Chapter 5… Yeah baby – yeah!
So the latest issue of the Nintendo magazine I get came out today, and as I was reading through the letters page, I came across a very funny letter from… our own Trowa Barton! I swear to you the letter has Trowa Barton on the bottom of it! This made me fall about laughing when I read that letter, and I have to know, SSJMaster Trunks, you wouldn't have written that letter to the mag would you? Cause if you did I've got some words for you – saves your reading them next issue!!!

Digidestined united: Another one is born!
It had been a week since Kerry Moniko and Riku Kakera had reviled themselves as tamers and it had been bothering Shawn. He had barely learned the story behind Joanna and Shonecoolamon and now there were more to learn about. Shawn wondered if they had gotten their digimon around the same time as him, and also if they knew if there were any more of them. Shawn thought about grabbing them at the regional tournament, which was being re-held that weekend.
Speaking of the tournament, Shawn had been researching the two tamers, seeing what he could uncover in the digimon world (or should that be digimon card world, now that digimon DO exist). Kerry & Riku are about the same level of play. 'playing one is like playing the other' a friend told Shawn. Kerry seemingly came out of nowhere into the game, almost as if he had a sudden interest in the game. Riku on the other hand was an expert. She had played in every major tournament and had ranked very well. The main thing that kept occurring was that since Kerry appeared on the scene, at every tournament one was entered, 9 times out of 10 the other was entered as well.
Shawn kept that thought in his mind as he wondered through the town. He knew that if Kerry was in the tournament, then a good chance was that Riku was as well. Shawn decided last week that he needed a couple of new cards for the tournament and ordered them online, being delivered to his usual shop. Shawn was on his way to pick them up when he crashed into someone.
"Oh, sorry" Shawn said as he snapped back to reality. He looked up to see an angry face staring back at him, black hair tied in a ponytail. "Jo. Funny bumping into you here." Shawn commented. Joanna stood up and turned her back on Shawn. He noticed she changed her look slightly, apart from the hair change she changed her long-sleeved purple shirt to a black sleeveless one. Black fingerless gloves and a silver chain with a wolf on it completed her look. "Ok, Sorry JOANNA" He apologised. Joanna continued to ignore him and started to walk off with Shawn following. "Oh come on Joanna, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. Will you say something?" Shawn grabbed Joanna's arm and spun her around. They looked eyes before Joanna spoke up.
"What!" She demanded.
"Jesus Christ Jo, you could have acknowledged that I'm sorry for crashing into you!" Shawn angrily said before calming down and saying. "So, what are you doing down town?"
"What is it that makes you want to know every little thing I do?" Joanna asked.
"It's not just you, I'm curious to what all my friends are doing." Shawn commented
"I'm your friend?" Joanna asked in a 'your crazy' way.
"Well, you have a digimon and I have a digimon, so yeah I'm gonna say that we're friends." Shawn deduced.
"Talking about digimon, where is the little rat?" Joanna, who couldn't believe she was doing it, asked.
"Technically he's more like a rabbit, and he's at home." Shawn said. "Now that I've answered your question, you answer mine. What are you doing down town?" he re-asked.
"Trying to find a place that sells cards" Joanna said, staring through a window of a multi-purpose shop.
"Ah, then you may want to follow me cause I know the best place in town." Shawn said walking away. Joanna turned around and looked at Shawn.
'It's a long shot,' Joanna thought 'but what the hell.' She walked quickly to catch up to the bigheaded card player walking away from her. They arrived at a small shop in the middle of town. Shawn started to open the door, when Joanna noticed something. "I've been to this shop, it doesn't sell anything." She said. Shawn continued walking in.
"You haven't been looking in the right places then." Shawn commented back walking inside. Joanna followed. Shawn led her to the back corner of the shop, towards a door labelled 'authorised entry only.' Shawn looked around, with Joanna looking on quizzically. Shawn looked at the middle aged female on the counter at the front of the store, who nodded her head. Shawn knocked on the door three times in code and when a knock came back, Shawn entered into the room pulling Joanna inside.
Joanna was awestruck a she entered the, compared to the shop, medium size room. It was filled with digimon cards. All type of cards lined the shelves, from the basic cards to the rarest of special cards. Shawn walked up to the middle aged man behind the counter and started a conversation.
"Hey Joe, sup." Shawn started.
"Not much" Joe, the man behind the counter, said. He nodded over in Joanna's direction.
"Don't worry, she's with me. That's the shadow tamer." Shawn vouched.
"Wait, that's the infamous shadow tamer?" A new, male voice arose from behind Shawn. Shawn turned around to look him, and realised who it was.
"Hey, Kyle." Shawn said shaking Kyle's hand. "Yeah man, that's the shadow tamer alright." Shawn confirmed.
"Wow, she doesn't look as impressive in person." Kyle said. Joanna turned around to look at Kyle angrily. Kyle turned to Joe behind the counter, as did Shawn. "Good hearing though" Joe and Shawn nodded.
"So getting ready for the tournament?" Shawn asked Kyle.
"Yeah." Kyle nodded "Just picking up some special cards to play. You?"
"Yeah, ordered some online to be delivered here, which reminds me." Shawn turned to Joe, who was ahead of him
"Got them right here, came in a couple of days ago." Joe said, pulling up a brown paper bag with 'Shawn Williams' written on it. "It's all in there, anything else you want?" He asked.
"Yeah, put in a couple of refill pack as well" Shawn said before walking over to Joanna who was awestruck looking at the cards.
"You getting anything?" He asked
"I can't believe this is a clandestine." She said looking at the cards before turning to Shawn to say, "What's worse is you know about it."
"I know them all, benefit of being world class." Shawn boasted as Joanna turned back to the cards. "You getting anything?" Shawn asked again.
"Couple cards" Joanna muttered, still looking at the shelves full of cards.
"Well let's go." Shawn said picking up the brown bag and a receipt, walking out with Kyle. Joanna walked up to the counter in the room with a few cards. Joe bagged the cards and gave Joanna a receipt.
"You…" Joe started to explain before Joanna cut him off
"I know how it works." Joanna said, walking out of the room. She walked up to the main counter in the shop, with Kyle and Shawn standing there, waiting for her. She presented the receipt to the female clerk, and then paid. All three left the shop and walked down the street.
"Hey, Kyle Novich nice to meet you" Kyle said sticking out his hand. Joanna ignored him. He turned to Shawn and whispered "I thought she was your friend."
"Yeah, well its more of a love hate relationship," Shawn whispered back "I love the idea of us being friends, but she hates it!" The three continued to walk down the street and Kyle opened up on of the booster packs he bought and looked through the cards.
"Anybody see a card like this?" Kyle asked as he presented a card from a booster pack to the other two. They both looked at the card, slightly surprised at it.
"Err… no" both nervously answered. Kyle looked at the fully blue card before shrugging and putting it in his pocket. The two tamers looked at each other nervously, before Joanna's face became cold again and she walked off.
"Bye" Kyle said to Joanna as she walked away. She ignored him. "Wow, that's a cold shoulder." Kyle commented
"No," Shawn started "more like an Antarctic body." Shawn joked as he wondered what Kyle was going to do when he slashed the blue card through a reader.
Kyle got home an hour later. He entered his house, which he soon found empty. His first job was to check out his new cards, so he went straight to his room and got his card reader out. First he scanned his new Centarumon's hyper blast card, noting it was a good card to have got. Then he moved on to his booster pack that he bought, and remembered the solid blue card. He took the card from the pack and brought it up to the reader. Kyle slowly brought the card to the reader and pulled it through. The reader went crazy with electric sparks flying off it. Kyle dropped it the second he got an electric shock, and watched it hit the ground.
'Oh man, I just got that thing.' Kyle thought as the reader still produced electricity. It then started to metamorphose into a green D-arc. Kyle looked at it in utter astonishment, afraid to touch it in case it wasn't real. He soon found the courage to pick up the D-arc and looked around it, completely amazed. After staring at for minutes in utter silence, his mother walked into the house, and into his room, calling him for dinner. Kyle put the D-arc down on his desk and forgot about it completely.
Shawn lay on his bed with Terriermon in his own 'bed' underneath Shawn's.
"So you say it was a blue card?" Terriermon asked
"Yep." Shawn said, still in deep thought,
"Like the one you slashed through to get me?" Terriermon asked
"Yep" Shawn replied again
"And like Jo did to get that Renamon reject?" Terriermon asked again
"Yep." Shawn said in the same tone.
"So this Kyle's probably gonna be a tamer like us?"
"Yep." Shawn again said
"Is that all your gonna say?" Terriermon asked
"Yep." Shawn answered.
"So you're in love with Joanna then?" Terriermon slyly asked.
"Yep…" Shawn said before realising what he said and snapped back to reality "No, wait, no I didn't mean that." Shawn panicked. Terriermon kept on teasing his friend throughout the night.
The next afternoon, Kyle got home from a gruelling day at school and plonked himself in front of his computer. He turned the PC on and waited while it booted up. As the PC beeped, indicating that it was working properly, and started to load the operating system, Kyle's eyes started to drift around the room. His computer had finished loading when Kyle's eyes came across the green digivice lying on his table. Kyle slowly picked up the D-arc and as he did a bright white light glowed and burst out of it onto the computer screen. Kyle dropped the D-arc, which stopped glowing and landed on his lap. A small, quadrapedal dragon crawled out of the computer, completely surprising Kyle.
"Hi," The small dragon said. "My name is Drakemon."
"Your real." Kyle said bewildered
"Of course I'm real. If I wasn't real I wouldn't be able to do this…" The small dragon jumped onto Kyle's head and ran down his back onto the floor. "Tada." It announced
"Not much of a trick." Kyle mumbled. "I can't believe you're a real digimon." Kyle said
"Of course I'm real, don't you know digimon are real." Drakemon said.
"Well no, they're figments of fiction." Kyle stated
"Do I look like a figment of fiction?" Drakemon asked, not even sure what it meant.
"Well no." Kyle said
"That's because I'm real. Digimon are real and I should know being a digimon." Drakemon announced. "Guess that makes you a tamer." He suggested nodding to the D-arc.
Kyle and Drakemon continued their conversation throughout the evening, Drakemon learning about Kyle and what he knew about digimon, and Kyle learning about Drakemon and being corrected on some of the basic facts of digimon. But little did they know about the other tamers that were in the city at that time, and the one that wasn't…
Yeah end of chapter 5. I'm getting quicker at writing these chapters. Come back next weekend when the last tamer is introduced in Not a Million Miles Away…
