This story takes place in our world, where Digimon seasons 1-5 are all just a TV show/ card game. This is a story of me, Ian, and how I became a member of the DNG. Digimon, Next Generation. Please note, I do not own the name Digimon or anything under that name or associated with it other then this fan-fiction.

Book One: Beginners Guide to Digimon.

Chapter One: Welcome to the Data Squad.

I think I became hooked on Digimon at the age of seven and haven't liked anything more TV wise. I always dreamed of being something better then a wrestler/gamer but then again, I'm from Cleveland and therefore am destined for anything better. Little did I know how right I was.

My Friends wouldn't believe that I was a Digimon expert because I never told them. It's kind of a secret love I have you know? Any way my story begins at the library, it was roughly 68 ĚŠ and the sun was beating down on me through the window as I sat at one of the computers. I go to my local library strictly so that I can use their free broadband instead of paying for my own. I was watching episodes of Digimon on YouTube and downloading them onto my flash drive from a fan site. My library has a timing system that allows you to reserve a computer and in 3 to 10 minutes someone gets kicked off their computer and you get it. After watching YouTube I decided to look on Google for any Digimon ads and such when I came across an interesting website called . I clicked it and all that popped up was a question that stated "What is your favorite color?" to which I answered "Orange." then it asked "What is the best Digimon?" again obvious "Agumon." Then came the freaky part, the screen started flashing red over and over again and my flash drive started sparking on me. I yanked it out as fast as I could and then hit the power button on the computer to shut it down before anyone could notice.

I snuck away into a deserted part of the library in order to asses the situation. "Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap what am I going to do!" I looked down and saw my flash drive's logo "Transcend" change into "Digimon", the lid for it popped right off and out of the flash drive came the one thing I hoped, and thought never, would happen to me. A Koromon sat where a beam of light once lay. It looked up at me and said "Welcome to the Data squad." I fainted, plain and simple.

I awoke several minuets later and rose to my feet. I looked around and the Koromon was nowhere to be seen. I thought it was a dream at first until I looked back at my flash drive at me feet. It still said "Digimon."
