Synopsis[]
Yusuke's old teacher becomes worried for an elusive student who skips school to go to Tokyo just as the first Go-Level Gurongi starts his game.
Plot[]
Kazahaya Elementary School in Tochigi Prefecture.
On the day of the closing ceremony of the first semester, Shoji Kanzaki, Yusuke's former teacher, reads a composition written by Hiraku Kirishima, an honor student, and had some impressions on it. At the end of the sentence written on the theme of "future," there were characters that seemed to have been written and erased once. "I really don't know anything. I don't have a place." Approximately one month has passed since the appearance of Unidentified Lifeforms was interrupted, but as class ends for the fifth group of 6th graders Kanzaki is in charge of, he reminds the students to remember the note he passed to them, specifically the first part warning on to watch out for the creatures. He notes that while their district is considered to be safe for the time being, there are still many victims in the Saitama and Ibaraki districts, in which Kanzaki warns his students to not go to Tokyo for summer vacation. After dismissing class, Hiraku comes to Kanzaki from among the disbanded students, being worried on whether the Unidentified Lifeforms are truly gone to which Kanzaki remarks that it would be good if it stayed that way. As Hiraku is about to leave, Kanzaki tries to as him about the composition, but he leaves with a smile. Around the same time, in Tokyo, police fixed-point surveillance cameras captured the appearance of an Unidentified Lifeform flying in the sky, and reports came to the investigation headquarters that mysterious shock deaths were occurring frequently in various places. Unidentified Lifeform 37 (Go·Buuro·Gu) has appeared.
Kanzaki calls Yusuke, who has been waiting at Pole Pole after being notified of the appearance of Go·Buuro·Gu from Ichijo. Knowing that Hiraku had headed to Asakusabashi, Tokyo, where his grandmother's house used to be, he called to see if there were any Unidentified Lifeforms in Tokyo. Yusuke tells Kanzaki that an Unidentified Lifeform has appeared, and decides to search for Hiraku until Ichijo contacts him again. Kanzaki also hurried to Tokyo. Radio enters from Ichijo under Yusuke who drives the TryChaser 2000 in search of Hiraku. The police decided to dispatch a helicopter to respond to Go·Buuro·Gu, but since the movement is too fast to catch up, Ichijou requests Yusuke to use his Pegasus form to combat the Unidenfited Lifeform, given that his super senses of hearing and sight would effectively deal with it. Yusuke heads to the scene immediately to join Ichijo.
Yusuke, having transformed into Dragon form and jumped to the roof of the building, transforms into Pegasus form and receives a gun from Ichijo on a helicopter. In addition, he strengthens his appearance with the Golden Power and searches for the position of Go·Buuro·Gu but gets attacked by him and ends up having his left arm pierced.
