(Odaiba)
Ash and Pikachu were wandering around the city walking down memory lane. As they passed through the streets, everyone's eyes were locked on them. They had seen his victory in the Kalos League. Ash was a famous individual, well known by people all over the world. A family was walking nearby when their child notices Ash.
"Mommy look, that's the trainer who appeared on TV." The young boy said as he pointed at Ash.
"Why you're right." The mother and son continued walking.
'Who knew that I was famous here in Odaiba.' Ash thought.
A few seconds later, a ice cream truck caught their eye. Ash recognized the man working at the ice cream truck. The man working there had a Italian accent. He then spotted Ash and Pikachu.
"Welcome back to Odaiba, Ash." The man greeted him.
"Louie, good to see you again." Ash greeted him back.
"I watched your victory in the Kalos League on TV." Louie informed him.
"Well I follow in the footsteps of my father, who wanted to be the greatest Pokemon trainer." Ash explained.
"It seems you're here for your usual." Ash nodded. "Yes one strawberry banana smoothie to go and a small one for Pikachu."
Louie got to work as Ash and Pikachu waited for their smoothies. A hour passed and Louie came back with their smoothies.
"Don't worry about paying for them." Louie told Ash.
"Thanks Louie. See ya." Ash replied as Pikachu hopped onto his shoulder.
The two walked off, enjoying their smoothies. Along the way, the junior high school catches their eye.
"It seems we're near the high school." Ash said.
"Pika." Pikachu said as well. The two sit down on a bench to take a break. Then Ash heard a voice to his right.
"Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here." The voice belonged to a woman.
"Sure thing." Ash turned his head to see who he was talking to.
"It's probably another fan that witnessed my success. You can't escape from them." Ash thought as he turned and saw a brunette-haired girl around his age wearing a pink and white sleeveless shirt with a camera hanging around her neck. She also had on a pair of long pink finger-less gloves, yellow shorts and shoes. There was also a pink hair clip on her hair. Both stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Then they recognized each other.
"Ash?!" She said in shock.
"Kari?!" Ash said in shock as well.
"Wow. Look at you Kari, all grown up." Ash said, impressed with Kari's new appearance.
"You've grown as well." Kari said, also impressed with Ash's new appearance.
It wasn't long before Kari saw Pikachu.
"Is that your Pikachu?" Kari asked.
"Yeah. Pikachu is the Pokemon I started my journey with." Ash introduced Pikachu to Kari.
"Hi Pikachu, it's nice to meet you." Kari said as she proceeded to scratch Pikachu behind the ear. Pikachu enjoyed it.
"It seems Pikachu likes you Kari." Ash said, smiling.
She then noticed the necklace.
"You're still wearing it." Kari said with joy.
"Of course. It's a way to remember you after all." Kari then realized it was 8:51am.
"Ash, I gotta get to class. Would you care to join me?" Kari offered.
"Sure thing. It would be great to go with you." The two walked to Kari's class.
'I had no idea Kari would grow up to be this beautiful.' He thought, blushing.
(Across town)
A young boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, a green and yellow long-sleeved shirt, turquoise shorts and yellow shoes was getting ready for school. He was finishing up breakfast.
"New school, new apartment, same old lumpy oatmeal." He said as he placed his dishes into the sink.
"Sorry I can't drive you to school. I have to finish this article before the deadline." The boy's mother said as he walked past her study.
"That's okay. I'll walk." The boy said as he walked to the elevator. When it opened two people were standing inside the elevator. One was a girl with violet 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 shoes.
"Hi. How are you?" The boy asked the other two.
"Fine. Thank you." The girl replied.
"Great. My name's T.K. My mom and I just moved into this building. I'm in the sixth grade, Class-A. Nice to meet you." T.K introduced himself.
"Oh, my name's 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." 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." Cody said as T.K. entered the elevator.
(Classroom A)
Ash and Kari made it to her first class.
"This is it." Kari said as she prepared to take her seat. Ash proceeded to pull out a chair next to her and sit down.
"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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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, that 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.
"Who's your friend Kari?" T.K asked.
"Meet Ash Ketchum. He's a old friend of mine." Kari introduced him to T.K.
"It's great to meet you. Hey, you look familiar. Were you on TV?" T.K. asked.
(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.
(Digimon 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.
(Forest)
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.
(School computer lab)
Tai's email reached 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.
(Outside the school)
"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.
"Hey Ash, would you like to stay at my apartment." She said as Ash now had a smile on his face.
"Absolutely." Ash replied, accepting her offer. Davis then came 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 asked.
"You jealous Mon Ami." A unfamiliar voice stated. Leaning against a tree was a brown-haired man wearing a trench coat, dark blue t-shirt and red pants.
"Hello Chere. My name's Remy LeBeau, but you can call me Gambit." Gambit introduced himself.
Ash then walked over to Davis.
"What's your problem with me?" He questioned. Kari then grabbed his arm.
"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.
(School soccer field)
"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.
(Digital World)
"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.
(Computer lab)
"What's the digital World? Is that a new Amusement Park?" Yolei asked, thinking that The Digital World was an 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.
Ash wanted to ask Kari a question.
"Kari, I want to hear your side of the story. Be completely honest with me."
"It started several years earlier. Tai, T.K and the others went to summer camp and obtained their Digivices." She held out her Digivice as proof. "They went to the Digital World and met their Digimon partners for the first time. We went by the title Digidestined and fought Digimon that threatened both worlds. After Apocalymon was defeated, we said goodbye to our partners and returned to the real world. Before that, I gave my whistle to Gatomon."
"That sounds like a amazing story, Kari." After Ash said that, a blush formed on Kari's face.
(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 and 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."
(Computer lab)
"We're going to the Digital World, prodigious." Izzy said as Davis was ready too.
"And it's great you're joining us Ash." T.K spoke.
"Thanks T.K." Ash smiled.
"No way. I'm going with you and not that hotshot." Davis declared.
"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.
"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."
"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.
