The premise: Taichi Yagami and his allies have moved on to junior high, but by that time, they have lost contact with their Digimon partners. Taichi is therefore surprised to without warning receive a distress call summoning him to the Digital World.

Further in, once there, he learns that Digimon are living in fear of the unexplained Digimon Emperor, who is somehow suppressing their ability to Digivolve! In the real world, Hikari Yagami and Takeru Takaishi reunite in the same fifth grade class. They share three schoolmates: Daisuke Motomiya, who reminds them both of Taichi; Miyako Inoue, a technical wizard; and Iori Hida, Miyako's neighbor.
