Earth is being invaded by… a sports loving alien?
That’s right! Meet Oomi, a little alien who’s come to Earth to learn all he can about Earth’s many, many sports. Oomi befriends a rising soccer star, Arya and together, the two of them embark on a fun-filled adventure to introduce Oomi to as many sports as they can before Oomi returns home. Along the way, they’ll be hounded by government agents, nosy teenagers, and bumbling henchmen, all trying to find what or WHO Arya is hiding.
Join Oomi and Arya for thrills, fun, and a whole lot of sports action!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, well, here we are, Umi, your last sport, pickleball.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah yeah, whatever, yay, I guess.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Oh come on, Umi, you can't still be mad that
there aren't any actual pickles involved.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Okay, I don't get why, why you earth things would
day of a sport after's something so tasty and then
not even have that food be part of the sport.
It's it's meat. It's meat, is what it is.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Look, if I go get you a pickle to eat
before you play, will you chill out?
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Oh yeah, no, totally do. I guess pickle would help
me chill. The bigger the pickle, the more I would chill.
I promise.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Fine, I'll be right back. Just make sure you don't
bump into anyone. We're not used to invisible things on
this planet.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Viv.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Maybe you can see if you can help Umi find
someone to change into. This is an open term, so
it can be some random person on the other side
of the park if you want.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
That's probably for the best. You don't want some poor
guy coming over to watch pickleball. I'm thinking he's found
his long lost twin brother.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Exactly. I'll go get a pickle you too. Find someone
for Umi to change into and we'll meet back here
in ten minutes. All right, let's do this. Umi.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You ready to where's my pickle?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It's right here, But first we need to.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Pickle pickle, pickle. Gimme, gimme, gimme pickle, pickle, pickle, numb.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
All right, fine here, viv do you think you could
go get Umi registered as a player already done?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
His game starts in three minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Three minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Hurry, Umi, jew.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Faster, come on ju ju ju no, no, I want
to enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Fine, keep it, but come on, we need to get
you on the court.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Next up, we have a mister Tanaka versus a mister Umi.
There he is the gentleman with the pickle in his mouth.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Are you ready to play totally?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Let's go very well, mister Tanaka, you may flip this
coin to see who will serve first. Mister Umi, the
coin landed on tails.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Would you prefer to serve first? Eh?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I want to be served. Serve me more pickles, please.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Mister Tanaka will serve first. Then when you're ready, mister Tanaka,
okay Umi.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
He's about to hit the ball to you.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Let it bounce once, then hit it back to him.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
And what a shot from mister Umi. A strong start.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Great job, Umi.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Now it's your serf. You need to hit the ball
underhand into the square where mister Tanaka is standing.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Ah wow, what a serf.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Something tells me, miss or Umi has played a lot
of pickleball.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Are Yeah, I think we may have found Umi's sports.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
He's a NATURALI pickleball.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
And that's it.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Mister Umi defeats mister Tanaka eleven to one. Well played, gentleman, Umi.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That was awesome, really good at pickleball.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh yeah, imagine how good I'd be if there were
pickles all around. Ah, you know, it's still it's pretty fun.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think you've got a good chance to win the
whole tournament. I haven't seen anyone playing as good as
you so far.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Mom, Aria, where are you? Where's Umi?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
We're at the park. There's a pickleball tournament.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
And listen to me very carefully. You need to leave
right now. Get over to the soccer fields, get Umi
on his ship and get him off our planet.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Mom, what's going on? Umi's doing really well. He might
be to win the whole tournament. Can't we stay and
let him finish?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
No, you need to leave now. We just got word
that mister Smythe is on the move. We think he
knows where Umi is. I'm on my way to you
with a few other EPF agents, but Smythe, Blaine and
Tiny are going to get there first. You've got to leave.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Oh no, oh, hey, mom, we're leaving. Did you two
catch all that?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yep?
Speaker 8 (04:23):
Oh me.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Sounds like it's time for you to go.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Uh back of the soccer field where it all started.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I know, I can't believe that was almost two weeks ago.
Seems like just a day or two. Now, where's your ship?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
See those tall trees over there? I parked it right
behind them. It's invisible, of course.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Good. Hopefully no one's found it.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
That would be a big mess.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Indeed, that would be a big mess.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Don't worry.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
This ship is still there, but it's a shame you
won't be able to use it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Are you?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
You're you can call me mister Smith. Let's see. You
must be Aria, and you must be Viv and you
you must be Umi. My two associates here, tell me
those are your names? Is that right?
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Actually, I think I just got off of the wrong
bus stop. I'm just gonna go back over.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Ah, Hold that right there, Miss dlien Man. We know
it's you, so don't try to trick us. We can
do this the easy way or a hard way.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh no, I definitely like things to be easy instead
of heart, so let's do the I choose the easy way.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Me, you don't want the easy way.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
They're trying to teach you with them.
Speaker 9 (05:57):
Ignore the girl, mister Umi. Trust me when I say
you want to take the easy way. All you need
to do is get in the car and come with us.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Are Yah, where's your mom?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
She said she was coming.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
We can't wait around for them to save us, though
we have to outsmart these guys.
Speaker 9 (06:16):
I'm tired of waiting. We know the EPF is on
their way here. Miss Umi, get in the car.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
Now, or we will make you listen.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Everyone on the count of three, go invisible. You run
as fast as you can to your ship, start it up,
and get out of here.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Vivid.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I will stay here and try to confuse.
Speaker 4 (06:36):

their car, something anything.

I gotta pay for that up, you oof, stay here
and tie these curls up. I'm going to the ship.
We cannot allow him to leave tiny. Oh where is he?
Speaker 8 (08:15):
I think he's in the ship, Boss, but I can't
see neither one of them.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Yeah, it's right there. I can see it with these goggles.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Now get over, woolf ha ha, got your goggle.

We got Blaine's goggles too. He's still over there by
the car, trying to find us. Launching in thirty twenty nine,
twenty eight.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
He's going to get away, Tiny, do something.

Miss thy don't go You're useless.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Listen up, girls, If Oomie leaves, I'm taking both of you.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
So you'd better convince him to say if you ever
want to.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Go home again, you'd have to catch us first.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
Don't make the mistake of thinking you can hide from
