Synopsis
After the battle with Devidramon, Takato once again curses himself for not drawing smaller. Takato tries to stuff Growlmon back into the hiding place in the park, hoping he'll degenerate 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, and real help from Henry and --Takato and Growlmon give up and hide him in the tunnel for the night. That night, a bored Impmon attacks Growlmon and drives him from the tunnel and chases him until Growlmon tries to blast him. 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 degenerate. Feeling that he'll never have his friend back, Takato gives up. As the rain ends a rainbow appears and, surprisingly, the rainbow begins to draw Digital Matter out of Growlmon, causing him to finally degenerate back into Guilmon.
