More than a game

A ten year-old boy enter his apartment his head hung in shame. He took the long way home and stopped in the park. He left the tournament right after losing in it. He did not want to know his rank in the tournament at least he got digi-points. He looked at the screen on his T-device. On the screen was an gatomon laying on her side. The tournament was two out of three but Tai's gatomon got injure in the first battle so he had to forfeit the second battle. "Hi honey," His mother said with her normal bright smile, "How was the tournament?"

"No good," Tai mutter as he walks to his room. He sat on his bottom bunk. He loves to play the digimon game but he was not that good at it. He sat there asking himself what he was doing wrong. He did what his team told him to do but he still loses. The tears coming from his eyes made the room a blur so he did not see the screen glowing. A beam hit Tai's chest. As the boy with the large brown hair boy sleep on his bed, two green eyes look at him. A pair of claws pulled a blanket onto the boy.

Kari ran into her home. "Hi, Mom," Kari yelled running to her mother with a smile. Her mother loves how cute the eight year-old looks. "Where Tai?" Kari asked, "I look around the conviction center and could not find him."

"He's in your two room," the adult said, "he's not that happy."

"Thanks mom," Kari said as she left. Her mother smiled as Kari enters the room and found Tai asleep. "Wake up!" Kari yelled.

"I'm up. I'm up," Tai said. He looks at his smiling sister face. "Why are you so happy?"

"I made it to the last sixteen in the tournament," Kari said with a smile. "Every one in the team made it as yell. We look for you at the center to tell you that we are going to celebrate at the digimon hangout but we could not find you. How did you do?" Kari asked.

"Lost in the first round," Tai said.

"You just got your T-device yesterday," Kari said. Tai walk over and pick up his T-device from the ground and walk to his computer. Rest there was three other digivices. "Are you coming?"

"Sure," Tai said, "Just give me some time to get together." Kari smiled and left the room. Tai knew that this was an importance moment for Kari. She did not have many things to be proud about. Tai refuse to give to miss Kari first celebration. It not every day someone get to the final sixteen in a tournament of over two hundred.

"I'm glad she's gone," Tai heard behind him. He turns to see an agumon. "Hi," the Agumon said before he ran to Tai and gave him a hug.

"So you are real," Tai said.

"Is that a way to welcome you digimon," the agumon said, "Oh and you other digimons say hi. Miko say she sorry about losing in the first fight."

"She couldn't done better most people in this area are only trainer," Tai paused before saying, "I need to get to the digimon hangout."

"Ok, I'll be in this closet," the agumon said before he open the door. A pile of odd and ends fell onto the digimon.

Tai ran to his digimon add. After Tai push every thing back into the closet, Tai said, "My big brother is borrowing that closet. Use the other one."

"I'll stay in here until you come back. Bring back some food," Agumon said before Tai left the room. Agumon sat in the blacken closet. "Well, I'm here. How do I tell a ten year old that he's going to fight?" Agumon asked himself.

Tai ran to the digimon hangout. A building that people go to talk about digimon, or to spend digi-point, buy digimon products, sign up for a tournament, or anything else to do with digimons. Tai enter to see a party. There he found his older brother, Ryo, holding a trophy and others from his digi-team. Her friends surrounded Kari.

Before Tai join the amusement, He wanted to get some things with his digi- points. He walks up to the counter. "Good day," The lady behind the counter said, "How may I help you?"

"My digimon was hurt badly in the tournament and I was hoping to get healed," Tai said as he placed his T-device on the counter.

The lady grabs the T-device and plugs it into a computer. "That will cost you ten digi-points," The lady said with a smile.

"Sure," Tai said.

"Also you have each of the types digivice do you want to up load up the transfer?" the lady said.

"What is the transfer?" Tai asked.

The smiled and said, "The transfer allow you to use one digimons with a difference digivice as long as the transfer have digi-energy. The more you use it the more digi-energy it can hold."

"I'll take it," Tai said. The lady types the computer and then places a box on the counter. Tai paid the lady and grab the box. Then Tai walk over to the party.

Later Tai and Kari were walking home. "So did you like the party?" Tai asked.

"Yea, Too bad we can't stay there longer," Kari said, "TK and me fuse his patamon and my gatomon to get a new race. Then a use my remaining digi- points to make Gatomon my digi-destined partner. Matt was stile yelling at TK for changing sides when we left."

"I can't wait to see what Big Brother is going to do when he hears from his best friends of what their younger brother and sister did," Tai said.

"If you tell then I'm telling of yours," Kari said.

"But that would brake the rule," Tai said, "No secret between us and keep the other secrets. But why did you make Gatomon you digi-destined partner?"

"Digi-destineds have closer relationship with their digimons than Trainers," Kari said, "I'm still a trainer but I wanted to make Gatomon stand out. I truly want to pet her."

Soon, Tai and Kari were in their room. Tai made a stop in the kitchen. "Tai why did you bring food into the room?" Kari asked, "you ate enough at the party."

"It's not for me," Tai said, "Close the door and you'll see." Kari did as her brother told her to do. Tai open the closet and said, "It's safe to come out." Kari just stood there watching a digimon walk over to the food and start to eat. It was an Agumon just like one that is Tai's digi- destined partner and her now strongest digimon on her T-device. Kari ran over the small dinosaur and hug it to make sure it was not a hologram.

"See Tai that's how you greet some one," the agumon said.

"Why are you here?" Tai asked.

"I'm here to protect you," Agumon said, "After all that what partners do."

"Is my gatomon real?" Kari asked. ~~

Note: The digimon hangout: A building that people go to talk about digimon, or to spend digi-point, buy digimon products, sign up for a tournament, or anything else to do with digimons

Digi-points: kind of like money. They are used to improve the digimons. New training tools and better food. The cost of some object changes depending what digivice they attach it to. ( Adding a digimon is cheaper for trainer than anyone else)

Digi-team: a group that you work with to improve your digimons

There are four ways they can be Digi -heroes: Trainer, Tamer, Digi- destined, metamorphose morph, or a mixture of the four.

Trainer: They can train many digimons. Also can if you one have enough digi- point then can fuse two digimons in to one. They keep the two old digimons and the new one maybe an entire new race of digimons.

Tamer: (Like From 3) Can add they digimon(s) in battle.

Digi-destined: (Like from 1 & 2) they can make their digimons temporary digivolve letting them fight harder in a battle

Metamorphose A.K.A morph: (Like from 4) They can take the form of digimons. After they win a fight the absorb data from the digimon. When they get 100% of the data of that digimon they can take the rookie form. Digivolving

Mixture of the four: just like it sound. They are rare because of the rivalry each type has.

I've changed the card game. I'll tell about it later.
