Plot

While waiting at the beach with Chibi Mothra, Chibi Rodan, and Chibi Anguirus, Chibi Mechagodzilla angrily exclaims that Chibi Godzilla is late. Chibi Rodan responds that it is rare for Chibi Godzilla to be on time. Chibi Godzilla arrives as Chibi Mechagodzilla begins talking about how the kaiju wants to show them something. As Chibi Mechagodzilla scolds Chibi Godzilla for being late, he responds that he told them yesterday that he was going to be late, surprising Chibi Mechagodzilla. Chibi Godzilla states that he said this before he went to bed, angering Chibi Mechagodzilla as none of the others were there with him and that Chibi Godzilla was simply talking to himself. Chibi Godzilla is surprised that others can't hear him if he talks to himself, with Chibi Mothra wishing there was an easier way to communicate. Chibi Mechagodzilla reveals the smartphone he recently invented, and describes its communication abilities. As Chibi Mechagodzilla hands out smartphones to everyone, Chibi Mothra compliments him and Chibi Rodan makes fun of Chibi Godzilla's destructive urges. Chibi Godzilla is offended by this, though he reveals that he has somehow already broken his phone, shocking Chibi Mechagodzilla. Now that they can all meet up on time, Chibi Rodan prepares to leave, despite their plan to meet up on that day. Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mothra, Chibi Mothra and Chibi Anguirus exclaim, "Plan Smartphone!!," with Chibi Mechagodzilla pointing out that Chibi Godzilla's phone is broken.

Chibi Mechagodzilla arrives on the beach but is angered that no one else has arrived. He decides to check the group chat he made: Chibi Rodan, Chibi Mothra and Chibi Anguirus say that they are running late, and Chibi Rodan worries that Chibi Mechagodzilla might be mad. Chibi Godzilla comments that could pretend they don't have plans, confusing Chibi Mechagodzilla as his phone is meant to be broken. The mecha comments on the group chat that he can see what they are saying. Next, he asks why everyone is late: Chibi Mothra is tired as she was up late on the phone and sends a picture to say sorry, confusing Chibi Mechagodzilla as to how she has enough time to send a picture. Chibi Anguirus comments next and is shown to behave differently online, frequently using laughing acronyms and making fun of Chibi Mechagodzilla. Chibi Rodan then complains that his facial recognition isn't working, confusing Chibi Mechagodzilla as he is sure he set it up correctly, until Chibi Rodan adds that it's because he became even more beautiful overnight. After the other four members of the chat leave him on read, he send them a picture of the ground, causing Chibi Mechagodzilla to realize that he has driven himself into the ground. Chibi Mechagodzilla then remembers that Chibi Godzilla wanting to show them something and asks him what - Chibi Godzilla responds with an image of a smartphone that he found in the beach, leaving Chibi Mechagodzilla enraged that he already had one.
