[twittering]

[gasps] Bouncing begonias!

An ashmina!

-[Wren] Huh?
-[Watts] Really?

The ashmina plant is special

because its flower only blooms
for one minute a year.

Ooh! When is that, Treena?

At noon on the longest day of the year.

That's today!

What's so special about noon today?

It's the only time
the sun will be in just the right position

for a ray of sunlight to touch the plant.

That little bit of sunlight
is all the plant needs

and all it can handle.

[gasps] It looks like the light
is starting to come through!

-[Clay] Yeah!
-[Watts] Check it out.

[all] Whoa!

I learned about the ashmina
in my plant science classes.

Oh, but it's even more amazing in person.

Hot Sparks!

Can we take the ashmina
back to the academy?

No, Watts.

It's important to leave nature
how you found it.

[rustling]

That was super-duper amazing!

The ashmina's flower was beautiful.

Oh, time to head back.

I have a plant experiment
for the class to do.

Plant-tastic!

Bye, ashmina.

Yeah, that was awesome!

-So fun!
-To the MegaPlane!

-Environment class with Nelly is the best!
-Make sure you get everything you brought.

We should always leave nature
how we found it.

Ugh. We still don't have
all the Junior Critter Scout badges.

We need one more.

The Once in a Blue Noon Badge.

And then we'll be Senior Critter Scouts!

Ooh! What's that?

It's so pretty!

[gasps] It looks just like the flower
on the Blue Noon Badge.

Huh. I bet we can earn the badge
by taking the plant with us

to show our troop leader.

Um… I'm not sure we should--

Then we'll be Senior Critter Scouts!
[squeals]

[birds chirping]

[Maddy] We're gonna get
our Once in a Blue Noon Badge in no time.

I'm gonna take a few cuttings
so I can grow some new plants,

just for me.

-How's the ashmina doing, Gabby?
-Oh! [chuckles]

I don't know, Abby.

It's in the sun. Why isn't it blooming?
Shouldn't it be blooming, Maddy?

Um, I'd like to buy a pickle pie.

-Oh!
-A customer!

We should go help her.

[sighs] Fine.

[mystical chiming]

[girls] Thank you!

-Huh?
-[Maddy gasps]

That can't be good.

And the results of our experiment.

Turning lemons into lemonade!

[kids] Thanks, Nelly!

Oh, I have the perfect thing
to go with that lemonade.

-[Clay] Nice, Treena!
-[Wren] That looks berry yummy.

Thank you. It was nothing.

My Awesomer Blossomer
did most of the work.

Aw, don't give your
Awesomer Blossomer so much credit.

I wouldn't give my trowel
all the credit for digging in my garden.

Which reminds me,
I need to get back to my tomatoes.

There's the Action Pack!
We've been looking for you.

Hiya, Abby, Gabby, and Maddy.

We need your help. Something-- Oof!

Someone has taken
all the pickle pies from our stand.

[chuckles nervously] Can you believe it?

Um, yeah.

-We can help you get your pies back.
-Sounds like we have a mission.

Action Pack, circle up, hoodies up, and…

[all] Take action!

♪ Action Pack! ♪

♪ Here we go! ♪

Treena, mighty flowers and plant powers!

Clay, Plasma Power and Invinci-ball!

Wren, changing up
with animal powers, roar!

Watts, super charged electric zaps!

[Wren roars]

Action Pack,
our mission is to find those pickle pies.

First, look for who took the pies.

When we find them,
we get the pickle pies back.

[zaps]

And then we give
the pies back to the pie stand.

[all cheering] Woo-hoo!

Come on, let's go!

[all] Action On!

[Wren roars]

We need to find those pickle pies.

Hey, my cupcake!

Great gladiolus!

Did that cupcake just disappear?

[gasps] My juice!

Where did that juice go?

Oh! Huh?

Oh Zap! A vine just took
Mr. Grumpman's sandwich!

[Mr. Grumpman] Oh, my turkey sandwich!

[gobbling]

That's the ashmina!

-How did it get here?
-How did it get so big?

And did it just eat a banana
and a sandwich?

Hmm. Getting all this sunlight
must be making the ashmina grow.

Growing takes a lot of energy,

so it needs to eat,
and it's eating everything.

So the ashmina's usually
the small size it's meant to be

because it lives in the shady woods?

Exactly, Clay.

It never should have been taken
from its home.

-Hey, Critter Scouts!
-[gasps]

It's our troop leader!

-[Paleo Paulette] And hey, Action Pack!
-[all] Hi, Paleo Paulette!

Critter Scouts, I got your message
that you have the plant

for the Once in a Blue Noon Badge.

And by "have," I hope you meant a picture,

'cause you know what we say about nature.

Leave it how you found it.

That looks like the ashmina flower.

Yeah, we sort of took the plant
from the woods.

-What?
-[gasps]

-Oh no!
-You're not supposed to do that.

Why would you take the ashmina
from the woods?

The Once in a Blue Noon Badge
is the only badge we don't have.

And we need it to graduate
to Senior Critters Scouts,

and I must become a Senior Critter Scout!

But you forgot the first rule
of being a Critter Scout.

Always do the right thing.

We're going to need your help finding
the ashmina, so we can bring it back home.

Okay.

-We're here to help.
-Sure.

All right, Action Pack.

[Action Pack] Action On!

[mysterious music plays]

-[gasps]
-Huh? What was that?

[gobbling]

[groans]

-Let's get out of here!
-[both scream]

[grumbling]

There it is! And it looks like eating food
is making it even bigger.

[gasps] It's headed
straight for Nelly's house!

[sniffing]

[grunting]

Oh no! Our lemonade!

-[footstep thuds]
-[grunts]

Not so fast!

We have to stop it
from eating any more food.

[ashmina groans]

[squawks]

[clangs]

[Treena grunts]

[electricity zaps]

-[grunting]
-[ashmina growls]

[strains]

These vines are sticky-icky!

I think they're stickier
than my Plasma Putty hands!

-Whoa.
-[zaps]

[growls]

[ashmina grunts]

[blows raspberry]

Watts! [grunts]

[ashmina groans]

[straining]

[grunts]

[strains]

[straining continues]

[shouts]

[gasps]

[clatters]

My Awesomer Blossomer. It's broken.

Oh no, Treena.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry about your Awesomer Blossomer.

-Oh no!
-The lemonade!

[grunts]

-[gibbers]
-[grunting]

[warbles]

Ha ha!

I can't help without my plant powers.

[sadly] I'll just be in the way!

[Watts] Aah! Watch out!

[grunts]

Oh Zap!

-[kids yelp]
-[grumbling]

[kids groan]

[grumbles, munches]

[gulps]

[grunts]

Ugh. Talk about a sticky-icky situation.

If we use our powers at the same time,
we should get unstuck.

[all grunt]

-Yay!
-Woo-hoo!

-Ha ha!
-Where did the ashmina go?

[woman] Help! I can't get out!

-Fiddlesticks!
-Help!

-[groaning]
-[Clay] Those people need our help!

-Help!
-We're stuck!

-Hope Springs is in trouble!
-[Wren] Come on!

[sighs] I hope Treena is okay.

How can I be a hero if it's broken?

Treena? What's wrong?

My Awesomer Blossomer.
I don't know what to do.

[gasps] Oh, Treena.

I'm so sorry.
Is there anything I can do to help?

No.

But maybe I could just hang out with you?

Of course.

I was just on my way to the garden.

[townspeople grunting]

[girls] We're stuck!

[Wren roars, strains]

Free as a kitty-kitten!

-Or is it a birdy-bird?
-Thanks, Action Pack!

-[Watts grunting]
-[Paleo Paulette] Phew!

[grunts] There you go.

[Paleo Paulette]
Thanks for the save, Action Pack.

According to the Critter Scout manual,

the sap of the ashmina plant
is the stickiest sap in nature.

Now that we're free, Critter Scouts,
we can go help the other people.

[townspeople grunting, groaning]

-We can handle this one, Action Pack.
-Critter Scouts to the rescue!

Um, Action Pack?

Look at that!

-[girl] Hey!
-[gulps]

[warbling]

That looks like a cutesy-wootsy
baby version of the ashmina.

It must have come from the big ashmina.

If the little one's making
all the trouble,

where's the big one?

I'll get the MegaPlane
and look for the big one.

-You guys take care of the little one.
-[both] Okay!

It shouldn't be too hard
to stop one little plant.

Let's go get our save on!

Where'd it go?

-[ashmina coos]
-[Watts] There it is!

-Wait.
-[Wren] There it goes!

[Watts] Got you now!

-[Wren] Oh no, you don't!
-[both grunt]

Now to find the big ashmina.
Action On! Mega Plasma Vision.

[beeps, powers up]

[whirring]

There it is!

[grumbles, grunts]

Whoa!

-[alarm blaring]
-That was a close one.

I'm gonna need some help.

Hey, Watts. I found the big ashmina.
I'll come and help with the little one.

-We can get the big one together.
-Sounds good, Clay.

[gibbers]

We got him now. This will be easy.

-[ashmina gibbers]
-[Watts grunts] I got him!

-[ashmina grunts]
-Aah!

-Don't got him. Run!
-[ashmina grumbling]

When I have a problem, working in
my garden helps me find a solution

and feel better.

Maybe you can help me with these plants.

I can try,

but without my Awesomer Blossomer,
I don't have my plant powers.

[chuckles] You don't need any plant powers
to hold this tomato seed for me.

Um… Okay.

Even after years of studying plants,
I'm still amazed by them.

Take that tomato seed in your hand.

It uses a little help from water
and sunshine along the way,

but that seed already has
everything it needs inside it

to become a big tomato plant.

Now, you wanna hand me that seed?

Sure.

[gasps] Wait, did I just do that?

How?

[chuckles]

I don't know much about superpowers,
but I do know about nature.

I think your powers were like a seed
growing inside of you,

blossoming into something huge
and wonderful.

[energy pulses]

My plant powers didn't come
from my Blossomer.

They came from me!

Maybe the Awesomer Blossomer
just channeled your powers.

Like the MegaPlane channels
Clay's Plasma Vision

and Wren's Cheetah Speed.

[chuckles] Exactly!

You're capable of so much more
than you know.

I grew this plant.

Maybe I could grow my Blossomer too!

Why don't you give it a try?

[inhales deeply]

[energy pulsating]

-[wind gusts]
-[gasps]

[music builds]

[kid] Oh no!

-Can someone help?
-[man] Help, Action Pack!

-Save us!
-[gasps] What's going on?

[woman] Help!

[grunting]

-[Watts shouts]
-[ashmina squawks]

-[grunting]
-[MegaPlane whooshes]

Invinci-ball!

What happened?

I didn't realize
there'd be four little ashminas.

[grunts]

Oof!

There's too many of them!

[ashminas grumbling]

-[woman] Help!
-[both] Help!

Action Pack!

[townspeople] Save us!

[gibbering]

[Wren] Oh no!

-Aah…
-[nervously] Oh!

[growls]

[all grunt]

-I wish Treena were here.
-[wind whooshing]

-Huh?
-Huh?

-Treena!
-Treena!

Action On! Petal Flurry! Ha!

[squawks]

[grunting]

Hi-yah!

Action On! Vine Time!

[grunting]

[squawks, warbles]

It's a vine time-out!

[squeals]

[all] Whoa!

[grunts]

[whirring]

-[man gasps]
-Ooh!

[yips, pants]

Treena, you're back!
And, oh, it's an even awesomer Blossomer!

Hot Sparks!

You must've got a Power Up.
Ooh, I can't wait to get my Power Up!

-I'm glad you're okay, Treena.
-Thanks, team.

[Gabby] Uh, Action Pack?

We messed up.

We should've never taken
the ashmina plant from its home.

Yeah.

And I shouldn't have taken
some cuttings from the ashmina plant.

[Maddy and Abby] Wait, what?

[Gabby] With some types of plants,

you can cut off a piece
and use it to grow a whole new plant,

but I didn't know those little cuttings
would take over the park.

What a Tyrannosaurus wreck!

I taught you that you should leave nature
the way you found it.

You're gonna have to redo your
nature test to keep your nature badges.

[girls] We understand,
Troop Leader Paleo Paulette.

We're sorry, Action Pack.
How can we help make this right?

I know what we can do.

Here's the plan.

The ashmina isn't bad.
It just needs to get back home.

[jaunty music playing]

Since direct sunlight made it grow,

we need to get the ashmina
and the cuttings in some shade.

Then they'll calm down
and shrink back to the right size.

After that,
we can get them onto the MegaPlane

and bring them back to the woods.

-Watts, get the MegaPlane.
-Got it, Treena.

Oh Zap! The little ashminas
got out of vine time-out!

We have to find them
before they cause more trouble.

Clay and Wren,
you spread out and look for them.

-Okey dokey!
-You got it!

Watts, you keep an eye out
in the MegaPlane.

Okay!

Paleo Paulette, Abby, Maddy, and Gabby,
let's take a look around the park.

They couldn't have gone far.

Critter Scouts are always there
to lend a helping hand!

[Wren] Sneaky Fox.

[sniffing]

[ashmina gobbling]

-[gasps]
-[munches, gulps]

[whispering] Psst. Over here.

[both grunt]

-Thank you, Wren.
-Can I borrow your pot, Nelly?

Sure.

[munching]

[warbling]

Gotcha!

-[beeps]
-Ready for you, Watts!

You got it!

[chewing] Mmm.

-[grunts]
-Here you go, little fella.

[munching]

[gulps, belches]

Oh! There's one.

[ashmina warbles]

Huh? Hmm.

You're safe now, Mr. Grumpman.

-Oh, can I have your doughnut box?
-Certainly.

-Thank you.
-[beeps]

Send in the MegaPlane.

[grunts]

Oh!

Oh, fiddlesticks!

[ashmina gobbling]

[belches, sniffing]

[Gabby] Wait for it.

Wait for it.

[licks lips]

[both] Now!

[grunts inquisitively]

[angry warbling]

[chuckles] Great job, Critter Scouts!

Good thing we have
our Cleaning Up the Park Badge.

[grunting]

Yah!

[thuds]

[squawks]

[grunts] Action On! Petal Power Shield!

[chiming]

[grunts]

[confused grunt]

[grunts]

Action On! Petalcopter Power!

[whirring rapidly]

[grunts] Gotcha!

Hoo! Dino-mighty, Treena.

[MegaPlane whooshes]

Awesome, Treena.
That's the last ashmina cutting.

Now, let's go get the big one.

-[Cold Snap] Here's a new flavor. Enjoy!
-[grumbling]

Ah, the new Chillax Blast.

-[footstep reverberates]
-Whoa! Hey, that's not…

-[grunts]
-[nervously] …uh, cool.

[exhales]

Whoa! [yelps]

[munching]

[screams]

Oh no!

It just keeps eating more and more food!

Time to finish this plan of action.

Since this ashmina's gotten so big,

I need you to block the direct sunlight
from the ashmina's vines.

And then I'll take care
of the main part of the plan.

-Woo-hoo!
-All right!

Yeah!

-What do you need us to do?
-Huh.

We'll need your help
to find some food to use as bait.

Oh! They really seem to like pickle pies.

-Yeah!
-Plant-tastic!

-[grumbling]
-[clatters]

We're coming for you, ashmina.

-Action On!
-[all] Action On!

-Hey, ashmina.
-[coos]

[chomps]

[warbles]

-[groans]
-[Clay grunts] Action On!

[giggles]

-[groans]
-Hi there!

I got a yummy pickle pie!

We've got umbrellas too.

[grunting inquisitively]

Gotcha! [chuckles]

[warbling]

[groans]

-[Abby] Hey, it's working!
-[Wren] Yeah! That wasn't so hard.

-[gasps] Look out!
-[girls] Huh?

What?

Aah! No! No, stop!

[munching]

[belches]

[grumbles, roars]

[squawks]

[dramatic music playing]

[grunts]

-[all gasp]
-[Wren] Oh nosies!

[grunts]

What do we do now?

It's gonna get all the pies!

Leave it to me.

[sweeping orchestral music playing]

[chimes]

[grunting]

[powering up]

[clicks, powers down]

I'm sorry you were taken
from your home, ashmina.

We just want to help you get back.

[grumbling sadly]

[angry warbling]

I promise I won't hurt you.

Please trust me.

Action On! Instant Change!

[warbles]

[suspenseful music building]

[cracking]

[grunting]

-[shrieks]
-[Treena, echoing] Trust me.

[grunts]

Did anyone know she could do that?
'Cause, oh my goodness, that was amazing!

Wasn't that amazing?

-Woo-hoo!
-Whoo!

-[Watts] Yeah!
-Treena!

Hot sparks!

Treena, that was fantastic!

[Treena] Great job, everyone.

Now let's get the ashmina
on the MegaPlane.

[quiet gibbering]

Did any of you say anything?

-Not me.
-Nope.

-No.
-Uh-uh.

[gibbering continues]

Goodness greenness!
I think it's trying to say something.

Plants can talk?

I've never heard them before.

I guess I can hear them now
because of my Power Up.

You can talk to plants
like I can talk to animals!

[ashmina mumbling]

Prickly pine cones!

I see.

It must be scary being in a new place
and not knowing how to get home.

Oh Zap.

Poor ashmina.

Don't worry, ashmina.

We can help you.

Just like I promised.

Critter Scouts, what did we learn?

Leave nature how you found it.

[Wren] Aw!

The ashminas look happy as clams!

They also look a lot smaller.

They're the size they're supposed to be,
because they're back where they belong.

We shouldn't have taken the plant
out of the woods.

-We won't mess with nature again.
-What they said.

[Insignias chime]

-Mission accomplished.
-Woo-hoo!

-Nice!
-Yeah! [giggles]

[Mr. Ernesto over radio]
Action Pack, Morpho Monica is back.

We need you at the Action Academy, fast!

All right, Action Pack.

[Action Pack] Action On!

[ending theme music playing]
