"The Megavolt Monster" is the fourth episode of Godzilla.
Plot
In the section of the Ocean known as "the Valley Trench." A ship carrying cargo is out at Sea when it is struck by an Electrical Attack coming from Underwater. The Captain and his Crew manage to flee from the Vessel with their lives as they ponder what destroyed their ship. Later, the Calico Crew gets wind of the incident and they head to the site to investigate. The next morning, the crew notices the Water is carrying electrical charges. Quinn and Brock are submerged underwater inside of the Calico's Bathysphere to get a closer look when they are attacked by a Giant Blue Monster emitting an Electrical Glow. The "Megavolt" Monster cuts the cable to the bathysphere just as it's being hoisted back up, leaving Quinn and Brock plunging into the Trench below. The monster then turns its attention to the Calico and attacks Pete and Majors, but majors calls upon Godzilla to hold off the monster while Godzooky goes to rescue quinn and brock.
Godzilla is temporarily stunned when the megavolt monster releases an Electromagnetic Pulse, and thus it makes a hasty retreat. Quinn and brock continue to descend until the bathysphere break through the ocean and crash onto Dry Land. Quinn and brock discover that they are inside of a Valley, protected by an enormous pocket of air underneath the Ocean Floor. Disobey major's orders to stay put, quinn and brock decide to get a closer look of their surroundings until they are both confronted by two smaller megavolt monsters, who prepare to attack them. Godzooky arrives in time to scare away the megavolt monsters long enough for the three of them to hide inside of a Cave from the monsters' attacks. Knowing that quinn and brock are in trouble, majors and pete are taken underwater by riding inside of godzilla's air-tight hand as the Monster King dives down into the Air Pocket as well.
While trying to survive the megavolt monsters' attacks, the trio notice where the monsters are getting their power from: An electrically-charged rock formation. Just as the monsters are about to attack quinn, brock, and godzooky again, godzilla, majors, and pete arrive just in time. As godzilla engages the megavolt monsters in battle, the crew manage to destroy the monsters' food source by having godzooky catapult some boulders into a corner of the valley, disrupting the air pocket and causing the valley to cave in with water. As the valley quickly floods, the crew takes refuge inside of the bathysphere while godzilla and the megavolt monsters are swept away by the flood. Thanks to his aquatic nature, godzilla is unaffected and he takes the bathysphere back to the surface. Suddenly godzilla is ambushed by the bigger megavolt monster from before. After a short battle though, godzilla manages to wrestle with the megavolt monster long enough for it to lose all of its energy, and the monster retreats into the Trench with its brethren, where they will do no harm ever again.

Trivia
- Godzilla appears to break the fourth wall in this episode. After the last Megavolt Monster shrinks in size and swims into the crevice to join its brethren, Godzilla briefly looks at the viewer in confusion before roaring in victory.
