Episode 9
THE HUNT RESUMES
"When Tai and the ninth Digidestined, Lily, were transported to the Digiworld, they were separated but found each other right away. Lily met a little horse-like Digimon called Auramon who eventually claimed to be her partner. Tai had a lot of explaining to do, but fortunately Lily didn't freak out. Well, not much, anyway." -Kari
Izzy and Tentomon were huffing and puffing as they fought their way up a steep hill. It was a desolate area with few plants and a lot of rock walls.
"Izzy," Tentomon said, "why does it...pant...seem like we're always...wheeze...walking uphill?"
"Because you could use the exercise," Izzy said wearily, gamely trying to joke.
Tentomon stopped walking and plopped down in the middle of the trail. "That's it," he said. "I don't want to walk anymore. I don't know why we're going up this hill in the first place."
"Because we want to see if we recognize the landscape from up top," Izzy explained patiently for the hundreth time.
"If only I could digivolve," Tentomon grumbled. "Then we could simply fly up. But I'm hungry and tired and I just don't have any strength."
Izzy wasn't listening. "Do you smell smoke?"
Tentomon raised his head. "Now that you mention it, I do. Maybe a fire means someone's cooking!"
Then, off from around the bend, they heard: "MARCHING FISHES! That's right, little guys, c'mon up!"
"That's Gomamon!" Izzy and Tentomon yelled. Their energy ruined, they raced around the bend and
came upon a stream, Joe, and Gomamon, who was busy swiping fish out of the water.
"Izzy, it's you!" Joe yelled happily. He was holding a stick over the fire with a charred fish on the end.
"C'mon, guys, have some grub!" Gomamon added. "I don't like eating my friends but there's not much else around here sooo..."
Izzy and Tentomon didn't need a second invitation.
******************
Tai, Lily, Agumon and their newest Digimon friend Auramon headed through the forest, looking for food.
"It's important that the Digimon eat so that they have the strangth to digivolve," Tai explained to Lily as they went along, picking up as much food as they could carry.
"So when are you going to digivolve, Auramon?" Lily asked.
She shook her head. "I don't know. It could be soon or it could be a while from now. It depends."
"On what?"
"We Digimon digivolve to defend our human partners," Agumon explained. "In order for Auramon to digivolve, you need to be in a situation where you're in great danger."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Gee, that sounds like fun."
"And of course, I have to be well-rested and fed," Auramon added. "Digivolving is a difficult process and it takes a long time for it to happen naturally."
"So what DOES happen when you digivolve?" Lily demanded.
"Well, we get larger, and our attack power increases," Auramon explains.
"When it happens naturally, Digimon usually stay in the stage they've digivolved to," Tai added.
"So how come Agumon's still a Rookie?" Lily pointed out. "I'm assuming he's digivolved to a higher stage."
"Yep, Agumon's gone all the way to Mega," Tai said proudly. "But when they digivolve with help from their human partners, they only temporarily gain the energy needed to do it, which they then use up in a fight. Then they usually dedigivolve to the Rookie stage."
Lily looked at Auramon. "Are you a Rookie?"
"Yep," Auramon said. "I digivolved from my In-Training stage, Tiramon, just a little while ago. My next stage is Champion, but I guess I'll only be in that stage while fighting."
"What is your Champion level?" Lily asked.
"Well, I won't know until I become Champion," Auramon said.
"That's the fun of digivolving," Tai said. "It's like your birthday and Christmas rolled into together- it's always a big surprise!"
**********************
In Metaldragamon's cavern, Goromon and his master watched the ninth Digidestined and the other one.
"He has not given her the tag yet, sir," Goromon reported. "I suppose he is waiting for the right moment to tell her about the crests."
"We will wait until the ninth crest is found," Metaldragamon decided.
Goromon spun around, shocked. "But-but master! You have already allowed them to find the ninth child. Surely if they find the ninth crest, they will be ever more powerful!"
Metaldragamon glared at him. "What did I tell you about questioning my decisions, Goromon?!" he bellowed.
Goromon shut his mouth and turned away in disgust. *The fool,* he thought to himself. *How can he possibly believe that they will not be made stronger by the power of the ninth crest?*
"Kazikonzamon!" Metaldragamon snapped.
"Yes, my lord," came a slimy, smooth voice from the darkness.
"Go now," Metaldragamon ordered. "Attack them."
"At once, my lord." And the voice was quickly gone.
