Chapter Thirty-One: The Legacy


The Poke Destined have appeared in a site that is too familiar to them, Bushemon's abandoned base.

Misty: Not this place again!

Gary: I know. I wonder if Daemon is still around here somewhere.

Ash: I doubt it. With Bushemon destroyed, he's probably out there trying to regain power in this world. He could be the cause of all this.

(A figure starts to walk toward them.)

Al: That's a good theory, Ash, but a wrong one.

Gary: Al Gore? What are you doing here?

Al: Don't look so suprised, Gary. I aligned the worlds. I opened the gateway. Don't you think that I would be able get here if I wanted to?

Brock: You're the one causing all this?

Al: No, no. I'm sorry if I gave you that impression. I'm here to find you four.

Gary: What would you need to find us for?

Al: Because I know who is behind this.

Ash: Well, who is it?

Al: Bushemon.

Misty: Bushemon?! But, we saw him destroyed in the gate of destiny!

Al: That didn't destroy him. Somehow the energy of the digimon attacks and the null time pocket collapsing turned the gate of destiny into a gateway to another world. Since then, Bushemon has completely molded that world to his own design.

Ash: Why were we called here? We did our part and freed the digidestined. Why don't they fight him now? His Unconstitutional Authority attack won't work on them anymore.

Al: You're right they could fight him, if their digimon were still around.

Gary: That energy wave killed their digimon?

Al: No, it reset them. All the other digimon in the Digital World were reset, too. The only ones that were immune were demon digimon. Now, they control most of this world. The digidestined digimon are able to make it to their in-training forms now, but it will be weeks before they can get to their rookie levels. Only a few digidestined digimon remained at their current power, but no one that could help you.

Gary: So what do we do?

Al: Do you remember when Celebi was destroyed?

Gary: Yeah, I did a bunch of research on him after that. He said right to me, "Claim the legacy." I have no idea what he meant by that.

Al: Well I do. I've searched through billions of documents on the Internet and found information on what he meant. The data spoke of four pieces, well hidden, that contain the powers of the legacy.

Gary: Yeah, but what is this legacy?

Al: Do you remember when he disappeared? He split into four beams: red, yellow, blue, and black and white. Those were the pieces of the legacy. They were thrown into four different dimensions.

Misty: What dimensions?

Al: Earth, the Poke World, the Digital World, and the dimension that we can call the Bushey World.

Gary: What is the deal with this Bushey World? Is it what's causing this dimensional rift?

Al: Yes. The Bushey World is on another plane of existence than the other dimensions out there. Its force is pulling the other worlds out of sync and distorting their reality.

Ash: So you want us to find the four pieces of this legacy?

Al: Yes. But it won't be easy. Like I told you before, Bushemon is still out there, and now is more formidable than ever. Wit the legacy, we may be able to stop Bushemon. Without it, the digidestined might not be able to protect Earth this time.

Ash: Why should we care what happens to Earth?

Al: Because, Earth is what keeps all the dimensions together. Without it, your world can't exist either.

Gary: Well, we should get going. How will we know this legacy when we see it?

Al: All of the data describing the legacy is vague.
(He holds up a card.)
This card contains all the data that I have collected. Slash it through your digivices to get the info.

Gary: Pokemodify! Legacy data activate!

Misty: Pokemodify! Legacy data activate!

Ash: Pokemodify! Legacy data activate!

Brock: Pokemodify! Legacy data activate!

Al: You must work quickly. I have no doubt that Bushemon is searching for the legacy, too. And who knows what other beings could be looking for it. I would recommend that you each take a different world. Gary's digivices is the only one strong enough to access the Bushey World, so he has to take that one.

Misty: There's no way that I'm going back to Earth.

Brock: I'll go to Earth. Who knows what I could find there?
(He chuckles.)

Ash: I'll stay in the Digital World. Pikachu is really powerful here.

Al: Before you leave, you should know that Bushemon still has 12 mega digimon under his control: his Cabinet warriors. Their information was in that card. They have the ability to open a portal to any world, so keep an eye out for them.

Gary: Good luck you guys. Be careful, Misty. Let's go! Digiport open!
(He is sucked through the main screen to the B

shey World.)

Misty: Digiport open!
(She returns to the Poke World.)

Brock: Digiport open!
(With a big smile on his face, Brock is sucked into Earth. Al Gore goes with him. Ash and Pikachu are left alone.)
