********************************************************************************************
Chapter 8: Our Origin
Everyone just stared at me not believing what I just asked. Well, all except Sora who
pretended to be interested in the grass.
"How do you know about Digimon?" Davis demanded standing up.
"I know more than that," I began. "I know your all DigiDestined and who your Digimon are."
"How is that possible?" Yolie asked.
It sounded like the older kids never told the younger kids about the Original Five.
"You ever heard about the Original Five?" I asked the three new DigiDestined.
"No!"
I face-faulted. I found that very pathetic that Gennai hadn't even told them about us yet.
"I gotta to have a little talk with Gennai later." I thought. "How about you eight?"
"Yeah we have." Matt answered. "Are you telling us that your the Original Five?"
"Yup!" Max answered.
"Prove it!" Tai shouted.
"Why don't you ask Sora if you don't believe me?" I challenged.
Everyone turned to look at her. She immediately shot me a dirty look. I took it back right away.
"Never mind!" I said quickly. "Will Digivices be enough?"
We all pulled out our different coloured Digivices and showed them. I swear they had
the funniest look of bewilderment on their faces.
"So why is Ken sitting with you guys?" Cody asked.
"Well Cody, when Ken was seven, he was part of the Original Five too." I stated.
I smirked when I saw him wave nervously at the others with a shaky smile on his mug.
Max placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Ken knew about this?" Davis asked.
"Why didn't you tell us Ken?" Yolie asked.
"I was ordered not to tell anyone. That's Tyler's job." He replied sheepishly.
"All right, start talking Tyler!" Tai commanded.
"Would you like the long or short version?" I joked turning towards them.
"Long!" they all shouted in unison.
"Okay! Know need to yell at me!" I began. "How about if Serge starts from the beginning
and we work down from there?"
"Fine by me." T.K. answered.
"That's all right with me too." Kari added.
At least these two were more sensible then others were. The rest of them were yelling at me!
"Sergio, please begin." I joked. He hated being called by his full name.
"Once upon a time..." Serge began.
"Oh, cut the crap Serge!" Max interrupted.
"Okay! I'll be serious!" he shot back. "We were all at summer camp, playing sports, doing crafts and all
that garbage."
"Why is this sounding so familiar?" Tai asked sarcastically.
"This is starting to become more like dé ja vu." Joe complained.
"Can you all, just shut up?!" Serge asked impatiently.
"Alright, we're sorry!"
"As I was saying, we were at summer camp doing our usual thing. When suddenly
it started to rain really hard and we all had to go inside..."
*Flashback*
Five little kids sat in a cabin waiting for the storm to stop. And of course, there is someone belly aching
about it.
"This is so boring!" Tyler complained. "I want to go outside and do something!"
"We can't! It's raining nitwit!" Gwen answered.
Tyler turned his head toward her and glared.
"Don't start with me!" he warned.
She rolled her eyes.
"Now I'm scared!" she replied sarcastically.
Tyler jumped out of the chair that he was sitting in.
"You better be!"
Serge was sitting on the couch playing a video game while Max, who
was sitting by him, was watching. Ty and Gwen's arguing was starting to
annoy Serge.
"Will you both zip it?!" Serge yelled.
"She started it." Ty stated while pointing in her direction. Then he spotted
Ken sitting near the window in the corner shaking.
"What's the matter, Kenny?" he asked.
The shaking Ken looked up to see a smiling Tyler looking at him very concerned.
"I don't like thunderstorms." He replied bluntly.
Tyler raised an eyebrow at him.
"You don't like storms, or are you afraid of them?" Ty asked.
"Afraid."
"Don't worry about it bud!" Ty replied cheerfully. "As long as we're inside, we're okay!"
"I'm still scared anyway." Came his muffled reply.
Max looked up from watching Serge playing his game to see what was going on. Then
something shiny caught his attention from outside the window.
"Hey, what's that?" he asked pointing out the window.
"What's what?" Serge asked looking up from his game.
Everyone turned toward the window to see what Max was talking about. Then
suddenly, a bright flash illuminated outside and five objects shot down from the sky.
"What the heck was that?!" Tyler shouted taking his goggles of his eyes after it was over.
"Maybe shooting stars?" Gwen suggested.
"Shooting stars!" Ty exclaimed. "I've seen shooting stars before, and they did not to that!"
"Does it really matter what it was?" Serge asked.
"Guess not." Ty replied.
"At least the storm stopped." Ken stated.
This made Max really excited.
"Alright! We can go outside and play sports again!" he yelled pumping his arm in the air.
They all nodded and opened the door to their cabin and walked outside. Trees were dripping
with water and the plants were all glistening from the dew drops that were on their leaves.
"I love how it looks outside after it rains." Ty said.
"Why?" Serge asked. "It looks like someone just flooded the whole place."
"I like because it makes all the plants shine." He answered.
"Wow Ty, I didn't know you were such a romantic." Gwen joked.
"Romantic!" Tyler exclaimed sticking out his tongue. "I wasn't being romantic!"
"Were too!" she shot back.
"Were not!"
"Were too!"
"Were not!"
"There they go again!" Serge whined.
"C'mon guys, stop it!" Ken replied.
"Fine!" they replied in unison turning themselves back to back.
Tyler then remembered the five "shooting stars" they saw and started walking into the forest.
"Where are you going?" Max asked.
"To see what those five things in the sky were." He replied with his back to them.
"But we're not suppose to leave the camp." Gwen reminded him.
"Aww, where's your sense of adventure?" he asked.
"At home." She stated.
"It wouldn't hurt to look." Serge cut in, letting his curiosity get the better of him.
"Well if you're going, so am I." Max stated while following his brother.
"Wait for me." Ken called after them while he was running.
"Well, I'm not staying here by myself." Gwen said to herself.
They all followed Tyler through the thick forest into an open area with a cliff looking
overhead. Ty stopped when he spotted five little graters near the edge of the cliff. Causing
everyone to pump into him.
"Why'd you stop?" Serge asked impatiently.
"Look over there." Tyler replied pointing in the direction of the holes. "I bet that's where they landed."
"Let's check it out." Serge suggested.
They each ran up a hole and knelt down to see if anything was down there. As soon as
they did that, an odd shaped device floated out of the hole and in front of everyone's
faces. Tyler grabbed the orange one that was floating in front of him and inspected it.
The others did the same.
"What are these things?" Ken asked.
Nobody had time to answer his question because suddenly a tidal wave of water came crashing
on them and sending them plummeting into some unknown place.
********************************************************************************************
"Ty?" a voice called.
Tyler stirred in his sleep and started to open his eyes to only come face to face with a gray
head, beady yellow eyes and big ears.
"Hi there." It greeted.
Tyler blinked for a second to see if he was dreaming but realized he wasn't when the creature
didn't disappear.
"Ahhhh!" Ty screamed backing up against a tree. "What the heck are you?!"
"I'm Pagumon." he replied. "And I've been waiting for you."
He unexpectedly jumped into Tyler's hands and surprised him.
"Waiting for me?" he asked. "Why?"
"Because we're partners." It answered.
"Partners?"
Before Pagumon could answer, a figure started to walked through the shrubs
making it's way towards them.
"Ty? Is that you?" a male voice asked.
"Serge? Your here too?"
"Yeah." He answered while a little pink creature with pointy teeth walked out from behind Serge.
"Hello. I'm Pugmon." It greeted.
"Huh? You got one of those things too." Ty asked.
"It was sorta following me." Serge replied sheepishly. "Do you know where we are?"
"No clue." Ty answered. "Hey Pagumon. Where we at?"
"Your in a forest." Pagumon told him.
"Yeah, I've noticed that." Ty replied sarcastically. "Where's this forest located in?"
"The Digital World." Pugmon cut in.
"The Digital World?" Serge asked. "Where in the heck is that!"
"I don't know." Tyler shrugged.
Suddenly, leaves began to rustle and a huge ape-like animal jumped out of the bushes.
"Holy cow!" Serge shouted.
"Argggggh!" It roared while beginning to chase Ty and Serge.
"Run!" Tyler yelled.
They started running full speed following Pagumon and Pugmon threw the forest.
"Hurry it up you two!" Pagumon yelled while stopping by a large tree with Pugmon next to him.
"In this tree quick." Pugmon said while jumping into it with Pagumon following close after him.
Serge and Tyler hit the brakes and looked at them jumping into the tree in astonishment. Then Ty
grabbed Serge and pulled him inside.
"What kind of tree is this?" Serge asked.
"Shhh!" Pagumon shushed. "He'll hear you!"
"Sorry." Serge whispered.
They waited until the noise quieted down and waited until they heard a defeated grunt and walking in
the opposite direction.
"You can come out of there now." a female voice called from outside the tree.
When they walked out, they saw Gwen grinning at them with a flower-looking animal standing beside her.
"Gwen!" Ty exclaimed. "We were just planning a trap for that big gorilla."
"I'm sure you were." She joked.
"What the heck is that thing?" Serge asked pointing at the creature standing next to her.
"Hello there, I'm am Yokomon." It greeted.
"Guys, meet Yokomon, my personal thing-of-a-bob."
"My mom would love this thing." Ty joked. "Looks like a some type of wild poinsettia."
"What was that thing that was chasing us, Pugmon?" Serge asked.
"That was Apemon." He answered. "He attacks anything that comes into his territory."
"Guess we trespassed then." Ty concluded.
"Hey, where's Max and Ken?" Gwen asked.
As soon as she said that, two little animals ran in front of them with Max and Ken following behind.
"Minomon! Motimon!" two young voices called form behind the trees.
"Over here guys!" they shouted back.
"Motimon, there you are!" Max replied picking him up.
"Minomon!" Ken said grabbing a hold of him and putting him on his shoulder.
"Does that answer your question?" Serge responded pointing at the two youngsters.
"What are you guys anyway?" Ty asked.
"We're Digimon! Digital Monsters!" they answered in unison.
"Pretty cool, huh Ty?" Pagumon asked.
Before Tyler could answer, a blurry figure jumped out of the trees and landed in front
of the kids.
"It's Apemon again!" Pagumon yelled.
"Run for it!" Ty ordered.
They all began to run through the forest, jumping over rocks and fallen logs. Unfortunately for Ken,
his foot got caught in an exposed tree root causing him to fall on flat on his face.
"Oof!" Ken cried when he hit the ground.
Apemon stopped and was about to attack him when Ty came and did a flying kick and hit Apemon, making him
fall to the ground.
"You okay?" Ty asked while helping Ken up.
"I think I twisted my ankle." He replied while picking up Minomon off the ground.
Ty nodded his head, unaware of Apemon ready to attack.
"Ty watch out!" Ken warned.
Ty turned around and waited for the bone club to hit him, but instead a familiar voice rang out.
"Bubble Blow!" Pagumon shouted.
The tiny pink bubbles hit Apemon causing him to stumble backwards.
"C'mon, before he attacks again!" Pagumon commanded.
"I'm not going to argue!" Ty stated while following him with Ken on his back.
They ran out of the woods and dashed towards a cliff where the others were waiting for them.
"What happened to Ken?" Gwen asked.
"He twisted his ankle." Ty replied while placing him in her arms. "Is there any way down the ledge?"
"No." Serge replied gloomy.
"Then we're toast." Ty concluded.
"No we're not!" a voice argued.
They all looked down at the little creatures and at Pagumon who had spoken.
"We can fight!" Pugmon added.
"Are you kidding me!" Serge retorted. "You guys are too small to fight!"
"We can still try!" Motimon insisted.
Then suddenly, Apemon jumped out of the forest angrier than a hornet.
"Attack!" Pagumon shouted.
"Oh no you don't!" Ty opposed getting a hold of Pagumon while the others did the same
except Gwen and Ken. Yokomon and Minomon stayed near their partners
"Let go Ty!" Pagumon cried while struggling.
"No way!"
"We have to fight!" Motimon bickered.
"I'm sorry Ty!" Pagumon apologized as he bit him.
"Ow!"
Motimon and Pugmon slipped out of their partners' hands and ran after Pagumon
with Minomon and Yokomon following.
"Get back here!" Ty ordered.
But they all ignored him. Without warning, a ray of brilliant light shot down and hit each
in everyone of their Digimon while the devices they found started to glow and vibrate.
"What's going on?!" Ty shouted while taking his device off his belt and looking at it.
"Pagumon Digivolve to...Mushroomon!"
"Pugmon Digivolve to...Gizamon!"
"Yokomon Digivolve to...Floramon!"
"Motimon Digivolve to...Otamamon!"
"Minomon Digivolve to...Wormon!"
"What's happened to them?" Ken asked.
"They got bigger!" Gwen answered.
"Fungus Cruncher!" Mushroomon cried.
"Spiral Saw!" Gizamon yelled.
"Rain of Pollen!" Floramon shouted.
"Stun Bubble!" Otamamon bellowed.
"Sticky Net!" Wormon exclaimed.
The attacks all hit Apemon sending him flying back into the woods. All the Digimon started
running back towards their partners.
"They did it!" Ty said bewildered.
"Told ya!" Mushroom stated jumping into Tyler's arms.
"Way to go...is it Mushroom now?" Ty asked.
"Yup!"
"And I'm Floramon." The flower Digimon told Gwen.
"The name's Gizamon." The reptile informed Serge.
"Otamamon." The tadpole stated to Max.
"My name is Wormon." The bug told Ken.
"I'm Ty. These are my friends from camp. Meet Gwen."
"Hi there." She replied.
"The tough guy over there is Serge."
"Yo." Serge greeted.
"Then there's Max."
"Hey." He said.
"And the little guy here is Ken."
"I'd shake hands with you but I can't walk at the moment." He declared.
************************************************************************************
While Ty and the others were introducing each other with their Digimon a pink figure
floated high above the air watching them.
"They're stronger than Gennai thought they would be." The figure stated.
************************************************************************************
The leaves in the forest began t rustle and shake violently and once again Apemon jumped out furious running
towards them.
"This guy doesn't give up!" Serge yelled.
"He's coming to fast for us to attack!" Otamamon warned.
"Duck and cover!" Ty commanded.
They all did what he said and waiting for the coming attack when a voice rang out from the sky.
"Pit bomb, seek and destroy!"
The bomb hit Apemon turning him into dust. Then a pink creature with a spear in it's hand landed on the ground
with it's back to the kids.
"Who's the pink powder-puff with wings?" Ty asked.
The pink creature turned around and faced the children who were gaping at him.
"I'm Piximon you big-haired punk!" he replied.
"Hey!" Ty retorted. "Who do you think you are calling me names?!"
"You insulted me first Takenouchi!" Piximon shot back.
"How did you know my last name?" Ty inquired bewildered.
"The resemblance is uncanny." He answered simply.
"The resemblance?" Ty questioned.
"Never mind that, I'll explain later." Piximon stated. "Come with me kids."
"Why should we come with you?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah. You may have saved us but you destroyed that Digimon." Serge added.
"I'm here to bring you to a safe place." he stated. "If you want to stay out
here and be somebody's dinner, be my quest."
"We can handle them!" Mushroomon replied confidently.
"Yes, just like you did with Apemon." He answered sarcastically.
"Can we talk this over?" Ty asked.
"Go ahead."
Tyler motioned everyone towards him in a huddle so Piximon couldn't hear them.
"What you think guys?" he asked them.
"Better than being eaten." Max replied.
"And we don't have anywhere to stay." Ken added.
"In other words, we don't have much choice." Gwen stated.
"What's the skinny on this guy, Mushroom?" Tyler questioned.
"He's never been known to attack or hurt anybody on purpose, so our best bet is with him." Mushroomon concluded.
"So we go with him." Ty resolved. "Is that okay with everyone?"
Everyone nodded and turned around to Piximon who was twirling his spear like a baton.
"Better keep an eye on that spear." Ty thought. "Alright, we'll go with you."
"Good thinking." He answered happily while catching his spear. "Now follow me and when we get there
I'll introduce you to someone."
"To who?" Ken asked.
"You'll see."
They all followed him back into the forest to a large vast pink watered lake.
"Alright water!" Otamamon exclaimed happily while jumping into it.
"Maybe your happy to see water, but I'm not." Tyler gulped when he saw the lake.
"What's the matter Ty? Scared of a little water?" Serge teased.
"Shut up!" Ty shot back.
"Why are you scared?" Gwen asked gently.
"None of your business!" Ty yelled. Then he looked at the hurt look on Gwen's face.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay." She replied. "How do we get across Piximon?"
"Watch." he answered.
Piximon place the tip of his spear into the water and chanting some odd language. Unexpectedly,
the water shot up revealing steps down to a house.
"Cool special effects!" Max awed.
"Follow me kids." Piximon told them.
Walking down the steps, they heard noises that sounded like fighting. When they got to the bottom,
they saw at least twenty kids from camp training with weapons. Among them stood a guy with brown spiky
hair that was put into a short ponytail. He wore a white robe with a hood and was watching the children
intently.
He looked up and walked over to Piximon and the five kids and Digimon. He stopped and stared at Tyler
curiously. Which made Ty feel uncomfortable.
"Are these the ones?" he asked.
"Yes Gennai, these children had their Digimon Digivolve more quickly than the other kids. They are the
DigiDestined who will lead these recruits."
"Ah, excuse me," Tyler began. "We're not the DigiDestined. We're just kids from summer camp."
"As are they." Gennai answered pointing to the kids who were training.
"But-" Ty began.
"Come with me and I will explain everything." Gennai interrupted.
The others looked at Tyler and he just shrugged his shoulders. They all followed Gennai and Piximon into the
house and into a room with an old fashion table that you have to kneel to sit down. They all sat down with their
Digimon sitting next to them. A screen came down a few feet away from them and then the lights turned off. A picture
of a planet projected onto to the screen.
"This is the Digital World and you were sent here to save it from the evil Digimon." Gennai explained bluntly. "Any questions?"
Everyone's hands shot up in the air except for the Digimon. Gennai was expecting this so he kept it very
brief instead of explaining everything and then get shot at with a thousand questions. He pointed to Gwen.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because you were the five children who saw the five coloured Digivices flying through the sky. Thus you were chosen to be in
charge of these children."
Serge's hand rose up.
"Yes?"
"Didn't the other kids get Digivices?" he asked.
"Yes but they weren't coloured like yours." Gennai stated. "They float to the person who is worthy to have them."
Max's hand shot up.
"Yes?"
"Are all five of us in charge or one of us five is the leader?" he questioned.
"One of you." Gennai began. "But you must choose who you think is the best for the job."
"Well, that would be me." Serge blurted out proudly.
"Yeah right! You couldn't lead yourself out of a paper bag." Gwen retorted.
"It's to early to decide." Piximon stated. "You'll have to wait for awhile. And further more,
it's not just your opinion, it's everybody's."
"Any other questions?" Piximon asked.
Tyler raised hand.
"Yes Ty?"
"How did you know my last name and why did you say 'the resemblance is uncanny'?"
"Tyler come with me." Gennai replied motioning him and Mushroomon to a door.
"Alright."
Ty followed Gennai through the door and turned on the light to show a framed pictures of eight kids
around the wall. At the end of the wall, there was a picture of a young boy with short spiky orange-brown
hair, about fourteen, with the same goggles around his head as Tyler's and looked almost exactly like him.
There was a inscription on the bottom of the picture and underneath a long sword in it's sheath with a sun
object on it.
"Who's that?" Ty asked looked at the picture after he ran up to it.
"Read the inscription." Gennai instructed.
"Draco Takenouchi, the first leader of the DigiDestined and the bearer of the Blade of Courage." Ty read.
"That's my grandfather's name!" Ty exclaimed. "Well, it was."
"It was?" Gennai asked.
"He got sick last year and then passed away." Tyler stated forcing his tears not to drop.
"Were you close to him?" Gennai questioned.
"Yeah." Ty answered. "My sister and I were very close to him. He gave me these goggles when
I was eight."
"Do you understand now why you were brought here?" He asked.
"To take over my grandfather's stead." Ty responded. "But you said the others had to choose who they want
the leader to be."
"They will choose you, don't worry." Gennai said.
"How do you know?" Tyler questioned.
"I saw it." Gennai replied.
"You what?" Ty asked dumbfounded.
"I have this machine that my apprentices and I made that shows the future and one day I will let you see it
too." Gennai explained.
"Why me?" Ty asked.
"It's your destiny." He replied. "You will need to train hard with your friends but you will be trained by Piximon
while the others will be trained by me. When you prove yourself worthy you will receive your grandfather's sword."
"Why do I have to be trained by Piximon instead of you?"
"Because you need to be trained differently." Gennai began. "You have a power inside of you Ty that one else here does.
There are only two other people who have this power and their purpose is entirely different."
"What's their purpose?" Ty asked.
"You will learn that eventually." He stated.
"Who are they? Do I know them or something?" Tyler inquired.
"They are very close and you do indeed know them." Gennai answered.
"Well, who are they?" Ty repeated.
"They are Sora Takenouchi and Tai Kamiya."

faces. Tyler grabbed the orange one that was floating in front of him and inspected it.
The others did the same.
"What are these things?" Ken asked.
Nobody had time to answer his question because suddenly a tidal wave of water came crashing
on them and sending them plummeting into some unknown place.
********************************************************************************************
"Ty?" a voice called.
Tyler stirred in his sleep and started to open his eyes to only come face to face with a gray
head, beady yellow eyes and big ears.
"Hi there." It greeted.
Tyler blinked for a second to see if he was dreaming but realized he wasn't when the creature
didn't disappear.
"Ahhhh!" Ty screamed backing up against a tree. "What the heck are you?!"
"I'm Pagumon." he replied. "And I've been waiting for you."
He unexpectedly jumped into Tyler's hands and surprised him.
"Waiting for me?" he asked. "Why?"
"Because we're partners." It answered.
"Partners?"
Before Pagumon could answer, a figure started to walked through the shrubs
making it's way towards them.
"Ty? Is that you?" a male voice asked.
"Serge? Your here too?"
"Yeah." He answered while a little pink creature with pointy teeth walked out from behind Serge.
"Hello. I'm Pugmon." It greeted.
"Huh? You got one of those things too." Ty asked.
"It was sorta following me." Serge replied sheepishly. "Do you know where we are?"
"No clue." Ty answered. "Hey Pagumon. Where we at?"
"Your in a forest." Pagumon told him.
"Yeah, I've noticed that." Ty replied sarcastically. "Where's this forest located in?"
"The Digital World." Pugmon cut in.
"The Digital World?" Serge asked. "Where in the heck is that!"
"I don't know." Tyler shrugged.
Suddenly, leaves began to rustle and a huge ape-like animal jumped out of the bushes.
"Holy cow!" Serge shouted.
"Argggggh!" It roared while beginning to chase Ty and Serge.
"Run!" Tyler yelled.
They started running full speed following Pagumon and Pugmon threw the forest.
"Hurry it up you two!" Pagumon yelled while stopping by a large tree with Pugmon next to him.
"In this tree quick." Pugmon said while jumping into it with Pagumon following close after him.
Serge and Tyler hit the brakes and looked at them jumping into the tree in astonishment. Then Ty
grabbed Serge and pulled him inside.
"What kind of tree is this?" Serge asked.
"Shhh!" Pagumon shushed. "He'll hear you!"
"Sorry." Serge whispered.
They waited until the noise quieted down and waited until they heard a defeated grunt and walking in
the opposite direction.
"You can come out of there now." a female voice called from outside the tree.
When they walked out, they saw Gwen grinning at them with a flower-looking animal standing beside her.
"Gwen!" Ty exclaimed. "We were just planning a trap for that big gorilla."
"I'm sure you were." She joked.
"What the heck is that thing?" Serge asked pointing at the creature standing next to her.
"Hello there, I'm am Yokomon." It greeted.
"Guys, meet Yokomon, my personal thing-of-a-bob."
"My mom would love this thing." Ty joked. "Looks like a some type of wild poinsettia."
"What was that thing that was chasing us, Pugmon?" Serge asked.
"That was Apemon." He answered. "He attacks anything that comes into his territory."
"Guess we trespassed then." Ty concluded.
"Hey, where's Max and Ken?" Gwen asked.
As soon as she said that, two little animals ran in front of them with Max and Ken following behind.
"Minomon! Motimon!" two young voices called form behind the trees.
"Over here guys!" they shouted back.
"Motimon, there you are!" Max replied picking him up.
"Minomon!" Ken said grabbing a hold of him and putting him on his shoulder.
"Does that answer your question?" Serge responded pointing at the two youngsters.
"What are you guys anyway?" Ty asked.
"We're Digimon! Digital Monsters!" they answered in unison.
"Pretty cool, huh Ty?" Pagumon asked.
Before Tyler could answer, a blurry figure jumped out of the trees and landed in front
of the kids.
"It's Apemon again!" Pagumon yelled.
"Run for it!" Ty ordered.
They all began to run through the forest, jumping over rocks and fallen logs. Unfortunately for Ken,
his foot got caught in an exposed tree root causing him to fall on flat on his face.
"Oof!" Ken cried when he hit the ground.
Apemon stopped and was about to attack him when Ty came and did a flying kick and hit Apemon, making him
fall to the ground.
"You okay?" Ty asked while helping Ken up.
"I think I twisted my ankle." He replied while picking up Minomon off the ground.
Ty nodded his head, unaware of Apemon ready to attack.
"Ty watch out!" Ken warned.
Ty turned around and waited for the bone club to hit him, but instead a familiar voice rang out.
"Bubble Blow!" Pagumon shouted.
The tiny pink bubbles hit Apemon causing him to stumble backwards.
"C'mon, before he attacks again!" Pagumon commanded.
"I'm not going to argue!" Ty stated while following him with Ken on his back.
They ran out of the woods and dashed towards a cliff where the others were waiting for them.
"What happened to Ken?" Gwen asked.
"He twisted his ankle." Ty replied while placing him in her arms. "Is there any way down the ledge?"
"No." Serge replied gloomy.
"Then we're toast." Ty concluded.
"No we're not!" a voice argued.
They all looked down at the little creatures and at Pagumon who had spoken.
"We can fight!" Pugmon added.
"Are you kidding me!" Serge retorted. "You guys are too small to fight!"
"We can still try!" Motimon insisted.
Then suddenly, Apemon jumped out of the forest angrier than a hornet.
"Attack!" Pagumon shouted.
"Oh no you don't!" Ty opposed getting a hold of Pagumon while the others did the same
except Gwen and Ken. Yokomon and Minomon stayed near their partners
"Let go Ty!" Pagumon cried while struggling.
"No way!"
"We have to fight!" Motimon bickered.
"I'm sorry Ty!" Pagumon apologized as he bit him.
"Ow!"
Motimon and Pugmon slipped out of their partners' hands and ran after Pagumon
with Minomon and Yokomon following.
"Get back here!" Ty ordered.
But they all ignored him. Without warning, a ray of brilliant light shot down and hit each
in everyone of their Digimon while the devices they found started to glow and vibrate.
"What's going on?!" Ty shouted while taking his device off his belt and looking at it.
"Pagumon Digivolve to...Mushroomon!"
"Pugmon Digivolve to...Gizamon!"
"Yokomon Digivolve to...Floramon!"
"Motimon Digivolve to...Otamamon!"
"Minomon Digivolve to...Wormon!"
"What's happened to them?" Ken asked.
"They got bigger!" Gwen answered.
"Fungus Cruncher!" Mushroomon cried.
"Spiral Saw!" Gizamon yelled.
"Rain of Pollen!" Floramon shouted.
"Stun Bubble!" Otamamon bellowed.
"Sticky Net!" Wormon exclaimed.
The attacks all hit Apemon sending him flying back into the woods. All the Digimon started
running back towards their partners.
"They did it!" Ty said bewildered.
"Told ya!" Mushroom stated jumping into Tyler's arms.
"Way to go...is it Mushroom now?" Ty asked.
"Yup!"
"And I'm Floramon." The flower Digimon told Gwen.
"The name's Gizamon." The reptile informed Serge.
"Otamamon." The tadpole stated to Max.
"My name is Wormon." The bug told Ken.
"I'm Ty. These are my friends from camp. Meet Gwen."
"Hi there." She replied.
"The tough guy over there is Serge."
"Yo." Serge greeted.
"Then there's Max."
"Hey." He said.
"And the little guy here is Ken."
"I'd shake hands with you but I can't walk at the moment." He declared.
************************************************************************************
While Ty and the others were introducing each other with their Digimon a pink figure
floated high above the air watching them.
"They're stronger than Gennai thought they would be." The figure stated.
************************************************************************************
The leaves in the forest began t rustle and shake violently and once again Apemon jumped out furious running
towards them.
"This guy doesn't give up!" Serge yelled.
"He's coming to fast for us to attack!" Otamamon warned.
"Duck and cover!" Ty commanded.
They all did what he said and waiting for the coming attack when a voice rang out from the sky.
"Pit bomb, seek and destroy!"
The bomb hit Apemon turning him into dust. Then a pink creature with a spear in it's hand landed on the ground
with it's back to the kids.
"Who's the pink powder-puff with wings?" Ty asked.
The pink creature turned around and faced the children who were gaping at him.
"I'm Piximon you big-haired punk!" he replied.
"Hey!" Ty retorted. "Who do you think you are calling me names?!"
"You insulted me first Takenouchi!" Piximon shot back.
"How did you know my last name?" Ty inquired bewildered.
"The resemblance is uncanny." He answered simply.
"The resemblance?" Ty questioned.
"Never mind that, I'll explain later." Piximon stated. "Come with me kids."
"Why should we come with you?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah. You may have saved us but you destroyed that Digimon." Serge added.
"I'm here to bring you to a safe place." he stated. "If you want to stay out
here and be somebody's dinner, be my quest."
"We can handle them!" Mushroomon replied confidently.
"Yes, just like you did with Apemon." He answered sarcastically.
"Can we talk this over?" Ty asked.
"Go ahead."
Tyler motioned everyone towards him in a huddle so Piximon couldn't hear them.
"What you think guys?" he asked them.
"Better than being eaten." Max replied.
"And we don't have anywhere to stay." Ken added.
"In other words, we don't have much choice." Gwen stated.
"What's the skinny on this guy, Mushroom?" Tyler questioned.
"He's never been known to attack or hurt anybody on purpose, so our best bet is with him." Mushroomon concluded.
"So we go with him." Ty resolved. "Is that okay with everyone?"
Everyone nodded and turned around to Piximon who was twirling his spear like a baton.
"Better keep an eye on that spear." Ty thought. "Alright, we'll go with you."
"Good thinking." He answered happily while catching his spear. "Now follow me and when we get there
I'll introduce you to someone."
"To who?" Ken asked.
"You'll see."
They all followed him back into the forest to a large vast pink watered lake.
"Alright water!" Otamamon exclaimed happily while jumping into it.
"Maybe your happy to see water, but I'm not." Tyler gulped when he saw the lake.
"What's the matter Ty? Scared of a little water?" Serge teased.
"Shut up!" Ty shot back.
"Why are you scared?" Gwen asked gently.
"None of your business!" Ty yelled. Then he looked at the hurt look on Gwen's face.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay." She replied. "How do we get across Piximon?"
"Watch." he answered.
Piximon place the tip of his spear into the water and chanting some odd language. Unexpectedly,
the water shot up revealing steps down to a house.
"Cool special effects!" Max awed.
"Follow me kids." Piximon told them.
Walking down the steps, they heard noises that sounded like fighting. When they got to the bottom,
they saw at least twenty kids from camp training with weapons. Among them stood a guy with brown spiky
hair that was put into a short ponytail. He wore a white robe with a hood and was watching the children
intently.
He looked up and walked over to Piximon and the five kids and Digimon. He stopped and stared at Tyler
curiously. Which made Ty feel uncomfortable.
"Are these the ones?" he asked.
"Yes Gennai, these children had their Digimon Digivolve more quickly than the other kids. They are the
DigiDestined who will lead these recruits."
"Ah, excuse me," Tyler began. "We're not the DigiDestined. We're just kids from summer camp."
"As are they." Gennai answered pointing to the kids who were training.
"But-" Ty began.
"Come with me and I will explain everything." Gennai interrupted.
The others looked at Tyler and he just shrugged his shoulders. They all followed Gennai and Piximon into the
house and into a room with an old fashion table that you have to kneel to sit down. They all sat down with their
Digimon sitting next to them. A screen came down a few feet away from them and then the lights turned off. A picture
of a planet projected onto to the screen.
"This is the Digital World and you were sent here to save it from the evil Digimon." Gennai explained bluntly. "Any questions?"
Everyone's hands shot up in the air except for the Digimon. Gennai was expecting this so he kept it very
brief instead of explaining everything and then get shot at with a thousand questions. He pointed to Gwen.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because you were the five children who saw the five coloured Digivices flying through the sky. Thus you were chosen to be in
charge of these children."
Serge's hand rose up.
"Yes?"
"Didn't the other kids get Digivices?" he asked.
"Yes but they weren't coloured like yours." Gennai stated. "They float to the person who is worthy to have them."
Max's hand shot up.
"Yes?"
"Are all five of us in charge or one of us five is the leader?" he questioned.
"One of you." Gennai began. "But you must choose who you think is the best for the job."
"Well, that would be me." Serge blurted out proudly.
"Yeah right! You couldn't lead yourself out of a paper bag." Gwen retorted.
"It's to early to decide." Piximon stated. "You'll have to wait for awhile. And further more,
it's not just your opinion, it's everybody's."
"Any other questions?" Piximon asked.
Tyler raised hand.
"Yes Ty?"
"How did you know my last name and why did you say 'the resemblance is uncanny'?"
"Tyler come with me." Gennai replied motioning him and Mushroomon to a door.
"Alright."
Ty followed Gennai through the door and turned on the light to show a framed pictures of eight kids
around the wall. At the end of the wall, there was a picture of a young boy with short spiky orange-brown
hair, about fourteen, with the same goggles around his head as Tyler's and looked almost exactly like him.
There was a inscription on the bottom of the picture and underneath a long sword in it's sheath with a sun
object on it.
"Who's that?" Ty asked looked at the picture after he ran up to it.
"Read the inscription." Gennai instructed.
"Draco Takenouchi, the first leader of the DigiDestined and the bearer of the Blade of Courage." Ty read.
"That's my grandfather's name!" Ty exclaimed. "Well, it was."
"It was?" Gennai asked.
"He got sick last year and then passed away." Tyler stated forcing his tears not to drop.
"Were you close to him?" Gennai questioned.
"Yeah." Ty answered. "My sister and I were very close to him. He gave me these goggles when
I was eight."
"Do you understand now why you were brought here?" He asked.
"To take over my grandfather's stead." Ty responded. "But you said the others had to choose who they want
the leader to be."
"They will choose you, don't worry." Gennai said.
"How do you know?" Tyler questioned.
"I saw it." Gennai replied.
"You what?" Ty asked dumbfounded.
"I have this machine that my apprentices and I made that shows the future and one day I will let you see it
too." Gennai explained.
"Why me?" Ty asked.
"It's your destiny." He replied. "You will need to train hard with your friends but you will be trained by Piximon
while the others will be trained by me. When you prove yourself worthy you will receive your grandfather's sword."
"Why do I have to be trained by Piximon instead of you?"
"Because you need to be trained differently." Gennai began. "You have a power inside of you Ty that one else here does.
There are only two other people who have this power and their purpose is entirely different."
"What's their purpose?" Ty asked.
"You will learn that eventually." He stated.
"Who are they? Do I know them or something?" Tyler inquired.
"They are very close and you do indeed know them." Gennai answered.
"Well, who are they?" Ty repeated.
"They are Sora Takenouchi and Tai Kamiya."
