Later, after the movie, and ever since Jia Li and Kudamon joined in, the entire group were having their meal, and boy did they enjoy it.

Gon: This is really good!

Sisu: It sure is!

Rayla: You're getting better at this, Boun.

Boun: Thanks, but I had quite the help from Jia Li.

When everyone entered the large dining room, Boun became ecstatic with the amount of ingredients in the kitchen, so Oragonking gave him permission to use it. He wasn't the only one as Jia Li also came to help. With each other's knowledge, along with the help of the others, Digimon and Dragons alike, they prepared the best meal ever.

Oragonking: I get that everyone's satisfied with their meals?

And indeed they sure are as they all sat back on their seats in the theater with full bellies, especially Snotlout and the Thorston Twins. Agumon has a big belly as well.

Agumon: That was the best that I ever ate!

Oragonking: Alright! It's time for the next episode of our movie to start!

In the near future, the Human World is connected by a network.

Inhabiting it is an unknown life form called Digimon.


Lucas and his friends continued on their search for the Holy Digimon.

They then crossed paths with a girl named Jia Li and her partner Kudamon, who were being chased by a Centarumon.

They then learned that Centarumon was being manipulated by Sangloupmon to hunt down the children.

After a difficult battle with Sangloupmon, Jai Li gained the confidence to fight and got her own Digivice, who's light evolved Kudamon into Reppamon.

With a new member in their group, Lucas and his friends continued towards the sea and crossed over to Cloud Continent.


-Digital World-

Sometime after traveling with their new friends, Jia Li and Kudamon, the group were now resting as they took a moment to eat something, while Kim was sitting on a handmade chair beneath a large leaf that covers her from the Sun as she calmly took a sip from her tea.

Ezran: Since when did they have the time to make that?

Callum: I don't know, Ez. And I couldn't believe they had an easy time, even more than our journey!

Rayla clearly remembers that as she and the Princess faced an even greater enemy… lack of faith and trust.

Kim: You sure have improved, Palmon! It's as tasty as the real Golden Tippy!

Kim turned to Palmon, who's holding a leaf on her hand as if she was a real Butler.

Palmon: Thanks, Mimi! But Jia Li also helped me out as well!

Palmon turned to the Chinese girl, as she was eating with the others.

Jia Li: I may know a thing or two about cooking.

Lucas: Well in my opinion, you're a great cook!

Agumon: I'll say! These snacks are yummy!

Biyomon: Uh-huh!

Tuffnut: I want snacks!

The Riders of New Berk hushed at him to be quiet.

Thanks to Jia Li, she has prepared by cooking a few fruits into something delicious, which Agumon and Biyomon are happily eating. Even Kudamon seemed to enjoy it too.

Emily: Seriously, what a peaceful moment… Wait, should we be taking our time having tea like this?

Rayla: I agree… a little.

Kim: Mi Abuelito told me that traders who rush make less money.

The others were a little surprised at Kim's words before turning to Palmon.

Emily: Palmon, how much further is the sea from here?

Palmon: It's right there.

Emily and Lucas: What?


-Ocean ServerBeach, Digital World-

After finishing with their meal, the group moved on, and just like Palmon said, the sea was right there in front of them.

Everyone was excited that they managed to reach the sea.

Tuffnut: So they were already close to the beach?

Zephyr: It looks pretty.

Jia Li: So this is the Digital World's sea?

Kudamon: Yes, it's also known as the Ocean Server for us.

Kudamon said as he was on Jia Li's shoulders, while his tail was wrapped around her waist.


Episode 8: The name's James Acquarone


Agumon: Do you see the Continent?

Both Lucas, Agumon, and Emily were on Birdramon's legs as she flew above the ocean, trying to get a view from the Cloud Continent as Lucas tried to look with his monocular.

Lucas: I can't see anything yet.

Hiccup: You know, from experience, a continent would still be very far even by flying.

The other Riders nodded at him as they all remembered their long trek to new locations until they reached an island that they named Dragon's Edge.

Emily: Birdramon, aren't we heavy?

Birdramon: I'm fine! I just hope it's a distance I can fly across…

Birdramon batted her wings as she flew on ahead. Back at the beach, Kim and Jai Li stayed and waited for the others to come back. They are both resting on handmade loungers, with a giant leaf blocking out the Sun for them. Palmon was standing beside Kim while Kudamon rested on Jia Li.

Callum: Seriously, when do they have the time to make those?!

Back with the others, Lucas noticed something strange through his monocular.

Lucas: What's that?

Emily: What's wrong?

Lucas: That?

Emily and Agumon looked to where Lucas was pointing and saw a whirlpool in the ocean's water.

Suddenly, in the middle of the whirlpool was a glowing red marking, which Emily noticed.

Callum: Deja vu?

Rayla: Uh huh…

The two along with Ezran and Bait knew what's coming next.

Emily: Huh?

Suddenly, three black orbs were shot out of the water and went straight at Birdramon.

Emily: Watch out!

Birdramon dodged them along with a few more, but this movement caused Emily to lose her grip and was now falling towards the sea.

Emily: AAAAAAAAH!

Lucas: Emily!

Birdramon: Emily!

Before Birdramon took any action, two more orbs were shot from the whirlpool, hitting her wings and splattered, revealing that they were ink.

Fishlegs: Is that ink?!

Hiccup: That pretty much tells what they are dealing with!

Birdramon: AAAAAAAAAH!

Since the attack hit her wings, Birdramon could no longer keep herself in the air and crashed into the ocean. Lucas then emerged as he looked around for his friends.

Lucas: Emily! Agumon!

Agumon then came out of the water as he turned to Lucas.

Agumon: I'm alright!

Emily: Lucas! Agumon!

The two then looked and felt relieved as they saw Emily swimming towards them.

Lucas: Emily! I'm glad you're okay!

Emily then noticed that there was someone missing.

Emily: Where's Birdramon?

Biyomon suddenly emerged from the water, having reverted and was now unconscious as Emily grabbed her in her arms.

Emily: Biyomon!

Suddenly, two white tentacle pads with three black claws shot out of the water and went straight at them.

Hiccup: Yep! A really big Calamari!

Lucas: Swim!

The group tried to swim away as fast as they can, but the tentacles were catching on.

But just before they could grab them.

?: Fish Power!

Emerging from beneath kids was an army of colorful Fishes, who helped them get away right before the tentacle pad grabbed them.

Ezran: Huh? Where did those fishes come from?

Eli: And why are they helping them?

Emily: Fishes?

Everyone was confused as to where these Fishes came from, until someone emerged from the water in front of them.

It looked like a white, furry Sea Lion with no nose and long ears, purple markings, an orange-red mane, large claws, a short tail like a Sea Otter, and a W-shaped smile with two pointy teeth popping out.

?: Follow me!

Lunnajane: Something tells me that Digimon is the one who called them.

The new Digimon led the kids riding the Fishes back to safety.

Lucas and the others were sitting on the sand as they recovered from the ordeal, while Emily was checking on the unconscious Biyomon.

Lucas: We're saved…

At that moment, Biyomon opened her blue eyes, to Emily's relief.

Emily: Biyomon, are you okay?

Biyomon: Yes, I'm glad you're okay too.

Jia Li: What happened?

Everyone turned to see Jia Li and the others running towards them after seeing Birdramon crash in the water.

Lucas: We don't really know. Something squiggly came out of a whirlpool.

?: That's Gesomon.

Everyone turned to the Digimon that saved them as he came out of the water.

Lucas: Gesomon?

Kudamon: I've heard of Gesomon. They are known as the White Demon of the Depths.

Tuffnut: Ooh! Scary name! That's awesome!

Ruffnut: Yeah!

?: That's right! They're vicious Digimon who dwell at the bottom of the sea. When anyone tries to cross the strait, Gesomon attacks like that.

Everyone understood now why they were attacked, though Kim suddenly had a question.

Kim: And you are?

?: The name's Gomamon!

Lucas: So you're the one who saved us!

Emily: Thank you. You have some amazing powers!

Gomamon blushed at that compliment.

Snotlout: Please… My Hookfang can easily eat those Fish for breakfast!

Hookfang agreed as he looked hungrily at those Fishes on the screen. But then…

?: Fish Power!

Before they knew it, both Snotlout and Hookfang were dragged away by the same colorful Fishes. The shocked audience looked at them before turning to the culprits.

Kim: Gomamon? James?

James: Hi, everyone!

Gomamon: Yo!

Oragonking: Some way to make yourselves known.

Gomamon: I didn't like how they talked about my Fish friends.

Gomamon and James then sat with their friends to continue watching the movie, while Snotlout and Hookfang were still being dragged by the Fishes.

Snotlout: Somebody, help!

Hookfang: (Panicked Roars)...!

Gomamon: Fish Power! It's my special technique! You guys must be the Digidestined.

The others were surprised at Gomamon knowing about that.

Emily: You know about us?!

Gomamon: Yeah, because I have a partner too.

Lucas: A partner… Oh! A Human?!

Emily: That means another child who'll find the Holy Digimon with us.

Gomamon: Well, supposedly…

Everyone noticed Gomamon's change of tone in his voice.


-Blake's House, Mission Bend, Houston, Texas, United States-

Back in the Real World at Lucas' House, the Sun was setting as Mrs. Blake was preparing something to eat while Lucy was in the living room watching the news, which is talking about the mass blackout incident again.

Newswoman: There are no signs of power returning to the City yet. The power outage has spread to every part of Houston…

Suddenly, the power went out.

Mrs. Blake: Oh, the microwave stopped! What a problem…

Lucy heard what her mother was saying, but she also noticed that despite the power being out, the TV was still going on.

Lucas: Things are really going bad back home.

Emily: Yeah…

Jia Li: I hope things are still fine when we make it in time.


-The Network-

Inside the Network, Kabuterimon continued flying towards the tunnels with Mike on his head, as the boy continued checking the situation back at home from his laptop.

Dak: How long will it take for you to reach the Digital World? The others were transported there the same day as you, right?

Mike: There are still some mysteries about the Digital World and its connection to the Network that we don't know about yet.

Newswoman: Experts say that if there's a delay in recovery, there's a fear that the City of Houston will cease to operate in a few days…

Kabuterimon: Ugh, things are becoming worse and worse.

Mike knew that was true as he looked up at the path ahead.

Mike: We must hurry and join Lucas and the others!


-Ocean ServerBeach, Digital World-

Back with Lucas, Emily, Kim, Jia Li, and their Digimon, they all stood in front of a hut made of green palm leaves as they started in confusion.

Sleeping on a hammock made of leaves was a 13 year old boy that was sleeping soundly. He has short dark brown hair. Tanned skin and wears a blue buttoned T-Shirt with a pocket on its left and orange shorts. He wears a white and dark blue sneakers with white socks.

Callum: You were sleeping…

James: Hey! The others were also relaxed as well, remember?

Callum: Good point.

Kim: Is this guy sleeping?

Jia Li: Probably tired, perhaps?

Lucas: Should we wake him up?

Gomamon did just that as he pulled his arm that's hanging out of the hammock.

Gomamon: James, wake up! I've brought the other Digidestined.

Suddenly, the boy known as James quickly got up, startling the others as he screamed.

James: AAAAAAH! Calamari!

Fishlegs: Calamari? Is he talking about Gesomon?

James started to feel a little embarrassed at seeing that part.

James: I can't believe everyone is seeing this...

James then calmed down as he looked at Gomamon, as well as the surprised look of a few new faces.

James: Oh, Gomamon? What 's going? And who are they?

Snapping out of their surprised look, the others introduced themselves.

Lucas: I- I'm Lucas Blake.

Emily: I'm Emily Rose.

Kim: Kimberly "Kim" Rosales.

Jai Li: I'm Jia Li Bai. Nice to meet you.

The Digimon also introduced themselves as well.

Agumon: I'm Agumon!

Biyomon: Biyomon!

Palmon: Palmon here!

Kudamon: My name is Kudamon.

James was surprised to see other Humans besides himself here.

James: I didn't expect there were other Humans here. I thought I was the only one!

The kids were surprised to hear that.

Lucas: Huh? You mean you don't know the reason why you're here?

James: I don't know. Should I?

Emily: Just like Jia Li and I, James took a while to get his Digivice.

A while later, the kids were sitting inside the hut and told James of everything that's happening in Houston, as well as the reason why they are in the Digital World to begin with.

Emily: At this rate, Houston will be in big trouble… And that problem is caused by someone here in the Digital World.

Kim: So, they say we need to go and stop that.

James: We? You mean us?

Lucas nodded at that as he looked at him.

Lucas: Let's go find the Holy Digimon together! We need you and Gomamon's help!

James started to think carefully about that.

James: So that's why I'm here…

The boy then remembered that he didn't introduce himself.

James: Oh, the name's James Acquarone. I'm 13 years old.

Lucas and Emily were surprised to hear that.

Lucas: That means you're a year older than me! The other girls are as well!

Emily then realised something as she remembers that she saw James before.

Emiy: Oh, come to think of it, I might've seen him at our recent camping trip…

Boun: He was at the camping trip? How did we miss that?

Lucas: There were many kids there.

Lucas then remembered that as well as he saw James among the many children of his School coming to Lake Houston Wilderness Park.

Lucas: You're right! That means he attends the same School as us!

James: Sorry, but I'm not joining.

The kids were surprised when James said those words.

That sure surprised some of the audience.

Callum, Rayla, Ezran: What?!

Hiccup and Astrid: What?!

Dak and Leyla: What?!

Dragons: What?!

Raya and Sisu: What?!

Lucas: Huh?! Why?!

James got up as he looked at them.

James: As awesome as it sounds going on an adventure, how can we be sure that we can succeed or even go back home?

Ezran: We didn't knew if we'll ever succeed in bringing Zym back to his Mother. With all the dangers we encounted.

That got the others there as they have no idea how to go back home. James then turned around… and hit his head on the wooden pillar of the hut, to everyone's shock.

Lucas, Emily, Kim, Jia Li: EH?!

The Thorston were clearly enjoying the show.

Ruffnut: Why is he hitting himself?

James: I'm just a kid who loves playing sports with others, and I surprisingly do well in my studies, but ever since I came here I came into trouble one after the other!

James continued banging his head on the wooden pillar while the others are worried that the hut will come down on them.

Cutter: If he keeps that up he'll bring the hut down.

James: And now when I was just taking a swim I became afraid of Calamari! Seriously! I can't take a break and now I am afraid of Sushi! And that is something I eat with my family back home!

The kids and Digimon got out of the hut just when James hit the pillar with his hands, which was enough to bring the whole hut down… with James still inside.

The kids looked at James that was underneath the palm trees with swirls in his eyes.

The audience was silent when they saw all of that. James covered his eyes in embarrassment as Gomamon patted him on the back to comfort him.

Kim: Are we really taking this guy with us?

Lucas scratched his cheek as he laughed nervously.

After James got back up, he tried to rebuild his hut, while Gomamon tried to change his mind.

Gomamon: Let 's go, James! You came to this world and met me, because you have an important role! We're partn…

James: You've been a great help.

Gomamon: Huh?

Gomamon got confused as James got his bag out of the wrecked hut.

James: I do appreciate it, but… I don't ever remember you and I becoming partners.

Fishlegs: I know it was asked before… but how are you so sure that you are partners?

The Digimon had no clear answer to that.

Gomamon became saddened at what James said. The other Digimon also felt sorry for him.

Lucas: Listen, James. I know it's dangerous, and we can't force you to come, but we're the only ones that can do this.

James: If you guys try to fight Gesomon, then I can't help you there. Remember when I said that I was afraid of Calamari now?

James recalled what happened… in doodle drawings.


-Flashback-

James: I was taking a swim in the beach until I was suddenly grabbed by Gesomon and dragged down.

James and Gomamon were happily enjoying themselves in the water until Gesomon's tentacles grabbed him and dragged him underwater leaving Gomamon shocked.

James: Fortunately, Gomamon went and saved me.

Gomamon went underwater, and a moment later he came out with James in his arms as he swam with him to safety.


-End of Flashback-

Gon: Oh, so that's why he's afraid of Calamari.

The kids now understood James' fear.

Jia Li: So that's why you're afraid of Calamari.

James: That's why I wouldn't be of any help to you guys.

Gomamon: James…

Gomamon became sad again as James looked at him.

James: Gomamon, you can go with them. I'm going to stay here.

Gomamon felt a little hurt that James wouldn't come as Lucas watched this.

James then whispered to Gomamon.

James: Sorry I hurt your feelings, Gomamon.

Gomamon: It's alright, James.


The kids left James as they went back to the beach, looking at the spot where Gesomon last attacked them.

Lucas: As long as Gesomon's there, we can't cross this strait. We have to chase Gesomon away somehow.

Kim: But how?

Lucas crossed his arms as he tried to think of a plan, but then Emily noticed that there was someone missing.

Emily: Wait, where 's Jai Li and Kudamon?

Jia Li: I went to have a little talk with James.

The others noticed that the Chinese girl and her Digimon weren't with them.


Back to where James was, the boy continued trying to fix his broken hut while Gomamon watched.

Gomamon: Are you really not going with the others?

James didn't look at Gomamon as he continued working on his hut.

James: Even if I did, there'd be nothing I could do to help. Then I should just stay here and do what I need to do to find a way back home.

Gomamon was very sad at that… until he felt someone pick him up.

Jia Li: I know what you're going through.

James turned around and saw Jia Li with Kudamon on her shoulders, while holding Gomamon in her arms.

James: You're Jia Li, right?

The Chinese girl nodded as she continued.

Jai Li: My family are both Doctors. I learned a lot of them, and because of that, I don't like fighting. That's why I thought that I wouldn't be of any use to Lucas and the others.

James smiled as he thought that Jia Li was the same as him.

James: So you want to go back home too?

To his surprise, Jia Li shook her head at that.

Jia Li: I actually found a reason to fight and was able to help my new friends.

Jia Li remembers the first time when Kudamon Digivolved to Reppamon.

Jai Li: I realised that day that I can help others. Tell me, James, what reason do you need to help others?

James was surprised at that question as he looked away and thought about it.

James: I… I don't know…

Gomamon looked at his partner while Jia Li caressed his head.

Jai Li: You don't have to rush it. I know you'll find the answer, just like I did.

With that she turned around, bringing Gomamon with her. James turned around as he watched them go.

Kudamon: That Pep talk Jia Li did gave him the motivation to come. As expected from my partner.

Jia Li smiled as she scratched Kudamon's head which he enjoyed as he pressed on her cheeks.


Back with the others, they all sat on a log as Lucas told them what they should do.

Lucas: Biyomon, you should stay and rest for a while. Let's team up with Agumon and Palmon. We have no chance in the ocean, but if we're on land… We'll draw Gesomon out here!

Agumon stood up as he agreed with the plan.

Agumon: Okay, then victory will be ours! We'll fight for Biyomon too!

Palmon: Leave it to us!

Biyomon felt grateful for them.

Biyomon: Agumon… Palmon…

Gomamon: If that's the plan, I'll be the bait to draw Gesomon over.

Ezran: You made yourself bait? Isn't that dangerous?

Gomamon: Someone had to do it.

Rayla: But that's reckless! And I know because I tried that myself to lure away an angry old Sun Dragon!

The kids and Digimon were surprised to see Gomamon's in Jia Li's arms as she and Kudamon returned from James.

Kim: Gomamon?

Gomamon: I'll use my Fish Power to taunt and lure Gesomon over here.

Lucas: Gomamon, what about James?

Gomamon just shook his head at that.

Gomamon: James… is going through a lot in his mind. That's why I'm gonna help everyone out for James right now!

Unknown to everyone, James actually followed him and Jia Li back to the beach without them knowing. Right now he was hiding behind a boulder as he heard their conversation.

Zubeia: Your faith in this Human came through.


Gomamon was now swimming in the water as he enacted the first part of the plan.

Gomamon: Fish Power!

At his command, colorful fishes swam behind Gomamon as he led them.

As they swam further into the sea, the whirlpool appeared again as Gesomon sensed their presence.

Gomamon: Here it comes!

Gomamon swam a little close to the whirlpool where Gesomon is hiding.

Gomamon: Hey, Gesomon! Over here!

Hearing his prey nearby, Gesmon's tentacle pad rose out of the whirlpool and went straight at his prey. Gomamon dived in time while the fish scattered as the tentacled pad grabbed only empty water.

The audience held their breaths, hoping that Gomamon wouldn't get caught.

Gomamon came out of the water a little far ahead as he taunted Gesomon again.

Gomamon: C'mon, over here! If you want me, come and get me!

The tentacle pad went back under the whirlpool, and just as Gomamon swam away, the whirlpool began chasing after him.

Zephyr: That whirlpool is following him?!

Nuffink: Cool!

Gomamon watched the whirlpool following him when all of a sudden, Gesomon attacked him with both tentacle pads and landed on Gomamon.

But a little ahead, Gomamon rose back out of the water as he barely escaped, but knew that he must continue swimming away.

Back at the beach, while looking through his Monocular, Lucas saw the whirlpool chasing after Gomamon as he was leading Gesomon straight towards them.

Lucas: I see the whirlpool!

Lucas and the others were standing on a cliff as they watched.

Lucas: Good, they're coming this way!

Jia Li: Gomamon, keep it up!

Gesomon then launched a few ink balls above the water, and they nearly landed straight near Gomamon as he struggled to continue swimming.

Back at the beach James was watching all this happening while still being hidden by a rock. He couldn't help but worry about the danger Gomamon is in.

James: Gomamon…

Gomamon continued swimming ahead as he was nearly reaching the beach.

Gomamon: Just a little further…

But then suddenly, he was hit by a tentacle pad from underwater and sent flying in the air. Lucas looked out of his monocular as he watched Gomamon with worry.

Lucas: Gomamon!

The audience became worried as well when they saw Gomamon flying.

Sisu: That gotta hurt!

Gomamon was sent flying so far from the sea that he landed harsly on the sandy beach, getting a few scratches.

James: Gomamon!

No longer having any reason to hide, James came out of his hiding spot and ran to check on Gomamon as he crouched and picked him in his arms.

James: Are you okay?! Hang in there!

Gomamon opened his eyes and looked at James, happy that he came after all.

Gomamon: James…

Lucas: Get out, James! Hurry and get away from there! Take Gomamon with you!

Hearing Lucas saying that, James was about to stand up, until…

Gesomon: (Roar)...!

Hearing that roar, James looked to see a pillar of water rising from the whirlpool as Gesomon finally revealed himself.

Coming out of the water was a giant white Squid with grey markings on the front of his mantle. There are also metal tubes wrapped around his mantle and jaws where the mantle meets the arms. Aside from having two tentacle pads with three claws, he also has eight small tentacles that he uses to stand on.

Gesomon: (Roar)...!

Burlpe: Wow! That is one big Squid!

Summer: It's a Calamari, Burple. And yes, it's big!

Aggro: Good thing we don't have them back home!

Gesomon was coming on land and this was James que to leave with Gomamon.

Kim: That's Gesomon?!

Biyomon: We only saw the tentacles earlier.

Emily: But now, the whole thing is here!

Now that Gesomon is on the beach, they turn towards their Digimon partners who are ready to fight.

Lucas: Agumon!

Kim: You're on, Palmon!

Jia Li: You too, Kudamon!

Agumon, Palmon, Kudamon: Yeah!

They all jumped off the cliff as they started to Digivolve.

"Agumon, Digivolve to… Greymon!"

"Palmon, Digivolve to… Togemon!"

"Kudamon, Digivolve to… Reppamon!"

Gesomon noticed the new enemies standing in front of him. As they were confronting, James hid behind another rock as he checked on Gomamon.

James: Gomamon… why did you do something so reckless?

Rayla: That's what I said!

Gomamon: I was… waiting for a long time…

James: What?

The boy was surprised to hear that. Back in the fight, Reppamon charged and pounced on Gesomon, pushing him far to the ground before jumping back to the others. It was then Togemon's turn to jump as she started spinning around and launched her needles.

Togemon: Needle Spray!

Gesomon covered himself with his tentacle pads as the needles stuck on them.

Burple: That's gotta hurt!

Greymon: Nova Blast!

The ball of fire Greymon launched went straight at Gesomon. But before it could hit, Gesomon jumped back into the water and dodged the fireball. Togemon, Greymon, and Reppamon closed in on the water to search for him, only for a tentacle pad came underwater and wrapped itself around Togemon.

Kim: Togemon!

Kyle: Gesomon is quite resilient.

Gabumon: They need one more so they can beat him.

The tentacle dragged Togemon into the water as Greymon and Reppamon went to help her.

Reppamon: We're coming, Togemon!

But then a ball of black ink came out of the water and knocked Reppamon away.

Reppamon: GAAAH!

Then the second tentacle pad appeared and wrapped around Greymon. The Dinosaur Digimon launched flames on the tentacle to free himself, but it held strong.

Lucas: Those tentacles gave us quite the trouble. More so if he's able to use eight of them.

Back with James and Gomamon, the Digimon continued his explanation to James.

Gomamon: I was looking forward to it, always wondering what kind of Human my partner would be. That's why, when I finally met you, James… I was really happy.

Gomamon clearly remembered that day, when he found James lying unconscious on the ground. Later, somehow Gomamon built a hut and put James on a bed of leaves while covering him with more of them. James then woke up, wondering where he was, until Gomamon showed up carrying fruits for him to eat.

James: Weren't you disappointed? To find you were waiting for a Human like me?

Gomamon got himself out of James' arms as he looked at him.

Gomamon: No, that's not true!

James: Gomamon?

James was surprised as Gomamon continued.

Gomamon: That's not true at all…


-Flashback-

James and Gomamon were running away from an angry Stegosaurus-like Digimon with multiple sharp blades on its back. The blades then came off its back and flew straight at the two runaways. The explosion hit Gomamon as he was sent flying.

Gomamon: AAAAAAAH!

James: Gomamon!

A while later, Gomamon opened his eyes and was surprised to see that he was on James' bed. He also noticed a white towel wrapped around his injured right arm. He looked around and spotted James sleeping near him with his head sleeping on the edge of the bed.


-End of Flashback-

Eli: You stood by his side this whole time?

James: I did. After everything he has done for me.

Gomamon: I was waiting for no one else but you, James. I think so myself, so there's no mistake!

Back with Greymon, he continued firing Nova Blasts until he was thrown back towards the beach, although he landed safely on his two feet. He fired more Nova Blasts again at Gesomon, who still held Togemon in his tentacles while he swiped the Nova Blasts away with his other one.

Hiccup: He can swat away fireballs?!

Reppamon then jumped to pounce on him again, only for Gesomon to fire a ball of ink again, knocking Reppamon off the air.

Reppamon: GAH!

Gesomon then fired more black ink balls again, this time at Greymon, who managed to block it with his arm, but one went past him and hit the rock where James and Gomamon were hiding. The attack cracked the rock, but not enough to break it completely.

Gomamon: That was really close, James.

James: Uhuh...

Still safe, James looked at Gomamon as he held his hands on his shoulders.

James: Gomamon, are you okay?

Gomamon: What you need to do in this world is not something you need to get done by yourself, James. You have others like Lucas, and you have me too. We'll do it together! So don't worry!

James listened in awe at Gomamon as he remembered all the things that they have done together. From their first meeting, while building the hammock, to eating together in a campfire.

James: You're right, Gomamon. I wasn't alone, because you were there for me in this world. If I were by myself, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it here.

Joy filled Gomamon's heart when James said those words.

James: Gomamon, You're my…

James shook his head as he rectified his words.

James: I'm your partner!

At those words, a certain icon appeared, and then a silver-grey light came out of his left pocket on his T-Shirt. James pulled it out and saw it was a Digivice. The light on the screen was glowing so bright that it engulfed Gomamon.

Mike: He's got his Digivice!

Tentomon: Which means that they are really partners!

"Gomamon, Digivolve to…"

Gomamon's body turned grey as the fur on his face started to grow and two fangs protruded from his upper mouth. His legs also grew as well and then a horn jutted out of his head. The grey light left his body into data particles as he charged at Gesomon, who tried to push each other back with their claws and tentacles, until the new Digimon tackled Gesomon back into the water.

Lucas: Who is that?!

The new Digimon resembles a cross between a Walrus and a Polar Bear with blue eyes. He has long ears and white fur with black paws and red claws, and on his head is a single black horn.

"Ikkakumon!"

James came out of hiding as he looked at Gomamon's new form.

James: Ikkakumon…

Tuffnut: Man! He really looks very furry!

Ruffnut: And that also means they're so soft. I wish I had my axe so I can shave 'em.

Gesomon stretched out his tentacle pads around Ikkakumon and dragged him into the water as the group watched them vanish beneath the waves.

James: Ikkakumon!

Oragonking: Fortunately, Ikkakumon can breathe underwater.

Underwater, Gesomon continued to drag Ikkakumon deeper into the water, before the white furred Digimon charged instead of moving back and tackled Gesomon, slamming him into a rocky wall behind him.

Gesomon let go as he tried to get away, but Ikkakumon wouldn't make that easy.

Ikkakumon: You're not getting away! Harpoon Torpedo!

Ikkakumon fired his black horn off his head like a missile, which then opened up to reveal a green organic missile with a red top in it as it picked up speed and hit behind Gesomon and exploded. The force of the explosion was strong enough to send Gesomon flying out of the ocean and fell face first on the very cliff the kids were standing on.

Astrid: His horn can be fired?

Gomamon: Yep! And reloaded every time I use it.

Gesomon then struggled to get up as Ikkakumon came out of the water with Togemon on his back as he picked her up.

Kim: Togemon!

Hearing her name, Togemon charged in with her right box glove ready.

Togemon: Coconut Punch!

Gesomon, however, was able to stop the strong blow with his tentacle pad. But this still left him open for an attack.

Lucas: Greymon!

Greymon: Nova Blast!

Greymon fired a stream of fire that hit Gesomon on the side while Togemon moved out of the way. Knocking that he can no longer win, Gesomon hopped on his small tentacles as he tried to escape back into the water.

Tuffnut: Hahaha! Look at him hop!

Ikkakumon: I'll finish you! Harpoon Torpedo!

Ikkakumon fired his horn again, but just like with the Nova Blast, Gesomon swiped the horn away and continued his escape. Unknown to him, the horn revealed the missile in it as it changed direction and went after Gesomon like a hover missile, hitting behind his back again.

Namaari: An attack that will continue to chase them like prey.

Gesomon: (Pained shriek)...!

Defeated, Gesomon started sinking underwater, leaving a trail of ink behind.

With Gesomon finally defeated, Lucas and the others went to the beach and towards James.

Ezran: They managed to defeat him!

Jia Li: James!

Kim: That Digimon's strong!

James: Yeah, since Ikkakumon's my partner.

Ikkakumon: (Roar)...

Ikkakumon let out a happy roar, glad that he and James are finally partners.


-Ocean Server-

Thanks to Ikkakumon being a swimmer, the kids and their Digimon were sitting on his back as they are now heading towards the Cloud Continent. James was standing on Ikkakumon's head in the front.

Ezran: That would have made a better transport to cross the sea. Even Rayla can relax and rest.

Rayla wanted to argue with that, but realised that Ezran has a point as Ikkakumon would have made a comfy and relaxing ride, even in the water.

James: All right! Now that I'm coming along, let's find this so-called Holy Digimon fast!

Lucas: James, you're up for it all of a sudden.

James turned to look at Lucas.

James: Well, we don't have much time! The faster we finish this, I could bring Gomamon to our world! Heck, I'll even introduce him to Fre… Whoa!?

James suddenly slipped and fell into the water, as Ikkakumon stopped to look at him along with the others.

Kim: He flopped!

Jia Li: He really flopped!

Emily: James flopped!

Lucas: He's flopped!

James came out of the water and was annoyed as he heard everyone say "flopped".

James: Don't say I flopped!

All the Humans and Digimon couldn't help but laugh at him as he continued ranting in the water.

The audience also laughed as well as James felt a little embarrassed. Snotlout and Hookfang also laughed aa the finally were freed from the Fishes.

Snotlout: That is some flop! (Laughs)...

Oragonking: On to the next video!
