## Plot

Inkopolis... The home of Turf War which Inklings battle it out by painting each other with ink, Team Blue is doing a great job even though they're ridiculous!

Goggles is late once again because he overslept! and is still sleeping, He then gets dressed and Team Blue then tells him he's always late so Goggles decides to super jump from his home to Inkopolis Square and so he does, and ends up crashing on top of a passing truck! and because of that, Goggles is taken far, far away which makes his friends worried! and now Goggles is dried up!

The truck heads off to a scorching dessert environment and Goggles falls off the truck and onto the road! An Inkling Girl comes to him and asks if he was ok and Goggles tells her he's thirsty, The Inkling gives him some water and Goggles is saved! He tells her that he passed out on top of the truck and was carried away, He also tells her that he came from Inkopolis Square! and the inkling tells him that's far away as she tries a pickled plum, She tells Goggles that they're in the Splatlands region and her name is Mitsuami (or Braids), Mitsuami gives Goggles a Tri-Squid Tee and a bandana for his wounds, Then Goggles sees a bow-like weapon and Mitsuami tells him it's a Tri-Stringer and that she comes here often to practice. Mitsuami explains that Turf War is popular in Splatlands as well, with unique weapons, gear and stages and Goggles was enthusiastic to join in… but then, Mitsuami becomes shy.

A team wearing shades known as Team Horn Helmet appears from the dust! and Mitsuami knew they were strange. Their leader; Horn Helmet has heard that Mitsuami was strong and wanted to battle her, but Mitsuami doesn't have any teammates as she never had a real battle as she get's shy when it comes to battles, and Horn Helmet gets confused as she saw Mitsuami in one of the stages! but she was just visiting! Her strength was just a rumor although she practices at Splatlands though! Goggles wants Mitsuami to try the battle and Mitsuami was starting to shake up! and then decides to go in!

They head to a stage with many rocks know as Scorch Gorge and Goggles finds it interesting as there are so many rocks! and Horn Helmet notices that Goggles isn't from Splatlands! Mitsuami and Goggles happend to be teamed up with Wrap and Sudadera; two brothers who were just watching the match! Mitsuami is amazed to experience the real battle! Goggles finds himself floating on a flying spawner known as a spawner drone and...But before Mitsuami could continue, the match begins!

The mixed team flies to the stage and Mitsuami is too nervous, She fell on her first squid spawn and Goggles' clothes came off which makes him completely naked! Glasses Buzz attacks Goggles but Mitsuami defeats him to save Goggles, He decides to attack too and his pants came down by themselves! Horn Helmet notices that Goggles doesn't stop! so she and her teammates decided to surround them! and Mitsuami decides to run! so Horn Helmet and her team decides to stop them by using the Squid Surge and Squid Roll and wipes all of the Mixed Team out! Mitsuami tells Goggles that Squid Surge is a spinning attack that allows a rapid backwards turn and Squid Roll is a leaping attack that can be used to ambush in high places!

As Team Horn Helmet paints away, The Mixed Team is in trouble! and Goggles is impressed by the new moves even though he's in trouble, They respawn and Horn Helmet tells them that they're weak and they can't survive in Splatlands without your own style! Although the ones who can't even step forward into real battle may not have that strength at all! So Mitsuami decides to distract Team Horn Helmet whilst everyone else paints, and Goggles shakes her legs up and down and tells Horn Helmet that she'll step forward as many times as it takes! and tells her that Mitsuami is taking her first step forward and all she needs to do is to battle a lot!

The Mixed Team begins their comeback and Mitsuami takes care of the long-distance areas, As she does so, Glasses Mush goes in for the attack, so Sudadera attacks him to protect her! Goggles, Mitsuami and Sudadera say **"Booyah!"** which was apparently Mitsuami's first time saying it! Glasses Buzz again tries to attack Goggles who thinks that saying “Booyah!” is not important and Goggles rapidly dodges and fires back as opponents moves forward and dodges using Squid Roll! Whilst Goggles dodges, his pickled plums fell out! They ate the sour substances and were stunned at the sour tastes! Goggles has stopped the Squid Roll attack!

Meanwhile Horn Helmet was disbelieved about a comeback by a novice team! Then Mitsuami attacks her but she dodges and tells her that she lacks experience, so Mitsuami calls on Goggles to attack her, He uses Squid Jump and successfully defeats Horn Helmet!

The Mixed Team wins and Mitsuami wins her very first battle! Goggles and Mitsuami wave Wrap and Sudadera goodbye as Horn Helmet bares her teeth in anger, saying that she won't lose to them next time. Horn Helmet then warns them that they are lot of strong guys in Splatlands, and not to get any eyes on you, as a target! Mitsuami asks Goggles to tell her about real battles as she wants to battle more! and Goggles does and wants her to tell abouts about the Splatlands!

Meanwhile Specs. Headphones and Bobble Hat arrive at the Splatlands, and they are worried about Goggles' whereabouts!

**How will Goggles and Mitsuami’s adventure continue?**
