Speaking of Gnaw, here's the next part:

After recovering a bit Asujo returned to Dino World and the Precure felt like they were on top of the world. Itsushiro warned the girls not to underestimate their opponents when suddenly they picked up a Dino Spirit reaction from the Amazon.

Arriving, they were suddenly ambushed by a Mosasaurus named Mosa. It turns out that the Dino Spirit was an old rival of Gnaw’s who once competed for the title of Guardian. He laughed at Gnaw, calling him weak for allying himself with humans.

Kota and Yumi tried to reason with him but Mosa refused to help, saying he doesn’t care about their mess and is perfectly content to remain right where he is.

Meanwhile, a new Bifrost general named Sabre entered the rainforest. Seeing Mosa she dropped a strange orb into the water. Elsewhere, the Precure regrouped to figure out their next strategy when suddenly they heard a roar as Mosa attacked, now transformed into a Saurrow.

Sabre arrived and introduced herself to the group, saying that she was sent to test a new strategy Gossa came up with: corrupting the Dino Spirits directly. The girls were horrified at this but Sabre said she felt no sympathy, stating that those from Dinosaur World were all scum that shouldn’t be trusted. Drawing her sword, she challenged the Precure and the group suddenly found themselves dealing with two tough foes at once.

Seeing his friends in trouble, Gnaw decided to help out by appealing to Mosa’s ego. He said his rival must be pretty weak now too to let himself be used like this. This seemed to make the Dino Spirit pause, Gnaw kept distracting him long enough for Kota and Yumi to purify him with Fossil Dream.

Sabre conceded defeat and complimented the Precure on their skills before taking off, promising to face them once again. Mosa finally relented and transformed into a Kyoryupon, he flew into  Gnaw’s hand and told the little t-rex he’d better not make him regret this.

Later, the Elder Spirit of the Water was located. Problem was, he was at the bottom of the sea. Yumi and Gnaw were able to modify the Dino Rocket for underwater travel but Itsushiro insisted on coming with them, saying this could be the scientific discovery of the century.

Following the Spirit’s trail the group stumbled upon the lost city of Atlantis. The Kodais were both beside themselves with excitement and Yumi was kind of curious herself. Upon arrival, they found the city to be filled with dinosaur-like fish creatures. It appears that eons ago after the meteor strike some of Earth’s dinosaurs fled into the sea.

They evolved over the centuries and created their own city with the help of the Elder Spirit Umihire, who now served as their king. The Precure convinced the citizens to take them to him but only found  a single egg waiting for them. It seems the king had sealed himself off into a deep slumber and would not awaken.

Suddenly a crash was heard and the group found that Sabre had followed them into the city. The Bifrost told them that if they handed over the Spirit quietly then she would spare the city. The group refused, promising to protect both.

Sabre appeared to hesitate for a moment but shook it off and transformed a nearby statue into a Saurrow. Gnaw grabbed Umihire’s egg and made a run for it as Kota and Yumi transformed and held off the Bifrost. After the Saurrow was defeated Sabre left without a word and the group returned to the surface after promising the people of Atlantis that they would find a way to reawaken their king.

Much later, Umihire finally awoke after his egg was exposed to the light of Kanna’s Ryusei Shifter. However the Plesiosaurus Spirit refused to help them, calling humans worthless creatures that were always causing trouble. He stated he sealed himself away in the first place so he wouldn’t have to deal with this mess anymore. Mitsuki called him selfish for abandoning his own people like that but Umihire retorted that the former Bifrost wasn’t so pure herself and shouldn’t be lecturing him.

Suddenly Itsushiro picked up a reading and discovered that Kumantis had suddenly launched an attack on the city. Being from Dino World themselves, Gnaw and Kanna decided to stay behind to try and reason with the Sea King while the other three went off to deal with the current situation.

Eventually, Kanna’s kindhearted nature wound up getting through to him and Umihire joined the battle, washing the cave bear away with a powerful attack called Tidal Stream. Afterwards, he went back to Dino World in order to recover, promising to return when he could to lead his people once again.

As their relationship grew, Gnaw found himself developing strange feelings for Kota but chose to bury them down for the sake of his mission. However, noticing he seemed to be a bit on edge lately Kota decided to drag Gnaw out in human form for a night on the town. Despite his better judgement, Gnaw wound up having fun.

However, they happened to be spotted by a classmate of Kota’s named Ami Uwasa, who also happened to be one of the biggest gossips at school. The next day, the entire school was suddenly buzzing about Kota having a boyfriend. Kota kind of tried to brush it off but both were visibly embarrassed by all this.

Managing to escape the crowd thanks to a distraction by her friends, the two suddenly heard a cry for help and discovered a young Dilophosaurus Spirit named Ui as well as a Acrocanthosaurus called Zel trapped in a storm drain. As they went to help them however they were suddenly attacked by Kumantis.

Gnaw told Kota to keep helping the Spirits while he distracted the general. Kota was worried for her friend’s safety but she trusted him so she agreed. Finally managing to pull them out, she dashed off to catch up with Gnaw who was now staring down both Kumantis and a new Saurrow.

Kota stepped in between them, shielding Gnaw with her body just like she did back when they first met. As she was struck hard, Gnaw suddenly called out to her. Just then, Ui arrived and, recognizing the girl’s bravery, turned into a Kyoryupon that landed in Kota’s hand.

Energized by the medal, Kota got to her feet and promised the little dinosaur that she would always be there to protect her friends. With her new Dilopho Soul, she was able to wash away Kumantis and defeat the Saurrow.

The next day, the rumors had died down after Mitsuki confronted the guilty parties and told them in no uncertain terms what she’d do to them if they didn’t stop harassing her friends. Gnaw, however, was uncharacteristically upset about the events of the previous day, even apologizing to Kota for not being strong enough.

Kota simply smiled and said he had nothing to apologize for. She explained that Gnaw had become one of her closest friends and that’s not going to change even if they eventually have to go back to their own worlds when this is all over. Before going to class she suddenly kissed him on the cheek, promising that she’d always have his back no matter what.
