Episode 4
A Small Roar

Everyone woke up happy that they slept in an actual bed. Everyone left their small huts that they slept in and greeted each other.

"Glad to see you all slept alright." Florges smiled.

"Yeah,I'm glad we got to sleep in a somewhat comfortable place..." Keeth said.

"Happy to hear,so do you know where you're going from here?"

Keeth looked back at the group,and most of them shrugged.

"To be honest,we have no idea where to go." Ethan told.

"Well," Sylveon came up beside Florges. "Maybe you can go look for those bad Digimon who took over our castle!"

"That's...not a bad idea.." Keeth thought to himself.

"Do you have any idea where they could be?" Ali asked Florges.

"Hmm...maybe try going back through the fields where you got here from. That's where they came from so I would guess they retreated there." Florges explained.

"Cool,thanks Florges!" Keeth said and everyone said bye to the Fairies and headed back to the fields.

"Phew..." Rioc heard Gible sigh after leaving the Fairy Village.

"What's wrong?" Rioc asked the small land shark.

"Its...nothing." Gible looked away and blushed.

"What? Are you glad we left or something?" Rioc smirked at his embarrassment.

"None of your business!" Gible shouted

Rioc rolled his eyes and gasped when he realized why Gible was acting like this.

"Your afraid of fairies..." Rioc grinned when Gible gasped and turned back to him.

"NO I'M NOT!" Gible yelled

"Then why are you still blushing?" Rioc held his mouth trying to hold in his laughter.

"I'm...uh...er..IT'S HOT! It's very hot!" Gible crossed his arms.

"I thought Ground types were resistant to heat."

"We can still feel hot."

"But you can cool off easily. Beside's I'm not even sweating."

"OH LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP!" Keeth yelled making the two be quiet.

They looked at each other and huffed the other way.

Ali sighed at her little brother's immature act.

Everyone made it back to the fields,but didn't stop there.

They kept going until they reached the top of a hill. They looked around and saw a huge mountain in the distance with black clouds surrounding the peak.

"I think I know where the Dark types are..." Keeth said.

"So how are we gonna get there?" Ethan mumbled.

Shadows flew above the kids in the distance,they remembered the blue and red figures clearly.

"Hey..it's the Druddigon!" Jayme smiled.

"We should go say hi!" Keeth watched as the group of dragons landed on another hill.

The group of kids ran to the hills the Dragons were,and saw many more once there.

"Hey Druddigon!" Gible shouted to get the bigger dragon's attention.

"Oh Gible...happy to see you again." One Druddigon said.

"What brings you here?" Another said.

"We're just passing by!" Gible smiled.

"We're heading to that mountain over there." Keeth pointed to the mountain with black clouds.

"You mean Dark Peak?" A third Druddigon asked.

"Yeah,we heard the Dark types are there. We're looking for answers." Ethan explained.

"If I were you,I wouldn't go there the way you are." The first Druddigon said.

"Why?" Keeth asked.

"Cause,the most power Digimon on this island lives there,not counting the Dark types."

"Really?" Jayme asked. "Who is it?"

"Well, 'live' isn't the right word." The second Druddigon said.

"It's true it used to live there,but it's been asleep in a cocoon for years," The first explained. "It's called Yveltal. The Digimon of Destruction."

"D-Destruction?" Keeth gulped.

"Sounds scary." Penni cowered back.

"Long ago,when Yveltal was born,all it wanted was destruction. With a flap of it's wings,it can destroy an entire continent."

"Until the Digimon of Life,Xerneas,appeared. Xerneas sealed Yveltal in a cocoon,The Cocoon of Destruction,at the top of Dark Peak,hoping to seal it away forever."

"But upon doing that,Xerneas used all of it's power to seal Yveltal away. It became one with life,keeping this world alive as the Tree of Life."

"That's so...amazing." Ali mumbled.

"So,all this happened on this island?" Flavio asked.

"Correct." The Druddigon answered.

"It's amazing how Xerneas sacrificed itself for this world." Jayme said.

"Hmm..." Ethan thought.

"What's wrong Ethan?" Squirtle asked his partner.

"Call this a hunch,but I think I know why the Dark types are at Dark Peak."

He gained everyone's attention as he explained his theory.

"Since Yveltal sleeps at Dark Peak,the Dark types might be there to watch over it," He started. "They most likely know about Yveltal's power,and might be trying to find a way..." His expression turned into fear.

"...to revive Yveltal."

"WHAT?!"

After Ethan shared his theory,everyone went into panic mode,until they came up with a plan to take out the dark types who are trying to possibly revive Yveltal.

Druddigon said it would be wise to stick around and prepare a bit more for the battles ahead. The Dark types were not a force to be messed with.

Away from everyone else, a certain boy sat at the edge of the hill,watching the dragons do various things,like sparring,sleeping,or relaxing.

Rioc was so deep into thought he didn't notice someone sit next to him.

"Hey." He jumped at the sound of the voice.

He pouted at the girl beside him."Don't do that."

Ali smiled softly. "Your fault for not noticing me."

It was silent for a couple of moments.

"Are you ok?" Ali finally asked.

"I'm fine." Rioc mumbled.

"You sure?" Ali said.

Rioc nodded making Ali look worried.

"Are you thinking about Gible?"

He swiftly turned to her ans shouted "No!"

"You shout when you lie." Ali looked at the ground.

"So what if I am?" Rioc turned back and looked at the dragons.

"Your so immature..." Ali muttered.

"Say what?!" Rioc shouted. "I'm as mature as anyone!"

"Rioc,you're about as mature as a five year old on a sugar rush."

"A mature five year old."

Ali giggle. "Yeah,but it's still a five year old."

"Was there a point to this conversation?" Rioc questioned.

"Yeah,I feel like you should apologize to Gible."

Rioc huffed and looked away.

"I'm serious," She looked at him. "What you did wasn't nice."

"It's just Gible can't take a joke." Rioc mumbled.

"Still. You need to apologize." Ali got up from her seat and looked down at him,waiting for an answer.

"..." Rioc didn't say anything and continued to look away.

Ali sighed and walked away. She knew this would sink in after a while.

Rioc continued to think about what her sister said. About how she should apologized.

'It wasn't my fault...was it?' Rioc thought.

Ali huffed when she made it back to everyone else. She was fed up with having to deal with this.

"What's wrong?" Jayme walked beside her and asked.

"Rioc is being a doofus again..." Ali rolled her eyes.

"Again?" Jayme giggled. "Is he always like this?"

"Almost all the time. He thinks what he does won't affect how people feel," Ali said.

"Just what you expect from a kid." Jayme looked up.

"We're all kids..." Ali metioned.

"Yeah,but he's younger." Jayme laughed.

"I just worry about him that's all."

Jayme sighed. "It's not good for you. He can take care of himself can't he?"

Ali stayed quiet as if she was thinking.

"Does he still need babysitting?" Jayme teased.

Ali smiled. "Sometimes."

Jayme laughed before answering again. "You're amazing,you know that?"

Ali kept quiet but still smiled at Jayme's enjoyment.

Mareep looked around the fields for something. Her sights were set on a large rock with a small dragon on top of it.

She walked to the rock and stared at the blue dragon on it. "What are you doing?"

Gible was startled at the sound of her voice and looked down at her,then sighed silently and looked back to where he was. "Nothing."

Mareep struggled to climb the rock to sit beside Gible. She stared out at the field of dragons with awkward silence.

"Are you still mad about what happened?" Mareep suddenly asked. Gible huffed and looked away.

"Come on,it's not that bad that you're scared of fairies." Mareep said. "All dragons are," Gible said still looking away. "Most of us just don't show it."

"It's not that bad though,how do you think I feel?" Mareep said,making Gible look at her. "What do you mean?"

"I'm scared of Ground Types,but i'm still sitting next to you," Mareep explained. "It's ok to be scared,but you should also trust that those kinda of Digimon won't hurt you."

Gible stared at her before looking down. "O...Ok." He got up and was about to get off the rock,but stopped moving for a moment. Mareep noticed this.

"Gible? What's wrong?" She moved to look at his face,and saw the terrified expression on his face. Mareep looked ahead where he was looking.

He was staring at Dark Peak,and what most likely scared him was the figure that was flying towards them at a fast pace.

"That figure..." Bible muttered while stepping forward. "It can't be..."

"What? Who is it?!" Mareep shouted.

Gible jumped off the rock and ran as fast as he could to the other dragons. Mareep followed him in suit.

"DRUDDIGON!" Gible yelled desperately. The blue and red dragons turned to him in confusion.

"THE SKY!" He finally shouted. They looked up and saw the same figure right above them.

The Druddigon moved out of the way just in time for the two-headed dragon to land,letting out a big roar. Everyone in the fields heard it.

"What was that?!" Jayme asked scared. Ali looked to where she heard it. A giant two headed dragon was in the fields fighting off the Druddigon.

"It's Zweilous! He's with the Dark Types!" Mareep yelled with Gible behind him.

"In that case," Keeth appeared out of no where and looked down at Charmander. "Are you ready?" He asked. Charmander nodded and ran to Zweilous with Keeth behind him.

"Charmander digivolve to...Charmeleon!"

As Zweilous knocked away the last dragon Charmeleon appeared and knocked away Zweilous,who recovered quickly.

"Flamethrower!" Charmeleon breathed fire out to Zweilous,but it breathed out a purple flame and due to it's two heads it was more powerful then his Flames,so he was threw back.

"Charmeleon needs help!" Squirtle said jumping into the battle before digivolving.

"Squirtle digivolve to...Wartortle!"

"Water Pulse!" Wartortle tried to knock Zweilous back but it used it's head to deflect the ball of water,and instead it hit Charmeleon.

"Charmeleon!" Wartortle yelled in worry,but when he did Zweilous came up and bite him with both of it's heads and lifted him,making him scream.

When Charmeleon got up he was thrown back down when Wartortle was thrown at him. When the fell to the ground they de-digivolved back into Charmander and Squirtle.

"Oh no!" Ethan and Keeth watched paralyzed as Zweilous made his way to the injured Digimon. He was about to finish them off when,

"Dragon Rage!" A blast of energy was made and hit Zweilous dead on,making it turn to the source,which was Gible,who was paralyzed on the spot,but kept his ground.

"L-Leave us alone! You had n-no right to come here and destroy our home!" Gible said,expecting it to listen. "If you don't I'll drag you out of here myself!" Gible roared.

Zweilous roared back,indicating it wasn't going to listen. It's two heads charged up another Dragon Breath to hit Gible with. He just stood there petrified as Zeilous shot out the purple flame straight at him.

"GIBLLLLE!" Someone jumped in and pushed Gible out of the way of the blast. Gible looked up at the blonde child that saved him. "R-Rioc?"

"I'm sorry ok!" Rioc shouted,earning a surprised stare. "I shouldn't have said that to you,and I should have pushed you! I'm sorry!" Rioc shouted child getting up.

"Rioc? What are you.." Gible sat and watched Rioc walk up to Zweilous. Once he did he put his arms out and glared up at Zweilous.

"There's no way you're hurting Gible! You'll have to get through me if you want to catch a glimpse of him! Come at me and give it everything you have,I'M NOT BACKING DOWN!" Rioc screamed,and his responds was a roar from Zweilous.

"No...don't do it..." Gible muttered as Zweilous charged up the attack again,and it's target was Rioc. "...please..don't..!" He got up and tried to walk to them,but it was too late,Zweilosu fired the blast.

"RIOOOOOOC!"

Golden light enveloped Rioc,and the same light came from Gible.

"Gible digivolve to..."

He became larger,the fin on his head disappeared and two fins sported on his arms. The same fin was on his back,

"Gabite!"

Rioc prepared for immense pain,but when it didn't come he opened his eyes and saw two large fins block the Dragon Breath. Rioc looked up and saw what he though was Gible,but he was bigger and more tough looking.

"Gible?" He was stunned at the appearance of Gabite.

"Get back Rioc," Gabite lightly shoved Rioc behind him with his fin. "It's my turn to protect you." Gabite got stood in front of the agitated Zweilous and prepared a stance.

Zweilous charged at Gabite to attack,but Gabite used it's fins to block it,and it was holding the fins by it's mouths.

Gabite grunted before he pushed it back. "Dual Chop!" His fins glowed green and grew a bit in size. He lashed out at Zweilous multiple times.

He jumped back when Zweilous roared. It charged Dragon Breath,and making it the finishing blow. Gabite prepared a counter attack when Zweilous charged it's final blast.

Gabite used his fins to defend himself from the blast. His fins were green,adding to the defense. The blast disappeared,and his fins absorbed the breath's power,making them glow purple.

Gabite lat out a battle cry as he used a finishing Dual Chop with the added power. He attacked and flew past Zweilous,who fell over after a moment of pain.

After that,Gabite's fins shrunk again and so did he,turning back into Gible.

Rioc ran up to him and crouched to his level. "Are you ok?" He asked with concern.

Gible turned around and nodded. "Yeah! I'm better then ever!" He smiled.

Rioc nodded and looked down. "I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize anymore! I forgive you,besides I shouldn't have gotten offended that easily..." Gible said.

"O...Ok.." Rioc said getting back up,and seeing his sister run at him.

"You idiot!" She hit him on the arm so hard he fell to the ground. "How could you worry me like that! Don't do that again!" Ali yelled.

"Yeah...ok." Rioc looked dazed rubbing his now sore arm. Gible chuckled at the site.

"So you can finally digivolve eh Gible?" Charmander came up behind him along with Squirtle.

"Yeah,but are you ok? You two took quite a beating." Gible asked with concern.

"We're fine! It was nothing!" Squirtle said toughly.

Bulbasaur came up and whacked his head lightly,making him fall over on Charmander. "It was nothing eh?" She said smugly.

"Euuugh..." Squirtle groaned. "Get off of me!" Charmander said weakly. Everyone around laughed at the sight.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" Druddigon asked the kids.

"Yeah,we can manage. Besides,It might be better to gain experience on the way there." Keeth responded.

"Very well. I wish you luck on your travel." The Druddigon waved off the kids as they made their way to the mountain,waving back at the dragons as well.

"We're gonna beat them,right Gible?" Rioc asked his partner excitingly. Gible nodded. "They stand no chance!"

The kids and Digmon walked through the fields,prepared for give their all in the fights to come.

"Sir,i'm afraid to report Zweilous has been defeated."

"What?! Was it those kids?!"

"I-I'm afraid sir. Also one other Digimon has been able to digivolve.

"This is bad...We can't allow anymore casualties."

"What does this mean sir?"

"We must prepare to send all our best to them. If that doesn't work I"ll have to defeat them myself."

"But sir-"

"Prepare to send them by tomorrow."

"Y-Yes sir..."
