The Beginning of a Partnership [0:00]
Ritsukado, a young gamer, is suddenly transported to the Digital World, a cyberspace from a game he plays. There, he encounters Palsmon, a Digimon he's been training in the game, who desires him to become his Tamer in reality. Palsmon's village is afflicted by a curse that hinders the Digimon residing there from evolving beyond the child stage. Palsmon aspires to evolve to safeguard his village and requires the bond of partnership with Ritsu to aid in his training and break the curse. This sets the stage for "Digimon Dreamers," a new story in the Digimon Universe.

Ritsu, an elementary school kid, finds himself in another world after passing through a mysterious gate on his way to school. He recognizes Palsmon, Patamon, and Pokmon as Digimon. Palsmon confirms he is Ritsu's Digimon partner from the game and is eager to start training to become the strongest Digimon. Ritsu admits he considered deleting Palsmon due to his lack of evolution. Palsmon suggests rigorous training methods, which shock Ritsu. After Patamon remarks that Ritsu sees Digimon as mere game characters, Ritsu questions Palsmon's motives for wanting to become stronger. Palsmon reveals his dream to evolve to the ultimate stage and protect his village.
Cypress Village and Initial Training [3:46]
Ritsu is taken to Cypress Village, home to many baby-level Digimon, who are amazed to see a human Tamer. Ritsu learns that the village Digimon cannot evolve past the child stage.

Later, Ritsu is summoned to the Digital World while at a coffee shop, where Palsmon insists on immediate training at a volcano.

Later, during a training session, Ogreman attacks Cypress Village, eating all the Cypress meat. Palsmon tries to stop him but is overpowered. Koymon explains that a curse prevents the village Digimon from evolving. Ogreman proposes a fight with Ritsu, who backs down, fearing real death.
Partial Evolution and Shrine Visit [7:28]
Inspired by Ritsu's encouragement, Palsmon begins to evolve into Bulkmon, seemingly breaking the curse, but the evolution is incomplete, with only his head transforming.

Later, Ritsu is summoned during a Fortnite game, and they plan to visit a shrine to find a hint about the curse. At the shrine, they encounter Sandiramon, who is angered by their intrusion. After a brief fight, Sandiramon reveals he knows nothing about their curse and suggests they seek answers elsewhere.
