Plot

The movie tells about BoBoiBoy (Nur Fathiah Diaz), a boy who is the great superhero and has the elemental powers. But, he is very forgetful as he always forgot when his friends wanted to go out together with him. One day, BoBoiBoy's day to go camping was here. Ochobot (Mohd Fathi Diaz), his robot friend which is also the ninth generation of Power Sphere, woke him up as it was already late. Yaya (Nur Sarah Alisya) and Ying (Yap Ee Jean) called BoBoiBoy to remind him about the camp once more. Gopal (Dzubir Mohammed Zakaria) also reminded him through the bathroom window. Then, when BoBoiBoy and Ochobot were on their way to the camp, BoBoiBoy realized that a robbery has happened after seeing the chase moment between polices and robbers. Instead of going to the camp, he wanted to go catch the robbers and left Ochobot alone.

As the summary, BoBoiBoy managed to catch the Serial Laundry Robbers (RDB Gang) and helped the police. Then, he went to Tok Aba's Kokotiam with forgetting his camp with his friends. When Tok Aba reminded him of the camp, he just remembered about the camp and immediately went to the bus stop where his friends wait. Meanwhile, Bora Ra (Azman Zulkiply), the leader of Tengkotak group, heard Yoyo Oo (Anas Abdul Aziz) giving explanation that Klamkabot (Usamah Widiatmoko), the first generation of Power Sphere which they tried to catch earlier, teleported to the planet Earth, but he still didn't get the exact location of Klamkabot. Bora Ra is so angry and asking him to search for it or get out from his spaceship. Yoyo Oo nervously searched for it but he found another Power Sphere with lower frequency than Klamkabot. Yoyo Oo lied his leader by saying he found Klamkabot's location.
