Somewhere else in Odaiba, a young boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, a green and yellow long sleeved shirt, turquoise colored shorts and green boots. The boy was finishing up his breakfast.
"New school, new apartment, same old lumpy oatmeal. I'm done mom." He said as he put his dishes in the sink.
"Sorry I can't drive you off to school. I have to finish this article before the deadline. It's all about the historical significance of toilet paper." The boy's mother said as he was walking past her study.
"That's okay. I'll walk." The boy said as he walked to the elevator, soon it opened at there were two people standing inside the elevator. One was a girl with violet colored hair, brown eyes, a blue hairband, round glasses, a red long sleeved skirt under a pink vest, dark blue shorts and orange shoes. The other was a boy with black hair, green eyes, a purple sweater, gray pants and gold colored.
"Hi, how are you?" The boy said to the other two people.
"Fine. Thank you." The girl said in response.
"Great, my names T.K. My mom and just moved into this building. I'm in the sixth grade, Class-A. Nice to meet you." The boy now revealed to be Ash's other old friend, T.K.
"Oh, my names Yolei. Would you like to walk to school with us? It only takes 12.3 minutes if there's no wind, it'll be fun. Oh, and this is Cody." The girl now named Yolei said, not only inviting T.K to walk to school with them, but also introducing him to Cody.
"Welcome to the building T.K, come on we don't want to be late on our first day." Cody said as T.K entered the elevator.
"Let's do it." T.K said as the elevator door closed.

Both Ash and Kari arrived at her first class.
"Well, this is it Ash." Kari said as she was about to take her seat, until she turned to face Ash with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. "Ash, it's great to see you after so long." She said with teary joy in her voice.
"Yeah, it's great to see you too Kari." Ash said as he was about to take a seat, until Kari suggested a very good idea.
"Hey, do want to take a photo together?" Kari asked as Ash had a smile on his face.
"Of course." Ash said as he stood next to Kari, who was holding her camera far enough so it could be lined up perfectly with their faces. The camera the flashed as the photo was taken. Soon Ash took his seat next to Kari.
Location Change: School Front Gate
T.K, Yolei and Cody were nearing the school.
"Hey Yolei, can you come over after school to fix my computer again?" Cody said which made Yolei's eyes light up.
"Only if your mom makes those brownies I love." Yolei said in an offer in order to fix his computer.
"I'll send her an email and ask her if she'll make a batch." Cody said as Yolei's smile grew.
"It's a deal, perfecto." Yolei said as she stuck a thumbs up. As they continued to walk, something caught the attention of T.K.
"Kick it over!" Random kid #1 said as other kids were playing soccer.
As T.K watched this game proceed, he saw someone that looked familiar. A boy tanned skin, frizzy burgundy hair, square-shaped goggles and dark brown eyes. a blue short-sleeved open vest over a dark blue shirt with long sleeves, a thick white stripe across the chest and thin yellow stripes over and under it. He also wears dark brown shorts, dark blue socks, and orange and white boots.
"Tai? I'm seeing things." T.K said as the boy kicked the soccer ball off the field towards T.K. Thankfully, he caught the ball as the boy came over to T.K.
"Hey, nice catch." The boy said as the two started at each other for a good 3 seconds, until T.K passed it back to him.
"You look familiar, it must be the goggles." T.K said as the boy was confused.
"Hey Davis, you're holding up the game." Random kid #2 said as Davis snapped out of his confusion. Davis soon then kick the ball back into play.
"What was I thinking? That kid couldn't have been Tai, he's a way better soccer player than that kid." T.K said as he walked away, unannounced to T.K, Davis stopped and looked at him walk away with a smile.
Location Change: Classroom-A
Ash and Kari were catching up with what happened since Ash left.
"Wow, you've been busy since you left. You caught so many Pokémon and came close to winning most leagues. But also saved the world multiple times." Kari said as she was impressed with Ash's feats.
"Thanks Kari." Ash said, thanking Kari. Quickly realizing that Kari wasn't wearing her whistle. "Hey Kari, where's your whistle?" He asked as Kari started to get worried.
"Ash, if I tell about what happened to my whistle, will you believe me?" Kari asked worryingly as she was worried that Ash wouldn't believe her. But, Ash had a smile on his face and put his hand on Kari's right shoulder.
"Kari, you're my friend, of course I'll believe you. All I ask is that you tell the truth." He said, reassuring Kari that he would believe her story. So Kari soon smiled, then told him about her adventure in the Digital World with her partner, Gatomon.
Location Change: Digital World
While in the Digital World, more Digimon were captured by the emperor. While an orange dinosaur was running from those black rings. "Tai, I need your help. TAI!" The dinosaur said when he fell to the ground.
Location Change: Odaiba High School
In the high school, a boy with wild light brown hair, brown eyes, a pair of circle-shaped goggles, a green high school uniform, gray pants and blue and white shoes. Quickly, a beep happened with a little square-like device.
"Huh?" The boy in confusion and worry.
Location Change: Classroom-A
As everyone took their seats, the teacher arrived and T.K was waiting outside the door.
"I'm Mr. Hamasaki and I'll be your teacher." Mr. Hamasaki said as Ash realized one thing.
"First day of school I assume?" Ash asked as Kari nodded.
"Yep, that's right." Kari said with a smile on her face, while Davis saw this and got jealous.
'Hey, thank kid is making a move on my girl.' Davis thought in jealousy.
"First of all, I would like to welcome a new student to class today." Mr. Hamasaki said as he turned to T.K.
"Oh, it's that kid." Davis said, surprised that the kid who caught his soccer ball was a new student.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm T.K." T.K said as he introduced himself to the class. Both Ash and Kari had smiles on their faces as their group is back together again.
"Please sit next to the girl with the camera around her neck and the boy with the blue and white sweat-T." Mr. Hamasaki said as T.K looked towards Kari and Ash and walked to the empty desk next to Kari. "Together again." He said to Kari.
"Just like old times." Kari said with her eyes closed and a smile on her face. Then, T.K directed his attention to Ash.
"Great to see you again Ash." T.K said as both men shook each others hands.
"It's great to see you too, T.K." Ash said happily as he finally got to see his closest friends again.
"I told Ash about the Digital World. He wanted to know what happened to my whistle." Kari said, filling T.K in about their conversation from before.
"So, you were there too?" Ash asked T.K, wanting to know if he was there before Kari.
"Yeah, between the two of us, I was the veteran. Well, now you gotta tell me about what you've done since you left." T.K said as Ash started to tell about his journey.
Location Change: The Digital World
Three Digimon were flying away from a giant winged praying mantis with scythes for claws.
"Hurry, don't let Snimon catch us! This Praying Mantis Digimon can cut through anything with his Twin Sickles attack." The red bug Digimon said was they continued to fly away.
"TWIN SICKLES!" Snimon said as he sliced through the air, creating two purple blades that soared towards the red bug and the pink and blue bird, while a yellow winged hamster hid on a tree branch.
"Oh no. Biyomon, Tentomon." The hamster said as the boy with wild light brown hair arrived beside the orange dinosaur.
"Agumon." He said to the dinosaur. Agumon was relieved to see that boy.
"Tai, you're here." Agumon said to the boy, now referred to as Tai.
"You got to digivolve." He said to Agumon, holding the device. But, nothing happened. "Huh?"
"That's why I need your help Tai. I can't digivolve." Agumon said as he explained the situation to Tai.
"Did you forget how? It's like riding a bicycle, now start pedaling and digivolve." Tai said, giving Agumon childish advice.
Location Change: The Emperor's Base
We see the Digimon Emperor, sitting in a chair all high and mighty, while looking at a monitor. After Tai's childish advice, the Emperor started to laugh.
"It's no use. As long as I have the black digivice, there's no way you can digivolve." He said as he was holding a black digivice that looked different than the one Tai owns.
Location Change: A Forrest
Back with Tai, Agumon and the hamster who were running/flying for their lives from Snimon. Until the white cat from before arrived from around the corner.
"Move your tail!" She said and then quickly ran to the cave she found and the others followed. While inside the cave, Tai pulled out what seemed to have been a small laptop that can be carried in his hands.
"This is bad, I better contact the others." Tai said, sending an email to his allies, but one email reached someone else by mistake.
Location Change: Computer Room
Tai's email reach the computer being used by Yolei.
"Huh? Come to the Digital World, the Digimon need our help." She said reading the message. "Must be an email to an online game, let's see who sent it. Tai Kamiya, hey there's a girl in the fifth grade with the same last name. This must be for her." She then printed a copy of the email and began looking for Kari.
Location Change: Library
Back with the trio of friends, they chatted about what was happening with them now.
"So T.K, how does your mom like the new apartment?" Kari asked T.K. But, T.K started to chuckle a bit.
"She's mostly been on the computer, so I don't know." T.K said as Kari now pointed her attention to Ash.
"Ash, since you're on vacation. Why not stay my apartment." She said as Ash now had a smile on his face.
"Sure, I would like to see your family again." Ash said, accepting her offer. Soon after Davis comes around the corner.
"Hey buddy." He said, pointing to Ash.
"He's name is not buddy, it's Ash." Kari said in annoyance.
"Alright 'Sash' or 'Cash' or whatever your name is. How do you know Kari?" Davis said in jealousy.
"Huh, how does Ash know Kari?" T.K asked, but quickly realizing one thing. "Oh I get it. You're jealous of him." T.K continued as Kari sighed.
"I'm not jealous of Hash." Davis said with an angry attitude. Soon, Ash started to walk towards Davis.
"First off, it's Ash not Hash, secondly she's my best friend." Ash said, before Kari grabbed his arm.
"Ash it's not worth it. He's just a kid like us." Kari said with pleading eyes. Ash saw them then sighed.
"I need some air." Ash said as he was walking out to breathe. After he left, Yolei quickly entered the scene.
"Oh hi Yolei." T.K said as her focus was primarily on Kari.
"You're Kari Kamiya, aren't you?" She asked Kari as Kari nodded.
"Yeah that's right. Why do you ask?" She asked as Yolei pulled out the photocopy of the email.
"Well, are you related to Tail? He sent this email." Yolei said as Kari read it. Her facial expression had now turned serious.
"My brother needs us. I'll be right back, I'm getting backup." Kari said as she went to get Ash.
Location Change: School Soccer Field
Ash let Pikachu out of his bag so he could breathe and so could Ash.
Well, both Kari and T.K stayed the same. But, one this is for sure, Kari grew up to be smoking hot." Ash said to his partner. Soon after, Pikachu then realized what was up with his partner.
"Pika, pika, pika, pika pika pika. Pi, ka, pi, ka, pikachu."" (Ash and Kari, sitting in a tree. K.I.S.S.I.N.G.) Pikachu chanted as Ash started to turn a new shade of red.
"That's definitely not it buddy." Ash said in denial. Speaking of Kari, she ran up right behind Ash.
"Ash!" Kari said, getting their attention.
"Huh? What's up Kari?" Ash asked as she was catching her breath.
"Ash, listen, my brother is in trouble and I need you and your Pokémon to help me." Kari said requested his help. Ash then smiled and put his right hand on her shoulder.
"Of course I'll help you. I'm not letting you lose your brother." Ash said as Kari started to smile.
"Thanks Ash, you're a true friend." Kari said as Ash now had a red streak across his face. "Hey, you okay?" She asked as Ash nodded.
"Y-yeah. I'm good. Let's get going." Ash said as Kari nodded and both of them made their way to the computer room.
Location Change: Computer Room
Kari and Ash soon joined the other, but they ran into a boy with red hair, black eyes and a high school uniform.
"Oh Yolei, good timing. I need to use the school computer room right away." The boy said as he need a favor from Yolei.
"You mean the legendary former Computer Club President is actually looking for me, I'm honored." Yolei said as T.K faced the new boy.
"What's up, Izzy?" T.K said as Kari now faced Izzy.
"Tai sent us an urgent email." Kari said as she showed Izzy the email.
"I know, I got one too." Izzy said as they entered the computer room. "I was about to reply when the battery ran out on my computer. I knew I should have recharged it after I played Trigonometry Trivia on the internet last night, but man, talk about fun." Izzy continued as he now typing a new email to Tai.
"Oh, by the way Izzy. This is Ash, me and Kari knew him when we were kids." T.K said, introducing Ash to Izzy and vise versa.
"Nice to meet you, Ash." Izzy said as he stuck his hand out to Ash. Ash then grabbed Izzy's hand and shook it.
"The pleasure is all mine." Ash said as he and Izzy started to get along well.
Location Change: The Digital World
After waiting, Tai finally got an email from Izzy.
"It's from Izzy, he's got Kari and T.K." Tai said as he was happy that someone pulled through.
"Tai, come quick!" Agumon shouted from deeper in the cave.
Location Change: Computer Room
Everyone was waiting on Izzy to get a reply from Tai.
"What's the digital World? Is that a new Amusement Park?" Said Yolei, thinking that The Digital World was and amusement park. "I bet they have some great rides." She continued as Davis was in a deep thought.
"I heard Tai talking about it once. He said there were a lot of Digimon there, whatever they are." Davis said as that fact surprised T.K and even Ash.
"You know Tai?" T.K asked as Kari came up to both of them.
"They play on the same soccer team." She said as Yolei came up with an idea.
"I got an idea. Let's go to The Digital World." She said as Cody approached the doorway.
"Yolei, weren't you coming over? You were supposed to help me fix my computer." Cody said as she soon realized he was right.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Yolei said as both of them left. "You did promise." Cody said as they continue to walk.
Location Change: The Digital World
Agumon showed Tai what he wanted to show him, it was an egg with an orange symbol that looked like a sun and a metal spike from the top.
"Look at that." Agumon said as Tai, the hamster and the cat look at the egg.
"It's got the Crest of Courage on it, is it an Egg?" Tai said in confusion.
"I've never seen egg with a spike through it." Agumon said, think it wasn't an egg.
"It must've been rough on the chicken that laid it." The hamster said as the cat saw something on the wall which surprised her.
"The legendary Master Digivice." The cat said as she got the attention of the others.
"The Master Digivice, Gatomon, what is it?" Tai asked the now named Gatomon.
"A powerful digivice that was created when the Digital World was first created. Unfortunately, no one was worthy enough to wield it." Gatomon said as Tai came up with a plan.
"Alright, on three you guys grab the digivice and I'll pull the egg." Tai said as everyone got into position. "One… two…" He counted down, but before he got to three, the device and egg started to glow., the egg released three orange lights while the Master Digivice turned into a purple light. "Whoa, they look like fireflies." He continues as they flew away. "The really fast ones."
Location Change: Computer Room
Everyone was gearing up for the Digital World.
"We're going to the Digital World, prodigies." Izzy said as Davis was ready too.
"I'm going with you." Davis said, but T.K looked towards him.
"That's impossible. Not just anyone can go, you need a digivice." He said as Kari realized that Ash can't help without some sort of miracle.
"Aw man. I really wanted to help Kari out." Ash said as Kari started to blush a bit.
"Listen T.K, if you can go, so can I." Davis said as the computer then lite up. Everyone's attention went to the computer, then four lights came from it a blue light went to Davis, a purple light went to Ash, while the red and yellow lights went to Yolei and Cody.
"What's this?" Davis said as he held a blue and white device towards the digital veterans.
"A digivice." T.K ssid in shock.
"It's a different model than the ones we have." Kari said as her attention went to Ash.
"Hey, what about this?" Ash said, holding a purple and golden device the others.
"Another digivice. It's different from the others." Izzy said as Davis got a little jealous. Soon Izzy focused on the computer. "We should get moving, while the gate to the Digital World is still open." He said ad it might close.
"Yeah, but how long will it stay open for?" T.K asked as Ash and Kari came closer to the screen.
"I don't care. I'm going to help my brother." Kari said as Ash was the same way.
"I'm going too. I'm not letting Kari lose her brother." Ash said as Pikachu had sparks coming from his cheeks.
"Pika. Pika pika. (Same here. Time to be a hero again.)" Pikachu said as he was ready for action.
"Hey, can I get Donkey Madness on this thing?" Davis said, asking one the most ridiculous questions anyone has ever heard.
"It's not a game. If the Digital World sent you a digivice then there's a reason and you should take it seriously." Izzy said, describing the scale of what was going on.
"I'm not waiting any longer. I going." Kari said in a serious tone, while she and Ash held their digivices to the screen.
"Same here, it's go time." Ash said, also in a serious tone, both of them soon entered the Digital World.
