"Agumon, we're back in business. Now we need to decide what our next move is." Tai announced as he, Ash, Pikachu and Agumon walk through a desert in the Digital World.
"The best thing for us to do is find our friends." It then dawned on Tai that there was another issue to resolve. How were they going to help Ash return to his world.
"Ash, it seems that once we complete our objective we'll have to come up with a way to help you return home." He felt guilty about allowing Ash to come to the Digital World without a way back home. Ash placed a hand on Tai's shoulder.
"It's not your fault Tai. There will probably be another chance for me to return home. For now, let's find your friends."
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"Thanks Ash." Tai and Ash gave each other a high five.
"So, where do we start?" Agumon asked.
"Wherever the road takes us, I guess." Ash shrugged. The four continued through the desert, but a sandstorm made it difficult for them to carry on.
"Where is everybody?" Agumon cried out while the sand blows across the desert.
"Great, some welcome home." Tai muttered sarcastically after the sand settles down.
"This is right where we left them Ash. But where could they have gone?" Agumon questioned as Ash and Tai's Digivices start to go off. This indicated a member of their group was close.
"Well it looks like somebody's close by because I'm getting a read of their Digivice. It's to the north northwest just a couple of clicks." Tai said.
"Let's head that direction." Ash insisted.
"Very impressive. You two sound like you know what you're doing." Agumon complimented them.
"I watch a lot of TV." Tai confessed. Hearing this caused Ash to laugh out loud.
"What's so funny Ash?" Tai demanded..
"Nothing. Just that you watched a lot of TV. I travel all over the world and learn about different places. What a kid." Ash copied his former traveling partner Iris's catchphrase.
"Come on Ash. I know more about the Digital World than you do." Tai argued.
The four continued to follow the signal produced by the Digivice. Pikachu then spotted something and jumped off Ash's shoulder. Everyone else then followed him.
"Pika." Pikachu said. Tai recognized the figure almost immediately.
"It's Tokomon." Tai said as he saw Tokomon with T.K's Crest of Hope and Digivice.
"Tokomon!" Agumon shouts as they run up to him.
"Hey, what happened little guy? Are you alright?" Tai asked, picking him up.
"Not exactly." Tokomon says with his eyes still closed. "You look like Tai. You are Tai! You're alive." He shouts happily.
"Yeah the last time I checked." Tai said.
"I'll bet a Black Gear Digimon got you, right?" Agumon asked.
"No, if it were something as simple as that I wouldn't feel so bad." Tokomon says hopping out of Tai's arms.
"Where is everybody? Where's T.K.?" Tai asks.
"I don't know. He's probably off with his new friend." Tokomon said. He then caught sight of Ash and Pikachu.
"Tai, who are they?" Tokomon asked.
"Meet Ash Ketchum and his companion Pikachu." Tai introduced them to Tokomon.
"Well you and Agumon were gone an awful long time." Tokomon says.
"We were? How long?" Tai wonders.
[Flashback]
"We looked high and low for you, I did most of the low part." Tokomon says as the flashback starts.
All the DigiDestined were still in the desert waiting for Tai and Agumon to return but no such thing happened. T.K. and Tokomon were sitting by a fire Dracomon gladly started for them while the others were talking.
It's no use. We practicality lost ourselves." Matt says standing next to Shiro with their Digimon by their side.
"Oh personally I've been lost ever since I got here." Mimi admits sitting next to her boyfriend with Palmon next to her.
"What about Gennai? Maybe he can help us find them." Izzy says with Tentomon to his left and Gomamon to his right.
"Yeah and where do we find him? I think one wild goose chase is enough." Joe says standing in front of Izzy.
"Besides what help could he be. Everything he tells us is either cryptic or useless." Shiro says and Dracomon nods in agreement.
"This is the most depressing camp out ever." Mimi says.
Later the moon had finally up come and all the DigiDestined and Digimon were asleep, well almost all.
"Won't T.K. be upset?" Biyomon asks.
"Maybe but he'll be safer here." Sora says but then Tokomon starts to wake up.
"Shh we're going off to find Tai on our own wake anyone." She says to the In-Training Digimon.
"We'll see you later Tokomon." Biyomon says.
"Okay." Tokomon says and yawns at the same time.
"That's how it started. First Sora left then we all went in search of Sora. Then Izzy suggested we'd cover more ground if we split up so Izzy and Tentomon went off one way.
"And Joe and Gomamon went off another and pretty soon only Matt, T.K., Gabumon, and me were left." Tokomon's over voice said.
Later the four remaining DigiDestined arrived at the lake and were now standing on the bridge looking out over the lake.
"Why did everyone go away? Even our own brother left too. When your lost you're suppose to stay together." T.K. says.
"We just had different ideas of what was the best thing to do T.K. Besides we looked everywhere T.K. if they were anywhere near this area we would have found them." Matt said.
"Hey it's hopeless alright. We've already done everything we could." Matt shouts but causes T.K. to start crying. "Aw come on don't cry I didn't mean it. Don't worry wherever Tai and Agumon are I'm sure they're perfectly alright." He says to his little brother.
"Really Matt? Any minute now they'll be coming back, right?" T.K. asks hopefully.
"And they'll bring a bunch of presents with them." Matt jokes.
"Oh wow! You think so?" Tokomon asks.
"I hope you're right, I sure miss my friends and our brother." T.K. says hugging Matt's legs.
"I knew Matt was just kidding T.K. about the presents but that didn't matter cause just then..." Tokomon's voice over said.
The four walk on to find an amusement park in the forest.
"Look Matt. Is it real? Everybody's gonna love this place." T.K. says happily.
"But Matt did seem to excited it was like there was something on his mind that he couldn't stop thinking about." Tokomon's voice over said.
The four walk into the park to have a look around.
"Look at this! No lines! Uh actually there are no people here at all. Maybe they forgot to tell us that they're closed." T.K. says.
A while later Matt makes a decision to leave T.K. and Tokomon at the park and go off with Gabumon.
"So T.K. you sure you'll be alright?" Matt asks his little brother.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." T.K. says.
"That's my big little bro." Matt says placing his hand on T.K.'s head.
"But you'll be back pretty soon right?" T.K. asks.
"Right I'm just gonna look around a little. Really check this place out and hopefully find our brother in the process. I'll be back in maybe a couple of hours at the most." Matt says.
"Tokomon you're responsible for looking after him, okay." Gabumon says.
"Sure." Tokomon replies and the two of them watch Matt and Gabumon pedal away on a swan boat like paddle boat.
"Don't worry. We'll be waiting right here!" T.K. shouts waving bye to his fleeting brother.
"Great and remember it's an amusement park so like amuse yourself. See ya soon!" Matt shouts back.
"Okay bye!" T.K. yells.
Later the sun was about to set and Tokomon had gathered some fruit for them to eat.
"Hours went by and still no Matt." Tokomon's over voice says.
"He'll come back T.K." Tokomon says running across the dock.
"I wonder what's keeping them." T.K. says to himself out loud.
"You've gotta eat something." Tokomon tells him.
"They should've come back by now." T.K. says.
Later the sun had finally gone down and the moon was out. T.K. had found a bench to rest on.
"We waited at the park for almost a week. T.K. spent the whole time steering out at the water except when he just couldn't stay awake anymore." Tokomon's voice over said.
Tokomon then pulled the huge leaf over T.K. like a blanket.
"He waited and waited." Tokomon's over voice continues.
"He's coming. Any minute now I'll see his boat out there." T.K. says but then starts crying.
Just then Tokomon comes up with some berries.
"Don't cry again." He says.
"He's gone! I just know it! He's gone away like all the others! He said he'd be back in a couple of hours." T.K. cries as he turns to face Tokomon and drops to his knees.
"No don't give up hope." Tokomon says but T.K. doesn't listen and continues to cry.
Just then a mini bat like Digimon with two wings and feet comes flying over.
"Hey what's all the squawking about? DemiDevimon's the name. Mind if I drop in?" DemiDevimon asks.
"DemiDevimon? I've heard about you!" Tokomon says.
"Oh, great! I'm flattered!" DemiDevimon says.
"Don't be. Nothing I've heard was good." Tokomon tells him.
"Okay, okay I admit I used to be a bit of a wise guy but that's only because I was working for Etemon. But now he's kaput thanks to you guys. Something for which I'm eternally grateful. Personally I never liked the guy." DemiDevimon says.
"Have you seen my brother out there?"
Well you've come to the right Digimon. Let me see what I can do. Be back in a flash." DemiDevimon says and takes off.
(End Flashback)
"Then what happened?" Ash asked Tokomon. Tokomon went on to explain that he and T.K. got into a fight after DemiDevimon told T.K. that Matt doesn't want him around. T.K. then proceeded to leave Tokomon with his Crest and Digivice.
"You see Tai, we go away for a couple of days and everything falls apart." Agumon said.
"Hm...first let's find out what T.K.'s up to and then we'll look for Matt and the others. Take us to him Tokomon." Tai says.
"You got it." Tokomon says and they head for the amusement park.
"I don't know about you, but I want to give DemiDevimon a piece of my mind."
"That's the place?" Tai asked upon seeing the Ferris wheel.
"Yeah T.K.'s in there somewhere with that flying phony." Tokomon said.
"Woo-we ain't this a gas? We're having some fun now, huh? [Laughing] Hey T.K. I bet I can spit farther than you." DemiDevimon says but T.K. isn't that excited.
"Tokomon's awful small to be out on his own. I hope he's okay." T.K. says.
"Forget about him, will ya? Come on let's try the highway." DemiDevimon suggests.
T.K. then spots Tai, Agumon and Tokomon along with Ash and Pikachu.
"Tai, who are they?" T.K. asked.
"T.K., I'd like you to meet Ash Ketchum and his companion Pikachu."
"Nice to meet you T.K." Ash introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you Ash." T.K. introduced himself as well.
"You're really cute Pikachu." DemiDevimon realized he had a problem.
'With those two around, my mission is going to fail. I'll get rid of those two after the others.' DemiDevimon thought.
Meanwhile DemiDevimon finds the two Gazimon in the forest with mushroom growing out of their bodies.
"Hey! What would Etemon say if he saw you two lounging around like that?" DemiDevimon asks.
"Who?" Gazimon 1 asks.
"Ete-what?" Gazimon 2 asks.
"Who's that?" Gazimon 1 asks.
"No idea." Gazimon 2 says.
"Uh who are you come to think of it." Gazimon 1 says.
"Who am I? Guess I forgot." Gazimon 2 says.
"What do ya know? The famous mushroom of forgetfulness. I've always wonder if these things work and judging from the two of you clowns they obviously do. Feed the kid a few of these and he'll forget all about that Tokomon." DemiDevimon said.
T.K. was telling the others that Matt didn't want him around.
"T.K. I'm sure your brother doesn't hate you and does want you around. If you come with us, we can find him and the rest of your friends." T.K. started to think of Ash as a big brother.
"Thanks Ash. Look it's DemiDevimon." T.K. says seeing him with a basket full of mushrooms.
"That's him?"
"I don't like the looks of this." Ash said.
"Pika." Pikachu added.
DemiDevimon then sets the basket on the ground and lands right next to it.
"Welcome back Tokomon. How ya been?" DemiDevimon asks.
"Okay what did Matt really say to you?!" Agumon asks angrily.
"Cool it buddy. Just who are you anyway?" DemiDevimon asks.
"We're friends of T.K.'s, real friends." Tai tells him.
"Start talking and it better be the truth this time." Agumon says.
"Hey who are your other friends." DemiDevimon. Tai and Agumon became suspicious due to the fact DemiDevimon knew about Ash and Pikachu.
"We didn't tell you about Ash or Pikachu." Tai countered.
"Probably my imagination. It's been a long day, would you like some mushrooms." DemiDevimon handed the mushrooms to them.
Ash had headed into the forest to get some mushrooms with Pikachu.
"The Digital World really is a great place." Ash said to himself as he looked at his Digivice. "Those dreams are a concern, but I'll figure out why I'm having them later."
He and Pikachu stumbled across some of the mushrooms.
"Pika." Pikachu said. He wanted to eat one of the mushrooms and picked it up, only to see Agumon finish relieving himself.
"This world is strange." Ash remarked before seeing a sign that said "Beware the mushrooms of forgetfulness they will take your memories away." He prevented Pikachu from eating the mushroom and ran off to warn the others. Sora and Biyomon were watching him from some nearby trees.
"He knows Tai and Agumon!" Biyomon yelled.
"Yeah, but who is he? He's kinda cute." Sora said. Biyomon overheard this statement.
"Don't eat those!" Ash and Agumon shouted. They yank the mushrooms away from Tai and T.K.
"You don't see him eating! Try one! Come on open up!" Agumon shouts and throws one at DemiDevimon and hit his face.
"Yeah he's trying to erase your memories."
"Is that true? Were you trying to poison us?!" T.K. asks angrily.
"Don't be silly." DemiDevimon say nervously.
"You're lying just like you lied about Matt." Tokomon said angrily.
"It was a lie, wasn't it?!" Agumon asks grabbing DemiDevimon before he gets away.
"Yeah." DemiDevimon says quietly but they still hear him.
"You flying rat! Tokomon I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" T.K. asks.
"As long as you promise we'll always be friends." Tokomon says jumping into his friends arms.
"Of course!" T.K. says happily.
"Good work! That's one problem taken care of. Here T.K. I thought you might want this back." Tai says giving him his Digivice and placing the Crest of Hope around his neck.
"You betcha." T.K. says and then his Crest of Hope starts glowing yellow.
"Check it out T.K.'s crest is glowing." Tai comments.
"Who gave you the idea that crest was yours? Hand it over ya little squirt!" DemiDevimon say breaking free from Agumon.
"I'm gonna teach this mon a lesson!" Tokomon says.
"Go after him." T.K. says backing up his Digimon.
"Tokomon digivolve to...Patamon!" Patamon shouts flying up towards DemiDevimon.
"Way to go Patamon. Take him down." Tai cheers but DemiDevimon pushes Patamon into a tea-cup ride and was about to finish him off when Pikachu retailated.
"Leave Pikachu and Patamon alone! You've caused enough problems for one day." Ash's Digivice then began to glow. DemiDevimon knew what was about to transpire.
"It can't be. I must grab that before it's too late." DemiDevimon gasped.
"Ash master digivolve to!" He and Pikachu overlap and a new figure was in their place.
"Voltachu."
"No way, he combined with a Pokemon!" DemiDevimon exclaimed.
"Ash, is that you?" Tai asked.
(Digi-Analyzer)
"Yes. As Voltachu, my enemies are shocked with a million volts of electricity."
"Let's take DemiDevimon down together." Patamon declared.
"It would be my pleasure." Voltachu responded.
"Boom Bubble." He shouts blasting DemiDevimon back up.
"Hey now, let's call a truce." DemiDevimon begged.
"I'll give you a truce pal. Volt Blast!" DemiDevimon was sent flying into the lake.
"You were awesome!" T.K. cheered.
Voltachu then reverted back into Ash and Pikachu.
"Whoa. Did we fuse together?" Ash asked.
"Pika." Pikachu said.
"You were amazing Ash." Tai remarked.
"I was close, so close." The skies then proceeded to turn red.
"Now I'm in trouble." A flock of bats appeared out of nowhere and turned into a silhouette.
"Forgive me o terrible one. The Crest of Hope has regained it's light and the legendary Master Digivice has been found. I'll work overtime to make up for this and on Sundays as well."
Back with Tai, T.K., Ash, Pikachu, Agumon, and Patamon the six of them were now standing by the lake watching the sun.
"Hey Ash, how did you manage to change into a Digimon?" Tai asked.
"I guess it was due to DemiDevimon attempting to destroy you and steal your crests."
"What do you say to us being best friends." Tai stuck his hand out.
"Best friends." Ash and Tai give each other a high five.
"Now let's go find the rest of our friends." T.K. remarked.
The group of six set off to do just that.
