[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Renamon vs. Guilmon! An Ordeal of the Tamers?
Takato was facing off against the girl named Rika, who has her eyes set on Guilmon. She looks over towards Renamon and nods her head to her digimon partner. Renamon returns a nod as well. Takato can easily tell the expressions on their faces that they really meant business.
"Alright, Renamon! This is our chance to upload the data of this digimon! Don't let me down!"
"Hey! Just what is your problem! We never did anything to you," snapped Takato, "My digimon never attacked yours. That's not what I call fair."
"Fair?! What is fair to you then, goggle boy? Don't you even realize that digimon are meant to fight."
"That's not true! Digimon are supposed to be your friends, not just tools. Plus, Guilmon would never want to attack yours, but since you made the first attack. Looks like we have no choice."
"My, you're so naive, little boy. Renamon will obliterate your little dinosaur."
"Who you calling a little boy?! We're new to this sort of thing. We've never done this before!"
"Never done what before?"
"Um, good question."
"Ugh, shut up. Renamon, take him down and load his data!"
"As you wish, Rika!"
[Final Fantasy VII Battle theme plays]
Renamon goes flying up into the air and looks right down at Guilmon with tenacity in her eyes. Guilmon slowly gets to his feet and shakes the cobwebs out, so to speak. Renamon launches herself like a torpedo and goes flying down to attack Guilmon. Guilmon quickly takes notice of her and the irises in his eyes tensed up. Now he was getting angry and was about to attack.
"Just who is this guy? I've never seen a digimon like him, before. I just hope Rika gets a good reading through her analyzer."
Just then, Rika was not getting any kind of a response from her digivice as he displayed a holographic image of Guilmon but the only information read was No Data. Rika growled to herself in frustration.
"Nothing! Stupid piece of junk must not be working! How can I not get any information on this digimon? Is like he or something?!"
Takato gasps when he turns to see Renamon swooping down to attack Guilmon. He calls out to his digimon partner to catch his attention.
"Guilmon! Get out of there! She's going to attack! Move out of the way!"
It was to no avail. Guilmon still stood there like a statue. Renamon crosses her arms and then unleashes a barrage of diamond-like spikes at the crimson-colored dinosaur.
"Diamond Storm!!"
But as soon as the attack hit Guilmon head on, they had no effect on him. It looks as though that his skin was tough enough to withstand such a devastating long-range attack such as the Diamond Storm. As soon as the smoke cleared away, Guilmon looks right up at Renamon and then powers up. A large, red fireball comes hooting out from his mouth and hurtling towards Renamon like a missile.
"Pyro Sphere!!"
Renamon manages to maneuver away just in time and then goes flying onto the ground. Renamon goes charging at Guilmon to attack him with rapid fists. Guilmon managed to maneuver and block each of the punches with rapid speed of his own.
"Wow, I've never expected a rookie digimon to withstand this much head on attacks as this one is with Renamon. Usually, rookies and certain champion-levels die after getting hit by the Diamond Storm. But somehow, this one is still taking a beat and not going down. I'm going to have to step in and give Renamon a hand sooner or later, whether I like it or not."
Renamon throws a punch, but Guilmon counters it. The fire-breathing lizard picks Renamon up and then tosses her into the air. Guilmon flips over and then shoots out more fireballs from his mouth.
"Pyro Sphere!!"
Renamon managed to shake the cobwebs out and watched as several Pyro Spheres were coming her way. Renamon crosses her arms and phases out of the way. This catches Guilmon off guard as Renamon quickly reappears behind Guilmon. He turns around, but only to get a kick to the side of his head. Guilmon goes tumbling down onto the ground. Renamon quickly gets into a fighting pose while Guilmon slowly tries to get to his feet.
"C'mon, Guilmon! Can you get up?!"
"He's done for! Man, you're such a rookie. Now, I'm going to have Renamon finish off your dream digimon. Ready, goggle head?"
With that said, Rika reaches down into her satchel and pulls out a modify card. Takato quickly takes notice of this and then begins to wonder to himself of what she could be up to next.
"Just, what is she up to? And what is he doing with that card?!"
Rika pulls out her card and then holds out her digivice. She then slashes the card right through its slot as it powered up a bright aura.
"Card Slash!!"
"What? Card Slash?"
Takato takes a look at his digivice and noticed that it was of the same model that Rika was using. He could clearly see a slot where the card could be slashed through. He then realizes that he has no cards to back him up.
"Darn! I should have realized what this digivice is for! Guilmon! She's got cards that help Renamon in the fight! Its time to pull back!"
But Guilmon didn't listen to a single word that his Tamer was shouting and continued his relentless assault on Renamon. A smile forms across the face of Renamon as her left fist transforms into what looks like a cannon gun. Guilmon growls as he circles Renamon.
"Renamon! Get him!"
Renamon then unleashes a powerful blast from her cannon arm and lets loose a barrage of shots at Guilmon, but the red dinosaur was able to maneuver away from each blast being fired away at him.
Takato could only look on with a shocked look on his face. He held onto his digivice tightly and was now hoping for Guilmon to pull through this fight and get away as soon as possible, since he never expected Renamon to attack all of a sudden and too soon.
"Hey, girl! You better call her off! We weren't prepared!"
"Whatever, gogglehead. And my name isn't girl. I happen to have a name. And like I said before and I'll say it again, digimon are meant to fight! What else do you think they are used for anyway?!"
"Um, that's like asking the meaning of life."
"Renamon, proceed by killing him and loading his data."
"Yes, Rika. I shall not let you down. I promise."
Renamon goes shooting more shots over at Guilmon, but he manages to run around in order to avoid being blasted away. Guilmon goes jumping Renamon from behind and then tackles her down onto the ground. Guilmon latches his mouth onto the side of her cannon arm and relentlessly gnaws away without letting go. Renamon tried to push her adversary off with all of her might, but to no avail.
"No! Get up, Renamon! Get up!"
"C'mon, Guilmon! Stop! If you can hear me, stop please! We came here to find you a new home! Please, I hope you can hear me, cause I know you can! Guilmon!"
Guilmon continued to gnaw away at Renamon's cannon arm and would not let go at any given opportunity. This was his chance to beat Renamon and prove himself as a great adversary to her, which would indeed upset Rika. But then, Guilmon comes to his senses and then looks right over towards Takato. His eyes return to their normal state and he quickly releases his grip on Renamon.
"Oh, did you say something, Takatomon?! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Lets go play!"
Guilmon runs over towards Takato and as soon as possible. Renamon quickly flips up onto her feet and faces towards Guilmon. She then points her cannon arm right over at Guilmon, in which she would blast him away and load his data.
"Get him, Renamon! Don't let him off of your sight!"
Renamon charges up her arm cannon and a flash of energy was blinking from within. This quickly catches the attention of both Guilmon and Takato. They watched as Renamon looked to blast them right out of existence with this one single shot. They both cried out as the blast comes right for them at rapid speed.
[FFVII Battle theme ends]
"Takato!!"
"It was nice knowing ya, buddy!"
But just then, a blast comes out of nowhere and knocks the cannon blast away and shooting up into the skies instead. A huge explosion occurs as Rika and Takato look up in awe.
"Stop this!"
They all turned around to see who was calling out to them to stop their fight. To their surprise, it was none other than the boy named Henry. He looked down at them with a serious look on his face, especially giving a glare right over to Rika. Terriermon comes out of hiding and exposes himself.
"Thank goodness! You saved our lives there," said Takato, "How do I owe it to ya?"
"Save that for later. There's just something that troubles me over this whole situation. And that concerns this girl over here. Hey, I've seen you and your digimon going out and killing digimon relentlessly and loading their data. What is your deal?"
"What is my deal? Um, don't you realize why digimon are here? The reason I have Renamon is to fight. Digimon only exist for competition and killing digimon is my own little game. I want Renamon to get as strong and to be the best."
"You know there's more to digimon than just competition and surviving," Henry replied, "You really have a different point of view concerning digimon."
"That's what I was trying to tell her but she sent Renamon to attack Guilmon for no apparent reason," Takato said.
"For no reason?! Wake up and smell the coffee, Renamon only wants Guilmon's data, nothing else matters. Its not like digimon are real anyway."
"How do you know that? As long as digimon are here, they as real as they can be," said Takato, "Just look at Guilmon and… Terriermon?"
"That's me! Hey! More digimon! I knew I wasn't the only one in town."
Terriermon runs over towards Guilmon and dances around him like the silly ol' floppy-eared bunny that he is.
"Ugh, so what does that floppy-eared weenie have to do with any of this? I can see that he's not good competition for Renamon," remarked Rika.
"Hey! Hey! Who you calling a weenie?! Just because I'm a small little buy, doesn't make me a weak little bunny for you to kick around like some sort of soccer ball! I pack quite a punch and I was the one who intercepted her blast. You two can thank me later. Please no autographs," Terriermon said to Takato and Guilmon.
"Well, what do you think digimon are for, smart guy," asked Rika.
"Plenty of reasons. They're not our tools or our pets either! They can be friends and they should have the freedom to do whatever they wish, just like we do," Henry replied.
"Oh, well that's all good and well. But Renamon chooses to fight and I stand by her decision. So, if we're through with this chat, we should be going now. Renamon lets go. See you later, losers."
Renamon quickly phases out and follows Rika off through the trees from above. Takato looks out and begins to wonder how Renamon could quickly disappear just like she did just a moment ago.
"Hey, you guys alright?" asked Henry.
"Oh we're fine. We just didn't expect an attack like she just pulled off," said Takato, "I guess we should be prepared next time."
"Yeah, she's one tough customer. I've bumped into her a couple of times."
"Just who is that girl?"
"Her name is Rika Nonaka. Didn't you know that she was the champion of the recent Digimon Card Game Tournament, she won first place. She really believes in her mind that she is the best."
"Yeah, no kidding. She just displayed that when she had Renamon almost wipe out Guilmon from existence. I was just so afraid of losing him."
"Well, you don't have to worry now. By the way, Terriermon and I found a good hiding spot for Guilmon. You might like it. We'll lead the way."
"Thanks, I really appreciate. There was no way I am going to keep Guilmon in my house without my parents knowing."
"Right and its best to do it this way. Come on."
Henry and Terriermon led Guilmon and Takato right over towards a trail down the shaded forest. As soon as they walked up the trail a few moments, Henry pointed over towards a small bunker on top of a small hill. Takato's eyes widened with satisfaction. Guilmon runs up towards the steps and runs inside the bunker.
"This is perfect, Henry! I never thought that this would have been the perfect place to hide Guilmon! How do I owe it to you?"
"You don't. I'm just being generous and besides, Guilmon would cause a public scene if he were to expose himself."
"Yeah, no kidding," said Takato, "Just one question that I've been meaning to ask you."
"Ask away."
"Well, it's about these devices."
"Digivices?"
"Yeah, well. How did you get yours?"
"It's a long story, but how did you get yours?"
"Well, it just happened yesterday. I found a blue card of some sort and decided to slide it into my card reader and then some sort of beam of light comes and glows over my card reader. After that, I watched as it transformed into the digivice you see in my hand. But I wonder why we got these, because don't you think its a coincidence?"
"How? A coincidence?"
"Well, there were some kids seven years ago with these same kind of devices and they used them to help their digimon grow and evolve. Remember the Virus battle?"
"Yes. I remember that, but what does this have anything to do with us?"
"Well, call me crazy. But I just found out that my new substitute teacher happens to be one of those children from that battle. I even saw her own digivice and I saw her digimon. That's right, Henry. She's a Digi-Destined. A Chosen Child…"
"Wait a second, you mean that your teacher is a former Digi-Destined?! One of THE Digi-Destined that saved the planet from Virus?"
Takato nods and then looks over his digivice and closely examines it. It was a much different model from the one Kari uses to help Gatomon evolve and aid her into battle.
"Hmmm, I don't know. I'm going to have to see it in order to believe. But for now, lets just keep an eye on our digimon. And make sure not to run into that Rika girl again. She's trouble."
"Agreed."
The two boys turned around and saw their digimon playing with each other. Terriermon was top of Guilmon's head and bouncing off onto Guilmon's tail while springing up as if he were a slinky. The two digimon chuckled as they were having fun playing with each other. Their Tamers looked on with smiles on their faces.
"By the way, do you know anything about the upcoming Battle City tournament?" Takato asked.
"Yeah. It should be a blast," Henry replied, "I don't have any Duel Monsters cards, but I hear they have a good set."
"If only it wasn't too late to sign up. Oh well. We've got other stuff to take care of."
"Agreed. I heard that some Yugi Muto kid beat the actual Duel Monsters Creator himself."
"He defeated the Duel Monsters creator? Maximillion Pegasus?! The Pegasus?!"
"Yeah and no one has ever heard from Pegasus since then. It's creepy if you ask me."
"Tell me about it. I'd like to see Rika compete with those duelists."
*************************************************************************************
[Hypnos theme plays]
Meanwhile, the Hypnos crew was having a difficult time trying to locate all of the wild ones that have bio-emerged. They missed a few, but a few, in their mind, would still lead to disastrous effects on the real world. However, they had no idea that these bio-emergences have been from only a few digimon. Thus far, none of these digimon has been creating a public scene of some sorts.
"Sir, there hasn't been any recent locations of any Wild Ones since yesterday," said Riley.
"No wild ones? This is rather strange. Usually we would have at least one wild one trying to bio-emerge its way into our world each day. But we should really keep a close look out for anymore on the horizon. I have a feeling there will be a wild one that will attempt to emerge by the end of the day," Yamaki said.
"We're right on it," replied Talley.
Yamaki looks on while flickering his lighter and watching the screen with patience, but lately with all of these bio-emergences, Yamaki's patience was quickly wearing thin. He wants nothing more than to rid of all of the digital beings he calls "scum" and "trash".
"It won't be long. I will rid of these digital invaders. I shall teach them never to set foot in our world. They were never meant to be here nor are they welcome to otherwise. You can bio-emerge all you want, but in the end, I will have the last laugh. One who laughs last, laughs loudest!"
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kari was walking through the streets while carrying her school briefcase along with her. Another hard day in school and teaching has already taken a toll on her. But she loves her job and loves to participate in activities with children. But now, she would go home and relax in a nice, warm bath.
"Gatomon, the coast is clear. I think you can come out now."
With that said, the digital kitty comes jumping out from Kari's bag and landing on her two feet. Kari walks along the street with Gatomon following her side. She was quite relieved that her digimon partner hasn't caused a scene. To them, Gatomon was merely just an everyday kitty to them.
"I'm just glad these people haven't panicked when they saw you. They just think you're an ordinary house cat."
"Yeah but I'm a kitty with an attitude. So, what's for chow tonight?"
"Dinner? I haven't really thought of that. I really need to call TK and ask him."
"Ok, cause I'm really starving over here. Oh, man. I hear a fish market calling out my name…"
"Well, you're just going to have to wait till tonight. Maybe fish sounds good for tonight."
"Hey! You just read my mind. Fish was the first dish that came to my mind. Pretty obvious, since I'm a cat."
"Heh, you're a weirdo, Gatomon. Sometimes you even confuse me at times."
"Thanks, I try."
As Kari passed by, another girl looked on with awe. She seemed to be around Kari's current age. Her hair was blonde as canary, she has a noticeable red bow over her head and her eyes were blue as heaven itself. Just then, a small, white cat came rushing towards her. He had quite a noticeable moon crescent over his forehead.
"Mina! Wait up! How long are we going to be shopping for?"
"Oh quit bragging, Artemis," Mina replied.
"You know here I thought you wouldn't have changed since Galaxia was defeated."
"I needed a day to relax, anyway. Hmm, I wonder where Rei is? She said to meet her here at this stop. We were going to meet up to study for our exams."
"Who knows? Shouldn't we get something to eat, first?"
"Well, now that you ask, I say we better get some grub."
"Finally!"
Just then, Gatomon stopped walking and then stood still for a moment. She began to hiss and turn over towards another direction. Kari could easily tell that Gatomon was sensing something coming along the way. Kari pulls out her D-3 and finds a flickering light, which was indicating the location of a Digi-Destined or even a Tamer.
"I'm picking up a reading from a location of another Chosen child. It could be another one of the Digi-Destined or even… Takato…"
"But what if you're wrong? I sense that this digimon has a really high ki level, even at rookie-level."
"It could be Guilmon! We better check this out."
"Right!"
Gatomon sprints off and followed her instincts, which would lead her towards the location of this child. She could easily tell that this ki level came from Guilmon, since he has the highest level in rookie form. Gatomon has a good belief that he may very well be stronger than both Agumon and Veemon.
Just as soon as she stops at a nearby corner, she turns to see none other than Guilmon pointing his nose over towards her. Gatomon jumps back with her claws scathed. Guilmon backs away with a cool and calm look on his face.
"Don't worry, Gatomon. Its just me and Takatomon."
"Whew. Thank god its only you two. I just picked up a ki level and I had to figure that it was you, Guilmon."
"Who else could it be?"
"Maybe, Renamon," said Takato, "Or even Terriermon…"
"Whoa! What? Who? When? There's more digimon," Gatomon asked frantically.
Kari stops right where Gatomon was standing and then walks over to see none other than Takato and Guilmon along with her. Kari wipes her forehead and catches her breath.
"Whew, its only you two. We thought that another Tamer was around," Kari said, "But we just realized that it was just you two."
"Well, actually. We did see two other Tamers like myself and they have the same digivice as I do," Takato said.
"Huh?! Ok, now this is getting pretty confusing! How can there be other kids with the same digivice model as yours? Am I missing something here?! Ok, I better calm down. I just got out of work and now all of this..."
"No. No. It's ok. We'll explain everything," Takato said, "Now where should we begin..."
"You can start off by telling us who these two Tamers are and what kind of digimon they have as partners," Gatomon remarked.
"Oh yeah. Right. Ok. Here goes nothing…"
***************************************************************************************
[Ruki's theme "Moon Fighter" plays w/o lyrics]
Rika was sitting alongside a tree just a few blocks away from the park. She was obviously focusing her attention on the boy named Takato and his digimon partner, Guilmon. She sighs and tosses a rock down onto the ground.
"Who said that digimon were friends?! Ugh, what a joke. Digimon are only supposed to be used as tools in fighting and loading the data of other digimon. Renamon only seeks to fight and I expect her to be the best, no matter how great the situation is. That goggle head and his dinosaur haven't seen the last of us. Mark my words! I will see to it that Renamon loads that stupid dinosaur's data. Then Renamon shall be the strongest digimon warrior ever."
"Renamon!"
With that said, the neon yellow-coated fox appears from out of the shadows with her arms crossed. She tilts her head up and looks right over towards Rika with cold and calculated blue eyes.
"Yes, Rika?"
"We're heading out to a really good hiding spot. There, we better sure to lure that goggle head and his dinosaur buddy in. I won't rest until I have you load his data, got it?"
"Yes, Rika. It's a very good plan. Shall we get started right away?"
"Yeah. The sooner, the better."
"Lets get ready then."
Renamon quickly phases out and then heads over towards what looked like a good hiding spot, which in fact was more than enough room for a digimon battle. The fight destination would now take place within a nearby parking garage. Rika goes and follows Renamon's location through her digivice. She stops at the parking garage and runs inside. She stops and turns to see Renamon standing alongside with her. Rika looks up at Renamon with a cold smile on her face.
"Lets get to work."
***************************************************************************************
Takato had now just finished explaining everything that has occurred thus far between himself, Henry and Rika. Kari begins shaking her head, as if she had already gotten to what he was saying. Gatomon was just as surprised to hear the news of two other digimon within West Shinjuku. She couldn't wait to meet them, unless Renamon was friendly enough to greet her after hearing about Rika.
"Man, this Rika girl reminds me a little bit when Ken was the Digimon Kaiser," said Gatomon, "But I'm sure she isn't all that bad."
"Right, maybe we can explain to her that digimon aren't tools to be used in battle. That boy, Henry, was right. But, by what you've told me, this Rika doesn't sound like a very good person, but I'm sure she still appreciates her digimon."
"Whoa, are you sure about that," asked Takato.
"Takato. I've talked to a lot of Digi-Destined kids, including my own friends. I'm sure she'll understand to what I'm talking about."
Just then, Takato's digivice was starting to go off and a light was flickering on his radar. Kari's D-3 was also going on the fritz as it was picking up an activity level from what seemed to be the location of a Tamer. Kari looks out and Gatomon picks up an energy signal from another direction. Guilmon growled and then turned the same direction as Gatomon.
"Its over in the left direction," said Takato, "I wonder where it's leading to."
"We won't know until we find out," said Kari, "I'm willing to bet that its just near the parking garage, since I just passed by there a minute ago."
"Then, that's where we are heading," exclaimed Takato.
The digimon sprinted off first as they headed off towards the destined location by picking up the energy signal from this certain digimon. Kari and Takato followed along with their respective digimon partners to go check out to what they could have found.
The crew rushed through the streets, which caused Takato to accidentally bump into a young man and a blue-haired girl with pigtails.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you!" the goggle head exclaimed.
"Gee. I wonder why they're in such a hurry?" the young man pondered.
"Let's go, Tenchi! The grocery store has a half-price off sale going on. It only lasts for another hour!"
"Right. Let's get going Sasami."
"I'm planning a big feast. I'm glad we decided to vacation out here for a couple of weeks."
"I've been hearing these reports of monsters crossing over to this city. I wonder what that is all about?"
"Who knows? Let's get going, or we'll have to pay for the food for their full price."
"Right!"
Tenchi and Sasami went about their walk towards the grocery store. They and just arrived in town for a vacation, and they had no idea of the digimon invading the city lately.
Meanwhile, Guilmon and Gatomon both ran inside the parking garage. They surveyed the area and were now picking up a very close ki level. Guilmon turns to one direction while Gatomon turns the other way. Kari and Takato come running in. They looked over to see their digimon partners still surveying the area.
"Anything yet," asked Takato.
"Not yet. But something is obviously in here," said Guilmon.
Just then, a shadow looms within the darkness and the two digimon were unable to detect it. Takato looks out and sees Renamon standing right behind both Guilmon and Gatomon.
"Guilmon! Look out!'
Renamon pulls back her fist and punches Guilmon right in the face, just as he turned around to face her. Guilmon goes flying and crashing back into a nearby column. Gatomon gasped and looked over towards Renamon.
"Guilmon! Why you! Take this! Lightning Claw!"
Renamon easily maneuvers to the side and quickly catches Gatomon off guard with a swift kick to her stomach. Gatomon falls down onto the ground while clutching her throbbing gut.
"Oh no, Gatomon," exclaimed Kari, "Just who is that?!"
"Want to know the truth," a voice said calmly from within the darkness.
Suddenly, a young girl comes walking out to reveal herself. The broken heart symbol on her t-shirt was a good indication to who it really was. Takato and Kari both turned to see her. It was Rika and she was smiling coolly like never before.
"So, you managed to bring a friend along, goggle head," Rika asked sarcastically, "What's the matter, did you need to be pampered along the way?"
"No! Please listen! You have to stop these acts of violence! Digimon are not fighting tools and Renamon should be your friend," said Takato.
"Why should I listen to you? I seek only to be the best and Renamon seeks only the best Tamer? So why should we go all soft hearted and let feelings get in the way of our business? Guess what? You're living a fantasy world, goggle brain."
"Enough! If there's something that I can't stand is the fact that a Tamer like you is killing digimon for no apparent reason. Now if they were evil and trying to destroy innocent lives is another thing, but killing digimon who accidentally came into this world is no excuse," exclaimed Kari, "And I don't know who you are, but this has got to stop. You and your partner should be friends. Friendship makes you stronger. What you're doing is not the way it's supposed to be done."
"Oh, and who are you to give me lectures in the first place? Oh please, you're just as naive as that boy there. Now if you excuse me, I got unfinished business to deal with. Renamon. Load their data and show no mercy."
Kari and Takato could only look on with shock as Renamon walked over towards the two fallen digimon as she looked to kill them and load their data, but then a door opened up from out of nowhere catching Renamon and Rika off guard. Takato turned and sighed a relief when he saw none other than Henry and Terriermon walking inside.
"Yeah! Henry! Thank goodness," exclaimed Takato, "Things were getting way out of hand here."
"I can see that. Rika. Rika. Rika. You still haven't learned your lesson, haven't you? The young woman you see in front of you happens to be one of the Digi-Destined children that defeated Virus seven years ago," Henry said.
"What?! She's one of them?!"
"Yeah and guess what? It was obvious that she was the one who defeated Virus. I could be wrong, but that's my belief."
"No, they said Celesta X defeated Virus. Not this ungrateful woman over here," remarked Rika, "Give me a break. She wouldn't know how to tame a digimon through a wet paper bag."
This was more than enough to piss Kari off. She despises being regarded as a weakling. Kari holds onto her D-3 and looks to see Gatomon slowly getting to her feet. Renamon is unable to detect Gatomon's movements as the digital kitty goes jumping right at her and executing a vicious punch to her face. Renamon goes tumbling down.
"Ugh! Renamon!"
"Shall I go now, Henry? I think I'm up for a little butt whooping myself."
"Alright, just don't…"
"I know. I know…"
[Breaking Point's "One of a Kind" plays]
Renamon quickly flips up and kicks Gatomon to the side. Guilmon gets to his feet and powers up while a large red fireball comes shooting from his mouth.
"Pyro Sphere!!"
Renamon watches the fireball coming right for her and she quickly phases to the side. Gatomon comes out of nowhere and goes for another Lightning Claw and it was able to connect this time. Renamon goes tumbling back and Guilmon goes charging right for her once again. Guilmon delivers several head butts into her gut.
"Renamon! I said that you wouldn't let me down! Now fight back! We're loading their data, no matter what!!"
After hearing those motivational words, Renamon quickly regains her strength and delivers a barrage of rapid punches at Guilmon. She then turns and spin kicks Gatomon to the side. Renamon goes over and picks up Gatomon, while spinning her above her head. She then tosses Gatomon onto Guilmon. Renamon hops into the air and then crosses her arms.
"Gatomon!! No!!"
"Guilmon!! C'mon boy!!"
"Say goodbye to your pathetic digimon. Renamon its time…"
"Yes, Rika. It is time… Diamond…"
Just then, Terriermon comes walking alongside the path in between the line of fire. Renamon gasps when she sees Terriermon and is unable to stop her upcoming attack.
"Get out of the way!!"
Terriermon looked up and gasped as the barrage of diamonds were coming straight for him. Henry gasps at what he sees and goes running over in order to push Terriermon to the side. But just as soon as he was about to reach to Terriermon, Henry's digivice started to emit a bright light and the others take notice of this. Henry holds out his digivice and watches as Terriermon was now set to evolve into his champion-level form.
["One of a Kind" ends]
[Digimon Tamers First evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION!!
Henry's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Terriermon's body. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form.
"Terriermon shinka!!"
Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms and a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Gargomon!!"
As soon as the smoke cleared away, Gargomon now was standing in the place of Terriermon. Henry could only look in awe and shock at his newly evolved digimon, but yet he looked a bit disdained.
"But… He promise me that he wouldn't do it…"
"Whoa! That's Terriermon?" Takato asked, "That must be his champion-leveled form!"
"No doubt! I think he should be more than enough to handle Renamon," said Kari.
[Gargomon. Champion Level. Special Attacks: Gargo Laser and Bunny Pummel]
Gargomon turned to face Rika with a smile on his face. Rika gasps and then backs into a corner as the gun bunny was slowly confronting her. She wanted to scream once he held out his chain gun arms towards her, as if he were ready to blast her away. Renamon takes notice of this and goes charging right at Gargomon.
"I've got to stop that gun bunny before he hurts Rika!"
Renamon jumps onto the back of Gargomon and applies a takedown on him. Gargomon goes gun crazy and fires away at his surroundings. Guilmon and Gatomon slowly regain their senses and notice Gargomon losing control of his firing.
"He obviously can't be controlled," Kari said.
"That's why I didn't want him to digivolve! I just knew he would end like this. We have to stop him before he blows this place apart!"
"Right! Guilmon! Stop him!"
"You too, Gatomon!"
Gargomon jumps around and causes Renamon to go falling off of his back. Renamon lands on her feet, but gets met with a chain gun smashed into the side of her face. Renamon goes down hard with a huge, red welt on her face. Gargomon was about to make his next move, but then Guilmon and Gatomon came out of nowhere and took down Gargomon, pushing him right through a nearby wall.
Calumon looks on, without being noticed, and he now has a sad look on his face. The red diamond-like shape on his forehead was emitting a small, red glow but then it fades away. The little digimon sighs and walks away.
As soon as the smoke cleared, Gargomon was laid on the ground with both Guilmon and Gatomon lying right on top of him. It now looks as though Gargomon has regained his senses and calm at the very moment. Kari, Henry and Takato all ran over to help their digimon out before the authorities would arrive to investigate the area.
Renamon quickly phases out, while Rika stands at the corner with her eyes widened in fear. She breathes heavily while clutching her chest. She clearly was scared to death.
"Do they always act like that when they evolve?"
The commotion startled a young man with a pair of goggles in his pocket. He dropped to the floor with a blue dragon-like creature.
"Whoa! What the heck was that?!" Veemon asked.
"I don't know, but with all these reports of monsters. It's making me suspicious!"
"You want to go check it out, Davis?"
"Let's go, Veemon!"
"Not so fast, Davis!" a woman's voice called out.
This was more than young to cause Davis to freeze and stop at his tracks. He turned around and faced a rather beautiful, girl with jet black-hair. Her looks were quite seductive, but Davis didn't seem to be happy to see her. This girl was one of the artificials, who were unleashed by Datamon. She turned on her former master and went about on her own. She was a pawn used to help Virus evolve into his final evolution. After she was released from within Virus, Davis started communicating with her and eventually married her. Even though she has love for Davis, she doesn't seem to show it.
"C'mon, Sonja! I've got to go inside and check it out."
"I can feel Gatomon's ki in there. We'll leave it to Kari and Gatomon. It seems that they're helping out that Takato boy. Let's go."
"But…"
"Now!"
Davis and Veemon shrieked as they followed along with the bossy former artificial.
"Next time, I'm getting to the bottom of the crap that has been going on," Davis thought.
***************************************************************************************
The Tamers and their digimon had just retreated out of the scene of the crime, after what had just occurred between the whole fiasco involving Gargomon and Renamon.
Guilmon and Gatomon watched as Gargomon was sitting on top of his head as if he were trying to balance himself despite having such a large and big-boned body. The two digimon simply laughed at him for trying so hard to hold his balance.
"Very funny! Lets see you two try it," Gargomon snapped, "Its not very easy. Well, how about it?"
"Sorry, but I don't want to ruffle my head and have the blood rush into my brain," said Gatomon.
"Maybe I can give it a try," replied Guilmon, "Like this?"
Guilmon gets into the same position as Gargomon and heads right on top of his head and using his tail to help balance himself, unlike the much larger, tailless Gargomon. This further infuriated Galgomon as he was soon losing his balance once again.
"Hey! No fair! You're using your tail! Next time, don't rely on your tail so much," exclaimed Gargomon.
"Hehehe. I can't help it if I got a big tail. Besides, your cheating with those guns your using."
"So? They're apart of me when I'm Gargomon. I can't help it."
The two Tamer children chuckle while watching their digimon bickering with one another. Kari smiles and sat on the ground while giggling at their conversation.
"You know. I must say, your digimon are pretty impressive. It's hard to believe that they are very strong even in their rookie-leveled forms. Back in the old days, our digimon were not as strong as yours are."
"With the help of our slash modify cards, we use them to boost up the energy for our digimon and that makes them stronger in their battles."
"I see. That's what Takato told me when he and Guilmon had their first encounter with Renamon. But how come I never knew about these digimon cards? I find it hard to believe that digimon could become such a popular commodity after what happened seven years ago," Kari said, "But then again, anything can happen."
"By the way, is there a card with me on it," asked Gatomon.
"Yeah. I got one of you," Henry said as he pulls out a Gatomon card.
Gatomon takes it and looks upon herself on the card's front cover. She closely examines its stats and rubs her chin, then pats her head as if she were looking herself in the mirror.
"I sure do look styling," the digital cat remarked, "But I look so much better in cat person."
"Can you at least be not show any vanity for once in your life," asked Kari.
"Nope, a kitty must be picky on her looks and appearances. That's just the way we are," Gatomon replied.
"Oh, no wonder why," Kari said giggling.
Henry looks over towards Gargomon and then a look of disdain comes across his face. Takato and Kari take notice of his sudden sadness and question him.
"Henry. What's the matter? You look down. So why did you not want Terriermon to digivolve," asked Takato.
"Because… as you can see. He was already losing control when he started to attack. This is not the first time that happened."
"When was the last time that he lost control," Kari asked, "Maybe if you tell us, especially myself, since I've been exposed to digimon for nearly my whole life."
"Ok, well. It started a couple of weeks ago. I just received a Christmas gift. It was one of the latest digimon video games…"
Flashback
Henry and his family members were gathering around while receiving their gifts from their father. Henry received the latest digimon game that he has always been wanting and now he has it.
"Alright! It's the new digimon game! Thanks, dad!"
Even after opening his gift and showing his satisfaction at receiving the game, he went ahead and tried it out on his computer. Once he slid the CD game into his D-drive, he went over several of its instructions on how to upload it. Once he was finished with that, he proceeded to begin his very first game.
On the screen, there was an option box on several digimon to choose from. Henry looks across to see familiar digimon such as Gorillamon, Monochromon, Seadramon and Terriermon, himself! Henry then clicks right over towards Terriermon.
"I'll start off with somebody small. Its more challenging that way and plus, this little guy has quite a power reading. I want to make him as strong as possible."
As soon as he selected Terriermon, he watched as Terriermon did his 'little victory dance', which made the boy easily amused. As soon as he read the last of the game's instructions, he began his first actual digimon adventure.
While playing as Terriermon, Henry noticed a rather, large hairy digimon with a huge cannon on his left arm. He quickly realized that this was none other than Gorillamon.
"Heads up, Terriermon! Gorillamon is one tough customer. He's a champion-level, so I think we need to give you a little power boost."
Terriermon looked across to see Gorillamon staring him down with a vicious look on his face. Terriermon motions over towards Gorillamon, bends over and smacks his behind, much to the dismay of the large beast.
"Um, a rather amusing taunt. Now, lets get down to business! Card Slash!"
With that said, Terriermon felt his energy increasing as he starts firing away at Gorillamon with several pullet-like blasts known as 'Bunny Blast'. But these only made Gorillamon flinch and even barely affected him. Terriermon looks on with disbelief as Gorillamon laughed at him and pointed his cannon right over towards the little digimon.
"No! Ok, Terriermon! Lets try a little speed boost."
Gorillamon fires a shot right over towards Terriermon and the blast hits right near where he was standing, causing Terriermon to go flying back into a nearby rock wall. Gorillamon charges over towards where Terriermon was laying. Terriermon quickly gets to his feet and goes flying up. He then delivers a head butt right into the forehead of Gorillamon, catching the hairy beat off guard. Terriermon gets behind Gorillamon and then spins himself as if he were a helicopter propeller.
"Take this, stinky! Terrier Tornado!"
The tiny digimon was able to take Gorillamon down and cause him to fall off of his feet with the effective attack. Gorillamon tried getting up, but his cannon arm was too much weight to even handle. Terriermon lands and dances around with a smirk on his face.
"How's that for stepping up and falling down, stinky?!"
"Alright! Way to go, Terriermon! You should really cut down on the trash talking but you're doing fairly well for a rookie-level. Now lets put the… What the?!"
Gorillamon manages to get his second wind and fires a cannon shot that nails Terriermon, sending him flying back. Gorillamon quickly phases out and flies right over towards Terriermon, and executing an elbow shot into his gut.
"No, Terriermon!! You have to withstand it!
Terriermon falls face first onto the ground and then looks right over towards Gorillamon, who was now slowly walking over towards the fallen warrior. Gorillamon picks Terriermon up by his head and plans on smashing him into the ground.
"Alright! Here we go! Another power boost card! Card Slash!!"
But as soon as he did that, the whole computer screen turned black and then green lettering appeared in rather slow motion. The letters read...
[Digimon Tamers First Evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION
"Terriermon shinka!!"
Then Henry watched as Terriermon was quickly starting to evolve into his champion level form. The little digimon's skin started to peel away to reveal grid-like insides, which indicated that his body was definitely made of data. Then a protective shell started to cover his body and he was evolving into his next form. Right in Terriermon's place was none other than the chain-gun swinging and pant wearing Gargomon.
"Gargomon!!"
Gorillamon steps away. Gargomon stands right in front of him with a devious smirk on his face.
"Thats Terriermon's champion level form! All right! We're back in the game!"
"Gargo Laser!!"
Gargomon started firing away at Gorillamon, which caused the beast to retreat into another direction. Gargomon goes and chases Gorillamon off while going gun crazy and continuing firing away his shots at the retreating beast.
"Alright! That's it! Yeah! Go, Gargomon!"
But just then, Henry just realized something and noticed Gargomon's unusual behavior. He was acting much differently than when he was Terriermon. Henry realized that he couldn't even control him, which caused the boy to become sad.
"Why are you still attacking?! You won the battle! No! You're just like the rest of them! I just don't know who you even are anymore..."
End of Flashback
Takato and Kari looked at Henry with awed looks and were now getting a better understanding on how Henry was unable to control Terriermon in the first place.
"You're still obviously still a rookie at this sort of thing," Kari said, "You have to give it some time. Terriermon will eventually gain control over his new form. Heck, when I first met Gatomon, she was afraid of getting near me but as soon as I became the Eighth Digi-Destined, we knew that we'd stick to each other's side and watching each others backs. That's what friends are for, Henry. You will just need to give it some time. Besides, I think Terriermon is already appreciative to what you have done for him as of late."
"Really? That's good to know and hearing all that makes me feel better."
Flashback
Henry watches as Terriermon was slowly getting to his feet with a beaten up look on his face, after being ganged attacked by several enemy digimon. Henry could only look on in horror as Terriermon fell face first and was out of it.
"What have I done? I shouldn't have put too much power into you. I'm a terrible Tamer… What was I thinking? I'm sorry…"
Suddenly, there were drops of tears coming down onto the keyboard as Henry lowered his head in shame. Just then, a blue card suddenly appeared among his pile of modify cards. He gazes upon it and picks it up.
"I don't remember having a blue card. But maybe, I can use it to help restore Terriermon. I'm just going to have to keep my fingers crossed."
He puts the card right through the card reader's slot and it begins to glow. Henry gazed to at his card reader, which was now transforming into some sort of device. As soon as he touched his card slash device, it glowed a bright light and transformed itself into a digivice. It was the same model, which Takato had received. Henry then notices the digivice and picks it up.
"What is this? Don't tell me that it's for real, what is this thing?"
Henry then points it over towards his computer screen and a large beam of light comes forth towards the boy. Then something was lying in the palm of his hands. It was none other than Terriermon. Henry looked down at him and realized that he was real and not just an optical illusion. Terriermon regained his senses and then looks right up at a teary-eyed Henry.
"Hey? Would you stop the waterworks, here?"
Henry looks down and then a smile forms across his face. He lifts Terriermon up and then looks right into his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Terriermon. I shouldn't have done that to you. What was I thinking for sending you into battle like that…"
"You don't have to worry about me… I'm fine… See?"
The tiny mammal digimon crawled up on top of Henry's head and looked down at the sobbing boy. He knew that he could have to remain close to Henry in order to keep him from ever being down ever again.
"Momentai."
End of Flashback
"And that's how we eventually met. From this day forth, I will promise to myself not to rush into such situations such as pushing Terriermon into battle like that and not knowing that his champion-level form would be difficult to control at the same time. Terriermon, will you forgive me?"
As soon as he asked that, the now de-evolved Terriermon comes running up to him and jumping on top of his head with a smile on his face.
"Momentai, Henry! Everything just cool! Don't be so down on yourself. Can you do that for me, buddy?"
"Yeah. I promise."
Just then, Guilmon and Gatomon sensed a presence as they looked out towards another direction. Both of them have probably felt the presence of another digimon about to bio-emerge. Soon, Terriermon was picking up its energy signal. The Tamer boys take notice of this and take a look at their D-Arks.
"Its another digimon about to emerge," said Takato.
"Right! Its time to take some action," replied Henry.
"You think you're up for another battle, Gatomon?" asked Kari.
"You bet! My claws are ready to slice and dice like never before," Gatomon remarked.
With that said, Guilmon sprints off towards the location of the now bio-emerging digimon. Terriermon and Gatomon were next to follow him along. The Tamer boys and Kari then follow along.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the people over at Hypnos were just tracing the location of the new Wild One about to bio-emerge in what seemed to be in an old warehouse.
"Another wild one and its huge," said Riley, "And we were unable to stop it! It's going to bio-emerge!"
"Damn! Another bites the hook and breaks the line! These Wild Ones are becoming a pain!"
"Bio-emergence is now complete. And it's much larger than the previous wild ones before."
***************************************************************************************
As soon as the digimon arrived at the warehouse, a huge fog cloud was beginning to clear away and there stood a huge, ape-like monster with a cannon on his left arm. Terriermon peered right through and could easily tell who it was.
"Agh! Its him!"
"Who, Terriermon?" asked Guilmon.
"Gorillamon! Yo! It's been a while, stinky!"
The Tamer boys come running in and they gasped as they gazed over towards the towering monster, Gorillamon. Kari comes running in and then stops once he saw Gorillamon facing down the three digimon.
"Give us a reading through your digivice," said Takato.
"Ok. Lets take a look here," replied Henry as he looked over his digivice and a holographic image of Gorillamon is displayed.
[Gorillamon. Champion Level. Special Attack: Energy Cannon]
"I can't believe it! That's the same Gorillamon that Terriermon battled in my game," Henry exclaimed.
"How do you know for sure," asked Kari.
"Because I can tell, plus Terriermon knows him. So that's pretty obvious."
[Random Dragonball Z Battle music plays]
Gorillamon goes charging at the three digimon while thrashing out his arms. Guilmon and Terriermon all jumped out of the way while Gorillamon continued his relentless assault. Gatomon sprints right under the giant ape's legs and joins up with the other two.
"Alright! I say we all attack together and give him everything we got," said Gatomon.
"Right! I'll start off!" exclaimed Guilmon, "Pyro Sphere!!"
Guilmon shoots out a fiery red ball and sends it flying at Gorillamon, causing him to flinch and fall backwards. Terriermon was next up as he shoots out several pellet-like green blasts.
"Bunny Blast!!"
However, they only merely affected the towering beast and caused him to become immobilized at the last few moments. Gatomon goes flying up at Gorillamon and slashes across his face.
"Lighting Claw!!"
Gorillamon goes falling down onto the ground as the three digimon celebrated their temporary victory. But that would soon be cut short as Gorillamon quickly rose up to power up his cannon.
"Energy Cannon!!"
He sends out a powerful blast, which the three digimon easily maneuvered away from. The blast goes flying right through a wall and into a nearby brick wall, causing it to explode.
"Whew, that was a close one," said Guilmon.
"We should be really careful with this guy. He is dangerous and we should stop him as soon as possible," Gatomon replied.
"Leave it to me. I've fought this stinking monkey before. I think I should handle this," Terriermon said.
"But you alone? We can't risk you getting killed," Guilmon remarked.
"Don't worry! I'll be back before you know it! Just momentai!"
"Um, what exactly does momentai mean?"
"It means take it easy!"
With that said Terriermon goes stepping in towards the battle ground against the towering giant himself. Gorillamon looks right down at Terriermon and a huge smile forms across his face.
"Terriermon…"
"Yeah, its me, stinky! Ready for the rematch? And I plan not to evolve to beat you? How does that bring you?!"
Gorillamon responds by roaring loudly and pounding away at his chest. Terriermon watched as Gorillamon went charging towards him. Terriermon easily sees him coming and maneuvers away.
"Ha! Ha! Missed me!"
Gorillamon goes throwing rapid punches right over at Terriermon, in order to get a good hit on him. It was all but to no avail against the ultra quick Terriermon. Terriermon goes flying up and then delivers a head butt to Gorillamon. Terriermon lands on his feet and then spins himself like a helicopter propeller once again.
"Terrier Tornado!!"
But this time, Gorillamon was able to see his adversary coming right for him and then bashes him with a fist to the little digimon's face. The force of the punch causes Terriermon to go flying right back.
"No! Terriermon! I can't afford to lose you! Hang in there, buddy," exclaimed Henry.
"Hey, wait a sec. What if you try using one of your cards," said Takato.
"Yeah! That's a good idea! Great thinking, Takato," said Henry, "I should have thought about that earlier."
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Henry pulls out a card from his pocket and then slashes it right through his digivice's slot.
"Card Slash!! Training Grips card!!"
"A training grips card? Why use such a worthless card," asked Takato.
"Just watch and learn," said Henry.
Terriermon sat up and then a pair of what looked like a pair of giant handcuffs appeared around his ears. They were training grips. Then he launches it right over towards Gorillamon. This resistance item would then latch itself and cuff Gorillamon, in order to restrain him down.
"Yeah! We got him," exclaimed Guilmon, "Lets all attack at full force once again! Pyro Sphere!"
"Cats Eye Beam!!"
"Terrier Tornado!!"
All of these attacks were more than enough to bring the giant ape down to his knees, and severely damaged him.
"They got him! But, he's not through yet! We still have to finish him off," said Takato.
"He's getting up! Look out Terriermon," exclaimed Henry.
As soon as Gorillamon was about to blast them away with another Energy Cannon, Terriermon saw him about to make his next move and goes flying right towards him.
"Bunny Blast!!"
The small pellet-like blasts go shooting right into Gorillamon's cannon arm and the cannon arm starts to become filled with tons of energy that not even Gorillamon could withstand, which then caused him to explode and turn into fragments of data as a result. Terriermon runs over and goes to absorb the data, but then is stopped by the call of Henry.
"Terriermon! I don't want you to absorb his data!"
"Aww, c'mon Henry. Can't I at least do my victory dance?"
Terriermon stood on one foot and then danced around doing his little victory dance. Henry looks over at where Gorillamon was deleted and watched as Takato walked up towards him.
"So, why didn't you want Terriermon to absorb his data? That could have made him stronger."
"I don't want him to digivolve. That's just it. You told everything about not able to control him, so you got your answer."
"So what do you think happened to Gorillamon's data," asked Takato.
"Probably went back...to the other side. Wherever he came from," said Henry, "Probably the Digital World."
"But I thought for sure, Azulongmon closed up all of the gates using the power of the digicores. Only the Digi-Destined are able to enter, but how are digimon entering into this world? Is it possible that there maybe another Digital World,"Kari said to herself in thought.
The Tamers left to discuss this situation elsewhere and were soon gone as the local authorities arrived at the scene of the former battle site just a few moments later. It looks like Yamaki has a lot more problems in this situation than previously thought. These 'Wild Ones' are now becoming a public nuisance.
Unknown to the situation, Davis and Veemon had witnessed the entire battle unfold. They were taken back by how a rookie such as Terriermon was able to defeat a monster, such as Gorillamon.
"Davis? Did you see that?"
"I sure did. These Tamers are a lot better than I thought."
"I say we keep an eye on them."
"This 'card slash' sounds so cool! Speaking of cards, you looking forward to the Battle City Tournament?"
"You know I'm there!"
"If those Tamers can make their digimon stronger, then I should do the same for Veemon."
************************************************************************************
Takato and Henry stood over at the West Shinjuku Bridge while taking a look out towards the city. They would finish up their conversation concerning the whole digivolution theory.
"You know, Rika was wrong our digimon being tools in battle. They are not even pets either. They are friends to us and that's how they should be," said Henry, "I mean, Terriermon went out there today to protect me and he did a fine job handling Gorillamon even in rookie-level form."
"Well, I just wanted to pay back ol' stinky for ganging up on me when I had my back turned," Terriermon replied, "But yeah, that was sure fun."
"And I believe that our digimon are getting quite stronger after each battle. I mean, I found it shocking to see a rookie-level to defeat a large, champion such as Gorillamon. Guilmon, it's time to get tough. I'm going to make you as strong as possible."
"Yeah. But I am a little hungry after all of that fighting. Can we get some grub, Takatomon?"
"Sure, buddy. After all, a good fighter needs his nutritional meal. And for the last time, I'm not a mon. You got it?"
"Hehe. Ok, Takatomon," Guilmon said in a teasing manner.
Kari and Gatomon could only look on with smiles on their faces. Gatomon hops down and then climbs right up a tree.
"So, what do you think? Is it possible that Guilmon and Terriermon's ki levels will increase quickly? I mean, let's put it this way. These two could possibly be even stronger than Agumon or even Veemon."
"I'm positive," Gatomon replied, "After seeing Terriermon put the whooping to Gorillamon in the end, that was proof enough for me. I mean, not even I'm able to defeat a huge monster like that! But their power also has to do with the cards as well."
"Yeah. Those cards give tons of energy and speed boosts for the digimon. And why wasn't I ever told about the cards? Am I missing something here?" asked Kari.
Gatomon pulls out a card of herself and hands it over to Kari. She then jumps down and heads off into the forest to take a cat walk. Kari closely examines the card and she quirks an eyebrow.
"I'm going to have to give this a lot of study and examination. I want to know how these cards could be so useful in digimon battles. One way to find…"
Just how strong will Terriermon, or even Guilmon, be? And what is the secret behind the Slash cards? Will Rika ever learn that digimon aren't tools of a game?
