Synopsis
After the battle with Devidramon, Takato once again curses himself for not drawing Growlmon smaller. Takato tries to stuff Growlmon back into the hiding place in the park, hoping he'll de-digivolve somehow through the night, but Growlmon doesn't fit. They then try running around and sitting in a freezing pool to try and lower their energy; first Growlmon on his own, then Takato with him. (Other failed attempts include jumping rope and wishing.)

Eventually--after "help" from Jeri and Calumon, and real help from Henry and Terriermon--Takato and Growlmon give up and hide him in the tunnel for the night. The next day, however, Terriermon is sent out to find Growlmon after Takato inspected the empty tunnel to no avail. Growlmon is found sleeping with children playing on him, and then hiding in the bushes. Following Growlmon's idea of hiding in the woods, the others paint him to camouflage him amongst the trees and flora. Rika comes along in her usual pessimistic mood and shatters Takato's hopes of the disguise working.

As it begins to rain, and the paint on Growlmon runs, Takato is in tears at the thought of Growlmon never being able to de-digivolve. Feeling that he'll never have his friend back, Takato gives up as the rain ends and Guilmon returns as they watch the rainbow.
