[This is my first time writing a fanfic, I hope it turns out well. This Story is about Ryo and Rika. This only follows the ending of season 3 plot. First few chapters will follow some of the episodes and then after that I make it up. This is my fanfic after all Btw, this first chapter is a background chapter so sorry to those who hate backgrounds. Also in these stories, all the tamers including Ryo are the age of 12.]

Chapter 1 – Prologue

Ryo Akiyama was just a normal 12 year old kid.[Yes I know he's 14 but it's easier if they all were around the same age] Except this normal boy was also know as the Digimon King because he won the Digimon Grand Prix. However that same year he disappeared without a trace, which meant that someone new won the tournament. In reality, Ryo was sucked into the Digital World. Ryo's skills as Digimon King has brought him much attention and gave him a reputation as being the best Digimon battler. His reputation was such that even the Digital World (which was inhabited by actual living Digimon) had heard of him. Ryo was summoned from the Real World in order to stop a rampaging Cyberdramon, who had been terrorising innocent, defenceless Digimon village. Although Ryo didn't know what he was supposed to do, he willingly took up the challenge set before him.

I confronted Cyberdramon, just before he reached the next village. Just as Cyberdramon was about to use his Desolation Claw attack on me, a bright white flashed halted him. From within the bright light appeared a blue device. I grabbed it and a beam of light shot out from the mini screen on the front of the device and hit Cyberdramon who instantly became subdued. All became silent as Cyberdramon started to calm down from his rage. I stared, dumbstruck at the blue device, wondering what just happened? I saw a Digimon come out from the nearby village so I turned towards him and the device instantly started flashing and a projection that showed me a picture of the Digimon in front and it's stats:

Salamon:

A Rookie Level Dgimon.

Special attacks: Puppy Howling and Petit Punch

Salamon stared at me with increasingly widening eyed, then I realise she's looking at the device in my hand. "Y-Y-You're Cyberdramon's T-T-Tamer?" she exclaimed.

"I'm sorry but I don't know what you are talking about…" Ryo said, puzzled.

"That Digivice in your hand-" (oh so that's what this thing is called) thought Ryo, "- proves that you are Cyberdramon's Tamer and also his Partner!" Salamon said. "I'm sorry but I still doesn't know what you mean"

"Don't worry you will figure it out in due time." And with that, she turned and walked away. I was starting to think that maybe she was right, I was starting to feel a connection with Cyberdramon. I could see a whole other side to him, I also understood why he was on a rampage. Cyberdramon's blood boiled every time he faced a tough opponent and when that opponent was defeated, Cyberdramon hungered for more destruction. Ryo walked on and Cyberdramon followed.

**Several Months Later**

"Rika Nonaka is our new Digimon Champion!"

"Yeah!"

"That was quite an overwhelming victory miss Nonaka, what did you do to prepare?"

"I didn't do anything. It was easy."

Rika Nonaka has just won the exact same tournament that Ryo had several months ago. The crowd was cheering wildly because she has just been crowned as Digimon Champion.

I stood there, just staring at the crowd. "This tournament was no big deal, it wasn't even worth my time," she thought. "Anyone with an IQ above 10 could beat these losers." Rika was then given a medal and she left the stage. As she slowly walked home, she thought to herself, "I can't believe how big a waste that tournament was. The only reason I signed up was because I wanted revenge on that arrogant, overconfident jerk Akiyama for humiliating me several months back but he didn't even have the nerve to show up! If I ever see that jerk again I am going to…" Rika finally reached her house.

She went to her room and laid down on her floor. "I'm sooo bored." Suddenly her room turned dark. "What the.. What's going on?" Three panels of light suddenly materialized around her table. Dark shadows appeared within the panels of light. "Help ussss be sssstronger. Help uss Digivolve. Help usss. Help usss." The shadows were wailing at Rika.

"I-I-I can't tame all of you! I-I-I only want o-o-one strong Digimon! One of her digimon cards flashed blue on the table. The shadows started to fade and then the silhouette of a fox started walking towards her from the panel of light.

"Are you Renamon?" I asked

"Let me be your partner Rika," Renamon said, "Together we will become stronger!"

The lights flashed out of existence. I took the blue card on the table and swiped it through my card reader. It then transformed into a Digivice. I thought that it was sigh so I made a wish. "I wish that Renamon was my partner Digimon." The fox-like Digimon appeared in front of her. "Hello Rika. I am Renamon."
