Misty looked around the forest, herself and Ash stood. They were the only ones there. Something suddenly burst through the water. A monster of some sort.
"Ash, it's not a Pokemon" Misty screamed, terrified.
"We're not fighting it" distant voices called. Misty recognised them as the voices of the Digidestined.
"This is your world, not our problem" the voices called out again.
"We fight it ourselves," Ash yelled.
Tracey ran over to them and saw the monster.
"We gotta fight THAT?" he cried. Ash nodded and Misty stumbled backwards.
The monster fired something, like a beam. It was a red beam with small black floating triangles in it. It hit Ash and knocked him off his feet. His body landed with a thud next to Tracey.
"Misty, he's dead," Tracey yelled at her. She whipped her head around and saw the boy of her affections, lying lifeless on the ground. Her eyes welled with tears when she felt some thing slimy crawl around her neck. It slithered around her neck and tightened its grip. She was at a lack of air and began to make choking noises. The monster lifted her off the ground with his tail wrapped around her neck. She tried to pry the tail way from her neck but it was too tight and slippery. Her face started turning red and it was becoming next to impossible to breathe.
"Luuma ray" the monster yelled, firing the red beam at Tracy and killing him instantly.
"Help us," Misty made one last attempt to scream and made few weak arm motions trying to pry the tail away from her neck
Tai was getting up to talk to Sora about something that was important. Vitally important, well it was in his books. He saw her sitting on a log
"Hey Sora?" he began. Sora turned around and smiled at him.
"Hi Tai, you're not on Guard Duty next" she pointed out.
"I know but I wanted to speak to you"
"Sure"
"Well I, I have for some time felt that"
"Hey guys" Mimi chirped from behind them.
"That I will always be getting interrupted" he muttered.
"Mimi?" Sora asked, surprised to see Mimi up at this time and in a good mood.
"Yeah it's my turn at guard duty" Mimi explained, smiling.
"Maybe some other time" Tai said and walked off. Mimi watched him go and looked at Sora curiously.
"What may I ask was that about?" she inquired.
"He said he needed to speak to me but then he just walked off" Sora replied.
"Ooohh, I get it. You love him. " Mimi sang quietly.
"Shut up" Sora said, jokingly and gave Mimi a playful push. Sora walked off, smiling to herself and talking about girls being weird sometimes. Mimi smiled affectionately at the tomboy.
"That girl forgets that she's even a girl sometimes" Mimi mumbled.
The next day.
"Ok, we have the route made out so that even Ash couldn't lose his way" Tracey remarked. Everyone turned to face Ash.
"Ok so maybe I'm a better battler than traveller," he admitted sheepishly.
"So when we get to a town, what do we do?" Sora asked.
"Well we may be able to find someone who can help us in this particular situation" Tracey replied.
"So we should get going" Tai stated.
"Sounds like a plan to me" Ash agreed.
The group set off, trekking through the forest.
Everyone was talking to each other except for a certain hotheaded redhead who hadn't said anything all morning.
"She hasn't said a thing all morning, I was under the impression that nothing could keep her quiet and it's like nothing has kept her quiet" Matt remarked. Misty gave him a fierce glare but still didn't open her mouth.
"Are you ok?" Mimi asked.
"What would you care anyway?" she said, briefly and coldly. With that she whipped her head around and continued looking ahead, her arms folded across her chest and looking furious about something.
"Hey why are you mad? I haven't done anything" Ash protested, waiting till she walked beside him.
"I'm not mad at you" she snapped.
"But you're never mad at Tracey"
"I'm not mad at him"
Ash and Misty fell behind the rest of the group and were bringing up the rear.
The rest of the group had noticed Misty's refusal to talk to them.
They stopped for a short rest when Tai approached Ash.
"Ok everyone really wants to know. Why is she mad at us?"
Ash sighed and shook his heads.
"Because of a dream she had "
"You're kidding me"
"She was really upset and then she started going on about seeing something in the river but I'm not sure if it as in her dream or not"
"How can it be possibly even seem somewhat fair for us to be getting the cold shoulder because of what we did in someone else's dreams " Tai protested.
"She says that she'll deal with you in her dreams so until then she refuses to speak to you. At least she keeps things interesting" Ash said, showing a resigned smile.
The digidestined were all walking a short distance away from Ash, Misty and Tracey. They were discussing a plan they would have to undergo. Misty, Ash and Tracey all stopped walking and let out laughs of delight.
Unfortunately Joe was running towards them to find out why they stopped. What he didn't know was that they were standing a slightly muddy area, he couldn't stop and barrelling straight into Misty. He knocked Misty off balance and the two landed with a thud on a small ledge jutting out from the cliff. Misty sat up, rubbing her head.
"Are you ok?" Joe asked. Misty shot him a dangerous glare.
"Your not hurt or anything? Are you? Because my Dad's a doctor and I know about injuries" he explained, nervously. Misty continued to glare at him, coldly and Joe pushed his glasses up along his nose, worriedly.
"Well I'd say I was fine but really since the leader of our little ragtag trio brought you guys back, nothing has been fine. Everything has been completely chaotic and a lot of things aren't even making sense. You've crazied up everything" she growled, as she stood up.
"Hmm, catty, cranky, snappish, angry and intense dislike. Yup your back to normal" Joe replied.
Misty froze in fear; she saw a face in the bushes, a small monsters face. She started to shake and all colour drained from her face. Her eyes were wide. Joe looked at her, puzzled.
"I know I can be intimidating at times but I didn't mean to scare you that much" Joe remarked.
He saw that her terrified gaze was fixed on the bush behind him.
Misty continued to stare at it, it wasn't scary looking. It had these bright beautiful blue eyes and a pale yellow skin. That's all she could see, the eyes and some yellow.
"Who are you?" she asked, in terror.
Joe looked at her, alarmed.
"You might have a concussion, let me have a look. I'm Joe, do you remember?" he asked.
Ash, Tracey, Tai, Sora, Mimi, Tk, Matt, Kari and Izzy were all looking over the cliff. They saw the pair arguing then much to everyone's surprise, Misty backed away from the bush and tried to jump off the ledge. Joe grabbed her before she could and in response was given a black eye.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Joe yelled at her.
"Those eyes, their everywhere. I can't escape from them; they keep appearing and their trying to tell me something. WHO ARE YOU?" she cried.
"You'll find out" a haunting voice floated through the air.
Joe looked around and Misty stiffened.
"See, it's talking to us" Misty cried, fearfully.
"The guardians will know" the voice said, as it wafted through the air.
"What guardians?" Joe yelled.
"Who are you?" they both started yelling
On top of the cliff, the group was watching this, puzzled. They watched as the pair on the ledge started yelling out "Who are you?" "What do you mean?" "What's a guardian and why will they know?"
"I heard that altitude and pressure can influence people but I didn't think they meant psychologically." Izzy stated, wearing a wide-eyed, expression.
"But aren't we at a higher altitude than them?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, that's true and we aren't losing it" Matt added.
"Maybe their both crazy, and now their craziness is sort of feeding off each others craziness" Tracey suggested.
"Maybe they hit their heads" Kari pointed out.
"Are you guys alright?" Ash yelled down at them. Joe looked up while Misty lunged at the bush. Joe then dived at the bush too.
"Oh that's ok, they were only yelling at the bush and their just attacking the bush, see and all this time I thought they were just clinically insane but now it looks like I was wrong all along" Matt said,
Everyone dropped their heads and sighed but when they looked down again at the ledge they were both gone.
"They vanished?"
Misty landed with a thump on the ground and let out a yelp when she felt someone else land on her.
"Where are we?" Joe asked, looking around at the surroundings.
"Well your sitting on me" Misty began. Joe looked down and jumped up.
"Sorry" he said, quickly offering her a hand up.
"And I think a Pokemon must have transported us here using teleport but what Pokemon I don't know. Psyduck is in his Pokeball and he's the only psychic Pokemon I have. Other than him, I only have some water Pokemon and Togepi and I doubt that Togepi could.oh" Misty said, placing her hand to her mouth.
"Oh? Oh? What's oh? If you know whats going on then I demand an explanation. I'm pulling rank as the older and more responsible of us both," Joe cried, standing up and clenching his fists. Misty's eyes flashed and she stared right through him with a daring expression.
"Oh?" she growled.
"With your requested and approved permission," he added, nervously.
"I well everyone else will say I'm crazy"
"Hey everyone else thinks your crazy, you got nothing to lose"
"I'm beginning to dislike you as much as blondie way up there" Misty remarked, as she pointed to the now towering mountain hat stood before them.
"I get nose bleeds from very high distances"
"WE'RE on the GROUND, we were up there, I guess you just didn't realise how big the mountain we were climbing was"
"We were climbing a mountain?"
"Yeah the others said that maybe you should omit that slight detail when telling you about our route, you'd get all Joe-esque"
Joe's face went red with anger and he started stamping his foot around crazily. So much that he was scaring Misty who jumped back out of his way. It looked like he was having a meltdown and for once that day, someone else was scaring Misty in the group and for once in his life. Joe was scaring the crap out of someone who wasn't five or six.
"Of course I'd go Joe-esque, what other way can I be? Ok so maybe I do get a little over cautious but"
"Over cautious? That's what you call overcautious? Picture this, overcautious is a line, a big thick bright red line"
"Yeah"
"You've gone so far past that line, the big thick red line is a speck to you"
A huge black bug fluttered down next to them.
"Hera" it greeted, bowing its head. It's big yellow eyes lit up as it raced off to a tree to suck the sap out of it. Joe looked at it in shock, while Misty shook her head and sighed. She pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled a little note. While she was doing this, she asked Joe to try and pry Heracross away from the tree long enough so that he could pass on the message.
"Are you crazy? I can't pull that thing away form the tree, it would eat me" he protested, alarmed. Misty looked over at him and sighed.
"Okaaaaaay, fine. Hey Gomamon?" she called over.
"At your service" he replied, padding over.
"Since your human partner is being such a wussie and really I thought he was the guy that I was supposed to be able to rely on, could you try to take care of Heracross? " she asked.
"Yeah sure, you know I always end compensating for Joe's cowardliness in the end. That's why I'm his partner and he's my human" Gomamon replied, heading over towards Heracross. Joe snatched Gomamon up and whirled around to face Misty who gave him a challenging look.
"I AM reliable and now I am going to prove it. Gomamon will stay and you can both tell me how great I am after I pry that bug thing off the tree. I am NOT a chicken, sometimes" he cried as he marched over to Heracross.
Misty watched in surprise and the corners off her lips curled up and a sneaky smile formed on her face. She looked at Gomamon wearing a truimphant and devious expression. Gomamon winked at her.
"Works everytime" he said, proudly.
"Like charm" she added. Joe looked over at them both while trying to Pull Heracross off the tree. Both their heads snapped around and wore suspiciously innocent expressions.
"Gomamon strikes again" he muttered as he finally wrenched Heracross away from the tree. The force and the release of pressure sent them both back a few feet.
He struggled to pin Heracross and while he did, Misty rushed over and stuck the note on his horn. Grabbing Togepi, she placed the mall egg Pokewmon on his back.
"You'll be safer with Uncle Pikachu and Ash and everyone else," she said, kissing Togepi lightly on the cheek.
"C'mon Heracross, find the group," Joe said, patting Heracross on the back.
"And be careful with Togepi, please Heracross?" Misty said, pleadingly. Heracross understood the genuine trust she as putting on him so he nodded and started flying up the hill, careful not to drop Togepi.
"Togepi, please be good and be careful" she yelled at them, before they disappeared out of view. Joe looked at her and saw emotions that he only ever saw few people have. A mothering expression.
"He'll be ok," he said, reassuringly.
"Of course he will, Togepi's growing up into a big boy now, he doesn't need my ultimate protection all the time and he'll be safer with the others. I'm still allowed to worry though, I mean I am his Mom "
"Not literally"
"Well, he thinks that I am his mother because I'm the first person he ever saw so not literally but I'm the next best thing to being a mother that he has. I hope he'll be ok"
"Hey with a Mom like you, I'm sure he'll be prepared for anything. He's a tough cookie, the way his Mom is. If you can survive, then he can"
"Thanks Joe"
"So what was on the note?"
"That we'd meet the others in the next town and that we're ok and telling them to wait for us"
"I guess it would be unrealistic to think that we could climb back up that hill, so lets have a look at the map and figure out where we are"
Misty gave him a sheepish smile.
"Well we don't have a map as such and by as such, I mean not at all"
"What?"
"I have to go down there," Tentomon cried.
"Tentomon for the fourth time, no. They could be anywhere, wait till we get word from Heracross" Izzy cried, trying to hold down Tentomon, along with all the Digimon helping.
They saw Heracross approaching them and he landed. Togepi sobbed and started wailing.
Ash picked him up and tried to stop him from crying but nothing was happening.
Tracey picked up the note and tried to block his ears at the same time.
"Hey guys!" he yelled over the sound of Togepi's wails.
"Misty and Joe are fine, they'll meet up with us in the next town and to wait for them could we take care of Togepi for a little while. He'll be safer with us"
"How loud can this thing go?" Matt yelled, nodding at Togepi.
"I don't know but I NEVER WANT TO BECOME A MOM IF BABIES ARE LIKE THIS" Mimi cried.
"I used tease Misty about her being a bad trainer to Togepi, this is way harder than I thought" Ash muttered.
"So where next" Tai yelled.
Everything suddenly went silent because Togepi stopped crying instantly. Pikachu was on top of Ash's head, making funny faces to entertain Togepi. Togepi started to giggle and coo.
"Awwwh it's so cute, can we mind it?" Mimi pleaded.
"Sure, it's way more of a girls thing to parent a Pokemon, I prefer to train them but then Misty loved raising it from a tiny little egg" Ash said gratefully, handing Mimi Togepi. Sore giggled as she ticked Togepi.
"Awhh, it's so sweet," Kari cried.
"It is" Biyomon, Palmon and Gatomon chorused.
"Gatomon I didn't think this type of thing would interest you "Kari remarked, looking at her Digimon friend, curiously.
"Are you kidding me, a snivelling baby who cries all the time. How could I put up with that?" Gatomon snapped. Looking at Togepi giggling melted Gatomon's heart.
"Awhh Gatomon a baby brings out the best in every female including you" Sora pointed out.
"Ok so he could be worse," Gatomon admitted.
"Girls can be so weird sometimes" Tai remarked as the guys watched the girls giggling at Togepi and using the word sweet alot.
"Why do girls replace ever nice word with the word sweet when it comes to babies?" Matt asked
"What's wrong? Boys. Becoming a little jealous that the baby gets all the attention?" Izzy asked, as he walked past them. Both boys blushed.
"What are you talking about Izzy?"
A loud beeping interrupted their stream of thougths. Izzy pulled out his laptop and started clicking away at it frantically.
"It's an email from, Gennai" he exclaimed.
"Good, now we can find out what we're doing here?" Tk cheered.
Everyone crowded around the laptop, well with the exception of Tracey, Ash, Mimi Sora and Kari and their Digimon partners.
"Oh boy" Izzy muttered.
"Hey, something majorly important here, you can play with the kid later" Tai yelled at them.
The girls made a face at him but came over.
The email read
"Hello Kids, Gennai here. I have a lot to tell you, meet me at the nearest P.c and I'll transfer myself to your world. I think I might be able to explain what's going on. Get to a P.c quickly"
To be continued.

"I guess it would be unrealistic to think that we could climb back up that hill, so lets have a look at the map and figure out where we are"
Misty gave him a sheepish smile.
"Well we don't have a map as such and by as such, I mean not at all"
"What?"
"I have to go down there," Tentomon cried.
"Tentomon for the fourth time, no. They could be anywhere, wait till we get word from Heracross" Izzy cried, trying to hold down Tentomon, along with all the Digimon helping.
They saw Heracross approaching them and he landed. Togepi sobbed and started wailing.
Ash picked him up and tried to stop him from crying but nothing was happening.
Tracey picked up the note and tried to block his ears at the same time.
"Hey guys!" he yelled over the sound of Togepi's wails.
"Misty and Joe are fine, they'll meet up with us in the next town and to wait for them could we take care of Togepi for a little while. He'll be safer with us"
"How loud can this thing go?" Matt yelled, nodding at Togepi.
"I don't know but I NEVER WANT TO BECOME A MOM IF BABIES ARE LIKE THIS" Mimi cried.
"I used tease Misty about her being a bad trainer to Togepi, this is way harder than I thought" Ash muttered.
"So where next" Tai yelled.
Everything suddenly went silent because Togepi stopped crying instantly. Pikachu was on top of Ash's head, making funny faces to entertain Togepi. Togepi started to giggle and coo.
"Awwwh it's so cute, can we mind it?" Mimi pleaded.
"Sure, it's way more of a girls thing to parent a Pokemon, I prefer to train them but then Misty loved raising it from a tiny little egg" Ash said gratefully, handing Mimi Togepi. Sore giggled as she ticked Togepi.
"Awhh, it's so sweet," Kari cried.
"It is" Biyomon, Palmon and Gatomon chorused.
"Gatomon I didn't think this type of thing would interest you "Kari remarked, looking at her Digimon friend, curiously.
"Are you kidding me, a snivelling baby who cries all the time. How could I put up with that?" Gatomon snapped. Looking at Togepi giggling melted Gatomon's heart.
"Awhh Gatomon a baby brings out the best in every female including you" Sora pointed out.
"Ok so he could be worse," Gatomon admitted.
"Girls can be so weird sometimes" Tai remarked as the guys watched the girls giggling at Togepi and using the word sweet alot.
"Why do girls replace ever nice word with the word sweet when it comes to babies?" Matt asked
"What's wrong? Boys. Becoming a little jealous that the baby gets all the attention?" Izzy asked, as he walked past them. Both boys blushed.
"What are you talking about Izzy?"
A loud beeping interrupted their stream of thougths. Izzy pulled out his laptop and started clicking away at it frantically.
"It's an email from, Gennai" he exclaimed.
"Good, now we can find out what we're doing here?" Tk cheered.
Everyone crowded around the laptop, well with the exception of Tracey, Ash, Mimi Sora and Kari and their Digimon partners.
"Oh boy" Izzy muttered.
"Hey, something majorly important here, you can play with the kid later" Tai yelled at them.
The girls made a face at him but came over.
The email read
"Hello Kids, Gennai here. I have a lot to tell you, meet me at the nearest P.c and I'll transfer myself to your world. I think I might be able to explain what's going on. Get to a P.c quickly"
To be continued.
