Matt turns to see a splash of something going under the water. "There something in here," he said. He turns around trying to see the form.
"The steam is hiding it," Gabumon said trying to brush the steam away.
"We need to get out of here," Matt said as he turns to see a wall of vines around the hot spring. "Now I know why they speak of having to be here for a half an hour."
"So we are stuck," Gabumon said, "I guess I'll hunt him down."
"Just be careful ok," Matt said, "I don't know what I would do if you got hurt."
"Don't worry I'll be fine," Gabumon said, "Since we got here I have been feeling a lot stronger then I usually do."
"That may help you fight that thing if you need to," Matt said, "But it won't help us find wherever it went."
"Yeah you are right about that," Gabumon said and watches Matt get pulled under the water, "Matt where are you, MATT!"
A few moments later Matt comes out from under the water, "Matt are you ok," Gabumon asked, "It didn't hurt you did it?"
"Yeah I'm fine," Matt said, "Whatever that thing is ran into the back of my legs and caused me to fall into the water."
"Did you see anything while under the water," Gabumon asked.
"Not really," Matt said, "All I saw was a slight green glow moving away from me."
"That was probably the thing we are looking for," Gabumon said, "I really couldn't make out anything on it except two green emerald-like eyes."
Meanwhile with Mimi and Palmon, "That Matt," Mimi said leaving his room, "Running some place safe. When I find him, I'll..."
"Leave Gabumon to me," Palmon said.
Back at the spring Gabumon could only watch as his attack hit the vines. Vines quickly cover the holes that were made. "This is what they mean by not needing to worry about other digimon," he said.
"Gabumon get on that side of the spring and we'll try to flush it to the center," Matt said.
"Ok," Gabumon said, "But what are we going to do when we get it to the center of the spring?"
"We'll figure something out," Matt said, "Either it doesn't have any kind of attacks or it doesn't want to use them if it happens to be a digimon that is."
"Also how can we flush it into the middle if we can't see it from all the steam and smoke the hot spring is creating," Gabumon asked.
Matt and Gabumon try to figure out where it went when some bubbles about five feet in front of Matt are seen coming to the surface of the water, "Hello," is heard as some of the bubbles reach the surface of the water and pop.
"You heard that right Gabumon," Matt asked.
"Yeah whatever it is can talk so it could be a digimon," Gabumon said, "But I have never seen or heard of one that has green emerald-like eyes and has no destinct form."
"Let's try to find this thing and ask it some questions," Matt said.
"That sounds good to me," Gabumon said and grabs his head as he starts to feel strange, "I'm starting to feel really wierd."
"What do you mean," Matt asked, "Gabumon you're starting to glow."
Gabumon is about to say something but instead shouts out, "Gabumon digivolve to...Garurumon."
"Uh why did you digivolve," Matt asked as he's looking up at Garurumon, "We aren't in any danger as far as I can tell and I never told you to digivolve either."
"I don't know," Garurumon said, "It doesn't make any sense, unless this hot spring actually happens to be a data spring."
"What's a data spring," Matt asked confused.
"It's like a hot spring," Garurumon said, "But instead of there being water it consists of a form of liquid data, don't worry it won't hurt you."
"No," Matt said as franticly search his pockets.
"What's wrong?" Garurumon asked as he stops looking for the creature.
"I lost my digivice," Matt said, "It must have dropped out."
"Great, now we need to search for both," Garurumon said. He saw a glow under the water. He reaches for it but found that he just miss. "It seems to have your digivice."
"At least we won't have to look for my digivice when we catch that thing," Matt said, "It must have grabbed my digivice when it ran into me a few minutes ago."
"That or maybe you did drop your digivice and it picked it up," Garurumon said.
"Let's worry about that later," Matt said, "Right now we should worry about catching that thing so I can get my digivice back."
"Good point," Garurumon said, "This day is just getting stranger by the hour."
"You can say that again," Matt said.
Garurumon watch as the glow passed between his legs, "I'm too big to stop him."
"Try to block it," Matt said, "Get it cornered and I'll get it."
"I'll try," Garurumon said. Using the glow Garurumon guided the object to the edge of the spring.
Matt reaches into the water. "I got something," he said as he wraps his arms around something hard.
"We have to be careful," Garurumon said, "If it's a digimon we have no clue what kind of attacks it may have."
Matt starts to pull on what his arms are wrapped around, "Damn whatever this thing is it's heavy as hell," Matt said, "I would ask you to give me a hand Garurumon but with how big you are and the fact you don't have hands in this form will make it hard for you to help."
"Maybe I still can help in a way," Garurumon said as he puts his front paw on the side of the thing Matt has his arms wrapped around, "I'll push it from the side while you try to pull it out of the water."
"Ok this is just a rock," Matt said as they pull a rock about half his size out of the water, "So where did it go?"
"Matt it seems that the mud has clouded up the spring," Garurumon said. "I can't see the glow any more."
"Now we're stuck search for it by hand," Matt said rolling his eyes.
Meanwhile Kari walks into the rental shop. "Hi," the gatomon working there said, "Need anything?"
"I just want to know if you seen a blond human and a Gabumon," Kari said.
"Sure I did," the gatomon said, "I would be blind if I didn't after all they rented a jetski from me."
"Where did they go?" Gatomon asked.
"Don't know," the rental shop Gatomon said.
"They ran away off the island," Kari said.
"Those cowards," Gatomon hissed, "They prank almost every one of our friends and then they run from the punishment that they deserve."
"Don't worry Gatomon they will have a surprise waiting for them when they get back," Kari said, "I say we gather everyone else and wait in his room till he gets back here, because more then likely we won't find them if we went searching for them."
"I don't mean to be nosy but what did they do," the rental shop Gatomon asked, "It couldn't have been that bad could it?"
"Matt and Gabumon pulled pranks on most of our friends including his own sister," Gatomon said, "And then they have the nerve to deny it and run off with out owning up to what they did."
"Well if they did do it they should get what they deserve," the rental shop Gatomon said, "I may be able to help you since they did that."
"How so," Kari asked.
"All of the rentals here have tracking devices in case some one gets lost," the rental shop Gatomon said as she types in the number for the tracking device in the computer on the jetski Matt rented, "Hmm they must have completely powered the jetski down some how because it's not showing up, sorry I couldn't help you."
"That's ok," Kari said, "They will eventually have to come back here."
"I'll contact you if I see him," the gatomon said.
"Thanks," Kari said.
"Bye," Gatomon said as she follows Kari.
"I wonder what it would be like to have a human partner," the gatomon said, "I wonder what happened to Mary."
"Gatomon number 182," a screen behind her said.
The gatomon turns to the screen and said, "My lord."
"I have a new job for you," the host said, "You will follow that human and tell me all she does."
Holy Angemon turns off the screen, "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Knightmon asked.
"It's the only choice I have," Holy Angemon said, "Some how they jam my bugs when they are around. A spy is the only way I can learn what they are up to. It took me a while to track down Tai's new partner's best friend. I hope gatomon 182 can use it to learn what they are talking about."
"Are you sure we can trust Gatomon 182 with Mary being her friend," Knightmon said, "Didn't they start working for you around the same time?"
"Actually Gatomon 110 joined about two months before Gatomon 182 did," Holy Angemon said, "Which if I had known she was a spy from the start I would have done what I did to her when we first met, but this works out better since she made friends with one of my workers before I found out and I'll tell Gatomon 182 when she makes her first report that if I find out she's lying she will suffer a fate worse then death."
"I like the way you think Holy Angemon," Knightmon said.
"Hey Kari where are you going," Tai asked as he finally catches up with her, "We got to look at all of the possibilities of who could have done the pranks, I'm not saying it wasn't Matt and Gabumon but it still seems to obvious that they did this."
"I was just asking at the boat and jetski rental place if the Gatomon there had seen Matt and Gabumon," Kari said, "She did but she also has no clue where they went, but she did say she would tell us when she sees him again."
"We are going to wait in Matt's and TK's living with the others who got pranked till he comes back," Gatomon said, "Then we'll teach them a lesson they won't ever forget."
"That would be a good idea if it was them," Agumon said, "But we still can't be sure."
"How can't we be sure," Gatomon hissed, "All the clues point at Matt and Gabumon."
"Kari and Gatomon let me ask you a question," Tai said, "If you wanted to pull a prank on everyone else but don't want to be caught how would you make sure you wouldn't be?"
"Well I would make it look like someone else did it," Kari said, "That would be the best way to prank someone."
"Kari's right," Gatomon said, "But most of the time when it comes to stuff like this Matt and Gabumon tend to be really careless about leaving clues that end up telling us it was them."
"Then tell me at least two times that they have been this careless," Tai said.
"Oh I don't know," Kari said in a sarcastic tone, "Maybe when we went camping two years ago Matt and Gabumon pulled a prank on all of us and left the evidence that they did it all over their cabin and finally admitted it, also at the last Christmas party the prank they pulled with replacing the candy canes with ones that were covered in tabasco sauce, Matt still had the receipt on him when he got to the party. I'm just getting started so if you want I can keep going."
"Ok I see your point," Tai said, "But when was the last time Matt and Gabumon pulled so many different pranks in one day or night?"
"Hmm I guess you're right," Gatomon said, "Matt and Gabumon usually stick to one kind of prank to do to everyone, so they probably had some help this time."
Meanwhile the host and Knightmon watch Gatomon 182 looking around the corner at the row of apartments that Kari's and Tai's are a part of. "She's a poor spy," Knightmon said.
"I got that covered," Holy Angemon said.
"You,"avoice saidfrom behind Gatomon 182. She turns to see an Ogremon. He drops trays into her paws. "Take these to the kitchen."
"You don't..."
"GO!" Ogremon yelled stopping Gatomon 182. The feline nodded and walks away.
"So what's your plan?" Knightmon asked.
"I have a rule that any human that cares for one of my hurt digimon will get digi-points. If no human takes care of the hurt digimon that digimon must continue to work," the host said. He motioned his hands to make it look like they grab an invisible rod. When Gatomon 182 was in front of Tai's and Kari's apartment, he turns his hands and said, "Snap."
Kari heard a crash outside the place. She ran outside to see a gatomon crying on the ground. Her back right paw twisted in a way a leg should never be. "Hey," the Ogremon said, "Get back to work."
"She's hurt," Kari said.
"She still needs to work," the Ogremon said, "What are you going to do care for her."
"What are you going to do about it if I do decide to take care of her," Kari said.
"Waste your time taking care of her if you want to," the Ogremon said, "She's no use to us if she can't even work."
"What the hell are you doing," Kari yelled as she grabs the gatomon before the Ogremon could kick her, "She's already hurt bad enough with her leg being broken."
"So what," the Ogremon said, "Right now she is a worthless piece of trash and I do what I feel like to trash."
"No digimon whether they're hurt or not is trash," Kari said annoyed, "How can you be so heartless."
"It comes with the job," the Ogremon said in a careless tone as he starts to walk away.
A little later the nurse digimons finish the cast on Gatomon 182. "Which one of you will be taking care of her?" the nurse digimon asked.
"I guess I will," Kari said.
"We will start crediting you with Digi-points then," the nurse said.
"Why?" Gatomon asked.
The nurse lowers her head and said, "I don't like this but it's a rule. You know if a worker digimon is hurt they need to continue to work unless a human is willing to care for the digimon and that human will get digi-points for doing so." She handed Gatomon 182 to Kari. "Keep her resting on something soft. When the cast does come off her bone will be weak so keep her from jumping or else she may break it once more."
"I'll try to keep her from moving around too much when the cast does come off," Kari said, "I just wonder how she broke her leg?"
"Maybe she tripped over something or that Ogremon that was yelling at her caused this," Gatomon said.
"Let's go Gatomon," Kari said, "We can ask her when she wakes up."
The digimon in the clinic on the island watch as Kari and Gatomon leave with Gatomon 182, "So what do you think," one of the nurses said.
"With the way Gatomon 182's leg broke the host had to do," Maria said, "The only other time I have seen a break like that is when the host used his powers to break the arm of a digimon who disobeyed him before the humans and their partners were brought here."
"That's what I thought," another nurse said, "But what did she do to deserve having her leg broken?"
"Numbers 297, 51, 310, and 180 what happened to 182 is no concern of yours," The host's voice said coming over a speaker, "All you need to concern yourselves with is the well being of everyone there, now get back to work."
"Hey Kari," Sora yelled running up, "Did you find Matt?"
"No," Kari said, "He went somewhere on a jetski. And I got sidetracked. This one got hurt so I'm caring for her. If I didn't they could force her to continue to work."
"That's mean," Sora said, "I guess I'll work with the others on a prank."
"Come on, lets get this gatomon in a comfortable place," Kari said.
"Hey Kari where did you go," Tai asked as Kari and Gatomon walk into the room, "I was starting to think you went to find Matt using a jetski or something when I didn't find you in here when I got back."
"Actually I was at the medical center," Kari said, "I heard a crash outside of the room and when I went to."
"What happened are you ok," Tai asked cutting of Kari, "You didn't get hurt did you?"
"As I was saying when I went to check the noise I heard outside I found this Gatomon in front of our room with a broken leg," Kari said, "The nurses though were acting as if they know something that they didn't want to tell me and they also told me that if no one takes care of her she will be forced to keep working."
Agumon walks up to Kari, "Isn't this the same Gatomon that was working in the boat rental shop," Agumon asked, "I have seen other Gatomon working for Holy Angemon but only the one from the boat rental shop had his mark on her left shoulder."
"If this is the same Gatomon what was she doing in front of our room," Gatomon asked.
"I think we should watch her," Tai said, "I'll just listen for her thoughts."
"She's seems to be waking," Kari said, "Some one get a blanket."
Gatomon 182 slowly opens her eye. "I need to get back to work." A hand pushes her head back to the pillow.
Still drug all she knows is someone said, "You're hurt."
"I need to get to work or I'll get punish," Gatomon 182 said.
"No you're not allowed to move."
"I don't want to be..." She stops when she clearly sees a human holding her down. 'She's the one I was ordered to spy on,' she thought. Tai frowns at that thought but then smiles. "Are you going to care for me?" Gatomon 182 asked as she looks at her cast covered leg.
"Yeah I am," Kari said, "The rule about you having to work even if you're hurt is stupid, doesn't he realize that if you keep working with your leg broken that it will cause permanent damage."
"Do you just call yourself Gatomon or do you go by a name like some of the other digimon here," Agumon asked.
"Well the host calls me Gatomon 182 because it's easier for him to keep track of all of his workers by using the number of when we joined and the type of digimon we are," Gatomon 182 said, "When he gets annoyed or angry he just calls us by the numbers he gave us, I do have a name but it kind of sounds stupid."
"I doubt it will be stupid," Tai said, "So you can tell us."
"Well my first name is Ice," Gatomon 182 said, "But the part that makes it sound stupid is my last name which is Cream, originally I just called my self Ice but some otherdigimons after awhile started calling me Ice Cream and I guess it just stuck."
"Ice cream would be yummy right now," Mary said.
"A little may help you," Kari said as she turns to Ice, "Since they are paying for me to care for you."
Meanwhile Matt breathing heavily keeps searching for the glow. Then they hear, "What's taking so long."
"What does it mean?" Garurumon asked.
"I think it's trying to wear us out," Matt said.
"Well it seems to be doing a pretty good job at that if that's what it's actually trying to do," Garurumon said, "What I don't get is why I don't feel any stronger then when I'm in my in-training form at the moment."
"Maybe that crystal has something to do with it," Matt said, "Whatever he's doing with my digivice is probably the cause."
"I hope we find it soon," Garurumon said, "Because I'm starting to feel a little dizzy."
"Don't worry I'll keep looking for it," Matt said, "You can rest if that will help Garurumon."
"I guess I could do that," Garurumon said, "Whatever it really is hasn't harmed us yet so I don't think it will if it is a digimon."
"I hope you're right about that," Matt said, "Why it took my digivice in the first place I have no idea."
"That should be the first thing we ask when we finally catch it," Garurumon said, "Hmm it looks like the vines are starting to retract, if we don't catch it with in five minutes from the time they completely disappear I think we may be stuck in here for another half hour or so."
"They're won't be a point in leaving if I don't have my digivice," Matt said.
Garurumon drops into the water. "Sorry, Matt," Garurumon said, "I just can't stand up anymore."
"Just keep a feel out for it," Matt said.
"Right," Garurumon said.
Meanwhile Sora and the rest of the group laugh as they finish the prank for Matt. "It's a bit over the top," TK said, "You placed traps on everything. The shower sprays paint. The beds wrap around them. The remote shocks anyone who tries to use it and that's just a few."
"Shut up," Everyone else yelled.
"You been pleading for us to stop the entire time," Sora said.
"Well Matt is my older brother," TK said defensively, "I know he deserves payback but in my opinion we shouldn't do all of this."
"We said shut up TK," Ken yelled, "If you keep at it I think the others will agree when I say we tie your arms behind your back and put duck tape over your mouth so we don't have to listen to your complaining every few minutes."
"Even though it sounds mean I agree with Ken," Mimi said as the others grin and nod their heads in agreement with what Mimi just said.
"So you can either shut up or we'll make you shut up," Joe said, "I still don't know how they managed to wrap my arms and legs up with out waking me."
"I'm not surprised they managed to do that," everyone else said, "You are a heavy sleeper Joe and half the time we have had to pour water on you to wake you up," Palmon said.
"Fine I'm going somewhere else then," TK said, "Come on Patamon."
"I want to be here when Matt and Gabumon get their payback," Patamon said.
"Fine be that way," TK said annoyed, "I'm going to my room because I don't want to go anywhere alone."
The others watch as TK enters her room, "Do you think we were being a little to harsh to TK," Sora said, "Doesn't TK have her D-terminal in her room, she could warn Matt and Gabumon about what we are planning for them."
"I'll go grab it," Patamon said.
"No need to worry yourselves about that," Ken said as he pulls it out from under the couch, "I put mine and TK's under the couch this morning, I also figured that she would be pleading for us to stop so I set her door up to lock her in there for about five hours, all she can do is go into the restroom other then that she can't leave the room now."
Ice licks her ice cream cone. "I hate being called Ice Cream but I like the stuff," she said.
"What's its like working for him?" Kari asked.
"He doesn't think highly of gatomons and agumons," Ice said, "We're stuck doing the low end jobs and never get promoted. I should work at the rental shop and the theme park but they force me to carry heavy things all over the place a lot of the time."
"Right now, your only job is to heal," Kari said.
"I really can't do anything with my leg like this," Ice said, "But if you hadn't said you would take care of me I would still be forced to work and the host wouldn't even allow me the time to get my leg put in a cast usually."
"So how did you break your leg anyways," Gatomon asked as she walks back into the room.
"I don't know," Ice said, "I was carrying some trays to the kitchen and with out any warning as I was walking I felt a searing pain in my right leg right before I collapsed."
"Could the ogremon have caused you to break your leg," Kari asked, "He was the only one outside this room when I found you."
"No he didn't do anything except hand me the trays I was carrying," Ice said, "He was watching me from the end of the walkway and when I collapsed he walked over and started yelling at me to get up and get back to work."
"That's strange," Kari said.
"Unlock this door," TK yelled.
"Sorry," Sora said, "Some times you need to use live bait."
Meanwhile with Matt and Garurumon, "Matt, the vines are back," Garurumon said.
"So is the glow," Matt said. He started to reach for it once more.
"Well then we are staying here for another half hour," Garurumon said, "This would be relaxing if I didn't feel the way I do at the moment."
"Took long enough," Matt heard as he wraps his arms around the glow, "Aw crud."
"I finally got caught him," Matt said, "Now to see what it is and why it took my digivice." Matt then pulls the crystal out of the water and nearly falls backwards as he loses his balance from it being a lot lighter then he expected it to be.
"Matt are you ok," Garurumon asked, "It didn't hurt you did it?"
"No I'm fine," Matt said as he regains his balance, "I just wasn't expecting it to be this light, now give me back my digivice," he said as he snatches it from the crystal.
"Do you mind not calling me an it," the crystal said, "I have a name and I'm just as much male as you are, can I see your digivice for a moment so I can undo what I did to your friend unless you want him stuck like that until you figure out how to undo it yourself."
Matt looks at the digivice and is confused when he sees it flashing one hundred, "I'll let you see but if you hurt him then you will suffer," Matt said.
"Hey I am not going to hurt anyone," he said.
"Aright," Matt said ashands the crystal his digivice.
"Thanks," he said as he dove underwater.
"I'll get it," Gabumon said, "At least I'm feeling better."
"Let's get this rock," Matt yelled.
"Now where did he go," Gabumon asked and then de-digivolves to his in-training form of Tsunomon, "Uh Matt I don't think I'm going to be of much help like this."
Matt turns to Tsunomon, "Ok just stay on one of the rocks then," Matt said and watches as Tsunomon digivolves all the way to Garurumon, "Great he must be playing with my digi-vice."
"This is going to make things more interesting," Garurumon said, "I hope we catch him soon."
"Me and you both buddy," Matt said, "I hope he doesn't damage it or anything."
"I think we have to worry more about him playing with it," Gabumon said, "This is really getting annoying."
"It's not bad enough we have everyone accusing us of pranking them," Matt said, "Now we have to chase after a digimon if it actually is a digimon who seems to think my digivice is a toy."
"It could be worse," Gabumon said.
"Gabumon that simple talking about a problem," Matt said searching for the digimon, "And it doesn't help."
"Alright," Tsunomon said, "How can I help? I'm too busy trying to keep from going under."
"Alright," Matt said.
"This is getting really frustrating," Garurumon said, "One minute I'm in my rookie form and the next thing I know I'm in one of my other forms."
"Don't you think I know that," Matt said only for Punimon to land in his arms, "I would ask you if your ok Punimon but I know that you can't talk like this."
"Puni pun puni," Punimon said.
"I think you should stay on this rock," Matt said as he set Punimon on the rock next to him, "I don't want you to move until I have my digivice back."
"Ok if you say so," Gabumon said, "I can understand why you don't want me to move with me changing from one form to another."
Meanwhile with Sora and the others, "Looks like all we can do is wait for now," Ken said, "We have no clue when he will be back."
"I thought you were kidding about tying me up," TK yelled.
"We're getting Matt back," Sora yelled, "Izzy place hidden cameras."
"I like to be scratched behind the ear," Ice said as she rests her head on Kari's lap.
"When will Gatomon 182 contact me?" The Host asked.
"When it's a good time," Knightmon said.
Yolei walks up to them. "Maidmon what do you have to report?" Holy Angemon asked.
"There has been a mix up while cleaning the human clothes," Yolei said as she scratches the collar around her neck. "They didn't mix the clothes just who owns what."
"Not that big a deal," the host said, "They can all continue wearing the swimwear I gave them till the problem is solved if the arena is fixed before then that is, now go tell the ones responsible to get this problem sorted out."
"Yes sir," Yolei said as she goes to do what she is told.
The host then turns to a monitor, "Datamon how much longer till the arena is up and running again," he asked, "It has been almost three days since I told you to fix it."
"It takes time boss," Datamon said, "I think it will either be fixed tomorrow or the day after."
"It better be or else," the host said.
"What do you mean by or else," Datamon asked nervously.
"You're smart," the host said, "So figure it out yourself."
"Why didn't you tell him what you would do," Knightmon asked after Holy Angemon turned off the mic and monitor.
"Because left to figure it out on his own," the host said, "Datamon will come up with an even worse punishment for himself then I could probably think of since he knows his own fears."
"Ah so he will scare himself to the point he'll get it done as soon as he possibly can," Knightmon said.
"That's right," the host said, "The truth is I don't care how long it takes for the arena to be fixed as long as it gets fixed is all that matters, but Datamon and my other lackeys that are working on fixing it don't need to know that."
"You just want to keep them from slacking off," Knightmon said.
Meanwhile Matt and Gabumon heard from under the water, "Finished."
"Got it," Matt said pulling his digivice from the spring.
"That's great," Gabumon said.
"Hey." A Crystal shaped like an Agumon's head came from the water. "That's mine," he said as he stares at the digivice with large green eyes, "You can't steal it."
"It's mine," Matt said.
"No it's not," the digimon said coming to Matt. Matt smiles and plays with his digivice. "Hey," the digimon now a Koromon said.
"Huh what happened to him," Gabumon asked, "Why did he de-digivolve?"
"Because I caused him to," Matt said, "He seems to be linked to my upgraded digivice."
"Change me back to the way I was," Koromon yelled, "It is kind of hard to stay afloat when I'm just a head."
"I think it would be better to leave you like this for now," Gabumon said as he picks up Koromon and puts him on one of the rocks, "As a Koromon you can't cause as much trouble."
"You would be surprised how much trouble I could cause with out arms or legs," Koromon said, "To bad you will not be able to leave for another half hour."
"What is that supposed to mean," Matt asked and turns towards the place they came in at only to see the vines sealing it off again, "Great I was hoping to leave this time, you better behave Koromon or I'll de-digivolve you all the way to a digi-egg so you can't cause anymore trouble."
"I will stop but only if you digi-volve me back to my rookie form," Koromon said, "I won't try to trick you into giving me back my toy again."
"Let me tell you something Koromon," Matt said, "This digi-vice is not a toy and it belongs to me not you, I have had this since I first came to the digital world six to eight years ago."
"You dropped it," Koromon said.
"Tell us about you," Matt said.
"Why should I?" Koromon asked, "You stole my toy."
"MY digivice is able to make my partner Gabumon digivolve and de-digivovle," Matt said, "I can use it to make you de-digivolve so you put the rest together."
"You do not scare me," Koromon said, "I am running low on energy that is why I de-digivolved."
"I guess you want to play hard ball," Matt said as he used his digivice to cause Koromon to de-digivolve into Botamon, "I'll change you back if you agree to tell us about yourself."
"Fine just change me back," Botamon said surprising Gabumon.
"That's the first time I have heard a digimon at the baby level use actual words," Gabumon said in a surprised tone.
"Botamon didn't talk Gabumon," Matt said, "Some how he's relaying what he wants to say through my digivice."
"That shouldn't be possible," Gabumon said.
"Well it is," Matt said as he digivolves Botamon back into Koromon, "Now are you going to tell us about yourself or not?"
"Yeah I will tell you about myself," Koromon said, "But you have to promise me something first."
"What do you want now," Matt said annoyed, "If you want me to give you my digivice then no."
"That is not a bad idea but that is not it," Koromon said, "What I want you to promise is that you can get me something to eat when that wall of vines disappears again, I haven't eaten anything in a few days."
"Fine that I can do," Matt said, "But I'll only keep that promise if you tell the truth and don't try to run off with my digivice again."
"Why is it you Koromon always think with your stomach half the time," Gabumon asked.
"Hey that is not true Gabumon," Koromon yelled, "How would you feel if you had not eaten in two days?"
"Gabumon and Koromon stop arguing," Matt said, "Now tell us about yourself Koromon and Gabumon please don't interrupt him while he's telling us."
