After Ogremon beats up some of its friends, one of the Betamon summons up the courage to fight, suddenly digivolves to, and defeats Ogremon. Ogremon, realising it can't have the flowers decides that if it can't have them, no one can – and destroys them and then leaves, swearing it would one day get revenge on Dinohyumon. The other Betamon celebrate Dinohyumon's digivolution, happy that as it was so powerful it could protect the village from Ogremon if it ever showed up again. Dinohyumon however, was a coward, and didn't want to do this so left the village stating it would get new flowers to replace the old ones though this was just an excuse to leave. Ogremon one day returns and attacks the village and was now even more powerful, having absorbed many flowers all over the Digital World. Dinohyumon returns just in time before any of them are killed though Ogremon uses its new power to warp digivolve to and defeat Dinohyumon.
