The story begins a year before the first season of Digimon Adventure aired, focusing on Taiichi Yagami, who finds himself in the Digital World after being disqualified from the D1 Grand Prix Digimon Tamer convention due to his Digimon, Zero, not being programmed into the game. He is summoned to Holy Angel Castle and meets a real-life version of Zero. Together, they embark on a journey to find a way home and uncover the mysteries of this new world.
Taiichi and Zero encounter an injured Gabumon, who explains that he was attacked while bringing food to Holy Angel Castle. Gabumon is curious about Zero, a Digimon he has never seen before. Taiichi helps Gabumon, and in return, Gabumon agrees to guide them to the castle. They are then confronted by Tortomon, who attacked Gabumon. Despite Gabumon's doubts, Taiichi confidently challenges and defeats Tortomon by exploiting a weak spot in his shell, using Zero's special attack, V-Breath Arrow.
Arriving at Holy Angel Castle, Taiichi and Zero meet Agumon being trained by Leomon, who initially doubts their partnership. After Zero defeats Akuwagamon, Leomon is convinced of their strength and Holy Angemon appears, revealing the reason Taiichi was summoned: to defeat Demon, a mutant monster who is raising a super ultimate egg. Holy Angemon tasks Taiichi with stopping Demon, and Taiichi accepts the challenge.
Gabumon explains the story of the Digimon God and the five retainer tags—Earth, Sea, Spirit, Sky, and Iron—needed to enter Demon's Castle. Etemon, a henchman of Demon, appears and announces that each tag is guarded by a perfect level Digimon. The first tag is located in the Valley of the Dragon.
In the Valley of the Dragon, Taiichi and Zero face Dark Tyrannomon and Deltamon, defeating them before encountering Triceramon, who they weaken with poisonous herbs and Zero's V-Breath Arrow. They obtain the Earth tag and proceed to the Net Ocean, where they meet Gomamon. Gomamon tells them about a monster attacking his village. Zero overcomes his inability to swim to save Gomamon from Gasomon.
Gomamon leads Taiichi and Zero to Vamdemon, who lives at the bottom of the ocean. Vamdemon explains the nature of Digimon as programs and gives Taiichi a Digivice to communicate underwater. Vamdemon then dies, entrusting the ocean's protection to Gomamon, who evolves into Ikkakumon. Taiichi and Zero defeat Gesomon and Octomon before facing Marine Devimon, the guardian of the Sea tag, defeating him by pulling him to the surface. They obtain the Tag of Sea and bid farewell to Ikkakumon.
The trio arrives at a graveyard where they meet Patamon, who explains that a cursed monster has been terrorizing the area. They quickly obtain the Spirit tag but are attacked by Kandemon, who is easily defeated. Patamon is revealed to be Bakkimon in disguise, working for Vandemon, who attempts to control Zero with a nightmare wave. Gabumon defeats Bakkimon, and Taiichi uses a virus antidote created from Vacimon's data to free Zero from Vandemon's control. Taiichi and Zero defeat Vandemon, and the castle turns out to be an illusion.
The heroes visit Star City, where a jealous Starmon challenges them to a series of battles, including singing and arm wrestling, which they win. Meanwhile, at Demon's Castle, Demon eliminates Etemon for his failures and introduces a human boy, Neo, who will be the Tamer of the super ultimate Digimon. At a metal factory, Taiichi and Zero encounter Neo, who attacks them with Metal Greymon, a Digimon Neo discarded and remodeled.
Metal Greymon reveals he was remodeled to please Neo, but Neo discards him after he takes too much damage. Zero, enraged, fights Devimon and Ogremon, who jogress evolve into Skull Satamon. Neo reveals his past rivalry with Taiichi and, after Zero defeats Skull Satamon, Neo hands over the Iron tag. The heroes arrive at a hospital where Zero is treated for his wounds, and they are attacked by Cyclomon and Taskmon, but Zero recovers and saves the day.
The heroes reach a gigantic tree, the location of the final tag, and encounter Apemon, who tells them about an attack by a human and two monsters. Neo awaits them at the top of the tree and attacks with Megadramon, a jogress evolution. Taiichi discovers a weakness in the infinite dragress strategy, and Zero attacks Megadramon. Neo then fuses Megadramon and Raimon into Deathmon, an ultimate level Digimon who opens a warp gate to the human world. As Deathmon is about to deliver the final blow, Taiichi sacrifices himself, causing Zero to evolve into Aero V-dramon, who defeats Deathmon. Neo seemingly falls to his death, and Taiichi obtains the Sky tag.
