A hologram of a mysterious man appears to the children after Devimon is defeated.
He
calls himself Gennai, and he's a wise, old man who tells the
kids that they need to find special devices called tags and crests that will help them raise
their digimon better. He tells them to come to the continent of Server, where even more
powerful digimon live. He transmits a map to Izzy's laptop before his transmission starts
breaking up.
The kids get ready to leave, but they don't have any way across the ocean.
While they're
trying to think of a solution, Leomon arrives. He announces that some friends of the
Digidestineds want to see them safely on their way. With him are all the digimon the kids
freed from Black Gears on File Island. With their help, a sturdy raft is constructed in no
time. The kids set out once more. Just before they
leave T.K.'s Digi-egg starts to hatch
and Poymon pops out.
After floating for a while, the kids are attacked by Whamon, a gigantic whale
digimon. He's hopping mad, and he swallows the kids whole.
Deep in Whamon's belly, the
children realize they need to get out fast. They spot a black gear buried in his side and
try to destroy it. Tai climbs up to the gear on Palmon's vines and shakes it loose.
Whamon blow the kids out, but he destroys their raft in the process. He's sorry for what
he did and offers to take the kids to Server. They all hop aboard.
When he hears that
they're looking for the tags and crests, Whamon remembers a place where Devimon hid
something in the depths of the ocean. The kids ride inside as Whamon dives to the
bottom.
They arrive at an underwater Digi-Mart, and the kids disembark. When they try to get
inside, they're confronted by Drimogemon, a mole digimon with a sharp tusk.
He's
controlled by a Black Gear, and he won't let them pass. Ikkakumon and Kabuterimon
stall him, and everyone runs inside. Poyomon finds the box containing the children's tags.
After their little side-quest, everyone continues on for Server, a three day journey.
The
kids now have half the tools Gennai told them about. Will they find the crests soon?
