Episode 7: The Legend of the Chosen Children
Chapter 16
"I don't mean to be rude or anything," Tyler said to the hologram in front of them, "but who exactly are you?"
"Are you a human being, like us, or a Digimon?" Isaac asked. "Inquiring minds want to know."
"Actually, I am both and neither." The man said. "My name is Gennai and I am caretaker of the Digimon here."
"Well, can you answer some questions for us then?" Lora said, trying to keep her patience in check. She was never one to be very patient. "Can you send us back to where we came from?"
"All of your questions will soon be answered." Gennai said. "Just go to the mountain and wait there for…" Just then, the image was starting to break up. "Sorry, my resolution is too poor. See ya!"
"Wait!" Yamoto cried. "We need to know if you can get us home!" But it was too late. The image was gone.
"Now what?" Lora said. "We don't even know if this guy is the real deal or not."
"We'll just have to go to the base of the mountain and find out if it's true." Tyler said with some enthusiasm as he straightened his goggles. With that, the small group set off for the mountain base. By morning, they had all arrived at the base of the mountain, unsure of what to wait for.
"Well, we're here." Yamoto said. "Anyone have any ideas about what we're waiting for?" Just then, a hole began to open on the side of the mountain. It revealed a door similar to that of a castle. When it slowly opened, the children saw that standing there was the same person that they had spoken to earlier.
"You're Gennai, right?" Tyler asked.
"Yes, Tyler Yagami, I am." Gennai said, noticing the startled expressions on the children's faces. "Well, don't just stand there, children, come inside." With that, the dumbstruck children followed him inside.

"So, is this where you live?" Isaac said out of curiosity as he looked around. "It appears quite immense."
"Yes, I do live here, Isagi Kimoto." Gennai said to them as they followed him down the large hallway. As the children and Digimon walked, they saw many rooms where other cloaked figures were working. One room held eight DigiEggs inside a glass case with digivices attached to them. (For reference, see "The Ultimate Clash", Season 1.) They finally reached an empty room at the end of the hallway, where the children all took a seat around a table.
"All right, whoever you are." Lora told Gennai. "Just how do you know who we are anyway?"
"I can answer your question the simplest way, Lora Yamaguchi." Gennai said to her as he turned his attention to all of them. As he began to speak, images began to float across the ceiling. "Long ago, our world was created from the digital data floating around computer networks in your world. It is watched over by the four DigiGods in each corner. They were entrusted to safeguard the Digital World, where you are now, from all harm and danger. However, soon afterwards, a great evil began to invade our world." As Gennai spoke, the image of a horrifying creature appeared on the ceiling. "This evil was so great that all time here was thrown completely out of order. This is why the DigiGods decided that to save this world, we would need outside help. So, you all were summoned to become the Chosen Children." As Gennai finished, the images faded away.
"Just one question, Gennai." Tyler said with a somewhat skeptical look on his face. "What makes us so special? Why were we chosen and no one else?"
"Because you all have the special digivices, devices that can allow certain Digimon to digivolve." Gennai told him.
"So, how are we supposed to stop this menace?" Isaac asked. "Is he as powerful as Ice Devimon?"
"Unfortunately, Isaac, he is far more powerful than Ice Devimon could hope to be." Gennai told them with a grim look on his face. "He is so powerful, in fact, that unless you all stop him, the entire future of both this world and your own is in grave danger. You all will need special utilities if you hope to defeat this evil." With that, he pulled out a box from his cloak. When he opened it, all of the children were in awe of the contents. They were gold necklaces with some sort of pendant on it.
"They're beautiful." Kasumi said as she and the others picked up one.
"Yeah, but what are they?" Yamoto said.
"These are your tags." Gennai explained. "When you find the crests that go with them, they will allow your Digimon to digivolve one step further past Champion."
"You mean, we get to digivolve again?" Veemon exclaimed happily. "Oh boy!"
"So, where can we find these crest things?" Tyler said as he slipped his tag around his neck.
"They are all located around the continent of Folder." Gennai said as he put the box away. "I believe Pincermon has it on his map."
"Affirmative." Pincermon said. "It is approximately three days' travel from here by ocean."
"So, when do we start?" Lora asked, now getting excited.
"Immediately." Gennai said as he led them out of the room and down the hallway. "It is important that you all find the crests soon. I must also forewarn you that there are also evil Digimon on this continent."
"Don't worry about it." Tyler said as he struck a hero's pose. "We can handle anything that we come across!"
"Yeah!" Veemon said, joining his partner.
"I like your enthusiasm." Gennai said to them. "It will come in handy." The children followed him until they came to a beach on the outside. There, sitting in the surf, was a large creature.
"Ahhh!" Kasumi screamed. "Sea monster!"
"I'm not a sea monster." The creature said in a deep voice. "My name's Whamon."
Digimon Analyzer: Whamon is a large aquatic Digimon who patrols the deep oceans of the Digital World. Don't let his large size fool you, though. He's actually pretty nice.
"I asked Whamon if he can take you all across to Folder." Gennai told them. "He was only too happy to do it since it's not out of the way."
"That's considerate of you." Isaac said to the giant Digimon.
"No problem." Whamon said as he opened his gigantic mouth. "Climb inside and I'll take you all to Folder right away."
"Thanks a lot, Whamon." Tyler said as the group went inside.
"Just be cautious, Chosen Children." Gennai said to them. "There are evil Digimon on Folder that will try to stop you from finding the crests."
"We'll be careful, Gennai!" Lora said as Whamon closed his mouth and moved into the ocean, bound for the continent of Folder.
Meanwhile, from somewhere on Folder, a mysterious person was watching everything that went on from some monitors. His form is shrouded by a cloak.
"So, the Chosen Children are on their way." The figure growled under his breath. "I think that we should prepare for their arrival. Yes."
