Author Notes; I'm sorry for posting my Digimon App Tales chapters so late. I had family problems at home so I don't have enough time to written my stories yet. So in apologies, I posted this other Digimon fanfiction that I created the other day, Digimon In-Verse. I have only finished this chapter cause I'm busy making my first story, but I will posted them when I have time to finished the next chapter. Anyway, Thanks for reading my stories and feel free to post any comments about my story or pointed out any errors if you can.

There is a small area with with a rough terrain next to an oasis with plants and trees around it. In that area were two figures, one big and one short, training together.

The big one has a humanoid-shaped figure that looked like a professional wrestler. He has strong muscle tones with a black skin that look like he is wearing spandex and wears a white coat over his shoulders.

The other one has a small dragon-like figure that shines in cool white. It is wearing a red cape with a hood and goggles with a similar fashion as the big figure.

Right now, the big figure is giving hard training section with the small dragon.

[Gankoomon] "COME ON, Huckmon! Is that all of your power?! You'll never be the strongest with that kind of strength! Try again!"

[Huckmon] "Ye- Yes, Master Gankoomon!"

Gankoomon roughly encourage his young disciple to attack him again. Huckmon is preparing to unleash its attacks.

[Huckmon] [Fif Slash!]

He send his study claws to cut his mentor, but Gankoomon's skin has no wound marks on it so Huckmon prepare his second attack.

[Huckmon] [Teen Ram!]

Huckmon rotates his tail like a drill and thrust it to Gankoomon. Again, it seem ineffective as Gankoomon remain unfazed of his disciple's attack.

[Huckmon] [Baby Flame!]

He spew fire from his mouth and aim it at Gankoomon, but he easily extinguish the flame with his pressure alone.

[Gankoomon] "NOT ENOUGH! Try again!"

[Huckmon] "Yes, Master!"

Gankoomon commands his disciple to do it again and Huckmon repeated his attacks. This is their regular training routine to increase Huckmon's attack power while Gankoomon checking his disciple process.

[Gankoomon] "OKAY! That's it for today's training!"

After a while, Gankoomon ends the training program today and Huckmon let's out a tiresome sigh while laying down. Then he asked his mentor about something.

[Huckmon] "Master, my attacks have grown stronger, right? Does this mean that we can finally go on an adventure together?"

Huckmon asked that question impatiently while bearing hope to his mentor's answer. Gankoomon remains silent after hearing that and then calmly answer to it.

[Gankoomon] "Indeed. Your attacks have been increased in power since last week and your movements are more sharper while still has smooth rhythm."

[Huckmon] "Then-"

[Gankoomon] "BUT! You are still not ready to face the outside world yet!"

Gankoomon explain his disciple process while rejecting his request. Huckmon became speechless after hearing that, then he begins to let out his complaints.

[Huckmon] "Why?! You said that I have improve my attacks and grown stronger! Why can't you let me go with you on your adventures, Master?! We have been here for many years yet you told me stories about yourself and your journey!"

[Gankoomon] "CAUSE! While you have indeed gone stronger after I taken you as my disciple, you are still lacking something to become a true warrior!"

[Huckmon] "Then what is it?! What is it that I lacked to become a warrior?!"

[Gankoomon] "That is for you to find out alone! It won't make you realize it even I tell you!"

[Huckmon] "Argh!"

Seeing that his request is rejected again, Hackmon run to his resting spot in order to be alone for a while.

After seeing his disciple ran off like that, Gankoomon took out something from his pocket and looked at a small chip in his palm.

[Gankoomon] "It has been over 10 years since I take care of him…"

Gankoomon mutter to himself while looking at the chip.

…

Somewhere on the road, a vehicle is currently driving through the tracks of the barren wasteland.

The vehicle is different than any normal vehicle as it shaped like a beetle with six tires. In the vehicle has two passengers on board; a boy and a girl.

The boy looked around 14 years-old with tanned skin-color, light gray short hair and he is Japanese. He's wearing some sort of adventurer clothing with red color. He had red goggles on his head and he is currently relaxing in his driver seat.

The girl looked about 13 years-old with short, black hair in a bob-cut style and is wearing some kind of a pilot suit. She is Chinese and has a short stature than the boy. She is currently driving the vehicle that they are riding.

[Tsubasa] "Hey, Xiao Li. How long till we have arrived at the place that old man has recommended?"

[Xiao Li] "Relax, Tsubasa. Don't get riled up like that. The Digi-Beetle's navigation system states that we will be arriving at our location in a few hours."

[Tsubasa] "Hehh…"

Tsubasa is slightly disappointed that they have only a few hours to get there. Then he decided to turn on the radio to kill some time along the way. The first thing that he heard is a news broadcast.

[Announcer] "Hello, folks! Welcome back to DNNC, aka the Data Network News Channel, and we're live to bring you the latest news."

[Announcer] "First of all, this is the year 32 D.C.E. after the Digital Shift Phenomenon, an event where the world has changed forever. As all of you known, over 30 years ago, our world has managed to fused together with another world called the Digital World. In our history reports said it was created by a group of scientists that have accidently discovered the Digital World and their experiments to teleport to this world somehow went wrong and lead to this current situation, but whether it is true or not remains unclear."

(D.C.E. stands for Digital Common Era)

[Announcer] "After the fusion, many landscapes have changed drastically over the past years due to some part of the Digital World have migrated into our world. Not only that, it has caused many deaths in the population to both worlds. The monsters known as Digimon, the Digital monsters, have appeared in our world and start creating havoc in many places."

[Announcer] "After 10 years since the Digital Shift event, our people have managed to make peace with a few Digimon and created an organization called the Tamer Union to bring Tamers, people who worked and fight with the Digimon, to help appease the population from disasters around the world. They have become a successful organization and a new hope for the masses."

[Announcer] "Due to the support of the Tamer Union, many colonies have formed over the years. Some of them have created new republics while others have restored their democracies. Either way it is the new era of the world. In the present, Tamer Union now have many bases all over the world and new Tamer guilds have appeared over the years."

[Announcer] "That's it for the remainder of history. Let's head to the latest news. Our today news is about the Neo Yamato Republic being attack by a terrorist group known as [Shiranui]. They are a group of Tamers that uses mostly Nightmare Soldiers and Dark Area Digimons, and they have disagree with the Union policies and fight them for their own terms. The incident only have a few casualties which is fortunate, but we are unclear about the goal of their attack. Now on the next news-"

After listening to the radio in the news channel for about a hour, Tsubasa lets out his complaints again.

[Tsubasa] "Man, if I knew that this job will take this long, I would refuse it from him."

[Xiao Li] "Don't say that! Do you forget the fact that we are currently in debt because you messed up from our last job!?"

[Tsubasa] "It wasn't my fault! That truck couldn't hold on the materials and let go of the stuff!"

[Xiao Li] "Only because you are driving it too fast! Thanks to that incident, we were forced to pay for it with every Bits we had! It was still not enough to pay it all so they put us in debt!"

[Tsubasa] "Okay, Okay! I get it! I'll be careful on this job."

Tsubasa and Xiao Li are having their usual bickering between them on the road. After they settle their argument, Tsubasa asked something about their request from their employee.

[Tsubasa] "By the way, what is the description for this job? Something like finding some metal?"

[Xiao Li] "I can't believe that you don't remember most of the details of it! This is not just finding an ordinary metal! It was Chrondigizoit Metal!"

[Tsubasa] "Oh yeah, those things. I believe that thing use by Digimon to improve their defenses or something."

[Xiao Li] "That was Chrome Digizoid made from Chrondigizoit Metal, stupid! Chrondigizoit Metal is a mysterious metal that came from the Digital World before it has merged with ours. The extreme hardness of its body yet several characteristics similar to living tissue are very favorable to most of us and the Digimon to use."

[Xiao Li] "Due to the Digital Shift event, we were able to harness it and use its characteristics to our advantage. Although the unrefined version is still usable to some people, Chrome Digizoid is much stronger than Chrondigizoit Metal so many of them were refined. Most Digimon use it to improve themselves while we humans use it for other things like improve houses, strengthening weapons, and building powerful vehicles like this one."

[Tsubasa] "Heeh… It is a very handy material, huh?"

[Xiao Li] "Of course it is! That why we were lucky that Quill managed to find this job, or else we have to sold everything we had! I'm still surprised that Quill managed to find this job. Most of the jobs related to Chrome Digizoid were handle by Tamers, not for Scavengers like us."

[Tsubasa] "Well, this Scavenger will dig up a lot of Chrondigizoit Metals than those Tamers can do! If we found more of these things, We will be able to pay our debts while getting rich at the same time!"

Tsubasa become motivated at the idea while Xiao Li smiled and nodded in response to it. By the way, Tsubasa's profession is a Scavenger which they search for materials and other things related that can be use for society.

After the Digital Shift Phenomenon, many new jobs were formed after the event and Scavenger is one of them. Although it is less dangerous than Tamers position, there are still some risks to it.

After a while on the road, the Digi-Beetle have arrived at the area where the Chrondigizoit Metal are buried.

[Xiao Li] "We have arrived! Look like this is the place where Quill has heard about the Chrondigizoit Metal are here."

[Tsubasa] "Yosh! Time to get to work!"

…

Somewhere in the rocky area is Huckmon laying on the smooth surface of the rock in depression.

[Huckmon] "Huh… Another rejection from Master Gankoomon and to spend my time wallowing around this place. How long do I have to stay here until Gankoomon thinks that I am ready? What is it that I'm lacking, Master?"

As Huckmon keeps asking that question to himself in depression, he suddenly tensed up as he sense something foreign coming to this area.

[Huckmon] "Hmm!? This presence… It is not from around here! Could it be an intruder? I've better check it out!"

Huckmon gets up from his spot and went to check out the presences near by.

…

Meanwhile in a different area, Tsubasa is walking through the rocky field holding a metal detector to locate the Chrondigizoit Metal buried around here.

[Tsubasa] "Still no sign of the metal… Hey, Li. Are you sure this thing will work? After all, we are searching a digital metal that is made of data and codes."

[Xiao Li] "Of course it will work! The scientists have proven that the qualities of Chrondigizoit Metal are similar to our regular metals. Besides, this metal detector is best thing for tracking any kind of metal! I got it on sale the other day!"

[Tsubasa] "I'm wondering who is really the one spending of our money."

[Xiao Li] "What was that you saying?"

[Tsubasa] "O-Oh nothing!"

Tsubasa stop talking with his transmitter and start searching the Chrondigizoit. After a while, he gotten a faint reading when the metal detector is acting up.

[Tsubasa] "Hey, I got a reading here!"

[Xiao Li] "Excellent! That means the metal is close by! See, I've told you that this thing will work."

[Tsubasa] "Yeah yeah, I get it. Now all I need to do is to move slowly to where the metal is buried…"

[Huckmon] "Stop! Who are you, human?! And what are you doing in this place?!"

[Tsubasa] "Hmm?!"

Tsubasa became surprised and turned to the direction of the voice where he finds a small white dragon with a red cape. It was Huckmon who came to this area and finds a human loitering around with a strange device on his hand.

Neither of them knew that their meeting is the start of their grand adventures together.
