Zypher: Hi all! I'm so sorry for all these long waits with some of my old stories but you probably know me, I'm always out of ideas and the juices are never flowing so I'm always in a pit with some old ones but don't worry, I'm slowly climbing out and getting them updated. So here's the next chapter to Digital Life which I bet you all were waiting for.

Chapter 6

As another battle between Marik and Malik commence, ToyAgumon and Guilmon fought fiercely, cancelling out many attacks and only some powerful ones were able to hit the other. Soon, it was a standstill, Guilmon and ToyAgumon staring each other. Malik and Marik watched with anticipation and soon, Guilmon fell to the ground, exhausted.

"Battle goes to me, Malik~" Marik cooed. Malik walked over to Guilmon and helped him up. "Yeah, I guess it does. Great battle though." Malik replied with a small smile. Marik nodded as well as ToyAgumon came to stand next to him. "I agree. I think next to my friends, you're one of the only people who was able to stand up to majority of ToyAgumon's attacks. Now, how about we get him inside and give him something to eat. I bet he's starving after such a long battle." Malik nodded as they walked into the mansion.

Yugi was also training, wanting to strengthen Garurumon as he knew one day, he will be challenging Anzu again and he wants to be ready for the next battle. Aqua came out with Strabimon and watched as he trained with Garurumon. "How's Garurumon's training going?" he asked. "It's going pretty well. I think I'll enter him in the Battle Arena once it's open." Yugi replied as Garurumon made to hit another target with Howling Blaster.

"But your friends have mentioned that you didn't want to enter the Battle Arena. Why the sudden interest?" Aqua asked as he walked over to stand beside him, Strabimon going over to train alongside Garurumon. "Because I know Anzu will keep coming back to battle me with her Birdramon to try and defeat Garurumon. The only chance to get her off my tail is to battle her in the arena and prove myself." Garurumon stopped with his attacks for the moment and looked over to him. "And I'll be there to help him along the way. You can count on me." Garurumon added. "I know we can. I put all my trust into you, Garurumon." The wolf digimon nodded once more and went back to training with Strabimon. Yugi and Aqua conversed with each other while their digimon trained before they decided it was enough for now and headed back inside to eat

Siegfried watched as Pokyupamon trained harshly in his new conditions. 'Soon, you'll be ready but not battle fit. I should go find someone to help train you.' he thought before he called for one of his scouts. When they arrived, Siegfried smirked. "I want you to go to Domino City. That's where I heard most of the digimon are being exported and I want you to pick out a nice strong one for Pokyupamon to battle with so when he becomes Belphemon, he'll be unstoppable. While you're at it, check out the competition that is there and tell me what digimon look strong to you." Siegfried commanded and he nodded as he left for Domino. Leon watched from a crack in the door, holding in his arms a Leormon that had a small scar over his eye.

'Hopefully he won't go power crazy with such a strong digimon as his partner.' he thought before he left for his room.

For the next week or so, Yugi and his friend along with Yami and his friends trained to prepare themselves for the Battle arena, some of them digivolving such as Aqua's Strabimon into Dobermon X and Diamond's Renamon into a beautiful Kyubimon. "Are you sure you're ready, Yugi? There could possibly be stronger digimon there and we don't want Garurumon to get hurt." Diamond spoke. "Don't worry. I'm sure he can handle it and even if he does get hurt, I don't have to worry too much about him leaving me unless I was wounded badly."

"If yer sure. We really don't want ya to lose Garurumon since he's the first digimon ya ever raised, and we know how ya felt 'bout raisin' digimon at the start." Jou added. "I told you, I'll be fine and so will he. Right?" Yugi questioned, looking to Garurumon who nodded. "I'm not going to let any ol' champion digimon defeat me easily, especially that girl's Birdramon." Garurumon growled as they made their way over to the Battle arena. Youkomon walked over to Kyubimon and nuzzled her lightly while they made their registrations and waited for their digimon to be called. Diamond was first up to fight and she bid them good luck before she entered the first door leading to one of the many arenas. Next called was Malik and he left, waving to the others as he entered the next door. Afterwards was Yami, then Seto and last, Yugi. "You'll do well, Yugi. Garurumon is by your side and we all believe in him." Aqua said and he nodded. "Good luck, Yugi. Win that match for us." Topaz said with a grin. "I will." he whispered before entering the last arena.

The scout that Siegfried sent walked around the city, looking at the many people that had digimon and haven't saw many that may pose as a challenge to Pokyupamon. He then saw a large shadow walking by and got a closer look. 'Now what digimon could that be?' he wondered as he pulled out a D3 and examined the digimon. 'Hmm, Sangloupmon and he's a champion with pretty strong attacks. He may be the one.' The scout thought as he pulled out a small phone. "Siegfried, I think I found the perfect digimon for Pokyupamon. Should I bring him immediately?" The scout asked. /No, just wait for a while and explore the city more. There must be a strong tamer out there and whether its him or her, bring them with the digimon you found./ Siegfried said and he nodded as he closed the phone and went over to the nearby battle arena across the street.

"Finish her off with another Howling Blaster, Garurumon!" Yugi called and he did so, finishing off the LadyDevimon the other tamer had. He congratulated him on a great match and Yugi did the same before he left out. Aqua looked up and smiled. "Did you make it through the first match?" he asked. He nodded. "Yes, I did and you should've seen! Garurumon was doing great out there!" Yugi praised, patting Garurumon's head. Garurumon smiled and so did the others. "Yugi, why don't you come watch the next batch of matches. Aqua and I were called next to go in." Kaiser offered. "Ok then. Good luck!" Yugi said as he and Garurumon walked up through the audience entrance. They watched him go before entering the next two open arenas for their matches.

The scout watched every match and paid attention to Yami and Yugi's battle. During one of the matches, Monodramon digivolved into Strikedramon and Garurumon proved to be a difficult foe. 'They may be the perfect ones to bring back to meet with Siegfried and battle with Pokyupamon as well.' he thought as he watched the next match with Yugi going against Anzu.

Yugi sighed as Garurumon prepared for the next match. "I should've known she would've entered but to my luck, I have to be the one going against her." he muttered. Yami stood beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry too much about her. She shouldn't be any more powerful than Garurumon is. Believe in him and I'm sure you'll win." he murmured softly and Yugi nodded. Being daring, Yami leaned down and placed a small, chaste kiss upon Yugi's cheek, making him blush and he smiled.

"Defeat her good, Yugi." Yami whispered and he nodded once more as he walked into the arena to face off with Anzu and her Birdramon once more. "And look who just has to be my opponent. I'll make sure your defeat is tasteful to the watchers." Anzu muttered. "Yeah, I would never let some lower champion digimon defeat me." Birdramon snapped from beside her. "Think all you like but we'll win this match." Yugi hissed, Garurumon nodding his head as he stepped forward. Birdramon did as well and once they were given the signal, they lunged as each other. Birdramon tried to start off with Meteor Wing but Garurumon jumped up and bit down on her wing, making her screech out as she was thrown down to the ground. She hit the ground while he landed softly and charged towards her, using his Slamming Attack. She cried out again and Anzu was standing on the other side of the field, throwing out random commands. Birdramon finally got up and flew up into the air once more and used her Fire Flapping attack, sending out streams of fire towards Garurumon.

"Garurumon, dodge and hit her with Howling Blaster!" Yugi called and he nodded as he rushed in, dodging each fire stream and sent out a Howling Blaster at her which knocked her out of the air. "No! I'm not going to lose that easily. Birdramon, use Phoenix Rise!" she commanded and Birdramon disappeared once more. Garurumon looked around the field, trying to predict her next move and jumped out of the way just in time to avoid getting hit by her rising out of the ground in a flaming mass. "Now, Garurumon, use Wolf Cry!" he called and as he landed, he let out a long howl, causing shock-waves that went to hit Birdramon and she couldn't dodge in time because of her being weakened from her last attack. "I see she may be stronger however it doesn't mean she won't be tired out from her attacks so soon." Garurumon taunted. Birdramon ruffled her feathers. "Shut your mouth! That doesn't mean I can't beat you!" she squawked and planned to use another Meteor Wing but Garurumon only let loose another Howling Blaster that knocked her out of the air and to the ground. Garurumon smirked in triumph and Anzu glared at them both. "You'll both pay for this soon. She will become Garudamon and when she does, prepare to lose everything!" she hissed before leaving, Birdramon struggling to get up before following her tamer.

Yugi only smiled at Garurumon before leaving out, meeting up with Yami who was done his match as well. "So, how did it go?" he asked. "I had to go against Anzu again but once again, she and Birdramon herself were so reckless with moves that she pretty much tired out her digimon." Yugi explained. "And she thinks that she could beat anyone. Doing stuff like that wouldn't help at all. Planning out your moves carefully will surely be able to hit its mark." Strikedramon murmured from beside Yami and they nodded. The scout left the bleachers to meet up with them before they could leave for their next match. "Hey, just the people I wanted to see." he acclaimed as he walked over to them. Yami looked at him warily. "And who are you?"

"I'm just a friend to a CEO that is into this new game. He said he wanted to find someone that he wishes for his digimon to go against for training and I think I found the perfect candidates." The scout explained. "Well, that's all great and all but we don't have to time to go and see him." Yugi mumbled. "But it shouldn't be too long, maybe a week or so and he would let you stay inside the mansion for the duration of your time there." The scout offered once more. Yugi thought about it then looked to Yami. "What do you think, Yami?"

"Hmm, perhaps we can to see what kind of digimon he could have. Maybe we can get some more training while we're there." Yami explained and he nodded. Yugi nodded then looked back to the scout. "Ok, we'll come. Also, our friends will be joining us as well since they surely don't want to be left behind." Yugi said and he nodded. "Great, I'll come to get you and the others tomorrow morning so we can leave early. Make sure your digimon are in top shape." he said before leaving, needing to go see if he could find Sangloupmon before they left.

'Hopefully they will be a perfect challenge to Pokyupamon like they are in these arena battles.' he thought, not wanting to disappoint Siegfried with weak digimon battling against Pokyupamon.

Zypher: And that's all for this chapter. Hoped you had enjoyed it and will be waiting for the next. Siegfried's at it again and this time, he hopes to have the most powerful digimon in the world but once Yugi, Yami and the other find out about his plot, he won't be doing so for long. So keep reviewing and we'll be getting to the ultimate battle of this story. I'll see you all soon in the next chapter.
