Koji Minamoto ends up helping out here, and Bokomon identifies another wielder of the Spirits: of Light.

After this success, Bokomon believes that these humans are truly what the Digital World needs as the inheritors of the ' Spirits. The humans begin to explore outside of the city, and the pair follow. Bokomon begs and pleads for them to aid his ailing world, but the humans remain ambivalent even when a voice issues from their D-Tectors directing them to the Forest Terminal. Nevertheless, Bokomon continues to follow them. Neemon, on the other hand, show hesitation, but Bokomon drags him forth anyway. By nightfall, the group reaches the Candlemon Village in a valley. Carved into the valley's wall are a relief of and the symbols for the Ten Legendary Warriors. Bokomon relates the World's history, where the tyrant Lucemon once brought peace between the warring human and beast-type Digimon, only to need to be removed himself by the Ten Legendary Warriors.

Finally making it to the Forest Kingdom, the group rests in the TV Forest.

The situation is eventually resolved with Bakumon's purification, and Bakumon grants the group sweet dreams in thanks.

Bokomon eventually confronts Koichi with the knowledge, but Koichi swears him to secrecy.

They are disheartened by their failure but end up regaining faith when they discover the baby Digimon their saved from the there.

They manage to fully defeat the Royal Knights this time, only for Lucemon to sweep in and steal their Fractal Code to digivolve into his. Lucemon makes an attempt on the Human World, and Bokomon discovers that if Lucemon were to succeed, then the worlds would be destroyed Koichi sacrifices himself to give the others the power to ancient spirit evolve into, which defeats Lucemon in his Chaos Mode but allows him to take his  and continue his attempt on the Human World.

Though the DigiDestined initially lose against Lucemon's overwhelming power, Bokomon and Neemon watch as the humans discover that, alongside them in the entire journey, they have been aided by the former Legendary Warriors. All of their conviction combines into Susanoomon once more, and they defeat Lucemon, saving the Digital World once and for all. The last route to the Human World is closing, so the humans are sent through. Realizing that this means that they would not see them again, Neemon is forced to try and hold Bokomon back from following. Bokomon then vows to write the legend of the humans and friends who saved their world, as Neemon watches on.

At some point during their journey, Bokomon and Neemon visit the Lost Island. They end up with Takuya, J.P., and Tommy in the human-controlled village, befriending.

While Takuya and Koji do their best to mitigate the damage from the war, Bokomon and Neemon work with the remaining DigiDestined and humans on finishing the mural. When they do succeed, Bokomon translates it and reveals that is not a guardian but rather an evil being sealed in the island. Unfortunately, the war has generated enough sacrifices to revive Ornismon, and the figure manipulating the entire situation,, rides proudly on its back.
