The fight!
As we know from the last chapter, we were just about to start the biggest fight of the century, the millennia even! People would pay BIG moochey moochey (money) to see this, and so… they began…
Author's notes: thank you my reviewers, this chapter is for you…J

Le singe est sur la branche…
"Let's get it on!" Tai yelled, as Agumon got ready for his first attack.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound; it was deep and ominous, but fairly quiet, as if it were coming from far away.
"Agumon…?" Tai asked.
"Yeah?" Agumon replied looking at him puzzled.
"…Are you hungry again?" he finished. (Everyone sweatdrops and falls)
"Tai you moron!" Kari yelled, "It's not coming from Agumon!"
"She's right you know," Matt said nodding, "it's coming from right over there," he said, closing one eye and spinning on his heel, he homed in on where the rumbling was gradually getting louder from. Everyone looked in the direction Matt was pointing. A black ominous mass could be seen in the distance. Much to everyone's dismay, it seemed to be getting larger, which could only mean 1 thing.
"It's coming closer," Mimi whispered. The digi destined tensed up and looked skittishly in the direction of the blackness. This wasn't the 1st time today that they'd encountered a black mass moving in their direction. The ground began to shake. Everyone tried to regain their balance, as it got stronger.
"Is it an earthquake?" Misty screeched as she held on to Matt. Matt gave her his "I am displeased with you" look, as Misty clung to him.
"If it is, it's the first earthquake that's ever happened in the digital world," Kitmon replied calmly, as she went bouncing across the ground due to the vibrations. She had one eyebrow raised, and did not look impressed.
"Pika?" Pikachu questioned as he bounced across, on a similar trajectory to Kitmon. (Pikachu thoughts: …huh? …)
"We're going to die Jessie!" James wailed as he clutched her.
"Oh James," she also wailed, "I must say, it was an honour to work with you, you always had a great sense of style," she said with a watery smile.
"Oh Jessie, you were so stylish too!" he yelped as they watched Meowth bounce across the floor. (Everyone sweatdrops)
"We're too pretty to die!" they yelled in unison.
Everyone raised eyebrows and shook heads in wonder at this strange display.
"You know what it sounds like?" Vay said cocking her head in the direction of the blackness.
"Oh tell us do," Tai said sarcastically. Vay hit him upside the head and he fell to the ground.
"Ouch," he groaned.
"Serves you right," Vay said sticking her tongue out at him, "anyways, it sounds like running, you know like a group of something running towards us," she finished as she continued to strain to hear. Everyone listened closely to the rumbling noise, and it became evident that it did sound like running.
"It's kinda like a stampede," Davis said with obvious glee. He then proceeded to run around and yell stuff, of which only "Yee-ha!" and "Get along little doggy!" could clearly be heard.
"Davis could you stop being a dork for 2 seconds?" Kari asked, exasperated. Everyone agreed with her, except Mimi who was clapping her hands and laughing at his antics.
"Oh yay!" she squealed, delighted, "a Rodeo! I LOVE the rodeo! YAY!" (Everyone sweatdrops and falls over.)
Vay stared in the happy girl's direction, "What is she on?" she asked Matt conversationally, "I want some." Matt began his "I am displeased with you look".
"Ah ah ah!" Vay scolded, shaking her finger in his face, "Your only allowed to use that look twice a day Mr. Ishida, and your quota is up!" she laughed.
Matt continued to give her 'the look'.
"Insolence!" she hissed at him.
"There's a fine you know," Tai added from the sides. Matt gives him 'the look', "Don't think I'm not adding it up," he said with a grin, which earned him a slap up the head.
"Darn it!" he said, rubbing his head, "That's it! No more hitting me! It's not fair! Hit Davis! He doesn't care anyway!" he yelled. Davis stopped his cavorting abruptly and stared at Tai incredulously, "What did I do?" he asked.
"Shut up," Tai said.
While all this had been going on the blackness had been getting bigger and closer and louder.
"Guys, I think all attention should be focused on this problem right now," Kari pointed out, as she pointed at the mass, as it began to take form. Everyone stared apprehensively at it, apart from Team Rocket, who had hidden behind a bush, and Misty, who was attempting to climb on to Matt's back. Everyone pulled into a huddle as it got closer and closer… Ash and Kari drew together and clutched each other. Misty foamed at the mouth as she slid down Matt's back and onto the floor. Matt took this opportunity to go and hide behind Vay. Davis was about to protest but all of the rumbling caused him to fall flat on his face. Suddenly Tai gave a start, he also gave a little yelp, and scuttled forward a few steps. Just then Kitmon and Pikachu went bouncing past Vay, so she bent to pick them up, leaving Matt exposed. He gave a small "eep" and bent down behind her.
"Oh Matt don't be silly," Vay whispered at him as she stood up, Matt stood up also, still hiding behind her, "she can still see you, twit, you're a hell of a lot taller than me," she pointed out, with devastating logic.
"Don't you think I know that?" he hissed at her.
"Well then what are you doing?" she asked bewildered.
"She'll have to tear through you before she can get to me, 'cos there ain't no way that I'm leaving the safety that is the area behind you." Matt finished as he clung to her shoulder. Vay looked unimpressed as she smacked him upside the head.
"YOU GUYS!" Tai yelled, as he jumped up an down, "didn't you see me scuttling? Pay attention to the scuttling!" he screamed.
"What, what is it?" Brock asked raising his hands in the air.
"You know what that big mass is coming here?" Tai questioned.
"No, that's the problem," Davis said into the floor, as Gabumon stared at him and tried not to laugh.
"Well, I do!" he yelled, jumping up and down some more.
"Put us out of our misery then!" Misty screeched as she glared daggers at Kari and Ash.
"It's a big group of people!" he yelled, pointing.
"What?" Vay and Matt said in unison.
"You know," Tai said still jumping up and down, "like people, lots of them, together, all moving, a GROUP! HOW MANY WAYS DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY IT?!"
"Alright," Brock said, making calming motions with his hands.
Sure enough, Tai, for once, was right. This large mass of people was collectively running in their direction, and did not show any signs of slowing down. (Everyone sweatdrops)
"Er…guys…" Davis said, as he got to his feet, with the aide of Gabumon, "They don't appear to be slowing down…er… at all!" He whimpered a little and took a few steps back.
Everyone started to shuffle back slowly as the mass of people got ever closer.
"I don't think they're going to stop…" Kitmon said apprehensively from Vay's arms.
"Pika!" Pikachu yelled as he leapt from Vay to Ash. (Pikachu thoughts: what the hell!)
Everyone was still shuffling back until they were behind the bush where Team Rocket was hiding.
"Oh my god!" a voice from the crowd squealed, "They're right over there! They're right there!"
"Huh?" Everyone said in unison. They stopped cowering to look very puzzled.
"It's him, it's Matt, come on girls!" one female yelled from the crowd. A small group of girl's detached themselves from the crowd and lunged at Matt.
"Wha…argh!" Matt looked scared for 2 nanoseconds and was then collectively glomped and knocked to the floor. Vay looked very amused, and started to chuckle until she was surrounded by 10, or so, boys.
"Er… hey guys…" she said as she smiled and waved nervously.
"I can't believe it's really her!" one of the boys crowed. (Vay sweatdrops, and looks very, very nervous.)
"Can we just talk for a sec…" she began but the circle was already starting to close in.
"Help me," she gasped in Tai's direction just before she was glomped also. (Fan-boys eh… ^.^)
Tai attempted to move in her direction but found he had 2 girls attached to his legs. 2 more came from nowhere and grabbed his arms. All four of the girls wore t-shirts that proclaimed 'Tai rules!' Tai looked very confused as he was dragged off in a direction.
Everyone had been surrounded/attacked by crazy fan-people, and all looked scared and confused.
"Wait a MINUTE!" Matt yelled, somewhat muffled, from the floor. All the fanbies stopped proclaiming and chatting and ooing and ahing, abruptly.
Matt wiggled his head out from under some girls, and looked at everyone.
"Now everyone calm down, and BACK OFF!" he yelled as he shook his head vigorously. The fanbies did as they were told and moved away from their prey. Everyone came out looking a tad dishevelled, a little put out, and most of all afraid, apart from Mimi, who just looked happy. Team Rocket also, seemed less than displeased with this attention.
"Now," Matt said calmly, as he smoothed his hair out and straightened his shirt, "who are you people, and what are you doing here?"
Everyone shook their heads in agreement at these questions, apart from Tai who was trying to right his ever more leaning hair.
"We're your fans, silly," one of the Tai-girls said, as she stared at Tai with adoration.
"Yeah," a boy added from Mimi's side, "we've come to watch the fight!" he said as he punched his fist in the air. The rest of the fanbies cheered.
"And how exactly did you know there was a fight?" Ash asked incredulously as a small girl clung to his arm.
"We love you guys," a Misty fan said, "we watch you day and night, 24-7."
"You think we'd miss a fight like this?" a Kari fan asked, "Digimon versus Pokémon, how ultimately cool!"
Everyone stared at the fanbies, then they stared at each other, then they stared at the digimon and the Pokémon, then they stared back at the fanbies. Vay looked at Matt and he shrugged. She turned to the fanbies, "Alright," she said with a shrug of her shoulders. All the fanbies cheered and found places to sit as the digimon trainers and Team Rocket got ready to actually battle.
"Just one question," Davis said to a fanby sitting next to him, she smiled at him and waited for the question, "How did you get here anyway?" he asked, a little bewildered.
"We organized a coach to drop us off," she said with a wide smile.
"Ah hah," Davis said looking a little mystified, "alright then," he added as he turned his attention back to the fight.
"Alright, let's get this thing started," Meowth drawled.
"Arbok, go!" Jessie yelled.
"Weezing, Victreebell, go!" James yelled as he threw his pokéballs.
"Huh, this guy's got 2 Poké thingies," Matt said.
"We'll still cream 'em," Vay said with a grin and a wink, "Oh my god, did I just say 'cream 'em'?" she proclaimed as she shook her head, "Alright Kitmon, get ready."
"Oh yeah," Kitmon said with pleasure as she moved forward and into a fighting stance. Gabumon and Agumon got into fighting stances also, prepared for the fight.
"Three against three," Gabumon said.
"Let's see how much damage you can do in your Rookie forms," Tai said, a barbaric grin plastered across his face.
"Right!" The digimon all said and nodded their heads in unison.
"Here's the rules," Jessie said, "we win and we get all the digi… er… mon, that are here, and Pikachu, ok?" she said as she folded her arms.
"Right," Vay said, " and if we win, you leave and get nothing." She folded her arms too.
"Deal," James said.
"Let's get this thing started," Jessie yelled, "Arbok, attack!"
"Victreebell, Weezing, attack!" James also yelled.
The Pokémon raced forward in an assault, the digimon dodged expertly.
"I'll take the big snake!" Kitmon yelled as she moved towards Arbok.
"I've got the floating balls," Gabumon said, as he squared up to Weezing.
"And the big plant is mine," Agumon said with a smile as he ran towards Victreebell.
"Arbok, poison sting!" Jessie yelled.
"Poison!" Kitmon and Vay yelled as Kitmon faltered in her stride. Arbok unleashed his attack.
"Argh!" Kitmon yelled, as she but her hands in front of her face. Just then she was knocked to the side.
"What?" she opened her eyes to see Gabumon right next to her, "Thanks Gabumon," she said as she helped him up.
"No problem," he said as he went back to Weezing. Vay visibly slumped with relief.
"You think you can poison me," Kitmon hissed as she turned around and evilled Arbok.
"Char-boka!" Arbok said a he swayed from side to side.
"Arbok, leer!" Jessie yelled at her Pokémon. Arbok unleashed his attack, but it failed to faze Kitmon.
"You think that's a glare?" she asked with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, "Oh well, more fool you," she added gleefully as she put her arms forward and crossed her claws, "KIT CLAW!" she yelled as she unleashed her attack and Arbok went flying with the force of it.
"Alright!" Vay yelled, "Strike 1!"
Meanwhile Agumon had been having a stand off with Victreebell. They were just staring each other down. Nothing seemed to be happening at all. (Tai gets a big sweatdrop and a sigh bubble)
"Agumon…" Tai sighed out loud as he sagged at the lack of action.
"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon yelled as he fired his attack at Weezing. For once, Weezing actually managed to dodge the attack.
"Yay, Weezing!" James yelled as he started doing a little victory dance, "Alright lets get serious, he said jumping out of his dance, "Weezing, smog attack, now!"
"Weezing!" the floating balls bounced as it unleashed the thick choking smog.
"I can't see anything!" Matt and Gabumon cried in unison. Everyone was coughing and trying to breathe through the thick smog.
"Tackle attack now!" James yelled.
"What the…" Gabumon began until he was knocked backward about 10 feet.
"Gabumon! What happened? I can't see him!" Matt cried frantically.
"I think we're winning James," Jessie announced triumphantly.
"I think you're right Jessie!" James cried as they hugged.
"Meowth! That's right!" Meowth chortled.
"Right, that's it!" a very annoyed Tai growled, "Agumon, pepper breath, and then run, that goes for everyone else in their whose a digimon!"
"Pepper breath!" came the battle cry from the smog. The whole cloud exploded. The crowed screamed and covered their ears at the deafening level of the blast. The 3 digimon trainers went flying back with the force of the blast. Just then Kitmon and Agumon came barrelling out of the fireball, looking a bit barbequed and dragging Gabumon with them.
"There they are!" a person in the crowd yelled. The crowd leapt to they're feet and sent up a massive cheer, apart from the Team Rocket fans, who sat there and sulked.
"Oh, ow, my butt is killing me," Vay groaned as she dragged herself off the ground and pulled Tai up. Matt was already stood and looking, as usual, remarkably neat, unlike Vay and Tai. Vay was totally black on one side, and Tai's hair was now irreversibly horizontal. Vay stared at Matt for a minute with a completely blank expression on her face; she then narrowed her eyes and whispered, "I hate you," in his direction. Matt merely looked at her and laughed.
"You kicked ass!" a fanby yelled in their direction as the other digimon trainers and Pokémon trainers went over to the 3, to see f they were all right. Gabumon was rubbing his head while Kitmon sat and held one of his paws and patted it. Agumon was dusting himself down.
"The barbequed look isn't for me," he said conversationally.
The crows were all chanting and cheering, and waving and squealing, and other random noises that a crowd can make.
Team Rocket crawled out of the fireball.
"That…hurt…so…much…" Jessie whimpered. They were all groaning and moaning until they saw a little shadow approaching them. They looked up and cringed.
"Pika," the little yellow mouse said.
Everyone looked over to Pikachu.
"Go ahead sunshine," Mimi said, "make they're day."
"Pika-CHU!" he yelled as he hit them with his thunder attack. As usual, Team Rocket went flying off into the distance with a little shining star when they went out of sight.
"That was so awesome!" Ash said with a grin, "Team Rocket was well and truly smashed.
"You were really great Vay," Brock said, leering in her direction. Vay cringed in the opposite direction.
"All we have to worry about now is getting us all back to where we belong," Misty hissed in the direction of Kari, who was standing relatively close to Ash. Everyone side, this was the main ordeal for them now.
"We have to go now guys, the bus is here," one of the fanbies said to the rest of the group. There were moans and sighs and groans, but everyone got there stuff together, and went and got the last autographs and hugs from the objects of their obsession. And with that they were gone.
"That was surreal," Kari said with a shake of her head and a sigh.
20 minutes later, they were all stood around trying to decide what to do about their situation. Everyone was humming and hawing over it until Kitmon's ears began to swivel. Vay noticed and crouched down beside her.
"What is it?" she asked her little digimon.
"Gennai's coming," was the matter of fact reply she gave as she pointed over Vay's shoulder. And sure enough, when she turned around, there was the old man making his way towards them.
"Gennai, dude!" Davis yelled, as he waved at him.
"Hello everybody," Gennai said as he approached the group. The digi destined explained to the Pokémon trainers that Gennai was a good friend and very helpful to them in the digital world.
"I know about your little predicament," Gennai said with a nod of his head, "and I think I can help, if you'd follow me."
So can Gennai really help everybody get back to where they all belong? Find out in the next instalment.
AN: Man this talk AGES to write, it was hard, but it's done, please read and review (hope every1's happy, the digi destined won, just like you wanted…yay!)
