Fidget and Team Rocket’s Looking Out for Themselves/Dinner Plans

*(The next morning, somewhere out in the desert near a well, a pile of sand begins to move. Suddenly it exploded as a familiar male scratching cat Pokemon, two familiar humans, a man and woman, and a familiar male crippled peg-legged bat came out spitting out sand in annoyance. It's Meowth, Jessie, and James of Team Rocket and Fidget respectively)*

Meowth: Finally!

Jessie: Out of that sand trap.

*(They got themselves loose. And while Jessie, James, and Fidget got out completely, Meowth's bottom is still stuck inside the black lamp he and the others, as well as Negaduck, Dijon, and Shere Khan, along with the black lamp's recently new owners, Merlock and Vanitas, who got tricked into becoming two powerful genies like Crash, Sombra, and Gene only to end up trapped in a black lamp in the last story, are trapped in)*

James: (Sighs) I have an itching feeling that I got sand in places I didn't know existed.

Fidget: (Brushes the last of some sand off of himself) So did I, James.

*(Then he smacks his right ear, if he has any, spilling sand out of his left ear. Then he did the same with the left ear, spilling sand out of his right ear)*

Vanitas: (Voice-over) Enough, wimps!

Negaduck: (Voice-over) Especially you, Widget!

Merlock: (Voice-over) Are we out yet?!

Meowth: (Mockingly in annoyance and anger) "Are we out yet?" This! "Are we out yet?" That! *(Seriously in anger)* Of course we are, guys! No thanks to you.

Jessie: (Angrily) Considering that you lied about our reward!

Fidget: (Annoyed in anger) And Negaduck, it's *Fidget*, not Widget!

*(Meowth then struggles to get his bottom half out)*

Meowth: I swear, if my bottom wasn't stuck somehow in that black lamp with you, you would be still be down there rotting for all I care!

*(Suddenly the black lamp glows a red light and sent Meowth flying out, bottom and all. The male scratching cat Pokemon crashed into some sand nearby)*

Merlock: (Voice-over) Now that's done, get me, my group, and the other henchmen out of here so we may have our revenge.

Vanitas: (Voice-over) Immediately!

*(Meowth gets up and groaned a bit)*

Meowth: Tell you what. I'll let you out, when I feel like it! Especially since you recently called us losers.

James: And reneged on a certain promise you made regarding rewards!

Vanitas: (Voice-over) Just do it, you fools!

Negaduck: (Voice-over) Can't you hear us complaining about a lack of leg room?!

Merlock: (Voice-over) So, you, Fidget, along with Team Rocket heard us!

Shere Khan: (Voice-over) Let us out now along with the others, you crippled fool!

*(Meowth's group frowned angrily as they walked back to the black lamp)*

Jessie: You know what? No thanks! At least we weren't fools like you guys are.

James: And we're tired of being pushed around a lot by people like you!

Merlock's group, Negaduck, and Shere Khan: (Voice-over) WHAT?!

Dijon: (Voice-over, at the same time as Merlock's group, Negaduck and Shere Khan) What?

Negaduck: (Voice-over) But you're our partners!

Merlock's group: (Voice-over) Now let us out!

Dijon: (Voice-over) Pretty please? I'm getting a lot of crampy cramps in my legs.

Jessie: Maybe we don't wanna.

Meowth: And besides, think about it; Who were forced to come up with the good ideas besides the lot of you? Us!

Fidget: Who did all the abusive work while you just sit there, laughing at us and beating us up? Us!

James: And who did you promise a reward to as soon as we took over Agrabah, only that the said reward were just one crummy gem for each of us?! Us!

Meowth's group: Us, us, us!

Negaduck: (Voice-over) Is this the thanks we get for taking you in after the tragic deaths of your families?!

Shere Khan: (Voice-over) Negaduck has a point!

Merlock: (Voice-over) If it weren't for us, you would've been starving on the streets, begging for money, crying *(Mockingly)* "Alms for the poor!"

Vanitas: (Voice-over) Scrounging around trash for good food besides stupid raw fish for Meowth's case!

Shere Khan: (Voice-over) Or better yet, your stupid precious strawberries for Fidget!

*(Meowth's group started to get furious on Merlock and Vanitas' lines, especially Meowth and Fidget on Vanitas and Shere Khan's line)*

Jessie: It's true we were street urchins once!

Meowth: And that we *were* forced to scrounge for good food other than some DISGUSTING RAW FISH!!

Fidget: And I'm warning you; If you insult my love for strawberries one more time...!

James: (Interrupting Fidget) We will definitely...!

Negaduck: (Voice-over) Hold your tongues, losers!

Meowth's group: We will *not* hold our tongues!

Negaduck: (Voice-over) Oh, yes you will!

Shere Khan: (Voice-over) We don't want to hear anymore of your problems or your stupid reward!

Vanitas: (Voice-over) In fact, we don't *care* about them!

Merlock: (Voice-over) If there's one thing we care about, it's revenge against the ones who trapped us in here!

Negaduck: (Voice-over) That's right, so forget about your stupid reward!

Merlock's group: (Voice-over) Now get us OUT OF HERE!!

Merlock: (Voice-over) Or so help *us*, we *will* have no choice but to stuff some raw fish, if we find any, into Meowth's throat like that fool, Volteer, always does!

Negaduck: (Voice-over) And you, Widget, can kiss your precious strawberries goodbye from your favorite food list!

*(Meowth's group slowly and calmly fumed on Merlock's group, Negaduck, and Shere Khan's lines. Then finally, expressing their anger on Merlock and Negaduck's threatening ultimatum regarding raw fish towards Meowth and banning strawberries from Fidget and the latter being called "Widget" again, they began singing as soon as Meowth, especially his group, snapped in anger)*

Meowth's group: **That's it**

Jessie: **We've had it**

James: **We hate to be dramatic**

Fidget: **But it's time for us to run from the coop**

*(The black lamp shoots out an energy blast at Meowth's group, but they angrily dodged it, their anger completely boiling over)*

Meowth: **Terrific**

Jessie: **Fine**

James: **We're drawing the line**

Fidget: **Before we wind up in some loser soup**

*(Meowth's group smirked playfully as Jessie picks up the black lamp and goes to the well nearby)*

Meowth: **We were all fools to let you run the show**

*(Jessie held the black lamp over the well as she and Meowth's group continued)*

James: **We're cutting you loose, pals**

Meowth's group: **Look out below**

*(Jessie drops the black lamp down the well. And the trapped villains' screams are heard as the black lamp fell to the bottom until it disappeared in the water. Meowth's group waved goodbye as they continued)*

Meowth's group: ***Arrividerci***

***C'est la vie***

**Hope all goes well**

**We're looking out for us**

*(With that, Meowth's group flew off on their jetpacks. Later, they arrived in Agrabah and began to walk around)*

Meowth: Ah, Agrabah. we missed you so much!

Jessie: And we're gonna find us a great place to stay on our own!

James: Hopefully.

Jessie: Let's try and convince someone that we can make it up to them for our actions under our Ex-Bosses' false claims of our "Reward."

Fidget: (Agreeing) That way, we can redeem ourselves!

Meowth's group: (Agreeing happily) Yeah!

*(Meowth's group, spotting a man who noticed him as he fixes his stall, not taking the group seriously, got in his face hopefully as they resumed singing, as if talking to him in an effort to convince him to let them stay with him)*

James: **Okay**

Meowth: **Some of us are little**

Fidget: **Been playing second fiddle**

Jessie: **And we don't get no respect**

*(The man, however, glared at them, remembering how Meowth's group helped the villains take over Agrabah before, grabs a tomato and threw it at them. Meowth's group dodged it as Fidget places his arm around a camel in disappointment along with Meowth's group, and the camel looks at him and Meowth's group oddly)*

Fidget: **We turn our other cheeks**

**But these busted noses**

**Are the only thanks that we get**

*(At a fruit stand where Bowser is working, Meowth's group tried to talk some reason in him too through song)*

James: **We never found some friends that we can trust**

Meowth: **They promised caviar**

Fidget: **And riches**

Jessie: **Yet they leave us eating dust**

*(But Bowser, like the man before, angrily swipes at them with his sword, but Meowth's group got out of the way in time in a panic and landed on top of another camel. They sighed in disappointment as they sat down)*

Meowth: **That's some reward for loyalty**

Meowth's group: **From here on in**

**We're looking out for us**

*(Meowth and Fidget then secretly swiped an apple and a strawberry respectively from a nearby stand after getting up with Meowth's group and ate them, since, luckily for them, the sign over it says "Take One Apple and One Strawberry for Free." At a jewelry stand, another man was looking at a diamond, very pleased. To his confusion at first, he sees Jessie wearing a bunch of jewels in a million of reflections. Putting the diamond down, he sees Jessie, along with Meowth's group, right in front of him and became shocked upon recognizing them as the enemies who formally took over Agrabah with Merlock's group)*

Jessie: **Oh, we don't need nobody else**

Fidget: **We'll never fail**

Team Rocket: **We'll cover our own butts**

*(The other man angrily tries to grab at them, but Meowth's group dodged too quickly for him, causing Jessie to quickly take off and drop the jewels, leaving them at the shop. Then many other citizens angrily slammed their own doors in their faces when Meowth's group continued to try and reason with them through song that they want to live with them)*

Meowth's group: (On each door slam via punctuation for emphasis) **We can take care of ourselves**

*(Meowth's group then got on the top of an elephant dancing on top of it with various birds as they continued to sing in desperation and a hint of one last hope)*

Meowth: **You know, it just don't pay**

Jessie: **To give a hoot**

James: **We've given all our hearts**

Fidget: **And what do we get?**

Meowth's group: **Da boot**

Fidget: **We're through with that**

Team Rocket: **We're running free**

Meowth's group: **From here on in**

**We're looking out for us**

*(The song over, they jumped and landed on the ground, pose styled. They waited for an applause with desperate hope on their faces, but the people just glared angrily at them, making them compose themselves and try to reason with the people again)*

Meowth: Okay, listen.

Fidget: So, please, please, hear us out.

Jessie: We may have made a bad start with Merlock's group and even Negaduck, Shere Khan, and Dijon.

James: But if you find it in your hearts....

*(Then a watermelon is thrown at them, sending them flying onto a wall. Meowth's group recovered, wiping the chunks off as the people continued glaring)*

Woman 1: Why should we give *you* a place to stay here, let alone any other chance?

Man 1: After all you've done to us?

Woman 2: You're crazy!

Fidget: (Wiping the last chunks off along with Meowth's group) We're not crazy.

James: (Agreeing) In fact, my mother had me tested.

Bowser: (Sarcastically) Well, good for you! Losers!

Fidget: (Feeling a little hurt) We're not losers.

*(Then with that, Bowser and the people stormed off, leaving poor Meowth's group alone as they tried to call out to them as they got up and reached out to them in calm desperation)*

Meowth's group: Please, wait!

James: Just give us a...! Chance.

Fidget: Please...?

*(But too late, the people went back to their businesses. Then tears filling their eyes slowly and after Fidget and Meowth sniffled a bit, they, Jessie, and James walked away, very sad. Elsewhere in Agrabah, unaware of all of this, the heroes are in Crunch and Aku-Aku's Gummi Ship as Ash's gang, Aku-Aku, Crunch, Stellaluna, and Meowzie laughed a bit. Megavolt went gaga'ed at some sacks of gold. Before he could grab one, Ash grabs it and, with Pikachu's help, starts throwing gold across the ground, making the people who caught them happy)*

Ash: Megavolt, you know the plan was that we don't really need this money and treasure.

Matt: Yep.

Quackerjack: Since you, me, and the rest of Ash's gang are living at the palace and all, there isn't any use for anything else, right?

Megavolt: (Shrugs) Yeah, true.

Meowzie: And remember when you said for me to thank you later for saving me earlier?

Group: (Nods) Yep.

Stellaluna: And now we can say it as we were before.

Stellaluna and Meowzie: Thank you.

Tombo: And now we can say it in return; You're welcome.

*(Tombo then drops a small gold rod into a beggar's bowl. The beggar saw it and grins happily. Next, both Ash and Pikachu dropped some more gold and it landed in front of a woman and her children. The children jumped into the gold playfully as their mother looks up into the sky, amazed and happy as her children)*

Mother: It's a miracle!

*(As more gold got thrown away, Megavolt smiled after throwing a gold medallion down to a woman)*

Patamon: Hey, don't be like that.

Meowzie: We aren't throwing everything away.

Matt: Meowzie has a point.

Stellaluna: Some of the remaining treasure we have are ours to keep,

Megavolt: (Hopefully) Really?

Kaya: (Nods) Definitely.

*(Megavolt sees that Ash is still holding the crystal rose)*

Megavolt: (Smiling) All right!

Liquidator: (Gestures him to stop before he grabbed the crystal rose) Ah-ah-ah, Megavolt!

Ash: (Looking at the crystal rose) This is for Serena.

Megavolt: (Slapping his forehead) Oh, great!

Quackerjack: Relax, Sparky!

Pikachu: (Reassuringly) Pika, pikachu.

*(Bushroot hands Megavolt a diamond)*

Bushroot: That's for you.

Pikachu: (Nods happily) Pika.

*(Megavolt shrugged and accepted the diamond. Then everyone else got confused)*

Bushroot: Hey, wait a minute!

Liquidator: You, Megavolt, didn't berate Quackerjack for calling you "Sparky."

*(Realizing, Megavolt got sheepish)*

Megavolt: (Sheepishly) Oh, sorry. *(Giggles a bit, then pretends to be angry)* Don't call me "Sparky," Quackie! *(Happily and hopefully)* How was that?

Group: (Nods in approval) Better! (Pika!)

*(The group flew back to the palace and arrived at Serena's group's balcony. Upon landing, Ash's group walked forward and looked surprised as they saw a growling Pura, Polar, and Baby T moving at them)*

Ash's gang except Ash's group: (Concerned) Uh-oh!

Ash: (Nervously) Now, now, you three. Calm down.

*(Pura, Polar, and Baby T growled and pounced at Ash causing him to scream a bit as he fell to the ground. Then, with a smile, Pura, Polar, and Baby T licked the boy's face causing him to laugh a bit. Even the group, seeming to have known this all along, laughed a bit)*

Ash: Okay, you got me.

*(Ash nudges the three young animals away gently as he got back up. Then he turned to the curtained section)*

Ash: How was the score this time?

*(Then Darkwing Duck's group, consisting Darkwing Duck AKA Drake Mallard, Launchpad McQuack, Gosalyn Mallard, Honker and Tank Muddlefoot, Morgana Macawber, Neptunia, Stegmutt, and Gizmoduck AKA Fenton Crackshell, and even Biyomon, Jiji, and Lillipup, themselves came out with smiles as Gizmoduck held up his timer)*

Gizmoduck: Twelve seconds.

Darkwing: A new record.

Launchpad: The last one was nine seconds.

Tombo: (Flattered, petting the proud Pura, Polar, and Baby T on their heads a bit) Pura, Polar, and Baby T are the best at pretending to not remember us.

Tank: (Agreeing) Yep.

*(Even Eevee happily chirps a bit in agreement. Then a male voice speaks up)*

Male voice: Hey, Ash, guys!

*(They looked and saw ten figures, six males and four females, arriving with smiles. The first male figure is a 10 year old boy with brown eyes, huge brown upward spiky hair, and wearing a blue headband with a pair of round black strapped goggles over them, a yellow short-sleeved turtleneck T-shirt underneath a blue short-sleeved shirt with two yellow pocket rims on each side of his chest area, three tiny yellow buttons near the turtleneck, one orange star on each side of his sleeves, a black armband on his left forearm, white gloves, dark red cargo shorts, white socks, and white and blue shoes with yellow markings. He is Tai Kamiya. The second male figure is a male Rookie-leveled short, stout, Tyrannosaurus rex-like Digimon standing about 3 feet tall with amber orange skin, light green eyes, flattened forearms with broad, three-clawed hands, distinct pectoral muscles, very vascular legs and arms, a stubby tail is stubby, and a head and snout that are almost as large as the rest of his body. He is Agumon, Tai's Digimon partner. The third male figure is a 9 year old boy with black pupiled eyes and short red brown spiky hair, and wearing an orange long-sleeved button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, yellow gloves, olive green shorts, green socks, and purple and dark blue strapped shoes with a yellow lightning bolt on each side, and sometimes carried a green backpack carrying his laptop. He is Izzy Izumi. The fourth male figure is a male Rookie-leveled bipedal red and brownish green Digimon with four arms with gray talons at the end of the first pair, large, green eyes, gray mouth-like mandibles, two yellow antennae reaching out from his head, elytra that is covered with gray spines, and black muscle in the face, neck, the brachium of his arms, and his thighs. He is Tentomon, Izzy's Digimon partner. The fifth male figure is a 12 year old boy with short blue hair and black pupiled eyes underneath a pair of brown handled glasses, and wearing a pale blue short-sleeved flap-collared shirt underneath a white sleeveless overshirt with blue rims, yellow wristbands, a green watch on his left wrist, light brown shorts, dark blue knee-high socks, and red and white converse shoes. He is Joe Kido. The last male figure is a male Rookie-leveled white, furry sea lion (Zalophus californianus) with no nose, long ears, purple markings, a red orange mane, large claws, a short tail like a sea otter (Enhydra lutris), and a W-shaped smile with two pointed teeth popping out. He is Gomamon, Joe's Digimon partner. The first female figure is a 9 year old girl with long light orange hair and light brown eyes, and wearing a big pink cowgirl hat with her hair tucked in, a red pink short-sleeved cowgirl-styled dress, a brown belt with a yellow buckle, orange gloves with brown wrist straps, pink socks, and white and brown cowgirl shoes. She is Mimi Tachikawa. The second female figure is a female Rookie-leveled green, bipedal, Mandrake-like Digimon with a tail, small bumps lining her back, large, root-like feet, foliage-like hands, each one with three purple-tipped vines that act like fingers, and a pink and yellow flower with a long, yellow stamen with a red tip on the top of her head. She is Palmon, Mimi's Digimon partner. The third female figure is a 7 year old girl with short flat light brown hair and brown eyes, and wearing a pink neckerchief, a pink stringed necklace carrying a silver whistle, a lemon yellow tanktop with three tiny white buttons near the neck rim, magenta capris, white socks, and white and red shoes. She is Kari Kamiya, Tai's little sister. And the last female figure is a female Champion-leveled white Egyptian cat-like Digimon with large ears with tufts of purple hair on the tips reminiscent of a caracal (Caracal caracal), black claws, a tail with purple stripes and a tuft at the end, and wearing large lime yellow and red striped fingerless gloves and a gold Holy Ring on her tail. She is Gatomon, Kari's Digimon partner. Upon seeing them, Ash's gang, especially Matt, Gabumon, TK, and Patamon, greeted them happily while the others watched with soft smiles, for they apparently already knew that they know each other)*

Ash's gang: Hey, guys!

Gabumon: Long time, no see!

Matt: Tai and Kari Kamiya, Izzy Izumi, Mimi Tachikawa, and Joe Kido.

Tombo: And of course, their Digimon partners, Agumon, Gatomon, Tentomon, Palmon, and Gomamon.

Jiji: (Happily proud) And yes, we are, indeed, aware of them being your old buddies besides Sora and Biyomon's.

Izzy: And the fact that we were old friends who formally and friendly disbanded on our own paths in this kingdom.

*(Ash's gang then asked away)*

Kaya: And, uh, are they friends with Sora and Biyomon already and we missed out on it?

Darkwing: Yep, yep, yep, they sure are.

Launchpad: In fact, we reunited with them in the marketplace.

Joe: And invited to live in this beautiful palace.

Mimi: Totally agree on the beautiful part.

Ash's gang: (Nods) Of course.

Darkwing: And just recently, they are now new recruits in the palace guard unit.

Ash's gang: (Impressed) Really?

Tai's group: (Nods) Yep.

Agumon: Just passed all our training yesterday.

Tentomon: All except the very last one.

Gomamon: Which is today.

Palmon: Yep!

*(Impressed, the group smiled. Then after straightening themselves up, Ash's group looked at their friends, Kaya, and TK)*

Ash's group: So guys, how do we look?

Three more female voices: I think you look perfect.

*(They turned and smiled as they see the princesses, Serena, Sora Takenouchi, and Kiki, with the latter back in her green dress attire, coming out onto the balcony smiling at them)*

Ash: Serena!

Matt: Sora!

Tombo: Kiki!

Serena: My cousins and I were wondering where you and your friends were, Ash.

Kiki: We've missed you.

Ash: Oh, we were out getting a few things.

*(The palace residents noticed Stellaluna and Meowzie and got impressed smiles for some reason)*

Sora: Hey! Are they the special female magical bat and female magical scratching cat Pokemon our parents/aunts and uncles asked you to rescue yesterday?

Group: Yep!

Quackerjack: Saved them from the jaws of death.

Meowzie: (To the palace residents with a nod) And we are both extremely grateful to them.

Stellaluna: To the very end.

Darkwing: And did you take back the stolen treasure the kidnappers stole?

Sora: And gave them to the people of Agrabah as charity?

Group: Yep!

Stellaluna: It's true.

Meowzie: We saw the whole thing even.

Serena: That is definitely good news!

Sora and Kiki: I'll say!

Ash: The Merry Team's first successful rescue and charity mission.

Matt and Tombo: Accomplished well.

Megavolt: And it's all thanks to Volteer's group tasking us to rescue these two magical gals from the clutches of Ruggedo's gang since they kidnapped the poor magical twosome for Hunter J and Splatter Phoenix's selfish fountain of youth reasons.

Kaya: Just at the outskirts of Agrabah.

TK: Ruggedo's gang stealing treasure en route for themselves.

Izzy: In fact, we, which Tai's group and I were brought up to speed on, can't negate the fact that Volteer's group actually learned about this from a witness and then tasked you.

Kiki: Since we did, after all, know Stellaluna and Meowzie since we were children.

Ash: (Casually) Well, not me and my gang, that is.

Serena: (Casually agreeing) Yeah.

Sora: (Agreeing happily) This team is, in fact, formed thanks to mine and Kiki's parents and our aunt and uncle from the awesome experience when you, Ash's gang, saved us and all of Agrabah from Merlock's group and their vile henchmen and halfway moved in with us after our engagement party.

Kiki: And since because Serena, Sora, and I were busy helping with the charity ball to help starving children across the world, we had to sit out on last night's mission, also wishing you the best of luck in accomplishing the mission.

Tombo: Which we thankfully succeeded in.

*(The group smiled and confirmed in agreement. For it turned out, as they mentioned, the reason Ash's gang rescued Stellaluna and Meowzie and stole the treasure from Ruggedo's gang yesterday night with Aku-Aku and Crunch's help was, indeed, because Volteer's group, having heard of Stellaluna and Meowzie's special powers from a witness who saw the kidnapping and thefts in the outskirts of Agrabah, asked Ash's gang to rob back the treasure from the villainous criminal gang and rescue the poor female magical bat and female magical scratching cat Pokemon from their clutches, like how Robin Hood and his Merry Men would, and since they accomplished the mission, everything is fine now. Also in fact, as they just also mentioned, ever since Ash's gang moved into the palace as a reward for saving Agrabah and earned the worthiness of Ash, Matt, and Tombo going to eventually marry Serena, Sora, and Kiki, Ash's gang, under Serena, Darkwing, and Volteer's groups, Biyomon, and Jiji's request, are now named Agrabah's official Merry Team, like Robin Hood and his Merry Men, stealing from the villains, and giving to the innocent, whether they're poor and/or rich, and rescuing anybody who is either in danger and/or kidnapped. Anyway, Ash suddenly remembered something)*

Ash: (Remembering something) Oh! And speaking of stealing back treasure, I even got this.

*(He pulls out the crystal rose and held it out to Serena)*

Ash: Like this? This is for you.

Serena: (Gasps happily) Wow! It's lovely!

*(Serena took the crystal rose and looks at it lovingly. Megavolt rolled his eyes with a bit of a chuckle. Serena pulled Ash into a brief deep kiss and then lets go as she walks off)*

Serena: (Playfully) It must've definitely cost a fortune.

Ash: (Winks) Well, what can I say?

Matt: (Playfully) It was, after all, a steal.

TK: (Playfully agreeing) A good discount.

*(The palace residents chuckled a bit in agreement, knowing what Ash, Matt, and TK really meant. As Serena goes back into her room followed by the others, she puts the crystal rose in a vase with a real rose. Megavolt came in and begins sneaking around smirking. He got plans to get his hands on the crystal rose as well)*

Kiki: We were hoping you would come back to us today.

Serena: Because Mother and Father, also my cousins' parents, wanted you and your friends to join us for dinner.

Sora: They have an important surprise announcement to make.

Ash's group: What is it?

Serena's group: You, of course.

Matt: (Playfully) Are we in trouble?

Sora: (Playfully) Let's say, this is the one trouble you wouldn't want to miss.

*(They chuckled a bit. Megavolt, at the same time, hid under the table in the shadows and try to reach for the crystal rose. But as he pulled his hand back, he realized he took the real one by mistake. He threw it away in annoyance)*

Ash: What's the surprise?

Serena: Sorry, Ash.

Kiki: We can't say what it is.

Sora: We promised our parents/aunts and uncles.

Jiji: You just have to wait until dinner.

*(Megavolt tried once more. He felt he has the crystal rose and tried to pull his hand back. But the hand felt like it was stuck. He takes a look and realized, to his horror, that Gizmoduck, Quackerjack, and Pikachu are looking at him, with Gizmoduck and Quackerjack tsking at him)*

Megavolt: (Sweat drops) Hoo boy....

Quackerjack: "Hoo boy" is right, Sparky.

Megavolt: (Almost shouts) Don't...!

Gizmoduck: (Interrupting) Your kleptomanical personality just got your hand caught in the cookie jar.

*(The others, meanwhile, didn't see or hear this)*

Tombo: So in other words, don't spoil it.

Kiki: That's right.

Launchpad: In fact, you defeated Merlock's group and their henchmen, saved Agrabah, and saved the princesses.

Tai: You are heroes.

Meowzie: Just like how you saved mine and Stellaluna's lives.

Stellaluna: Indeed.

Matt: Well, you're right on that.

Tombo: That's us.

Gabumon: (Gently noogies Matt's head a bit) Lucky you, Matt, along with Tombo and Ash!

Matt: (Chuckles a bit) Thanks, Gabumon.

Ash: Ready for anything dished out at us.

*(Suddenly crash noises are heard. They looked as Pikachu, Quackerjack, and even Eevee, Polar, Pura, and Baby T are chasing Megavolt all over the place as Gizmoduck approached them. Megavolt jumped up a curtain and Quackerjack acrobatically jumped up there after him)*

Gizmoduck: Flip here is trying to take away the crystal rose.

Quackerack: (To the group) Even after you apparently told him it's for Serena only. (To Megavolt scoldingly, reaching for him) It's for Serena, Sparky!

Tonto: (Reaching for Megavolt) You should know that!

Pikachu: (Scoldingly agreeing) Pika pika pika, pikachu!

Megavolt: (Angrily) Don't call me "Spark...!"

*(Eevee, Pura, Polar, and Baby T tugged on the curtain, causing Megavolt and Quackerjack to fall off. They bounced off Crunch and landed in a bunch of white powder sending a lot of it around. As the smoke clears, Ash's gang frowned in annoyance at Megavolt and Quackerjack who lied in the powder. Ash's group and even Quackerjack, covered in the powder, then chuckled sheepishly a bit at Serena's group, who gave an understanding smile and a bit of an understanding chuckle)*

Serena: Well, before dinner, I think you guys should clean up, you know?

Sora: Yep!

Kiki: No need to go around like that!

*(The group agreed and then Ash's gang and even Quackerjack dagger glanced at a powder-covered Megavolt. Megavolt smiled nervously and offered the crystal rose he swiped during the chase)*

Megavolt: Crystal rose?

Matt: (Rolling his eyes) And don't do it again.

Quackerjack: (Nonchalantly) Yeah.

Jiji: In all my life as Kiki's loyal pet talking cat in the palace, none of us, especially me, felt completely embarrassed.

Pikachu: (Nods in agreement nonchalantly) Pika.

*(Megavolt nods guiltily. Then they walked away to go get dressed for tonight's dinner)*

***Coming up: When Ash's gang, Crunch, Aku-Aku, and even Darkwing and Tai's groups, Stellaluna, and Meowzie meets Meowth's group, who ends up begging them to take them in, they refuse to believe them at first, until Meowth's group comes to the surprise rescue when Ruggedo's gang attacks, and afterwards, especially after a little injury accident on Bulba, the heroes decide to give Meowth's group another chance, especially after Stellaluna and Meowzie heal Fidget and Meowth's own respective injuries they got in the ambush. Then later, after hiding Meowth's group in a secret cage in the palace gardens, the heroes are soon reunited with Crash, Sombra, Coco, Tawna, Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, and Gene, who are now home from their world travels, and Crash and Tawna and Sombra and Coco already magically have their own kids in the form of Mohawk and Sabrina Bandicoot and Luz and Lisa Bandicoot.***
