Matt woke up looking into a cloudy sky. He struggled to sit up and did so with some effort. As Matt began to take in his surroundings it all came back to him: The portal, T.k and the Digi-world! But where he wasn't the Digi-world, this was definitely somewhere else. Matt got to his feet and noticed that no-one else was there with him, Tai, Mimi, Sora, Joe, Izzy and T.k were all missing, not to mention all of the digi-mon were gone too. The area that he was in was a large clearing surrounded by deep woods.
Matt began to call his friends and Digi-mon, but after a few minutes he realized that they all may not have went through the portal. " Well I'd better get looking for T.k, he's the only one I saw go through the portal. But the others would follow us, they wouldn't just leave us, they have to be here too!" Matt began off towards the deep woods, seeing no other way to go. After about an hour of walking through the deep woods, Matt began to doubt the woods were as small as he thought, When all of a sudden he came across another clearing. *sigh* " This is getting nowhere fast.," said Matt his optimism dying. Something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention: it was a tent with the smell of food being cooked. Now Matt was sure this wasn't the digi-world! Had he been sent back to earth like Tai had been? He decided to ask for help.
Brock had been cooking breakfast when he noticed someone walking towards camp.
" Oh hello! can I help you?" called out Brock. The person walking towards camp was about his age with a green sleeveless shirt and blond spiked hair.
" Actually, you can," replied the stranger" My name is Matt and I think I'm lost"
" Well Matt, my names Brock and I have a map around here somewhere, Where are you trying to get to, Viridian city?"
" Umm actually I'm little more lost than that."
" How so?"
" Well umm you may not believe this but, I don't really know where I am at all."
Brock had a puzzled look on his face." Are you trying to say you don't even know where this place is?"
"Yes, umm, you see I'm actually not from around here, but from a different place altogether."
" I don't catch you." But before Matt could respond, one of the tents opened, and a girl roughly about Sora's age stepped out.
" Oh, hello." said the girl, a bit surprised to see someone else.
" Oh Misty this is Matt, a traveler, he's a bit lost." explained Brock," And Matt this is Misty, a good friend of mine and a fellow pokemon trainer, and there's also Ash, but he's still asleep."
"Pokemon? is that some kind of Digi-mon?" asked Matt. But before anyone could answer Pikachu ran out of the tent and jumped into Misty's arms
" Pika?" asked Pikachu ounce he saw Matt.
Matt knew this wasn't earth, but mabey that was a digi-mon, or was this the norm around here, and were in the world is Viridian City, but since when did earth have digi-mon?
" Umm tell me did you people see anybody else go this way?" asked Matt
" No, not that I know of, where were they headed?" said Brock
" That's the problem, they would most likely be lost as well, we're all from the same place."
" You could try to ask someone in Viridian city, were on our way there today, you could come with us if you like." Offered Misty
" We're going just as soon as we eat, would you care to join us for breakfast?" asked Brock
" Sure, I guess I have no choice." Said Matt. Matt sat down on a log near the fire and stared at Pikachu.
" This is Ash's Pikachu," said Misty, " Do you have any pokemon?"
" Umm I'm not sure what you mean by pokemon, I mean is it a sort of digi-mon?" Asked Matt
" Your joking right, you don't know what a pokemon is?" said Misty. Matt only had a serious look on his face, " No your serious aren't you?"
" Boy you're not from around here at all," said Brock. Just then Ash got out of the tent.
" * Yawn* morning guys." Said Ash as he stretched; "Hey who are you?" asked Ash as he saw Matt.
" This is Matt, he's Traveler we just met, he's lost so were going to take him to Viridian City with us." Said Misty.
" Oh, well nice to meet you Matt, where you from?" asked Ash.
" That's what we're trying to figure out," said Matt with a sigh.
" And you say you don't know what a Pokemon is?" said Misty.
" Unless it's some kind of digi-mon I don't have a clue." Replied Matt
" What's a Digi-mon?" asked Ash.
" Well its kind of hard to explain but, they kind of look like that Pika thing there." Said Matt pointing to Pikachu.
" Pi?" responded Pikachu as he heard his name called.
" I don't get it where are digi-mon from?" said Brock.
" I'm not really sure myself." Replied Matt.
Just then Brock remembered something from last night, " Hey Ash remember that thing last night that didn't classify as a Pokemon?"
" Hey yeah mabey that was a digi-mon!" Ash pulled out Dexter and tried to recall the image of the creature from the night before. " Is this a digi-mon Matt?" asked Ash as he showed the picture of Etamon to him. Matt leapt up when he saw the picture.
" That's Etamon!, where did you get this picture!?!" cried Matt
" We saw it last night in the woods a way off, we could not beat it though." Said Ash.
" If your are saying that you saw this Digi-mon last night we can be in very Big trouble!" said Matt, a worried tone in his voice, " Tell me did it sound like a bad Elvis impersonator?"
" Actually it did" said Misty.
" This is bad..." said Matt." I think you guys better listen to this." Matt sat down and began to tell them about Etamon and the digi-world.
"Haw, that's the last of the little buggers!" said Etamon as he slammed the door to the truck shut. Inside the truck were Patamon, Agumon, Gomamon, Gabumon, Piyomon, Palamon and Tentomon all in cages.
" There is only 7 of them?" said James as he locked the door. " But they seem so small and weak."
" Yeah but they can do something you dolts can't and that's evolve at will, now quit yer yappin It's time for phase two!" snapped Etamon.
" Y-y-yes sir! " stammered James as he scooted to the cab of the truck. Once he was in he turned to Jesse and Meowth. " Now he wants us to take him to a power plant for phase 2, what's next?!" wailed James
" Oh boy the boss is not going to like this!" moaned Jesse
" He's meaner then the real Boss is! I don't know why we decided to work with him in the first place!" wailed Meowth
At the back of the truck , Etamon pulled out a flat black object. It was a black gear , but this one had strange writing on it and seemed evil. Etamon smirked as he pocketed the gear and climbed up on top of the truck. "Now mush I say!" cried Etamon as he cracked a whip. James began to drive down the road towards the Viridian Power plant with Etamon riding them all the way.
In the back of the truck the digi-mon began to wake up. " How are we going to get out of here?" said Agumon to tired to even stand.
" And how are we going to find our friends?" said Palamon
" And where are we?" said Patamon, obviously the most worried of the bunch.
" Don't worry Patamon, they come and find us." Reassured Gabumon
"And we can beat Etamon again!" said Tentomon.
" But how they help us if they can't find us?" said Gomamon.
" Must you ruin everything?" scorned Piyomon.
Gomamon smirked ," What we need is a plan..."
