When the team joins June's and Dr. Henry's search for the Golden Fleece, Rocky finds the mythical treasure, but feels dizzy. When the Challs spot Rocky wearing the fleece, he runs, and a flame-breathing dragon charges at them, then vanishes. Dr. Henry guesses that Rocky is now able to summon mythical creatures. Hunting for Rocky, the Challs are snagged by a cyclops, but Ace throws a beehive at the monster. Finally, a mermaid -- June in disguise -- lures Rocky to the sea and throws fluid at him which can destroy the power of the fleece. Rocky’s head clears and the mythical creatures fade away.
