A/N Ok my story doesn't really have a big place in the Digimon series so its hard to place it before or after any specific season. But my story does make references (small references, only small references) to past seasons and events. Plus most of the things are made up except for a few things but you'll find out what in the story. Oh, I don't own digimon. Plus I want to say thanks to my beta! You know who you are!
The egg within the hands of the brunette boy started to rattle and shake violently. A small seam started to spread across the top of the egg while small pops of light shone through the crack.
"What the heck is going on here? My egg's acting weird!" yelped Podai as he fumbled his orange and white egg, making it fall to the grass beneath. As the crack on the egg grew, more light erupt from inside. Then the egg started to sway from left to right.
"What the hell is going on? What's going on with my egg?" Podai asked once again.
"Your egg is about to hatch. Watch." said Gennai as he pointed to the egg. The egg begin to seperate and a burst of light came from it. The light grew as it blinded the surrounding area. The light subsided to show it taking the egg's form. Then the light around the egg split in two and the egg shell went back to its normal color. Everyone came closer to see what was inside. Inside the egg shell were two round things that looked as if it was clear but held some type of white smoke. A small trace of color shaded the light smoke from its all white appearance.
"What is that?" asked Henji as he leaned in closer to get a better look.
"It's a beginning process of a digimon," said Gennai, "But please let me explain before you say something. When a egg hatches, several things take in effect. Inside lays the digimon's inner core. Digimon now are not born as digimon, but as digimon cores. That is what came out of Podai's egg. It's the clear round thing with smoke in it. This will soon form into your digimon's baby stage."
"Hmm...but why are there two digimon cores? Did Podai get twins or something? I thought you said digimon core not digmon cores..." said Henji.
"Yea. Why are there two?" Naoki asked with sparked eyes, looking at Gennai.
"One is your digimon and another is your digivice. But you can't touch it yet. You have to wait till an interface can happen. A digivice let's you and your digimon harvest the power within. But be cool. I wont go too deep into that right now." said the young man with the black and white mohawk as he looked around at the puzzled faces.
"So youre telling me that is a digimon and that is a digi-thingy? They just look like clear smoke bombs..." said Henji as he leaned close enough to have his nose touching the ground.
"Try thinking before you say something, Henji. You really make yourself look like a fool. Gennai, lets try and explain a little more than just sentences." questioned Naoki.
"Ok, don't get your bra tangled. Soon it will change to it's baby form." explained Gennai.
Suddenly, one of the cores started to twitch. It moved as if it was trying to hatch once more, even though it was small enough. The ball rolled from side to side and lit up again. The light expaned till it was three times its previous size. The ball became an overly bright color of what looked like a shade of orange similar to the color of the symbol on Podai's egg. Then the light subsided and and the light ball materialized into a small grey puff ball with a tiny puffy tail-like thing on it. Small spiny hair spiked along the middle and back of the small creature. The meadow became quiet until the puff ball blinked it's blue eyes. Then the puff ball opened it mouth.
"Hi! Are you my mommy?" asked the little puffer as it bounced about.
"What the hell? No I'm not!" yelled Podai.
"Then..you must be my tamer! My name is Hulimon! Nice to meet you! Uhh what's your name?" Hulimon asked joyfullily.
"Its..Podai. Nice to meet you too." said the now timid brunette.
"It should be time for your eggs to hatch too. Go see if any movement has happen." said Gennai.
The other two chosen walked over to their eggs to try and see if any birth was taking place. Naoki sat down beside her egg and closed her eyes to paiently wait. Henji walked circles around his egg and shouting "open" to get it to be born. Neither two eggs were making any movement or any attempt of cracking. Until Henji's egg bounced.
"Hey my egg moved!" yelled Henji.
"No it didn't." said Naoki as she slowly opened her eyes to point attention at Henji.
"Yea It did! Look, I think it's about to hatch right now!" yelped Henji as he tried to get everyone looking.
Henji egg with the blue symbol rolled from side to side like Podai's egg did. Then a crack appeared at the top and made it's way down the side. A light shone through the crack that brighten as the shell fell into two equal parts, revealing the digicore and the digivice. A light then erupted from one of the balls and grew in size. A shade of blue fused itself with in the shadowy white color that was present within the light. The light subsided and then materialized in to a black spike ball with a mini horn coming out above it's green eyes. It turned around looking at the world it just entered until it bumped into a face very close to its own.
"Hi! My name is Henji! What's yours?" Henji asked as came close enough as if to kiss his digimon.
"Whoa buddy, back up some. I see you didn't brush your teeth before you came here." said the little black spiker as it laughed with Henji in deep confusion,"Im just kidding! My name's Bomon! It's nice to meet you!"
"Wha..?" Henji said as he stood still in twisted misunderstandment until he busted out in laughter, "That was funny! I like you little dude!" prononced Henji as he picked up his digimon and hugged him.
Naoki sat back down in front of her egg and watched it. She studied the red symbol on the side of the egg. She was wondering why it was taking so long for hers to activate like the others. She took the idea off her mind and continued to meditate. Suddenly she could feel a bright light through her closed eyes. She opened her eyes to see the crack form at the top of her egg and the light bursting from it. Her egg soon split open revealing the two balls. Then light grew around one of the ball growing in size. A blend red and pink swirled within the light. The light materialized into a white puff with two mini fox tails. The white puff opened up it's eyes as Naoki lifted it up up to eye level.
"Hi! My name is Lijmon! What's your name?" asked the white puff as it blinked it's bright pink eyes.
"The name's Naoki. I think you missed the welcoming party." said Naoki as she motioned toward Podai and Henji jumping around with their digimon.
"That's okay. I'm just happy I met you!" piped Lijmon in the palm of Naoki's hand. A soft "thanks" erupted from Naoki mouth and a smile spread across her sullen face. She stood up and carried Lijmon over by the others.
"What do we do now, Gennai?" asked Naoki in her normal voice. She was joined by the others.
"Yea, What do we do next?" asked Henji.
"Well, it's time for you to activate your digivices. Go grab the other core and bring it back here" said Gennai as he directed them to do so. The three went back to their egg shells and picked up their cores.
"Let's have Podai do it first." instructed Gennai.
"Me? Umm..Sure. What do I do?" asked Podai unsurely.
"Hold out your digivice and say "digicore activate!". You two pay attention." Gennai told Naoki and Henji.
"Okay, I'll try." said Podai.
Podai lifted his digicore and yelled "digicore activate!". The ball within his hand lit with extreme light and so did his digimon. The bright took the shade of a lit color and then subsided. The light faded into the digicore. The final color seemed to be mild shade of orange and white.
"Is that it? It's still a digi ball-thingy..." questioned Henji as he studied the digicore.
"This is what you would call a digivice or an other words, a digicore," said Gennai as he tried to explain, "See, the thing you hold in your hand is also in your digimon. So the two are connected at the core of each other. A digicore lets you tap directly into your digimon potential and also in your own. With the digicore in your hand, you will be able to connect into the direct core of your digimon. I guess it's time for you two to do it now." instructed Gennai at Naoki and Henji
The other two chosen proceeded with activiting their digicores. After that, Gennai called them into a group to explain their next objective.
"Now I must have you guys take a little test. Nothing too hard." said Gennai.
"A test? Of what sort?" asked Naoki as she came in closer.
"I don't think I brought a pencil...He He! Just kidding!" Laughed Henji and Bomon out loud. Both of them rolled around on the grass, trying catched their breath from their latest joke. Podai let out a little snicker but quickly caught himself.
"No, this a test to make sure you be able to handle yourself and your digimon. There are many things in this vast land and not everything is going to shake your hand. While most digimon are generally nice, some aren't. That's why I want to make sure you three will be okay out there."
"Okay, bring it on!" yelped Henji as he and Bomon nodded.
"Bring whatever you have." said Naoki as she picked up Lijmon.
"...I'm ready." said Podai as looked down at Hulimon.
"Ok, be ready and good luck." said Gennai as reached into his pocket. He pulled out a little grey whistle tied with a black necklace and red and green beads. He lifted it to his lips and blew. The sound was a mellow high pitch tone.
Across the meadow a loud roar was bellowed. The chosen could see the trees in the forest moving as if something was coming that way Suddenly area went silent again. But then a louder roar erupted, sounding as if it was closer.
"Everyone, brace yourselves," said Gennai as moved a little back, "It's here."
