♪♪ >> Wibbley-wobbley!
I detect a foul odor.
>> Ewww!
>> What is that?
And where is it coming from?
>> Oh, we must find out immediately!
>> Don't worry, Queen Mum.
We're on it.
>> Follow that smell!
[ Sniffing ] Oh!
Found it.
>> Phew!
The smell is definitely coming from this plant!
>> Unfortunately, yes!
>> What is it?
>> Never saw it or partook of its malodorous fragrance before today.
>> We believe it's a weed of some sort.
>> These flowers are wilting.
>> Who could blame them?
It stinks here.
>> Well, if it's just a weed, let's pull it out.
>> Would it be okay to do that?
>> Wasn't here before.
>> Doesn't belong here, so it won't be missed.
>> I can't grow a plant, but pulling one out?
That I can do.
[ Straining ] This is one tough weed!
[ Rumbling ] >> Whoa!
>> [ Gasps ] >> Did that just happen?
>> There was one stinky plant, and now there are two.
Double ew.
>> I'll help.
[ Both straining ] [ Rumbling ] >> Yikes!
There were two stinky plants.
Now there are 1, 2, 3, 4!
Twice as many!
>> The smell doubled, too.
[ Rumbling ] >> Oh, no!
Now there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 stinky plants!
>> They doubled again!
>> I didn't touch them that time.
>> They're growing on their own!
>> We need more information.
[ Beeping ] It's called a Funky Flower.
>> What a perfect name!
>> It can only be found in Jungolia.
>> Jungolia?
Anything else?
>> It says if the Funky Flower is planted anywhere other than in Jungolia, it could become...an invasive species?!
>> Oh, no!
Not an invasive species!
It can't be an invasive species!
Wait.
What's an invasive species?
>> A plant that's taken from one place and planted somewhere else but doesn't get along with the plants that are already there.
>> What happens when the plants don't get along?
>> Oh!
This is not good!
This is not good at all!
>> What?
What does it say?
>> If a Funky Flower becomes invasive, it grows quickly, steals water, blocks sunlight, and crowds out other plants.
>> Yoikes!
Gardenia is in trouble.
>> We must save the Queen!
Move out!
[ Creaking ] >> You do realize we're planted in the ground, right?
>> Don't worry.
We'll help.
[ Straining ] [ Rumbling ] >> I hate to say this, guys, but it looks like the Funky Flower has become an invasive species!
>> And it's growing towards the Queen!
>> How close is it?
>> It still has a ways to go.
I'll measure.
It'll take forever to measure with this.
Wait!
The Queen said you can measure with anything.
Those hedges are the same size.
I can use them to measure.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
The weeds are eight hedges away from the Queen.
[ Rumbling ] Eh, make that seven.
>> Oh, the Funky Flower is spreading.
>> I guess Gardenia isn't so happy.
>> I guess not.
Soon, it will crowd out all of the plants and flowers, including Queen Mum!
>> But, Boss, if that happens... >> Yes?
>> ...who's going to be the leader of Gardenia?
>> Me, of course!
And with my invasive species doing all the work, those Earthbrats can't stop me!
I'll be king of Gardenia!
Yum.
>> The weeds are six hedges from the Queen.
>> The other plants and flowers are getting pushed out!
>> They have no space to grow!
>> Guys, calm down for a sec.
Let's observe what's happening and see if we can figure out what to do.
[ All scream ] >> Um...we better observe fast!
>> If we could just stop the roots from moving, maybe they'll stop growing.
>> But how?
Aah!
>> When we had a new puppy and didn't want her to run out of the yard, we put a fence around it.
>> A fence!
That's it!
We can use these rocks.
>> All right, Cybersquad.
Let's build a fence!
[ All grunt ] [ All grunt ] ♪♪ >> Done!
[ Rumbling ] >> Uh-oh!
>> We did it!
[ All cheering ] [ Rumbling ] >> Whoa.
What's happening?
W-what are they doing?
>> Hold on.
Seeds!
Aah!
Ooh!
Ow!
Ooh!
Aah!
>> Oh, no!
Now the seeds are growing into plants.
>> Didge!
How close are we to the Queen?
>> The weeds are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 hedges away...and moving fast.
>> We need a new plan and fast
