Disclaimer: For the minuscule portion of you who are BRAINDEAD IDIOTS, I DON'T own Digimon. Not that I wouldn't like to, but I don't Toei Animation, Saban, Fox Kids, and those Japanese people own Digimon, not me. There are lots of Digimon that I've created for the sole purpose of putting them in this story, so if you see a name you don't recognize, it's probably one of my creations. There will be a list at the end of the fic, and in the Author's Note at the beginning of every chapter, I'll put the names of my creations for that particular chapter, as well as the origin of some Digimon you may not recognize.

Author's Note: Comments, suggestions, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism welcome. Flames will be answered by a multitude of things from my army of faithful and loyal (and powerful) Digimon. The following Digimon are 100% my creations. If there are actual Digimon with these names, oops, and sorry to whoever created them. Here they are: Ellmon, Sproutmon, Bubblemon, Embermon, Birdlingmon, and Pebblemon. OK, enjoy the story!

Chapter Three: Digimon In-Training:

            "What happened after that?" Izzy asked.

            "Well, it's a little foggy from there, since each one of us woke up alone, well, not quite alone......" Kimi said, beginning her story.

Flashback:

            I stared up at some unfamiliar trees. I couldn't tell where I was, all I could tell is that I wasn't in New York.

            "Where am I?" I asked, groggily. I definitely had a headache. I sat up, and looked around. I appeared to be in a tropical rainforest of some sort.

            "How did I get here?" I asked, to particularly no one. I stood up, and looked around again.

            "I'm not too sure, but I don't think I'm anywhere near New York. There aren't any rainforests near there," I said.

            "I don't know where New York is, but you aren't there! You're in Digiworld!" a squeaky voice said from somewhere in front of me.      

            "Who said that?" I asked.

            "I did!" the voice said, and there was a rustling in the tree in the path ahead of me. Out of the leafy top of the weird tree, fell a small, fuzzy, yellow thing. It looked like a plush toy with feet, eyes, and a mouth. It didn't have any arms, a nose, or ears. I cried out in surprise, falling backwards onto the oddly green colored ground.

            "What are you?" I asked, quivering. Whatever this thing was, it was freaky.

            "My name is Ellmon, and I'm a Digimon!" the furry thing replied.

            "Digimon?" I asked, terrified out of my mind. Even if it was a little, harmless looking, cute plush toy with feet, I was still scared out of my wits of it.

            "Yes, Digimon, Digital Monsters!" Ellmon replied.

            "Digital?" I asked. Suddenly, it dawned on me. "Digi is short for Digital! Of course!"  

            "What are you so excited about, Kimiki?" Ellmon asked. I stopped, stunned.

            "How did you know my name?" I asked.

            "Because I'm your Digimon partner, and you're one of the Digidestined humans destined to save the Digital World!" Ellmon replied, excited. I blinked, remembering the strange tiger things words.

            "Could that tiger have been a Digimon?"

            "So...what exactly do I have to do? And did you see any other kids around here?" I asked..

            "Well...right now we've got to get out of here!" Ellmon exclaimed, suddenly nervous.           

            "Why?" I asked.           

            "Don't you hear that?" Ellmon asked.

            "Hear what?" I asked, and suddenly, I heard it. A distant roaring noise!

            "Run! Tyrannomon is coming!" Ellmon exclaimed, and started bouncing away. I followed.

            "Tyrannomon?" I asked. That kinda sounded like Tyrannosaurus...

            "Oh no! The giant dinosaur! He's still after us!" I exclaimed, and picked up the pace.

            "Wait up!" Ellmon exclaimed, and I picked the furry Digimon up. I was sprinting now, because the noise was getting closer! I dodged in-between trees and weaved through tall grass. Now I could feel the ground shaking: the Tyrannomon was getting closer! I looked back over my shoulder and spotted the giant red dinosaur, Tyrannomon. He was stomping closer and closer to us.

            "Whoa! Help, help!" a voice ahead of me exclaimed. I turned to look, and smashed into April. I tumbled over, and to the ground. Ellmon flew out of my hands and bounced a few feet away. I sat up. April screamed, loudly. Tyrannomon was almost to where we were! April stood up quickly, holding a green, seed-looking thing. It had a sprout coming out of it's head. Could it be a Digimon? The Tyrannomon stomped up to us, and roared.

            "Now I'll finish the job! You're through, Digidestined!" the red dinosaur exclaimed, and raised his foot in the air. We were going to be pancakes! Suddenly...

            "Bubble Blow!" Ellmon exclaimed, and swooshed past me. The furry, yellow Digimon shot a blast of pink bubbles into Tyrannomon's eyes, and slammed into him. Tyrannomon lost his balance and fell backwards.

            "Ellmon!" I exclaimed. Ellmon bounced over the top of Tyrannomon's giant foot.

            "Hurry, before he gets up!" Ellmon exclaimed, and I caught her. We dashed off in the other direction.

            "So, you've got one too?" April asked me, as we were running away.

            "Yup, this is Ellmon," I said, introducing them.

            "This is Sproutmon, isn't she cute?" April asked. She obviously didn't care that she was talking about a talking seed. She didn't seem afraid of it at all... We were running pretty fast now, when we suddenly heard a voice yell to us.

            "Over here you guys!" a boy's voice yelled. We stopped in our tracks, and looked around. Standing to our left, on top of a small hill, was the boy dressed in blue!

            "Hey! Boy are we glad to see you, uh, what was your name again?" April asked, as we climbed up the hill.        

            "Nick, call me Nick," he said. Beside him was a....weird looking creature. It was a small, black ball with eyes and a mouth, surrounded by a force field of some sort, a bubble, I guess.

            "I suggest we get out of here, and fast, the Tyrannomon will be here soon," I exclaimed, nervously, looking back the way we had come.

            "Tyrannomon? You mean that giant Dinosaur? He's a Digimon too?" Nick asked.

            "Yeah..." I said, intrigued.

            "How do you know what Digimon are...and is that thing a Digimon?" April asked.

            "Hey, this thing is my Digimon, Bubblemon, and he is the one that told me what Digimon were," Nick replied, acting offended. Bubblemon laughed.

            "That's OK, Nick, I didn't know what humans were until you told me," the strange little Digimon replied. Suddenly, we all turned our heads in surprise. Tyrannomon was back on the chase!

            "Doesn't this guy ever give up?" I asked, and we bolted down the hill.

            "Hey! Wait up!" someone else yelled to us, and we turned our heads. The Tyrannomon was at the top of the hill taking a breath, but where did that voice come from?

            "Randy!" Nick exclaimed, and we turned our heads to Nick. Running beside Nick was the redhead from the airport. Obviously, Nick knew him. Randy was holding a small, rocklike Digimon with flames coming out of the top of it's head.

            "Hey Nick! Man, am I glad to see you!" Randy replied.    

            "So, you've got a Digimon too!" I exclaimed.

            "I don't know what a Digimon is, but this is Embermon," Randy said, gesturing to Embermon.            

            "Yeah, he's a Digimon, just like Ellmon, Sproutmon, and Bubblemon here," I replied.

            "Oh, well it's nice to meet all of you," he said, addressing the Digimon.

            "Same here!" Ellmon said, but was interrupted by a loud roar. Tyrannomon was back on the chase! We ran down the side of the hill, which was very, very tall and steep on this side, and finally reached the bottom, which turned out to be a dead end! We couldn't run any further! Tyrannomon ran down the hill, and stomped up to us.

            "Now what?" Randy asked.

            "Now, I destroy you, and my master will reward me!" Tyrannomon exclaimed, and raised a giant claw into the air. Ellmon, Sproutmon, Bubblemon, and Embermon suddenly jumped forward.

            "What?" we all asked.   

            "Bubble Blow!" they all said, and shot pink bubbles into Tyrannomon. Unfortunately, that only angered him further, and he slashed at the four Digimon with his claw. He swatted them out of the way like flies.

            "Annoying In-Training pets! Now, prepare to meet your fate Digidestined!" Tyrannomon exclaimed, and raised his huge, gigantic, massive foot.

            "Hey, up here Dino Breath!" someone yelled, right before Tyrannomon was about to bring his foot down and destroy us. Tyrannomon turned to look, and got blasted in the eyes with another barrage of bubbles. He fell backwards, toward us, and we jumped out of the way. We rolled out of harm's way, and over to our Digimon. In front of us, two more Digimon landed. We looked up to the top of the hill. The other two kids at the airport were standing up there! The girl in orange and yellow, and younger kid! We looked from them, to the two new Digimon. They looked like a little bird, and a large rock, with eyes and a mouth. They turned to us.

            "Greetings, I am Birdlingmon, Wendy's Digimon," the little bird said, in a chirpy voice.

            "And I am Pebblemon, Will's Digimon," the rock introduced.

            "Uh, hi," I said.

            "Are you guys all right?" Wendy asked, as she ran up to us, with Will behind.

            "Yeah, we're OK, but our Digimon took a beating," April said, gesturing to the four fallen Digimon. Ellmon sat up, shakily.

            "We can handle it," she said. The other three sat up, or opened their eyes at least.

            "Are you sure you're OK?" Nick asked Bubblemon.

            "Of course, Tyrannomon just caught us off guard," Bubblemon replied.

            "Uh, speaking of, it looks like Tyrannomon's back up!" Randy exclaimed. We all turned to look, horrified. Tyrannomon sat up, and angrily shook his head.

            "RUN!!!" Wendy yelled.

            "Where? There's nowhere to run!" Will pointed out.

            "Then what do we do?" April asked.

            "We fight!" Ellmon exclaimed from behind us, and bounced past us, followed by the five other Digimon.

            "Wait!" Wendy exclaimed. They bounced toward Tyrannomon.

            "No! You'll get creamed for sure! Come back!" Nick yelled.

            "It's too risky Sproutmon!" April called after her Digimon.

            "Embermon!" Randy shouted.

            "Pebblemon! Be careful!" Will added.

            "No, Ellmon! Wait!" I yelled. They formed a line and shot Bubble Blows at Tyrannomon. The giant Digimon waved them away with his enormous claw.

            "We need more power!" Sproutmon exclaimed. They turned around to us.

            "Help us!" they all shouted simultaneously. Suddenly, our Digivices were activated, just like last time we were fighting the Tyrannomon. We got them out to check them, and a multicolored light came from out of the sky, and shot down onto the six Digimon. We held out our Digivices with wonder.

            "Ellmon, Digivolve to....Voltomon!"

            "Bubblemon Digivolve to.....Syakomon!"

            "Sproutmon Digivolve to......Floramon!"

            "Embermon Digivolve to......Flamemon!"

            "Birdlingmon Digivolve to.....Sparrowmon!"

            "Pebblemon Digivolve to......Tapirmon!" The lights disappeared, and our Digivices returned to normal. Standing in the place of our former Digimon were these six new ones.

            "What happened?" Will asked.

            "They're bigger!" Randy exclaimed. The six Digimon turned to us.

            "We Digivolved!" Voltomon said.

            "Digivolved?" Wendy asked. Sparrowmon nodded.

            "We gained more power and changed shape, like evolving," Flamemon replied.

            "Does that mean you can beat Tyrannomon?" Will asked.

            "We'll soon see," Syakomon said, as they turned back around to face the stunned Tyrannomon.

            "Good luck," we said.
