Hey Guys! Crescent Rider here and I am thrilled to not just say welcome to the chapter.

Rather, I want to say that it's here and a lot of planning has been made for this arc specifically and I hope that it's good enough for you guys. Even the starting point is something I look forward to showing.

That aside, it's time for the answer to the thirteenth 'Who's that Pokemon'. Why it's none other than the Electric Icon Pikachu, The Mouse Pokemon.

Now that is all I have to say and enjoy the chapter!

City - Z Apartment

Though the sun slowly rises from the horizon, Mew is asleep on the balcony while Kombu and Seaweed sleep on the same bed with the latter being close to the former.

But as Seaweed and Mew slept, they simultaneously entered a dream and witnessed something that would be burnt into their minds for a long time.

Dream

As soon as the two psychics meet, they come across a place devoid of light and matter. There was nothing but darkness for them.

Just as they looked at each other, they soon heard a voice. Though, Mew felt familiar with such a tone.

"You..."

Seaweed felt a chill in her spine while Mew glanced around, and then a head made of flesh and bone appeared before them.

"How dare you follow me here..."

Mew tilts its head while Seaweed glances at it. As this entity was acquainted with her teacher...

Before this entity could say or do any harm, Mew senses its intentions and uses its power to free Seaweed and itself from this dream.

Thus, preventing this antagonistic entity from gaining anything that may benefit it from Seaweed's involvement.

Reality

With the dream over, Seaweed snaps her eyes wide open and jolts right out of bed while Mew wakes up from the balcony. Seaweed then rushed towards the balcony and confronted Mew about this matter, "Did you know what that was?"

Mew just stared before channeling the memory of its encounter through her mind.

"I see now. Did you know what it wants?" Seaweed inquired,

"Mew..." Mew despondently replied,

Seaweed shares its sentiment as this entity felt dangerous even in a dream. However, it did not change her attitude as she became determined a moment later, "Well whatever it is, I know we'll stop it!"

"Mew!" Mew shares her enthusiasm and whirls around the air,

Then Kombu came as she woke up and walked onto the balcony, "Why are you two up this early?"

"We were just talking about our dream today, there was this huge head that knew Sensei, and wanted to know why it was followed," Seaweed explained,

"Oh? Do tell," Kombu remarked, not believing the truth as Seaweed is still a child,

As Seaweed explains, Mew looks up to the sky and then goes to join them for breakfast.

One Hour Later...

After a refreshing bath together, Kombu is now brushing Seaweed's hair after being dried and Mew just watched on the latter's lap.

Moments later, they heard their door being knocked and Kombu went to answer after she put down the brush. With the door open, she was met with none other than The Third Ranking Class - S Hero, Silver Fang, who offered a sincere smile to her.

"Oh, hello, Bang-san. What brings you here today?" Kombu inquired,

"Why I'm just passing by, nothing out of the unusual," Bang said,

"Passing by isn't your only reason for being here, you know," Kombu said as she understood his intention from Saitama and Genos' description,

However, Bang chuckled and felt modest towards her, "How observant of you. Still, I wouldn't mind inviting you over to my dojo. I even intend to bring Saitama-kun and Genos-kun there for demonstration as well as some lunch for today,"

Before Kombu says a word, Seaweed beats her into it as she rushes over and peeks through the open door, "Lunch, Oji-san? Can I have some too?"

Bang is initially surprised by this girl's sudden appearance, and turns to Kombu for answers, "Who might this little one be?"

"This is Seaweed, and she lives with me in this apartment," Kombu explained,

"And Kombu-Onee-chan is very nice to me," Seaweed said,

"Onee-chan?" Bang said,

"That bit is a long story but... It's not like I hate it," Kombu stated,

"I see, well I won't judge you," Bang said, then turned to Seaweed, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Bang. I'm an acquaintance of your sister,"

"Nice to meet you too, Bang-san," Seaweed greeted back, "You said you'd invite Kombu-Onee-chan for lunch. Can I come too?"

"Of course, you are most welcome to come over if you like," Bang modestly inclined,

With this, Seaweed brightens up and rushes inside the room after stating, "Okay! I'll go carry my things!"

"Ah, youth. So full of life and energy," Bang commented with sincerity and nostalgia,

"You don't have to tell me twice," Kombu agreed,

Minutes Later...

Kombu, Seaweed, and Mew strode to Bang's dojo alongside Saitama and Genos after he promised them ingredients for today's lunch.

But along the way, Saitama had to ask a particular question to Kombu, "So... Why did you name her Seaweed again?"

"It was the only thing I could think of after I brought her into my room, Baldy," Kombu said, "Care to give a better name than that?"

"Huh?!" Saitama irked, but gave no response to her question,

"That's what I thought," Kombu remarked,

"I'd appreciate it if you don't ridicule my Master," Genos warned, "Or I won't hesitate to eradicate you,"

"Hey! Don't bully Kombu-Onee-chan!" Seaweed yelled directly toward the cyborg, "Otherwise, I will be mad at you,"

"I doubt a child like you could do any harm, even if you are mad," Genos bluntly stated, and Seaweed angrily pouted at him,

Before things could escalate to a full-blown argument, Mew popped out of Seaweed's back and loudly exclaimed, "MEW!"

The four immediately turned to Mew and the only ones who understood it were Kombu and Seaweed. Thus, they dropped the matter and focused on getting to Bang's dojo rather than arguing with themselves.

As soon as they reached the location, Seaweed marveled at the steps from Ground Level to Bang's Sacred Dojo. As for Kombu, she reminiscences her first coming here and it was a bit unpleasant even with her training at her disposal.

But she let those unpleasantries aside and focused on Seaweed, "Think you can handle it, Seaweed?"

"Umu~ I can take it!" Seaweed said,

"I doubt you'll even last a few steps," Genos bluntly remarked without a single glance at her,

Seaweed seems offended by this comment, then follows up with the following, "Oh yeah? Well, I doubt you'll reach the top before I do!"

"Is that a challenge?" Genos questioned,

"Darn right, it is!" Seaweed declared,

"Seaweed, Language!" Kombu rebuked, 'Where did she even learn that word,'

But neither Genos nor Seaweed heard her as the cyborg looked challenged to young Esper's claim, "Fine, I'll indulge you with your challenge. The first to reach the top shall be victorious,"

"And the one whose last shall be defeated," Seaweed added as she handed the bag to Kombu via psychic powers.

With this, the two prepared themselves at the foot of the steps with their respective powers/features while Saitama, Mew, and Kombu watched on the sidelines.

As soon as both finished their respective preparation, they rushed up the teams with incredible speed. leaving the three behind as they left a trail of dust and smoke across the steps.

After the dust and smoke cleared from the three, they just watched before Saitama began with the following remark, "Well they certainly left us here,"

"Certainly," Kombu agreed,

A brief silence later, Saitama proposes the same idea to her, "Wanna go at it,"

"Not a chance, Baldy," Kombu declined, while Saitama was once again angry at the insult she gave,

This is because Kombu doesn't forget what Saitama did to her in their first encounter. She may not stand a chance against Saitama in terms of power and fighting ability, she may as well insult him in a way he finds offending.

She also knows that Saitama wouldn't lay a finger on her due to Mew being present between them. In other words, she can be insulted whenever she feels like it.

Top of the Mountain

Charanko, Bang's top and only student, was in the middle of sweeping the leaves of the dojo's courtyard per his master's orders.

But just as he was about done, he began to hear something loud coming from the top of the stairs. Before long, he soon what appears to be a young girl rushing towards the dojo followed by a cyborg with thrusters from his arms.

Charanko exclaimed as he tried to get out of the way, but being in the middle saved him from a potential collision as these two zoomed through him and stopped by the doors of the dojo.

As soon as they straighten themselves, the young girl points her finger toward the cyborg, "Ha! I told you that I'd reach this place first before you do!"

"Nonsense, I arrived before you did," Genos refuted,

"Of course, you'd deny it," Seaweed remarked, "Because I came here first before you did!"

"Such Immaturity is assured, from someone who actually lost," Genos said,

While those two continued to argue, Charanko remained on the ground and watched it all happen. Several minutes later, the others came and stared at the two.

"I expected them to go against each other after the race," Kombu said, "Guess I was right,"

"At this point, we may not even be able to get our lunch for today," Saitama remarked, then walked the two, "Hey, why don't you two just settle with a draw? Maybe you both came here at the time,"

"Sensei, though I appreciate your judgment. But this match is something I mustn't conclude, not as long as it's my win, of course," Genos objected,

"That goes double for me!" Seaweed added, "I'm not stopping until a winner is decided,"

"Then how about we ask him instead?" Kombu decided as she helped Charanko up his feet with her hair, "You were here when these two reached the two, care to share with us the winner of this little race they just had?"

"Eh, um..." Charanko hummed while Genos and Seaweed just stared at him, "To be honest, I didn't really... see who came here first,"

"Then it is my win, then," Genos declared,

"No fair! It was totally my win!" Seaweed rebuked,

"Enough!" Kombu yelled, then turns the only person who could resolve this argument, "Mew, care to determine the winner through Bang's pupil?"

"Mew," Mew replied, peering through Charanko's memories,

Once it saw the memory, it focused its thoughts on that particular memory and what it saw as the result of this race and channeled those results to Kombu, "Mew has reviewed the result, and there's no doubt about it..."

Genos and Seaweed are patient, then Kombu unveils the result of their race, "Seaweed was the first person he saw before you,"

Seaweed soon expresses her victory through joy while Genos lowers his head and clutches his fist upon learning defeat.

"To think that I'd lose to her," Genos muttered, then pulled out his notebook and started writing down notes, "For this endeavor, I will keep on improving,"

After the whole debate was settled, Kombu then approached Seaweed with a false smile, "I'm glad that you're happy, but I must ask when did you learn to use that word?"

Seaweed stopped celebrating when she felt Kombu's bone-chilling aura. As powerful as a psychic she may be, she fears Kombu should she do something wrong and her aura is proof of that matter.

"I'm waiting..." Kombu stated while maintaining that smile,

"Um... Uh... Well, you see..." Seaweed trails off for an answer, and Kombu has to take an obvious guess, "You were reading one of those manga books I borrowed last night, weren't you?"

Seaweed stiffening and quaking her body was all the proof Kombu needed, and the latter goes for a meager punishment to the young psychic, "Though it's alright for you to read those books, it's wrong of you to use such language. Therefore, as punishment, I won't be buying those sweets you wanted for a week,"

With this, The young psychic felt crushed and her jaw practically dropped upon hearing such punishment. Kombu decided to settle for this punishment after she dropped her smile and faced the dojo, "Now, let's go inside and have ourselves some lunch,"

Before she could take a single step, she felt her leg wrapped by Seaweed and a pleading look was soon shown to the former, "Please take that back! I promise I won't say anything like that ever again, so please let me have sweets!"

"I'm sorry, but I won't. Consider this a lesson for using profanity," Kombu firmly declares while averting her gaze elsewhere,

Seaweed continues to sob, when she turns to Mew. It shares the same sentiment as Kombu as it didn't approve of such language.

'She really is a kid, isn't she,' Saitama remarked,

Moments later, Bang soon opened the doors of his dojo and noticed the attitudes of everyone present, "Did something happen?"

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that Seaweed and the cyborg raced to the ground up," Kombu explained, "Though Seaweed won, she's crying because I punished her for using a swear word earlier,"

Bang then fixates his gaze on Genos, still writing in his notebook, and knows that there was a bit of rivalry between him and the young girl. Another nostalgic feeling in his own home.

"I see, I've prepared the ingredients for today's lunch. So why don't we all get inside and begin," Bang said, "I even bought some traditional sweets while I was out earlier,"

This perked Seaweed's ear and immediately stopped crying, "Really?! I want some, Bang-san!"

As soon as Kombu's leg was released, she just sighed at Seaweed. But didn't mind as she didn't want to ruin the mood of today's lunch. So she and the others went inside the dojo.

But unbeknownst to them, they were about to be involved in a major incident...

That is it for this chapter, The first part of the Alien Conquerors Arc. And if I total the number of chapters for this arc, it'd be two or three chapters.

Second, there won't be another 'Who's that Pokemon' for this chapter since Mew didn't transform. I'm saving it in a later chapter.

And finally, this may sound uncomfortable but in the TheRisingDryad AO3 Account, There's this Pokemon Encyclopedia where Pokemons take on a more Humanoid Appearance and 'Interact' with their Trainers or their Respective Species.

A bit of a warning, the Encyclopedia is rated E for Explicit and you find out why (Some of the Entries are currently being revised).

That is all I have to say, and I see you all in the next chapter!
