The wind was now blowing full force in the canyon and the Digi-destined we running out of ideas.
" Oh there is no place to hide!" whimpered Mimi as she clutched her large hat to keep it from blowing away in the gale.
" We have to keep looking!" cried Matt his voice almost drowned out but the wind. The storm had picked up sooner then they had anticipated. Blowing sand was obscuring their vision and biting into their exposed skin like tiny bugs.
" Hold it!" cried Tai as he stopped right before the portal. " We've just gone in a huge circle!" he said in disbelief.
" Now we're done for!" moaned Joe as he slumped to the ground.
" We can't give up yet! " said Sora as she dragged Joe to his feet. Suddenly, the wind picked up sharply, and blew poor Patamon out of T.k's arms!
" Help me T.k" wailed Patamon as He was thrown towards the Vortex!
" Patamon! " cried T.k as he ran after his Digi-mon
" T.k! No!" cried Matt ! Matt rushed for T.k but he was to slow to stop him! Patamon flew into the portal and disappeared!
" Patamon!" cried T.k, his eyes welling up with tears. The moment Patamon had gone through the portal, it began to glow and spin creating a whirlpool of colors; it also began to suck things in! The portal caught T.k of Guard and began to pull him in. " Matt help meeee!" wailed T.k as he was pulled into the vortex.
" T.k!" yelled Matt as he rushed towards the portal and leapt in, heedless of the danger with in.
"Matt!" called out Gabumon as he jumped into the portal.
" This is foolishness ! " piped Tentomon. This vortex started to expand and its force was stronger then ever! Mimi was all of a sudden pulled in!
" Mimi come back cried Palamon moments before she to was pulled towards the vortex! Sora ran forward and caught Palamon before she was lost , but the winds blew Sora and Palamon into the portal.
" Sora! I'm coming ! " said Tai as he leapt into the portal with Agumon and Biyomon,next were Izzy and Tentomon . Now only Joe and Gomamon were left " Come on Joe the others need our Help!" said Gomamon as he started towards the portal
" This is a really bad idea." whined Joe as he grudgingly went towards the portal.
Etamon leapt over the limp form of Onix and strode towards Ash, Misty and Brock.
" This looks bad Ash!" said Brock, a twitch of nervousness in his voice. Before Etamon reached the gang a large bomb landed in the field between them! with a sputter it began to spew out a dark haze.
" Prepare for trouble...."Said one all to familiar voice,
"And make it double...." Said another,
" To protect the world from devastation..." " To unite all people within our nation..." " To denounce the evils of truth and love..." " To extend our reach to the stars above..." " Jesse," "James," " TEAM ROCKET BLASTS OFF AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT," "Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
" MEOWTH THAT'S RIGHT!" said an all to familiar pokemon
" Ugh, team Rocket!" groaned Ash, " Don't you guys ever give up?"
" In Team rocket you never say die!" said Jesse " Now you three no the drill..." said James. " But this time we're taking a bit more!" said Meowth as he pulled out a remote and pushed some buttons. Before anyone could react two nets dropped from above and covered Ash, Misty, Brock and Etamon!
" Hey what's going on here?" said Etamon as he struggled to free himself from the net. " Enough of this horse play!" Etamon stood up and ripped the net to pieces and started toward the cowering Team rocket.
" B-b-b-but we were just helping you!" stammered James,
" Huh we were?" inquired Jesse,
" Quiet!" snapped James,
" Um, what my Team mates would like to say is that we, umm, were just catching these brats for you!" said Meowth in his most convincing voice.
" What? the what's with the whole net deal?" demanded Etamon
" To, uh, just make sure we got them!" said Meowth with a big grin. Jesse and James followed suit and grinned.
" Hmm well I am in need of some lackeys to do my bidding." Contemplated Etamon.
" Oh yes we're good at that!" said Meowth,
"Nobody has more experience then us! " said Jesse
" In fact I don't think that there's anyone more lacking!" said James
" Hmm you're right about that, well ok! you can work for me !" Said Etamon, " First things first lets take care of those brats." Etamon turned around to deal with Ash but to his surprise they had vanished. " What's this?" bellowed Etamon " You haven't even been working for me for 5 minutes and you've already failed me!" Etamon turned toward his new lackeys and continued to yell at them, while silently Ash, Brock and Misty crawled away through the bushes.
T.k woke up on the cold ground. He took in his surroundings and it all came back to him slowly. He remembered being sucked into the portal after Patamon, and he remembered falling from the sky through some trees. He was cold and wet from the rain, and his head hurt. " Ow!" he said as he rubbed a very large bump on his head. " I must of hit a branch on the way down, mabey that's why I don't remember what happened.". T.k stood up and it dawned on him: he was alone. " Patamon?" called T.k in hopes his digi-mon was near " Matt?" But neither answered. "Still I can't give up." T.k walked through the forest calling out Matt and Patamon's names in hopes that they would answer. " Mabey I'm all alone, mabey I'm the only one Here." T.k was beginning to get nervous. He glanced around the deep woods and another thought came to him: he didn't know where he was. " Mabey I'm back on File Island again."
T.k wandered some more and began to think that these woods may be huge and he could be lost. T.k sat down on a log to think about what he could do next. "If only Matt was here, he'd know what to do!" As T.k sat and thought, he thought he could here noises coming from the distance. T.k stood up and ran towards the noises and to his surprise he walked right into a town boarding onto the Woods! T.k could not believe his eyes! there were houses and every thing! He passed by a sign that read: Welcome to Viridian city, But where was Viridian city? T.k had never heard of this town. As he walked down the main road he saw a sign on the side of a building, it read: Police.
Remembering what Matt had told him to always go to a police station if lost .T.k walked into the police station and up to the front desk. There was a lady with blue hair sitting at a computer screen and typing in stuff.
" Yes can I help you little boy?" asked the lady. T.k began to explain his plight in full.
