After Whamon and the Digidestined escaped, MetalSeadramon and his henchmen, the Divermon, set out to find them. Izzy discovers that War Greymon has the ability to destroy Dramon type of Digimon, like MetalSeadramon. The Divermon find and attack Whamon, who takes them on a deep pressure chase towards the bottom of the sea. The Divermon can't follow that deeply so the kids escape, temporarily. Using a makeshift SONAR device, Izzy finds a tunnel that leads to safety. However, Metal Seadramon intercepts them before they have a chance to escape. Whamon burrows his way through the tunnel and winds up safely in a bay, near land. But, Metal Seadramon has followed them through and attacks.

Production notes
This TV series originally ran for 54 episodes.
"Digimon" refers to "digi[tal] mon[sters]."
Three 25-minute mini-features were released theatrically in 2000 as holiday specials in Japan. These were combined for release in the United States as the "Digimon Movie." The Screen Actors Guild in the U.S. launched a legal challenge to production company Saban over residual rights for the movie, arguing that voice acting was a skill that deserved better working conditions.
Afterward, a second season was named "Digimon 02" and ran for 50 20-minute episodes. Set three years later, it introduced the character Buimon.
"Digimon Tamers," a third series, started in April 2001. It was set in the "near-future" year of 200X.
