23. Episode 23:Perfumes R Us! Mimi & Suzy

It's that time again. I do not own Digimon or Pokemon. I don't even own BlackTerriermon or anything. Hell, I don't even own these blank CDs from Terra that I'm holding…(Terra swipes the CDs)…not anymore. Anywho, from now on, the story will not really jump from one town to the next; it'll go by all the way till it's finished. But, it will still jump around to the Clone Tamers, and Ash, Tai, Davis, and Hiro's saga….what's wrong, Misty?

Misty: I can't believe they cut me off the show! THOSE…ARRRGH!!"

Actually, I went to a site called www.serebii.net and found out that in most episodes shows mini series of you and the rest of the Kanto gang, so you're not out of the story, and…

Misty: SO WHAT? I'm not with the other like Brock, Pikachu…~sniff~…and Ash is by himself with that wolf May to have! ARRRGH!!!"

Jeez, as I was gonna say that in one episode with Casey guest staring, your sisters come back, so you don't have to watch the gym, meaning that you might head for Houen…

Misty: (Sparkles in her eyes) And find my friends…? YES!!! Wait till I get my hands on that Ash and that little tramp! ARRAAAGH!!!" (Runs off.)

~sigh~…well at least Misty will return in a few episodes later in the Houen league…but I prey for May's safety. (Still hears Misty's violent screams.) …may god be with us all. Oh, after putting four of my Digivolved Pokemon in his fic, this chapter is dedicated to Ninetalesuk. Get ready, dude, your favorite Pokemon Digivolves in this chapter.

Oh and to Youkai, sorry, but because of the length of this chapter, I had to cut off your character's scene for next chapter. Don't worry, he'll be in it. HIT IT!!

(Terra slams her fist on Max's head.)

Max: OW!! I'm gonna hurt Ninetalesuk for starting that.

Terra: You'll what? (Cracks her knuckles.)

Max: Uh…never mind.

                                                   Digimon/Pokemon: Mon Wars

???: ???

  "Okay, we're inside a Danger Room look-a-like, backing away from the powers of THE most powerful dark Digimon ever…what do we do?" muttered BlackTerriermon.

  "Cower in fear?" Takato fearfully suggested

Like he said, the 'Tamers' are trapped in a room, camouflaged to look like they're in space, with the most dangerous Digimon ever; Daemon.

Daemon: Demon Lord Digimon. The cruel and inhuman leader of the Dark Digimon. He commands the flames or Purgatory.

Type: virus

Stage: Mega

Attacks: Evil Inferno, Flame Inferno

Sure, the Tamers were attempting to fight Daemon in order to find their way back home, but they never figured how to, considering this Digimon is practically unstoppable.

With the ultimate disaster and fatal death waiting to touch their skins, all this suddenly jogged a little of Henry's memory.  "Wait a minute…I remembered when we went to some place…I think the Yuggoth Program damaged our Bio-Merge functions." 

Rika's nerves tensed with chill. She grabbed onto her friend's collar. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BRAINIAC?!! WE CAN'T DIGIVOLVE TO MEGA?!!"

Though watching a pest mangle another would be fun to watch, Daemon does not want to waste precious materials.

  "Datamon, if you please…?"

High above, three purple lights shot individual beams at the children. The Tamers grunted from the pain that slowly dissolved to nothing. After the beams faded, the kids looked at themselves to see if anything was missing.

  "Now, your Bio-Merge abilities are fully charged."

Takato glance up at the flying demon with question in his eyes. "Why would you give us our powers back?"

  "Duh, Gogglehead; he wants a challenge."

The leader smiled at the red-head. "I might as well take your word for it; after all, you're veteran to this category."

  "What does that suppose to mean, Goggles?"

Henry groaned at their quarrel. "Would you two put that aside; we have MUCH bigger things to worry about."

  "Fine..." muttered the two.

(Bio-Merge Digivolution)

The Tamers' D-Arcs glowed with dark, purple energy as they held it tight.

  "BIO-MERGE, ACTIVATE!!!" 

The three glowed like a light as they were surrounded in blue, purple, and gray spheres. Their Digimon then hovered behind their Tamers while the kids slowly broke down to data.

  "BAGUILMON BIO-MERGE TOOOO….!!"

Dark fire coursed around BaGuilmon's body, like the dragons would around their mountain home. He then grew to a large body, incased in knight armor. His dark blue cape flowed along the winds, and his dark blue shoulder pads glisten with metallic delight. The dragon's face broke apart to become the dark blue mask of the knight's helmet. He is the knight of darkness. He and Takato are…

  "CHAOSDUKEMON!!!"

  "YAMINAMON BIO-MERGE TOOO…!!"

The dark version of Renamon found herself hovering in a dark area, with spirits flying by. The sprits then caught her and wrapped all around her body.  The spirits separated from her body, leaving Yaminamon as a spiritual being in dark blue, goddess like armor, including a fox mask, and long white hair, and a staff. The spiritual human, who resembled the famous Sakuyamon, and shared with Rika and Yaminamon is…

  "KUZUHAMON!!!"

  "BLACKTERRIERMON BIO-MERGE TOOO…!!"

Flying upward in a tunnel of zeros and ones, robotic arms locked metal plates on the dog's growing body. His body was covered with weapon packed armor from head to toe, like a walking fortress. His face had a comical dog head. Blue energy glowed like electricity between his black armor. Within the matrix, he is the walking machine of destruction. He and Henry are…

  "BLACK-SAINTGALGOMON!!!"

Three geyser of dark energy flowed like smooth fires. Like a bomb inside of an egg, the fires burst, revealing the three warriors of darkness; alternate forms of the ones who defeated the D-Reaper.  With their all mighty powers back within their souls, they are ready to face the being of evil.

  "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!!!"

If Rika can ever get over the change.

ChaosDukemon: Dark Knight Digimon. This dark knight brings disaster from the chaos of darkness.

Type: virus

Stage: Mega

Attacks: Judecca Lance, Demon's Disaster

BlackSaintGalgomon: Machine Digimon. A moving fortress that blows black smoke; a landing assault model SaintGalgomon.

Type: data/virus

Stage: Mega

Attacks: Radiation Missiles, Galgo Blades, Darkness Pummel, Rapid Barrage

Kuzuhamon: God man Digimon. Descended from onmyouji diviners; a dark shaman that feeds on souls who have not crossed over to the afterlife.

Type: data

Stage: Mega

Attacks: Demon Helix, Dark Triad

  "This is NOT Sakuyamon! What did you do to our Digimon?!!"

Daemon looked at his fingers that now are rubbing within each other. "Dark forms are but appropriate within my league."

  "What does that mean?" Takato's voice said through ChaosDukemon.

  "Hey Takato, what did you call yourself again? ChaosDukemon?" BlackTerriermon asked. "BWAHAHAHA!! Nice name, Batman! BWAHAHAHA!!!"

  "Terriermon! Not now!" 

Daemon raised his hands, in a Magneto way, while he hovered higher. "And so the final test begins. Come; attack with all your power."

  "Oh I'll attack all right! Eat this! DEMON HELIX!!"

Fox shaped flames, surrounding some chains shot from behind her, but the dark Mega merely swatted them away.

  "A shame that you are just a mere data; such a shame for a lovely, weak creature."

  "Uh, oh."

  "WHAT?!!" an angry and raged Kuzuhamon rocket toward the virus Digimon.

  "Blinded fool! EVIL INFERNO!!!"

Flashing his palm before Kuzuhamon, an orb of intense fire grew larger and larger, till it was the size of a buggy car, and then it fired straight at the data type.

  "RIKA!!" the blast crashed into, not Kuzuhamon, but the shield of ChaosDukemon. "Whew…you okay?"

Although inside her purple sphere, Rika felt her cheeks a little hot, and she was shocked and surprised that Takato saved her…again. But…  "Dammit, Gogglehead, I can take care of myself!"

  "Well gee, you sure didn't say that when Ryo saved ya from that Reaper agent." BlackTerriermon said as Black SaintGalgomon flew over the two.

  "Focus, Terriermon." Henry warned.

  "I am! I am! GALGO BLADES!!"

Lifting his arm up, a flaming blade of purple energy was emitted from his right cannon. He swung the blade downward at Daemon, but the Digimon effortlessly caught it with his wrist.

  "Another data Digimon? Bah! FLAME INFERNO!!"

Before he knew it, the machine Digimon found himself engulfed in a powerful wave of fire.

  "GAAAAAHHHH!!!"

  "JUDECCA LANCE!!!" But suddenly, a stream of yellow flames shot across the flames and cut it off. "You okay?" ChaosDukemon asked.

B.SaintGalgomon slowly stood straight with smoke rising from his black armor. "Yeah, but I don't get it. I thought we be both virus and data type?" Henry asked, confused.

  "Henroid, I was wondering why my bod was feeling a dull side of black. Hang on." The dog machine shook his fist as he meditated his energy. Then, the black color of his armor grew darker. "Ah HA! See, Henry? We can switch from data to virus type in this one."

  "Alright! Now let's show this Digimon what we can do!"

  "Geyeah! Hey, lord-boy! I got a present for ya!" almost every part of his body revealed rows of missiles, guns, and blasters, and now they were aimed right for the demon Digimon that ChaosDukemon was keeping back. "RAPID BARRAGE!!"

A number of whistles forced Daemon and ChaosDukemon to look behind, which were a number of destructive fire weapons.

  "Uh oh." The knight squealed before he soared away.

Daemon felt like he was blown by a number of punches that pushed him back as the missiles, lasers, etc exploded one by one like fireworks.

BlackTerriermon took control and saluted at the chaotic explosions. "Poor little dude…I salute you."

  "FLAME INFERNO!!"

But a gigantic force of fire blew away the shots. When the smoke cleared, Daemon hovered far from his opponents, unharmed.

  "Jeez! He didn't take a dent! What kind of bullet vest is he wearing, the kidney 2000 kind?" BlackTerriermon shouted.

  "EVIL INFERNO!!" Daemon thrust his palms in sonic speed to throw a storm of fireballs.

The knight's eyes grew as wide as golf balls as his fate was gaining fast. "INCOMING!!!"   

Celadon City: 7:03 PM

  "Wow, with all these clothes I bought, its amazing that we still have twenty stores to explore."

We take you live at a local shopping center in the large city of Celadon to find none other than the queen of fashion, soon to be cook-show host, Mimi, along with her Digimon partner, now suffering to be ever still as a plush toy, Palmon, her trainer, breeder partner, Suzy, and the corporate…uh the elegant gym leader of Celadon, Erica, spend their time and need to go shopping….

When they really were suppose to patrol for any Digimon.

But ol Miss Inner Beauty, Suzy, had her mind on the mission. However, thanks to the plant lady, Erica, being around the secret warriors of monster taming, they might as well have to call that for tomorrow.

  "Mimi, we've been shopping for an hour, and there really isn't much for me to buy since we already done this shopping this morning. Don't you think we should….you know, return to our business?" (Max's note: Getcha MINDS outta that gutta!)  

(Terra's note: Max, shut up and sit down…that stupid site he goes to!)

  "Oh you can never buy enough. By the way, is that all you're getting Suzy; a bunch pet brushes?"

 Right as Suzy nodded, the elitist gym leader checked her watch. "I think we should head back. I do need to check my financia…er, Pokemon I mean."

However, being a friend to Erica does draw back some info on her that made the greed haired Suzy glare.

  "Erica, I know how much of a money-hog you are, and don't you give me that empathy stuff."

But just as the lady in the Japanese kimono or whatever it is tries to counter her friend who knows her oh so much, a loud sound burst through their ears; a sound that can only mean one thing…

The Pidgeys ate some rice.

My mistake…someone blasted something with explosions good!

 The girls found a large bank of smoke flowing out of a perfume store, many yards away from the girls. Below the smoke lies glass shards from the broken glass windows, and also motionless bodies lying on the front of the store,…naw, don't worry, there were no people; that store was closed and…just messing with ya…those bodies are DEAD…HA, fooled ya! They're just unconscious and injured.

  "Oh my god! What happened?" Suzy cried as she and the girls arrived at the area.

Although Erica was about to suggest that they should make way before the robbers come out with guns, but she was wrong about one or two things of these robber, for they do not have any armed weaponry…nor that are they human.

  In fact, hopping out of the smoke were five vegetable monsters with no legs, snappy mouths, and long arms with squash shaped hands. Two of these unnatural creatures carried bags strapped on their backs to carry their loot.

  "Digimon…" Mimi whispered to Suzy so to not let Erica hear. With that, Suzy quietly pulled out her emerald D-Sphere, and her Houen model poke-dex.       

Veggiemon: Plant Digimon. Weed type creatures that are mostly found in the most dirty and vile places. Beware, these Digimon may smell.

Type: virus/ grass, poison

Stage: Champion

Level: 25 each

Attacks: Poop Attack, Stink Breath

  "That thing wasn't kidding." Mimi whispered with fingers squeezing her nose.

The other, non-stinky plant Digimon poked her partner's shoulder, since she was riding on them. "Mimi, let me get in there. I can take them!"

  "But Erica we'll see you, and…"

However her sentence was cut off by the sound of fire thrown. Yes, right with the hopping squashes stood the fiery Growlith, blowing its flaming breath upon the stinky plants. Meters away from that fight, an Officer Jenny quickly dragged the bodies to safety, unconcerned for any damage she might cause to the poor souls.

  A Flamethrower attack brought one of the non-bagged Veggiemon to flames. It ran around like one of those cartoon characters caught on fire and crashed through the glass railing to fall to the first floor; luckily plummeting into a fountain to cool off.

  "Ahhhh…" it went as the smoke rose to the ceiling. It sure did felt good. The concentration of helping his comrades slipped out of his mind.

  "I guess we're not…needed." Suzy said. If Jenny is handling the caper, what's the point of revealing our cover now?

Finally, someone to do the work for them without breaking a nail…er, Palmon's nail; like Mimi does the fighting.  "Great…less work for us."

The plant Digimon of Mimi's shook her head. "But we should…we do have to send them back to their Digital World…besides, hopefully Mew or Mewtwo will erase their heads."

  "Oh…phooey!" Mimi pouts. She was right; despite the cute furry fire breather, they have to help. That cop probably doesn't know what she's getting in to; But what about Erica? Since that she's already watching Digimon, oh well. Might as well let it go before keeping these secrets really give her a migraine. "Um…Erica…this may shock you, but…remember when I said this thing was just a toy?"

The gym leader was unsure where this is going.  "Yes?"

The gym leader went pale when she saw the 'toy' raise its head smile. "Hi!"

  "It isn't."

Her pink little face became the color of a blueberry. But how could it…she thought that thing was just a toy…? And how could it talk…? What's going on?  "Uh…uh…tha…tha…tha…"

  "Yep, name's Palmon! Alright, let's take em! Bring me a Pokemon partner to help me, will ya?" the Digimon asked Suzy. Despite them being weak Champions, they do out number her, and Palmon needs a helper.

Nodding, the breeder drew out a poke-ball from her pocket. "VULPIX, GO!" and with that, the red vulpine Pokemon emerged from the ball that popped to the shiny floor. These Digimon are grass types, so using a fire type like Vulpix will quickly end this chaos.

  "Vul…!" finally, it was ready to show her original master how much she improved with Brock, and hold the honor for Pokemon everywhere against these stinky creatures.

Wasting no time, Palmon rushed to the battle, along with the six tailed fox. "POISON IVY!!" she wrapped two of the Veggiemon together, and then gave them a whirl-ride to the floor; right on their kisser.

There're two over there. Maybe catching them at the same time will end this quick. "Vulpix, wrap the rest with Fire Spin!"

The fire type's eyes shined in the glow of the sun before she blew flames from her mouth that swirled around the last two of the Veggiemon like a twister. Just like their first comrade, they burst into flames and rocket upward and plummet into the fountain, where the splash rose up to the second floor.

  "Wow that was easy." Mimi said, all surprised. She was expecting this to be really stressful, but these Veggiemon barely put up a fight.

Suzy draw out her green poke-ball to D-Sphere mode "Of course; grass types are weak against fire…D-SPHERE, GO!!" the breeder tossed the Digivice poke-ball onto the ones Palmon attacked, trapping them one by one, like a regular poke-ball, which then send them back to the matrix system Gennai built.

 However, as the D-Sphere magically flew back to Suzy's palm Erica was shocked, astonished and whatever to, not only at these preternatural creatures, but a poke-ball that can capture two Pokemon. Even she knows that a poke-ball can't catch two Pokemon at once.

  "Uh…how…did…how could that thing capture two…Pokemon?" she asked, which seems like she had trouble to speak.

Should she tell? Even though she discovered the Digimon, the knowledge of the gear like the D-Sphere would point out their mission…oh why not?  "This is not a regular poke-ball, and those weren't Pokemon."

Oh, but only if Erica was the only one who saw that display of stupendous fighting; the entire mall saw it, including the same Officer Jenny who help the twerps find missing kids who thought they were Pokemon (Even though the officer around her twenties didn't bother to look in the park), seen the entire thing, like her Pokemon.

  A loud whip sound was what broke Jenny's thought of questioning the heroines. Like the toxic smoke wasn't a big deal, a tall woman walked out. Her attire was black; related to the plant life. Worn on her head appeared to be a rose hat, covering her eyes; one could wonder: How can she see through that hat?

  In the minds of a trainer, it knows that there are no good or evil Pokemon; it all depends on the trainer who raises it. Now, in Officer Jenny's theory, it's quite simple, really. These strange Pokemon belong to this unusual dressed woman.

  "You there! I'm placing you under arrest for attempted theft!"

The dark lady smirked at the officer, who was short compared to her. "Attempted? No, my dear human…it has already been committed, and commit it shall end beautifully like me."

The Rookie plant grimed at this now laughing lady as she and Vulpix backed to their human partners.

This creature…it looked familiar…and it did not felt or seem like a human.  "Mimi, that's no lady, that's a Digimon!"

  "What? Are you sure?"

  "Only one way to find out." Suzy said, whipping her poke-dex and D-Sphere once again.

IvyRosemon: Fairy Digimon. Although a Rosemon's behavior can be unique compare to each other, IvyRosemons are always 100% lethal and dangerous. Beware, this Digimon can control the body and mind with its whip.  

Type: Virus/grass, dark

Stage: Mega

Level: 47

Attack: Spell Whip, Thorn Whip, Black Roses

  "Well that answers your question. She is a Digimon, and it said that it's a Mega, whatever that means." this cause both Mimi and Palmon to almost stumble back. 

  "A MEGA?!!" Mimi screamed. It was bad enough they had to deal with those awful Dark Masters, but another Mega…? How will they beat her without Lilymon?

  "That's the strongest level in Digimon!" Suzy gulped from Palmon's words. But maybe…they still have a chance. Just because she's a Mega, doesn't mean she's strong as an average Mega.  "But…we can't let that scare us; right Mimi?"

The girl snapped out of her frightened state and switched to DigiDestined mode. "Um…yeah! Alright, let's stop her!"

(Digivolution)

  "PALMON DIGIVOLVE TOOO….TOGEMON!!!"

The cactus Digimon with the boxing gloves thundered to the floor, ready to kick some tall plant lady butt. But being the Mega Digimon's new opponent, IvyRosemon didn't look impressed.

  "A Champion dares to challenge me? My dear, you must be in a hurry to die."

  "A friend of mine once said: Life's full of surprises."

The cactus Digimon charged like a large wrestler towards the Mega, but IvyRosemon softly chuckled at Togemon's attempts.

  "Hey, it is illegal for a Pokemon to attack a human!" Jenny warned. "Call off your Pokemon, or…"

  "BLACK ROSES!!" the virus Digimon twirled her whip to unleash a storm of black petals stabbed through Togemon's skin and forced her back.

  "Togemon!" Mimi cried.

From what Jenny learned in life, humans can never throw razor petals from out of whips. Of course, maybe there's a logical reason for that.

  "Now, darlin, let's see you dance! THORN WHIP!!"

IvyRosemon lashed her whip, harshly giving Togemon painful scars on her skin. The Champion quickly then rolled away as the strength of the whips increased and actually cracked the floors.

Jenny's jaw dropped upon the awesome power of this mysterious yet powerful female. Now, there is no way anyone can crack floors with a whip like it was soft as crackers; no way. And she's easily taking down a Pokemon on her own; humans can never match to a power of a Pokemon alone.

IvyRosemon wrapped the large cactus Digimon with her whip and squeezed the life out of her.

  "You are right; life is full of surprises. I never knew a cactus could go squishy like this!" with that, Togemon screamed in pain as she felt the whip tighten more.

  "Let her go! You're hurting her!" Mimi shouted with tears.

The Mega evilly grinned at the teen. "Well, that's just the point, doll. How else are you…GAAAHH!!"

Due to the fact that Vulpix engulfed the Mega Digimon with a Flamethrower, she couldn't continue her sentence. IvyRosemon slashed the flames as she backed away, while Togemon dropped to her knees and gathered her breath.

  "You little freak of nature! How dare you ruin my outfit!" IvyRosemon angrily attacked with her whip, which Vulpix jumped away from.

After Suzy command Vulpix to use a Quick Attack, the Pokemon swiftly dodged the lightening whips that cracked the plaster floor, or whatever they use for mall floors.

  "Hold still, you…OUCH!!" before she knew it, Vulpix took a direct hit to her chest with the Quick Attack, but it only stung her, and the Digimon effortlessly grabbed the fox by her fur. "Buzz off, twit!" and then she tossed Vulpix past Suzy and the others.

  "Vulpix!" the breeder chased after her fallen Pokemon.

  "Alright, boys, I've done all my shopping…" IvyRosemon revealed a number of shopping bags. "..now let's return to my humble abode."

CLANG!!! But then a large geyser of dust erupts from where the Veggiemon stood.

  "What in the…who dares hurt my extra set of bag holders?"

The smoke cleared away for another Digimon; a tall humanoid cat Digimon, with an Arabian dancer look. She has black furry arms, and two black tails that had twin rings on each of them. She has long red hair tied in a braded ponytail, and her pants looked like fur from a jaguar.

  "You know, blowing people up aren't worth reaching a sale."

The plant Mega clenched her fist and teeth. "Persiamon? I thought I left your sulty, Arabic butt back in the Digital World?"       

  "Maybe you forgot to lock the door. Besides, this is a great opportunity to escape that dreadful world, and kick your veggie butt." The cat Digimon then went into a battle stance. "Now let's get on with it, like old times!"

As the new mysterious Digimon called by the name, Persiamon, battles IvyRosemon, Suzy set up her poke-dex and D-Sphere.

Persiamon: Demon Beast Digimon. It is sometimes called the goddess of cats. It has learned to puzzle its opponents with its gem and the radiance of its eyes. This Digimon has the ability to de-Digivolve Digimon with its belly dance.

Type: Virus/dark

Stage: Ultimate

Level: 49

Attacks: Vampire Dance, Helter Skelter

  "That's it! Yeah! Go get her, Persiamon!"

Suzy's eyes drifted, like attracted by magnets, over to a far corner where two kids in school uniforms stood, seemingly cheering on the cat Digimon; actually the light brown haired boy was. He wore a spiffy blue suit with a red tie. The person next to him, who stared the fight with calm, mature ease, was an attractive girl who stood an inch taller than him. She had a traditional blue school blouse with a white blouse under it that had puffy shoulders, and a red cloth hanging on the collar.

 However, next to the boy was a being about his height, but this person resembled like a fiery demon Wizardmon, only with fire clothes, goggles worn around its hat, and it yield a staff which is a large match.   

FlaWizardmon: Demon Man Digimon; A fire shaman and an alternate version of Wizardmon. This Digimon uses fire magic to defeat its enemies.

Type: virus/fire, dark

Stage: Armor

Level: 31

Attacks: Fire Cloud, Magic Ignition

  "There's another Digimon with them." Suzy warned, putting away her poke-dex. "It looks like that Digimon with that girl who always clings on Matt."

  "You mean Jun and Wizardmon?" Mimi asked.

  "Yes, but I wonder, are they DigiDestined? Cause they seem to tame Digimon right now."

The pink haired girl studied the event as Persiamon chases the speedy IvyRosemon, who dodged a fist that bust through a wall.

  "Um…gee, I don't know. We met a lot of DigiDestined in the world tour in out world. Maybe these guys are from England."

The two fighters, IvyRosemon and Persiamon, lashed a number of kicks and punches, along with slashes with their whips and claws. The two jumped away from a distance, and then the plant Mega twirled her whip while the humanoid cat waved her arms like in a dance.

  "BLACK ROSES!!"

  "HELTER SKELTER!!"

A wave of dark energy from the Arabian Digimon, and the twister of black petals from the plant Digimon collided into a burst. Mimi and Suzy had to shield their faces after the shockwave passed through.

  "Enough of this; this is my best outfit, and I don't wanna get it ruined. We'll settle this some other time, tramp!" with amazing strength, IvyRosemon launched through the glass ceiling, with her Veggiemons extending their long arms to her escape path.

  "That little chicken-weed; just once I like to scratch that ugly face of hers!" 

The two kids ran by Persiamon to the exit doors. "Come on, Persiamon! After them!"

Mimi and Suzy mindlessly watched the anonymous beings leave through the exit doors. Their thoughts were on the subject of who were they, and what connection that Persiamon had with that IvyRosemon.

  "Uh…aren't we gonna follow them, Mimi?" asked Palmon.

Mimi finally snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh…I guess."

  "The two of you…Freeze!"  

But first, if they want to chase after the digital fiends that wrecked havoc and madness, and follow those mysterious DigiDestined, they must deal with young officer that is named Jenny.

  "We have nothing to do with this, officer." Suzy tried to talk out of.

Jenny though refused to change her mind. "You two better come with me to discuss this event, and I would like to see about that Pokemon."

  "We're not going to jail, are we? Please don't take Palmon!" Mimi cried in spoiled-mode. "I'm too young and cute to be behind bars, and I never been in jail! I've heard lot of perverted stuff and the love that dares not speak its name happens there, and I look terrible in black and white…!"

  "Alright, save it for the judge, missy!" Jenny said, snapping the cuffs on poor Mimi. The officer then approached the breeder who seems to be in a trance. "Now rise up your arms." But the green haired woman ignored. She had her eyes closed. "Rise your arms or I'll charge you for ignoring an officer in an arres…"

  "Mew?"

Jenny gasped. Suzy and Mimi gasped. The entire mall shoppers gasped. Those who have heard of this magnificent creature never dreamed of meeting it live; person; before their eyes; the legendary Pokemon itself….Mew.

  "Suzy." Mimi whispered. "How did he know where to find us?"

  "Mew's psychic. I contacted it, mentally."

The mysterious cat circled around the awed crowd, dancing in loops that melted the folks' hearts. Right as it flew above the officer….

FLASH! 

The eyes of the citizens grew white; like their ability of sight was gone. Soon, everything slowly became clear…but….what were they doing again…?

  "Uh…huh…?" Jenny rubbed her forehead as she checked her surroundings. She saw a destroyed jewelry store, injured people lying on the floor, demolished floors, and citizens who looked like they just woke up.

  "What just happened here?" she mumbled before noticing her handcuffs on the floor.

Outside the mall, just on top of a parking garage, there appeared the girls, Mimi, Suzy, and Palmon like magic, thanks to Mew.

  "Mew, mew, mew."

Palmon nodded at the powerful Pokemon. "Mew said that nobody in the mall remembers what happened with the jewelry store, or about the Digimon or you."

Mimi's eyes sparkled. "Does this means we won't go to jail?"

  "I think so."

Like the light, Mimi rushed up to Mew and crushed him under her arms. "OH THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU, YOU OH SO CUTIE THING!!!!!"

Course if Mew didn't teleport away, he'd be as dead as a deflated stuffed animal, and taking the advice it did.

  "Hey where did he go?" the confused Mimi asked.

Suzy smiled, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You just made an example of why Mew keeps itself hidden."

  "Huh…since when?"

  "~sigh~…forget it."

  "Um…did we leave Erica back inside?"

  "I think it's best for her to have her mind erased. I don't think she'll have her head straight after finding out about the Digimon."

Palmon nodded to Suzy's sentence. "I know; she was all going weird like Gomamon does when he sees a pile of fish sandwiches." 

  "Anywise, we better find those thieves, and those kids."

Route 43: 8:34 PM

  "Ow…my head…"

The sounds of bird Pokemon played through the dark forest, mostly the Hoot Hoots and Noctowls; but on the foot of a grassy steep hill laid a young girl in biker clothes, completely woozy from her fall.

  "Okay….okay…just take it… until the woods stop spinning."

The girl, May of the island Houen, slowly got to her feet as she regain total control of her vision. However her whole body felt bruised and a bit battered. She remembered now that she had a big fall after being chased by a huge and scary Pokemon.

Pokemon…she doesn't hate them, it's just that…they had become a plague in her life. And now one tried to make that worse by almost killing her.

  "Wait…where's the professor?"

As much as she doesn't want to move on through the woods, because of that giant Pokemon, she has to find Prof. Birch. Swallowing her fear, she grabbed her bike and ride out to search for the Pokemon researcher.

  "Uh…nuh…..wha…."

There, a few yards or meters away from May laid another child in a small meadow in the woods; a male to be exact. This boy was none other than Ash Ketchum, and he seemed in worse shape than May. His jeans were ripped in splits and holes, his jacket looked as if a dog tried to bite on to it, and he had scratches and bruises on his skin. Though his hat seemed in better shape, despite that it seemed worn out a little and dirty.

If you remember, Ash and his friends battled a dangerous Ultimate Digimon called SkullGreymon. It took the powers of MetalGreymon's Giga Blaster and SkullGreymon's Dark Shot to make a powerful explosion that blew Ash high into air like a football being kicked. But one can wonder; how is it that he's still alive? Sure Ash done the impossible before, but still, not even this emotionally crippled boy could survive that.

  ~giggle~

Unless the green fairy light giggling at him and circling around his carcass had something to do with it.

  "Celi….bi?"

May was back on the road, though slowly peddling on her bike, due to the pain she felt on her legs. Not only that, the girl took as much precaution to watch for that large Pokemon that almost killed her.

  "Huh?"

But then her blue eyes glanced to her left, through the dark woods, she saw a green light, flying around like a fly on its food. The light to her was so lovely, like the shining stars of the night above.

  "YIPE!!" she quickly ducked when the light zoomed over her head. She looked over her back, but the light was nowhere in sight. "That…was no Christmas light."

Now that the light was gone, she looked back to where it last was seen. But somehow, a gentle ray of green light gazed at that spot. How could that be with the sun not around? Never the less, as she ignored the painful bruises, May dug through the bushes, curious to what this abnormal light was shining.

  "Hey now…"  

Right within the magical green light laid a boy with black hair under a worn out red cap with a L on it, ripped blue jacket and black/green t-shirt, a green back pack with a rip strap, and torn jeans and sneakers.

  "Oh my god, what happened to him?" she kneeled down to the boy, nervously trying to figure out what to do now.

  "Uh…" May heard a slight groan from the boy and then looked over his face. "Wha….M..Misty…?"

  "Your vision looks misty to you?"

  "Wha…?" the boy narrowed his eyes, trying to focus his vision. "Who…?"

He stamped his palms on the grass and struggled to push himself up. May concluded that the boy must be feeling pain as he tried to stand. "Easy there, you'll strain yourself…even more."

Putting her arm behind his shoulders, May gently helped him up, and continued by throwing his left arm over her shoulder and pulling him to his feet.

  "W...Where's...Pikachu?"

  "Pikachu…?" May paged through her limit knowledge on Pokemon. She remembered her brother talking about an electric yellow mouse called Pikachu. "I haven't seen one."

The boy motioned to walk ahead, but May's arm will not let him. "I…I have to find him…and my friends."

  "Well you won't be any good to them in this condition." 

Though there was nothing she could do with the concerned look in his eyes. He glance them straight ahead, obliviously worried about his Pokemon and friends.

  "Well…thanks anyway…uh, who are you?"

  "Oh, my name is May."

The boy gave her an arched brow. "You're not May…May is an older girl who's the granddaughter of Prof. Oak."

Though she felt a tiny bit insulted, she replied with a grim smile. "Well my name is May too…wait, you know Prof. Oak?"

  "Uh…yeah…oh please, don't let this be another Tracey."

  "I heard of him, at least from my brother. I think a friend of mine was a student of his…oh I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

  "I'm Ash Ketchum." He continued after the two reached out of the woods, and near May's bike. "So, what's with the dirty clothes?"

Her smile became grimmer. "I could say the same for yours; though it looks like I had it easy."

Ash checked his ruined clothes, and freak. "WAH! My clothes…MY HAT!"   

May held a giggle as he watched Ash cry for his wardrobe. "Oh don't worry about it; you do have extras, right?"

  "My body hurts to change, even from taking off my hat…ow…"

  "What happened to you?" her face then switched back to her frightened expression. "Did you run into that giant Pokemon too?"

Ash looked at her with grim brows. "What giant Pokemon?"

  "There was this…thing….I didn't get a good look at it, but I think it had bones."

Now the boy looked like he got something caught in his throat. Oh no, she must mean SkullGreymon!  "Uh…I think so…all I remembered was something…blasting me."

  "Maybe it was that scary Pokemon…" she cupped her fingers on her lips now. "Now I'm worried about Prof. Birch. I hope he's okay."

It would seem to Ash that SkullGreymon spooked her out, and she too was separated from her friend. It would be too dangerous to leave her alone when Digimon are roaming free in these woods, especially with SkullGreymon, if it's still alive. But then again, that was a big blast. Maybe it did bit the big one.

  "I'm sure he's fine." Ash said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worr…OW!" but he winced it away when he felt the pain coming back.

  "~giggle~…but you sure ain't…OW!" May too winced, tending to her bruised arm.

Both Ash and May stared at each other, noticing that they were both hurt and holding at the same spot of their arm. With that concluded, the two shared a fill of laughter.

Celadon Park: 8:14 PM

  "Hey look at this."

The girls made their search in town for the Digimon thieves and the new DigiDestined. Like always when in public, even in a Pokemon one, Palmon perched on her partner's shoulders in doll-mode. Suzy looked over Mimi's shoulder to read a message in her D-Terminal.

  "A black-poke-ball?"

Mimi nodded. "I don't know. Izzy said that a kid in Saffron has a dark version of Andromon and he's treating it like a Pokemon."

  "But you guys said that Digimon can't be caught by poke-balls, unless it has something to do with this black-poke-ball." A thought then shot within Suzy's mind. "Hey, maybe those kids we saw at mall have a black poke-ball."

  "Really? Why would they if they're DigiDestined?"

  "Maybe because they're really Pokemon trainers; I recognized their uniforms. They're from the Pokemon Tech outside of Cerulean City. It's a school for the wealthy where they can learn about training, and when they graduate, they can enter in the Pokemon league without going around, collecting badges."

  "Wow, really? Hmm, that's a place I'd be going if I'd lived here."

Palmon smirked. "I know; you don't even like getting one spot of dirt on any of your nails….hey! Look over there!"

The girls directed over to where Palmon pointed. They spotted a couple of shaded figures heading inside the park down the street.

  "I think that large one is Persiamon." Palmon pointed out.    

Suzy already made pursuit "Don't just stand there; after them!"

  "Boy, she sure has gotten the hang of this Digi thing quick." Mimi muttered as Palmon nod.

  "So…this is what's left after the chaos our fare kind endured at the hands of greed."

  "You're annoying me with the drama talk. Was this caused by…?"

  "No…only by the ravenous hands of the human species."

  "YOU!!"

The four unknown figures snapped around to find Suzy leading the pack of Mimi, Palmon, and her Vulpix. Mimi suddenly gasped when she caught a second sight of the ruined land. Trees torn off their roots, flowers smashed and ripped, scratched earth everywhere.

  "Wow, getting to a shoe sale isn't worth nature's misery."

  "Mimi!" Suzy warned.

The fire wizard, known as FlaWizardmon, approached in front of his comrades. "Before you jump to conclusions, let me say that we had nothing to do with this madness. What you see before you was the work of man."

  "How would you know?" Palmon asked.

  "Hmmm…." The fire Digimon's steady eye gazed at Palmon. "Your digital code doesn't seem similar to our own. Tell me…how much data have you absorbed, young one?"

  "I can't absorb data; I'd hate myself in the morning if I could."

  "Then it would seem you are not from Zhuqiaomon's realm, correct?"

  "Yeah, I'm from Azulongmon's."

The Armor Digimon rubbed his chin. "I see…that would mean that your ability to sense other Digimon is not to its full capability as those of the southern realm."

Mimi couldn't take enough of this, so she aggressively walked up to the fire Digimon. "Look, just what are you talking about? You're saying a human did this?"

  "I'm afraid so, child, but my guesses say that it was a human that obtained these native creatures."

  "He must mean a Pokemon trainer." Suzy concluded. "Then this trainer must have a black poke-ball…but…Why? And doesn't that mean you guys have a black poke-ball?"

The school children looked at each other with question. "Uh…no we don't; we didn't even catch these Digimon cause they joined us, willingly." Said the brown haired boy.

  "Oh…well thanks anywise for helping us out back at the mall and all…" Suzy politely said and a bit sheepishly. "But…we haven't caught your names."

Before the boy spoke, the girl stood in front of him with a snotty look. "I'm the top student in the most exclusive prep school in the world; Pokemon Tech. It's sad that others aren't blessed with my beauty, my talent, my humble attitude. People call me a star but….I'm just Giselle!"

You could picture a galaxy behind the girl and Persiamon doing a ta-da pose behind the snotty prep girl. Silence hit the area as the group's heads shown sweatdrops, but only FlaWizardmon and the boy slapped their foreheads.

  "And…I'm Joe."

  "JOE?!!! WHERE?!!!!"

Everyone's hearts raced when Mimi screamed like a horror-flick girl, snapping her head left and right. Mimi's face flushed when everyone stared at her with large eyes.

  "Oh…sorry, I thought you meant someone else. ~giggle~"

FlaWizardmon cleared his throat. "Um…yes, well…your names?"

  "I'm Suzy, and this is Mimi and Palmon. The Vulpix next to me…is mine."

  "Vul…"

Giselle suddenly double taked with her eyes. "You don't mean the sensational breeder: Suzy, right?"

Bashfully, Suzy rubbed her head. "Well, I don't like to call myself sensational. It's just…"

  "~ahem~, forgive me, but I would like avoid any sudden actions that Giselle-chan will make."

The rich girl glared at the red Digimon. "What do you mean?"

  "I mean that we have urgent matters to conclude. Follow us."

Mimi and Suzy looked at each other in confusion before following the other gang through the park. FlaWizardmon led the group through a trail where the damage became mild.

  "We come from a land ruled by Lord Zhuqaiomon, a sovereign who, shall I say, despise humans."

Palmon skipped past the gang, next to FlaWizardmon. "Really? Why does he hate humans? They give the best tasty spring water."

  "He has his reasons. Our world lives but one motto: the survival of the fittest, the strong shall survive, and so forth."

The breeder shook her head.  "Wait, I think Gennai told us about your world. Can you please tell us what's going on here?"

  "Patience, young one…many Digimon bio-emerged here to either find a Tamer or just cause trouble. But those like Persiamon and I only wish to search for a land of peace; away from the madness of our world. Now, according to present events, IvyRosemon and Persiamon are long rivals. Persiamon?"

The Armor Digimon groans when he found Persiamon listening to a Dicsman.  "Whenever! Wherever! Whenever we'll be together! I'll be there and you'll be near, and that…HEY!!" the cat Digimon whimpered as FlaWizardmon gave the Discman back to Giselle. "That was my favorite song. ~sniff~."

  "Persiamon! Your rival-story?"

  "~sigh~…fine. IvyRosemon was my rival, well mostly when she was a Vililymon. We'd faced each other of being the strongest, as well as the most beautiful. Course, no contest there cause I'm far out better looking then that witch-weed of a…"

  "Persia! My patience is growing thin!" growled FlaWizardmon.

  "Oh alright. And…I don't know…after when she Digivolved, she discovered ways to different worlds. So she used her new power to control other Digimon and came here. As much as I liked to get out of the Digital World, I wasn't gonna risk my pretty neck. But when I met this jerk, FlaWizardmon…"

  "Humph!"

  "…he started going on and on about the universe being doomed and stuff, so he dragged me here. But you know what…? I'm glad I decided to come here, cause then I wouldn't had met Giselle and we wouldn't have all this fun going shopping and stuff."

  "Aw stop!" Giselle spoke, modestly.

The breeder though rubbed her chin. "Wait…didn't you say that you didn't want to come here and FlaWizardmon dragged you…?"

  "Don't bother." FlaWizardmon warned. "She hates it when other people are right. As for right now, IvyRosemon simply wishes to settle here; robbing beauty stores to perfect her outer appearance. But I also heard that if she wants to settle here, she would coat this city within plants."

  "Wow, you mean she wants to turn this town into a large flower pot. Wouldn't that hurt the people here?" Mimi asked.

  "Indeed it would."

A scowl appeared on the girl's face. "That's so mean!"

  "Fear not, child. We know of her location, which is where we are proceeding to."

A large smile crossed on Joe's face. "Cool! We're gonna save the world!"

  "The city actually, Joe-kun, but yes."

As the gang made way, Mimi leaned near Suzy's ear. "This guy reminds me of my 7th grade history teacher. I mean blah, blah, blah!"

Palmon scratched her head.  "Really? His voice sounds like that guy with the red spiky hair. I think they call him Yugi or something."

Suzy giggled, but tried to remain serious before the flame Digimon glares at them. Never the less, it looks like a mission for the girls before moving on to the big challenge, and…

  "Suzy…"

A voice made her shoulders feel cold. The green haired girl stopped and looked around the woods. She shrugged, thinking that her mind was playing tricks and continued to follow her teammates.

  "Suzy…"

Now her heart slowly raced as she snapped around the land. "Who's there?"

Once again, nothing was behind her, but her nerves were shaking in her skin. The thought of someone stalking her played in her mind. She then took a deep breath and walked ahead.

  "Fraud…"

She froze in her tracks as her face turned pale. Though a cold chill crawled on the back of her spine, she shakily turned around and still found nothing.

  "Fraud…fraud…fraud…"

The voices echoed in her mind, making the woman's lungs pump hard.

  "Uh…h-h-hello…is anyone...out t-t-there?"

  "What's out there?"

Suzy's head popped up like she had the hiccups when Mimi called from behind.

  "Uh…must be hearing things…um…shall we?"    

Digital gates: ?:??

  "Where are you, coward! Fight me!"

In the confusing halls surrounded by dark green computer chip walls, the fusion knight of the digital universe, Omnimon, soared through the storm of lasers. The lasers seemed impossible to dodge; they were flying everywhere. Millions and millions shot by in every direction, taking hits on Omnimon's silver armor. However, the lasers caused minimum damage; but slowly, he was starting to feel the burn. 

  "SUPREME CANNON!!"

The Mega madly launched powerful energy blasts at every direction, lighting the realm in bright light. The walls burst in giant geysers, like something from a nuclear bomb test. With no fear, no alarm, Omnimon stood still on the floorless realm as he let the white waves rush by him like waves of the sea, which it barely moved the warrior an inch.

  "I will scathe the gates open if I have to, coward!"

  "~chuckle~…such a juvenile attempt, young warrior…" the voice paused for a moment as the white wave and its roars died down to once again show the green digital realm. "…but for someone whose voice sounds like two teenaged boys', I guess that's to be expected."

It's unbelievable. Omnimon practically bathed the area with deadly shots and the intruder is still alive. This defiantly wasn't Mephistomon, the one he let the Tamers defeat. Who is this guy?  "You should be the one to talk, with your childish acts of battle skills. If you wish to roam free in the gates, you must fight me!"

  "Perhaps in another time. I have other plans to draw to a close, my friend."

  "What plans? All I sense in them are evil…! TELL ME!!"

  "Oh I would…but that would spoil the ending. Nobody in the theaters love that, do they? Oh how I dread that person who gave away the ending to X-Men 2."

  "Quit throwing humorous stories, coward!"

  "Humph…you holy knights are certainly no fun to converse with…~sigh~…let's just say that both the Digital World and the world known as the Pokemon World will have the honor to receive my gift. Now if you excuse me…"

Suddenly, lasers fired away again, but this time cables shot from nowhere and wrapped around Omnimon's legs and arms. It allowed the lasers to take direct hit, which explosions erupted all around Omnimon's body.

  "RAAAA…..DAMN YOU!!!!!!"

With rage burning inside, Omnimon extracted his sword, cutting the cables from his left arm. He did the same to the others to free his legs and arm.

  "SUPREME CANNON!!!"

Once again, but with maximum burst, Omnimon blasted everywhere to stop the lasers. Each blast threw loud roars, louder than normal. Once again the area was engulfed in white waves that jet past the angry warrior.

  "YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME, COWARD!! RHHAAAAA!!!"

         

Abandoned Celadon Water Plant: 8:56 PM

Soon, the gang, Suzy, Mimi, Palmon, Giselle, Joe, Persiamon, and FlaWizardmon arrived on the ledge of a roaring river. On the other side of it lies an aged water factory that is covered in plant coating.

  "That's the old Celadon Water Plant. It's been abandoned for years." Stated Suzy. "So this is where IvyRosemon is hiding?"

The fire Digimon nodded. "Yes…I've done some snooping and the…" However he couldn't concentrate due to some certain tall Digimon goofing around on head phones.

  "Girls, you know you better…Watch out! Some guys, some guys are only…About! That thing, that thing, that thiiiiing! That…HEY!!"

FlaWizardmon then tossed the Discman over to Giselle. "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted…"

  "That was my favorite song…" Persiamon pouted as she was about cry.

  "…Those plants protecting the facility are what are sealing the entrances. Persiamon and I tried to cut through, but IvyRosemon had the ability to rapidly heal the plants."

  "So how are we gonna get in there?" Palmon asked.

  "Simple, my dear…" motioning over to some bushes, FlaWizardmon removed them to reveal an old ladder that was leading to a rusty manhole cover. "We shall take a burrow route."

Large eyes snapped open from Mimi's. "You mean…we have to…walk through the….s-sewers?"

  "You're not claustrophobic, are you?" Suzy asked.

  "No, sewers are…"

  "…ICKY, SLIMY, GOOEY, MUDDY, DIGUSTING, SICK, AND SMELLY!" Giselle interrupted. "Do you know what happens after people use the bathrooms? HUH?"

A blue color crossed Joe's face. "Please…I just ate, Giselle."

  "All in favor of not going…?" Mimi asked, raising her hand along with Giselle and Persiamon. Only Suzy, FlaWizardmon and Joe sighed.

  "We have no time to debate this. Joe-kun, if you may?"

  "Alright, FlaWizardmon, but Giselle is gonna hurt me for this." From his prep school shirt, Joe drew a poke-ball. "GO WEEPINBELL!!"

Released from the ball stood a bell shaped plant Pokemon, which happens to be his first Pokemon, Weepinbell. Already in command, the grass type Pokemon used its Vine Whip attack and trapped the cat Digimon.

  "HEY, LET ME GO!!!" Persiamon screamed.

It led her over to the manhole that FlaWizardmon opened and dropped her in. After doing the same to Mimi and Giselle, against their will, Joe, Suzy, Palmon, and FlaWizardmon jumped in.

  "Hmm…oh this would not do…neither will this one…" in a glamorous pink room filled with a dazzling bed and stuff that would fit the need of a fashion crazed villain, IvyRosemon went through the stolen perfume to see which she would keep and which she would dump. She kept the rejected ones in boxes, and the ones she liked on her make-up desk.

  "You there!" in record time, a Veggiemon came in the room and stood militarily. "Take these disgusting things…you know what to do with them."

  "Yes, mistress!" the Champion Digimon lashed his arms to grab the box and carry it out of the room.  

Checking herself on a desk-mirror lit with light bulbs around the frame, she used black lipstick on her lips. "Oh god am I sexy?"

  "Trec!!"

A vein grew in her right cheek as she vibrated her shoulders. She approached a small cage that contained a green salamander creature and kicked it hard like a soccer ball.

  "How DARE you address me like that! Get it right, you little piece of garbage! Who is the sexiest?"

The green critter weakly stood its shoulders. It gave a cold look at IvyRosemon… "Trec, ko, Treecko!"

PAW!! Only to have its cage get kicked three feet across the room.

  "And to think I brought you here cause of your looks. Stupid…Poke-whatever. No matter…your rudeness is the ideal needs for a king, and you will come around about my beauty." Spreading an evil smile, IvyRosemon crouched down towards the little Pokemon who was incredibly injured and bruised. "Your little friends I've captured surly posses pure nature energy within their new Digivolve energies. And with my Mega level ability, I will suck your playmates' energies to create my own nature kingdom over this slimy human city! And while I'm at it…I shall treat you to my own glamorous vision."

Even at its battered body, the little Pokemon still struggled to not give in with fear.

  "Sides, little boy, there will be another little…'treat' for you in this." Soon, the Mega laughed under her breath like most female villains do.

  "Oh joy for me." Treecko said, sarcastically as it rested its battered body.

  "Joe, I could just…hurt you for that!" 

In a semi-lit tunnel, where a water trail flows on the side, the Digi-Poke gang explored the forgotten tunnels in search of the Pokemon and perfume thief that is a Digimon. Joe wished he was somewhere else other than hearing Giselle yelling how much she'll hurt him.

  "Sorry, but there was no other way to get you down here."  

Like lightening, Giselle was already an inch near Joe's face. "I swear, when we get home you will experience a new meaning in the word 'hell'!" this caused Joe's face to go pale.

  "I assume they're always like this, huh?" Suzy asked the fire Digimon.

  "One can only tell."

Soon they came through a large door to find themselves in a gigantic room that was about more than a football field large. This room contained large pipes that connected out of the walls and back, and catwalks that were wide as seven feet, that seemed to stand above a floor of water.

  "Wow, this place is huge!" Joe said in awe.

The school girl rolled her eyes. "It's just some water pump room or something. It's nothing to go all crazy about." Giselle strolled to the front of the group, next to Joe at the edge of the catwalk. "Although, this place seems way too large for us to hide from those things."

  "The pipes?"

If it wasn't for her self-control, Giselle would've decked Joe. "The Digimon! I can't believe even stupidity comes with your low class trainer skills!"

It seemed to the young boy that he was about to cry. "Y…You don't mean that, do you?"

The girl gave no answer as she leaned over the rail and tried to keep her face calm. Soon, Persiamon picked Giselle off the rail.

  "Come on, Giselle; let's not make any more trouble. Sides, you'll fall off."

The group continued ahead through the long catwalk, but Suzy spotted the young lad standing all gloom on the corner near the dark entrance. Tears dripped deep down on the water.

  "I thought…we were friends…she said…we were friends…~sob~"

The breeder crouched down to his height and patted his shoulder. "I'm sure she didn't mean that."

  "Yes she did…~sniff~…she used to say all those back when I used to go to the Pokemon Tech."

  "Used to? Then why are you still wearing their uniforms? I thought you were supposed to return those when you leave."

  "Well…I forgot to…plus…I haven't seen Giselle since I left, and when I heard…she was in town…I don't know…~sniff~…I wanted to look nice for her, and my uniform was the only good outfit I have."

(Flashback)

Within the Pokemon-World version of New York, a group of uniform wearing students with the appearance of a lot of money trailed the sidewalks of one of the town's bust streets, mostly in front of a three story Pokemon Center. Behind a window of the center, like at the third floor, a boy with brown, puffy hair seemed to have woken up and towards the window to get a forecast of the weather. 

  "~Gasp~"

Until his heart practically skipped at least three beats when he saw something, as to what he called: the ghost of his past.

A beautiful girl with dark brown hair, a red tissue over the collar of a gray vest, a white t-shirt, and a black flowing short skirt lead the pack of students that the boy's eyes immediately recognized.

  "It can't…be…" the boy's veins flooded with blood and his lungs pumped harder than ever.

  "G...Giselle…?"  

  "Okay, class, you all know this field trip is about searching for the new Pokemon that appeared from Houen. Also, despite what the news said, also be on the lookout for the unknown Pokemon as well."

  "News? If they remembered what they were talking about." The class laughed at one the students joke. Yes, for some reason, when the media told about the strange Pokemon, they either repeat the same news like it was brand new, or they just forgot about it.

  "Yeah…okay, you know what the board said. This assignment goes 15% towards your grade, so don't mess up!"^-^

And so, the class when their separate ways, maybe in the city or mostly in the city park that was at the foot of the outer areas of the city. Giselle wandered through a grassy path that crossed between a wall of trees and bushes. She carefully scanned the area, not letting any glimpse of a new Pokemon get by her senses.

Suddenly, rustle in the bushes was heard. Perhaps a new Pokemon. Giselle quickly drew a poke-ball from her satchel and stood in a pose to set the poke-ball to active mode.

What popped out was a Pokemon, but it a circular insect Pokemon with the appearance of a ladybug. "Nuts…just a Ladyba." She muttered, relaxing her stance as the bug Pokemon flew away.

But then, more rustles were heard in another pack of bushes behind her. Giselle twist around, back in her guard stance. An arm crawled out, and pulling the rest of the body came…

  "AHh…OOF…ouch."

Just a geeky boy tripping on his face…wait, this one is wearing the school uniform. Giselle relaxed, thinking that it was just one of the students. But when the boy lifted his head up, she found the face not part of her group…yet…very familiar.

  "I don't think you're in my class. How dare you wear the school's proud uniform?"

Well this was a great start, he thought sarcastically. It hurts when someone you miss dearly completely forgets your existents, but maybe he'll try to jog her memory.

  "Um…uh…Giselle…" the child stood himself up, pressing his lips as his cheeks heated up. Looking down at his shoes, the boy twiddled his fingers around "Um…I'm not sure you remember me…but I used to go…t-t-to the Pokemon Tech with you."

Giselle locked her brown eyes on the scared little boy that seemed a year younger than her. She scanned the familiar stranger to see if she can jog her memory of this wimpy little boy. He's probably lying, and he must have either stolen that uniform or counterfeited just to perversely get to her. But…now after identifying this boy, she remembered one kid who was the lowest ranking student and then a couple of his amateur friends gave her the very first defeat. And this she remembered after that.

  "Hey, Giselle, maybe we'll meet someday in the Pokemon League?"

  "I hope so. I'll try my hardest to be a worthy opponent when we do."

  "Alright if I keep your picture?"

  "Sure, I keep pictures of my friends too."

  "Huh? You have mine?"

  "We're friends now, right?"

Like doors letting in the light after years of being locked, Giselle finally remembered. A wide smile spread open without the boy even noticing.

  "J-Joe?"

A weight was lifted as Joe slowly raised his eyes towards the school girl. But before he knew it, the high ranked student of the exclusive prep school in the world, who practically has no time with a commoner, leaps forward and throws herself on the drop-out boy, giving him a hard hug.

  "Joe! Oh my god, I can't believe it's you! This is such a surprise!"

Now at this moment, Joe lost all his ability to move his body parts. He felt his body warming up so much, he can melt right there. But somehow he found the strength the gingerly wrap his arms around the girl's waist.

But how disappointed he was when Giselle separated herself from him? Very. "I haven't seen you for so long! How've you been?"

The former student though noticed the goofy smile he made and wiped it off. "Uh…just…fine…I was heading over to the Johto area so I can catch a boat for the Houen League. But, it's great to see you again. How you doing?"

  "Just fine. The class is here to catch the new Houen Pokemon that somehow came here. We're also gonna try to catch those mysterious ones. You know the one with the robot dinosaur that battled a Charizard?"  

He goofily shook his head with a wide smile. All that didn't mattered cause standing before him was the girl he dreams about every night. The girl whose smile can make his dark emotions vanish, which she's doing right now. The girl…

Suddenly, a loud thud was heard, surprising the two to twist around. It turned out to be a tall, humanoid cat creature with an Arabian look, including with the cheetah pants. This creature snapped a look at the kids, with the signs of a predator.

  "W-w-what is that?" Joe stuttered as he went pale.

Being the confident sport she is, Giselle pushed Joe out of the way and drew a poke-ball. "I'll tell you what: Its mine! GO…MAROWAK!!"

Tossing the ball away at the field, a small, and prehistoric like creature with a skull like face and a bone staff armed was released. Marowak twirled the bone like a skilled martial artiest to intimidate the tall creature, but the cat beast was not fazed by the taunts as it drooled like a hungry mountain lion.

  "Get it, Marowak! Use Bomerang!"

The ground type Pokemon tossed the bone, making it soar and twirl over to the feline beast. But with lightening reflexes, the creature swatted the bone to a stop and kicked it with such aim at Marowak's head.

  "MARO!!"

Joe shot out near Giselle with a poke-ball in hand. "I'll help, Giselle!"

  "Huh? No, you're not getting in my…!"

  "GO WEEPINBELL!!" tossing the ball by the ground Pokemon, the bell shaped plant appeared, ready for battle.

The school girl, however, arched her brow at the grass type. "You still haven't evolved that Pokemon?"

  "I couldn't find a leaf stone. You know how much those things cost? Never mind…Weepinbell, use Razor Leaf!"   

The bell shaped Pokemon bounced away toward the tall feline. It span like a top and launched a pair of sharp edged leafs. But somehow, the human cat dashed forth with the force of her dash blowing away the leaves.

  "VINE WHIP!"

Following its trainer's command, Weepinbell whipped out a vine from the top of its head, but the catwoman grabbed the vine and reeled Weepinbell to her. Soon the creature treated the poor Pokemon like a lasso, twirling it around above her head.

  "Hmm…I know I heard it on that TV I saw back in human building, what was it…?" she spoke which drove the trainer's jaws open and their mouths dry. "Oh yeah…! YEEE HA!!! GET ALONG LIL DOGGIES!!" she then made some kind of Indian call, or some tongue cheer in a Mexican accent.

  "I…it…it…talked!" Joe lifelessly nodded in agreement who still haven't let this shock sink in. Giselle, trying to keep her reputation as a powerful trainer, shook the shock. "Uh…Marowak, Leer!"

The ground Pokemon shot a deadly glare with a blue sparkles at the dancing creature, but to its surprise, because the cat covered her eyes with some pink Arabian silk, it failed.

  "Nuh, ah! Some jerk kind of yours did that to me already. It ain't gonna work twice." She mocked the little Pokemon by dancing around in the vine lasso she twirled around, rotating her hips and motioning her arms in a hypnotic jester.

  "Okay, Marowak, Bonemerang!" but for some reason, Marowak didn't respond. "Marowak!" suddenly, Marowak played a zombie dance which Giselle then got the clue that the cat's dance was hypnotizing it.

The catwoman looked as if she just found out she was dancing in that Arabic style, so she stopped with a red face. "Opps! Sorry, I always dance without me knowing it when I get excited." The sudden politeness faded when Marowak snapped out of its trance. "Okay, back to the butt whooping!"

  "Marowak, Bonemerang!"

Right after the bone Pokemon tossed its bone, the cat creature grinned. "Heh ehe. Here's another thing I seen on TV." Suddenly, she now treated Weepinbell like a nunchuck, twirling it around with martial art skills. The head of the grass Pokemon swatted the bone like light and then the cat monster flung the vine, trapping Marowak in a tangle. "Ally…OOP!!"

Now Marowak was caught in the fun and the catwoman twirled the two around and slammed them on the dirt a number of times.

  "Marowak!" Giselle had so much rage build up, so she released it at the nearest thing. "This is all your fault!"

Blaming Joe who felt his heart cracking this instant. "My fault?"

  "If you would've just returned your weak Weepinbell, none of this wouldn't happen!"

While the argument began with a few even moves, well actually Giselle was dominating, the cat woman rolled her eyes as she finally stopped the spin cycle for the two Pokemon.

  "So this is what you were doing, Persiamon." Said a red wizard person who appeared behind her out of thin air.

  "Eh, well you said that we could use some humans to help us catch IvyRosemon. I guess these two weirdos will do."

  "Hmm…would you do the honors?"

  "Gladly." Persiamon whipped the vine, with Weepinbell and Marowak as the weight, wrapping Giselle and Joe together. The two nearly had their lips together if it wasn't for their foreheads to perform a unpleasant stop.

  "Ow…uh…hi…can I say I'm sorry?" Joe sheepishly asked.

  "Don't talk to me."

(End flashback)      

  "And she still treats me like I'm so weak, after all this time we…haven't seen each other." After rubbing his nose, he took out a picture of Giselle. The same one he kept since he dropped-out of Poke-Tech. He stared at it as his face still was soaked in tears. "I thought she liked me."

Of course being an older being that kids may look up to and hope for advice, Suzy was about to try to cheer the boy up…

  "Suzy! Joe!"

When they heard Mimi's screams for help. They spotted their friends down the cat walk, where they were halted by a group of red octopuses that had some what a pirate appearance and they were all the same size as Joe. It seemed that these creatures came out of the water and were crawling on the pipes and walls, even the catwalks too.

Octomon: Mollusk Digimon. These Digimon a perhaps aquatic collectors; gathering any interesting material they find under the sea. Beware, these Digimon are very possessive.

Type: Virus

Stage: Champion

Level: 25

Attacks: Ink Gun, Insincerity

After stuffing her poke-dex in her pocket, Suzy grabbed Joe's arm and rushed towards the others, but then two more Octomons leaped out of the water and blocked their path.

  "They're popping up everywhere!" Joe stated.

Already on guard, Suzy set a poke-ball in active mode. "We'll have to fight our way through! GO…SKIPLOOM!!" slamming the ball, the flower head Pokemon appeared with a cheerful smile. "Skiploom, use Sweet Scent!"

  "Skip!" the green Pokemon shook its flower on its head to spread a gust of pink pollen. When it engulfed the Digimon, they suddenly felt relaxed; too relaxed to do anything.

  "Now Headbutt!"

BAM! Using its circular body to its advantage, Skiploom launched like a cannonball and slammed the two Digimon off the catwalk and splash in the water.

  "Hurry, before they jump out!" she said, getting Joe to follow Suzy.

  "POISON IVY!!!"

Palmon lashed out her vines to trap an Octomon and throw it in the water. Giselle was about to throw in her Marowak, but a hand of Persiamon's stopped her.

  "Don't bother! I'll clear the runway!"

With that, a dash made a strong gust that fluttered everyone's clothes. The Ultimate Digimon clean house as she kicked, punched the Octomons in the water, while saying a few 'Excuse mes' 'Pardon' 'Move it, buster' 'I'm walking here!'. With a clear path showing the way to the next room, Giselle took the opportunity to run after Persiamon.

Joe and Suzy caught up with Mimi and the others, but the boy then spotted his friend leaving them behind.

  "Hey, Giselle, wait!" he rushed after her until two more Octomons leap out of the water and blocked him. "Oh boy…" feeling vulnerable, he pulled out a poke-ball. "Go…WEEPINBELL! Use your Razor Leaf!"

Soaring towards the Digimon, the Octomon fired their ink guns, but Weepinbell reflected the ink shots by spinning and shooting a barrage of razor leafs. The octopuses' bodies were pierced in pain by the blades as they scream in agony.

Using the opportunity, Suzy tossed her D-Sphere and captured the Octomons, one by one. "Alright, I got em. Joe, FlaWizardmon, follow Giselle and Persiamon. We'll handle these Digimon!"

Just as he was about to nod, a lone Octomon leaped out of the water for the Armor Digimon. "Begone! MAGIC IGNITION!!" From his staff, which looks like a large match, he launched a sparkling fireball that then exploded near the flying water Digimon back to the water. "Understood, Suzy-kun! Let's be off, Joe-kun!"

After dashing off, Joe nervously nodded and followed. With them gone, that leaves Suzy and Mimi alone against the squad of Octomons. Course they have Palmon, Skiploom…

  "GO…XATU!!"

…and the totem looking bird, Xatu to protect them.

  "You ready, Mimi?"

  "To teach these Digimon the means of ruining designer clothes?" she angrily asked as she looked at her season 2 outfit ruined with ink. "I'm ready!"

Rolling her eyes, Suzy shot back at the Octomons that were climbing on the rails. "Okay, then…Xatu, use you….eck….ehhh…"

Mimi looked down with concern at Suzy who looked like she was suffering a severe headache. "Suzy, what's wrong?"

The green haired girl clutched her head as her face strained with pain. "No…leave me alone….leave me alone!!"

  "Fraud…"

  "What…are you…talking about?"

  "Con artist…"

Mimi then bends down and shook her friend's shoulders. "Suzy, come on, snap out of it! You're giving me the hibee jebees!"

   "Please…get out of…my head!"

   "Liar…"

Route 43: 8:44 PM

  "Tai…?"

  "Tai…?"

  "Taichi, wake up."

  "Leave me alone….five more minutes."

  "~giggle~…Wake up there, Taichi."

It was such an angelic voice; so soft and smoothing that it can heal any pain that clouds your heart. A sight awakens; revealing to a large lake under the midnight moon. The dark blue waters shined and sparkled like diamonds that reflected the midnight light.

  "Taichi…?"

The teen boy softly gasped under his breath when a gentle touch was felt on his chin. It guided, delicately, over to the right, leading to a pair of ember eyes that was like cool sparkling pools of lava.

  "You're so cute when you sleep."

His eyes drew through that soft, pleasuring voice to pink, smooth lips that gently spread to a smile; a smile Tai feels so warm by.

It was that when her gentle fingers touched his cheek, and then pressed her hand to it with such delicate care. Tai's face felt as if he was he gone under the blazing sun. No matter how much he didn't want to or not, his eyes were completely drawn to the eyes of Sora Takenouchi. Before he knew it, his arms held her curved waist, and wrapped it tight.

So close to his eyes, so near in his dreams was an angel that stared lovingly at Tai. It was such a glorious beauty to behold; so amazing that Tai needs that beauty by him. He felt so alive, so complete by Sora.

  "Beautiful…" he breathed softly for her ears to hear.

He gingerly grabbed her cheeks and softly rubbed them with his thumbs. She felt a soft moan by his love, showing how much she enjoyed his soft touch. Her eyes narrowed softly with so much beauty that Tai can not bear to resist. His heart beat with such speed that made Tai breathed heavenly. He couldn't let this go by. He couldn't let this gentle angel slip by him like before. He needed Sora.

  "…I love you." With that whisper flown by, Tai pressed his lips against hers and kissed with all the passion and love that wanted to give to Sora for so many years.

  "RRAH?!"

  "Huh?" now his vision became black…perhaps because he had his eyes closed. But why is it now that Sora feels like she grown a beard, and where did that dog sound come from? As his vision became clear, his skin turned blue and his throat was clouded in mucus when he saw a furry dog that almost looked like a tiger too close in front of him; so close close, they were practically kissing.

  Oh god…

  "Man, anyone got any pain killers? My back hurts like hell!"

Around in where there was a large smoky crater that scared the forest, Davis, Hiro, Kuzaimon, and May Oak sat on a log, drinking some tea thanks to the Mahogany police, who came when they heard an explosion that caused the crater. Kuzaimon, being a half Pokemon and Digimon, had to lie to the police that she was a girl in costume, which wasn't pretty uncommon. Lots of trainers love to go around in goofy costumes.

Just then, Lance returned to the gang after talking with Officer Jenny. "Well, I convinced the police that we had nothing to do with the blast and said that we were chased by the mysterious Pokemon."

  "Mysterious Pokemon? Dude, we nearly got crushed to kibble by a Digimon!" Davis stated.

The trainer of New Bark Town narrowed his eyes. "It was a lie, Davis!"

  "I knew that…sure hope Veemon and Agumon is safe hiding in the bushes."

  "Not to worry; I have my Dragonite to keep an eye on them."

However, someone was being impatient. Yes, the Ultimate Pokemon, Kuzaimon was fueling with anger as she crushed her mug to pieces. "Hello? What about my Ash?! Huh? He's lost somewhere out there and I know that he's alive!"

  "Calm down." May Oak politely warned. "I'm sure the police will find him."

  "Actually…" all eyes were on the dragon trainer. "I didn't tell the police that we had another member."

  "WHAT?!!!" ignoring the bruises, Kuzaimon shot up to her feet, surging with green energy.

Lance held out his palms in defense. "I didn't want the authorities to ask any more questions that concerns the Digimon; plus, we would endanger their lives if we let them search for Ash."

  "From what? From what it looks, SkullGreymon bit the big one."

  "Perhaps, Davis, but there might be dangerous Digimon out there that the police are not experiences enough to handle."

  "Oh yeah."

  "Don't we still have to deal with Team Rocket?" Hiro asked. "They might Digivolve a Pokemon worse than MetalGyaramon if we don't do something."

  "That is why I want you and Davis to come with me to find them. When Tai comes to, he, May and Kuzaimon will search for Ash."

The grass Pokemon plopped down on her seat. "~groan~…if he doesn't wake up, I'll…!"

 "GAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" suddenly, they spotted Tai running by like he was being chased. The teen dived on a bush and from what it looks like, he threw up.

Hiro arched his eyebrows as Officer Jenny came by. "What just happened?"

  "Um…hopefully he was trying to perform CPR on my Growlith, otherwise I'm gonna have to question him."

A slight face of disgust crossed the boy's mind. "I'm not even gonna think about it." Shrugging, he continued to sip his tea.  

Abandoned Water Plant: 10:02 PM

Meanwhile Joe, formerly of the Poke Tech, and FlaWizardmon climbed on some zig-zag stairs that led to a door that had light shining out.

  "Hmm…I believe that is the entrance where we will do battle with our enemy, Joe-kun! We must keep our spirits up and avoid dark emotions once we reach to our destination."

  "Yeah…~gasp~…but…won't these stairs stop being so long?"

On the other side of that door, Persiamon and Giselle skid for a stop when they spotted the group of targets. They seemed to be three stories high above where they can see IvyRosemon. She was standing on a platform above a giant tank of strange chemicals. She had wires connected to her body, and from there the wires were connected to grass type Pokemon that were trapped inside of cages around the tank. A group of Veggiemons walked on the catwalks that circled the room and dumped perfume bottles in the tank.

  "Ugh…that stuff stinks!" Persiamon said, holding her nose.

Giselle did the same. "It's the perfumes. Why are they dumping them in that tank?"

  "Must be part of turning the human city into an urban jungle."

  "Uh, urban jungle is…never mind." Giselle leaned over the rail to get a better look.

Down on the villainous site, IvyRosemon secured the wires in her body, which it used suction cups to attach her skin. Just then, a lone Veggiemon dumped a box full of perfumes.

  "Excuse me, mistress. Tell me again what the use of the human perfume is."

The Mega Digimon clawed her fingers in impatient anger, but breathed to calm down. "Why?"

  "Well this is the next scene and the readers don't know much about your plan. That's what a villain is supposed to do; explain the evil plan."

  "Evil? There's nothing evil…okay there is. Fine, minion…as you know, I will use these Digimon rejects' nature energy to alter the plant life around the human city. Using this large gunk of chemical stuff below, I will direct the energy in the tank, thereby the water will flow through under the city and the powerful reaction will go through the pipes, and into the roots of the plants, causing them to grow through the city in uncontrollable rate; a control that only I will control. With the perfume, the smell will carry the energies to do the same to plants that the humans carry as decoration. There, does that sum it up for you?"

Noticing the Veggiemon fully asleep, she did an anime drop.

  "GET UP YOU LAZY WEED!!" she snapped her whip, forcing Veggiemon to wake up.

  "OW! Sorry, my mistress, but…couldn't you just suck up the Pokemon's power, fly over the city and spray the stuff from the sky?"

  "………..GET THE HELL OUT, TRASH!!"

WHAP! With that, IvyRosemon whip the weed Digimon hard to a wall, where he pealed off and dropped like a rock.

  "Hold it, right there!"

In cliché timing, like after when the villain explains the evil plan, Persiamon, with Giselle on her back, dropped down on a lower catwalk, across away from IvyRosemon.

  "Ah, Persiamon. What excellent timing, dearly. And you brought your disgusting Tamer."

  "DISGUSTING?!" Giselle would've leaped for the Mega if it wasn't for Persiamon.

  "She's not my Tamer. She's a friend."

  "Your…friend? Honey, you've always embarrassed yourself, but this takes the cake. Ordered by a human? That's total betrayal to the sovereign right there!"

  "Grrr…I don't care! You've gone too far and it's about to stop!"

The Mega made tisk sound as she waved her finger. "Oh the old days…always resorting to violence, you. Of course my power is greater than before and it can crush you like…" an evil smile crossed her face. "…your little toy, Whiskers."

As if like she heard sad music, Persiamon's lips trembled, humorously, and she dropped to her knees and cried. "Waaaaaaaa! Whiskers! Waaaaaaa!!"

  "Whiskers?" Giselle asked. "Your stuffed toy kitty?"

   "No, something a ToyAgumon gave to me…my toy stuffed…elephaaaaaant! Waaaaaaa!!!"

It wasn't the sight of crying in a crisis Giselle finds weird and stupid, no…it was naming a toy elephant a cat name. With that, she awkwardly turned to IvyRosemon. "This was your rival?"

  "I'm embarrassed to say yes…okay, work time, people! VEGGIEMON!!!"

From out of nowhere, a pack of Veggiemons tackled Persiamon off the catwalk like wolves over its prey. Two more landed near Giselle and she took the action to run down the stairs. Down where it was partly dark from the shadows of the catwalk, Persiamon was caught of the web of the Veggiemon as they grip around her body. She struggled to break free, but to no avail.

  "Let…me…go….you…..eh?" however there was something she felt that was pretty unsettling…very unpleasing yet a bit pleasing…but in a place where man are not allowed to go to without permission…yes….one Veggiemon had its grassy paw on her breast.

  "PER~VEERRRRRTS!!!!!!!"

Right as Giselle made it down the floor; a Veggiemon nearly hit her as it flew like a cannonball. One by one, the Veggiemons shot in different directions by the pile of Veggiemons. The pile grew numberless letting Giselle see Persiamon slamming her fist and feet at the little weed Digimon. With that done, Persiamon breathed heavenly for air and wiped off the dust from her paws.

  "Pigs!"  

Soon, FlaWizardmon dropped down with Joe on his back. "Persiamon. Giselle-chan. IvyRosemon is unleashing her plot at this moment! We must hurry!"

  "Okay, keep you flaming hat on, pal. We'll stop…" Persiamon trailed off when she spotted more Veggiemons blocking the way up to the stairs. "Jeez, where IvyRosemon get these guys?"

  "POISON IVY!!"

Finally, the last one of the Octomons were defeated in knocked unconscious in the water thanks to Palmon, and the two Pokemon who had no help from their trainer. Mimi helped Suzy up who just awoken from her episode.

  "About time. What was wrong with you, Suzy?" asked Palmon. 

  "I…I don't know…there were these…voices."

Mimi would be the type to think that Suzy's gone insane, but after being around Digimon, she can probably believe anything. Plus she was told that Kari suffered strange voices as well.

  "Come on, we better catch up with the others. Can you stand, Suzy?"

She hung her head, but she slowly stood perfectly. "Yeah…I'm fine…"

But as they rushed off to the battlefield, high above on the ceiling a dark cloth that seemed like a cape flows almost in our view before leaving away.

  "Say, Persiamon, couldn't you use that dance thing?" Joe asked as he and the gang backed away from the Veggiemon.

  "What dance?"

  "Well you said that there's this dance that can de-Digivolve Digimon."

  "Oh that. I'm not very good at it, and I really don't like to use it. The least I can do is get it to work on Champion levels."

FlaWizardmon narrowed his eyes at her. "And what are these? We can't waste out energies on these cretins and time's against us."

  "Oh alright…but…just don't look at me funny!"

  "I have perfect control. No need to worry."

  "Okay…let me borrow your music box thing, Giselle." The school girl handed the Dicsman and Persiamon placed it on her. For some reason, Persiamon's face grew red as she approached forward near the Veggiemon.

  "Hey, why's Persiamon afraid to do this dance?" asked Joe.

  "Well…"

At that moment Persiamon performed some rhythmic steps like a dancer in a dance club. How ever she did some smooth twists with her hips before moving her paws gingerly on her upper legs. The moves she did were somewhat an Arabic style, and very hypnotic and irresistible to the Veggiemons, for this was not just a dance…no…

It was seductive.

The Champion Digimon's jaws hung open and their tongues hung out, drooling uncontrollably. They either fainted or made cat whistles. Even FlaWizardmon had trouble trying to look away for that not only that he has respect for Persiamon, but the dance will affect him too. Even though it doesn't work on humans, it sure did some work on Joe, who was red as a tomato, as his eyes shot clearly and wide.

  "HEY!!!" with that, Giselle slapped her palm over his eyes.

Spinning very angelically and gracefully, she stopped while waving her arm. "VAMPIRE DANCE!!" soon, a wave vibrated the area like heat waves and caused the Veggiemon to revert back to their In-Training form.

  "Is it over?"

  "Yes." Answered Giselle.

FlaWizardmon removed his hat from his eyes. "Yes…~ahem~…as you can see…the Vampire Dance is…irresistible." 

  "Wait, its' over?" Joe asked as his sight was returned. "But I wanted to see it."

SMACK!!

Soon Joe was one the floor, with a red hand mark on his face. Giselle wiped her hands as she glared at Persiamon. "Hey, Persiamon…? Never-do-that…again!"

  "With pleasure."

Back on the tank, the stolen grass Pokemon grunted in pain as the wires sucked their energies. When the power flowed into IvyRosemon, she was coated in flaming green energy that flared like fire.

  "Gahahah! Oh yes! Such glorious power!! Oh how good it feels!"

  "IvyRosemon!"  

Snapping her sight ahead of her, she spotted Persiamon and FlaWizardmon leaping up on the catwalk with Joe and Giselle climbing on the stairs.

  "Oh, you never cease to amaze me, darling. But I'm afraid that times change. I tire of racing to Digivolve further than you. You can't even reach the Mega level and I already accomplished part of my dream as a Mega."

The cat's eyes blinked. "You never told me the rest of your dreams…other than your own kingdom. Come on, we used to be best friends."

  "As I said: Times change, doll. Now witness a taste of my power!" she then pulled out a cage from under the controls. It was a cage with a little Pokemon trapped inside.   

  "That's a Treecko!" Giselle pointed out.

  "How observant. But you humans aren't the only ones who can Digivolve a Digimon…er Pokemon in this case."

FlaWizardmon gripped his staff. "What? Impossible! Only the sovereigns have such power other than Tamers and DigiDestined!"

  "They told you wrong! GAHAHAHA!!!" with that, the green fire around her grew larger and brighter.

  "Stop this now! MAGIC IGNITION!!" the blast he shot out was intercepted by the powerful green flames that coated the Mega. "My attack has been neutralized!"

  "We saw that, Mr. Obvious! Jeez!" Persiamon shouted, rolling her eyes.

The little green Pokemon was incased in the same power which its pressure broke apart the cage. It floated from IvyRosemon's hands and its body was out of sight from the light.

  "TREECKO SHINKA….!" From there it green into a tall lizard creature with grass that resembled as wings from its arms. It also had a long grass from its head like long hair. "GROVYLE!!"

A pleasant smile drew on IvyRosemon. "Hmm…cute…but not cute enough…MORE DAMN YOU!! DIGIVOLVE MORE!!"

The gang covered their eyes from the light that lit the room in green. Even when Mimi, Suzy and Palmon came they had to do they same.

  "NO!" FlaWizardmon shouted. As much as he tried to jump in there, the power was too great. So he protected his eyes with his goggles. "Forcing Digivolution is highly dangerous to tamper!"

  "GROVYLE SHINKA…!!" It grew larger to maybe about over six feet. It gained a dragon appearance and its tail looked like a large pine branch. "SCEPTILE!!"

A scowl on her opened jaw came, followed by disgust expressions. "Ewww…my god…this can not be…you better turn into some good! YOU BETTER!! DIGIVOLVE!!!"  

IvyRosemon drew out so much power that it was hurting the Pokemon that was absorbed from, and the force of the energy fluttered the gang's clothes.

  "SCEPTILE SHINKA…!!"

Its body toned up to a muscular human feature in a Sceptile appearance. Its head was some what shaped like a lizard mask with no eyes, but its chin was human like and white. It has long, green-blue hair, which is actually grass. Like we said, its body is like a human shaped version of Sceptile but it wore some kind of a skirt like Tarzan made out of leaves, but the back part was longer, and waved around like it's a tail.

  "YLANGTILEMON!!"

(A/N: Ylang is a plant grown in the Philippians.)

Even though her eyes are covered under that black flower hat, IvyRosemon slowly unshed them to witness her surprise. Before her that floated in the green fire stood a tall, gecko like man in attractive features that made the Mega Digimon woman weak from her knees. Her body felt so heated up that she can melt right where she stands.

  "Oh god…" she gasped, gingerly touching her lips as she heavenly breathed. "This is…so a dream…"

The intense light dimmed enough for all eyes to open. High on the top catwalk, Palmon nearly fell over if it wasn't for her vines as she gazed and drooled at the evolved Pokemon.

  "Whoa! Cutie!"

Rolling her eyes, Suzy scanned the Digivolved Pokemon.

Ylangtilemon: Jungle Fairy Pokemon. The evolved form of Sceptile. This Tarzan of the jungle flies around, guarding the jungle from any who opposes it.

Type: grass, flying

Stage: Ultimate

Level: 60

Digimon attacks: Gaia Staff, Gaia's Revenge

Back down near the tank, even Persiamon was seeing the light as she locked her eyes on the tall lean Pokemon.

  "Oh wowie! What a babe!"

Removing his goggles, FlaWizardmon sighed in annoyance. "Mind the mission, Persiamon. For all we know, that enhanced Pokemon may be a danger for us."

Sparkles still danced in the cat's eyes. "Oh a danger alright! MMmmmm!"^-^

  "Persia!"

Finally, as the green energy died down, Ylangtilemon dropped to the platform with IvyRosemon. The dark grass Digimon grinned at the kneeled Pokemon. "Finally, a suitable king. You will do very nicely for me, indeed."

As the green grass man stood, he quietly kept his face away from her.

  "A silent type, eh? You will have no choice but to do whatever I say, none the less!" but Ylangtilemon still ignored. "You ungrateful troll! I gave you power and this is the thanks you give me?"

Not taking anymore of the Ultimate Pokemon's rude actions, IvyRosemon lashed out her thorn whip and gave him harsh hits that made Ylangtilemon grunt on pain.

  "You…!"

WHAP!

  "…obey…!"

WHAP!

  "…ME!!"

WHAP!  

  "That's enough!" FlaWizardmon, Persiamon, and the two kids shouted.

Finally, the lean Pokemon raised his bruised body up to its feet, but something was wrong. It was know coated in dark blue energy. If he had eyes, Ylangtilemon's would be glowing with the energy.

  "Its one of her abilities. IvyRosemon has him under her control!" FlaWizardmon stated.

The cat Digimon had enough. She cracked her knuckles and extracted her claws out. "That's it! I don't think that stuff is cool, and you're going down for good!" After standing on her toes, Persiamon launched over the vat and gunned down for her old rival.

  "GAIA STAFF!!"

But before she knew it, a stick thrust on her belly hard and slammed her far back to where she fought the Veggiemon. Giselle and Joe quickly ran down stairs for Persiamon's aid as FlaWizardmon took a stance to fend the Ultimate off.

  "FIRE CLOUD!!" From his palms, he sprayed hot fire steam at the flying grass man and leaped back before Ylangtilemon can crash into the catwalk.

  "Persiamon, are you alright?" Giselle asked as she motioned to help the cat Digimon off pipe covered pillar.

But Persiamon swatted the girl's arm. "He punched me in the stomach…he punched me in the stomach."

  "Uh…?"

Suddenly, it was like Persiamon towered over twenty feet in a stormy sky. "NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE HARMS MY STOMACH!!!!!"

Giselle's brown eyes narrowed. "Why, cause of your belly dances?"

  "NO…!" when Ylangtilemon landed further away from the Ultimate, Persiamon took a fighting stance. "…Cause that's where I keep my food!"

An Anime drop was made by Giselle.

  "COMING THROUGH!!!"

Up in the sky…no it's not a bird, no it's not a plane, no it's not Superman…its none other than a falling Palmon glowing in white light.

 (Digivolution)

"PALMON DIGIVOLVE TOOO….TOGEMON!!"

Taking the place of the little flower Digimon, Togemon slammed into the steel floor and quickly lashed for the human plant Pokemon.

  "LIGHT SPEED JABBING!! The cactus Digimon rapidly threw a number of jabs; jabs that Ylangtilemon blocked with his palms.

  "MEGA PUNCH!!" The attack, which was a powerful charged punch, not only missed the swift Ylangtilemon, but it really caught Giselle's interest.

Then the Digivolved Pokemon slid back to a safe distance and drew out a long staff made out of bark wood and clear layers that held glowing green glu.

  "GAIA'S REVENGE!!"

Ylangtilemon slammed the tip of his staff and pierced through the steel floor. Suddenly after a quick vibration of the earth, towers of tree trunks erupted from the steel floor, tossing Togemon off her feet. (A/N: Think of the Wood Tower in Megaman Battle Network.)

  "Vulpix, use Flamethrower!"

Turning around, he spotted a red six tailed fox leaping off the pipes and blowing a wave of fire in his face. Ylangtilemon quickly leaped away after feeling the burn and swatted the agile Pokemon with his Gaia Staff. But thanks to Vulpix's quick reflexes, she was able to maneuver away the attacks with ease and then answer back with another Flamethrower.

Screaming from the pain, Ylangtilemon leaped up in the air, and to the gang's surprise, shiny green metal wings quickly sprout from his back, enabling the Digivolved Pokemon to hover above the danger.

  "GAIA'S REVENGE!!"

He tossed his staff as hard as a bolt would go on the earth. Once again, after it pierced the steel floor, a wave of rising tree logs that carried the monsters away from the floor. Giselle panic and feared that she would get ripped apart by the raging trunks. Not knowing what to do, she held on to the nearest thing she could think of: Joe.

Though the boy would be blushing madly, a moment of rampaging trees erupting from the floors was not the time to think about future love plans. "Just stay close, Giselle! We'll be okay!"

As Ylangtilemon dealt with the trainers and Mimi, IvyRosemon re-gathered the green flames around her to begin her plan. She plants her palms on some panels in the control box and poured the energy into them, leading the aura in the vat of chemicals below.

  "Yes! Yes! It is nearly done! Veggiemon, prepare to drain the Eco Gunk to the pipes, now!"

FlaWizardmon picked himself up after getting thrown by the attack. But behind the tower of wood, he can see green light shining. Curious, he leaped on top of a wood trunk and hopped on one to another till he was on the tallest one to see the chemicals draining.

  "No, her plan is unleashing! I must end this!" Leaning forward, he pushed himself with his feet and soared toward the female Digimon. "MAGIC…!"

POW!! Out of nowhere, Ylangtilemon batted the wizard with his staff and flung him far through a window.

IvyRosemon laughed under her breath in satisfaction of her new minion's work. "Excellent work…very excellent indeed." She said, staring down at interesting sights. "Ylangtilemon, take five; I want to speak to you, privately. Veggiemon, the army of your kind to deal with those brats until I finish important matters with Ylangtilemon."

With that, IvyRosemon and Ylangtilemon flew off through a sunroof and disappeared into the night. While playing around with the controls, the two Veggiemons arched a brow at each other.

  "Important matters, huh?"

  "Oh I'm surrrrrre it is. Heheheh."

Back outside, Joe rushed over to FlaWizardmon who lay on a small crater he made from his crash. Behind the boy, the others, minus Persiamon, followed the boy.

  "FlaWizardmon, are you okay?"

  "I am fine." He simply said, pulling himself up. "We must hurry. IvyRosemon already dumped the Eco Liquid in the sewer systems."

Suzy gasped. "Then it might be too late!"

  "Not really!" just then, the group saw Persiamon perched up on a wood tower like a true cat. When she leaped towards them, she dragged along a Veggiemon who had a device. "I've some work making this joker talk. He said that gunk IvyRosemon drained is very gooey and flows slower than water. He also said that there's a lever thingy down the road that can stop the gunk and this gadget he has can keep in touch of where the gunk is flowing."

FlaWizardmon took the terminal off the Digimon's hands. "Brilliant, Persia! Brilliant you are!"

  "Oh you just noticed that, now?" she smirked as she tossed the Veggiemon away to a far distance.

  "It would seem luck is on our side, but it'll be a matter of time before that liquid takes effect on the human city!"

The breeder held on to the terminal. "Okay, Mimi and I will stop that gunk. You guys…!"

But then, as the earth shook violently, the towers of wood tumbles apart thanks to a thanks to the army of Veggiemons, charging forth, cutting away the trees.

  "Deal with them, okay?" Suzy shouted as she and Mimi, with Togemon, ran off to race against the chemicals below.

Rubbing her claws against each other like swords, Persiamon evilly grinned. "This won't take long!"

  Amazing…is this a dream…? Such strange creatures in this world…heh, heh…yeah, this must be a dream.

The forest looked so peaceful, even coated above golden light from the sunset. A pair of feet stepped with many steps on a dirt road. Lips pressed firmly on a pair of fingers, like with fear and worry.

  Where am I?

Meanwhile, Mimi, Suzy, and Togemon hurried with all their energy down the forest to race against the chemicals underground that was roaring towards the city. Suzy took the lead as she checked the terminal device that Persiamon stole from a Veggiemon.

  "We're about a good distance away from chemicals! The switch to stop the chemicals should be a couple of yards from here!"

  "I'm just wondering…shouldn't these trees go all freaky with that ooze?" asked Mimi, still trying to keep up.

  "Maybe the pipes are strong enough to contain the chemical reaction, but not the ones under the city!"

Togemon, who was two seconds behind the girls, kept her pace. "Boy, this seems a little too easy! Shouldn't some crazy psycho of IvyRosemon should try to stop us?"

  "Togemon, don't jinx it for…!"

  "GAAAHHH!!" but then Suzy tumbled off her feet and clutched her head in agony.

  "Was it something I said?" Togemon muttered.

Mimi kneeled down and gently shook her friend's shoulders. "Suzy! Suzy! What's wrong with you?"

  "No…I'm…not a…fraud! Leave me alone!"

  "I didn't say you were a fraud."

  "Yes, but we did!"

The DigiDestined jumped to her feet in surprise and nervously scanned the area. "Hello? Who's there?"

  "Behind you!"

Feeling cold in her bones, Mimi twist around and spotted a pair of large eyes gazing at her. "GAAAHHH!!!"

 With a ghostly laugh, the eyes zoomed back next to a strange shaped creature. It had a jello head with no eyes but its mouth was within a shiny mask that captured every reflection like a mirror. It also had a ninja style ponytail that tied its orange petals. Its body was just like its head, only with no mouth and it was long and skinny, shaped like a water drop. Below it was thick orange petals that was worn like a skirt, and beneath it were no legs; only a smoky stream like the creature was a genie or some sort. This monster had no arms except floating large hands with orange palms, and on its palms were eyes implanted in them.

  "Oh my god! It's creepy!" Mimi shrieked as Togemon readied herself to defend her partner. "Is that a Digimon?"

  "I never seen that Digimon, Mimi…but I think I seen that skirt from somewhere."

Feeling a little better, Suzy lifted her upper body up and studied the floating creature. She too also recognized the skirt. "It looks like…Vileplume petals!" like light, Suzy snapped up her poke-dex.

Psylumemon: Mind Flower Pokemon. The evolved form of Vileplume. At night, it loves to hide in the darkness, under its petals, and scare those lost in the woods. Using its large eyes, it can look into minds and use a person's thoughts to frighten its prey.

Type: psychic, grass

Stage: Ultimate

Level: 60

Digimon Attacks: Vision Chaos, Mental Confusion

  "It is a Pokemon!" Suzy stated, putting away her poke-dex. "But…does this mean Pokemon can evolve to their Ultimate stages on their own?"

  "I don't know. You should know…" creeping out from behind a tree, a girl around Suzy's age, wearing a white dress with a long red skirt, and jet black hair evilly smiled at the girls while gazing them with dark eyes.  "After all, you've probably been in this fiasco since the beginning."

Togemon blinked at this surprising stranger. "Hey…have I seen you before? You look like…"

Suzy and Mimi shot up in cold shock. "ERICA?!!"

Yes, the gym leader chuckled wickedly while sweeping her hair away from her eyes. "Yes. Surprising, isn't it?"

  "I…I don't understand!" Suzy said, uneasily.

  "Well funny story. See while you two fought that plant hussy, I found this in one of mall gardens." From her pocket, she pulled out a poke-ball, but when she set it in active mode, the ball was, not only black, but the center had high-tech designs, like it was a Digivice.

Suzy pulled out her D-Sphere and compared the two. "You…you have a D-Sphere?"

  "She does! But why black? EW!" Mimi spat, sticking out her tongue. "Black? Wait…that's…that's the black poke-ball Izzy talked about!"

Suzy gasped, eyeing Erica with eyes of disbelief. She couldn't believe her best friend has a black D-Sphere. And if what Izzy said was true, then that device could have corrupted her. Did it? The breeder preyed that it didn't.

  "That must mean you're the one who ruined the park! Why?" Mimi shouted.

  "Simple…" with a flip of her hair, she shrugged. "Just to capture those you call Digimon, with a little help with my new Pokemon, Psylumemon. Strange, she evolved to this creature after I found this black poke-ball."

She didn't want to believe it, but it looks like that evil device is controlling Erica's mind. It's oblivious the black poke-balls enhances a persons dark emotions and intensions, and even though Erica was a big believer in empathy, she was a bit of a money grubber and a sucker for perfumes.

  "Erica, you got to get rid of that D-Sphere! It's corrupting your mind!"

Under her shaded face, Erica gazed at her friend. "Corrupt? Funny…you're the one to talk."

  "Huh…what do you mean?"

Flashing a wicked smile, Erica paced behind her Digivolved Pokemon. "My my…how the guilty lives in denial? You should know that life flows with those with corrupt minds. Team Rocket is one oblivious example, and believe it or not, those Officer Jennys are lazy good for nothing hussies that probably lie in their traffic reports just for extra pay." The woman paused for dramatic effect.

  "I remember seeing you in the papers with that boy, Ash Satoshi Ketchum. Yes, he did saved my Gloom from a fire, but despite that, he is a poor blinded fool, unwise to the harshness of life, and only flowing with the stereotypes of his world. It's written all over his face."

  "What does Ash have to do with this?" Mimi asked, scratching her hair.

  "Actually, this involves his friend. That perverted boy…Takeshi…um, Brock."

Through her stunned face, Suzy grimed. "What about him?"

  "I seem to remember that you gave away Vulpix, correct?" hearing the name, Vulpix escaped out of her poke-ball and glared at Erica's Pokemon. "Ah, speak of the devil. The little Pokemon you gave away."

  "Gave away?" she gazed down at her Pokemon who was still glaring at the opposing Pokemon with battle eyes.

  "As in 'ridding the bloody thing'!" this angered the fox Digimon as its eyes fueled with fire. "Oh yes, giving away a Pokemon who doesn't like to be handed off by commoners. Even for a famous and sensational breeder, such as yourself, handling Vulpix is a large hassle."

  "But then out of the blue, Takeshi came in your store and asked to be your pupil, which you refused. But then you thought, why not use their resources to put your competition out of business: Salon Rocket."

  "Salon Rocket?" Mimi repeated in question. "That sounds like those weirdoes we met yesterday."

Erica smirked with vileness. "Team Rocket. Yes their attentions were slimy and yes they did almost killed my Pokemon, but then again, you're the slime, Suzy!"

So many thoughts, so many question scrambled in the breeder's head. Why did she call her a slime?

  "After that, you voluntary stepped out of the industry to increase your legend, making you look like a hero. Course you made an excuse that it was just to 'become a better fashion expert. And to top it off, you gave away Vulpix to Takeshi cause he seems to take care of her better than you.'"

What a joke, Mimi thought. Obliviously the black D-Sphere also effect Erica's jealously over Suzy, and making up lies to throw the two off. But looking at her green haired friend, why were these lies affecting her so deeply?

  "Then years later, you captured two Pokemon to replace your prized Pokemon, but they couldn't compare to Vulpix, even for the Pokemon beauty contest. Then out of all the luck, as if God was on your side, Takeshi bumped into you. Using the opportunity after he probably perfected your Vulpix to high standards that even you can't succeed, you used Vulpix in the contest and had Takeshi help you do all the things you only pretend to know."

It was like nobody was home in Suzy. The breeder's eyes were full of darkness as she fell into a bottomless pit of confusion and little along the way: guilt. All that Erica said couldn't be true…couldn't it? Maybe she is and she didn't know it….

  "You witch!" Mimi shouted in anger. "How would you know about her? You maybe her best friend but I bet your saying this cause you're jealous! You weren't even there at the beauty contest! How would you know?"

The gym leader, with eyes so dark, cackled. "That answer is obvious, air-head."

Psylumemon's head glowed in blue light. "Who do you think was giving your friend a migraine?"

Mimi may not be a genius like Izzy, but even she got the idea that Psylumemon was reading Suzy's thoughts.

Chuckling, Erica flipped her hair. "Face it, air-head; your friend is the biggest con artiest in fashion since Donnatella Versace."

There was no way this was true. Ever since Mimi met Suzy, she's was pretty much an honest woman who's personally almost matches to Sora's; meaning she doesn't wear make up, she's not into fancy clothes, and all she ever talks about is inner beauty, something that Mimi sometimes ignores. But still, why is this effecting Suzy? Does she actually believe this garbage…? Does it mean that what Erica said was true?

  "Suzy…?"

  "Mimi!" Togemon called as she pointed the terminal that lied next to Suzy. "That gunk…it's almost close to the city!"

She knows that they have to stop that gooey stuff, but the news about Suzy's life kept her feet from going further. Mimi just doesn't know what to think of Suzy…or if she could believe Erica's words. They could be lies, but then again she did peak into the breeder's head, those words brought the girl to a mind struggle. Does that mean…?

  "Mimi…" Suzy muttered who was on her knees in grief. "Just go without me…Erica's my problem."

  "Suzy you can't…"

  "JUST GO!" she roared, tossing the device to the spooked girl.

  "Well since you put it that way…!" Togemon shouted as she tailed Mimi to stop the chemicals.

After Mimi ran a distance past Erica, the corrupt gym leader lazily looked over her shoulder, grinning at the DigiDestined and her cactus Digimon. "You know, Suzy…an Eco Metropolis does intrigue me."     

Though she was in the case of breaking down, Suzy raised and squeezed her brows. "What do you mean by that?"

Smiling with evil, Erica tossed a poke-ball up in the air. What popped out of the device was something Suzy wasn't expecting. It looked like a blue blowfish, but it had muscular arms with red gloves. "You…Pukumon is it? Yes, go deal with the pink haired ditz." Cackling with joy, Pukumon launched like a rocket to where Mimi ran off.      

  "Y…you would let so many people…die?"

Her evil but satisfied smile faded to an angry frown. "Like how they let thousands and thousands of poor plants die! This is but a warning to what happens when you defy nature, and you know that you can't fight nature…" Erica then flashed a large smile, showing her white teeth. "…or it'll just bite back."

Even though she was confused of these thoughts about being a fraud, Suzy was enraged of Erica's betrayal, despite being controlled by that dark D-Sphere. Pokemon, like Vulpix can sense their trainer's emotions and sometimes reflect back on them, and the fire fox was about to demonstrate that by attacking the gym leader.

  "VUULLL!!"

A soft but wicked smile sounded under Erica's breath as she watched the fire type charge at her. "Well, aren't you cute? Psylumemon?"

The abnormal Pokemon flashed its floating hands open, letting the eyes on its palms open. As it did, yellow light formed in it pupil and directed the energy to each of its fingertips. "VISION CHAOS!!" It released the energy from its fingers, shooting ten thin beams directly at Vulpix.

  "VULLLL!!"

At the tallest tower in the water plant, on the balcony sat a relaxed and happy IvyRosemon. Her nerves were, for now, so eased, so calm. She felt so at peace that she wished she can feel this way forever…but then again, that'll lose the fun of it.

  "Ivy!" But then Persiamon leaped from below and perched on the metal rails. "Let's go! No chickening out this time!"

Like she figured, they already dealt with the Veggiemon. But what do IvyRosemon care?  "~sigh~…leave me alone. Can't you see I'm savoring my happiness?"

  "Crushing a human city to their death just for your dreams is something to be happy? You little ****!!"

  "Even if it weren't meant to be, I've already gotten what I want."

Clueless, the catwoman scratched her head. "Uh…that hunky gecko guy?"

  "Yeeeeah…something like that." IvyRosemon uneasily said.

  "Wha…?" with large eyes, she stared at the Mega's with shock. "Um…okay, I don't think this is the fic to discuss that!"

  "Indeed." Snapping her fingers, Ylangtilemon instantly lunged out the door of IvyRosemon's room and tackled Persiamon off the balcony. "Cheers!"

The two warriors rocketed down, where Persiamon can see the floor gaining very quickly. "This is my stop!" she swatted away Ylangtilemon's grip and sunk her claws through the tower wall to stop her fall. It took a few feet down to fully stop, but after that, Persiamon spot below the Digivolved Pokemon swooped up in the sky with his wings. The cat Digimon lowered her joints, preparing to act as the flying grass type charges for her.

  "MAGIC IGNITION!!" But then a fireball blew Ylangtilemon off course, forcing him to fly away to recover. To her surprise, FlaWizardmon was already floating next to her. "GAH! Jeez! Don't sneak up on me like that!"

  "Persiamon, quit yakking and go after IvyRosemon!"

  "That's what I was gonna do! Duh!" instantly, her anger for the plant Digimon fueled her as she climbed up the tower with thundering speed. When IvyRosemon hung her head over the rail to watch the fight, she got plowed straight in the chin by Persiamon as the force of her dash blew a cloud of smoke and ripped apart the rails.

  "GAIA'S STAFF!!" Another swing of the wooden staff that FlaWizardmon jumped away from.

Meanwhile, on top of a long steel wall, which the rooftop seemed more like a bridge, Giselle and Joe hurried up the stairs where on top they can see FlaWizardmon fighting the humanoid gecko afar. Judging by Giselle, the fire Digimon was overpowered by this evolved Pokemon. Every attack the wizard threw always either misses or gets reflected by Ylangtilemon's staff.

  "GO…MAROWAK!!" she tossed her poke-ball as hard as she could, releasing the ground-type Pokemon to battle.

Joe blinked at Giselle's choice. "Giselle, ground types are weak against grass types."

  "Marowak is on a very high level, unlike your Weepinbell."

  "Why do you keep insulting my trainer skills? I worked hard to get better since the Poke Tech."

  "Didn't help much in your first round of the Indigo League."

  "WHAT? YOU SAW MY MATCH?!"

The bone type Pokemon raced over to the Digivolved Pokemon with its bone club in hand. Its trainer eyed at the battle, studying the opponent for her next move. "Marowak, Leer!"

The Pokemon shot a deadly glare with sparks of blue light from its eyes, but quickly, Ylangtilemon turned away and shot to the air. With a quick second, the grass type tossed the staff down, blowing Marowak off its feet when the staff pierced the floor.

  "I'll show you, Giselle!" Joe shouted with a poke-ball in hand. "WEEPINBELL, USE VINE WHIP!!"

After freed from its poke-ball, Weepinbell lashed out a brown vine up on the sky. Though Ylangtilemon tired to use his speed and agility to dodge the vine as it moves around like a running hose with a mind of its own, the Vine Whip attack is very handy against speedy Pokemon, and it proved it yet again by wrapping around the super Pokemon's staff.

But Ylangtilemon proved just how powerful a Digivovled Pokemon can be by reeling the bell shaped Pokemon high to him in the sky. As the grass type was up to his point of view, Ylangtilemon swung a scissor kick and smashing Weepinbell to rocket hard to the floor.

  "Weepinbell, no!"

  "MAGIC IGNITION!!"

A white fireball caught Ylangtilemon's attention when it flew past him. His eyes, if it has any to show, where now focused on the floating wizard that met with him in the night sky. FlaWizardmon fired a number of fireballs from his match staff, which as usual, Ylangtilemon maneuvered around them. But to his surprise, Ylangtilemon phased by the wizard and batted him hard down to the floor. The two trainers watched with fright as FlaWizardmon flew and crashed in another tower further away.

  "AH, FLAWIZARDMON!!" Joe cried.

This was crucial, thought Giselle as she gazed at the power flying Digimon with sweet down her head. Giselle could use her other Pokemon, other than Marowak who made sure Ylangtilemon won't near his trainer, but this creature's strength proved devastating. And looking at the sky, she can see that Persiamon was too busy with IvyRosemon who were fighting at the sky with a rapid number of punches and kick. Not only that, she doesn't want Joe to mess things up…and hurt himself.

  "Come on Togemon, you gotta get rid of that creepy fish!"

  "I'm…trying…but it isn't easy as you think!"

Meanwhile, Mimi and Togemon made to the wheel valve where they have to turn it to stop the Eco Liquid, but the problem is, not only that Mimi can't turn the valve with her limit strength, but Pukumon was making it difficult for them.

  "NEEDLE SPRAY!!"

Unfortunately, as Pukumon rocketed towards his foe, crossing his arms before his face, the needles bounced off his skin before Pukumon plowed into Togemon's gut like a cannonball. 

  "Give me…a break!" Togemon growled as she tried to life back to her feet. "Just cause…you're a Mega…doesn't…"

  "BRISTEN PUNCH!!"

POW!! Before Mimi knew it, Togemon flew another twelve feet away from where she crashed to.

  "No, Togemon! You gotta help me here!" she cried as Mimi tried to turn the valve.

  "Gahaha! She won't be going anywhere, human! Mistress Erica will earn a flower kingdom after she dispossess of the one responsible for creating a world for her! And more sushi for me! Gahahah!" with that, Pukumon went back to pounding the daylights out of Togemon.

Mimi's arms shook as she checked the terminal. The gunk was already out of the forest and is on the field where she is, on the edge of a sewer moat that crosses between the forest and the city of Celadon.

  Oh no, that gunk is getting closer…!

  "NEEDLE SQUALL!!" Using his own needle attack from the top of his head, Togemon suffered the pain of the needle storm.

  …Togemon can't win against this guy…!

Mimi tried yet again to twist the valve, but it still won't budge.

  …I can't move this stupid thing…

Visions of Suzy enduring the torture of Erica and her Pokemon, Psylumemon played in her head.

  …And Suzy's back there probably in trouble. What about Suzy? She's a con artiest and she lied to us…what if the reason she helped us was because she wanted to make up for those mistakes…? No! I don't care what Suzy is! She's a kind hearted person and she's risking her life to help us! She even turned down that guy, Zack or whatever his name's offer just to help us. She's still a good friend…

Togemon's Light Speed Jabbing couldn't get though of Pukumon's arms that used them to defend. After swatting her fist, he delivered a devastating blow to the face that send Togemon flying.

  "NO…TOGEMOOOON!!!!!"

As if she lost her voice, Mimi trailed off when she noticed a familiar green glow from her chest.

  Yes…give him trouble, Togemon!

(Digivolution)

  "TOGEMON DIGIVOLVE TOOOO….LILYMON!!"

To remind you people, when the DigiDestined got to the Poke-World, something was draining their Digi-Core power; obviously the work of Daemon. Izzy suggested that the gang need to re-discover their crest again since Tai demonstrated it earlier.

Mimi smiled as she felt her crest of sincerity fully restored once again, just like four…er five years ago when they battled the Dark Masters. Pukumon was aghast when he saw a little nature fairy in a pink dress take the place of Togemon.

Lilymon gave a sweet smile and a wink. "Hey, sushi face…I'm back…FLOWER CANNON!!" celebrating her return for after a few hours (Sure felt like years.) she launched a powerful solar blast from the cannon that from in her hands, but she pouted after Pukumon easily dodged the attack.

  "Hurry up, Lilymon! That icky gunk is almost here!" Mimi cried as she tried to turn the valve.

  "Not to worry, Mimi, I got a plan! SUNNY DAY!!" she raised her hands high, summon an orb of solar light. The bright light stopped Pukumon in his tracks and forced him to shield his eyes. The mini sun hovered away from Lilymon's hands and positioned in a higher spot to make the night time seem like the day.

  "Okay…" Mimi mumbled, shielding her eyes too. "I don't see what this will do."

Lilymon shook her head with a smile, disappointed to know that Mimi ignored Suzy's crash course on TMs. Luckily, Lilymon's plan was not done yet. Yes, my friends; this cute little Digimon has a plan so crafty, so ingenious, and so devilishly intricate in it's simplicities that it defines plausibility to the minds of females… 

  "Yoo hoo, Pukumon!" she sang. The fish Digimon felt his nerves shot tensed, staring at Lilymon who trailed her fingers gingerly on her chest to her lips as her arm rested on her head. With a pose that defines an act of modeling, Lilymon slowly blinked her sparking eyes with her lids that had smooth eye lashes. "Hi…" 

Yes my friends…her third TM: Attract       

Demonstrating man's behaviors for the female, Pukumon hung his tongue and breathed like a dog. Like an old Looney Tune cartoon, Pukumon howled like a wolf, banging his head with a frying pan he got from nowhere.

  "Aw, don't hurt yourself for little ol me…" she cooed as her flower hat harnessed solar energy. "Allow me…SOLARBEAM!!!!"

BLAM!!! With a powerful beam of energy that would probably do the DBZ fighters proud, at least Krillin, Pukumon screamed in agony as he was caught in the beam. Hearing the cry die away, it was clear that Pukumon was destroyed, so Lilymon stopped the beam.

  "Woo! I sure hope there's no return policies on these TMs cause I love em!" she cheered as she danced on the sky.

  "Lilymon! Get over here and help me!"

  "Coming!" ^-^

Back at the water plant, Persiamon landed on a large antenna before leaping away from a flower petal beam that tore up that antenna. The Ultimate soared angrily at the hovering Mega who phased away and came up elbowing the cat on the spine. Like cat, Persiamon stopped her fall by landing on her feet on another tower.

  "HELTER SKELTER!!"

Crossing her arms, she fired a black blast after spreading her arms, but IvyRosemon countered with the Black Roses beam, colliding in a large explosion. Without hesitation, IvyRosemon hurtled through the smoke and delivered a roundhouse kick that made Persiamon crash to another tower, thirty feet away.

  "You're starting to bore me, honey!" IvyRosemon sneered. "You're getting old."

  "OLD?!!!" the window she crashed in blew away before Persiamon stormed out of the tower. "COME HERE AND SAY THAT! HELTER SKELTER!!!"   

  "Vulpix, use Flamethrower!"

The little fire type blew a stream of flames at its foe, but the Digivolved Pokemon, Psylumemon, moved around with rapid teleportation, it was impossible for the fox Pokemon to hit. Flashing a hand towards Vulpix with an eye opened on its palm, it shot five more white beams from its fingers which the fox Pokemon took the beams full on and was shoved through the dirt. Amazingly, Vulpix survived, but she was in pain.

An evil smile crossed Erica's face. "May that Vulpix is trained well, and what is it to these Digimon? The Rookie stage? You must be proud, old friend…no…that's not right…"

Suzy grimed, eying at what Erica was about to say.

  "…I forgot…someone else trained the poor thing. My, you never change, Suzy; taking the credit of someone else's hard work."

It was as if Suzy's pride too a deep sink. She couldn't let Erica's words distract her, but…

Warning!

Suddenly, Suzy's ears heard the voice from her green D-Sphere.

Digivolution energy charged for one Champion Digivolution. Possible subject in play: Vulpix. Begin Digivolution?

Did it have to ask? "Vulpix, Digivolve now!" she raised the ball just before it shined with white energy.

Feeling new power flow to her veins, Vulpix leaped high into the air.

  "VULPIX SHINKA…!" the little fox's body grew a couple of feet long, its snout also grew a few inches, the curls in her hair and tail were gone and straightened, and three new tails grew with the six. In addition, its red-brown fur turned to a shiny coating of vanilla white. "NINETAILS!!"

(A/N: Bet you loved that didn't you Ninetalesuk? Didn't you? Didn't you? We asked you a question…! Yeah…thought so.)

SMACK

(A/N: Ow…jeez Terra.)

But such abnormal scenes didn't please the grass gym leader. "Mmm…such a waste, Suzy. Psylumemon, please deal with this furry rat."

Dancing around like a wiggly hula dancer toys you keep in the car, Psylumemon shot ten more beams from its fingers.

  "Quick Attack, Ninetails!"

Using her speedy offensive attack, Ninetails maneuvered around the hurtling beams and tackled straight on the strange plant's gut. The fox leaped over behind Psylumemon as the half Digimon-Pokemon spun in a cycle from the attack. As it gained control, it smiled, showing its eyes on its hands and laughed with an echoed tone you hear in those ghost movies.

  "Amusing, mammal. Try again? MENTAL CONFUSION!!!"

The area within Ninetails' vision became wobbly, and clouded with swirls of purple clouds. The fox felt dizzy, but she tried to contain her panic state, but she couldn't tell where Psylumemon is. Is it at the right….no, it's at 11 o clock….no above….no its straight ahead, laughing at her.

  "Shall we get back to basics, Psylumemon?" Erica asked.

  "Indeed."

  "Very well, Bullet Seed."

Psylumemon aimed its fingers and clicked them like they were guns. Each of them fired seeds like machine guns, forcing Ninetails to take direct and painful hits.

Suzy felt her confidents drained away quickly, as she bit her knuckles. What is gonna do…? How is she gonna win this…without any help?    

  "Come on! Let me help you!"

  "I said no, Joe!"

Marowak felt like a kid being caught in the middle of bullies' fun when Ylangtilemon kept flying away from the ground type tried to catch him in an attack. The Digivolved Pokemon didn't even have to hit the little Pokemon, he just swung his staff and the force of the swing blew Marowak away and made it tumble back.

The young boy had enough and shoved Giselle away, gently, and prepared to stand as a trainer. "Weepinbell, get in there and use Sleep Powder!"

  "JOE!"

The bell grass Pokemon bounced past the woozy Marowak, and made a hard jump to the fairy Pokemon. From its mouth, it spat a blue powder at Ylangtilemon, but the man-grass Pokemon twirled his staff like a fan and blew the powder back at Weepinbell, putting it to sleep.

  "Weepinbell, get up!"

  "GAIA STAFF!!"

The Digivolved Pokemon of Treeko not only thrust his staff on the floor, but it extended in green light. Once it pierced the floor, the shockwave it created cut through the steel bridge like butter and plowed away the two Pokemon to make way at the children of the Pokemon Tech.

  "GET DOWN!!" Giselle screamed, diving at Joe away from the shockwave.

As a result, the surface of the bridge was shredded with smoke rising from the middle of the scar. Giselle pushed herself up from the floor, breathing heavenly she did.

  "I said to back off! You're too inexperienced for this!"

  "Inexperienced? Giselle, I traveled around Kanto and earned eight badges. I may not have won, but at least I made to the Pokemon League. That at least means something…" a thought finally kicked in his head. "How come you're still in the Pokemon Tech?"

  "Uh…"

Though both Marowak and Weepinbell were in a lot of pain, they pushed their bodies to protect their trainers as Ylangtilemon hovered his way towards the two creatures. He spoke no words, but this silent super Pokemon didn't have to say that he was gonna slam his staff again to finish them off.

  "MAGIC IGNITION!!"

But suddenly a white fireball blew on Ylangtilemon's side and forced his concentration away. Without hesitation, FlaWizardmon tackled the super Pokemon and kept shoving back the the grass creature.

  Come on, children. Time grows short!

Giselle watched with eyes of concern at the battle between of the Armor leveled Digimon and the Ultimate leveled Pokemon. Her heart beat with fear when Ylangtilemon swung another devastating force that shoved away FlaWizardmon. That blast also nearly reached Giselle and Joe, and that really scared the young female. But there was nowhere to run, the shockwave crunched the floor behind them to a barricade where they can't escape, and Marowak and Weepinbell only had the energy to watch the fight. Thoughts flowed in her head, like, what is she doing here, is she crazy. But importantly…why is Joe here where he can get hurt?

The tan haired boy didn't have the candy apples in his head to figure this one out. Maybe she was freaked out; maybe someone hit her on the head when he wasn't looking. But the snotty girl of Pokemon Tech stood before him, shielding him from the crossfires of the fight.

  "Giselle?"  Here, as Giselle turned to him, was something he thought of seeing. Before his eyes, Giselle was breaking down into tears.

  "I didn't know…how to get you to stay out of this…but when I saw you battle…I was worried…but maybe I've should've been more confident with you…~sniff~."

Joe was speechless; with blinking eyes, his mouth was empty of words.

  "Remember…after when those three kids left the school…before you left? We hung out…but…all those times…you made me feel like I was special; not like those other guys who treated me like I was a queen…it gets boring after a while, and you showed me that."

  "Huh…you…?"

  "As for the Pokemon Tech…yeah, I made to the league…but I lost in the first round…and since then, I was confused to what to do next…I thought maybe I take a few years back in the school…my future was killing me…and what was worse was when you left…I didn't feel like myself since then…"

Nobody was home in Joe's little head. He thought that Giselle forgotten about him, but what next will blow Joe's mind.

   "I…I don't want you to get hurt…I…I missed you."

Were his ears deceiving him again when she said that? Were his eyes tricking when Giselle, right now, is hugging him? Were his feelings beneath his skin swindling him when he felt her tears drip on his shoulders? Was the corner of his cheeks misleading him when he felt her lips touch his face?  Is this a dream?

He doesn't know, but he sure as hell he ain't waking up!

Like a top of a volcano or a cartoon character's head bursting with steam, the children's bags burst white light out of the hole. Awakening from their lovely moment, Giselle and Joe reached into their bags, cautiously, and pulled out white glowing orbs, which quickly dimmed from its light to reveal two silver poke-balls with some kind of a techno lock in the place of the button. On the center of this lock was a green screen. (A/N: Hey, that rhymed.)

  "Giselle…this looks like that poke-ball Suzy has!"

After that dialogue, the strange poke-ball vibrated like mad in Joe's hand, and the light burst from the coating. At the same time and when Joe noticed this next moment, Weepinbell rose like it was caught on an invisible geyser and it was coated in the same light.

  "WEEPINBELL SHINKA…!!" spinning out of control, it quickly popped into a different shape; a taller bell plant, but it stood upside down, and it had the looks of a Venus-flytrap. "VICTREEBELL!!"

Giselle's jaw dropped at this impossible experience. Though her mind questioned how Joe's Pokemon evolved without a leaf stone, but quickly figured it was that poke-ball, she smiled.

  "Hey Joe…I think we have the same poke-balls as Suzy! What did she call them again?"

  "I think its D-Sphere."

But snapping out of this magical moment, their worries came back when they saw FlaWizardmon pinned down on the neck by Ylangtilemon's staff. But because of the possession of the D-Sphere, Joe's confidents boiled up to the roof, yet he did not know, his confidents were flowing into Giselle, letting her feel the warm energy that relaxed her heart.

But looking at each other's eyes, they found their hands locked together with each other. Did humiliation force them to let go? No! Did fear of rejection succeed? No! Hatred? No! They smiled with eyes softly locked, letting their hands hold tighter.

  "I'm not gonna get hurt…as long as you're here, Giselle."

(Girls' note, minus Rika: Awwwwwww!)

(Mallory: Was that a sigh I heard, Rika?)

(Rika: (blushing) What? NO!)

If Digivolution or that gushing moment wasn't enough how about both their D-Sphere, simultaneously shining like the sun, and shaking uncontrollably. Giselle and Joe couldn't control the devices; they kept forcing their hands to rise up and bring the glowing D-Sphere together into one, with the light shining so bright, it engulfed even Ylangtilemon and FlaWizardmon. Speechless and perplexed Giselle and Joe are, they watched, as their D-Spheres were still stuck together, Marowak and Victreebell hover over the floor and bathed in white light.

(Play: Going digital.)

  "MAROWAK…!"

  "VICTREBELL…!"

  "JOGRESS SHINKA…!!"

They spun rapidly as they collided together to form…a weird rocky creature with a bony head like Marowak, only it looked like those skulls you see in desserts, but it had two long leafs on its head worn straight down like hair. Its body was bulky, but like a brown rock with scars on its chest, and its waist looks as if it wasn't completely connected to its upper body. This creature seems so much like Shurimon, you know, the samurai of sincerity. Why? Cause it too had springy arms, but it also had spring green vine legs too, and they held triple bladed shrukens made out of bones, like something from the prehistoric ages. To add this weird set up, it had some kind of a rat tail with a tiny bell shaped flower wrapped on it.      

  "EOLITREEMON!!"

If they had the thought to close their jaws, they could, but right now they can't cause what they just witness was an astonishing sight since a Slowpoke can morph into Slowbro with the help of a Shellder. Since that none of them won't be able to use a poke-dex, allow me.

Eolitreemon: Fossil plant Pokemon. The combined form of Marowak and Victreebell. Prehistoric around in the past area. This Pokemon travels on valleys by bouncing. It can jump almost as high as the Grand Canyon. Its blades can scar even steel. This Pokemon can be heard by the flower bell on its tail, as a warning of its approach.

Type: grass, ground

Stage: Ultimate

Stage: 67

Digimon Attacks: Bone Blader, Hurricane Slicer

Ylangtilemon took more of a battle stance on the air, after releasing FlaWizardmon, knowing that this one will be quite a challenge. The fossil Pokemon eyed its trainers, waiting for their command.

  "Well…your call." It said with double voices, but the kids were too shocked to speak.

  "CHILDREN, now's the time!" FlaWizardmon shouted.

Now was defiantly the time to ask questions later…

  "Okay…" the two chorused together. "GO!!! SKULL BASH!!"

And kick some punk grass fairy butt!

Eolitreemon bounced like lightening, using Marowak's Skull Bash on the fairy's gut; the force of the attack even blown the dirt away. But super Pokemon were made of tough steel and plenty of steroids as Ylangtilemon recovered and kicked the dusty Pokemon off and flew high into the sky where it thinks it can't reach him.

Wrong!

As the poke-dex said, this fused Pokemon can leap over the tallest buildings in a single bound (Okay, I lied of it saying that.) and Eolitreemon proved it by springing away, meeting the flying grass Pokemon in the night sky.

  "VINE WHIP!" Joe shouted.

Since each of its arms and legs were clutched in bone blades, Eolitreemon tossed one up in the air and lashed its vine at its foe. Despite Ylangtilemon's attempts to escape the snaky vine's wrath, it still caught the flying Pokemon and reeled him in to receive a smash in the face with the top side of its other blade. Tossing away the trash, Eolitreemon caught its other blade with ease.

But being a stubborn Pokemon he is, Ylangtilemon's wings broke his fall and shot back up to take revenge on the fused Pokemon.

Meanwhile, Persiamon and IvyRosemon's battle still reigned supreme as they threw a number of kicks, scratches, and fists as they were still air-borne. But we all know in physics, and the old saying: What goes up must comes down, and since IvyRosemon can fly, Persiamon was the one who had to go down. But as a Digimon, her legs were made of tough steel and not even her feet broke to pieces when she landed in the battlefield of Ylangtilemon and Eolitreemon.

  "Hi guys!" she said cheerfully to the Pokemon Tech kids. "Whacha doing?"

  "Can't you see we're busy, Persia?" Giselle said, keeping her eyes on the sky like Joe is doing. "Use Bonemerang!"

Persiamon looked up at the aerial battle, and she gotta wonder: If that springy thing is their Pokemon, how can it hear them from way up there?

BAM!!!

Being so foolish, the cat Digimon let IvyRosemon stomp her flat when she dived like a comet. But her hatred for the plant witch was greater than the pain in her face and Persiamon tossed the Mega off and she leaped off the bridge after her.

  "BLACK ROSES!!"

Giselle gasped when she saw a black, petal covered beam blast Persiamon up in the sky and crashed on the bridge. She knew that she had her battle, but Persiamon is her friend. Giselle dug deep into her pockets and took out three tiny boxes.

  "Persiamon, crack these open!" she said, tossing the boxes to the hands that popped up from her smeared body.

Persiamon crushed the boxes and sparkling data flowed all around her body. After peeling herself off the messed up snow angel, she spotted her old time rival soar up from the side of the bridge, and fired another Black Rose. The blast harmfully blew a hole on the bridge, and Giselle and Joe had to shield themselves from the gusty smoke. IvyRosemon laughed fiendishly, celebrating the fact that her rival was defeated for good.

  "MEGA KICK!!!"

…Though her mind couldn't think of the idea that she was wrong since her head smashed into the bridge.

Yes, those boxes were TMs. After Giselle saw Togemon use Pokemon attacks, she used that idea to help Persiamon. One TM was Teleport, the other was Mega Kick, and the third…

Leaping off the crash site, Persiamon perched on the ruined rail, next to Giselle and Joe before she saw IvyRosemon's body bounce off the smoky patch, bruised and battered, yes. But did she show mercy? No! Persiamon's anger for her rival conquered her, and it controlled her anger by having her hands wave around to generate energy, and she held the charging orb back between her palms to perform…

  "HYPER…BEAAAM!!!!" A power blast of energy rammed IvyRosemon far about two blocks, and as she poured in the energy, IvyRosemon crashed into tower that had pipes around.

(End song)

Persiamon used so much power; the blast broke the tower in half, with the water it held freed from the pipes. As loud sounds of metal were heard roared into destruction, flashes of peaceful memories kicked in before Persiamon's eyes. Memories when they were friends in their In-Training and Rookie levels, before the ways of the Digital World corrupted them to strive in the survival of the fittest life.

  "IVYROSEMON!!!" she cried, leaping to her rescue…?

Yes, Giselle and Joe were confused of Persiamon's concern for the evil Digimon, but thoughts were thrown aside when Eolitreemon slammed back on the bridge, with Ylangtilemon hovered above him.

  "GAIA'S REVENGE!!!" Once again, Ylangtilemon threw his staff down and ripped the bridge apart when the tree trucks erupted from the floor. The kids would've been killed, if….

  "HURRICANE SLICER!!!"

…If it wasn't for Eolitreemon, who spun his blades like a top and chopped away the wood while FlaWizardmon used his Fire Cloud to shield the kids from the flying wood pieces so they won't poke their eyes out. (Sorry you had to see that, nature lovers.). After the job was done, the fused Pokemon leaped after Ylangtilemon.

  "BONE BLADER!!!"

But like the Double Star, he tossed its bone shrunken at Ylangtilemon, which missed. But heck, like us westerns, trainers and Pokemon can improvise. Eolitreemon guided the bone in a u-turn to wrap the fairy Pokemon within the vine. It swung the Pokemon in spin cycle before…BOOM! Slamming the creature back on the bridge, HARD. Landing in the smoky site, on the badly shaped bridge that was arched, at least away from the children, Eolithmon watched the Ultimate devolve back into an unconscious Treecko.

Finally it was over, so over it gotten into the kids skulls and they cheered for victory, leaping on each other for a hug.

  "WE DID IT! WE DID IT!! YEAH!!!!"

Not even asking Joe, Giselle grabbed his face and planted her lips on his.

Lucky he is; he didn't even use some dirty phrase to get the girl. Oh well. Enjoy, Joe.

Caught flying on the sky, FlaWizardmon watched the kids, and studied the computer screen below where the vat is, showing the flow of the liquid has stopped.

  "Well done, DigiDesinted, and to you, trainers…but I fear that Persiamon has discovered the price for this victory."

  "Ninetails, Fire Spin, now!"

FINALLY, we're back to the grand finale of this chapter. The evolved fox Pokemon launched a fiery twister of flames, catching Psylumemon in the inferno. BUT NOT FOR LONG, as the Utlimate made improvising use of its Digimon attack.

  "VISION CHAOS!!"  Instead of straight laser beams, the white lights circled around the Pokemon in a sphere and shoved away the fire for Psylumemon to come out a little scathed.

  "Pity, Suzy…" Erica sneered. "You'll never win with a Pokemon that's not even yours."

  "IT IS MINE!!" Suzy snapped.

  "Yes…keep telling yourself that, like you told yourself that you made most of your accomplishments 'by yourself'. Such a laugh. I've already proven that you're powerless without someone to be your arms. Just admit it!"

  "SUZY!!" Erica spread a wicked smile when she saw Mimi and Lilymon race back from stopping the chemicals.

  "My…are you lucky. Your victory ticket is here." This boiled the breeder's veins.

Lilymon fluttered by the battered Ninetails, aiming her cannon at the Ultimate. "Hey there, ugly! How about picking on someone your own type?"

  "Mimi, get her out of there!" Lilymon and Mimi looked back at Suzy with bafflement. "This is my battle, my problem!"

  "Suzy, don't listen to what this witch said…!"

  "MIMI! This is a Pokemon battle! Pull your Digimon out of there!"

She didn't like it; she fulfilled her wishes and motioned Lilymon to leave the two alone.

  "Well this is quite a shocker." Erica said, with eyes glowing with evil. "Since when did you become the independent wrench?"

  "SHUT UP! Ninetails, Confuse Ray!"

The Pokemon slouched down and grew her eyes to a purple glow, but fast as light Psylumemon fired its Vision Chaos beams again, slamming into Ninetails to bring her off her feet. But the brave trooper the fox Pokemon is struggled its weak legs up to a standing point, and once again Psylumemon took a cowardly way to blast the injured fox, and the poor Pokemon dropped like it was shot dead, which it was just got the wind knocked out of her.

  "Ninetails!" with defeat crawling around her, Suzy shamefully dropped to her knees, trying to reach up to her hurt Pokemon.

Erica laughed at this sight, enjoying every single moment of Suzy's pain. "Such a waste. You call yourself a breeder? It would've fought well if its true trainer was around in your place."

  "Suzy is its real trainer you witch!" Mimi shouted, with similar looks on Lilymon.   

  "Naïve little brat. The world is so full of them."

Forget the dark controlled trainer; Mimi knew that Suzy needed desperate support. "Come on, Suzy, don't listen to her! You're not what she said she is! You just need to give your Pokemon…"

  "DAMMIT MIMI, SHE'S RIGHT!!!"

Both Mimi and Lilymon flinched in bewilderment. "Huh?"

Suzy breathed, desperately from her cries.   "I…~sob~…I was raised spoiled…I never get much chances doing things independently…I've grown accustomed to it…and because of that, after being picked on a lot…it lowered by self-esteem…even making my way as a to become a breeder, my parents did most of the work…then when I became a breeder, I was on my own…I never had confidents in myself. Erica here had a struggling life, doing things that even pained her while I got it through easy…!

Did that feel familiar to Mimi? Oh yes…her life was so easy and sheltered. Suzy probably had no idea how accurate most of her story hit her life; a spoiled, almost dependent life.

  "…when I had Vulpix, I had trouble handling her, she was spoiled like me. I hired helpers in most of my competitions to breed her…and…I never thanked anyone for helping me…~sob~…I felt so rotten…~sob~…!"

Tears soaked the soil beneath her. Suzy uncontrollably cried her heart out as Mimi and Lilymon watched with astonishment and pity. Their friend never told her about herself, maybe she never did for anyone. Erica could've violated anime rule #0798 and gutted her down right now, but she was enjoying every moment of this, and silently gloating.       

But crying like a soap opera actor, memories of Vulpix came in, like the time when she first got her at the age of thirteen, how they entered in many beauty shows, wither they win, lost, or, dare I say it, weasel their way through, how their friendship build up, how something clicked in Suzy within those years.

  "…But…that was when something else I discovered…the beauty of within…to tell the truth, I sucked at perfecting outer beauty…" Mimi and Lilymon could feel tension flaring in Suzy as she slowly stood up. "…I found Vulpix suffering alone in a cold night when I met her in an alley…and to others eyes, she looked hideous…and even though I didn't know much about breeding the traditional way, I took care of her by myself, using my beliefs in inner beauty to help her. And cause of that I trusted no one with her, and she did too, since she took my spoiled side. Brock was the only one she felt so trusting! And I took the liberty to let her stay with him…and I didn't leave the job for what you said…I did so I can rid myself of my self-estem problem…and yes…it didn't help at the beauty show yesterday when I needed Brock's help…"

Once again, shame controlled her, temporally, but temporally.

  "I took down a good opportunity to help my friends protect the world! It's my way to pay back for everything and everyone that helped me in my so-called success! I will not be…A CON ARTEST!!"

(A/N: Man, that took so long…er…here it comes, Ninetalesuk.)

(Play Brave Heart)

Once again, like in Olivine City, her crest of sincerity she shared with Mimi shines with emerald light; the same light that bathed around the fallen Ninetales.

Digivolution energy at 67%...97%...134%...200%...automatic Digivolution for subject: Ninetails begin.  

(Digivolution)

  "NINETAILS SHINKA…!!"

Surrounded by the letters of its name in English, Japanese, etc, Ninetails ran across a dessert before leaping off with the flames swirling around her like snakes. Golden beams shaped as Japanese characters orbited around the fox as the flames mutated her body into human form. Her fur was shed off, but the magic of the flames transformed into a dazzling dress; meaning a top with long free flowing sleeves, and the split skirt had engravings of vanilla colored fox tails. The fire morphed into a shape of a chest-armor with reflection of fire on it and it was stamped on her chest. The fire also turned into flaming shin guard and was placed on her lower legs. On the face of this creature with short red hair and fox ears poking out, was a fade mask of a fox, made out of the mystic fire, looking much like the mask of Sakuyamon. But this isn't the creature of the moon; no, this was the flaming princess that strike a pose within the orbiting Japanese signs when a volcano erupted from the sand and her hovering on it within the gushing lava…

  "KITSUNAMON!!!"  

Blazing temperatures flared in the environment, making the sight so wiggly. It was so intense for the Ultimate plant it hovered back to safety. Flames rose strong, surrounding this dazzling woman of fire that stood mystically and powerful before Suzy.

Suzy was so astonished at this; she barely could check her poke-dex.

Kitsunamon: Fire Shaman Pokemon. The evolved form of Ninetails. This female of the inferno can be found in volcanoes, as to what legend says, guard the spirits of the volcano, or in the desserts, creating mirages to sway intruders from a mysterious power. In short, they are the guardians of the flaming spirits.

Type: fire, psychic

Stage: Ultimate

Level: 70

Digimon Attacks: Dancing Flare, Blaze Burst, Mirage Spell.

(A/N: Sorry, Ninetalesuk. I just came up with that attack)

  "You should be the one to talk, dark one." The shaman spoke with mature female tone with a slight echo. The flames fluttered her skirt and sleeves like the wind. "You, as of right now, are playing with power not of your own, and doing so you are hurting your very soul to death's hands. In short, you are trusting others, as in the darkness, to win your battles; something to low than what Suzy has suffered. I ask you to surrender the darkness and release your spirit of empathy!"

  "Empathy? You believed that trash? Ha! I don't have time for this! Once I deal with you all, I'll continue IvyRosemon's plan to create a nature kingdom, and take over it as my own!"

A smile crossed the fox woman. "Well…perhaps you should've disobeyed anime rule #0798 when you had the chance."

  "Shut up! Psylumemon, finish her off!"

  "As you wish! MENTAL CONFUSION!!!" Once again its hand eyes shined purple, throwing waves of psychic power.  

  "A gift from Takeshi…SUZY!!!"

As if she could read her mind, the breeder nodded. "LIGHT-SCREEN, NOW!!"

Right on time, a golden coating of light protected Kitsunamon's body, preventing the attacking from affecting her mind.

  "Couldn't you have done that without her call?"

  "Perhaps the darkness even clouded your Pokemon judgment, Psylumemon. Even though we are part Digimon, we are full blooded Pokemon, and as Pokemon it is dishonorable to attack without your trainer's command in a Pokemon battle. Did the darkness decreased you IQ, creature?"

Growling, Psylumemon charged ahead, pushing away some dust. "You talk too much!"

A soft chuckle sounded under her breath as Kitsunamon raised a hand that emitted intense heat. "Although the rules didn't apply anything about Digimon attacks. DANCING FLARE!!"

A storm of fireballs launched away, because not in a straight line they flew, it was hard for Psylumemon to dodge the flames as it felt the pain of the burn. Using whatever strength it could muster, Psylumemon teleported up in the sky to regain a breather.

  "It's up there, Kitsunamon!" Suzy stated.

  "I see, Suzy-san." Increasing the heat waves, surrounding her body, Kitsunamon soared to the after the Ultimate.

  "Go! Use Flamethrower!"

As if she blew a torch like you see in those Arabian shows, Kitsunamon blasted a stream of fire, but once again Psylumemon teleported away for every time Kitsunamon kept blowing away.

  "Petal Dance, now!" Erica shouted in a panic.

The plant Pokemon spun in a dance, showering a rain of petals that blew to the shaman Pokemon, but was she worried of little flower thing that she can easily burn?

Nope.

  "You're letting fear overwhelm you, Erica. That will cost you." An attack or not, Kitsunamon increased the heat around her to burn the petals to ashes when they collided in the shield. Suzy clenched her fist with excitement as Mimi and Lilymon roared with cheers.

Once again, Psylumemon tried to confuse the woman by teleporting everywhere around her. Every time Kitsunamon gets it in her sights it disappears somewhere else. So what a fire shaman to do?

Heat up the sky.

The air in the night suddenly felt so hot. Way too hot for the night plant Pokemon. Halting its teleportation, Psylumemon sweated, searching for Kitsunamon, until it spotted her within the hot, wiggly waves.

  "There you are! VISION CHAOS!!" with full power of the ten beams, Kitsunamon took a full blown damage within the explosion. "Hahaha…strange, you didn't take effort to avoid that!"

  "DANCING FLARE!!"

Blam, blam, BLAM! Psylumemon burned with the flames from the attack behind. The shaman fox chuckled, swaying her hand away after launching the attack.

  "That would be my Mirage Spell, friend."

Erica's fist tightened too, only with anger. "I will not be humiliated and let Suzy slime her way out of this one! Not this time! DOUBLE TEAM!!"

Suddenly, Kitsunamon was surrounded by an army of Psylumemon not in a ring, but every where, leaving her trapped. It was like the time Omnimon was surrounded by an army of Diaboramons.

  "Oh no! Now what?" Mimi cried to Lilymon.

  "Panic? I don't know, Suzy ain't."

But being in a few battles, and listening to Brock's advice, even though they were aimed for Ash, the Double Team attack is mostly used to confuse your opponents and can mirror the original. BUT the problem with it is that it decreases the users' defense while it's still in effect.

  "Prepare for damnation, wrench! VISION CHAOS!!" Everyone of the Psylumemon charged their fingers for their laser blast.

But the shaman fox was wise in not trying to find the real foe. She could focus her senses to find the real one, but why do that when you can do this?

Like dancing, Kitsunamon spun with such speed before stopping like on a dime for a…. "BLAZE BURST!!!" for a powerful shockwave of fire. As Mimi, Lilymon and Suzy can see on earth, the sphere of the Psylumemons burned up like a Japanese lantern. When the fire died down, the real Psylumemon hurtled down like a falling meteor, slowly breaking down to its early form when it hit the dirt: Gloom.

(End song)

  "THE BATTLE IS OVER!!" Lilymon cheered. "THE WINNER IS: KITSUNAMON!! YAAAAY!!!"     

Soon, Kitsunamon lowered back down with Suzy, eying at a shocked and despaired Erica.

  "Erica…it's over. Hand over the black D-Sphere." Suzy pleaded.

  "Never! This is my only chance to stoop over your BS way!"

  "I know that I got through life mostly the easy way out…but I'm working hard to clean that. You're letting your jealously overwhelm you, along with that device, and your greed for money. And if anyone should be jealous is me." Suzy's eyes softened with tears. "I wished I had your independent nature…you may had a rough life but it got you so successful, fair and square, and you deserved all of it. I don't deserve what I have! But you don't deserve this. Give up that dark D-Sphere!"

Like an insane being, Erica crawled away, keeping the ball back. "No! Leave me alone!"

But with a flick of Kitsunamon's finger, a flame kicked in. "You path does not rightfully belong as a tool of evil, Erica. I will purify you with the flames of virtue wither you like it or not!" with that, the flame flew away, blasting the dark D-Sphere to burning pieces from her hand, even if it meant scorching it a little.

But when the ball was destroyed and Erica screamed with pain, a ghostly purple aura surrounded her and shot out of her body before her head hit the floor.

  "Erica?" Suzy clenched her heart, fearing her friend's health. "Wha…wha…?"

A comforting hand was planted on her shoulder by Kitsunamon. "It was the given darkness from the D-Sphere that was poured on her own. The device was obliviously a key for keeping Erica soul in control. But I pray to the gods that there aren't any more of those vile things."

  "I think there is." Lilymon stated. "Izzy said there were more of those lying around the Poke-World. Bet ya 10 that Daemon planted them."

  "Perhaps."

Mimi suddenly walked up to Suzy. "Hey Suzy, you had me worried there…I kind of had doubts of what you were after your story…a con-artiest huh?"

Her lips broke to a frown. "I guess…but I'm trying hard to not to…maybe helping you guys will pay my dept."

  "That doesn't mean you're so cruel. What you did back in Olivine proved how much heart you really have. Although I thought it was because you like…" a sly smile shot as Suzy. "You know who."

And a red face crossed Suzy's cheeks. "Well…."

But then Mimi came up and gave the breeder a light hug. She was hesitant, but Suzy returned the hug.  

(Play instrumental MI-RA-I, the ending theme for Sonic X, Japanese version. Find it at www.sonicanime.net)

Suzy's ears heard familiar coughs. She turned to find her friend waking up and coughing the dust out of her lungs before rubbing her burned hand.  The breeder rushed to her aid and kneeled to down to see if she's alright.

Back at the smashed tower of the water plant, Persiamon dug through the mess of steel and dirt, trying to find IvyRosemon. But she yelped in fright when a black gloved arm reached out of the dirt. Persiamon plowed her paws through the dust and carried IvyRosemon whose body was completely battered, large cuts all over her body and her dress was torn.

The gym leader blinked at Suzy, gazing her eyes at hers. They stood there like it was for hours, wanting for one of them to say something. Such pity grown on the breeder when she spotted tears dripping down on Erica's face. Her throat breathed like she had the hiccups, but Suzy can tell that Erica was starting to beat herself up.

Persiamon laid IvyRosemon on the softest part of the dirt, hoping she can help her up. Doing something perhaps forbidden in the society of Digimon, Persiamon lifted a little of IvyRosemon's flower hat to judge her activeness from her eyes. The plant Digimon sluggishly raised her eyes, gazing her weak sights on her old rival who looked at her with concern. The cat Digimon gasped when the Mega's body was fizzing like static.

Erica shut her eyes tight, unable to stop the tears that flowed like a waterfall. She began to sound like she was coughing, but she was sobbing uncontrollably. From what Suzy gathered, even though Erica was controlled by the evil, she was completely aware of everything, and it broke her heart from all the rotten thing she said about her old friend and what she attempted to do. Suzy's eyes softened, soaking from tears of her own.

  "I…didn't mean it…~sob~….I didn't…" Erica sobbed, breathing through the sobs.

Suzy hung her head, letting her own tears drop to the soil. Shaking her arms, she released it all by wrapping her arms around her friend and held on to her.

Persiamon's furry face was soaked around her cheeks because of the tears that poured out of her eyes. IvyRosemon held up a hand to the cat with all her strength, which Persiamon grabbed her hand, not letting her use up her energy. She felt like crying harder cause after all the trouble, the pain Persia caused her, IvyRosemon's blue eyes soften, signaling a smile below her nose.

  "Hey…I guess it proves it…you're the best out of us." She said with a groggy voice, making Persiamon cry uncontrollably and shake her head. The plant lady's body began to lose it stableness; fuzz in static more. "It's…alright…I already got…what I wanted…."

She held on to Persiamon's hand tighter, making the cat smile with sobbing nature.

  "See…ya around…friend…" with those last words, IvyRosemon slowly broke into data.

Guilt, shame, and all burned Persiamon's soul as the data flew around her like sparks of fire. Her only friend was gone, because of the nature of surviving that made them forget their friendship, and IvyRosemon's death unlocked it.

Taking a deep breath, Persiamon raised an arm and harnessed the data belonging to her friend.

But at least like this…IvyRosemon will always be with her.

  "Rest easy, girlfriend…you're in good hands." She whispered with a forced smile.

A tingle crawled around her shoulders; a force unable to identify. Persiamon stood tall, watching the moon. Did she feel a call; was it someone calling to her? She must of…she heard someone, someone needing her.

Unsure, doubtful, yes, but those thoughts are concerned; perhaps this will fill the void in her life now that her friend was gone.

With that, she howled at the moon like a cat on a fence.

(End song)

  "Hey guys." Mimi said, joining up with Giselle, Joe, FlaWizardmon, and Eolitreemon as they walked out of the plant. "Say where's Persiamon?"

  "She needed to be alone." The wizard answered, holding up the weak Treecko.

Suzy nodded, massaging Erica's shoulder to sway away any sorrow left in her. "Hey, who's that?"

  "This is Eolitreemon." Joe answered. "We got D-Spheres just like you."

  "A useful concept." FlaWizardmon said. "With this in hand, Giselle and Joe can keep watch of the city while you do battle with the evil out there."

  "Yeah, look out, Daemon! We're coming out to get you!" Lilymon cheered. "Right, Kitsunamon…uh, Kitsunamon?"

The fox woman was sniffing the air. "What's that…smell I detect?" her eyes found a magazine on the floor, something she need to pick up. Looking through it, she discovered something stunning, so remarkable; the society of females may quiver in their flesh. "OH MY HEAVENS!!"

  "What…? Oh that must of fell out of my bag." Said Mimi.   

  "Look at this dress! OH I love the textures!" she squealed with a voice suddenly sounding like a teenaged girl.

  "Oh I know! I love that dress! I think it'll do wonders in parties. I think there's more in the bag Lilymon has."

  "Uh oh." The fairy gulped.

  "LET ME SEE!!!"

In order to witness the fabrics of fashion, Kitsunamon had to run over those in her way, namely FlawWizardmon, Joe, and Lilymon. Soon, Kitsunamon, Mimi, and Giselle were gushing over the fashion magazines, giggling like school girls, and Giselle is one.

Suzy grabbed her face. "Brock…what have you done with her?"

  "WOW!!"

???: ?:??

A chaotic sight deep in space, where a solar system can be seen in the star light back ground. Pieces of meteors polluted the realm, like dust in water. Engraved in the larger rocks were three heroes, battered from battling a remarkable evil that floated above, shrouded in flames of hell.

The large black dog robot peeled himself out of the dirty rock. "What gives? This guy is practically toying with us!"

  "Man!" the dark knight (Not Batman) growled, using his lance to pull himself out of the crater. "Things looked less painful on TV. Daemon's too powerful!"

  "Gogglehead…!" the dark shaman stood on her knee, keeping balance with her staff. "Same with D-Reaper, but did that stop us?"

  "Well gee, Rika, since when did you became voice of confidents?"

  "Since now!" she shouted, standing on her feet.

  "Well…you are right about one thing…" B.SaintGalgomon said, lifting to his legs, and talking in Henry's voice. "If we don't defeat Daemon, we'll never get home!"

  "Yeah!" ChaosDukemon, however, blew away the rocks on him to stand. "You hear that, Daemon? We won't surrender! We won't!" crying in a battle cry, the knight leaped off the meteor, which his jump blasted the rock to bits.

  "Let's mix it up!" Kuzahumon shouted, soaring after Daemon.

  "Yee haw! Time for some demon booty kicking!" the cybrog cried in BlackTerriermon's voice.

The lord of darkness chuckled at their effort as the Tamers charged up for the attack. "Amusing…this is becoming quite enjoyable." He spread his arms, as his aura sounded a loud hum across the cosmos. "Come my children…open your hearts to the darkness that was born with you! Yes! Release it!"

With that, Daemon unleashed a power inferno shockwave that's powerful enough to take out a couple of city blocks, and this wave was heading for the three heroes.

  "Aw man! This is gonna hurrrrrrrrt….!" BlackTerriermon cried.

End of part 23…..

Takuya: Jeez, and I thought Lucemon was tough. How they gonna survive this? Stay tuned to the next Mon Wars.

Terra: Hey, we have some bad news. Due to the length of this chapter, we will not respond to your reviews, but AnT will still like to thank you for the reviews. He would say it himself, but Dark AnT has taken over to fight Max Acorn's muses again…baka.

Max Kamiya: Oh, you think yo so bad, huh dark boy? I went soft on your ass last time! This time it's on, and I brought my boy, Tyler with me.

Tyler: Yeah… EXECUTE…FORBIDDEN SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!! (The young man transformed into a beast in a armor that looked like something from Roman Warriors, like that armor of inferno.) …INFERNOMON!!"

Infernomon: You dare mock the powers of the D-3s? For that, you will crush beneath my power!

Dakr AnT: Ahhh…universal being number 79245. I was expecting better.

Infernomon: WHAT? You dare mock me and ID me with numbers? Die, weakling! RAGE OF THE INFERNO!!!

(The armored beast punched the air, creating a powerful wave of fire. But after Dark AnT grinned evilly, the wave somehow slammed behind Infernomon.)

Infernomon: What…the devil?

Dark AnT: Is that all, fool? (Smiles as he held up his sword.)

Infernomon: You simpleton fool! (He leaps up with his blades glowing white hot, and aims for Dark AnT.) INFERNO DOUBLE SLASH!!!

(The entire gang shielded themselves as a power white blast erupted on the battlefield. But when it dissiappeared, Dark AnT slivered out of a wormhole portal, cackling as Infernomon nearly struggled on his knees.)

Max: BULL!!!! Tyler's way past stronger than me! He should've done the job!

Dark AnT: Have you forgotten what I said before, fool? No matter how powerful you are…you cannot fight a Nexus Knight, those who are your gods, the nature born from what created you! From what can control your very essence! I could destroy you with a thought if I wanted to! You can not defeat me! BHAHAHAHA!!!!

Terra: Okay…I had enough of this. Hey Max!

Max Snail: What?

Terra: Not you! (Hands Max Kamiya over a tiny shard)

Max: What's this?

Terra: This is a Nexus Shard, a tiny piece of the towers that is the axis of all reality, and from where Dark AnT got his powers. As long as you're in possession of it, your powers and everything of you works outside of space and time, a place where Dark AnT can't control your powers.

Max: (Smiles) You mean…?

Terra: Yes…he's pathetically weak now.

(Gripping on the shard, Max turned to Dark AnT with a wide smile.)

Dark AnT: Uh…hey come on! I was just kidding around! I was laughing with ya! Heh ehe. EEP!!!

(Max dashes at AnT and loud sounds of punches, kicks and cracks were heard.)

Max: Aw man…! Ow…I don't think that's supposed to bend like that…! Eek!

Dark AnT: You insidious mortal….AAACK…..you shall pay with….AAAAHHH….MY HAND….AAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Max: ~Sigh~…I'm done….(Tosses the shard to Infernomon) Hey, Tyler, he's all yours.

Infernomon: YES!!!!

(Flames, screams and all was heard, and everyone winced away)

Sora: Terra…you're one evil girl.

Terra: I know.

Dark AnT: NOT THE FACE….AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Chiller: AnT liked to say that this wasn't his favorite chapter cause the appearance of Giselle and Joe seemed so pointless, other than being somebody to keep an eye on Celadon City while Mimi and Suzy leaves to join with the others to battle Daemon.       

Coming up next, Matt and Gary will take their skills in the Pokemon Race, or Joe and Brock paints the SS. Aqua red. Now if you excuse me, I better try to calm those guys down.

(Sees a power blast of fire erupting like a volcano.)

Chiller: Uh…after Infernomon finishes barbecuing Dark. Don't worry guys. AnT will be fine, next time.
