A Walk on the Other Side
Ken Ichijouji is sucked up into the Tamers' universe by a data stream from their Digital World. How is he supposed to get home, and why was he sent there? Ken meets Henry Wong and remembers a key figure in his past…Ryo Akiyama.
Chapter One: Memory of a Friend
Ken Ichijouji was sitting in front of his computer thinking about his past. There were so many gaps in his memory, so many pieces missing, but he remembered he had known a boy who he had met in the Digital World. He had disappeared and never returned from the Digital World after he had battled MoonMillenniummon. Everyone around him told him that it was useless to keep searching for his friend, but Ken never gave up hope that he might find him.
That boy was Ryo Akiyama, and Ken never forgot their friendship. They had fought many long, hard battles together, and after all that had happened Ryo had suddenly vanished inside the Digital World, never to be seen by anyone again.
"I'll find him one day," Ken said to himself. "No matter what anyone says, he's not dead. I know it, I can't figure out how but he's not dead."
"But if Ryo's not dead, then where is he, Ken?" Wormmon asked, poking his head up from his spot on Ken's bed.
"I'm not sure, but if he died in the Digital World, one of the Digimon would have seen it or heard something about him being eaten."
"That's very true Ken, and we haven't heard anything since he disappeared when you were ten."
"It's been three years, who'd believe it? My life is so different now, I have friends and the Digital World is safe from MaloMyotismon. Still…it's always bugged me that the first friend I ever had just disappeared into thin air."
"What are we going to do Ken?" Wormmon asked.
"I think I should go back into the Digital World and start searching again. Surely someone in the Digital World has seen them. I'll let my parents know first."
Ken Ichijouji walked into the kitchen where his mother was making lunch. It was Saturday and he was taking time to enjoy the weekend.
"Mom, I'm going to the Digital World so I may be gone for awhile. So I may need to pack a lunch for me and Wormmon."
"Oh really, Ken, is something wrong in the Digital World that you have to go?" his mother asked.
"Mom, do you remember Ryo Akiyama, the boy who used to come play with me when Sam was too busy doing homework?"
"Yes, dear, but Ryo's dead sweetheart, he disappeared all those years ago."
"But it couldn't hurt to look for him in the Digital World, just one more time, if I can't find him, then I'll accept it."
"I understand, Ken, but how long will you be gone?" his mother asked.
"I don't know, but I'll e-mail you as often as I can and I have friends in the Digital World who will help me."
"Be careful, Ken," his mother smiled. "Good luck. Oh, and do you want me to contact your friends?"
"Don't worry about it, Mom, I'll e-mail them," Ken replied. He fired off a quick e-mail message to Izzy, telling him that he'd be in the Digital World for awhile.
Ken made sure all his things were packed and picked up Wormmon off the bed.
"Ready to go, Wormmon?" Ken asked.
"As ready as ever," Wormmon replied. They moved over to the computer.
"Digi-port, open!" Ken said, the light flashed on the screen as Ken saw the portal to the Digital World open.
There was a bright flash as Ken Ichijouji vanished from the Real World and reappeared in the Digital World.
"Where should we go first?" Wormmon asked.
"I don't know, maybe we should go find Gennai, he might know how to find Ryo," Ken said. Ken and Wormmon traveled through the Digital World until they came to the Primary Village where they spotted Gennai hovering over several unhatched Digi-Eggs.
"Ah, Ken," Gennai greeted, a warm gleam in his eyes as he looked over at the Child of Kindness. "What brings you to the Primary Village?"
"I was looking for you, Gennai, where's Elecmon?" Ken asked, walking over to him.
"He is busy running errands, but I'm here, how might I be of service to a Digidestined?" Gennai asked.
"Have you ever met a boy named Ryo Akiyama?" Ken asked.
"Of course, you and he traveled the Digital World several years ago when you were only ten years old. You both defeated Millenniummon. You also helped him through the D-1 Tournament when Ryo was summoned back to the Digital World while you were still sick at home."
"I don't remember helping him while I was sick," Ken admitted. Some of those places in his mind were still blank. "Do you know where I might find him?"
"All I can tell you is that Ryo left this dimension after defeating MoonMillenniummon. That is all I know."
"Gennai, are you saying there are other dimensions? Ones like ours with Digimon?" Ken asked. It would explain a lot about why no one had ever found Ryo's body in the Digital World or the real one.
"Yes, it is true, there are many dimensions with Digimon in them, but they are not just like this one. They are each different and unique."
"Do you know how to get to these other dimensions?" Ken asked eagerly. He wanted to find Ryo and bring him home.
"Ken, I hate to interrupt, but you have an e-mail message from Izzy," Wormmon said.
Ken opened the new e-mail and began to read.
Ken,
I know that you're in the Digital World now, I got your message and during my latest research on this history of the Digital World I have discovered an ancient legend about the Four Exalted Ones who defeated Daemon and drove him from the Digital World before Myotismon came.
The names of the Digimon are Gallantmon, Justimon, Sakuyamon, and MegaGargomon. After the battle after they returned to the Primary Village, and just disappeared after they de-digivolved into Digi-eggs.
"Gennai, do you know anything about this old legend?" Ken showed Gennai the e-mail. Gennai looked thoughtful.
"Yes, I have heard of it," Gennai replied. "But I have never met any of the four Exalted Ones in the legend. That was before even my time, if you can believe it."
"But you're made up of Data," Ken said.
"Yes, but that happened long before I was around. I wish I could do more to help you, Ken," Gennai sighed.
"Don't worry, Gennai, you've helped me enough already," Ken said. He motioned for Wormmon to follow him.
"Where should we start looking for this other dimension?" Wormmon asked.
"I think we should head down toward the beach," Ken answered. They both made their way down to the beach after several hours of walking, they both sat down.
Pulling out the lunch he had packed, the two began to eat furiously. As they were eating Wormmon looked up and saw a crimson beam shoot down from the sky.
"Ken, look! What's that?" Wormmon asked.
"I don't know, let's go check it out."
They headed off toward the strange beam of light that appeared in the sky. As they got closer they saw the beam of light was connected to the ground. Curious, Ken stepped toward it, reaching out for the beam of light.
"Ken, don't try to—" Wormmon shouted a warning. It was too late as Ken was sucked into the beam of light. Wormmon barely managed to latch himself onto his partner's leg as they were sucked into the portal. Ken wasn't sure where they were going, but he had a feeling that they were headed to one of those other universes Gennai had told him about. The question was which one was he going to, and would he manage to find Ryo and return home?
Henry Wong walked into his house and made his way into the living room where his friends Takato, Rika, Kenta, Kazu, and Jeri were waiting for him.
"You're late, Henry," Takato said. "You got in just in time, the Digimon marathon is about to start."
"Did Suzie let you in?" Henry asked.
"Yeah, you remembered we were coming over, right?" Kazu asked.
"Well I…" Henry trailed off.
"You totally forgot," Terriermon said, laughing.
"Yeah," Henry admitted sheepishly. "I did forget."
The Tamers began watching the first episode of the marathon, which was about Ken Ichijouji's origins as the Digimon Emperor.
Henry had seen this episode before and it played out as it had before until the scene where Ken was walking alone beside a boy with clothes that were eerily similar to the ones that Ryo Akiyama wore. He noted that the boy's face was never seen. He wondered who that boy was and why he was wearing Ryo's clothes.
"Hey, did you guys notice that?" Henry asked.
"What?" Kazu asked, "Notice what?"
"That boy with Ken, he's wearing Ryo's clothes."
"That's not Ryo, if it was Ryo they'd show his face," Kenta said.
"I don't know…it looks like the same clothes to me," Henry frowned. Terriermon hopped up on his shoulder.
"Momentai, Henry," the rabbit-dog hybrid Digimon said. "You're taking this way too seriously. It's just a TV show."
"But you're real, Terriermon, so it might mean that the Digimon and the Digital World of the show could be real too."
"Terriermon is right, you are thinking too much, Socrates," Rika said in her usual, sarcastic tone, "just watch the show, will ya?"
"I just can't help but thinking—" Henry said just as the TV signal became garbled and the picture blurred.
"Aw, man!" Kazu shouted, "get back on, you stupid signal, I wanna watch my show!"
The signal came back on and the Tamers all stared at the TV, expecting to see the "Genesis of Evil" back on the screen. Instead, they saw nothing but a gray fuzzy picture.
The TV picture flashed back on and the show started up again. The rest of the Tamers watched the show, not really thinking about why the screen had gone on the fritz, but Henry had always had a little more insight than the others and knew that the interference had happened for a reason, but he didn't know what it was.
That strange feeling lingered with him the rest of the afternoon and into the evening, although on the outside he acted normal, his thoughts wondered back to that image of the boy who resembled Ryo over and over again.
Was that really Ryo? Henry thought to himself, could he be from another dimension?
Henry remembered the Digimon Wonderswan games that featured Ken Ichijouji and Ryo Akiyama. Ryo was the main character of many games like Anode/Cathode Tamer, Digimon Adventure 02: Tag Tamers, Digimon Adventure 02: D-1 Tamers and Digimon: Brave Tamer.
If Kenta and Kazu were such big fans of Digimon, why didn't they realize Ryo was the one in the videogames? Why didn't anyone else seem to make that connection either?
Henry shrugged his shoulders and smiled at his friends as they finished the Digimon marathon.
"I wonder why that happened," Jeri said, frowning.
"I don't know, Jeri," Takato answered. "They must've had a glitch at the network or something."
"If you say so, Takato," Jeri said, smiling.
"Well I gotta head home, my parents want me to finish my homework," Takato said as he and Guilmon headed out the door.
"My mom and Grandma are going to some fancy restaurant for dinner," Rika said. Renamon disappeared and Rika followed Takato out the door.
"We better split too," Kazu said. He looked at Kenta and the other boy nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I have to head home and do homework too, oh the torture," Kenta moaned.
"Stop complaining," Kazu scolded. "At least I take it like a man, unlike you, you whiney baby!"
"What is with you guys? What's your problem, Kazu?" Jeri asked.
"We have a problem?" Kazu shouted. "So says the girl who talks to a puppet on her hand!"
"Hey, leave her alone!" Henry retorted. "Just ignore them, Jeri."
"I'll try, thanks Henry," Jeri left too. Even though she had moved on from Leomon's death, she still missed her Digimon partner. Even though she was happy with her life she couldn't help but feel sad sometimes and he hid that fact by still using her dog puppet and acting cheerful. She couldn't help but wonder if there was a way to bring Leomon back. She put the thought out of her mind as she headed for the subway to go to her home in Shibuya.
After all his friends were gone, Henry sat down to work at the computer. Little Suzie was busy playing with Lopmon while Henry started to write his report on his latest reading assignment, The Fall of the House of Usher when Suzie spotted something outside.
"Hey Henry, there's a bright light!" Suzie shouted. Henry ran to the window.
"Something's Bio-emerging!" Henry exclaimed.
Janyu ran into the room. "Yamaki just called. He wants you and Terriermon to go see what it was."
"Can I go with Henry, Daddy?" Suzie asked.
"No, Suzie you can't, it might be too dangerous," Janyu said.
"But I'm a Digimon Tamer!" Suzie shouted.
"Don't worry, Suzie, I'll be back, you can come with me next time," Henry promised. He turned his attention to his father.
"What about the others?" Henry said. Just then, the phone rang. Henry ran and picked it up. It was Takato.
"Did you see that?" Takato asked.
"Yes, I'm heading for Shinjuku Park," Henry replied.
"What about us? I'm calling Rika and we're coming with you," Takato said.
"No! You guys have to go home, I'll check into it and let you know what's going on. Your parents are expecting you home. You have to let Rika know she doesn't need to come after this one."
"Okay, but she's not going to like it," Takato said.
"See you later," Henry finished as he hung up the phone.
"C'mon Terriermon, let's go!"
Terriermon hopped up onto Henry's shoulder.
"Let's get this show on the road!" Terriermon shouted. "I wanna fight whatever it is that's coming!"
"Just hold your horses, Terriermon. We don't even know if it's a threat," Henry scolded.
"Yeah, right, Henry," Terriermon snorted. "Everything that's ever Bio-Emerged in the Real World is always a threat. Let's go kick some Digi-butt!"
"Don't get your hopes up, Terriermon," Henry warned.
"Aw, you're no fun!" Terriermon complained as they headed out the door.
Ken awoke, groggily rubbing his eyes.
"Wormmon?" he called. "Where are you?"
"I'm right here, Ken." Wormmon answered.
"We better get going," Ken said, standing up and dusting himself off. "This is the Digital World isn't it?"
"Yes, it is, but it's different somehow," Wormmon frowned, looking around. All he could see was endless desert.
"I wonder how we get to the real world from here. I don't' see any televisions to access the Digi-Port."
"I don't know, but I'm sure we'll figure something out," Wormmon reassured him.
'Something's coming," Ken said warily.
Wormmon saw it too. It was a DarkLizardmon, and it was headed straight for them!
"Oh, great!" Ken growled staring at his Digivice as it fed him information about DarkLizardmon. "DarkLizardmon is a virus type, Evil Dragon Digimon. Her attacks are Dark Flare, Snipe Fang, and Darkness Ray."
"A human? How can there be a human in the Digital World?" DarkLizardmon shrieked.
"That's none of your business, Ugly!" Ken retorted. He was ready for a fight, so was Wormmon. This Digimon was definitely not one of the friendly ones.
"It doesn't matter, I will gladly upload your partner's data and then I will be strong enough to go to the Real World!"
"Go to the Real World?" Ken asked, bewildered. "What do you mean, 'go to the Real World?' You don't belong there; you belong in the Digital World."
DarkLizardmon laughed. "You are stupid, Human. Digimon belong in the Real World. It is the only reason we exist."
"You're not going to the Real World if it means killing Wormmon!" Ken shouted.
"That's right, DarkLizardmon. I'm not some stepping stone for you to get strong enough so you can Digivolve!" Wormmon added. His eyes hardened, he was ready to fight for his digital life.
"So be it!" DarkLizardmon growled, "I'll show those humans! They tried to destroy me, but I will return to the Real World stronger than ever!" she rose up and prepared to attack.
A bright light glowed and Wormmon began to Digivolve. "Wormmon Digivolve to…" Wormmon spun around faster and faster until he grew in size and sprouted wings. "…Stingmon!"
"Go get her, Stingmon!" Ken ordered.
"Spiking Strike!" Wormmon shouted, the spikes on his shoulders emitted a pink glow and a blade extended from his forearm. He slashed at DarkLizardmon, grazing the Digimon's shoulder.
DarkLizardmon shrieked angrily and shouted, "Dark Flare!"
A stream of fire shot out toward Stingmon, but the virus Digimon dodged. He looked at DarkLizardmon. "Is that all you've got?" he taunted.
"Snipe Fang!" DarkLizardmon shouted as she managed to sink her teeth into Stingmon's shoulder. Stingmon tried to throw her off but couldn't get a good grip on DarkLizardmon's bulky mass. DarkLizardmon picked up Stingmon and threw him across the sand.
"Gungh!" Stingmon groaned as he tried to stand to his feet.
DarkLizardmon viciously slashed her claws across Stingmon's side. He cried out in pain.
"STINGMON!" Ken roared angrily charging DarkLizardmon. No one hurt Wormmon; no one was going to take his friend away from him. He wasn't going to lose Wormmon again. Not like this.
Stingmon suddenly de-Digivolved back into Wormmon. Ken felt helpless and angry; he continued moving toward DarkLizardmon, intent on stopping her no matter what the cost was.
"No, KEN!" Wormmon shouted he wasn't Stingmon anymore; his battle with DarkLizardmon had drained him of his strength.
DarkLizardmon slowly approached Ken, who had assumed a Judo fighting stance. He'd never actually fought a Digimon in hand-to-hand combat, but he wasn't going down without a fight.
"Darkness Ray—" DarkLizardmon said, preparing to finish off Wormmon when something made her stop and look up at the sky in horror.
A bright light appeared and an enormous winged Digimon swooped down from the sky. Everything happened so fast that Ken had no time to think.
"Yuggoth Blaster!" the voice shouted as a tri-bolo beam of light spewed from its mouth, consuming DarkLizardmon in a wall of energy.
"NOOOO!" DarkLizardmon shrieked as she died, exploding into a million data fragments, she vanished from sight.
"Do you wish to go to the Real World, Ken?" a voice asked him.
"Who—who are you?" Ken asked, turning he began looking around. Wormmon followed his gaze and saw a large metallic Digimon, covered in crimson body-armor; it looked like a winged dragon.
"I am Grani; I was created as a program in the Real World of this dimension in order to bring the Tamers home from the Digital World. I became self aware and offered to assist the humans against the D-Reaper and went back to the Real World in order to battle the Chaos that nearly destroyed both world and gave my strength to Gallantmon in the final battle, although much of me resides in Gallantmon, a fragment of me has returned to the Digital World."
"I see; how do you know about me?" Ken asked.
"In this dimension, Ken Ichijouji is nothing more than a character of fiction in a children's television show about the Digimon. It appears that you are more than they think, Ken. Would you like to go to their world?" Grani asked.
"Yes, I would like to go there, I'm looking for someone," Ken said. He was in awe that humans had created a Digimon that had taken on a life of his own. He wasn't even born from a Digi-Egg.
"Who are you looking for?"
"His name is Ryo Akiyama," Ken said. "Since this is an alternate reality I wonder if he could be here."
"I know a boy named Ryo Akiyama," Grani said. "He is one of the Tamers in the Real World."
"Tamers?" Ken asked. "I heard that somewhere a long time ago."
"That is what the Digidestined call themselves in that world," Grani said.
A bright light flashed in front of Ken and he covered his eyes, he saw a large round dome that resembled a turtle appear in front of him. Grani could change his form; that was unexpected.
"As I said, I was first programmed to bring the children back home from the Digital World. The humans called me an Ark get in if you wish to go to the Real World."
Ken followed Grani's instructions and climbed inside the Ark. Wormmon followed suit.
"Please keep your hands and appendages inside the vehicle and enjoy the ride," Grani said humorously. "I always enjoy a good conversation and will answer any questions you might have."
"Okay, how do you know how to get back to the Real World of this dimension?"
"I remember how because Takato and Guilmon talked to me when I was bringing them home when the track I was on disintegrated."
"Takato? Is he the leader of the Tamers?" Ken asked.
"Yes," Grani replied.
"So he's kind of like Davis or Tai," Ken added. "He's the one they all follow."
"You could say that," Grani's voice echoed through the inside of the Ark.
"Thank you, Grani, for everything," Ken said. At least he was going to the Real World, even if it wasn't his Real World. It was better than having to fight off savage Digimon who were trying to go to the Real World. That puzzled him greatly. Why would Digimon want to travel to the Real World? In his dimension they waited in the Digital World for their human partners to find them.
"Excuse me, Grani," Wormmon said. "Why do Digimon want to go to the Real World? We were attacked by a DarkLizardmon, who said she would upload my data and go to the Real World because I was as Digimon with a human partner."
"This Digital World is much more dangerous than the one you know," Grani explained. "It is a world where 'survival of the fittest' is the only law that exists among the Digimon. A Digimon only has one goal: to go to the real world so that they will find their human partner.
"Is that why we were attacked?" Ken asked.
"Some Digimon believe that if they absorb the data of a Digimon who has a human partner they will become stronger than if they absorbed the data of a Digimon without one. I am not sure how your Digivice can activate Digivolution in this world because you are not from this dimension."
"Maybe it's because I'm still in the Digital World, or perhaps it's because Ryo lives in this dimension. Millenniummon said that Ryo was a random element that could make the impossible possible. I remember that, and not much else about Ryo Akiyama. I know there's something special about him."
"Yes, that's true," Grani said. "Ryo is a special boy. He is the only one of the Tamers or the Digidestined who has lived in both dimensions."
"How do you know that?" Ken asked.
"I know more than even my human creators know about me, I have been a Digimon longer than even the Tamers know. But that doesn't matter."
"Grani, there's so much I want to ask you—" Ken began.
Grani interrupted him. "There is no time. We are almost to the real world. I will leave you soon, Ken. But don't worry; my friends will take care of you."
"But how will I know who your friends are, Grani?" Ken asked.
"They'll know you, Ken, and you will know the Tamers because they have partners," Grani said. "We have arrived. Farewell, Ken."
"But Grani!" Ken shouted.
"Farewell, we will meet again soon enough," Grani's voice echoed and dissipated as Ken and Wormmon were surrounded by a bright light. They had arrived in the Real World.
Mitsuyo Yamaki stood inside the Hypnos building, flipping the lid of his Zippo lighter up and down.
"Sir, something is bio-emerging into the real world," Riley said as she furiously typed commands into the Hypnos computer system.
"Is it a Digimon?" Yamaki asked, looking up slightly.
"I'm not sure, I'm putting a tracer on it now," Riley said, she punched in more commands. "I—I don't believe it, the Wild One has Grani's program signature, but Grani disintegrated in the battle with the D-Reaper! How could he come back?"
"Should I call the Monster Makers about this?" Tally asked from her seat behind Riley.
"I think they'd want to know," Yamaki said. "Did you get anything else on that Grani-type Wild One?"
"Yes, there's something inside it, I think one of them is a Digimon," Riley said.
"And the other one?" Yamaki asked.
"I'm not sure what it its," Riley admitted.
"Where will it appear?" Yamaki frowned. He hoped that whatever the Digimon was that it wouldn't cause a major disturbance to anything.
"West Shinjuku," Tally answered. "I've pinpointed it to Bio-emerge in Shinjuku Park."
Mitsuyo Yamaki pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Hello, Janyu," he greeted Henry's father over the phone. "It seems Grani is Bio-emerging into the real world. There's something with him, but my operatives can't identify it. Have your son and Terriermon look into and tell me what they find. Call me back as soon as you know anything." He hung up the phone. He'd have to trust the children. He hoped that the Digimon inside of Grani wasn't a threat.
Henry ran through the streets of Shinjuku, following the compass on the screen of his D-Power. Turning a corner he headed straight for Shinjuku Park. He saw the bright light begin to dissipate and squinted, trying to see what was inside the Digital Field.
As the light disappeared, Henry saw a boy about thirteen years old, standing in the middle of Shinjuku Park. Henry gasped. He knew who this boy was without having to say anything.
Ken Ichijouji?! Henry's mind screamed. How could he be here?!
Henry stared at Ken as the Child of Kindness rubbed a hand over his eyes sand turned his attention to him. He spotted Terriermon atop Henry's shoulder and his eyes went wide.
"Willice?" Ken asked. He shook his head. This boy wasn't Willice; Willice lived in America and had blonde hair. This boy had black hair, but bore a strange resemblance to Willice.
"No, you're not Willice, this is Shinjuku Park," Ken said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Henry," Henry said, "Henry Wong. How did you get here, Ken?"
"A Digimon calling himself Grani offered to bring me to the Real World." Ken saw Henry's eyes become wider.
"Grani, are you sure?" Henry asked.
"Yes," Ken replied. "You know who I am? Oh, yeah, Grani told me I'm just a character of fiction here."
"I was right about Ryo!" Henry exclaimed. To his surprise, Ken began shaking. "Ken, are you okay?"
"You—you know Ryo Akiyama?" Ken asked, shaking. He couldn't believe it, Ryo was alive! He'd been right all along.
"Yes, that is Ryo with you when you went to the Digital World, wasn't it?" Henry asked.
"Yes," Ken replied. "Tell me Henry, how long has Ryo lived in this dimension?"
"I don't know, I've never asked him that. I just figured out he was from your universe today, actually."
"Hello, there," Wormmon said moving into Henry's view.
"Hello Wormmon," Henry greeted, bending down to pat the Digimon's head. "It's nice to finally meet you."
"Likewise," Wormmon said.
Terriermon hopped down, "So what's it like to be partnered with a Boy Genius?"
Wormmon laughed, "Ken is well, Ken, and he's my best friend."
"I could say the same for Henry, except Ken is smarter than he is!"
"Hey, I resent that Terriermon!" Henry exclaimed, glaring at his Digimon. Terriermon tried to ignore his partner until he couldn't stand it and cringed.
"Geez Henry, I was just joking," Terriermon apologized. Henry laughed and turned back to Ken Ichijouji.
"I'm sorry, I haven't formally introduced myself," Ken said apologetically. "I'm Ken Ichijouji."
"I know, Ken," Henry said. "Since you don't have a place to stay, how 'bout you come home with me. I'd like for you to meet my Dad."
"Your Dad?" Ken asked.
"Yes, my Dad was one of the Monster Makers," Henry said. Ken looked puzzled.
"The Monster Makers were a group of people who wanted to create artificial life programs back in the 1980s, my father and his friends created programs that eventually became the Digimon."
"Your father…created the Digimon?" Ken asked in awe. He had never dreamed that the Digimon were actually created by humans. He'd heard that Digimon may have started out as packets of data but he had never actually thought about where they had come from.
"Yes, would you like to meet him?" Henry asked.
"I would really like that," Ken said. This world never ceased to amaze him. Everything about it was different. He was ready for anything and he was eager to meet the man who created the Digimon and see Ryo Akiyama soon.
