Chapter 5: A mysterious and annoying foe.
Megamastermaind: I've returned now, with more of the fic.
Firebrand: So, you finally overcame your cold?
Megamastermaind: Yep, I did.
Phallanx: That's good, for the good of everyone.
Tai: By the way, you said you were going to give us some explanations
Davis: Yeah, time to tell them.
Megamastermaind: Okay, I will (sighs)..to DigiDestined of Courage, Rhapsody and Gema J. Gall.. I thought I said that this story was going to be an adventure just for Tai, Davis, Takato and their Digimon, I have no plans to add anymore characters of the Digimon Crew, specially females.
Firebrand: And for Writermon, we don't have any plans for Biomerge Digivolution either.
Megamastermaind: And I wish to thank DigiDestined of Courage, DJ, and Writermon for answering my questions.
Phallanx: And for Ranma Matsuda, don't worry, Takato won't go viral.
Takato: But I believe someone else will.
Megamastermaind: Who?
Tai: The rest of the Digimon Crew, especially Rika.
(Some mumbles from Rika start to approach)
Rika: When I get my hands on Mega-Dork, I swear I'll..
Megamastermaind: (gulps) Houston, we have a problem..
Davis: Yeah, a real big one, if you ask me.
Phallanx: Before we forget it, Mega doesn't own Digimon, nor Pokemon.
Megamastermaind: Let's head to the story quick, before Rika kills me (Dashes the hell out).
Firebrand: After the encounter with Ash and company, our digi-heroes join them to Pallet Town, but they will soon face a common and annoying foe of the Pokemon Crew.
------------------------------------------------------------
After the little meeting, our digi-heroes head now to Pallet Town, accompanied by Ash, Misty and Brock.
"So, we are we going?" asked Tai
"We'll go to our house first" answered Ash "we'll eat, rest, and then we'll go to Professor Oak"
"Are you sure he'll help us?' asked Davis.
"Sure" responded Misty "he's a brilliant scientist, one of the best"
"That's sounds good" said Tai.
While they were walking, lots of people were watching them, this made Takato feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" asked Brock.
"I don't like seeing those people watching us" answered the Tamer.
"I understand that" said Brock.
"Takato, why are they looking at us?" asked Guilmon.
"People are taking you for newly discovered Pokemon" answered Brock. "They'll need a big explanation"
They kept chatting until they arrived Ash's house. He needed to be really patient, so he could not be able to raze the door to the ground.
"Look who's home" he cried.
"Honey! You came home, I'm so happy to see you" said Mrs Ketchum as she hugged Ash real tight.
"Hi, Mrs. Ketchum" said Misty and Brock
"Oh, hi there" said Mrs. Ketchum "Nice to see you again"
Then, she turned her look to Tai, Davis and Takato.
"I see you brought more friends" she said, then she turned her look at the Digimon "And what lovely Pokemon the ones they have"
"Ma'am, they aren't Pokemon" said Tai.
"They arent? But how come?" asked Mrs. Ketchum.
"It's a long story" answered Takato "We will tell it in a while"
"But first we should give our Digimon the food we brought for them" said Davis.
"Digimon? What's a Digimon?" asked Mrs. Ketchum.
"You'll know in a while, mom" spoke Ash "But first I would like something to eat, would you prepare something to us?"
"Okay" said Mrs. Ketchum and turned her look to Tai, Davis and Takato. "Would you like something to eat, too?"
"No, thanks, Mrs. Ketchum" replied Takato "We already ate before coming here"
"Speaking of that, let's give the food to the Digimon" spoke Davis.
"That's right" said Takato "Here guys, we got some food for you"
"Yay!" cried Agumon.
"I think it'll be good" said Veemon.
"It already smells good" finished Guilmon.
"Did I heard those Pokemon talking?" asked Mrs. Ketchum
"They ain't Pokemon" answered Davis.
"We'll be here feeding up our Digimon" said Tai "Meanwhile, you should have your meal" then, our digi-heroes went to the living room.
"Okay" replied Ash.
He and his friends were having their meals while our digi-heroes were feeding up their Digimon.
"Yum, this is terrific!" cried Veemon.
"Just be careful, Veemon" said Davis "You'll end up choking"
"At least the worrying about the food is gone" pointed out Tai.
"But we should rest, don't you think?" yawned Takato.
Tai and Davis nodded in agreement and they kept watching over their Digimon.
After some minutes, Ash and company finished their meal.
"Oh, gosh" he said "That was some great food" then he turned to Tai, Davis and Takato.
"Are you sure you don't wanna.."
He stopped when he noticed that Tai, Davis and Takato ended up falling asleep. Their Digimon fell asleep as well.
"eat..?"
"I guess they had a really rough day" pointed out Misty.
"Let's allow them to sleep" whispered Brock "They will need their energy for the visit to Professor Oak"
"Okay" agreed Ask "I can't wait to see the Professor's face when he catch site of our new friends"
Then, Ash and company left the living room and let Tai, Davis, Takato and their Digimon have their well deserved nap..
The next morning, our digi-heroes woke up and noticed that Ash and the others were looking at them.
"Wow, you did had a real rough day yesterday" pointed out Misty.
"Yeah, we think so" yawned Tai.
"We definitely needed that nap" said Davis.
"Now we feel ready to go to that professor" finished Takato.
"By the way" said Brock "your Digimon have a real big appetite"
"What?" asked Tai.
"Are they awake?" added Davis.
"Yeah" answered Ash "they woke up an hour ago"
"I presume they ate a lot, didn't they?" asked Takato.
"Well, they can't match a Snorlax, but they kinda ate a lot" answered Mrs Ketchum from the kitchen "And that red Pokemon was just crazy about bread and peanut butter"
"I think she's talking about Guilmon" hissed Davis as he nudged Takato.
"Aww, nuts" hissed back Takato.
"Ma'am they are not Pokemon" said Tai.
"I'll soon learn not to call them Pokemon" apologized Mrs Ketchum, then she turned to her son "Ash, aren't you going to take them to Prof. Oak?"
"Yeah, I was about to do that" said Ash "Let's go, if you're ready"
"We are" replied Takato.
The whole gang left the Ketchum residence and stepped their way to Prof. Oak. On their way they chatted, joked and heard Ash and Misty arguing, but they were enjoying the trip.
But they were unwary that some persons were watching them from far.
"They there are again" spoke one of the stalking persons, who was a young man with blue short hair and a freaky white uniform, with black gloves and boots.
"They cannot escape, this time we have a special surprise for them" spoke the other stalker, who was a young woman with long crimson hair and a uniform similar to the young man's, but instead of pants, she was wearing a skirt.
"And that's not all, they have company, and this company have real rare Pokemon" added the third stalker, who was a talking Meowth.
"This is a day of luck, isn't it" hissed the young man.
"Yes, it is" replied the young woman".
"Now the boss shall give us a big reward" said the talking Meowth..
Meanwhile, our heroes kept walking their way to Prof. Oak's place.
"And this Professor can give us a hand on returning home?" asked Tai.
"We believe" answered Brock "He's a brilliant scientist"
"And you say he's the biggest authority on this Pokemon stuff?" asked Davis.
"Sure" answered Misty.
"I hope we don't have any trouble" sighed Takato.
"Don't worry" said Ash "the only thing that can cause us trouble is Team Rocket"
"Team Rocket?" asked our digi-heroes.
"Yeah" replied Brock "It's an organization that is formed mostly by Pokemon thieves, they use Pokemon only for evil schemes"
"That remind us of some friend of ours who used to be on the wrong path" pointed out Davis.
"They mostly spend their time stealing Pokemon, using them for traffic, and abandoning every Pokemon they consider useless" said Misty.
"But the most annoying thing from that organization are three batty fellows who are always trying to capture Pikachu" finished Ash "Isn't that right, Pikachu?"
"Pika-pi! (Yes, that's right)" answered the Electric Pokemon.
"I presume you deal with them very frequently, right?" said Takato
"Like about three times a week" replied Ash.
The good thing about them is that they ALWAYS fail on each attempt to capture Pikachu or any other Pokemon of ours" added Misty.
"Questions: Why those guys are trying to kidnap your Pikachu? What's the fuss about him?" asked Davis.
"My Pikachu is no ordinary one" explained Ash "He's a real special one, he's able to make real exceptional things, like battling extremely strong Pokemon"
"Now we get it" said Takato.
"But this could be a peaceful day" hissed Ash, proudly.
"Why is that?" asked Tai
"Team Rocket haven't showed up the last two weeks" explained Brock.
"Yeah, today will be a great day" hissed Ash "There will be no Rockets to worry about."
Right after he said that, he and Pikachu fell on a hole in the middle of the road. It was obviously nothing but a trap. Quickly, everyone went to see if they were okay.
"Me and my big mouth." moaned Ash.
"Pikachu! (Our peaceful day is over)" whined Pikachu as well.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Agumon.
"Yeah, we're fine!" yelled Ash from the hole.
In an few minutes, Tai and the others helped Ash and Pikachu to get out of the hole.
"Who would put that trap?" asked Tai.
"I think we know" answered Misty.
"Really? Who did this?" asked Guilmon.
"Who else could be?" replied Brock "No one else but.."
He was soon interrupted by a explosion which alarmed everyone.
"What's going on?" asked Veemon.
Then, they heard taunting laughs from behind and they finally saw the responsible of that explosion: The ones who were stalking them.
"Don't be afraid" hissed the young man.
"That's just our entrance" added the young woman
"Who are you?" demanded Davis.
"Davis, you shouldn't have ask that" sighed Misty..
"To protect the world from devastation!" started the young woman.
"To unite all peoples within our nation!" added the young man.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" continued the young woman
"To exten our reach to the stars above!" said the young man.
"Jessie!" introduced the young woman by telling her name.
"James!" hissed the young man in an introduction manner.
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!" continued Jessie.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" added James
"Meowth, dat's right!" finished Meowth.
All of this left Tai, Davis and Takato with a huge sweatdrop behind their heads.
''What?'' asked Tai
''How ridiculous" whined Takato, the Digimon nodded in agreement.
"Like I said" said Misty "you shouldn't had ask who they were"
"Yeah" pointed out Ash "We are pretty sick of hearing that stupid motto again and again" Naturally, this made Team Rocket angry.
"No one insults our motto!" yelled Jessie.
"It's our beautiful slogan!" growled James.
"Enough chatting" finished Meowth "Let's take want we came for"
"That's right" said Jessie "We are here to capture Pikachu once it for all"
"Not only that" hissed James as he pointed to the Digimon "We are also taking those real rare Pokemon."
"THEY ARE NOT POKEMON!!" yelled Tai, Davis and Takato angrily, tired of having people calling their Digimon 'Pokemon'
"Aw, don't try to cheat us" hissed Meowth "They look just like Pokemon, lying won't save them"
"Let's stop wasting time" said James "It's time to do our job"
Jessie took a bazooka and shot a net with it, which caught the Digimon, only Guilmon escaped.
"Agumon!" yelled Tai
"Veemon!" cried Davis.
"We're okay" yelped Agumon.
"Yeah, the only thing that bothers us is this net" agreed Veemon.
"We'll help you" said Guilmon.
"These Pokemon spoke!" cried James.
"What makes them even rarer!" hissed Jessie.
"For the last time, they ain't Pokemon" whined Davis.
"Don't worry" said Ash, willing to take a Pokeball and fight Team Rocket "We'll help them"
"Wait" interrupted Takato "It's personal for us, so Guilmon and I will take care of this.Ready, boy?''
"Ready" answered Guilmon
" Oh, so you want do it the hard way, huh?" hissed James as he took out his Pokeball "Weezing, attack!"
In a few seconds, Weezing appears in front of Guilmon.
"Weezing, use your Smokescreen!" ordered James.
Weezing started to spread his Smokescreen attack all over the place, what made everything complicated.
"Guilmon, where are you?" asked Takato
"Takato, I can't see" replied Guilmon.
In a moment, the smoke dissipated, leaving everyone back to vision.
"Everyone's okay?" asked Ash.
"Yeah" answered Misty.
"I'm fine" replied Brock
"Pikachu, are you." Ash stopped when he noticed that Pikachu was absent.
"Pikachu, where are you!?" yelled Ash.
"Up here, dorky" hissed a voice.
Everyone looked up to see Team Rocket on their balloon, having Pikachu enclosed in a glass vase, that was annulling all his Electric powers. They also were having Agumon and Veemon inside the net, hanging from the balloon.
"Pikachu!" cried Ash.
"Agumon" yelled Tai.
"Veemon!" shouted Davis.
"That's enough" growled Takato "I'll end this now..Guilmon, after them"
"Okidoki" replied Guilmon as he started to chase the balloon.
"It seems he wants to join the trip" said Meowth.
"Let's give him what he wants" hissed Jessie as she took out her net- shooting bazooka.
"Guilmon, watch out!" cried Tai.
Jessie shot the net straight at Guilmon but Takato was prepared for that.
"We'll take care of this real FAST" said Takato as he took his Modify Cards.
"DIGIMODIFY..SPEED ACTIVATE!!"
Guilmon's speed increased and evaded the net easily. Now he was getting closer to the balloon.
"Quick get us out of here" pleaded Veemon.
"I'll do it in no time" said Takato as he took a Modify Card with a profile of Andromon.
"DIGIMODIFY..ANDROMON'S LIGHTNING BLADE ACTIVATE!!"
With the help of the Modify Card, Guilmon was now ready to free Agumon and Veemon.
"LIGHTNING BLADE!!"
The Lightning Blade made a clean hit out of the net, which broke instantly and freed Agumon and Veemon.
"Whaat!" shouted James.
"He freed them" growled Jessie.
"But we still have Pikachu" hissed Meowth.
"Chu!.Chu (Please save me!)" pleaded Pikachu.
"It won't be for long" said Takato "Guilmon, time to rescue him"
"Are you sure you'll do it?" asked Tai.
"100% Positive" replied Takato..
"DIGIMODIFY..HYPER WINGS ACTIVATE!!"
Three pairs of energy wings appeared on Guilmon's back and he soared up in the air, straight to Team Rocket's balloon.
"How dare you?" growled James "Weezing, use your Sludge!"
Weezing shot his Sludge with the intentions of taking Guilmon down, but he evaded the Sludge with no problem. Then he approached the globe more and more.
"Pika-Pikachu! (Hurry up, Guilmon!)" screeched Pikachu.
Jessie tried to trap him by shooting another net, but it was useless: Guilmon avoided it too and entered the balloon.
"Got it!" he said as he grabbed the vase that contained Pikachu, then he flew away from the balloon.
"Do me a favor, Guilmon!" yelled Ash "Puncture their silly balloon"
"Well..uh..okay!" replied Guilmon as he turned around, facing the balloon.
"PYRO SPHERE!!"
"It can't be!" cried James.
"We failed again!" yelled Jessie.
"How frustating!" mourned Meowth.
The Pyro Sphere hit the balloon and punctured it, because of this, Team Rocket was sent out far into the horizon, putting an end to an annoying situation.
Guilmon landed on the ground and freed Pikachu from the vase he was enclosed.
"Pikachu! You're alright!" cried Ash as he hugged his Pokemon, but being careful of not hugging him real tight (A/N: You may imagine why).
"Chu-Pikachu! (Yeah, I'm alright!)" replied Pikachu as he returned the hug.
"Aw, ain't this sweet?" said Misty.
"Where's a camera when you need one?" asked Brock.
"Well, what matters is that everyone's okay" sighed Tai.
"Yeah, it was really uncomfortable inside that net" said Agumon.
"Thanks to Guilmon, we are all here" grinned Veemon.
"And to Takato as well" added Davis.
"Right" said Ash "Let's give them a hip-hip hooray, guys"
"HIP-HIP HOORAY!!" yelled everyone to Takato and Guilmon.
"Hey, you shouldn't have bothered" said Takato, ashamed.
"Why not? You deserve it" replied Brock.
"We didn't do anything spectacular, it's just something we do about five times a week" said Takato.
"But you saved us" replied Agumon.
"And that gives you a lot of credit" said Veemon.
"Chu! (I agree)" ageed Pikachu.
"What do you think, boy?" asked Takato to Guilmon.
"What's a credit?" he asked innocently.
Everyone laughed at Guilmon's innocent little question.
"Okay, now that Team Rocket is out of the way, let's continue our way to Professor Oak's place" said Tai.
"You're right" replied Ash "Let's get going"
And then, the gang resumed their trip to Professor Oak's house, where our digi-heroes will get the so desired help..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Davis: What a cool chapter.
Tai: I agree, Mega is been doing good..
Takato: By the way, where is he?
(Mega comes out, beaten up badly)
Firebrand: What happened?
Megamastermaind: (Weakly) Does the word "tomboy" rings a bell?
Davis: But you can Dash, how could Rika managed to reach you if you're faster than her?
Megamastermaind: Some biped fox came around and gave her a hand.
Tai: Geez, I can't believe that Rika could be that impulsive.
Takato: You tellin' me, I deal with her everyday.
(Rika's mumbles are starting to be heard again)
Takato: Uh, oh.
Megamastermaind: We better get outta here, before she gets Takato and me
Takato: Come on, she just beat you up a while ago, what makes you think that Rika can beat up the both of us?
Megamastermaind: What makes you think that Renamon CAN'T beat up the both of us?
(Takato gulps)
Firebrand: It's just me or I'm hearing that some redhead and a golden fox are coming this way?
Davis: Run for your lives.
Megamastermaind: Don't need to say that twice..Till next chapter, my friends, see you around.
Megamastermaind: I've returned now, with more of the fic.
Firebrand: So, you finally overcame your cold?
Megamastermaind: Yep, I did.
Phallanx: That's good, for the good of everyone.
Tai: By the way, you said you were going to give us some explanations
Davis: Yeah, time to tell them.
Megamastermaind: Okay, I will (sighs)..to DigiDestined of Courage, Rhapsody and Gema J. Gall.. I thought I said that this story was going to be an adventure just for Tai, Davis, Takato and their Digimon, I have no plans to add anymore characters of the Digimon Crew, specially females.

Phallanx: And for Ranma Matsuda, don't worry, Takato won't go viral.
Takato: But I believe someone else will.
Megamastermaind: Who?
Tai: The rest of the Digimon Crew, especially Rika.
(Some mumbles from Rika start to approach)
Rika: When I get my hands on Mega-Dork, I swear I'll..
Megamastermaind: (gulps) Houston, we have a problem..
Davis: Yeah, a real big one, if you ask me.
Phallanx: Before we forget it, Mega doesn't own Digimon, nor Pokemon.
Megamastermaind: Let's head to the story quick, before Rika kills me (Dashes the hell out).
Firebrand: After the encounter with Ash and company, our digi-heroes join them to Pallet Town, but they will soon face a common and annoying foe of the Pokemon Crew.
------------------------------------------------------------
After the little meeting, our digi-heroes head now to Pallet Town, accompanied by Ash, Misty and Brock.
"So, we are we going?" asked Tai

They kept chatting until they arrived Ash's house. He needed to be really patient, so he could not be able to raze the door to the ground.
"Look who's home" he cried.
"Honey! You came home, I'm so happy to see you" said Mrs Ketchum as she hugged Ash real tight.
"Hi, Mrs. Ketchum" said Misty and Brock
"Oh, hi there" said Mrs. Ketchum "Nice to see you again"
Then, she turned her look to Tai, Davis and Takato.
"I see you brought more friends" she said, then she turned her look at the Digimon "And what lovely Pokemon the ones they have"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" added James
"Meowth, dat's right!" finished Meowth.

"Aw, don't try to cheat us" hissed Meowth "They look just like Pokemon, lying won't save them"
"Let's stop wasting time" said James "It's time to do our job"
Jessie took a bazooka and shot a net with it, which caught the Digimon, only Guilmon escaped.
"Agumon!" yelled Tai
"Veemon!" cried Davis.
"We're okay" yelped Agumon.
"Yeah, the only thing that bothers us is this net" agreed Veemon.
"We'll help you" said Guilmon.
"These Pokemon spoke!" cried James.
"What makes them even rarer!" hissed Jessie.
"For the last time, they ain't Pokemon" whined Davis.
"Don't worry" said Ash, willing to take a Pokeball and fight Team Rocket "We'll help them"
"Wait" interrupted Takato "It's personal for us, so Guilmon and I will take care of this.Ready, boy?''
"Ready" answered Guilmon
" Oh, so you want do it the hard way, huh?" hissed James as he took out his Pokeball "Weezing, attack!"
In a few seconds, Weezing appears in front of Guilmon.
"Weezing, use your Smokescreen!" ordered James.
Weezing started to spread his Smokescreen attack all over the place, what made everything complicated.
"Guilmon, where are you?" asked Takato
"Takato, I can't see" replied Guilmon.
In a moment, the smoke dissipated, leaving everyone back to vision.
"Everyone's okay?" asked Ash.
"Yeah" answered Misty.
"I'm fine" replied Brock
"Pikachu, are you." Ash stopped when he noticed that Pikachu was absent.
"Pikachu, where are you!?" yelled Ash.
"Up here, dorky" hissed a voice.
Everyone looked up to see Team Rocket on their balloon, having Pikachu enclosed in a glass vase, that was annulling all his Electric powers. They also were having Agumon and Veemon inside the net, hanging from the balloon.
"Pikachu!" cried Ash.
"Agumon" yelled Tai.
"Veemon!" shouted Davis.
"That's enough" growled Takato "I'll end this now..Guilmon, after them"
"Okidoki" replied Guilmon as he started to chase the balloon.
"It seems he wants to join the trip" said Meowth.
"Let's give him what he wants" hissed Jessie as she took out her net- shooting bazooka.
"Guilmon, watch out!" cried Tai.
Jessie shot the net straight at Guilmon but Takato was prepared for that.
"We'll take care of this real FAST" said Takato as he took his Modify Cards.
"DIGIMODIFY..SPEED ACTIVATE!!"
Guilmon's speed increased and evaded the net easily. Now he was getting closer to the balloon.
"Quick get us out of here" pleaded Veemon.
"I'll do it in no time" said Takato as he took a Modify Card with a profile of Andromon.
"DIGIMODIFY..ANDROMON'S LIGHTNING BLADE ACTIVATE!!"
With the help of the Modify Card, Guilmon was now ready to free Agumon and Veemon.
"LIGHTNING BLADE!!"
The Lightning Blade made a clean hit out of the net, which broke instantly and freed Agumon and Veemon.
"Whaat!" shouted James.
"He freed them" growled Jessie.
"But we still have Pikachu" hissed Meowth.
"Chu!.Chu (Please save me!)" pleaded Pikachu.
"It won't be for long" said Takato "Guilmon, time to rescue him"
"Are you sure you'll do it?" asked Tai.
"100% Positive" replied Takato..
"DIGIMODIFY..HYPER WINGS ACTIVATE!!"
Three pairs of energy wings appeared on Guilmon's back and he soared up in the air, straight to Team Rocket's balloon.
"How dare you?" growled James "Weezing, use your Sludge!"
Weezing shot his Sludge with the intentions of taking Guilmon down, but he evaded the Sludge with no problem. Then he approached the globe more and more.
"Pika-Pikachu! (Hurry up, Guilmon!)" screeched Pikachu.
Jessie tried to trap him by shooting another net, but it was useless: Guilmon avoided it too and entered the balloon.
"Got it!" he said as he grabbed the vase that contained Pikachu, then he flew away from the balloon.
"Do me a favor, Guilmon!" yelled Ash "Puncture their silly balloon"
"Well..uh..okay!" replied Guilmon as he turned around, facing the balloon.
"PYRO SPHERE!!"
"It can't be!" cried James.
"We failed again!" yelled Jessie.
"How frustating!" mourned Meowth.
The Pyro Sphere hit the balloon and punctured it, because of this, Team Rocket was sent out far into the horizon, putting an end to an annoying situation.
Guilmon landed on the ground and freed Pikachu from the vase he was enclosed.
"Pikachu! You're alright!" cried Ash as he hugged his Pokemon, but being careful of not hugging him real tight (A/N: You may imagine why).
"Chu-Pikachu! (Yeah, I'm alright!)" replied Pikachu as he returned the hug.
"Aw, ain't this sweet?" said Misty.
"Where's a camera when you need one?" asked Brock.
"Well, what matters is that everyone's okay" sighed Tai.
"Yeah, it was really uncomfortable inside that net" said Agumon.
"Thanks to Guilmon, we are all here" grinned Veemon.
"And to Takato as well" added Davis.
"Right" said Ash "Let's give them a hip-hip hooray, guys"
"HIP-HIP HOORAY!!" yelled everyone to Takato and Guilmon.
"Hey, you shouldn't have bothered" said Takato, ashamed.
"Why not? You deserve it" replied Brock.
"We didn't do anything spectacular, it's just something we do about five times a week" said Takato.
"But you saved us" replied Agumon.
"And that gives you a lot of credit" said Veemon.
"Chu! (I agree)" ageed Pikachu.
"What do you think, boy?" asked Takato to Guilmon.
"What's a credit?" he asked innocently.
Everyone laughed at Guilmon's innocent little question.
"Okay, now that Team Rocket is out of the way, let's continue our way to Professor Oak's place" said Tai.
"You're right" replied Ash "Let's get going"
And then, the gang resumed their trip to Professor Oak's house, where our digi-heroes will get the so desired help..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Davis: What a cool chapter.
Tai: I agree, Mega is been doing good..
Takato: By the way, where is he?
(Mega comes out, beaten up badly)
Firebrand: What happened?
Megamastermaind: (Weakly) Does the word "tomboy" rings a bell?
Davis: But you can Dash, how could Rika managed to reach you if you're faster than her?
Megamastermaind: Some biped fox came around and gave her a hand.
Tai: Geez, I can't believe that Rika could be that impulsive.
Takato: You tellin' me, I deal with her everyday.
(Rika's mumbles are starting to be heard again)
Takato: Uh, oh.
Megamastermaind: We better get outta here, before she gets Takato and me
Takato: Come on, she just beat you up a while ago, what makes you think that Rika can beat up the both of us?
Megamastermaind: What makes you think that Renamon CAN'T beat up the both of us?
(Takato gulps)
Firebrand: It's just me or I'm hearing that some redhead and a golden fox are coming this way?
Davis: Run for your lives.
Megamastermaind: Don't need to say that twice..Till next chapter, my friends, see you around.
