Seeing how desperately he needs a partner to help Dan and the Resistance, Marucho takes his gear and heads out, in search of a Bakugan to battle with. At the same time, Mylene also goes hunting for Bakugan, after throwing away three she claimed useless. In the morning, Marucho meets Aquos Elfin, a Bakugan who turned out to know and have what might be a crush on Preyas. She explains that after his capture, she had to watch over the forest and protect the Bakugan living there from any harm. When Marucho asks to be partners with her, she at first declines because she claims to be "waiting for the right partner".
