Splitting Up
When Jimmy & Pipotchi were in Casino City, they ran into the Professor. After Jimmy explained what the situation was about, Jimmy left Pipotchi in the care of Natalie and the Professor in order to continue his adventure without endangering him.
Escape
When Jimmy enters The Blue Baboon, Natalie informs Jimmy that Pipotchi escaped while she wasn't looking. Believing that Pipotchi left to find him, Jimmy searches for Pipotchi while catching Monkeys.
Reunited
Jimmy was able to find Pipotchi safely in Enter The Monkey.
Captured
Shortly after they reunite, Pipotchi was captured by White Monkey and Red Monkey. After Jimmy beat White Monkey, Red Monkey escapes with Pipotchi. White Monkey reveals that the reason they took Pipotchi in the first place was to copy his date into the Lethargy Laser. Later on, Jimmy finds Red Monkey and reveals that they already got the data for Pipotchi for the Lethargy Laser. Jimmy beats Red Monkey in a fight, which frees Pipotchi.
Hunt for Specter
Jimmy and Pipotchi heads to Code C.H.I.M.P. to capture Specter. However, a giant Yellow Monkey intervenes, causing Specter to flee to the Moon Base. Jimmy and Pipotchi follows him, and after a fight with Ultra Goliath, Jimmy finally captures Specter.
Specter's Final Plan
It was revealed that Specter faked his capture, and was devised a final plan with the monkeys that Jimmy didn't originally catch. After Jimmy catches the remaining monkeys, they head to Specter's Secret Hideout, catch him, and then returned back to Earth, and crash lands into the Lab.
