Disclaimer: I don't own digimon or Pokemon.

Notes: Eep, putting two things in the disclaimer. This is gonna be weird. I seriously know the title sucks, and if anyone wants to e-mail me with another one, go right ahead. I'll give you credit for it too.

                     *****Chapter One*****

"Which one is it Tai?" Sora frantically asked.

"It's…" Tai looked at the cards he held. "I don't know"

"Every second counts. Come on!" yelled Matt.

"I'm trying to decide! Hold on!" the brunette retaliated. He closed his eyes and slammed down a card. The gate slowly opened.

"Great! Let's go" TK smiled and ran towards the gate. They closely followed. As they jumped into the gate, five shadowy gargoyles smiled devilishly. Snickers escaped their lips.

--------

A young girl with dirty blonde hair sat on a large rock. She smiled as she watched her Pokemon splash in the water.

"Jem, go play" she called to a Persian. The beautiful digimon looked up from its grassy bed and shook her head. It seemed to understand the girl. She rolled her light green eyes and directed them at the once calm river. 'Must be nice being out of those Pokeballs' she thought. Two water Pokemon, two grass Pokemon, and an Eevee were playfully diving in and out of the water. Suddenly, a gust of wind caught her attention. Persian jumped up and stealthily raced over to the rock. It jumped onto it, and the girl fell off.

"This is gonna hurt!" bellowed a boy around her age as he hurtled towards the ground. A gigantic thud surrounded him as he collided with it. "Aw crap… hey Agumon? AGUMON" he yelled, unsure where his partner landed. He scanned his surroundings. The brunette seemed to be in middle of a grassy meadow. A river ran by him, and he saw some animals.

"Hey" he greeted. Each Pokemon tilted their head. Tai shakily stood up and ran towards them. He cautiously spoke. "My name is Tai. Are we on earth?"

"Psy?" questioned the Psyduck.

"Uh… ok?" Tai raised an eyebrow.

"Help!" a loud yell interrupted the silence.

"Huh?" the tan boy saw a sparkle coming from behind a rock, then a blue sneaker. "What the?" he ran over to the rock and jumped on. Looking down, his chocolate orbs saw a girl around his age dangling over a little waterfall, crabs waiting at the bottom. The girl looked up and saw him.

"A Little help here" she cried.

"Oh, sorry" he got on his knees and grabbed her hands. He started pulling her up, when one hand slipped. She let out a muffled scream. "Hold on… one. Two. Three!" he pulled as hard as he could. His effort paid off. Both of they few off the rock onto the grass covered ground. The children took deep breaths. The blonde turned towards the Digidestined.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" she yelled, throwing her arm around him. Tai stiffened. The younger girl laughed. "You aren't much of a people person, are you?"

"Well, ya. I mean! I am, but… well" he stuttered.

"I'm Nicole Smith. Uh… call me Ditz"

"Ditz?" Tai asked.

"Ya. It's a nickname. What's your name?"

"Taichi Yagami. You can call me Tai"

"Ok" she grinned.

"Do you know where we are?"

"Ya" she snapped her fingers. Her Persian ran over to a mini pink backpack, picked it up, and carried it to her. She thanked him and pulled out a map. "We are… here" she pointed to a place in-between Pallet Town, and a large bridge. In the middle of nowhere.

"How'd you get here?" Tai asked in shock.

"Probably the same way you did" she answered.

"Fall from the sky?"

"Huh?"

"Nevermind"

"Ok…" she stood up and took out five round objects. "Ok guys, time to go. We have to get to Fuchsia City before Monday" she yelled. A yellow light came from the balls and captured each Pokemon besides the Persian.

"How'd you do that?" Tai questioned, astonished.

"You're new at this, aren't you? What do you want to be anyway?"

"What?"

"Do you wanna be a Pokemon Master, Professor, Trainer, what?!" she was started to get annoyed.

"What's a Pokemon?"

"What's a Pokemon?! I don't have time for games, I have gotta get to Fuchsia City" the skinny eleven year old walked away with her loyal Persian at her side.

"Wait! I'm serious. Please tell me" Tai caught up with her. She continued walking.

"A Pokemon is a… Pokemon. At the age of ten, kids can go off on our own and capture as many as we can. I have about 50 back at the Lab in Pallet Town. I'm trying to become a Pokemon Master. To become one, I have to capture all 150 Pokemon and train them into the #1 fighting team in the world"

"So… Pokemon are like Digimon. Animals."

"Digimon?"

"Oh nevermind" Tai and Ditz said in unison. They were silent for a moment.

"Are you going to follow me or something?" the girl asked as she saw her Persian eyeing Tai.

"I don't know. I need to find my friends" Tai answered.

"What happened to them?"

"We got separated"

"Well duh"

"All you need to know is that," Tai muttered.

"Fine, fine" Ditz sighed. 'No use fighting him. He's as stubborn as my little brother'

--------

"The Pokemon World" Tai whispered to himself. "This has to be a dream" His chocolate colored eyes looked around. The stars above him formed unknown constellations. Sora used to like pointing them out to the group at night. A babbling brook sat next to him. Ditz and her Persian had fallen asleep right away. He normally would have too. But being in a different world, with a stranger… there was something quiet unsettling about that. He couldn't help but look longingly into the forest, wondering where his friends were. 'Are they safe? Am I safe?' he wondered. Tai closed his eyes again as Jem softly purred. It seemed to be a lullaby. "Night Ditz"

--------

"What's that?" Tai took interest in little insect.

"A Weedle" Ditz answered.

"That?"

"A Metapod"

"That?"

"A… tree…"

"Cool!" Tai exclaimed.

"You're strange" Ditz laughed.

"Thanks"  Tai examined his surrounding some more.

"Uh-huh. What's that?" Ditz asked, sounding like Tai. The auburn haired boy looked at his pants.

"It's a digivice. Hey! Are there any computers around here?"

"Here?" Ditz laughed at the thought as she looked at the forest surrounding them. "What's a digivice?"

"A device that takes me to another world"

"Ok… I think we're almost at the bridge. I know this place" she pointed to a large willow. It's vines draped to the floor and brushed against the pond below. A rainbow of flowers circled the serene pond. A cliff stood behind it.

"Cool" Tai watched the muddy ground. His sneakers were starting to sink into it. They passed the water and got to the head of the cliff. "Where to sherlock?"

"Up" Ditz said in a 'duh' voice.

"What?" Tai questioned in disbelief.

"Up!" she sighed.

"What the? Girls aren't suppose to want to do this stuff!" Tai exclaimed.

"Well, I'm not just any girl" she laughed and shaded her eyes from the sun. The rocky cliff must have been at least five stories high. "Let's go city boy"

Tai screamed in frustration as she started climbing. "How do I do this?"

Ditz sighed and jumped down.

"You find a sturdy place to put your foot and pull yourself up by another rock… hopefully it doesn't break…" she added the last part quietly.

"WHAT?!" Tai screamed.

"Don't yell so loud! You'll scare the Pokemon!" Tai groaned as Ditz started climbing up the cliff. "One wrong move and I'll pull out my Pokemon to catch you. Kay?" Tai sighed in defeat and stuck his foot inside a small hole. He looked around for a rock to pull himself up. "Oh… one more thing"

"What?"

"Never, no matter what, never look down"

"Whatever" Tai muttered under his breath. He put his hand on a rock and pulled himself up. As he reached two stories, his arms started getting amazingly tired. His hand slipped. "Ditz!"

"Hold on Tai" Ditz called. She pulled out a pokeball and threw it into the top of the cliff. A Bulbasaur flew out of it and grabbed Tai with its strong vines. He placed the boy next to it and pulled the mustard haired girl up also.

"Why didn't you do that in the first place?!" Tai asked as he caught his breath.

"Because I can't through five stories" she answered as she put the Bulbasaur back into its ball. Tai fell back onto the soft landing.

"We are almost there, right?"

"That's what I said earlier"

"Good!" Tai watched Ditz get up and swing her little backpack over her shoulder.

"Let's go" Tai pinched his arm.

"I'm awake" he told himself.

"Let's goooo…"

"How does she have an endless supply of energy… Matt said I was bad" He said to Jem who had just been let out of her pokeball. The Persian tilted its head. Tai laughed and ruffled the feline's hair.

--------

Tai stood inside of a bright white hospital waiting room. Ditz had just battled at the Fuchsia City gym and had won. She brought the Pokemon back to the hospital to heal the Pokemon's wounds. She had defeated the last poison Pokemon with a Charizard. A young adult with light red hair- almost pink- smiled and called out.

"Nicole Smith? Your Pokemon are ready" the blonde beside him jumped up and walked calmly over to the counter. She was handed six small objects.

"Ditz?" came a new voice. Ditz turned and saw a new girl. She had dirty blonde hair that was tied behind her head. She wore jeans with a shirt that looked a lot like Matt's.

"Hi Nicole!" Tai's companion smile. Tai wasn't really paying attention to the new girl though, he was looking at the boy behind her. He was short with burgundy colored hair. Izzy Izumi stared, shocked, right back at him.

Hi. I'm trying not to make Ditz Mary-Sue. I know the name REALLY is, but I read the book "A Mother's Gift" by Britney and Lynn Spears and thought it's a cool nickname. Next chapter I'll try and writer her better.
