Addendum: teleportation magic is something they have in MGLN-verse. It's just not commonly used in close-combat because it takes a moment - even if a short one - to run the calculations.
The data they collect, however, can go towards building a short-range teleport spell that can be cast in a split-second.
Additionally, we also decided that one of Ben's upgrades would be a fast, short-range teleport thanks to his Masser Assimilation.
We can have it that it's something that's not quite ready to go yet. The Assimilation wouldn't have been a perfect one - Ben's physical makeup is more like he's had the Masser's cells incorporated among his own. This would give him the basic self-defense ability of the Masser's. In order to be able to use the teleport ability, though, Ben needs to be more like Ryoko - a true synthesis of the two beings. (Of course, Ben won't be anywhere nearly as powerful - after all, Ryoko is literally Washu's daughter, so she had her mother's potential as a starting point.)
It would take a few treatments in Washu's lab. They could do it all at once, but it's felt that it should be done in stages so Ben doesn't go around ripping doors out of their frames by mistake.
