Kiyo, Zatch, Sunbeam, and Ponygon are resting after defeating Dalmos. Laila returns with a moonstone which recovers everyone's strength. They then ride back on Ponygon to town. In town, Megumi, Tia, Folgore and Kanchome are staying with Apollo. They are then attacked by Byonko and thousand-year Mamodos. Unable to use spells, they all flee, and Tia is cornered by the Mamodos. She manages to go through a narrow alleyway and meets Wonrei, Li-en, Dr. Riddles, and Kido at the end. Wonrei and Li-en deal with the Mamodos, but Tia is caught in the claws of a bird-like Mamodo. As the Mamodo flies away, Kiyo, Zatch, Sunbeam and Ponygon appear. Ponygon jumps towards Tia, and Zatch reaches out for her with his hand.
