The episode begins with the Turtles looking at a commercial of Lou Jitsu's Hot Soup: The Game.

Jolteon: Awesome~! We have to get it!

Mikey: Let's check the internet! (as he's searching) Ah-ha! Found it! Montes Auction House! (presses buy) Oh~ baby! We have become proud owners of a vintage, mint-conditioned Hot Soup: (raises arms up) The Game!

Midnight Lycanroc: But there's one problem.

Raph: It's an auction house! How are we gonna get in with this whole situation?

Mikey: Not to worry. 'Cause I'm gonna get it. All by myself.

Raph: By yourself?! Have you lost your ooze-twisted mind?!

Mikey: I'm not a baby, Raph. I have the squills, the moves, and the (throws smoke bomb down) ninja realness! I'm ready!

Midnight Lycanroc: Oh sure you are... In 7 to 8 years! For now, this is too dangerous for someone like you to go by yourself.

Leo: I'll say we should let him. After all, you and Raph went on your own when Raph was at Mikey's age.

Raph: That's because at that time, I was two years older than him!

Raichu: That isn't correct at all!

Leo: I think he needs work on his math.

Raichu: Rai Rai...

Raph: Donnie, can you make them change their minds?!

Donnie: Huh? Well whatever Leo says is correct.

Mikey: (hugs Donnie) Thanks for believing in me, Donnie. (gets patted by Donnie's machine; hugs Leo) I love you, Leo and as for you, Raph. (pokes him) You get last game! Mikey out.

Leo and Lemon chuckles happily.

Raph: Mikey, you forgot your...! (groans in annoyance)

Male Pyroar: You want me to go after him?

Raph: You know what? Yeah, you should go with him. Just in case he needs any help.

Male Pyroar: Understood, Raphael. (leaves)

Secretary (on speaking moniter): Mr. Gopher, Veneranda has arrived in your office.

Mr. Gopher: Send her in, Karen.

Karen: Yes, sir. (hangs up)

Veneranda enters the office.

Veneranda: (salutes) Veneranda Bertucci, reporting for duty, Mr. G!

Mr. Gopher: So glad you came as fast as possible, Ms. Bertucci.

Veneranda: What do you need me to do?! Do an interview? Investigate something?! Or maybe... (takes out a hot chocolate pouch) do you want me to make you some delicious hot chocolate?!

Mr. Gopher: Nothing like that. You see, I have order a Heavy Ball from Montes Auction House.

Veneranda: Heavy Ball? You mean the one that is gray on the top half with blue bulges on it?

Mr. Gopher: That's correct! I need you to go to Montes Auction House and get me the Heavy Ball. Here's my receipt in case they need to see it.

Veneranda: Okay, Mr. G! I shall get that Heavy Ball from the auction house and come back as soon as possible! You can totally count on me! (runs off)

|Meanwhile|

Jolteon: This is so exciting! Our first solo mission! Can't you believe it?!

Mikey: Yeah! But remember, we're here to get the game. So stay focus on that.

Jolteon: Right! Focus on the game. Focus on the game... I totally get it. (spots Montes Auction House) Found the place, Mikester!

Mikey: Now let's get inside!

Jolteon: (nods) Right!

The two went inside via skylight. After that, the scene changes to the Foot Clan who are on top of the building across Montes Auction House.

Granbull: So this is it eh?

Houndour: That's right. You two did a great job on your training. Now in order to pass, you must do a mission by yourself.

Foot Recruit: I see. Then I'm gonna crush everything!

Foot Brute: No, no. No crushing.

Foot Lieutenant: Your mission is to retrieve a mysterious artifact that belongs to the one name Lou Jitsu.

Foot Brute: Who is our favorite actor of all time!

Houndoom: I absolutely love his movies! It's amazing!

Foot Recruit: Then I shall learn more about this. Senseis, we will not fail! We will succeed in this mission and will be promoted of being official members of the Foot! You will not be disappointed! Granbull, let's go!

Together: (leaps) FOOT CLAN~!!!!!!!!!!

Houndour: Well someone had drink their coffee this morning.

|Veneranda|

Veneranda: This must be Montes Auction House. (tries to open the door) Huh? Looks like it's closed for tonight.

Shaymin (Garcia): Then what should we do now, Veneranda?!

Veneranda: Not to worry, Garcia! I have a plan! (takes out a star chip from her purse) Star chip, I wish to open a portal inside the auction house!

The star chip floats to the doors and opens a star-shaped portal to a room full of items. She enters it but before it could close, a mysterious figure enters it as well.

Veneranda: We're in. (looks around) It looks rather dark and spooky... I hope we don't get jumpscared by a monster.

Shaymin: And there's a lot of stuff in here! Where are we gonna find a Heavy Ball among this mess?!

Veneranda: (takes out Pokeball) Granite, come on out!

Rockruff (has a heart-shaped mark around her right eye): Rockruff!

Veneranda: Granite, I need you to sniff out that Heavy Ball please!

Rockruff: Sure thing, Randa! (starts sniffing) Follow me! (continues sniffing)

Veneranda follows Granite to a room full of armor.

Veneranda: This must be the armor room. There's so many of them. I wonder if the Heavy Ball is in this room. (hears something) Huh? (looks ups and shrieks)

[CRASH]

Mikey: (groans)

Jolteon: We need to work on your landing.

Veneranda: Uh... Hello?

Mikey: (gasps) Omigosh! (stands up) I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were there! So sorry about that! (helps her get up) Are you okay?! Are you hurt?!

Veneranda: Calm down... I'm alright. Don't worry about it. (chuckles and pets his head) My name is Veneranda and this is Garcia the Shaymin and Granite the Rockruff.

Shaymin: Hello!

Rockruff: Nice to meet you!

Veneranda: What's yours?

Mikey: (blushes) Um... I'm Michelangelo. But you can call me Mikey. And this is Sparky the Jolteon.

Jolteon: Hiya!

Veneranda: Michelangelo eh? That's a cool name! Nice to meet you! So~ what are you doing here?

Mikey: Well, I was going to get Hot Soup: The Game! Featuring my favorite actor, Lou Jitsu!

Veneranda: Awesome! For me, I'm here to get a Heavy Ball for my boss, Mr. Gopher. And I know what you're gonna ask so let me explain.

Mikey: Okay.

Veneranda: You see, I'm a news reporter for the Mystical Hidden Times. It's a newspaper company in the Hidden City who delivers the latest news around New York.

Mikey: Cool! But you're so adorable! Like a puppy!

Veneranda: I know. And that's why I use my cuteness as an advantage. Nobody don't want to see any cute girls upset. So they'll just give me whatever information they have. I can even use it during investigations.

Mikey: Wow~... You must be really brave to do something like that.

Veneranda: (chuckles happily) Thank you. You know, Mikey, I'll give you a new nickname. You seem to be the funny one. So~ I should call you Chunkie Wunkie. Is that okay with you?

Mikey: Sure! I don't mind at all!

Veneranda: Yay!

Foot Recruit: You two! (they turn around) What are you doing here?!

Mikey: I'm... a customer. And we're here to get the Lou Jitsu video game.

Veneranda: And for the Heavy Ball.

Foot Recruit: Lou (narrows her eyes) Jitsu?

Jolteon: Are you narrowing your eyes because you LIKE Lou Jitsu?

Foot Recruit: Lou Jitsu~! Yes I do. Punch Chowder is my favorite movie of all time.

Mikey: Oh okay. Well if you- (notices his receipt got swiped) What the?!

Foot Recruit: I shall return. Stay here and don't do anything! Granbull, stay here with them and make sure they don't do anything stupid.

Granbull: (nods) Sure thing. (thinking) It seems they're here for the artifact as well. I shall keep an eye on them to make sure they don't try anything funny.

Veneranda: Wow~! Look at all the shiny accessories! This would be perfect for you two!

Rockruff: It would?!

Granbull: Eh?! What are you doing?!

Veneranda: Just looking at the accessories. Why?

Granbull: You're not supposed to touch anything! That's the rule!

Jolteon: (juggling the Love Ball) What's wrong with that?! It's not like we're gonna break anything!

Granbull: That's the Love Ball! When did you get that?!

Jolteon: It was in the box over there. It has full of different things. And this was in it.

Granbull: Don't you know you could break that thing?! Now put it down before you break it!

Jolteon: Jeez, what's your problem? I'm not gonna break it. And besides, who made you the boss?

Granbull: Why you...! (pounces at Sparky)

Jolteon: (dodges while juggling the Love Ball) Miss me, dude! (raspberries)

Granbull: Now you're gonna get it!

Jolteon: Mikey, catch! (throws Love Ball at Mikey before running away from Granbull) Come and get me, loser!

Granbull: Don't call me a loser! (pounces but missed) Hold still, you little twerp!

Shaymin: Um...

Veneranda: Sparky, Granbull, stop! You're gonna break something!

Mikey: Yeah! You need to stop before you break everything! And I'm not gonna pay for the damages. (shakes his head) Nope, not at all. (looks at Love Ball) I wonder if something is inside this ball. Better be safe than sorry. (throws Love Ball)

The Love Ball opens and Rockruff appears from it. This Rockruff has musical notes all over its fur.

Rockruff: Another Rockruff?! And it has musical notes on it!

Rockruff 2: Huh? Where am I? (yawns)

Male Pyroar: Michelangelo!

Mikey: (groans) King, what are you doing here? Did Raphael send you here to make sure I'm "safe"?

Male Pyroar: Correct. You know he worries about you.

Mikey: Well tell him everything is going smoothly!

Veneranda: So is Raph one of your brothers?

Mikey: Yup! (groans loudly) I hate it when he gets overprotective of me. Just because I'm the youngest doesn't mean I should be treated like a baby!

Veneranda: It sounds like Raph is a loving person. He's always thinking about your safety.

Mikey: Yeah... But he needs to understand that I'm not a baby and that I need protection. I can take care of myself!

Veneranda: I see...

Foot Recruit returns with a spear. She kicks Mikey from behind.

Mikey: (pops his head out while his arms and legs are inside) Hey! What's the big idea?!

Foot Recruit: An enemy of the Foot-clan must perish! You will not claim the artifact!

Mikey: But I have a receipt?!

Veneranda: If you want to hurt Chunkie Wunkie, you have to come through me first! (to Mikey) Leave this to me!

Mikey: Okay! Sparky, Rockruff with musical notes, King, come with me! (scurries off with them)

Foot Recruit: They're getting away! Granbull, go after them and make sure they perish!

Granbull: Right! (chases after them) I won't let them escape!

Veneranda: (growling) I won't let you hurt anybody! Garcia, use Magical Leaf!

Shaymin: Magical Leaf!

Foot Recruit: If it's a Pokemon Battle you want, it's a Pokemon Battle you get! (throws Pokeball) Come on out, Crobat and use Steel Wing!

Crobat: Crobat! Steel Wing! (slashes Energy Ball)

Foot Recruit: Now use Air Cutter!

Crobat: Air Cutter!

Shaymin: (screams)

Veneranda: Garcia, don't give up! Use Seed Flare!

Foot Recruit: Dodge it!

Garcia uses Seed Flare but Crobat dodges it.

Foot Recruit: You won't defeat me. I shall complete my mission no matter what! Haze, Crobat!

Crobat: Haze...

Veneranda, Shaymin and Rockruff: (coughing)

Foot Recruit and Crobat runs off while they are distracted by Haze.

Veneranda: Huh? Oh no! They disappeared...

|Michelangelo|

Granbull: Come back here, you pests!

Jolteon: What's the plan, Mikester?!

Mikey: Sparky, Pin Missile! King, Flamethrower!

Jolteon: You got it, Mikester! (stops and turns) Pin Missile!

Male Pyroar: Flamethrower!

Granbull: Water Pulse!

Jolteon: Eh?

Granbull: Focus Punch! (punches King and Sparky)

Jolteon: (grunts loudly) He's very strong...

Male Pyroar: But we mustn't surrender. We must stop Granbull from reaching to Mikey. You go ahead. I shall deal with Granbull.

Jolteon: Okay, King! Be careful! (leaves)

Granbull: Why are you getting in my way?!

Male Pyroar: Because Raphael sent me here to make sure Michelangelo is safe. And I shall do my duty to protect Michelangelo from criminals such as yourself.

Granbull: Well then, bring it on! I can take you down with just Focus Punch alone!

Male Pyroar: That won't happen. Fire Blast!

|Foot Recruit|

Foot Recruit: I found you, turtle! It's time to make you perish into oblivion! Crobat, use Air Cutter and make him suffer!

Crobat: Air Cutter!

But Air Cutter only cuts the armor.

Mikey: Thank goodness this armor protected me! (dodges attack) Rockruff, could you help me out on this one?

Rockruff: Me? But I haven't fought for a long time. I'm too weak.

Mikey: Don't say that. I know you can do it. Trust me. Even the weakest can become the strongest if they keep trying and never gave up. So what do you say?

Rockruff: I guess... I guess I can try...

Mikey: That's the spirit! Now then, let's see what you can do!

Rockruff: Right!

Foot Recruit: Ha! You'll never defeat me. (starts attacking Mikey)

Mikey: (dodging attacks) Rockruff, use Tackle on her!

Rockruff: Tackle!

Crobat: Not so fast. Air Cutter!

Rockruff: (grunts)

Foot Recruit slams Mikey to a wall.

Mikey: Ow...

Rockruff: Are you okay?

Mikey: I'm fine... (spots something) There it is! The game I was looking for! Finally! My mission is complete. I can grab this, grab Sparky and King, and get outta here.

Foot Recruit: Not so fast. I'll be grabbing that from you. (pounces at Mikey)

Mikey: (grabs video game and dodges) Hey, I saw this fair and square! So it's mine! (runs off)

Jolteon: Wait for me, Mikey! (panting) So much... running...

The three headed to the exit door. However, it was locked.

Rockruff: Now what?! The door's locked!

Mikey: Uh...

Foot Recruit: I got you where I want you to be. (throws kunais)

Mikey: (shrieks and dodges) Uh... (looks at window) I know what to do!

He climbs to the window but Foot Recruit grabs his legs.

Mikey: Let go of me! (hears his phone ringing and picks up) Hello?

Raph: Hey buddy. I just wanna check on you to see if everything's fine. Everything's fine right?

Mikey: Yes Raph. Everything is under control! Don't worry!

Jolteon: Let go of him! Thunderbolt~!

Raph: What was that?

Mikey: That was Sparky. Anyways, everything is fine! So I'll call you later! Bye! (hangs up)

Raph: My overprotective brother instincts are kicking in. Donnie, could you hacked into that auction house system?

Donnie: Oh sure~... Let me hack into the entire New York system through my hack app. You think I'm being sarcastic but I'm not.

They look at the monitor to see Mikey, Sparky and Rockruff walking around. They then see Veneranda catching up to them along with King and a human boy with an Absol.

Raph: (blushes) Who's that girl with the polar bear hat?

Donnie: I don't know. Maybe Mikey's new friends?

They then see them dodging Foot Recruit's attacks.

Raph: Mikey's in danger! Let's go save him!

|Michelangelo|

Veneranda: Mikey, catch! (grabs and throws umbrella)

Mikey: (catches umbrella) Thanks!

Crobat: Wing Attack!

Jolteon: Thunderbolt! Sorry but that won't work!

Granbull: (growling) We aren't finished yet, you little pipsqueak! (pounces at Sparky) Now that I got you, I shall destroy you. (starts using Ice Fang) Hope you like the cold.

Mikey: Sparky! (blocks)

Veneranda: Let him go, Granbull! Garcia, Energy Ball!

Shaymin: Energy Ball!

Granbull: (grunts and growls) I won't be defeated by a pipsqueak! (charges at Garcia and Veneranda)

Jolteon: (stands up and runs after Granbull) Don't you dare~! (starts glowing) Thunder Fang!

Granbull: (screams in pain) What the?!

Jolteon: (Mystic Form) I won't let you hurt them!

In this form, the white spiky ruff changes color to orange. The spiky fringe around the tail changes to an orange hue along with the tips of his ears and paws. A pair of burnt orange goggles appears on his head along with an apricot-colored scarf wrapped around his neck. His eyes changes color to international orange with amber lightning bolt-shaped pupils.

Foot Recruit: What? Mystic Evolution? That's the one I always wanted to obtain. You! How did you get your Pokemon to unlock it?! I need to know!

Mikey: Me?! I have no idea! It just... happens. Look, I don't know much about Mystic Evolution. Not even my brothers can figure that out.

Foot Recruit: I see. I shall tell you since I have studied about this evolution. Mystic Evolution is an evolution that gives Pokemon extra strength. It's one of the many evolutions that a Pokemon can get. The main source of Mystic Evolution is the weapons.

Mikey: The weapons?! So you mean the magical ones?!

Foot Recruit: Correct. Now let's resume our battle.

Jolteon: Right! Let's try this one for size! Thunderbolt~!

Granbull: (screams in pain)

Shaymin: Don't you think that's a bit too much?

Jolteon: No worries. We do stuff like this all the time.

Shaymin: Really?! But Granbull's huge compared to us!

Jolteon: Size doesn't matter in a fight. You have to rely on skills alone. You can't worry about your opponent's size. You gotta worry about what trick you have up your sleeves. That's what matters most.

Shaymin: I see... I guess you're right about that. I may be small but (starts glowing) I'm just as mighty as any Pokemon who's bigger and stronger than me! (transforms into Mystic Form)

In this form, the Gracidea flower changes color to icy blue with the leaves becomes longer along with icy blue streaks appearing on it. The white fur now has pink heart marks on it and the green grass-like fur now has light pink highlights all over it. Her eyes changes color to tea rose with star-shaped pupils.

Granbull: (fainted)

Foot Recruit: (sighs) Granbull, return.

As she continues to attack Mikey, he uses the umbrella to grab the game from her and they go back and forth. Mikey bumps into an ice cream kitty statue. He caught it and put it back.

Mikey: Aw~! So cute!

Jolteon: I would love to have that in your room! It's too adorable!

Foot Recruit threw ninja stars at Mikey. They ducked but the ice cream kitty statue was broken in pieces.

Mikey: You monster!

Jolteon: Now you're gonna pay for that! Pin Missile!

Crobat: Air Cutter! (slashes Pin Missile)

Male Pyroar: Flamethrower!

Absol: Shadow Ball!

They dodged their attacks.

Foot Recruit: Just give up. You three won't stand a chance against us! (charges at them)

Mikey uses the umbrella to block the attack.

Jolteon: Huh? A beach ball and a cloth. (gasps) I know! (grabs beach ball and cloth) Wonder what I can do. Thunderbolt~!

The beach ball and cloth combined to create a bouncing cloth.

Jolteon: Awesome! I can combine anything! Yo Mikester, use this! (throws cloth ball at Mikey)

Mikey: (catches it) Thanks! (throws it at Foot Recruit) Take this! (kicks ball which causes Foot Recruit to be trapped in harp strings.

Absol: That was a good strategy. Right, Osman? (Osman nods)

Rockruff with the musical notes takes the game from her hand and gives it to Mikey.

Mikey: Thanks. Mission complete! I got the game! Now to- (gets attacked by the door) Narf!

Raph: We've come to save you buddy!

Mikey: (muffles) Raph~...

Raichu: Uh-oh. Sorry about that, Mikey.

The Foot Brute and Foot Lieutenant calls the Foot Recruit but they saw the Turtles.

Foot Lieutenant: It's them!

Foot Brute: It's an ambush! (leaves)

Veneranda: Ah~! You must be Raph, right?!

Mikey: Raph, why are you here?! I was literally gonna leave! What point of "by myself" don't you get?!

Raph: Listen, little man.

Jolteon: What did you just say?!

Raph: I mean, big man! I just wanna say... I'm sorry for coming here but I thought you need our help and...

Leo: We get it! We apologize. Now come on. We have a game to play so~... Vamanos, hermanos! (Osman taps his shoulder) What is it? (Osman points to Foot Recruit) Oh~ her...

They attacked her but she easily defeats the Turtles.

Veneranda: Oh no! (tries to grab the game but didn't in time) Give that game back! They find it fair and square!

Foot Recruit: (laughing) Sorry but I need this for my test. Now to- (screams as Foot Brute and Foot Lieutenant crashes to the wall)

Foot Brute: Recruit, we came to save you!

Foot Recruit: (growls) Senseis, I was literally gonna leave! What point of "by myself" don't you understand?!

Mikey: Yeah! See?! She gets me!

Foot Brute: This is none of your business, pipsqueak!

Raph: Who are you calling a pipsqueak?!

Veneranda: Let's not fight you two. It's not worth it at all.

Foot Brute: You stay out of this, brat!

Raph: Hey! Don't call her a brat, toe-head!

Foot Brute: Who are you calling toe-head?!

Raph: You are! (pounces and starts fighting Foot Brute)

Foot Lieutenant picks up the game.

Foot Lieutenant: This isn't the artifact we need.

Foot Recruit: What? But this was the only Lou Jitsu thing here.

Foot Lieutenant: This mission (tosses game) is a failure. We should've have Josseline do this instead of you. (summons portal) Come on. You need more training.

Foot Recruit: I will not fail next time, Sensei! I shall train hard to be part of the Foot Clan!

Foot Lieutenant: Yes yes, I know you will.

The two enter the portal and it closes.

Rockruff: (picks up game) Here you go, Mikey!

Mikey: (grabs it) Thanks. And booyah! I got Hot Soup: The Game! Mission accomplish!

Jolteon and Rockruff: (cheering)

Mikey: (looks at Love Ball) You know, Musa. You wanna come with me?

Rockruff: Musa?

Mikey: That will be your new name. For now on, you'll be call Musa because of your musical notes.

Jolteon: And it'll be fun with you around! So you wanna come with us?!

Rockruff: Well~, yes! I wanna come with you!

Mikey: Perfect! I have a new Pokemon and I got the game! I'm so lucky!

Veneranda: Yeah you are! (chuckles)

The scene switches to the Lair where Mikey installs the game on a console call "PIXEL 2".

Veneranda: Is Raph going to be okay, Faith?

Faith: Well seeing that he had fought for a long period of time, this will take months for him to full recover. If anything happens, just call me and I'll run here. I'll also check him twice a week to see how he's doing so far.

Veneranda: Okay. Don't worry, Raph. We'll take good care of you while you recover. I promise.

Mikey turns on the console but sees that the game is not the style they were hoping for.

Jolteon: What?! This isn't what we imagine!

Flareon: It's a total rip-off.

Splinter: Is that Hot Soup: The Game?! Oh let me play it! (grabs controller) I will reach to the boss level! Watch me!

Leafeon: Well~, at least he likes it.

Jolteon: Right...
