Hey this is my first story, I haven't written anything in quite a while so I decided to start writing again with Digimon. I don't own any Digimon in this story.

A large black-and-white pixelated monster launched an attack over the screen. The attack followed through onto the next screen, showing a much smaller creature being struck by the attack. "Aha, Skullgreymon destroyed your Metalmamemon. You should have trained your Digimon better, dude," The victorious friend said to the other.

"I can still win other battles. Hey Rocky, you battle me now," The owner of the Metalmamemon said to their friend standing on the side of them.

"No thanks, I left my V-Pet at home by accident. Plus, my Digimon turned back into an egg this morning. I'll just be watching battles for now," Rocky said. He was sixteen years old, and a little below average height. Rocky wore a white t-shirt, with blue on the top of the shoulders and his sides, and jeans, with a blue bandana tied to his left leg. Two black gloves with white fingertips were on his hand. He had light brown hair, with small hints of blond, and he had blue eyes. The boy also had prominent spiky hair, and on top he wore goggles which were given to him by his older brother.

Rocky and a few of his friends battled with their V-Pets that day while wandering around their mall in Mega City that day. Having left his device at home, he let his friends take all the glory in winning the matches that were battled. But this was fine by him; Rocky didn't like to be the center of attention. Most of his friends all had ultimate levels, however, Rocky wasn't as good as everyone else at raising Digital Monsters. As the sky got darker, and changed to midnight blue, they all decided to head home for the day. "All right I'll see all you guys tomorrow," Rocky said, waving to his friends.

He was near his house so the trip was only a few minutes walking, and he had his key in his hand by the time he approached his door. As he walked inside, Rocky grabbed something to drink and headed up to his room. Inside his room, he noticed a strange light. Curious, Rocky walked over to discover that it was just his V-Pet. Rocky held it in his hand and then lay on his bed, looking up. He held the blue and white V-Pet in front of his face, and noticed something odd. Instead of the usual pixelated design, the egg which he had seen in the morning was an actual detailed design. As he looked at it, it became slightly 3-D and he became extremely confused. What? How is this possible? Maybe I have an upgraded version of the V-Pet? Or is this a glitch? Hm… Rocky thought. Not fully understanding what was happening, or if he was just seeing things because he was tired, Rocky fell asleep.

The next morning, Rocky awoke to find sitting on top of his V-Pet, a white egg with blue stripes, about the size of his head. He immediately walked over to it, staring in amazement. Is this real? Digimon aren't real, there's no way that this could be a real Digi-egg… Is someone playing a joke on me? He thought. Having no idea what to do, Rocky placed his hand on the mysterious egg. I can just feel that something is in here. I know it. Then he checked his V-Pet, and the normal pixelated data screen of his original egg was there. Unsure of what to do next, and excited that he might have a real Digimon, he got dressed, found a draw-string bag, placed the egg inside, and decided to leave his house, hoping to find some answers. This doesn't feel safe for the egg, but I have nothing better, and I can't just walk around with a random giant egg… Nothing to do but go into town. Rocky thought.

"Elie, there's a signal in this town, it appeared last night," informed a voice from a device.

"Really? Here? All righty, thanks!" smiled the sixteen year old girl named Elie. She wore a purple sleeveless shirt with a picture of a sea anchor on the front, and short shorts, with a purple V-Pet hanging from her side. She had green eyes and brown hair, and a very cheerful face. She was a little shorter than average height and wore a purple beanie hat on her head.

Elie walked around, following the signal that the voice had told her. She searched in multiple stores and areas, studying everyone that she passed by. Next she wandered into a nearby clothing store, where she noticed a boy with a slightly puzzled face walking around. "That boy over there, there's the signal!" the voice shouted to Elie.

She approached the teenager with bright smile on her face, trying to make a nice impression. "Hey there! Haven't seen you around in Mega City before. Are you new here or something?" She asked.

The boy looked at her nervously. "Me?... No I've always lived here, it's just I'm kind of quiet and a little shy," he said.

"Oh…. Well that's okay! Everyone can be shy!" She friendlily said with a smile. Then she took notice of his draw-string bag. "So, what's in the bag you got there?"

"This? Oh, this is just some random stuff I need for the day."

"Really? What kind of stuff?" Curiously asked the girl.

"You know… Like guy stuff." He answered, awkwardly.

"I see… So anyway, my name's Elie. Elie Power."

"I'm Rocky Light," replied Rocky, seeming to have warmed up to the conversation now that they've been talking.

The two of them talked for a little while. Rocky seemed interested in the girl, and Elie seemed to feel the same way about him. Then Rocky noticed the device hanging from Elie's side. "You have a V-Pet?" he asked.

She hesitated a little at first to answer. "Well, yes I do. Check it out," she said, and flashed the device in front of Rocky, but too quickly for him to actually see what was on the screen.

Rocky reached into his pocket, checked the screen at first to make sure nothing unusual was there, and showed it to Elie. "Me too. Mine's an egg right now. I'm hoping it'll hatch in maybe an hour or two," he said, with two meanings.

"Really? That's pretty cool," she replied. The signal that she had picked up earlier had no doubt been coming from this boy. She tried studying him while they talked. He seemed nice enough, and there was nothing too unusual about him. Still, she felt like there was a hidden meaning behind the bag that he had. Elie looked down at her V-Pet, nodded, and then looked back up. "Hey, Rocky, I have to get going right now. But give your number, I'm sure there's other things that we can talk about."

"Sure thing, Elie," he said, as he told his number to the girl.

"Well, I'll see you later!" she exclaimed. Elie walked back to her house from there. She looked into her V-Pet. "So what do you think? I think he's nice. Couldn't harm anybody. But you definitely said that there was signal coming from him, right? His V-Pet seemed normal, though. Maybe he really does only have an egg, like he said?" she asked her device.

"I'm not sure. We can't be too careful though. We'll just talk to him next time," said the voice from her V-Pet.

Rocky walked back inside his house and went up to him room, placing the bag carefully on his bed. "This has been a great day!" he exclaimed. "A got what a think may be a real Digimon, and I met a really cute girl. I wonder when my egg will hatch, if ever. What should I do?"

He then was trying to think of different ideas. But the only thing that he could think of was to rub the egg. So Rocky picked up the egg, held it in his arms, and began to rub it softly. Just then the egg began to glow. He put it down, covered his eyes, and backed away from the bright white light that nearly blinded him. When he put his hands down and looked at the bed, a small red creature with three tiny horns on its head was looking right at him. Rocky became overjoyed with excitement. "I know what that is! It's a… Punimon! Fresh Digimon from the V-Pet series version 2! And I have a real one!" he yelled. Rocky looked at it intensely. "So, can you talk or something?" he asked.

The Punimon just looked at him for a few seconds. It sounded like it was attempting to say something, but the words weren't able to leave its mouth properly. Rocky looked at him and said, "Oh well, you're still a Fresh Digimon, you probably can't speak until the next level. But you can understand me, right?"

Punimon made an approving, excited noise that let Rocky know it understood him. "This is great," Rocky said. "I have my very own Digimon! I should be careful about you though. You're small enough to pass as stuffed animal in public. Although I am sixteen… Oh well! I'm gonna raise you to be the best ultimate any Digimon ever was!"

And with that, the two partners instantly bonded and became great friends, human and Digimon. Looking back at his V-Pet, Rocky noticed that the screen now showed a Punimon. So my V-Pet is like my digital device that has the status of my Digimon. I wonder what else it could do. He thought. Rocky wondered when the next time he would see Elie again, and what Digimon his Punimon would become soon.

So the next chapter should be up soon, I'm hoping this story will progress to be great. Thanks for reading :D
