![]() ![]() Jimmy, the Professor and Natalie then discover the purpose of the Lethargy Laser. ![]() Specter flees, and Jimmy manages to downsize and capture Yellow. Before the two can battle, Yellow Monkey, now a giant monster thanks to an overdose of Vita-Z bananas attacks the facility. Rescuing Pipotchi, Jimmy makes his way through a monkey controlled military base, and confronts Specter, who is waiting for him with a redesigned version of his battle cruiser from the first game. Before his fight with White Monkey, Pipotchi is kidnapped, in order to transfer the data in his Monkey Helmet (a re-engineered model, which is the reason he is friendly towards humans) into a device called the Lethargy Laser. Jimmy manages to capture all of the Freaky Monkey Five, except Yellow Monkey, who flees after he is defeated in battle. However, Specter has supplied five monkeys, the Freaky Monkey Five, with Vita-Z bananas, making them stronger and more intelligent than the average monkeys. Under Natalie's orders, Jimmy, accompanied by a friendly baby Pipo Monkey named Pipotchi, sets out to capture all the monkeys and stop Specter. Specter gets a hold of one, and yet again makes an army of monkeys bent on ruling the world. Jimmy accidentally sends not only the monkey pants, but some Monkey Helmets as well, wrecking the laboratory in the process. The Professor has left them with one task: deliver a load of monkey pants to the monkeys in Monkey Park. It is a few years later, and the Professor left for a vacation leaving his granddaughter, Natalie (Natsumi in the Japanese and European versions), and Spike's cousin, Jimmy (Hikaru in the Japanese and European versions), to watch over the laboratory.
