The Birth of Greymon
I watched with a worried expression from the bushes as everyone (minus Toph) fell from the cliff. I saw Patamon, Tentomon, and Biyomon try to fly with Aang, Moose, and Katara, but it was too much weight and they fell along with them. Then I saw Palmon try to grab the edge of the cliff but part of the cliff broke off instead. When Sokka and Gomamon hit the water I heard Gomamon yell, "Marching Fishes!" and a huge hoard of fish of different colors gather to form a large fish boat. Everyone landed safely on the fish boat and I let out a sigh.
'Phew! That was close.' I thought to myself. 'Now all I need to do is head to the place where they should end up.' I began my trek through the bushes.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'I'm riding a boat made of fish. This defiantly falls under some of the strangest things that have happened to me. And that's saying something since I am the Avatar' I thought.
Next thing I know Ryoga calls out, "Here he comes!" I turned to see Kuwagamon and a big chunk of the cliff drop into the river. Fortunately I did not see Toph go down as well since she didn't know how to swim and it would have probably been too dangerous to try to save her…again. But this did have some negative side-effects. The splash combined by both Kuwagamon and the cliff made a huge wave.
"Go!" I heard Gomamon call out and our fish boat move faster, but the wave still hit us and it was a bumpy ride downriver.
We ended up on the shore eventually and I heard Luffy say, "I knew we'd all be alright." I couldn't help but stare at him. I mean I'm all for optimism but even I have my limits.
"Guys, we're not all alright. Toph is still WAY back there by herself, doesn't know what happened to us, AND can't earthbend. I don't call that alright." I said with a bit of exasperation.
"We would have to hike all the way back there to tell her were fine and meet her." Katara said.
"That would be a waste of time." Moose said
"Are you saying we should just leave her?" I said angrily. How dare he suggest that! Toph is my friend and I don't leave friends behind.
"I have a suggestion." I heard Tentomon say. I turned to look at him. "Why don't I just fly back and tell her we're ok and lead her over here? It will be a lot faster and I can cover more ground that way."
"That's sound like a wonderful idea." Robin said.
"Great! Is it all right?" Tentomon gestured to Moose.
"Uhhh, sure. You go do what you need to do."
"Good. I'll be back as soon as I can." Tentomon said flying away.
After he left Sokka asked, "So, what was up with those fish?"
"Oh, those fish are good friends of mine and I just asked them for a lift." Gomamon said.
"Those fish are your friends?" Luffy asked.
"Yeah."
I saw Luffy prepare another question, but Sokka beat him to it, "Does that mean we can't eat them?"
"Sokka!" Katara and I yelled. Sometimes I couldn't believe the stuff that came out of his mouth.
"Hey, I was just asking." Sokka replied
"No." Gomamon said sternly, "You can't eat them."
"Oh, sorry…uhhh…I guess it's not Bukamon is it?" Sokka asked.
Gomamon shook his head, "Gomamon now."
I turned to what used to be Tokomon, "I guess your not Tokomon anymore are you?"
"No, now I'm Patamon." he replied.
"It's all because we digivolved." Agumon said.
"You mean you evolved?" Ukyo asked.
"No, we Digivolved." Agumon said putting emphasis on the last word.
"Okay." Ukyo said slowly.
"Whether it's evolving or digivolving, it seems that they reached their next level and became more powerful." Robin stated.
"That's right." Biyomon said. "I digivolved from Yokomon to Biyomon."
"First I was Tsunomon, then Gabumon."
"And I changed from Tanemon to Palmon."
"And me, I was Koromon. I digivoled to Agumon."
"So are you still Digimon?" Zuko asked.
"Yes, but I needed your help."
"My help?"
"Yes, you see digivolving is a very difficult process. In order to be successful I had to share your energy."
"Okay, enough talking." I heard Zoro say. "We should do something productive with our time."
"But what can we do?" Katara asked.
"I think we should head out of these woods." Sakura suggested. "There are just too many places we could be ambushed from."
"The beach…" Zuko muttered.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"That's right!" Ranma spoke out. "Earlier when Zuko, Ryoga and I went to higher ground to get a look around we saw the ocean nearby."
Ryoga finished by saying, "If we follow this river we should reach the beach in no time."
"That's a good idea and all but we still have to wait for Toph and Tentomon." I stated. I mean, Tentomon didn't even know we were going to move.
"That's a simple fix." Zoro said pulling out his sword. "Your friend can fell stuff in the ground right?" I nodded. "Then this should work." he said carving an arrow on the ground with his sword.
I got to admit, it was a good idea and Zoro was already walking, but there was one problem. The arrow was pointing and Zoro was walking in the complete opposite direction where the river was flowing. I sweat dropped.
"That's a great idea!" Ryoga exclaimed following Zoro. Everyone else face vaulted. Those two…I had no idea who had the worse sense of direction.
"Uhhh, guys?" Naruto started, "We should be going THAT way." he said pointing.
They paused, both said, "Right!" turned full circle, and kept right on walking. The rest of us shrugged and followed.
"Yeah right." Naruto said sarcastically. He paused to erase the first arrow and drew another one with a kunai knife.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Earlier
"Guys!" I screamed down after I made sure the rest of the cliff was not going to take me down with it. I felt a chunk of the cliff and the big bug they called Kuwagamon fall in after them. I didn't hear Kuwagamon's wings buzz as if he was flying away so I can assume that he fell in the river. I just hope that he didn't fall on anyone.
"Is anyone down there?" I yelled. I just wanted someone to answer me to tell me that they were all alright.
'Maybe…' I thought, 'maybe they really did di…' No! I refused to believe that. They were stronger than that. They could have…they could have…
I sat down and started thinking for a while. What could they do? When we were trying to fight Kuwagamon I couldn't earthbend. I could still see with earthbending but that was it and even my field of vision was shortened. I had noticed everyone else had similar problems.
'Guillermo!' I thought angrily. 'This is his fault! I am soooo going to kill him when I get my hands on him!' I started to realize the situation I was in. We were all so weak. 'Maybe they really did all…'
"Hello there." said a voice next to me. I nearly jumped out of my skin. I was thinking so deeply I didn't notice the faint buzzing of wings.
"Whoa!" I yelled. "Don't sneak up on me like that!" I can't believe he caught me by surprise like that.
"What do you mean I was sneaking up on you? I was flying towards you the whole time. I even waved. I thought you were ignoring me."
"Well, I couldn't see you and what Digimon are you?"
"I'm Tentomon and what do you mean you couldn't see me? I was right in front of you the whole time."
"I mean I'm blind." I said emphasizing by waving my hand in front of my eyes. "Is everyone else okay? I felt part of the cliff and Kuwagamon fall in after you guys."
"Oh sure. We're all fine. They splash actually created a wave that carried us a ways down river and I volunteered to come tell you what happened. If your blind how can you tell where everything is?"
"I can feel where things are if they are on the ground." I said with a sigh. I can't remember how many times I've explained this. "I feel the vibrations in the earth when things move which is why I couldn't seen you in the air."
"Really? That's very interesting. I never would have thought you would be capable of that." All this talk was getting us nowhere. I found out the others were okay and that's what mattes.
"Shouldn't we be getting to the others now?" I asked impatiently.
"Oh right, okay. Let's go." I could hear him buzzing away.
"Wait." I said. "If your going to be flying the whole way, at least give a shout in the direction every once in a while."
"Alright." I decided to start jogging so I could catch up to the others quicker.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'Right,' I thought to myself, 'there are those phone booths. This is the best spot to wait for them.' I got a large towel from my Warp and laid it in the sand. I lie down, put my earphones on and turned on my black iPod.
'This is sort of relaxing.' I thought. 'This warm sun is nothing like the blazing heat I'm used to.' yawn 'I feel so relaxed.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We decided to slow our walking to let Toph and Tentomon have a chance to catch up. Some of us didn't mind.
"These trees are beautiful." I heard Katara say.
"Yes they are." Robin added. "The plant life here seems very lush"
"The flowers stand out quite nicely." Sakura said. I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe they were having that conversation.
"Digimon…I wonder who came up with that name?" Ukyo asked. I could tell she was still trying to figure out the whole Digimon/Pokemon connection.
"Hey Patamon," Aang said, "can you really fly with your ears.
"Oh course." Patamon said lifting up from the ground, but he was moving very slow. Aang only smiled nervously.
"I can fly faster than that." Biyomon taunted taking off. But she didn't get much farther.
"Wouldn't it be faster to walk?" I asked.
"They can fly if they want to." Katara shot back. I decided to drop it. Gabumon started sniffing.
"Ahh, nothing like the ocean."
"Yay!" Gomamon yelled from the river. "Everybody in the water!"
"No thanks." said Ranma, Shampoo, Moose and Ryoga.
"Why not?" Gomamon asked.
"Because we have a problem with water." Ranma answered. Suddenly there was a ringing sound in air.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Sounds like a telephone." replied both Sakura and Ukyo.
I was wondering what they were talking about when Moose asked, "What would a telephone be doing way out here?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'Urgh.' I thought waking up from my nap. I always did wonder why they had telephones out here. Also it was getting pretty bright. I put on my sunglasses, turned up my iPod and went back to my nap.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"That's odd." I heard Tentomon say.
"What is it?" I asked.
"They're not there." he said his voice becoming faint. He probably was crossing the river.
"What do you mean they're not there?"
"Hold on," he called back. I waited. Then I heard him buzz back.
"Well?" I asked.
"They drew an arrow in the ground. It looks like they're going downriver."
"And they couldn't have waited for us?" I asked angrily.
"I know. I'm a bit miffed about this myself." That kind of surprised me. I didn't expect him to have a personality.
"Well, let's get going again." My feet were starting to hurt. I was so going to wail on Guillermo when I caught up with him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey look, there are phone booths." I said
"Wow, really Moose. Those glasses really are working." Ranma said sarcastically. Ranma! He makes me so angry.
"Whoa! Look who it is!" I heard Naruto interrupt my thoughts. I looked over and saw someone lying on a beach towel on the sand. It was a teenage boy around Zuko's height. He had dark brown hair that looked black if you didn't know better and dark skin similar to Katara and Sokka's. He was wearing bright red shorts and a yellow T-shirt along with earplugs and sunglasses. At first I didn't recognize him. Then I realized who it was.
"Guillermo!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I thought I heard someone call my name but I was just so warm and comfortable I just ignored it. It was probably just my imagination anyway. A short while later I heard a clear and loud "Guillermo!" and I jumped a little.
I opened my eyes and saw everybody standing over me along with their Digimon. "Oh hey guys," I started, "Nice to know you survived that tumble down the cliff."
Shampoo's eyes narrowed, "How you know that?" she asked.
"I was on the other side of the river when you guys and girls fell." I replied. "I was going to talk to you but that wave carried you away."
"How did you get here before us then?" Robin asked.
"Oh that. I rode my bike." It was then that I noticed that two of their number was missing. "Hey, where are Toph and Tentomon?"
Before anyone could answer Sokka jumped up and yelled, "Alright, you tell us right now what is going on!"
At this point I had put away my towel and sunglasses back in my Warp. My eyes narrowed at Sokka, "Sokka," I started slowly, "two things. One, don't think you can talk to me like that." I said darkly. I couldn't help it. I did not like him. "And two, before I explain things I would like everyone here so I don't have to repeat myself. So either you wait quietly or go swim in the ocean."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I was the one and I was nervous at what I just saw. As Guillermo was talking to me I could swear I saw his normal dark brown eyes turn a shade blacker and I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh great," I said sarcastically as we reached the beach, "sand!"
"What's wrong with sand?" Tentomon asked.
"Well with solid rock it's easy to feel vibrations, but with sand it's harder because all the air in-between the sand makes the vibrations all fuzzy and my visions even worse."
"Well that doesn't matter," Tentomon said happily, "because there they are!"
"Where?!"
"Over there. Just follow the sound of my voice." And I did. I started jogging and then Tentomon yelled, "Hello there!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone just stared at me unsure of what to say or do, but the silence was broken when we heard someone call, "Hello there!"
"Hey look!" Aang called. "There's Toph and Tentomon."
I looked but they must have been far off because I couldn't see them that well. "Really, I can't tell. All I see is a small purple blur and a bigger green blur. Hold on…" I reached into my Warp and took out my glasses case. I pulled out a pair of rounded, rectangular, black trimmed glasses. "There, that's better. Clear as day. Oh yes, there they are. Hello!" I yelled out that last bit.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hello!" I heard someone yell and I stopped. I recognized that yell. I grinned to myself and started running even faster. I was payback time.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After I yelled I saw Toph stop, then move even faster. I saw her friends go meet her but she brushed them off and kept right on moving. It didn't take a genius to know what she wanted. She stopped nearby, probably unsure of where I really was.
'Even in her non-bending state, she's probably stronger than me and could probably beat me up. But she can't see me clearly, which means I have the advantage.' People would think it was awful of me to fight a blind girl, five years my junior and a couple heads shorter than me, but:
A: they didn't know Toph,
B: she started it anyways and
C: I never was much for fighting fair when I knew my own limitations.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When Toph brushed past us and went for Guillermo I know when was going to pick a fight with him, but she stopped short. I understood that she was unsure of where exactly he was.
"What's up Toph?" he asked. She lunged at him but he was expecting that and jumped back. He quickly put away his glasses. I went to see if I could stop them from fighting but Guillermo stopped me.
"Hold on Zuko, if Toph wants to try to fight me let her. I could use a laugh." he taunted at Toph I actually saw his eyes flash red for a second but I didn't understand what it meant. Toph swung a fist at where she heard his voice but he had already moved anticipating her.
"Whoa," he taunted again, "a couple more like that and you might almost come within a foot of hitting me."
"Do you have any idea what you've put me through!?" she yelled back still trying to punch him. "I almost get killed by a giant bug and my feet are killing me because you took my earthbending, and don't try denying it. I know I heard you say 'I'm sorry' before we came here."
"That's true." he replied. "But if you will stop trying to hit me maybe we can all sit down and I explain the situation."
"So you can escape the pain?" she scoffed.
"How's this?" he said stopping. "How about we sit down, talk, and then, when I'm all done, you can go ahead and give me one good punch. But I'm only willing to allow you one punch without me guarding or evading. Deal?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Deal?" he finished. I thought about it. It was true I wasn't going anywhere where we were. I didn't really expect to find him where there would be sand. And in the end, I would still get to slug him.
"Deal."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After we all got settled Guillermo started to speak, "Now first off…"
"I'm hungry." Luffy interrupted. The rest of us sweat dropped. Our captain seemed eternally hungry. Then again I was feeling hungry and I'm sure the others felt the same way.
"No worries." Guillermo said. Now William said that when Guillermo said 'No worries', then it was time to worry but I didn't fret since it was William who said it. Then something strange happened. I saw him reach into a small pouch and pull out two large bags of food with some difficulty. I could only stare at what I just witnessed. "There you go."
"How did you do that?" I asked.
"Oh that," he replied, "well Robin, if you remember about a week ago I decided to give you these special bags. These bags would fit anything you put into them as long as you were able to lift it. The bags would never get any heavier or bigger. When I transported you guys here I modified the bags into small pouches. You all have them on but I'm not surprised you haven't noticed them." And now that he mentioned it there were these small pouches attached to my waist. Barely visible unless they were pointed out. "These pouches do everything the bags do with some added features. Your own pouch will only let you take stuff out and put them in. Also if you have lots of stuff you will be able to mentally retrieve what you want if you stick you hand in the pouch and think of what you want. All the pouches have sleeping bags along with some personalized items. By the way this is the only time I will be giving you food. I have food but it's for me myself.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because, unlike the rest of you, I'm not used to the outdoors. I'm a city kid who spends most of my time indoors. That's way in my pouch I brought as much as the city as I could carry. You people are used to living off the land, but I'm not. By the way before I forget I named the pouches. They're called Warps."
"Can we eat now?" Luffy asked
"Oh…sure. Once you guys divide the food I can continue talking while you eat."
When we divided the food we noticed a problem. "Hey," Ukyo started, "there isn't enough food if you count the Digimon and Luffy's appetite." Guillermo started to reply when the Digimon interrupted.
"Not a problem at all. We Digimon hunt and forage for ourselves." Gabumon said.
"Really?" Moose asked.
"No need to include us." Tentomon replied.
"You sure Biyomon." Katara asked.
"Oh absolutely, we can do alright for ourselves." Biyomon replied.
"Okay," Ukyo started, "but that still doesn't solve Luffy's stomach.
"No worries." Guillermo replied. "I actually solved that problem. Now how many of you felt weaker when you guys first got here, show of hands." Everyone raised their hands except Sokka. "That's because the original Digidestined were completely human with human limitations."
"Digidestined?" I asked.
"I'll get to that. Now because of this I had to downgrade most of you, which means no bending, cursed fruit powers, chakra, or strength or stamina that exceeds normal human limitations. By the way Toph, you are not able to earthbend but you are still able to see using earthbending. I also took away Luffy's huge appetite since I knew it would cause problems. I didn't do anything to Sokka since he has no bending or superhuman qualities. Ya know nothing special." he said that last part venomously. Sokka's eyes narrowed. Before he could say anything Guillermo cut him off, "By the way, you six," he gestured to me, Luffy, Ranma, Shampoo, Moose and Ryoga, "there is some good news for you. For Luffy and Robin, with no cursed fruit powers saltwater will no longer make you weak and you will be able to swim." This was some good news, but I never learned how to swim. "As for the rest of you, you will no longer change shape when you get wet." I saw the four of them brighten instantly.
"You mean no more girl!"
"No more pig!"
"No more duck!"
"And no more cat!"
"Now, now," Guillermo started, "this is only temporary so don't get too exited."
"How long?" Ranma asked smiling.
"I don't know." Now that was odd.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Moose asked with a frown.
"I have a confession to make." Guillermo said with a frown. "I'm actually part of this story with you guys. This means I'm not allowed to know everthing. I have some general knowledge but nothing specific."
"What do you know?" Sakura, Ukyo and I asked.
"Ahhh, now we get to the niddy gritty. Now if everyone will get settled with their food I shall start."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I heard a gurgling sound next to me. I turned and saw Agumon look sheepishly at my food. "Do you want it?" I asked.
"Is that okay?" Agumon asked.
"Sure, it's okay. I'm not hungry." Agumon nodded and started eating. Now me not being hungry wasn't necessarily true, but I've gone out much longer without food and it didn't kill me. I started listening to Guillermo.
"We are in the Digital World," he started, "this world is actually inhabited by creatures called Digimon…"
"Are Digimon related to Pokemon?" Ukyo asked. The corner of Guillermo's mouth twitched a bit. I knew he didn't like to be interrupted.
"No, there are several differences between Digimon and Pokemon. For one, almost all Digimon are capable of human speech. Second, as a general rule, Digimon are much more powerful than Pokemon. Thirdly and most notably, while Pokemon are biological creatures, Digimon are digital hence the name Digimon which is short for Digital Monsters." At this most everyone was giving him blank stares. He let out a sigh and continued, "I know you people aren't going to understand but I'll explain anyway. In this universe there are two worlds, the human world, which closely resembles mine and Ranma's group universe that includes countries like the U.S.A. and Japan, and the digital one. I'm not exactly sure how the digital world is configured, uhhh, I mean made up, but I do know that this world is made of data from the computers of the human world and the two worlds live side by side." Most of us were still giving blank stares.
"I think I sort of get it." Ukyo said.
"Us too." Ranma, Shampoo, Moose and Ryoga said. How they got it I didn't know.
"I really didn't expect anyone other than you five to get it. It helps that our two universes are somewhat alike. Our next topic is the blue devices the seven of you have." he gestured to Aang, Katara, Sokka, Sakura, Moose, Zoro, and myself. "Those devices are called Digivices. If one of you has one it means you are a Digidestined and are partnered with a Digimon." I faintly recalled when Agumon was Koromon he said he and I were partners when I pulled out my own Digivice.
"Wait, what about the rest of us?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah," Luffy added, "I want a Digimon too. They're soooo coool."
"And what about the rest of our crewmates?" Zoro finished.
"Well I'm not sure if all of you will become Digidestined or not. As for your crewmates, don't worry. When I sent you all here I realized all of you were just too many to keep track of. Your friends are perfectly safe in a type of limbo until their time comes. This is the group for now so get used to it. There are many variables that are factored in when I choose who goes and who stays but I won't get into that. Now to Digimon. When Digimon digivolve they reach their next level. The only levels I know of right now are, from least to greatest, Baby, In-training, Rookie, and Champion. Your Digimon are all at the Rookie level, while Kuwagamon was at the Champion level. I have a variety of information of different Digimon as long as I know their name."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Out in the ocean, nearby the shore, Gomamon was swimming when he sensed something. 'Something's wrong.' he thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Next to me Biyomon suddenly got up and was staring at the ocean. "What's the matter?" I asked.
"Trouble." she replied. Suddenly a geyser of water erupted from the sand. The geyser moved from and blasted what Guillermo and the others called phonebooths into the sky. I grabbed Toph as it started moving towards us.
"What's going on?" she asked. I couldn't answer her as I saw a huge spiked shell erupt from the ground.
"Shellmon." Tentomon said.
"What's a Shellmon?"Moose asked.
"Something that gets mad for no reason." Tentomon replied. From the shell came a creatures head, neck and two legs. Its body looked pink with blue spots and blue eyes. It had green vines on the top of its head for hair. I also had a large mouth and feet.
"Up here!" Sokka yelled. He, Ranma, Ryoga, and Naruto started climbing the ridge next to us but they were blasted by water from the top of Shellmon's head.
"Sokka!" Gomamon and I yelled. Gomamon was still in the water when he was blasted as well.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
While Sokka and the others were climbing I saw Guillermo pull out what looked like a flat, shiny, black rock from his Warp. "Here it is." I heard him say when pulled the rock in half.
"What is that?" I asked.
"Well this is the type of laptop I would love to have in real life," he said gesturing to the black rock, "and that," he said pointing to Shellmon, "is Shellmon, Champion level. An Aquan Digimon resembling a hermit-crab. Its shell is hard but its body is flexible. His special attack is Aqua Blaster."
"Digimon attack!" Agumon shouted not paying attention apparently. He and the other Digimon started running towards Shellmon. "Pepper Breath!" he shouted his attack hitting Shellmon in the mouth.
"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon shouted but nothing happened.
"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon shouted but with similar results.
"Super Shocker!" but nothing happened then either.
"What's wrong with them?" Moose asked. Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon and Tentomon were blasted back by a stream of water. Agumon was the only one who got up.
"Boom Bubble!" Patamon shouted but was smacked away with a vine.
"Poison Ivy!" Palmon yelled before being head butted away. Agumon launched another attack and hit Shellmon again.
"Good. Keep it up!" I yelled.
"Why is it only Agumon who's able to fight?" Moose asked kneeling over Tentomon.
"Were just too hungry." Tentomon replied.
"We just don't have any strength." Gabumon added from Zoro's shoulder.
"It's because Zuko gave Agumon his food. When Digimon are hungry they're weak." Guillermo said.
"And you didn't tell us this because…" Moose asked.
"Okay, first off, it's common sense if your hungry you get weak and second I did not think we were going to be attacked so quickly after Kuwagamon."
I turned my attention back to Agumon. "You're the only one left to fight!" I shouted.
"Then give me a diversion." he said. I was glad to help. I pulled out my broadswords getting Shellmon's attention. He fired a blast of water at me which I easily dodged. I saw Agumon fire a couple of fireballs at Shellmon. Shellmon decided to try to head butt me. Bad move. I predicted his movements, dodged, and took a swipe at him, which hit him just fine. What was not fine was that his hair seemed to move on its own. A vine wrapped around me and started squeezing.
"Zuko!" Agumon shouted. He ran over to help but was crushed under Shellmon's foot with only his head sticking out. I started losing consciousness from lack of air.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'I have to help Zuko but I'm not strong enough. I have to…' "Digivolve!" I shouted.
"Agumon Digivolve too," Agumon changed into a huge dinosaur creature with three clawed hands and feet, with a long tail and an orange body with blue stripes. His head was covered in a hard, brown helmet-like thing with sharp horns and red eyes, "Greymon!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I was still conscious when Agumon digivolved. The sudden growth unbalanced Shellmon and I was thrown to where the others were.
"Hey Zuko," I heard Guillermo start, "are you okay?"
"I guess." I answered while getting up. But I stumbled back to my knees from the crushing I just experienced.
"No your not." he stated. "Since we're missing Chopper have either Katara or Sakura take a look at you." then he turned to the fight. "Greymon, Champion level. A yellow, dinosaur-like Digimon. The skin on its head has hardened and become a hard shell with excellent protection. It has sharp claws and a huge horn with enormous attacking power. It's smart and able to cooperate with others. Its special attack is Nova Blast. Now we're talking." I turned to Greymon. He really did look like a formidable beast.
Both he and Shellmon faced each other. Shellmon charged and slammed into Greymon but Greymon stood his ground. Greymon started pushing Shellmon back when he shot a blast of water. Greymon moved to the side to dodge and then fired a steady stream of fire. The two attacks canceled each other out until Shellmon ran out of water. Then Greymon used his head to toss Shellmon up high. Then he yelled, "Nova Blast!" and a huge fireball emerged from his mouth and hit Shellmon on the underside. The Nova Blast carried him farther back when it exploded sending him even farther back. By this point he looked like a dot in the sky when he hit the water. I heard Sokka, Guillermo, Naruto, Ryoga, and Moose give long, low whistles.
"Toph you should have seen this."
"That was something."
"Did you see how far he went?"
"That was so cool."
"Look at Greymon, he looks terrifying."
"Now I know what you mean by the difference in strength between Pokemon and Digimon."
I started noticing that Greymon started shrinking. Then he turned back into Agumon lying on the ground. I limped over to him, "Are you okay?" I asked.
"Hey Zuko? Do you have anything to eat?" I couldn't help but crack a small smile.

"Shellmon wasn't destroyed, so I suggest we move along to avoid further fights with him." Guillermo said as I limped back with Agumon. Then he noticed me, "Hey Zuko, you should really have someone look at that." he pointed to my chest. I grimaced at my choice. "Actually have Sakura take a look at that."
"Why? Why do we have to go and why does it have to be Sakura?" Naruto asked defensively. I understood why with his crush, but it still didn't make sense.
"We don't want to go out picking a fight. Besides I'm done talking so we can move on. We can't really go on staying her forever. Let's explore more of the island. And it has to be Sakura because she is the only good medic since the only time Katara can heal is with waterbending."
"Makes sense." Robin agreed. "We also need to look for food for the Digimon."
"I guess it makes sense." Naruto said grudgingly.
"Come on Zuko." Sakura gestured walking toward a clump of rock. I followed. When we were out of view she said, "Take off your shirt." I knew why but I was still reluctant. I was even more uncomfortable when she started touching my injury. It was still sore. "It looks like your ribs are bruised." she said bandaging my injury. It was at this point we heard Naruto yelling. "Take it easy for 1 to 2 days and you'll be alright." she continues as I put my shirt back on. When we got back Naruto was unusually cold towards me.

"Ya know she's probably touching him all over his chest." Moose was telling me. I knew he was just trying to get me mad, but it was working.
"Shut up." I told him.
"And," Ukyo said joining in, "we've seen him when he was at the beach. He's much better looking than you. I wouldn't be surprised if she was falling for him right now."
"Will the pair of you SHUT UP!" I yelled losing my temper. My mood did not improve during the day.

I know I probably should have stopped Moose and Ukyo or encouraged Naruto. But a larger part of me was cracking up too much to do anything else than to hide my snickers behind my laptop. It was going to be very interesting traveling with them as a part of something and not just a Watcher.
"Hey Guillermo, where are you?" Toph asked.
"Over here." I replied. I saw her kind of walk over and kind felt for me until she touched my arm. "Uhh, Toph. What are you...?" That's when I felt an intense pain in the middle of my arm. I grabbed my arm and bit my lip. After a little bit of the pain ended I let out a small, "Ouuuch."
I saw Toph with her arms crossed in front of her body with a smug smile. "Now you really didn't think I'd forget the little deal we made earlier did you?"
"Oh." It was going to be very interesting indeed.
A/N: I get most of my Digimon info from my videogame. Sorry for any Sokka fans reading this but I never particularly liked him and over the course of previous...ahhhhh...adventures, he and I have a general bitterness with each other. With spring break ending I won't be updating as much. Although I don't expect people to care since no one reads this story. At this point I'm not asking for flames or praises. I'm just looking for some indication that this story is being read other than me.
