Synopsis
Joe and Gomamon end up stranded at sea on the bed from Devimon's mansion, and come under attack by Ogremon, who's hiding in a nearby floating box. Gomamon digivolves into Ikakkumon and carries Joe away, leaving Ogremon (Because he can't swim) behind, but soon runs out of energy, causing the two to sink into the water. Meanwhile, Sora is fishing on an island nearby, when she manages to catch Joe, who is unconscious. When he awakens, he's made leader as Gomamon believes he needs a boost of confidence after fighting Ogremon. The group make their way up a nearby hill to a church where people are worshipping a ghost Digimon called Lord Bakemon. However, it turns out to be a trap set by Bakemon pretending to be people. The kids are tied up as an offering to Lord Bakemon, and the Digimon are thrown in prison. Just before the kids are eaten, the Digimon manage to find some food and digivolve to save them. However, Lord Bakemon is only defeated when Joe has the idea of psyching him out with a continuous chant. With him beaten, the island stops moving, and Joe and Sora travel to Infinite Mountain on their Digimon.
