Disclaimer:I don't own Digimon, I'm 14 years old, I...

Author's note:I'm not too familiar with the card game rules, so if it's off, don't flame me! Also, the Digimon cards will all be changed as far as attacks and evolutions.

Chapter 1

"Digimon, huh"asked 13 year old Kari Kamiya.

"Yeah, it's a cool new card game, they're holding a tournament just one week from now, the prize is 2,000 dollars"said T.K.

"Could you teach me how to play, it sounds like fun"said Kari.

"Sure, after school we'll get you a starter deck, but be careful, it's a tough game"said T.K. ************************************************

Kari needed to win this tournament. Her mother was dying in the hospital, the dctors said it would only be a matter of weeks before she died, she had cancer. Whenever Kari was all alone, she would cry all the tears she held back most of the time, it hurt her crying so much, but she couldn't help it.

But with the 2,000 dollars, she could get her mother treated with a very expensive medicine, while it wouldn't cure her, she could live a fairly normal life. She noticed a lot of kids in the school seemed to have these Digimon cards. Her other friends, Davis, Cody, Yolie, all seemed to be in this franchize.

Kari felt like an outcast because she had yet to get a deck or learn the rules, or any of that. She had tried to watch what were known as "Digi dules" but everyone told her to get away because she was not a Digimon fan. Besides, T.K was going to give her a lesson on how to play anyway.

She decided to go see Davis about all this, see a little info before she learned more about it.

"Hey davis"said kari.

"Hey Kari, what's up"asked Davis.

"I wanted to ask you about this whole Digimon craze. I don't know how to say this but, um, well I'm gonna learn how to play, but could you, you know, show me stuff like what kind of cards are rare and stuff"asked Kari.

"Sure, here, I'll show you my rarest card"said Davis taking out his deck. Kari waited in anticipation for Davis to show her.

"Here it is, MetalGreymon, holographic"bragged Davis. If her were talking to anyone else, his card would probaly be long gone. Kari noticed all the numbers and stuff.

"This is gonna be harder then I thought"thought Kari. **************************************************

It took all but 2:50$ of Kari's allowance, but she got a starter deck, now she was in T.K's bedroom, she was looking through her deck, T.K took out a game mat.

"Allright Kari, now to learn, Let me see one of your Digimon"

Kari gave him Ratmon, it was a rookie.

"Allright, take a look in the box here, these are the attacks the Digimon use"

It had Sewer sludge, below it defend, and Gas.

"Allright now look at the numbers, that's the power of the attack, when the number is higher, you score points, that's where we get to the next part. See those boxes. The colors all represent the levels, Rookie, champion, Ultimate, and Mega. The number in the box shows the number of points your Digimon get's when beating that level of Digimon"

Kari nodded, she seemed to get it.

"The first player to reach 10,000 points wins the match. You get it so far"

Kari nodded, it seemed simple enough so far.

"Next is the level. Ratmon is a rookie, that's the most basic level, now all Rookie can Digivolve into stronger monsters, the next level is a Champion, you can't Digivolve a Rookie the first turn you play it, sometimes you have to discard cards in order to play a champion, or any level Digivolution. Now, the next is Ultimate, then Mega, digivolving them is the same pretty much as Digivolving a Rookie"

"I gotchya"said kari.

"Allright, next are these, these are called powerblast cards. Some of them are Digivolution cards needed to Digivolve a Digimon of a certain type. See the symbol at the top, there's Yellow, Green, and Red. Those symbols are next to the attacks, so you have to start off with that attack, and you need a Digivolution card for that type, sure you got all this"asked T.K. Kari nodded, she was a good learner.

"Good, now these other ones can do all kinds of things, power up your Digimon for example. That's pretty much all you need to know, wanna play a game now"

"No, I should get home, see ya T.K"

"See ya Kari" ************************************************

Kari looked through her deck at home. Besides Ratmon, she also had Elecmon, Gizamon, Dinomon, Betamon, Terramon and Grotusmon. her champion Digimon were Tryanamon, Golemnmon, Gatomon, Starmon, Seadramon, Roachmon, and needlemon, that's when realazation struck her.

"Man, some of these Digimon required Rokie level Digimon I don't have"she thought.

She had only 3 Ultimates:Extryanamon, Gigusmon, and Tikimon.

"Man, I gotta get more packs if I'm gonna have a chance of winning this tournament"she said to herself.

All her other cards were Digivolution and some minor power ups. ***************************************************

"Man, I'm gonna kick butt at that tournament"said Davis looking at his deck.

"There won't be anyone that can beat me, I'll make sure of it"he said.

As he walked down the street, someone was watching. He was only a couple years older then Davis. He had long Black hair that reached down just past his shoulders. His eyes were big and purple(human eyes though) He had a red vext with Golden bracelets on his rists, a Golden necklace, Blue jeans and Black sneakers, he had a deck too.

"I'll crush that loser or anyone else who dares to stand in our way"he thought. **************************************************

T.K was scanning through his deck at home, preparing for the tournament.

It was then he got a phone call.

"Hello"

"T.K"

"Kari, Kari what's wrong, you sound-

Kari was taken off the line.

"If you wanna see your friend walking again, I suggest you arrive at the park within ten minutes, and bring your deck with you" *************************************************

T.K arrived there, and saw the kid on the line(one that was looking at Davis)

"Where's Kari"demanded T.K.

He pointed to a tree, Kari was tied to it tightly, with cloth wrapped around her mouth.

The kid took out a pocket knife.

"Having the right perswader really helps sometimes"he said.

"You're sick, just who are you"Demanded T.K.

"The name's Gelge, and I challenge you to a Digi duel card match, if you win, I'll let your girlfriend go, if you lose, I'll keep her as my personal ragdoll"said Gelge.

"You're on, but you better keep your promise"said T.K.

Kari tried to tell T.K no, but her cries were muffled by the gag.

"Don't worry Kari, I'll beat him"said T.K.

Kari tried hard to break free from the ropes, but it was no use. T.K noticed a huge table there, with an enlargened game mat.

" Shuffle your deck"ordered Gelge.

They both shuffled and placed their decks on the mat. Kari could only watch helplessly. Both drew their hands.

"I'll play ToyAgumon"said Gelge.

It appeared on the mat, no bigger then T.K or Gelge.

Kari gave everything she got to break free, but it didn't work obviously.

T.K looked through his hand, deciding the best card to play.

"I play Gabumon, and his Horn attack which I have to use first, will do well. Since your ToyAgumon's Block chunk only does 230, and Gabumon's does 300, I wipe out your Digimon, and gain 100 points"

T.K:100

Kari could onnly watch helplessly, not even able to cheer T.K on.

"I play another ToyAgumon, and use the Power blast option Metal attack, raising the power of his attack by 50 points, enough to wipe out your monster since his Blue blaster only does 220"

Gelge:100

"I play Gommamon, and use his special ability, swim, which means you can't touch him"said T.K.

"T.K never told me anything about Special abilities"thought Kari.

"That's just sad, because I play Betamon, who's special allows HIM to swim, so now he can wipe Gommamon out"

"Don't think so, take a look at the power Blast I layed down"

"What"

"It's called Miracle fish, a swimming Digimon will get powered up by 100 points, enough to exterminate Betamon"

T.K:200

"That makes no diffrence, I play this Digivolution card, to Digivolve ToyAgumon, to Grapplermon, your swim ability will do little to help you"

"We'll see about that Gelge, for I unvale my Gommamon, and play a Digivolution card as well, to create Ikkakumon"

"You fool, Ikkakumon has to defend on his first move"

"I know, but you're monster has to defend on your next move"

"You would think"

"Huh"gasped T.K.

"I play The option card yellow spiral, it allows me to change my Digimon's type to yellow, which means Grappler, with his Shark bite attack that does 340, will crush your mediocre 250 defence"

Gelge:200

"I play SnowAgumon, and also play the power Option Counter attack, it doubles his attack when facing a Digimon of a higher level, now destroy Grapplermon"

T.K:400

"That won't last long, I play Gobmon, and his attack Terror strike(280) is enough to wipe out SnowAgumon"

Gelge:300

"This card has to defend on it's first turn, so he won't be able to get points"thought T.K.

"I play Palmon, who's defending"

"Some diffrence, I play another Digivolution card to Digivolve Gobmon, into Tankmon, and I'll end my turn there"

"Patamon, he can fly which will at least save me for a little bit"thought T.K.

"I play Patamon and use his ability to fly, keeping him out of your reach"

"Desperate, because now Palmon's attacking"

"WHAT"gasped T.K. He looked down.

"He's right, that's why he waited"thought T.K.

"Now I play Goldmon, destroy Palmon with Golden darts"

Gelge:400

"He's equal with T.K"thought the helpless Kari, who could do nothing but watch.

"Man, these ropes are crushing me, and this gag is giving me hairballs"she thought.

"Next, I play Fly trap, your Digimon can't fly now, now I play Ultimate Digivolution to Digivolve Grapplermon into Griphorestmon, an ultimate, now wipe out Patamon"

Gelge:500

"T.K's in trouble"
