Higsby has put together his very own NetBattle tournament, but it looks like it's going to be a disaster. Only Lan and his friends have entered. Even worse, Shuko, who has a reputation as being so unlucky that she ruins everything around her, wants to enter. Shuko's bad luck starts to affect the others, and she actually wins! But when she goes to cook up the rice she won as the tournament's first prize, she learns that Higsby's power is out. She's sure that she caused the problems, and she's very upset. Looking to cheer her up, her NetNavi SpoutMan goes to the power plant to fix the problem. But when SpoutMan starts crying, cyber water gushes everywhere and threatens to destroy not only the power plant, but also the entire CyberWorld!
