Sora walked through the halls of Geni's impressive home. The air was tense, because she and all of her friends know that this day would be there final battle with Izzy's creation, the dread Demonicamon. Tai , Matt and Joe, Had gone out earlier, to scout out how close Demonicamon was to their location. She seemed to be cutting a path through the Digiworld, each day getting closer. With all of the Digimon out of action, and stuck as digi-eggs, Sora would have been worried to death at the thought of her friends out there with that monster. She knows that they have Ash's Pokemon with them, and that help belayed some of her fear. Ash. As hard as she might she couldn't stop thinking about her friend from a different world. Over and over again Ash had proved him self to be a strong, fearless and caring boy. Who would put her or any of the Digidestined safety over his own, and the fact that he would do all of this for people he's only know for a short time impresses her even more. None of his qualities helped her stay off her growing feeling for him. But with Izzy's revelation that Ash and Tai where some how Counterparts of each other but from nearly Parallel worlds, only added to her confusion. Sora and Tai had always been close, and sometimes she even imagined what it would be like to be his girlfriend. Perhaps the fact there they've known each other for so long and, their relationship was more like brother and sister is way she never allowed her self to think too far along those lines. Then Ash came into her life, displaying so many of the qualities that she always found attractive in Tai, but with out the long history, she couldn't help but to fall in love.
"Sora?" Mimi's Voice stop in her tracks, She didn't want any one to know what she was hiding or how she felt, so she put on her bravest front and cheeriest smile. Unfortunately for Sora Mimi saw something was bothering her. "Sora is any thing wrong? You look kind' a sad"
"Oh it nothing Mimi I guess I'm a little tense about what going to happen today" it was a Half truth so Sora didn't feel totally bad about not telling Mimi every thing that was bothering her.
Mimi looked at her curiously seeming to read her friends mind. Mini Crest symbol was that of sincerity, so it was a little stupid to try and hide her feelings from her friend who could read her as easy as anyone. "Come with me Sora I want to show you something." Before Sora could ask what she wanted to show her. Mimi took her hand and led her to Geni's garden, where all the plants he cared for were. "Shhhh, don't make any noise we don't want to disturb them." Mimi Said as she peered though the Greenhouse window. Sora shrugged and looked and what she saw made her blush.
Sora drew her eyes way and cheeks burned even more "Mimi! That's Ash's Pokemon Bulbasaur, and Palmon!" Sora said shocked. "And they're…." Sora was too embarrassed couldn't continue to finish.
Mimi sighed and looked resigned." Believe me Sora I didn't like that poke-thing nosing around my dear Palmon at first. But you saw how he saved her, and maybe all of us in that last battle. He cares for her and I know Palmon feels for him, and the fact is …" Mimi stopped looking a little sad.
"What Mimi? What is it? "
"The fact is after today Palmon may never see Bulbasaur again. So I decided to let them be together." Mimi looked deep into Sora's eyes "How would you feel if you was going to never see someone you really care about, and you didn't tell that person how you really feel about them."
Sora looked down a little embarrassed. "Is it that obvious? Me and Ash I mean?"
Mimi giggled, "Only to people with eyes."
"Mimi I can't focus on something like that now. None of us may live to see tomorrow, we all have to concentrate on our plan."
"I know Sora just think about it ok?"
"I will Mimi. Thanks" Sora hugs her friend and left the Greenhouse.
Sora was once again alone with her thought, but she really didn't want to thing about Ash right now so she decided to see how Izzy and Geni were coming alone in the lab. After a short walk, Sora hears the electronic buzzing and beeps form Geni's lab equipment. The room was filled with strange scientific machines and devices that Sora couldn't even begin to know what they were used for. Izzy could tell her but anything more advance, then her home computer was over her head. Her eye fell on Izzy he was working on a small device that looked similar to Her digivice, but it was oddly different. "How's it going Izzy?" she asked
Izzy looked up at her and rubbed his eyes" Its going fine Sora I'm just finishing the programming. The Poke/Digivice is almost ready. I just hope it last long enough for it to be effective.
"What do you mean last?"
Setting in place what looking like a microchip Izzy continued. "Well, My ideal of using one of Ash's Pokeballs to make a new Digivice is feasible but the technologies in them are only about 90% compatible. I've had to do some major redesigning do get them to work even on this level. The first one I made burned its self up on activation. But I think I figured out the exact photonic-modulation to get it to function. But it'll still burn out after one use."
Sometimes Sora envied Izzy's knowledge and technical abilities." So what your saying is that this will be our only chance at this and there are no do-overs, huh? Sora stated.
"Don't worry I have Faith in Izzy's ideals." A new voice added. Sora turned to see Ash and his Pikachu walking into the lab. Sora heart raced a bit looking at him. His confidant and determination, was one of his more appealing traits. Ash looks down at the small device Izzy had just finished. "So this is the Digivice you made for me? Hey! It's shaped a little like a pokeball. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen Izzy!"
Ash enthusiasm was very contagious; He has a way of making you see the light side of any situation Sora Thought looking at Ash's bright smile.
"Um, Ash?" Izzy looked a little worried. "You have to understand something, we I'm trying to do has never been done, or even thought of. You was never Chosen as we where. The ones that scanned us and attuned we digidestined to our digivices and Digimon had better equipment then what Geni and me have access to. You are not Digidestined, and forcing you into that role could be very dangerous!"
Geni walked up and added, "Young Izzy is right Ash, you have to understand the risks that are involved, not only to you but the Pokemon you chose to attune the Digivice to."
Fear begins to rise up in Sora, she hadn't thought of the risk to Ash." Are you sure your willing to go though this Ash? You can still change your mind." Sora said.
Ash only smiled and says, "Well, Demonicamon hurt my Bulbasaur, and me, and from what I hear she hurt and threatened all of you. So I'm not going to let her get away with that, she must be stop." Ash turned a warm gaze to Sora and said. "No one gets away with hurting my friends
Sora melted under Ashes caring words, and tingled through out her body.
"Also, like I said, I have faith in Izzy. If He thinks this will work then so do I. Izzy is the smartest kid I know, and I have confidence in his brain." Ash smiled at Izzy. Ash's words went far to help alleviate the guilt he's been feeling since he created Demonicamon.
Geni chuckled and said, "I like your attitude Ash, and the only thing left is to pick the Pokemon, that will undertake the digitization attunement with you.
Ash looked thoughtful for a second, then nodded his head," All of my pokemon are special to me, but there only one that I'd want to take with me no matter what the situation is, but I'll leave it up to him." Ask reached across and lifted Pikachu off his shoulder. "Pikachu you've heard that this could be dangerous, are you willing to fight Demonicamon with me, to save our new friends?"
"Pika!!!" Pikachu agreed defiantly and begin to happily nuzzle Ash's cheek
"Your Heard Pikachu Izzy. We're ready when ever you are." Ash announced.
Izzy nodded and said. "Ok, We I want to run a few more test on all key systems before we put you and Pikachu into the Digital attunement chamber."
I don't think you'll have the time for any more test! "Tai, Matt ,Joe, Mimi T.K, and Kari ran into the lab. Tai slid to a halt looking a little out of breath." Demonicamon is coming this way, and fast!'
"Ugh!" Izzy moaned. "I was hoping Geni's jamming equipment, would hide our Bio Signatures a little longer and by us more time! We need to run more test! We're just not ready!"
Sora felt every ones nervousness, she looked down at TK's worried face." What are we going to do now Sora?" TK. asked.
Sora cast a worried look at Tai. Hoping he would come up with one hof he's famous plans. Tai looked at Ash and they both nodded at each other, knowing what had to be done. "We fight her! And buy Izzy and Geni enough time to Get Ash and Pikachu ready for their battle!"
Mimi seems to stifle a gasp. "Fight her how? The only Digimon lift is my Sweet Palmon, and I wont let her face that thing again. I don't want her to end up as digi-egg!"
Kari sighed triying to hold back a tear "I wish Gatomon was here with me she'd know what to do"
Sora also missed her dear byiomon. She thought sharing Kari's sentiment Ash then stepped forward and kneeled down and placed a Pokeball in her hands. "This is my Muk Kari. I know you miss Gatomon but Muk is a great and strong Pokemon." Ash told her in a very gentle voice. "But he need someone to help him battle, he wouldn't do well in a battle with out a good trainer to direct him. I'm giving you my Muk, he's playful and very emotional like you Kari your'll work great together!"
Kari looked at the pokeball and smiled, "Thanks Ash. I like Muk a lot! We've been playing together, he's fun!" With that Kari relleaced Muck from his Pokeball
"MUK!!!" it said and hugged and drooped over the giggling Kari"
Ash then turned to TK."TK this is my Kinglier, he's strong and resilient just like I know you are." Tk released the Crab pokemon out of his Ball and they smiled at each other. Ash then tossed pokeball to them all. "Matt, my Fiery and cocky Charizard!" Charizard and matt got along very well, being two of a kind. "Tai my fearless and cleaver Squrtle! The leader of the Digidestined, and the leader of the Squrtle Squad, should fight side by side.
Squrtle popped out of his pokeball, pulled out a pair for funky looking sunglasses and said "Squrtle squirt!!" the then folded its arms posing by Tai's leg.
Ash continued "Joe my faithful and powerful Snore lax. It's a little hard getting it started but once it dose nothing can stand before it!" Joe released the giant pokemon from it ball, it yawned lazily and smiled. "Izzy you take care of my Torous, wise and dependable just like you, I know you to will rise to any challenge!" Ash then turned to Sora and cupped her hands in his lovingly. "Sora, I know no one can take the place of Biyomon, but I know my Pegiot will fight for you as strongly as he can. He's very special to me. Besides Pikachu none of my pokemon have been with me longer." Ash squeezed her hands in his seeming to tell her she was very special to him too.
Tai nodded. "Ash and I came up with a plain just in case Izzy and Geni couldn't finish fast enough. Izzy you have no time for test Put Ash in the Digital attunement chamber activate his Digivice and Crest and we hope it works. We will all fight with Ash's pokemon and try to stall Demonicamon as long as possible. To give Ash enough time to undergo the processes.." Tai clenched his fist, this courage seem to infuse them all. "We will not let her get through, this will stop today, one way or then other!" Tai finished all of the Kids cheered and the Pokemon roared.
