Disclaimer, once again, repeat it with me, come on, you all know it off by heart: I do not own Pokémon or Digimon, it belongs to someone else (much to my personal woe), do not sue J
Author's note: to my one and only reviewer, if he's reading J: AnT, your reviews make me super happy, and Mallory's pairing suggestions were fine and dandy J Just to say thanks and I love u!
"Digiport open!" Davis yelled as he pointed his digivice at the screen.
"Toge!" Togepi chirped as he popped up in front of the screen.
"ARGH!" Davis yelled as he fell over backwards. Matt bent down and picked up the living eggshell that was dancing on the laptop.
"Looks like an overactive digi egg," Tai commented as he looked at Togepi over Matt's shoulder.
"Do I dare ask what a digi egg is?" Ash enquired.
"It's where a digimon first comes from," Mimi explained to him.
"Togepi!" Misty squealed. It had taken her a while to notice the little Pokémon, as all her attention had been on Matt for the past 20 minutes, "Where did you run off to?" she cooed.
"Is this yours?" Matt asked brandishing Togepi.
"Piiiiiii!" Togepi chirped again.
"Ye..ee..ss," Misty stuttered as Matt looked at her, "Thank you," she mumbled, going bright red as she took Togepi out of his hands.
Vay nudged Tai in the side with her elbow, "Think we've got a bit of a crush going on here," She said to him under her breath. Tai grinned a confirmation. Matt whipped around at that statement and stared at Vay.
"Do you have elephant ears or something!?" she yelled, utterly amazed that he could have heard her quiet comment.
"No," Matt answered her simply. She cocked her eyebrow and shook her head sighing.
"As forthcoming as ever I see Mr. Ishida," she said as she poked him in the side. By this time Davis had got himself up and had removed the copious amounts of dust from the seat of his pants.
"Ok, I'm ready to try again," Davis said, "Has everyone got hold of anything that could possibly make an entrance?" he asked, looking pointedly at Togepi.
"Toge Toge…Pi!" he gurgled.
"Pika, kachu," Pikachu said waving at that baby from over Vay's shoulder.
"Alrighty, let's make a start," Davis said with a flourish as he turned to face the laptop screen, "Digiport open!"
A flash could be seen from the screen as this digiport opened. The three Pokémon trainers looked at the screen, amazed.
"Wow," Brock breathed, "Have you ever seen anything so amazing?"
"I know," Ash commented, "we're about to see into another world, it's awe inspiring."
"No not that," Brock turned to Ash, incredulous, who just looked puzzled, "Look at the way the light from the computer lights up their faces," he said with a goofy smile as he looked at Mimi and Vay. (Ash sweatdrops and falls over.)
On the screen another world could be seen appearing.
"Wow," Misty breathed, "it's like earth."
"Ok everybody, are we ready to make the trip into that world?" Kari asked looking at the Pokémon trainers.
"We're going IN!" Misty screeched.
"Yeah," Tai looked confused, "how else do you expect to see a digimon?"
"Come on let's go, time's a-wasting," Davis said, as he made his way into the digital world. Matt followed and, just as moths fly into flames, Misty followed him. Vay gave Mimi a nudge, and she went in. Brock followed her as if she were the messiah. Ash looked a little apprehensive about the whole thing. Kari noticed and went over,
"Don't worry," she said, "it'll be fine," and she took his hand and walked him towards the screen. Ash smiled slightly and blushed at the contact, and went willingly.
"Looks like that's everyone but us," Vay commented to Tai. He nodded.
"Ladies first," he said with a grin and a bow.
"Off you go then," Vay smirked as she shoved him into the digital world.
"Wah..." he gave a strangled squawk as he fell, arms flailing. Vay laughed and hopped in afterwards.
There was a rustle from the bushes just behind where everyone had just been stood.
"Did you see that?" a voice said.
"I know," a second voice answered.
"Can you believe what the twerp's new friends were saying, it's amazing!" the first voice continued.
"If we can get 1 of those digital monsters for the Boss, he'd be so amazed and happy," a third voice chimed in.
"And he'd forget our debts," the second voice said, with obvious glee.
Team Rocket emerged from the bushes into the clearing.
"Meowth, you're a genius!" Jessie exclaimed, "Let's do it, let's get 1 of those digital monsters," she said with a flick of her hair.
"Right," James said, whipping out his signature rose, "The Boss will be so grateful for this new and wonderful creature, he'll give us whatever we want."
"That's right," Meowth said with a nod, "Onward!"
And with that, Team Rocket followed the digi destined and the Pokémon trainers into the digital world.
Inside the digital world, the digidestined were checking out their digivices in hopes of coming across their digimon.
"There's Agumon," Tai said, as he pointed in the direction his digivice was showing him.
"Kitmon's over there too," Vay commented, she looked over Mimi's shoulder, "and Palmon," she finished.
"These are our digimon, by the way," Davis explained to the Pokémon trainers, "Kari's Digimon, and mine, aren't here though, they're back in our world. Neither's Vay's other Digimon."
"Yeah Terriermon's back in our world, that's where he stays," Vay finished, "I can't convince him to go anywhere else," she said with a sigh.
"I'm willing to make a guess that Gabumon will be over there too," Kari said. She still hadn't let go of Ash's hand.
Misty was staring at them, with the vein in her head going double time. Davis was foaming at the mouth.
"If I were you, I'd let go before one of them explodes," Tai whispered into his sister's ear. She nodded, and with a smile at Ash, she let go. This seemed to calm the 2, but only a little.
"Damn Kari, what's she got that I haven't?" Misty muttered under her breath.
Unfortunately… for Brock, he overheard, "I don't know, maybe it's flat hair," he said with a grin. Misty slapped him upside the head and he fell down. (The digidestined sweatdrop.)
"Come on, let's go," Matt said with a shake of his head, and they all moved off.
They arrived at the place where all the digimon were. The digidestined's digimon were just chilling, as digimon tend to do…when there's nothing to eat.
"Hey you guys!" Tai called and waved. The Digimon looked up to see the digidestined, and 3 new kids, making their way towards them.
"Hey look," Palmon said pointing, "our friends are here," she said as she got up.
"Yeah, and they brought friends of their own as well," Kitmon said as she stood up.
The other digimon made their way to their digidestined kids. Kitmon hopped on to Vay's other shoulder, where Pikachu wasn't.
"Mimi! I missed you!" Palmon squealed as she and Mimi had a very tearful reunion.
Agumon and Tai were already goofing around. Gabumon and Matt were, as usual, saying nothing to each other as they shared their companionable silence. Everyone was getting reacquainted with their digimon, smiling and happy.
Kari went over to Matt and grabbed Gabumon by the claw. She turned around to Ash, "This is Gabumon, say hi Gabumon," Kari said as she led the digimon over to the startled Pokémon trainer.
"Hi," Gabumon said, smiling up at him.
"Oh wow, you're so cool," Ash said as he stared at the Digimon.
"Hey, I like this kid," Gabumon addressed the group, "he knows a good digimon when he meets one!"
Matt laughed and nodded.
"Agumon say hello to Misty," Tai said as he led the aforementioned Digimon to the frightened looking girl.
"Hi there, why so scared?" Agumon enquired, puzzled.
"Dino… nosaur…" Misty spluttered.
"Yeah, but I'm really nice," Agumon said with a wide smile, as he offered her his claw to shake.
"O..o..ok then," she said as she shook his "hand" (not really a hand is it to be fair? Hence the inverted commas)
"Brock, this is Palmon, isn't she super cute?" Mimi said with a broad smile as she showed Palmon to Brock.
"Whatever you say," Brock sighed at her.
"I think this guy is a little loved up," Palmon whispered to Mimi, who just smiled on.
The digi destined kept introducing the digimon to the fascinated Pokémon trainers. Pikachu was getting very well acquainted with Kitmon. There was a faint rustling in some bushes just behind them. Kitmon sprang to attention.
"What was that?" she growled. All the digimon stood to attention, listening to the rustling. They ran protectively in front of their digi destined kids and their friends.
"Come on out, or we'll blast you out!" Agumon yelled menacingly.
(The bushes get sweatdrops)
"Err..," squeaked a voice, "I mean… Prepare for trouble!" the voice, female, said more confidently.
"And make it double," a more masculine voice followed, it wasn't fully masculine…but more so than the first.
"Huh," the digi destined said looking very puzzled.
"Oh no," Ash groaned as he slapped his forehead. Misty and Brock were also groaning.
A figure leapt out of the bushes.
"To protect the world from devastation," the woman who had just sprung forth said. The digi destined stared at her as if she'd just stepped off a spaceship.
A second figure leapt from the bushes. The digi destined turned their attention to this strange purple haired man.
"To unite all peoples within our nation," he said, whipping out a rose from god knows where.
"Where on earth did he pull that rose from?" Tai asked puzzled.
"No place I wanna know about," Vay said, sticking out her tongue in disgust. They both started to giggle.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love," The woman said, flicking her long red hair.
"To extend our reach to the stars above," The man said grandly.
By now the digi destined and their digimon were looking vaguely puzzled and fairly amused, except Mimi who was clapping her hands and repeatedly saying "Ooo goody, a skit!"
"Jessie," The woman yelled.
"So I take it that's her name?" Matt said quietly.
"James!" The man called.
"And I think it's safe to assume that he's called James," Davis said with a raised eyebrow.
"Wait, I think there's more," Vay said rolling her eyes. The Pokémon trainers looked embarrassed.
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" Jessie said.
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" James finished.
"Well that was surreal," Kari said with a shake of her head.
"Meowth that's right," Meowth called as he leapt from the bushes.
(The digi destined sweatdrop and look sceptical)
"No, correction," Vay said, "That was surreal," she said. Then the digi destined, and their digimon cracked up. (Team Rocket sweatdrop)
The Pokémon trainers and Team Rocket looked amazed, and confused.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Jessie demanded.
"Ha ha…its…ha ha…its just…ha…the whole…ha ha…the whole…ha ha…scenario!" Matt managed to struggle out, before he doubled up with laughter.
"What do you mean?" James questioned, sounding put out.
"That…ha ha…was…ha ha ha ha…the best…ha…ever…ah ha he ha…skit in…he ha…in…he ha he…the world!" Tai gasped between his laughter.
(Ash, Misty, Brock and Team Rocket sweatdrop) The Pokémon trainers and Team Rocket just stood there till the digi destined and their digimon managed to calm their laughter.
"Oh my GOD! How much do you guys get paid," Mimi squealed with delight, "I want you at my next birthday party!" (Team Rocket sweatdrop)
"We were not hired!" Jessie shouted enraged, the vein in her head throbbing.
"Woah, chill," Tai said making calming gestures with his hands.
"I assume you know these guys," Kari said to Ash, who looked mortified.
"Are they friends of yours or something?" Matt questioned Ash also.
"We know them, but they're most definitely not our friends," Ash said, his head hanging.
"If you go more along the lines of enemies, you're there," Misty said with a shake of her head.
"Oh right," Tai said, "So, what do they want then?" he asked with a puzzled look in the direction of a seething Team Rocket.
"I can't believe they thought we were friends with the twerp!" Jessie exclaimed through her teeth.
"I can't believe they laughed at the Team Rocket motto," James yelled.
"I can't believe we're still just stood around when we should be capturing one of those things!" Meowth bellowed.
"Mehumenahwha?" Vay said, perplexed.
"W are Team Rocket," Jessie said pompously, "and we are here to take one of those digi…thingies..." she faltered at the end.
"And Pikachu too," Meowth said pointing.
Vay looked startled and grabbed hold of Pikachu tightly, "No," she said shaking her head.
(Team rocket trip, then regain uprightness…(who know the correct term))
"Oh yes we are little lady, and you can't stop us," James said with a manic laugh. Vay and Tai looked inexplicably amused. James faltered in his hand motions.
"What?' he asked, incredulous at the pair.
"Little lady…" Tai said with an amused smirk and a raised eyebrow, and then he and Vay started laughing. (Everyone sweatdrops and falls over, except Davis who just grins.)
"Listen up now you twerps," Jessie began.
"TWERPS!" Davis yelled at her, "Who you calling twerps, you're the ones dressed in the funked up costumes!" The digi destined all looked at each other and nodded their agreement at Davis's statement. The Pokémon trainers looked amazed, they had never thought of it that way before.
"Prepare to battle," Jessie said after recovering from being yelled at.
"Battle?" Mimi asked.
"Yes we will fight you for those digi thingies," Jessie said.
"DigiMON, MON," Matt said slowly.
"Whatever," Jessie said with a wave of her hand, though she did flush pink.
"You can't do that, they don't know what they're getting themselves into," Brock said angrily.
"Hey it's no problem," Vay said tapping Brock's shoulder, "It's them who don't know what they're in for." She turned round and grinned at Team Rocket. It was James's turn to flush a very unbecoming shade of pink.
"You ready?" she asked.
"Of course," Meowth said, "You don't stand a chance."
"Well there is 3 of you, so 3 of us will fight you, deal?" Tai asked.
"That's fine by us," James said with a nod of his head.
"Alright then," Matt said with his head bowed, "Us 3," he pointed to himself, Tai and Vay, "Against you 3," he pointed at Team Rocket.
"You don't mind not fighting do you Mimi?" Vay turned around from the stand off, to consult the pretty girl.
"Not at all, go ahead," she said with a sweet smile.
"Alrighty then," Tai said with a little manic smile, "Let's get it on!"
A fight between Team Rocket and the digi destined, should be interesting…I wonder what happens…
