Synopsis[]
SSSP members were alarmed by Pigmon's sudden reappearance at a Ginza toy store. While bringing it to the SSSP headquarters, they decided to contact Professor Gonda to decipher Pigmon's chattering. Gonda managed to finish the translator, but the sleepless Ide was pressured by his work, especially taking the fact that no matter how much effort the SSSP did, it was Ultraman in the end who finished the job with defeating the monsters. Hayata managed to reassure that both the Ultraman and SSSP are codependent on each others; especially with the case of Antlar and Kemular. The sudden revival of Dorako and Telesdon at night only caused Pigmon to intensely panic in Gonda's lab.
Pigmon's chattering was translated in the next day:
"The monster that the SSSP and Ultraman have defeated are being resurrected by Geronimon's power and are planning an assault on the SSSP as revenge. In five hours, over 60 monsters from across the world will gather in Japan. You must defeat Geronimon while you still can. Geronimon is the Monster Chief. It possess psychic powers. Beware."
- ―Pigmon
Despite the frightening news, Geronimon failed to expect Pigmon as one of the revived monsters and the creature instead warned SSSP and lead them to the monsters' meeting spot. They arrived in Mt. Oiwayama as the monsters' rendezvous point and only spotted Re-Dorako and Re-Telesdon as its participants. SSSP were split into two teams while Pigmon was ordered to stay behind. Whereas Fuji, Arashi and Muramatsu managed to take down Telesdon with their unified shots, Hayata was able to injure Dorako's right shoulder with Ide hopefully waiting for Ultraman. Unfortunately as Dorako was about to kill the two SSSP officers, Pigmon stepped in and diverted Dorako's attention from the pair, only to be swatted by the towering monster out of annoyance. This earned a slap from Hayata that caused Ide to snap back into reality and uses the Spark 8 barrel on his Super Gun to kill Re-Dorako.
With all three revived monsters were killed, Geronimon was forced out of its hiding and Hayata transforms into Ultraman to rescue Arashi, Ide and Muramatsu from their fall. Struggling with the telekinetic-controlled feathers, Ultraman lured them to the sky and fired his Spacium Beam. He would later caught Geronimon by surprise to rip off all the feathers on its back and finally lifting it for Ide to open fire with Spark 8. This eventually brighten Ide's mood and finally taught him to rely on his own skill instead of others. The SSSP members pay their final respect to Pigmon's carcass and Muramatsu posthumously honored the creature as their special team member.
