The Krakken

The Krakken is the third episode of Ben 10.

Plot
The episode starts with Ben in a lake telling Gwen to swim with him. He later turns to FourArms (who is covered in seaweed) to try and scare Gwen, making her believe he's a seamonster. Then, without Gwen there to witness it, he encounters the Krakken. He tells Grandpa Max and Gwen, except they don't believe him. The next morning, Ben and Max rent a fishing boat, which belongs to Captain Shaw to, of course, go fishing. Shaw tells Ben and Max all about the Krakken and how he has been hunting it. Before entering a part of the lake, Jonah Melville, of the "Friends of Fish", says that that part is closed. After Shaw mentions the Krakken, Jonah says it's all just a hoax. While heading back to shore, they find that the Krakken is also heading for the shore. Knowing that Gwen is there, and also innocent bystanders, Ben jumps out of the boat, selects Ripjaws, but turns into XLR8. Ben rescues everybody at the shore, and attacks the Krakken while it's trying to get crates onboard the Friends of Fish boat and succeeds. Jonah says, "Our lunch," after Ben asks him what was in the crate. Ben questions Jonah about why they just risked their lives for something so tedious.

At night, Ben sneaks into Shaw's boat to go looking for the Krakken with Shaw. Shaw puts on a diving suit, and tells Ben not to follow him. While in the water, Shaw thinks he sees the Krakken, when it's really just Ben. When Shaw goes up without Ben, Jonah Melville and friends beat up Shaw, blow up his boat, and take him unconsious in their boat. Ben turns into Stinkfly, and rescues Shaw after being thrown overboard the boat. Gwen researches Jonah Melville on her laptop, and Ben, Max, Gwen, and Shaw figure out that he's actually a poacher after the Krakken's eggs (the contents of the crate stolen by the Krakken earlier).

Ben, Max, and Gwen "steal" Shaw's boat and head to the poachers lakeside hide out. There, they're crating up the eggs to sell. Ben turns to Ripjawas, fighting Jonah and the Krakken underwater while Gwen and Max deals with his henchmen on the surface. Ben successfully defeats Jonah in the remains of Shaw's boat and then peacefully returns the Krakken's eggs to her. On the surface Ben hands Jonah over to the police and in the closing scene the Krakken is cuddling her eggs.
