Okay, I took a little break from each kid story to do this little adventure. And I have to say, this is the start of my long chapters too. Sometimes I get too into these things. Anyway, I have a bit of a challange for all you Digimon fans out there: Can you name all the Digimon I mention in this chapter? Let's see how much of a Digimon fan are you! As usual, Enjoy and Review!
Chapter Six Chosen Children vs. Chimpmon
There is only one town that rest in Gigabit Valley; New Dataville. No two houses in this town are the same. Some buildings are orange with blue roofs and pock-a-dot windows, others were grass green huts that can be blow over so easily by a small wind, and a few were huge metallic cubes with sliver windows that just show you reflection. Yet, what really makes Dataville so unique is the enormous market place. Digimon from all over come to either buy or sell the goods they have to offer. The kids and their Digimon had made it to the town and were in the middle of the market place. Their eyes were sparkling and their heads were jerked all over the place at all the unusual Digimon around them. They saw a little yellow orange dinosaurs trotting along with his nose in the air sniffing the food that made his mouth water. A larger than normal green worm crawling around with a nervous and scared look on his face. And even, to the kids' amazement, a large bunny with machine gun for hands and wearing jeans! The kids and their Digimon had split from each other when they entered the town, and were now looking at different shops that caught their eye.
"Hey, check this out!" Nate said all excitedly to Sealmon. They had found a music store and there were many different instruments all around there. From brass, to sting, to woodwinds all were in this little shop. Nate had pick up what looked like a violin, however it had two necks forming a V on the violin. All together there were 8 stings on this odd shape violin.
"Way cool!" Sealmon said looking around the place. Then he looked at him funny and asked, "So what is it?"
"It's a violin," Nate said holding out a little bit to show Sealmon, "I think?" Sealmon looked closer at the sting instrument. He looked into his reflection in the shinny polish wood. He took one of his claw like finger and pluck one of the strings. It vibrates and a deep note bounced off the walls. Sealmon looked away and asked Nate with a silly grin on his face,
"That is so cool! Do you know how to play?"
"Do I know how to play?" Nate said sounding proper and he pulled the violin closer to him, "I've been playing the violin since I was 6 years old!" He smooths out his shirt and looked to the side with a little smile on his face. Sealmon laughed to the side before saying,
"Will, what are you waiting for! Play that funky music, nervous boy!" Nate rolled his eyes and he places the violin under his chin. Then he put one hand on the neck of the instrument and began to pluck the stings with his free hand. He was playing something jazzy and he was getting into it, for he was bouncing side to side with the beat. Sealmon too was getting into the music, for he was bouncing side to side as well. "I want in with the action!" he said looking around for an instrument for him to play. Then he saw on a table nearby what looked like a loaf of bread with 4 holes on top and hole on the side to blow into and another hole that came out. He crawled over to it and looked at it from all different angels. Once he figures out that it was an instrument, he grabbed it with his mouth and blow into it. It made a loud, high pitch whistle sound. He laughed when he hear the note came out. So he raises the bread flute up and began to whistle the tone that Nate was play. Both of them were having fun playing the instruments that they had. Nate was laugh a little bit as he was playing the violin, and Sealmon had his eyes closed shaking his head from side to side as he played the bread flute faster than Nate's violin. They were both having fun, until.
"Do you two see anything you like here? Geko!" said a large odd looking frog with horns around his neck with a lot of tongue as he spoke. He had surprised both of them and nearly made Nate dropped the violin. It flopped around in his hands a few times until he final had it under control. He sighed and wiped some of the sweat off his forehead that is unit hears the sound of someone sallow something. He slowly moved his head over to look at Sealmon. Sealmon did not have the bread flute in his mouth anymore. He was looking down at his stomach with a nervous look on his face. He looked up at Nate and the frog Digimon and opens his mouth a little bit. Out came the sound of the bread flute, sill in his stomach. Nate's jaw dropped to the ground when he hears the note coming out of Sealmon's mouth. The frog Digimon pointed a web finger at Sealmon and asked, "Did he just eat my bread flute? Geko!"
"NO HE DIDN'T!" Nate yelled nervously. He quickly and carefully places the violin down on the nearby table and grabbed Sealmon. "GOT TO GO! THIS WAS A VERY NICE SHOP YOU HAVE!" Nate yelled as he dashed out the door and into the crowed market place. Sealmon was under Nate's arms and was playing the bread flute that was in his stomach.
"Hey! This is kind of cool!" He said as he played a funky beat.
"Oh, no it's not!" Nate said quickly as he shook his head. They were going around other Digimon trying to look for the others. As Nate was running for his life, Kenta and Houndmon were looking around what seems to be a wood shop. All around them there was things made from light color wood; tables, chairs, candle stick, doors, door knobs, small figures of Digimon, large figures of Digimon, and masks for scary to funny. Houndmon was looking at a table that had a pyramid of wooden balls. They all looked so smooth and the mixture of light and dark wood looks very cool to him. He stuck his nose close to the pyramid and took a few sniffs at the wooden balls. The strong smell of freshly cut wood filled his nose. The smell of that wood made him very relaxed for some reason. All of a sudden, some saw dust flew up in his nose. When the saw dust flew up his nose, Houndmon felt a sneeze coming. He leaned back a few time then, ACHOO! He sneezed loudly in the wood shop. When he was done sneezing he wiped his nose with his paw. He soon heard the sound of something rolling and looked to see what it was. The pyramid of ball had collapse, and they were now rolling off the table and making loud banging sounds when they hit the ground. Houndmon quickly put both his paws on his nose, making sure he does not sneeze again, and looked left and right to see if someone had saw him. No one had yet seen him causing the balls to roll off the table, so he dashed away to fine where Kenta was. Kenta was near a barrel that had some things sticking out of it. Kenta had pull out two kendo sticks from the barrel. His eyes light up and he was smiling as he looked at the craftsmanship of both wooden swords. He was about to look for Houndmon, when Houndmon bumped into him. Houndmon took a few steps back and took his paws off his nose. He looked at Kenta and sighed in relief.
"Oh, Kenta it's you!" he said sounding relax.
"Yeah," Kenta said slowly looking at his partner, "What's the matter, you look a little nervous?"
"It's nothing," Houndmon said scratching his ear, "Say what to you got there?" He stopped his scratching and pointed at what Kenta had in his hands.
"Oh, these," Kenta said looking at one, "These are kendo sticks."
"What's kendo?" Houndmon asked as he took one from his hand and looked at it closely. Kenta cleared his throat before saying,
"Kendo is 'the way of the sword' and it is usually mastered in Japan. That's a contrary form where I'm from"
"Okay, I think I'm getting it," Houndmon said sniffing the kendo stick. Kenta looked at the kendo stick longingly and said,
"Sensei made me practice kendo every day, and I hated it. But now that I've been in this world for a few days, I kind of miss it." Houndmon saw the missing of his own world in Kenta's eyes. He took a deep breath, and swung the kendo stick right at Kenta. Out of his habit, Kenta blocked Houndmon's struck. He raised an eyebrow as Houndmon tried to push back and asked,
"What are you doing?"
"Come on, Kenta!" Houndmon call out pulling the stick back, "Let's see these kendo skills you have!" Kenta smiled and looked down a bit. He knew that Houndmon was trying to make him feel better, and it had worked. He then looked back up, and took his stands like he normally did when he was facing his sensei.
"Oaky then," Kenta said with a smile, "Come at me with all you got!" With that the two of them clash wooden swords. Houndmon was swinging his stick around at Kenta, but he had the experience and blocks all his attack. The two of them were having fun, trying to hit each other with their kendo sticks. Kenta was laughing loudly for he was having so much fun with this. Just then, a wooden stump with hands and feet and big yellow eyes shuffled near them. He pointed a wooded finger at them and yelled,
"Hey! HEY! If you're not going to buy them, then put them back where you found them." Kenta quickly stopped and Houndmon quickly fallowed. He looked down, and blushed with embarrassment.
"I'm…I'm sorry for that," he said softly as he put the kendo stick down. The stump Digimon watched as Kenta place the kendo stick down on the nearby table. Then he quickly dashed out of the shop and into the street. Houndmon quickly toss the wooden sword to the side and ran after Kenta. When he had caught up to Kenta, he saw that he was still embarrassed.
"Hey," Houndmon said making Kenta look down at him, "We were having fun back there, right." Kenta gave a small smile and said back,
"Yeah." As Kenta and Houndmon were walking and talking, Kenta talking more about kendo, Iris and Lynxmon where in a shop that was made just for them. This shop was dimly light, and had black candles everywhere. In this shop there were, thin lather books full of usual languages, chains that rattle when a someone walks by, cloaks and hats of all different kinds, and a few crystal balls sitting on some table; waiting to tell the future to someone. Iris was in front of a tall mirror with black wood around it. She had found a black cape with little white stars that seem to glow in the dim light and was wearing it in front of the mirror.
"I will say this before, and I will say it again," Iris said swinging the cloak in front of her, "Black is so my color!"
"Hey, Iris! Guess what I found!" Lynxmon called out. Iris turned around and smiled, for Lynxmon had a pointed black wizard hat on top of her head. With that hat on her head, it looked like she had three ears. She held out her arms and licks her sharp teeth.
"Oh my gosh!" Iris said laughing a little bit as she walked down to Lynxmon, "Where in the world did you find this!"
"It wasn't easy, I'll tell you that much!" Lynxmon said seriously as she took the hat off, "It was almost buried in the back, and I had to jump in to find one!"
"May I try it on," Iris asked holding out her head.
"That's why I got it for you!" Lynxmon replied with a smile as she handed the hat to her. She slowly places the hat on top of her dark brown hair and turn around to see herself in the mirror.
"Wow," she said putting a hands on her hip, "I really look like I should be in Harry Potter, or something like that."
"Who's Harry Potter," Lynxmon asked as she walked next to Iris. Iris looked down at her with a little grin and answered,
"I'll tell you about that latter. Now, you want to make some poses with me in the mirror?"
"Sure," she answered with a little laugh. And so the two of them did a numerous amount of posses. One was where Iris was holding up a wand about to cast a spell, with Lynxmon running on all four next to her. Another was Iris riding a broom stick into the night sky, and Lynxmon holding onto her cape. And the last one was with Lynxmon jumping into Iris's arms and looking at themselves smiling. The two of them were having fun with the dark clothes in this shop.
"So, are you ready to purchase something?" a soft voice said behind them. Still holding onto Lynxmon, Iris turned around to see a goblin like Digimon with grayish green skin and yellow hair, wearing only a light blue vest and long cloth with light orange on the edges, rubbing his hands together greedily. Iris keep on watching the goblin Digimon as she slowly lower herself for Lynxmon to jump down.
"Sorry," she began taking off the hat and cape, "But we were just having fun, we are not interested to buy anything to day. But you have one of the awesomeness shop I've even seen!" She tosses the black cloak on top of him and place the hat on top and the two of them walked out. The goblin sighed deeply and said,
"I hated when Digimon don't buy anything here!"
"I never knew you could smile this much," Lynxmon said when they were out in the streets. Iris, who had her hands behind her head, looked down at Lynxmon as she continued to say, "I've only known you for a few day now, and I only seen you smile only a few times. So it is kind of nice seeing more of a smile on you." Iris looked the other way and gave a sour look as she said,
"Well…yeah….I can be all happy and girly just like Emily is all the time. But that's just me! And don't tell anyone that I said that, alright?"
"You know me, I can keep a secret," Lynxmon said putting one of her finger over her mouth and closed one eye. The two of them laughed as made their way down the street. The two of them were walking and talking about the store that they just went, as they past May and Caterpillarmon in a tech story. This store was filled with usual and strange devices; some were very common like a computer, other was strange like a robot that can crack an egg open, and there were a few, under lock and key, that were high power weapons. When May had seen this store, she quickly went inside to look around.
"Look at this place and all its wonder!" she said holding her arms out and spinning a little bit. Caterpillarmon sitting on her shoulder and was looking around with the same wonderment as May did.
"This place is so strange; I wonder who made all these things?" Caterpillarmon asked as she saw a device the was cutting up some fruit. Then something caught her eye, it was a bit red button on the wall. It was the only button on the wall, and it made Caterpillarmon wonder. "Hey May!" she called to May, who was looking closely at one of the computers, "What do you think that button dose?" May looked at the button and her eyes widen. It seemed to be calling her as she slowly walked to the button.
"I do not know for sure," May said when she finally was near the button. Caterpillarmon turned her head to face May and asked,
"If you don't know what it is, and I don't know what it is, then should we push it to see what it does?" May was silent for a moment, for she was thinking it all over. She grinned as she faces Caterpillarmon. She raised a finger and said,
"Well, we cannot ignore our curiosity, now can we?"
"That is true, that is true," Caterpillarmon said shaking her head. May took her finger and slowly pushed the big red button. When she pressed it, a red light began to flash, a loud high pitch alarm rang everyone, steam was coming out of some of the walls, and a mechanical voice was shouting "Danger, Warning! Danger, Warning!" The sound was so loud that May had to put her hands over her ear to make the sound stop ringing in her ears. Caterpillarmon tried to put her shot little legs over her ears, but they were just too tiny to reach up.
"Okay, so now we know what this button does!" Caterpillarmon yelled over the alarm, "Now how do we shut it off!"
"I can't hear you!" May yelled over the alarm, "I need to think of a way to shut this alarm off so that we can talk!" Before May could think of something, the alarm sudden stopped. For a long time, there was a ringing in their ears. Just above that ringing, they heard someone saying,
"Pardon me, but are you the ones who push the alarm button?" May stuck a finger in her arm and twisted it around to get the wax out as she turned around to see who was talking to her. She nearly gasped when she saw a big iron robot with a hatch on it chest and brown eyes that were coved by his metal face. His iron body was a reddish color and his arms were crossed as he was looking at May and Caterpillarmon. May rubbed the back of her head and smiled at the iron robot sheepishly.
"Yeah, I have to be honest, I did push the button," she said not looking at the robot.
"But we only pushed it because we were curious about what it does," Caterpillarmon added quickly trying to help May out as best she could. The iron robot shook its head, which was his whole body as well, and sighed.
"Great! Another curiosity button case! Why did we have to paint it red?" the iron robot said to himself. May and Caterpillarmon both looked at each other as the iron robot waved his hands out to them saying, "I have to ask you to leave the store now please."
"But why do we have to…" Caterpillarmon began. Yet the iron robot interrupted saying,
"Please don't argue, just go." He was still waving a hand telling them to go. With a sad look on her face, May put her hand in her pocket and slowly treaded out the store. When she was outside, she sighed deeply and said,
"Why was I born with such great curiosity!" She gowned loudly at what had just happen to her and Caterpillarmon. Caterpillarmon looked at May as if she was crazy and said,
"Curiosity isn't something to be mad about! If you didn't have it, they you would not be the wondering person I know today!" May stared at her for a long time. Then a smile formed on her face as she patted her partner on the head.
"Thanks, I need to hear that," she said taking a hand off of Caterpillarmon, "Now then, let' go see what the others are up to?" With the she quickly went searching in the crowd, looking for her friends. As she was looking for her friends, Jake and Deemon were having fun outside. They were walking around and looking at some of the store in the area. Yet, none of them seem to catch their eye. Jake was about to walk down an ally way, when he saw something that made him grin. It was a white ball that was cover with dirt, but still looked good enough to play soccer with. Jake was now kicking the ball up a few feet in the air with his knees. He chuckled at every time he switches his knees to kick to ball up. Deemon was completely awestruck at what Jake was doing. His eyes had widened as they fallow the ball bounce up and down. He had his hands clapped together and his mouth was open a little bit.
"Jake, wow, what are you doing with that ball?" he asked Jake.
"I'm playing soccer," Jake said as he balanced the ball on his foot that he had his leg extended out.
"So this is soccer!" Deemon said all excitedly.
"Yeah," Jake said. He looked at Deemon and added, "Do you want to try?" Deemon grinned bigly and shook his head violently. Jake chuckled as he kicks the ball up to the air so that Deemon could play as well. Deemon watched as the ball can back down the ground. He shifted to the left and then to the right so that he could get a better looks at the falling ball. "Just remember," Jake called out to Deemon. Deemon looked at him as he continued, "Don't use your hands!" Deemon looked surprised, for this was news to him. He looked down at his hand, then at the ball that was almost upon him. He scratched his head, trying to think of a better way to hit the ball; and an idea came to him. The ball came down, and Deemon used his head to hit it back up a few feet. Jake laughed loudly and clapped for his partner as Deemon keep hitting the ball with his shinny head. "You may not be able to use your hands," Jake said as he looked at Deemon who had a bit smile on his face as he bounced the ball up more, "But you can sure use you head!"
"Yeah! My head is like my best part of me!" Deemon said proudly and she bounced the ball more. Some of the Digimon that were on the street stated to looked at the two of them. Some of them just stood, hypnotized by the bouncing of the ball off Deemon's head, others were clapping to the beat of the ball off Deemon's head. Jake cracked his knuckles and said,
"Okay, now hit the ball over to me, and I'll give it one of my famous power strike off that wall over there." He pointed at the nearby black brick wall to them. Deemon nodded and hit the ball up one more time. When the ball came back down, he head butted it right for Jake. The ball was making it way right to Jake now. Jake licked his lips a little bit and took his stands as the ball came for him. When the ball was near him, he gave the ball his famous power strike kicks right for the wall. It whooshes right to the wall, making the wind around it rush as it moved. Jake had his fist in the air, for it looked like it was going to hit where he wanted it to hit. Deemon dashed over to him as they watch the ball fly to the wall, excitement was on his face as well. Then, the ball went flying right pass the wall Jake wanted. Jake frowned and sighed deeply, and Deemon just kept on watching at where the ball was going. The ball was heading right for a glass shop! When it entered the shop, there was a loud crashing sound and the sound of the glass hitting the floor. Some of the Digimon was looking at the store, and a few were going inside to see what had happen. When Jake heard the crash, he quickly pulled in his hand and a scared and worried look on his face. He looked down at Deemon, who had his mouth open and an eyebrow raised. Then they heard a loud roaring noise that made both of them jumped a foot in the air. They both looked to see a 6 foot tall flaming man with blue eyes and a sown mouth marching out of the store. He was looked around the place angry and had fist in his hands. The flames that surround him seem to grow bigger by the second; for he was angry.
"When I find the punk or punks who completely smashed my precious glass figure of WarGreymon," the fire Digimon began, his fist truing in fire, "I will burn them to the GROUND!" The fire on his body seems to grow more because of his angry. Deemon took a big gulp as he watch the fire Digimon look through crowd.
"So Jake, what do we do now?" he asked turning around to look at Jake. He blinked a few times for Jake was not near him. He looked down the street and saw Jake, running at full speed, down the street. Deemon looked back at the fire Digimon, who was getting close to him, then ran after Jake. When he was near Jake, Jake sighed a gave weak smile to him partner.
"Guess I should work on my accuracy," Jake said weakly.
"That would help!" Deemon said laughing a little bit. As the two of them ran as fast as they could down the street; Emily and Canarymon where in a flower shop, smelling all the strange flowers. In this shop there were flowers of all different shapes, sizes, and smells. There was a 6 foot tall red roses that looked unbelievably real, a big sunflower that was a lilac color, and there were even flowers that smelled like hamburger. Emily was taking a deep breath as she smelled some pock-a-dot flowers. She sighed deeply with a lazy look on her face.
"Oh, my goodness," Emily said turning around, "Canarymon come over here and tell me what do you smell with these flowers!" Canarymon was looking at a huge sliver banana laying on the ground, when Emily called her over. Canarymon spread out her wings and dashes over to Emily.
"What do you want me to smell?" Canarymon asked as she stopped in front of Emily.
"These right here," Emily said pointing at the flowers she was smelling. She close here eyes and took a few sniffs at the flowers that Emily had pointed out. She too soon sighed lazily and looked up to Emily.
"Smelling these flowers," she began as she yawned a bit, "Makes me feel a little sleepy after I smell them."
"I know what you mean," Emily said yawning a rubbing her eyes a little bit, "After smelling these flowers, I feel like taking a nap." She gave a big yawn and said, "Let's move to another plant before we fall asleep."
"You don't' have to tell me twice," Canarymon said as they left the sleep plants. They were now walking around the plant shop, looking for more flowers to smell. Then all of a sudden a flower caught Canarymon's eye. It was a small yellow flower surround what looked to be like dark green leaves. Canarymon flapped her wings and flew over to the signal flower. Emily notice that Canarymon was not near her, so she looked around trying to find her. She sighed in relief when she saw Canarymon flying right near the signal flower, smelling it. The flower that she was smelling smelled so lovely. Then all of a sudden, the dark green leaves that surround that flower, suddenly from a mouth and closed down on Canarymon. Emily turn white as she saw Canarymon's feet kicking outside the man eating plant.
"OH NO!" she yelled as she dashed over to her partner. She quickly gabbed onto Canarymon's feet and pulled as hard as she could. Yet, it was not use, she would not pull out. In fact, if felt like she was being pulled in more. "SOMEBODY, HELP!" Emily shouted in the store.
"Is there something there you need help with," said someone behind her. Emily, not wanted to let go of Canarymon, glace back to see a small plant like Digimon with a pink flower growing out of its head. She took one look at what Emily was holding on, and her big black eyes widen more.
"Oh, no! Not again!" the plant Digimon said putting her plant hands over her head and shaking it, "Just hand on for a moment there." As Emily was holding onto Canarymon as best she could, the plant Digimon sprinted under the man eating plant. Then with her three sharp claw like fingers, she began to tickle the plant. Emily could feel Canarymon had stopped moving in more. Then all of sudden, the plant sneezed out Canarymon and the two of them when flying and hit the ground. Canarymon had a scared looked on her face, her eyes had widen and was breathing deeply. Emily was hugging closely to Canarymon, she had almost had lost her back there.
"Are you two okay?" the plant Digimon asked as dashed over to the two of them. Canarymon looked at the plant Digimon and said,
"Y…y…yeah, we're fine." The plant Digimon then put her hands said sound sorry,
"I am really, really sorry for what happen back there. We really need to put up a warning sign near that plant!" Emily soon leg out of Canarymon and said,
"No, no. It's okay, we didn't ask if that plant was man eating or not. So it's our faults, not yours." She was trying to make the plant Digimon feel better, after all she did save Canarymon's life.
"Still, I feel really bad for not warning anyone about it," the plant Digimon said turning around as she pick something, "So take these, free of charge." She turned around and handing them two aqua flowers. Both Emily and Canarymon looked at each other, not knowing what to think.
"We can't take them from you," Emily said holding up her hands.
"Please, take them," the plant Digimon said again still sounding sorry. Emily and Canarymon did not know what else to do, so they took the flowers. They soon left the plant store, with the aqua flower in Emily's hair and Canarymon was still holding onto the flower. As they were walking, Canarymon looked up and said,
"Say Emily?" Emily looked down as she continued to say sound a bit embarrassed, "Thanks for trying to pull me out back there. It was really scary in there!" She sounded like she really meant it. Emily smiled and rubbed her partner feathery head a little bit.
"Hey, it's what I do. And you would have done the same thing if I was stuck as well," she said grinning down at Canarymon. Canarymon rubbed her head against Emily leg, and smiled a bit.
"Great! We found someone in our little gang," May said from behind Emily and Canarymon. They turned around to see May waving to them and Caterpillarmon was still resting on May's shoulders.
"It's you two," Emily said happily as she clapped her hands together, "What have you guys been up to since we got to his place?"
"Nothing much," May said weakly looking away a bit, "Just going around, glancing at all the stores that seem interesting." She was still a little embarrassed for pushing the alarm button. Caterpillarmon jumped down from May's shoulder and began to crawl over to Canarymon. As she was getting closer, she began to sniff the air around here.
"Say, Canarymon?" she began when she was near her. Canarymon looked at her as she continued, "I don't mean this in a bad way, but you smell very pretty. How is that?" Canarymon giggled lightly as she looked away a bit.
"That's is a funny story," she began to say slowly, "I nearly got eaten."
"WHAT!" Caterpillarmon burst out saying. Before Canarymon could explained what happen, they hear someone shout from behind them.
"OH THANK GOD, I FOUND YOU GUYS!" They all turned around to see Nate, his face a little flushed, still carrying Sealmon. Sealmon smiled at them and waved one of his paws at them.
"I wonder what got Nate worried about," Emily asked as she watched Nate get closer to them. She put her hands on her hip and continued, "Then again, that's normal for him."
"HEY GUYS, WHAT'S UP!" said another voice from behind them. They turned the other way to see Jake and Deemon running up to them. They still had a nervous looks on their smiling faces, for they were not sure if they were clear for what they did early.
"This does not seem good," May said crossing her arms as she watch Nate and Jake run faster to them. "If they keep up the same speed and direction, eventually they will…" CRASH, they both ran into each other and fell backward to the ground. "Run into each other." May finished putting a hand over her face as she shook her head. Emily quickly ran up to them to see if they were okay.
"Jake! Are you okay, is anything broken?" she asked very quickly. Jake was covered with some dirt, but he was okay. He close one eye and looked at her saying,
"Yeah, I'm fine." Then he open up his eye and looked at Nate saying, "I'm just wondering how Nate is." Nate too was covered with dirt as he sat on the ground. He had both hands over his nose, and was checking to see if it was broken or not.
"Is my nose bleeding! Oh please tell me my nose isn't bleeding!" he said all in a panic. He slowly moved his hands away from his nose to see that it was not broken. He sighed in relief that his nose was not destroyed. Deemon, who did not run into anything, ran over with other to see if Sealmon was oaky. For Nate had dropped him when the two of them collided. He was on his side, but then he rolled back over. He shook his head a few times, then grinned at all his friends that were around him.
"Hey, Sealmon," Deemon began, "You feeling okay, buddy."
"I feel fine, thanks for asking," Sealmon said with some whistling in-between. He still had the bread flute in his stomach. The other Digimon looked at each other when they heard the whistling. Deemon pointed one of his fingers at Sealmon and asked,
"Are you whistling while you're talking?"
"Yeah, isn't it cool!" he said all excitedly looking down at his stomach. Emily had already help Jake back on his feet and was brushing off some of the dirt that he had. Nate was about to get back up, when some near him said,
"Need a hand getting back up?" He looked up to see Kenta extending his hand out to help Nate up. Houndmon was right next to him, his tail wagging at all the excitement going on. Nate smiled at him as he took his hand.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it." With that, Kenta pulled Nate back on his feet. When Nate was back on his feet, he began brushing himself off.
"Hey, Kenta!" Jake called to him. Kenta looked to see Jake and Emily walk up to him. "So what did you do today?" Kenta shrugged his shoulders and answered,
"Not much, just looking around." Houndmon stopped his wagging and looked up at Kenta.
"Nothing much!" he exclaimed, "What about that kendo that we did back at the shop!" Kenta quickly blushed with embarrassment and looked to the side when Houndmon asked that question.
"What are you talking about, what's kendo?" Caterpillarmon asked tilting her head a little bit to the side. As Houndmon explained what they did back at the wood shop to the other Digimon, the kids all looked at Kenta. He still had an embarrassed look on his face as he tried to look away from the others.
"You know kendo, Kenta?" Iris said walking up to Kenta with Lynxmon right beside her. She had a sneaky grin on her face and her hands where on hips as she stop in front of him. Kenta looked away for her and scratched his nose a little bit.
"Well…yeah. You could say that," he finally said after a while.
"Can you teach us some of your moves then," Iris said looking back at the other where wanted to learn as well. Kenta shrugged his shoulders and answered,
"Okay, sure." There was a little smile on his face. Secretly he wanted to show off his kendo skill.
"That sounds really cool and all," Lynxmon began her hands out to the side, "What the heck is this kendo of what you speak of?"
"I can tell you that," Houndmon said stepping in on the conversation. Lynxmon pointed a claw finger at Houndmon and said coolly,
"If it's coming from you, I would find someone else to ask, mutt." When she was turning around, Houndmon was growling and shaking with angry.
"Now that's all said and down," Nate began wiping off the rest of the dirt off of him, "What do you guys want to do now?" Before anyone could answer, Jake's stomach growled loudly. They all looked at him, and he looked down at his stomach. Deemon jumped into the air and yelled,
"Must be lunch time!"
"Food, food, food!" Sealmon chatted swinging his head to side to side. They all laugh for they all agreed that it was time to eat. Emily suddenly snapped her fingers and said,
"Hey guys, I just realized something." They all looked at her as she continued, "Now that we are in a town, does that mean we have to pay for the food?" They all looked at each other nervously, for she had a good point there.
"Everyone, empty out you pockets and see what we got!" Jake said being to dig through his pockets. The Digimon all watched as the children pull all the money that they had with them.
"Oaky," May began looking at all their hands to see what they have, "If we take out account of the pocket lent, we have about 36 cents, a piece of string, and…an AA battery?" She looked at Nate, how smiled weakly and raised his shoulders.
"Great!" Iris complained putting back what she had back in her pocket and kicking some dirt around, "The first place we seen that actually have food we can eat, and we have no money to buy anything!" She gowned loudly as she looked up to the sky. Kenta crossed his arms and thought for a moment.
"There has to be a way to get some money around here," he began as she looked down at Houndmon, who looked back up to him, "But how?" They were all about to give up, when they heard a voice, that had a strong New York accent, said,
"So! Who want to make some money?" They all looked around to see a crowd of Digimon looking at something. Wondering what was going on, the kids and their Digimon all ran to see.
When they were in the crowd, they all had to push their way to get to the front. It was hard, for some of the Digimon either were on fire, had something sharp poking out of their bodies, or the smell so badly that you could not take it! Somehow they were able to make their way to the front of the crowd. At the front, there was a table all set up with three brown cups on top of it. And standing on the other side of the table was a very sneaky Digimon. At first looks it looked to be a chimpanzee, but its fur was an indigo color and it hands, feet, and face were a light tan color. He wore small round sunglasses over his eyes, and as he smiled there were three golden teeth in all in a row in the front. Hanging off him was a tan bag, that looked like it had some things in them. He chuckled at the crowed as he looked side to side.
"So!" he began holding his hands out, "Is the hand quicker than they eye, or is the eye quicker than the hand?" He looked around for a moment, looking for someone to take up the challenge.
"I'll take up you on that, my good sir!" a hawk Digimon with a feather sticking up from his head said. Some of the crowed mumbled a little bit as the chimp Digimon smiled as he rubbed his hands together.
"Good, good!" he said looking at the hawk Digimon, "Now let me explained how this work. You bet something, I put in under the cups, and if you guess where it is, I'll give you money for it! Yet if you lose, I keep what you bet. Sounds cool?" The hawk Digimon put his hands on his hips and thought for a moment. Then he took his hands off his hip and nod his head. Then he reached up and pulled the feather that was on his head.
"I'll bet this, sir!" he said sounding very confident as he handed the feather over. The chimp Digimon looked over the feather carefully before saying,
"Not bad, not bad. If you win I'll give you…say 30 Digi-dollars?" The hawk Digimon nodded, and the chimp smiled and licked his golden teeth as he place the feather under one of the cups.
"Ready?" he said putting his hand on the cups. The hawk Digimon nodded his head, he stared at the cup with great focus. With that, the chimp Digimon began to move the cups around the table. The crowd all watched with amazement, for the cups where in a blur as he move them. Then he suddenly stopped, and the cups looked untouched. The hawk Digimon looked careful as at each cup for a long time. Then he straighten up with a smile on his beak.
"It's clearly easy to see," he began his hand crossed, "My feather in under this one." He tapped the one of the fall left. The chimp looked at him, then removed the cup. When he took the cup off the table, there was no feather! The hawk gasped, for he was sure it was under that cup.
"Sorry, my good sir," the chimp said sounding sorry, yet he had smile on his face, "But your feather was under the center cup." He left up the center on to show everyone the feather. The hawk Digimon looked down in shame as he walked back into the crowd. As the chimp was putting the feather in his bag, the kids and the Digimon were all talking to each other.
"That Digimon is very sneaky," Lynxmon said slowly looking at the Digimon closely.
"I think we should get out of here, before something bad happens," Nate said ready to leave.
"Just let me scan him to see who he is," Jake said pulling out his Digi-vice. The chimp Digimon watched carefully as Jake scan him.
Name: Chimpmon
Type: Beast
Level: Child
Special Attacks: Fake Out, Shell Game
Info: Chimpmon is a very tricky Digimon. He is known to con anyone out of anything that will make his rich. Be very careful around this Digimon.
"Pardon me," Chimpmon said once Jake and the others where done Chimpmon file, "Could I see that for a moment?" He pointed at the Digi-vice that Jake had in his hand. Jake started at Chimpmon for a moment, after reading his info Jake had to be careful. He nodded once and handed it over to him. Chimpmon turned over the Digi-vice around his trebling hands, licking his lips all the time.
"What the heck are you doing!" Kenta yelled in Jake's ear.
"Don't' worry!" Jake yelled back at Kenta, "If he tries to run off with it, I'll tackle him!" Kenta shook his head as Chimpmon asked,
"May I ask, do you all have these strange devices?" He still had Jake's Digi-vice in his hands as he wanted for the answer. They all looked at each other, for this was a very strange question to ask.
"Yes," Emily finally said, "Why do you ask?"
"I was thinking," he began place Jake's Digi-vice on his table, "That we play my game with these things." He reached into his bag and pulled out 5 wooden black with sliding lids and wheels. "If you are all, alright with this, put you…things into the box here." He slide open one of the box to show that it was empty, "And if you win I will give you 50 Digi-dollars each device. What do you all say?"
"No, no, no, no, NO!" Nate yelled shaking both his head and waving his hands in front of his chest, "There is no way that we are going to play your game with our very important Digi-vices! So let's leave now, before he tries to trick us some more!" His words seem to echo around and some of the crowd clapped for him. Kenta place a hand on Nate's shoulder and nod his head at him. Nate smiled back, for they all agreed with him. Once Jake had pick up his Digi-vice, they all began to turn around. Chimpmon drummed his finger quickly on the table, trying to think of what to do next.
"Wait!" he yelled to them hold out a hand, "How about 75 each?"
"No thank you already!" May yelled back to Chimpmon, "We already gave you our answer so just give up already!" They were about to make their way away from the table, when Chimpmon slammed his hand on the table making it shake a little.
"This is my finally offer! 100 Digi-dollars each!" The kids and the Digimon all stopped when they heard this. Chimpmon grinned and licked his golden teeth some more. He had got them and all he had to do was to reel them in more.
"That's right," he said nodding his head a little bit, "600 Digi-dollars total. That's a lot of money right there." Jake looked down at Deemon for help. Yet, all Deemon did was gave Jake a weak smile. He sighed and looked at the others and asked,
"So what do you guys think?" There was a long pause as they all looked at each other for help. What really made their decision was the growling of their stomachs. Nate sighed and said,
"Okay, let's do this."
"Prefect!" Chimpmon exclaimed as he rubbed his hands together. So each of the kids place their Digi-vices into the open box. Chimpmon closed the box and looked at all of them. "So who's going to pick?" he asked with his grin.
"I'll do it," Jake said raising his hand. Chimpmon nodded as he place his hands on the boxes. Quick as a flash, he began to move them all around the table faster than before. Jake's eyes widen for he could not see witch box had their Digi-vies!
"You got this under control, right leader?" Iris asked in his ear.
"Of coerce he as it under control, right?" Deemon said looking up to Jake. Jake was too nervous to say anything. All he could do was give him a weak small smile. Chimpmon stopped his moving of his boxes and crossed his arms. He watched as a nervous Jake tried to make his pick with his friends telling him what to do.
"Go for the middle one!"
"No, that's what he wants you to think. Go with the one of far right!"
"I lost where was moving those things, but go with the 2nd one on the left." Sweat was forming all over his face as his friends gave them their advice. He did not know what to do. So he closed his eyes, and pointed to one at random. Chimpmon snicker to the side as Jake's pick.
"I am so sorry," Chimpmon began as he reached to open the box lid. Jake open his eyes and felt an angry stare from Kenta and Iris, a sad look on Emily and Nate face, and a still thinking look on Emily's face. The Digimon were tensing up a bit, for if this box was empty, they were going to attack Chimpmon. "But you chose…" He open the lid and…"RIGHT!" They all looked down to see their Digi-vices right where they left them! The kids all hugged Jake for making the right choices, and the Digimon dance with delight.
"He did it, he did it!" Deemon said dancing around.
"I know he could do it all along!" Houndmon said nodding his head.
"Then why were grinding you teeth this whole time, mutt?" Lynxmon asked winking at him. Chimpmon rubbed his finger on his head violently as the kids took back their Digi-vices.
"Fine! Here is your winnings!" he said angrily tossing a stake of sliver bills down on the ground near them. Jake picked up the Digi-dollars and held them up like a trophy. They all marched off to get something to eat, leaving Chimpmon behind crossing his arms and looking down at the ground. Soon the crowd had left as well leaving him all alone. Chimpmon left up his head showing a smile on his face. He was cackling to himself as he said, "Sucker!"
"Best meal I every had!" Jake said placing his fork and knife down on his empty plate. The kids and their Digimon had went to the first restaurant that their noses took them and had their finest meal they had in days. The smell of cooked, fried, or steamed food dance in front of their noses and made their mouths dripping with drool. They were all sitting around a large round table, their plates empty and the money that they had won was on top of the check that was place before them.
"You can say that again, Jake," Deemon said lazily as he leaned back in his chair, rubbed his puffed out stomach.
"I must say, this meal was worth every Digi-dollar we had won from that so called con artist," May said proudly as she wiped her mouth with her white napkin.
"And it's all thanks to our great leader, Jake. Who knew that he was keeping an eye on the boxes as they were going around that fast?" Caterpillarmon said looking right at Jake. Jake looked away with a little embarrassment and waved a hand at her. The last of the ice water that was in Kenta's glass dripped down from into his mouth. He place the glass down, making the ice clink with each other, and said to everyone,
"It's kind of funny. That someone like Chimpmon would make a mistake like that."
"Aw Kenta," Houndmon began, he was chewing on a bone as he continued, "Maybe he just finally meet his match." Kenta looked down at Houndmon for a moment. Then he shrugged his shoulders and nod his head at him. There was a sound of a chair being push back, and heavy footsteps marching over to the kids and their Digimon.
"I do not mean to eavesdrop," said a very deep rough voice, "But did you say that you won money off of Chimpmon?" They all turn their heads and their eyes widen at the sight of the Digimon that stood in front of them. For it was a 6 foot tall, muscle, lion man that looked down on them. His golden main stretched around his chin and went to the back of his head, and his blues eyes stared down at the kids and their Digimon with a look of wisdom and power. He wore black pants with an enormous blade sheathed on his black belt. The kids all just stared up at this ferocious man cat. Emily's mouth slowly open a she said in a soft voice,
"Um…Yes, we did meet Chimpmon not too long ago. And yes we did won money off of him. But do you minded if I ask you who are you?" The lion man nodded his head as he looked at Emily with his powerful blue eyes.
"Yes, I should introduce myself," he began reaching in his pocket and pulling out something. "My name is Officer Leomon of the DPS." He flip open his golden shied badge with the letters DPS carved in the shied. Canarymon gasped as she put her wings over her mouth.
"The Digimon Protective Squad! You Digimon go out into the world and protect from all kind a danger! I never thought I was going to meet one of you in my life!" Canarymon said quickly, her hand over her beak as she giggle a little bit. Leomon crossed his arms and gave he a little lion grin on his face.
"I'm impressed that you know about the DPS. But now onto more important matters; I've been after this con mon for months now. He had con a lot of Digimon out of their valuables and it is up to me to bring him to justice! Yet, every time I get close to him, he slips from my fingers!" He roar out of angry making the kids jump in their about a foot in the air.
"Officer Leomon, please claim down," Lynxmon said putting her paws out, "Maybe we can help. We can tell you the last place we saw him, if that would help?" Leomon claimed down a little bit and sighed. He looked right at Lynxmon and said,
"I thank you for your assistance, but I cannot live with myself if one of you got hurt trying to stop this trickier, Chimpmon." Lynxmon looked to the side, for she was blushed all around her black fur. Iris elbowed her on the shoulder and said with a smile,
"Do you want me to get a scan of him so you can look at him when he gone?" Lynxmon scuffed at Iris question, but nodded a little bit. Iris pulled out her Digi-vice and pointed it at Leomon. Yet, when she pushed the button the scan Leomon, nothing happen. Leomon raised an eyebrow and asked,
"What are you doing?" Yet she did not answer back. Her eye were forced on her Digi-vice as she tried to push harder on it. The other kids and their Digimon soon leaned over to get a better look at Iris Digi-vice. She was growling in frustration as she held her Digi-vice in both her hands. She pushed the scan button hard with both her fingers; then if burst into pieces. All the kids eyes widen as the pieces of the Digi-vice bounce on the table; the pieces looked rusted and bent in some places. Iris went pale and put her hands over her mouth to stop her from yelling. Sealmon slowly moved his head to face Iris and said,
"You broke it!"
"She didn't break it," Nate began picking up some of the pieces, "It's a fake!" They all pulled out their Digi-vices to get a better look at them. Now that they were looking closely, they could see that these Digi-vices were a faded color. Kenta smashed his fake down on the ground making break into pieces.
"THIS IS CHIMPMON'S DOING!" Leomon shouted banging his fist on the table making cracks appear.
"This is all my fault you guys," Jake said sadly looking down.
"No it's no!" Deemon said trying to make Jake feel better. Jake was not listen for he was blaming it all on him.
"It's not your fault, it's mine," Nate said pointing at himself, "If I didn't change my mind, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
"Let's come back to the blame game latter," Kenta said with a sigh, "Right now we have to find the little RAT and get back out Digi-vies!"
"I couldn't agree with you more," Iris said making fist in her hand, "I'm going to beat the living crap out of that guy for taking something that's mine!" Leomon's eyes looked at all of their angry faces. He clear his throat to get their attention and said,
"It looks like this case has taken into more hands. So why don't all join me in hunting down this Digimon!"
"I couldn't agree more!" Houndmon said growling a little bit.
"I'm with you guys, all in all. Yet there is just one little problem," Emily began scratching her head. They all looked at her as she continued, "We have no idea where he is now!" Everyone sighed, for Chimpmon would have been long gone by now. Probably selling their Digi-vices by now. It all seem hopeless, until May began to laugh. They all looked at her, for she was digging through Iris's fake Digi-vice pieces.
"This Digimon does not seem so cleaver to me now," she began picking up the screen of the fake Digi-vice.
"What do you mean?" Leomon asked wondering what she meant. May grinned as she held up the piece and said,
"I'm saying, that Chimpmon left an address on the back of this piece!" They all had to squint, but there was an address on the back of that piece!
"Way to go, May!" Nate yelled raising his hand into the air. May blushed a little bit as she looked down.
"Now then," Jake began leading the group out the door, "Let go get our Digi-vices back from the con mon!"
Just on the edge of town there was a dirt dark blue color cube like house. There was no window, only a wooden door and a neon sign that read "Pawn Shop." Inside the pawn shop there were all kind of items cages. From swords, to computers, and ever computer parts were in these cages. The place had a feeling of a jail, for there was little light in the place. There, near the gray counter and sitting on a stool, was Chimpmon. He was cackling loudly with a big smile as he had a teal bottle in his hand. He was talking to the shop own; what appears to be a dark blue bowling ball with bat like wings and wicked yellow eyes. It was on the counter tapping the Digi-vices with his crimson talons. A huge grin was no its face as he looked closer at the Emily's Digi-vice.
"Chimpmon, my clever friend, you defiantly hit the jackpot with these thing," the bat Digimon with a crackle and a grin.
"You're telling me!" Chimpmon began pointing a finger at the bat Digimon, "It was so easy to trick those fools out of these things."
"You can say that again," the bat Digimon said point one of his wings at him, "When you first came over here the other day and asked me to make some fakes for you, I thought it wasn't going to work. But now here they are! Here they are!" They both laughed loudly and their laugher was bouncing off the walls. Chimpmon stopped laughing and began to stir the liquor that was in his bottle saying,
"Tell me again how much each of these are worth?" The bat Digimon stopped his laughing and picked up Jake's Digi-vice. He looked at is closely as he said,
"If was take them apart, and sell them piece by piece, I'll say we are looking at about…5 thousand Digi-dollars apiece!"
"30 thousand Digi-dollars total!" Chimpmon began looking up at the ceiling, "I am really awesome!"
"So tell me," the bat Digimon began putting down the Jake's Digi-vice, "How you pull off these things?"
"Simple," Chimpmon began pointing his bottle at him, "The number one rule of scamming Digimon is never leave a bread trail that some half-wit moron can fallow!" He took a big swing of from his bottle as the bat Digimon began look to the side and chuckle a little bit. Then all of a sudden the door to the pawn shop burst open.
"Give us back our Digi-vices you evil monkey!" Jake yelled from the doorway. The kids, their Digimon, and Leomon were all standing in the door way, with serious faces looking at Chimpmon and the bat Digimon.
"This the DPS," Leomon began flashing his badge at Chimpmon, "You're under arrest for tricking innocent Digimon out of their valuables!" When they all came crashing into the pawn shop, Chimpmon spat out his drink onto the floor. He was in shock, for no one had even found out that where he hang out. He cough a little bit as he looked up to his friend for help. Yet, the bat Digimon was already flying into the back yelling,
"Good luck with this one, chump!" Chimpmon growled at the bat Digimon for leaving him behind. He wiped his mouth and looked at the kids as they began to come inside.
"So," Chimpmon began sounding nervous as he clapped his hands together and rubbing them, "To what do I own this little visit?" He was trying to think of a way for him to get out of this, alive. Iris pointed at Chimpmon and yelled,
"You know exactly what we are here for!" She punched her fist into her hand as she continued, "Give them back, or else!" Chimpmon gulp as he looked back at the counter. The Digi-vies were still sitting on the counter.
"Oh!" he said sounding like this was the first time he had seem them, "You mean these things, how silly of me." He was trying to sound innocent, but it was not working.
"We know that you're the one who tick us out of them!" Emily yelled sounding angry as she stomp her foot to the ground.
"Yeah! Give them back or will hurt you!" Nate yelled tossing fists in the air randomly. Sealmon shook his head and sighed,
"Don't hurt yourself, alright," he said under his breath. Chimpmon looked at the kids and the Digimon, then at the Digi-vices that were on the table. Then, an idea flashed through is head. He turn to them and grin at them, licking his golden teeth, and said,
"Okay, you all win. I'll give them back."
"Good, I'll take them from you," Kenta said seriously as he took a few steps forward. Chimpmon nods his head and went to the counter and picked the Digi-vices up. They were in his arms as he walked to Kenta. He was right near Kenta, and he had his hands out to take the Digi-vices form him, when Chimpmon smiled wickedly at him. He toss the Digi-vice up into the air and made everyone look up.
"Fake Out!" Chimpmon extended his hands out, and an powerful forces knocked, not only Kenta, but everyone down on the ground. Everyone grown, for the forces had knocked the wind out of them. Chimpmon took this time to jump up into the air and caught all the Digi-vices. He put them in his bag and landed right in front of the door. When he was at the open door, he sprinted out and into the town.
"Quickly!" Leomon said weakly as he stood up, "After him before we loss him again!" So they all quickly got back on their feet, and the chase for Chimpmon began.
Chimpmon was panting as he was running down the street. His chest was being to hurt a little bit from all the running that he was doing. He looked back to see the kids and the Digimon running close by him. Gulped as he pushed up his sunglasses that were falling off his face.
"CRAP!" he shouted, "WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE!" Out on the street there were hardly anyone out. There were a few Digimon out, but not enough to hide behind. He came to screeching halt as a smirk from on his face. He turned around to the kids and the Digimon, all the while licking his golden teeth.
"Shell Game!" They all had to stopped suddenly, for 5 dark brown shells appeared out of nowhere and landed near Chimpmon. He cackled lightly to himself as he left one of the shells up and hid himself under it. They all looked at each other as they quickly moved over to the shell the Chimpmon was hiding under. Yet before they could take another step, the shells began to move around each other. They were moving faster, faster and they almost looked a blur when they finally stops. Chimpmon was hiding under one of these shells, but witch one was he under? So they each took a shell to see where the con artist was hiding. Kenta was near one of the shells, fists in hands, ready to take out Chimpmon if he was under there. Houndmon had his teeth bared and his fur was standing on end ready to attack. Kenta kicked over the giant shell, and just as he did black smoke came out of the shell. Kenta covered his mouth as he began to cough.
"Kenta…*cough* are you *cough* oaky?" Houndmon asked covering his mouth as he looked around for Kenta. He saw Kenta, one hand over his mouth and the other giving him the thumbs up. Emily and Canarymon were on both ends of a shell, ready to pull it up. Emily nodded over to Canarymon and they both left up the shell. Out from the shell come out huge bubbles. Emily and Canarymon both looked at their reflection in the bubbles as they came closer to them. They came closer to them, and they began to pop loudly making the sound of gun shots.
"Who does this Digimon do that?" Canarymon said jumping at the sound of popping bubbles. Iris and Lynxmon had already kicked over their shell. However, when the shell was open, a wave of water came splashing over them. They stood there, soaking wet and dripping from head to toe to tail with angry looks on their faces.
"I really, really, hate that guy!" Lynxmon said seriously as she began to shake herself dry. May had found a stick, and had it wedge under the shell. Caterpillarmon was chewing one of her webs, ready to fire at Chimpmon if he was under that shell. May pushed down on the shell and it left open. When it was open, a storm of green leaves came rushing pass them. They leaves stuck onto their bodies as they stood there.
"Wasn't under there, and these leaves taste awful!" Caterpillarmon said spitting out one of the leaves that was in her mouth. Leomon stood in front of the last shell. He had saw what was under the other shells, and knew that this one was the last place Chimpmon could hid.
"I have you now!" he said extending his hand and picking up the shell, expecting to see Chimpmon. Yet, out of the shell there was a red boxing glove that hit Leomon right in the stomach. The wind was knocked out of him as he dropped the shell. He grabbed his chest with both hands as try to breath slowly. Jake, Deemon, Nate, and Sealmon had all stood behind and watched as their friends looked under the shells.
"Darn it!" Sealmon began slapping his paw onto the ground, "If he wasn't under the shells, then where did he go!" They all looked around, trying to see where Chimpmon as run off to. Then, Nate saw a flash of indigo going down an ally way.
"There he is!" Nate yelled pointed at where he say Chimpmon, "Jake, Deemon go after them!" Jake was about to run off to where Nate had pointed, when Deemon asked,
"Wait! Why do you want us to go?"
"Because you guys are a lot faster than me and Sealmon!" Nate yelled spitting on them, "Now go and get our Digi-vices back while we go and help the other." Both Deemon and Jake nodded as they ran after Chimpmon. Nate and Sealmon both dashed over to help out there friends.
"He's too far ahead of us!" Deemon yelled when they down in ally. Chimpmon was looked so far away and was continued to get farer away. Jake stopped and looked around to see what he could do. Then he saw it; the white ball that he and Deemon were playing with earlier. He quickly ran over and grabbed it saying,
"Oaky, I think I got something! I'm going to use this ball to try and knock him down and you run over and make sure he doesn't up, sound good?" Deemon nods he head and began to run down the ally way.
"Just don't miss, alright!" Deemon called out as Jake place the ball down. Jake took a few steps back to get a running start. He stuck out his tongue as he took aim at Chimpmon. Then he ran to the ball and gave it one is his power strikes. The ball went flying down the ally and whoosh past Deemon. Chimpmon looked back to see if anyone was falling him, when the ball came right at him. WACK, the ball bounced off his face as spit came out of his mouth. Chimpmon seem to be slowly falling down the ground. When he finally hit the ground, Deemon jumped right on his, making his eyes bulge out a little bit, making sure he did not escape.
"GOAL!" Jake shouted at his raised a fist in the air.
Once everyone was clean and dried off, they all ran as quickly as they could to Jake and Deemon. Only to find out that they had thing under control. The sun was starting to set on New Dataville. Chimpmon was in handcuffs and was looking with a disgusted look on his face.
"So what's going to happen to Chimpmon now, Mr. Leomon Sir?" Emily asked sounding a bit considered.
"Oh, don't you worry about that," Leomon said with a smile. He stared down at Chimpmon and added, "He will just be doing community service for the next year or two."
"COMMUNITY SERVICE!" Chimpmon shouted looking up to Leomon, "BUT I HATE THE COMMUNITY!"
"It seems fair to me, since you took these from us!" Nate said holding up his real Digi-vice. Chimpmon stuck out his tongue, only to be hit lightly on the head by Leomon's fist.
"Thanks a lot for helping us get out Digi-vices back," Kenta said with a bow.
"I should be thanking all of you. For without your help, I would still be looking for him," Leomon said putting a hand up.
"So now that's all said and done," Iris began her hands on her hips, "I guess we'll be seeing you around then?"
"Indeed," Leomon said as he grabbed Chimpmon by the shoulder and turning around. They all waved to Leomon, and he waved back to them as he left them. They all turn around and began to held back to their journey.
"You know what I'm wondering about?" May suddenly asked holding up her Digi-vice in her hand.
"What?" Jake asked as he leaned in closer to listen more. May lower down her Digi-vice and said,
"I'm wondering who made these things? And if they did make these things, or they the ones who brought us here?" May's questions seem to be echoing through their minds as they thought about it. None of them notice a Digimon smoking a cigarette walking pass them and giving them a serious, but wondering look in his eyes.
