Ben 10[]
In Washington B.C., after kidnapping Gwen, Dr. Animo's mutant parrot perched itself on the Washington Monument. Gwen uses her emergency cell phone to tell Ben and Max her location. As she was about to fall, Ben turned into Stinkfly and saved her. The parrot attacked Stinkfly, and he attempted to battle the bird with Gwen in tow, while Max headed to the top of the monument. Seeing Max at one of the observation windows, Stinkfly dropped Gwen off there. Without the extra weight, he was able to take the mutant parrot down. Max then told him to go after Animo.

In Video Games, Will Harangue challenged Ben live on his show to a battle in Washington D.C. at 8 PM and Ben accepted, declaring that he's looking forward to finally putting Harangue in his place.
Ben, along with Gwen and Kevin, went to Washington D.C. and arrived at the National Mall. The Stalker came and turns on a monitor with Harangue's face on it, and through it, Harangue asked Ben if he had any last words. Ben simply said, "None that I'm allowed to say on television" and the fight is on with Ben transforming into Humungousaur. Ben's direct assault failed until Gwen and Kevin picked up the slack. However, they didn't fare much better until Ben tried taking him from behind. Unfortunately, the Stalker was prepared with tasers that Humungousaur was vulnerable to and sent him tumbling into the Washington Monument. As he bench-pressed it, Harangue's ratings were in and declared that it was time for the showstopper. That was when Ben finally realized that the video game scan was a setup to catalog all of his aliens' powers and combat skills, which Harangue then programmed into the Stalker with an endless arsenal of anti-alien countermeasures. Acknowledging the robot couldn't be defeated head-on with any of his own skills, Ben decided to use the moves from one of his Sumo Slammer video games as a clever way of going at the Stalker with unpredictability. His attack proved too effective, because doing so broke the Stalker's remote uplink to Harangue's control room and it rampaged through the park. Ben told Gwen and Kevin about the Stalker's secret weapons, but Kevin reminded him that the only alien the Stalker had no defense against was Nanomech. Ben transformed into him and Nanomech got inside the robot when Kevin shot him through a straw straight into it. Once inside, he smashed apart the robot's circuitry until he found and crossed two power plugs, shorting it out and defeating it for good.
