppp..." he calls out.
Bzzzttt...
Later outside the training facility, we see Major Stronghold, Dr. Michael Pating and Dr. Caesar Apoy alongside Ben Tennyson, Rook Blonko and Juniper Lee gathered there when Indigo arrives..
"Hey, I'm here!" Indigo announced herself, "So, what's the sitch?'' she asked earning a snicker from everyone since she borrowed one of Kim Possible's catchphrases.
The Major turns to her, "GREETINGS, YOUNG INDIGO!" he greeted, "I'll tell you what the sitch is once the last person needed in this makes her appearance.'' he stated.
Indigo then stood next to Juniper, "I wonder who it is?" she mused.
"Your question is as good as ours." Juniper replied.
Suddenly, everyone felts the ground shaking causing Indigo, Ben, Blonko and Juniper to loose their balance while the Major, Dr. Pating and Dr. Apoy calmly stood still to where they're standing at.
Then a pair gigantic black leather shoes with white socks covered by a blue pants appears on-screen before stopping in front of everyone, "Hello everyone, Little Joey, reporting for duty!" the giant announced in a soft-spoken yet enthusiastic tone.
"Wait! Little Joey!" Indigo calls out in surprise, "Since when did you become a hero?" she asked in confusion.
Little Joey's feet shuffled, "Oh? I've been training as hero for months and I've just been promoted as hero yesterday.'' he replied.
"But... how? I never saw you once training at the camp?!" Indigo asked in shock while jabbing a thumb at the facility.
Blonko let's out a chuckle, "You see, Indigo...'' he spoke, "Little Joey was trained separately from the rest of the trainees.'' he said, "There is a special training room for giants in the facility." he explained.
"Seriously? How you never told us about this, Little Joey?" Indigo asked.
"Umm... you never asked." Little Joey pointed out.
The Major let's out a laugh, "HAHAHA! ANYWAY...'' he spoke loudly, "... SINCE THE FIVE OF YOU ARE HERE, I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME, WE TELL YOU WHAT THE SITUATION IS." he declared.
Dr. Pating then brought out his tablet, "It's been days since we send Gingka Hagane to the Junkyard Planet to rescue the Blessed detected there but we lost contact of him." he explained, "Then we send the New Age Avengers to rescue him but we lost contact of them as well.'' he stated.
Ben crosses his arms, "So, I guess the five of us here will go to Junkyard Planet to rescue them.'' he pointed out.
Dr. Apoy shook his head, "Not exactly... we know the New Age Avengers can take care of themselves." he reassured, "The point why were sending the five of you to the Junkyard Planet is to find the source why we're loosing contact in that world and destroy it as possible, so communications in that planet won't be a hassle anymore.'' he explained.
Ben nodded, "I see." he replied, "I guess we know what to do.'' he declared.
"So, are we going the exact same way Marcus and the others did?" Indigo asked.
"I hope not, I don't think that portals big enough for Little Joey to fit through." Juniper pointed out.
Dr. Apoy looks at them, "Don't worry... we already prepared a special portal for him but for the rest of you...'' he reassured with a grin, "... you'll be going the same way as Marcus' team.'' he said while holding up some sort of device.
The five looks at him in dread, "I don't like that look on your face." Ben commented.
