Chapter 2
Entering the digital world.
Yuka awoke to see himself in a hospital ward. It was empty. He got up from the bed and decided to walk out the room. But just before he could do so, a kid walked through the door into the ward. "Good, you're up, follow me." Yuka did so.
Outside the ward lay a huge city centre complete with fountains and shops. He still followed the kid into a building. They walk silently down a corridor and enter a room, the kid pulled out a tablet computer and says "fill it in." Yuka did so. The form on the tablet lay as follows:
Name: Yuka Keljinski
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Preference out of light and dark: Dark
Yuka finished the form and gives the tablet back to the kid, the kid signalled for him to follow, the entered another room. The kid slotted the tablet into the wall. An older teenager walked in to the room. "Well, we have another Tamer, as a final part of this, choose your Digimon. Three digimon lay in front of him, Tsunomon, Tokomon and Moonmon. Yuka points to Moonmon and the teen says "Congrats! You're now Moonmon's new Tamer!" Yuka seemed slightly confused, but was slowly getting there. "You need these." The teen threw a package at Yuka, he caught it and opened it to find a kind of device with a neckstrap and an ID card. "Digimon are friend to their Tamers, I recommended you bond with Moonmon whilst you can. Give her a friend, and you shall receive one. Now, go and roam around, but here's a map in case you get lost." Yuka looked at his map and nodded. The teen crouched to Moonmon and said "look after him Moonmon, you two are partners." Moonmon smiled, and bounced over to Yuka. They turned and exited the building.
When they left, Moonmon looked up at Yuka. " So, Moonmon..." Yuka was so pumped full of questions he didn't know where to start. "What are you?" He asked.
"Why I'm a digital monster, silly! But we shorten it to Digimon." Moonmon replied in a voice like a four year old girl.
"Where are we?" He continued.
"We're in the central hub, where all Tamers and Digimon alike can interact in a safe way."
"What do you mean by safe?"
"Well... It's dangerous outside the hub."
"What are the Tamers?"
"Tamers are humans who are our owners in a way."
"So we own you?"
"Oh of course not! It's more a... Unconditional friendship."
"What are these?" Yuka asked holding up the device.
"That's a digivice, it's like our home, but we don't like it in there much."
"Alright, final question for now, how many Tamers and Digimon are there?"
"There's a hundred thousand Tamers and an almost infinite amount of Digimon."
"OK then, let's go to our house." Yuka said.
"You mean... You don't mind sharing?"
"Not at all." Moonmon was so happy by Yuka's reaction, she got a little tearful. "Come on then, lead the way." Yuka said.
