In episode 3 of Digimon Adventure 02, titled "Digimental Up," the group of DigiDestined continue their search for the Digimon Emperor, who has begun capturing and enslaving Digimon through the use of Dark Rings. Davis, Yolei, and Cody, the new members of the team, remain inexperienced and uncertain of their abilities, but they are determined to help restore peace to the Digital World.
As they explore a new area of the Digital World, they come across a misty forest infested with Dark Rings.

However, the group manages to fend them off and continue on their journey, encountering new Digimon including the stubborn and fierce Flamedramon. With their new allies, they confront an obstacle that tests their teamwork and strength.
Ultimately, the DigiDestined show their growth and resilience, learning to trust each other and work together to overcome their obstacles and obtain the first Digimental. The episode ends with exciting new possibilities for their Digimon partners as they continue their journey to stop the evil Digimon Emperor and save the Digital World.
