Sea-Sick and Tired

It seems the group has finally reached its limit after the Dark Masters' overwhelming ambush, and they are soon tempted into a trap set by one of MetalSeadramon's flunkies.

Synopsis
The group is forced to watch as the Dark Masters' arena explodes with Piximon inside. They then find themselves on a familiar beach they visited at the beginning of their adventure. When they hear someone yelling for help in the water, the kids take a rowing boat to where the splashing's coming from, and it turns out to be Shellmon. The Digimon manage to beat Shellmon in their rookie forms, showing the team that they've become a lot stronger. Now completely worn out, the group head for a snack bar nearby, which turns out to be a trap set by Scorpiomon, one of MetalSeadramon's henchmen. Luckily, Joe, Mimi and their Digimon avoid the trap, but are soon found by Scorpiomon, who can't catch them after eating a load of clams. He's finally defeated when the Digimon find some food, allowing them to digivolve to their ultimate forms. They then free the others, before MetalSeadramon fries them in the snack bar. He then follows everyone out into the ocean, where he prepares finish the now powerless group.
