Air date: January 25, 2006

A new IGPX season is about to start. The previous season's experience has matured Takeshi greatly, and he even seems secure and sure. On the other hand, Liz feels the pressure of being called a member of "the mightier Team Satomi." The two are approached by Zanak and Judy from Team White Snow, the new team just promoted from the IG-2. But Team Satomi's opponent for the first match is Team Edgeraid, and seems to have a new strategy to compete with the champions. And will Liz do, given that she was scared of the race due to the pressure?
