How did Ben use Feedback in Store 23?
I've just finished watching Showdown: Part 1 and it was revealed in that episode that Feedback was destroyed by Malware and Ben can no longer turn into Feedback, but I've seen 16-year-old Ben turn into Feedback in Store 23.
Did the events of Store 23 take place after Showdown: Part 1?
Could anyone explain me what's going on?
Note: I haven't watched Showdown: Part 2 yet.
Ben as 16-year-old Feedback in Store 23.
Best Answer
According to the Ben 10 Wiki, 16-year-old Ben regains access to Feedback during the events of Showdown: Part 2:
Suddenly, Ben, in the form of Feedback, emerges from Malware's head. Malware is shocked, but says that he will destroy Feedback again.
It's unclear to both me and the Wiki how 16-year-old Ben was able to do this:
[Feedback] is one of the four regular aliens to be temporarily destroyed and removed from the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix [...] While Ben has been able to regain the other aliens, it remains unclear as to how he was able to regain Feedback.
~Ben 10 Wiki's page on Feedback (emphasis mine)
What is clear is that, following the events of the Showdown two-parter, 11-year-old Ben can no longer use Feedback, but 16-year-old Ben can. While Store 23 aired before the Showdown two-parter in the US, its events actually takes place afterwards, explaining how 16-year-old Ben is about to use Feedback.
I realise this may not be the most satisfying answer, but it honestly appears that there is no canon explanation for how Ben was able to regain use of Feedback.

Albedo reappeared in the present day in The Ultimate Heist. In it, he had been impersonating Ben for several days, after he and Khyber secretly switched his and Ben's places. Albedo was unable to use his alien transformations, due to the fact that the red eyes would give him away to Ben's allies.Ben 10: All Ben 23 Transformations

Answer 2
I think Store 23 is after this event; one instance is Ben's motorcycle, which isn't even made until later in season 3
