'Hey' - Talking normal

'Hey' - In mind

(Hey) - Pokemon talking, they can't talk but you get the idea

Thanks for your patience, those who have moved house will understand it is a real pain and you never want to do again

Mainly just talking in this chapter

Begin Chapter...

Ash breaths a sigh of relief as Cody reunites with the other digidestined as they also retrieve their D-3s from Staraptor and thanking for its efforts, TK was first to approach the young trainer.

"Thanks a bunch for saving Cody, we were you showed up when you did" said TK

"Hey I'm glad I was able to help, by the way my name is Ash" he replied

"Nice to meet you Ash, I'm TK. You've already met Cody" greeted the young blond

"My name is Yoeli" she smiled

"I'm Davis" spoke the 'leader'

"It's nice meeting you all" spoke the raven haired trainer, he then noticed Kari hiding behind Yoeli a little reluctant to step forward. "It's ok I don't bite, my name is Ash" he spoke again.

"I'm Kari" she replied shyly. Kari then felt something rubbing against her leg, she looked down to see Pikachu happily stroking it cheek against her leg in a friendly manner and she couldn't help but smile.

"It seems Pikachu has taken like to you Kari" Ash pointed out

"Pikachu? I'm guessing that's not a Digimon" Davis enquired first causing Pikachu to tilt its head to the side in a 'huh' fashion

"No, but no that you mention it I believe that's what your companions are" replied Ash now starting to put two and two together.

"Yep we sure are, I'm Veemon Davis's partner" spoke a blue imp-like creature

"I'm Yoeli's partner, Hawkmon" said a red and white bird

"Armadillomon's the name, at Cody's service" spoke a yellow well... armadillo

"I'm TK's friend, Patamon" said an orange winged piglet as it landed on TK's head

"I'm with Kari, I'm Gatomon" said a white cat, Ash's curiosity was now kicking in

"You can all talk?" wondered the trainer

"But of course young fellow" chirped Hawkmon before continuing "wait, can't your um..." the bird digimon trailed off

"Oh, their called Pokemon and only some can talk" continued Ash

"Pokemon?" quizzed Yoeli "are they like your pets

"Nah, they're more like my friend. Right guys?"

"(too right)" said Pikachu

"(yeah)" agreed Staraptor

Ash then tried again to move but was reacquainted with the pain in his ribs, only this time it was more intense than before and began to cough badly.

"Hey are you gonna be ok?" asked Davis. He soon got his answer when Ash began to cough up blood.

"Not good, he needs help right now" said an anxious Yoeli

Davis then took charge, "Right Kari, Cody and DK get Ash to Joe, me and Yoeli will take care of the control spires". TK just mumbled something about his name being TK

"Staraptor...go with them... just in case... that Ken guy shows up again" Ash managed to say between coughs, Staraptor gave a hesitant nod to its master before flying off in the direction of Davis and Yoeli

"Ok Kari, help me lift Ash" asked TK. Kari just nodded as they both place Ash's arms around their necks and gently lift him to his feet and walk him to Joe's clinic (he set up in the Digiworld) followed by Cody, their Digimon and Pikachu.

On the way Cody dent Joe a message ahead

JOE - READY A STRETCHER WE HAVE A PATIENT IN NEED OF HELP IMMEDIATELY - CODY

"I've sent a message ahead to Joe to be ready" confirmed Cody

"Thanks Cody" said TK. TK then looked at Ash who was still cringing in pain "Ash put his own body at risk to protect Cody, regardless of the results. I wonder why he's here" he thought

"You'l be ok Ash, our friend Joe is a doctor. he'll have you back to normal" reassured Kari, ash just gave nod in response

"I really wish we could've done more to help" said Gatomon

"Yeah" agreed Patamon

"I know how you feel Gatomon" said Armadillomon

"It's not your fault guys..." Ash however couldn't finish that sentence as he started to cough blood again

"Hold on Ash we're almost there" said TK

They arrive at the clinic where Joe, Gomamon and Fridgemon were waiting outside with a stretcher. "Ok lay him down on the stretcher gently said Joe. TK and Kari laid Ash down and Joe took a quick look at him.

"His ribs maybe broken but I'll need to x-ray him to be sure" confirmed Joe

"Take care of him Joe, he got hurt protecting me" said Cody

"I will Cody" promised Joe

"Ash" Kari spoke, he look at Kari still with a hint of pain on his face. "Please be ok Ash" she finished

"I will Kari no need to worry" replied Ash

Joe and Fridgemon then wheeled Ash into the clinic as Pikachu then climbed onto Cody's shoulder. TK then turned to Kari, "You know the others are gonna need to know about that dream of yours"

"Yeah, but let's wait for Davis and Yoeli to come back first" replied Kari

Speaking of they had just made it to the three control spires and weren't wasting anytime

"Alright Veemon lets get to work, Digiarmour Energize" said Davis

Veemon Armour Digivolve to...

Flamedramon the Flames of Courage

"Our turn, Digiarmour Energize" joined Yoeli

Hawkmon Armour Digivolve to...

Halsemon the Wings of Love

"Fire Rocket" Yelled Flamedramon

"Tempest Wing" Called Halsemon

Both attacks collided with a control spire each leaving only one "(I got this one)" chirped Staraptor as began to fly high

"What's Staraptor doing?" wondered Yoeli

"It would appear that it wants to join in" answered Halsemon

Staraptor then proceeded to dive tucking its wings in and being surrounded by flames. It continued to gather speed levelling just above the ground opening it wings out and turning the flames blue, smashing straight through the spire. needless to say the digimon and their partners were shocked as the spire hit the ground.

"Now that was some power" commented Flamedramon

"No kidding that was awesome" agreed Davis

Flamedramon and Halsemon reverted back as Staraptor landed next to them

"Great job guys, now lets head to the clinic and how Ash is doing" said Yoeli

Davis: pretty average chapter after what went down

Me: why are you complaining you'd all be out of it if you were in battles every chapter

Davis: got me there (goes to leave)

Me: Ahem...you forgetting our bet Davy

Davis: fine (hands over money) but that was a lucky shot

Me: Really well why don't you tell Staraptor that he's right behind you

Davis gets nailed with Aerial Ace

Me: Remember I do NOT own Pokemon or Digimon, all rights go to their creators and publishers.
