Wild Digidestined

Chapter 1

Ranma's new friend: Puttimon

Ranma Saotome was not having a good day. Ryouga, Mousse, and Kuno had attacked him as a group, and his fiancées had gotten caught up as well, until Akane had punted him into LEO after he'd gotten Ryouga with a Moko Takabisha. He sighed as he lay back on the roof of the Tendo home 'I wish I was part of something bigger then this, constantly being blamed for everything, being attacked all the time, and being treated like a first prize trophy, It's just to much!' he groaned quietly, thanking whoever was listening that the Tendo's and his father were still out of the house, so he had a few minutes of silence.

One of the few thoughts he had that were not focused around his problems was of the weird phenomenon that the world was experiencing. Tropical places were turning into desert; regions were being flooded in brown water, and hot cities had turned chilly in the middle of summer! Even the smartest minds in the world didn't know what was happening.

All of a sudden, a mysterious glow started shining from the window of Nabiki's room. Looking in, he saw the light emanating from the computer on her desk. Quickly he opened the window and walked over to it. Looking at the screen, he was surprised to see a message, addressed to him, on the screen.

Ranma quickly read it out loud "Dear Ranma Saotome, if you truly want to make a difference, and make something of your life, then press your hand on the screen. Then, hold the item that appears from it in your hand and focus your chi into it. Then your true destiny will take shape." Shrugging, Ranma put his hand on the screen, and his eyes widened when it started glowing again, and then a small, circular object (Season 1 digivice) seemed to emerge from it to land on the desk.

Picking it up, Ranma sighed "Well this is small potatoes compared to my life's usual weirdness, so why not?" and began focusing his chi into the strange digital device. The small octagonal device began to emit a light from its screen and giving off a high pitched noise. Ranma, now thoroughly unnerved, was about to put it down when the device seemed to erupt in a flash of light, which quickly engulfed him.

When Ranma could see again he knew automatically that he was not in Japan anymore. He also realized that he was a lot smaller. Looking around, Ranma realized that he was right next to a lake. Looking into the waters, Ranma nearly had a breakdown.

"I'm 11 again!" Ranma cried out, falling onto his butt.

"Again? You mean you can be like this more then once?" A voice next to him said

"No! It's not normally, but…" Then Ranma turned and looked down, and spotted the speaker. It was a small white ball with a tiny white horn and two yellowish angel wings on its back.

Ranma's response was expected "Who or what are you?"

The creature smiled brightly "I'm Puttimon, and I've been waiting here in the digital world here for you for a long time Ranma!"

Ranma blinked "Digital world?"

Puttimon nodded "Yep! And I'm a digital monster or Digimon for short."

Ranma sighed "this is weird, even by my standards!" Then stood up. "Well, come on then Puttimon, let's go look around. And see what we can" Ranma was cut off when a male voice cried out in the distance. Without even thinking, both human and Digimon raced towards the sound, quickly cutting through the jungle, leaping over fallen logs and running headlong into any danger.

Or in this case, into someone else "Oww!" Ranma said, rubbing his head. Looking up, he saw a pretty brown haired girl with a pink hat sitting on her rear as well rubbing her head through the hat. Automatically his self preservation instincts against angry women and girls. "I'm sorry; I wasn't looking where I was going. Here let me help you up."

The girl accepted his help gratefully "its okay, I'm not hurt, you okay Tanemon?" Ranma looked down to see a small green leafed digimon by the girl's side.

"I'm okay Mimi, the digimon with the boy jumped over me." The little green plant creature identified as Tanemon spoke.

Ranma raised an eyebrow "there sure are a lot of you Digimon around aren't there?"

Tanemon nodded happily "Yep! No matter where in the digiworld you are, there's bound to be at least one of us nearby."

Ranma nodded as Puttimon jumped up on his shoulder. Turning his attention back to Mimi, he asked "how did you get here anyway? I got transported here when this strange gizmo came out of a computer where I live."

Mimi started; she'd been eyeing the muscled body before her. Blushing at being distracted like that, Mimi responded "me and my friends were at a summer camp when we were sucked in through a portal. When I woke up, I found Tanemon standing next to me."

Ranma nodded, just as he expected, she'd been brought here by a strange set of circumstances. His thoughts were derailed when a loud roar came from behind him. Turning his head, what he saw was the biggest frigging bug he'd ever seen!

Mimi was equally as shocked "What is that!"

Puttimon looked frightened "Its Kuwagamon! A nasty bug type digimon. This bug is one bad digimon, even on his good days!"

Ranma knew there was only one option here. He was 11 again, with a non combatant and two small digimon against a digimon that was obviously bigger and stronger. Fighting was not gonna do anything except get them eaten. Therefore their only chance was to "Run for it!" Ranma called, putting Tanemon on his other shoulder and picking up Mimi before bolting like a racehorse from the starting gate, an angry Kuwagamon in pursuit. Ranma didn't stop until it seemed like they'd outrun the overgrown beetle, at which point he put Mimi and Tanemon down.

Then a voice called out "Hey Mimi!" a group of kids all came out of the bushes, each with their own little digimon beside them. When the group met up with them introductions were quickly passed around. The boy with the blue shirt and spiky brown hair was Tai, the Blond in green was called Matt, the girl in the round helmet with the reddish orange hair was Sora, the red headed boy in orange was Izzy, the blue headed boy in glasses was Joe, and the little kid with the green hat was called Takeru, but everyone called him T.K. Their digimon partners were, in order, Koromon, Tsunomon, Yokomon, Motimon, Bukamon, and Tokomon. Further talking was stalled when a familiar roar punctured the air. Turning, they all saw Kuwagamon bearing down on them.

Ranma groaned "Didn't we lose this overgrown pest?"

"Apparently not!" Mimi said. As one the entire gang turned and ran, Kuwagamon following in the air, until they came to a cliff face.

Matt's summary was very telling of their situation "Anyone bring a helicopter?" he asked sarcastically.

They all turned when Kuwagamon landed with a thud on the ground, cutting off any possible escape back into the forest. Ranma growled quietly. "No way down, and no way past that disgusting insect. This looks very bad."

"You said it" Tai agreed.

Kuwagamon began to stomp forward and all the digimon jumped in front of their partners. Koromon stared up at Kuwagamon "We won't let you hurt our friends, no way!" Similar shouts echoed from the other digimon, as they charged forward, to the horror of their partners.

"Wait, Don't!"

"Stop Tsunomon!"

"Don't do it!"

"Be careful Tanemon!"

"Tokomon!"

"Come Back!"

"It's too dangerous!"

"Come Back Motimon!"

"Puttimon no!"

Then something strange happened. The digivices with each destined started to glow and eight beams of light shot down from the heavens and struck the eight tiny digimon.

"Koromon"

"Yokomon"

"Tsunomon"

"Bukamon"

"Motimon"

"Tanemon"

"Tokomon"

"Puttimon"

"DIGIVOLE TO……."

"Agumon"

"Biyomon"

"Gabumon"

"Gomamon"

"Tentomon"

"Palmon"

"Patamon"

"Kudamon"

Standing where the little digimon had been was now an orange dinosaur, a strange horned creature wearing a blue fur cloak, a walking plant, a pink bird, a striped seal, what looked like a gopher with wings for ears, a large red bug, and a cross between a fox and a snake. As one the creatures charged Kuwagamon, who tried to take to the air. Tried being the key word.

"Poison Ivy!" Palmon yelled out as her vine like fingers stretched out and wrapped around Kuwagamon's leg, holding him down.

"Boom Bubble!" Patamon's attack struck Kuwagamon on the side of the head, causing him to cry out.

"Super Shocker!" Tentomon went next, launching a blast of electricity from his wings into Kuwagamon's forehead, causing him to land shakily. Gomamon was happy to unbalance him further by rolling and knocking one of his feet out from under him.

Then Agumon and Kudamon stepped forward.

"Pepper Breathe!"

"Holy Flame!"

The two fireballs smashed into Kuwagamon, who roared in pain, and then Biyomon and Gabumon stepped up.

"Spiral Twister!"

"Blue Blaster!"

Their attacks added to Kuwagamon's damage, and set his head ablaze. Agumon then yelled out "All together now! And he, Kudamon, Tentomon, Biyomon, and Gabumon launched there attacks all at once, smashing into Kuwagamon and knocking him over.

The humans, even Ranma, were amazed. Their new friends had transformed, and kicked that beetles butt! They ran over to their new friends to congratulate them when Kuwagamon got up again!

Ranma grit his teeth "Will anything stop this thing?"

Kuwagamon didn't attack this time; instead, he smashed his pincers into the ground, causing the entire cliff face to break off! All the digidestined could do was cry out as they started to fall.

Next time: The digidestined find themselves on a beach, and facing a new foe! Find out next time on Wild Digidestined: The birth of Greymon!

C: Ah, another childhood fantasy has taken shape here. Ranma is now a digidestined, and will be until the end of season two. This'll be one of my funniest works yet. I'll have action, drama, comedy, even a little romance. I won't say who the pairings are yet, but this little ancient puzzle (which the digidestined will find on a cave wall during the myotismon saga) will give you a small hint.

"Sincerity reveals this final truth

reveals it to the light.

The two join with love

and together, merge with chaos"

Well, can you guess who Ranma will be paired with by the end of season 2? Send in your answers in your responses, and if you guess right, I will respond and tell you. Five lucky guessers will then be allowed to pick a favorite digimon to appear in a later chapter (I'll stick to the shows guidelines but randomly deviate for Ranma's involvement.) See ya!
