Digital Team in Special World
Sora: And we're back.
Lunar Wave: Sorry for the long wait for this chapter but my computer went funny for two weeks now, in which I had to repair it.
Willis: You know, I was wondering why Lunar included me in this story.
Kenta: Well, you never know, with his twisted mind.
Lunar: I heard that Kenta.
Kenta: (Gulps) He he... I heard you made Kouji dance the whole of last chapter...
Marcus: And he could probably do the same to us.
Keenan: The Digimon were left outside...
May: He was afraid that we would destroy the dialog parts again.
Barry: Not my problem. But I will fine him because he made me leave my Pokémon outside too.
Ruby: (Ignoring everyone) Lunar Wave will never in his whole life own me or any other character in this story. I repeat, NEVER!
Yuu: OK, Disclaimer finished, so Back to the story.
Chapter Start
Division 4: To Discover Old and New Abilities
Chapter Division Start
(Fire Terminal)
"Look, is she waking up?" A voice was heard nearby." Dawn's eyes opened slowly to see a yellow face and a white face leaning near her bed. "I think she's awake already."
"Neemon, do you want me to hit you? Of course she's awake!" The white Digimon (Dawn was sure it is a Digimon.) said to the yellow one. Then he turned towards Dawn who was trying very hard to remove her bedhead again. "Ummm... Can I help you?" He said.
"Never mind." Dawn put down her brush. She looked around to see Piplup and asked her to bubblebeam her hair.
"Ummm..." The white one started, shocked at seeing her make her partner attack her hair. "Hello, my name's Bokomon. The idiot over here is called Neemon."
"Hi!" Neemon waved at Dawn, not minding the idiot remark, causing Dawn to sweat- drop. "Can you please tell me your name? It'll be quite helpful if you do considering we only just met. And it would also be nice if you help me with your Digimon. ("Piplup!" Piplup protested at Bokomon.) He seems to not really be the most trusting guy in the world."
"My name's Dawn. And this is Piplup, my..." Dawn started while sitting down but was cut off.
"Yes, we guessed that is his name, though at first we thought his name was Pipiplup, but my, he has such a poor vocabulary if all he could say is the syllables of his own name." Bokomon said, intrigued.
"I guess only the trainers of the Pokémon can really understand them." Dawn sweat- dropped as Piplup continued to shout to Bokomon an interesting gibberish of syllables with a very interesting translation that Dawn would rather not tell Bokomon. However, Bokomon didn't mind the blue penguin shouting at him. In fact, he is more intrigued by Dawn. 'Let me guess, the standard question that almost everyone outside the Pokémon team asked.' thought Dawn.
"What do you mean by Pokémon?" Bokomon asked, flipping out a pen and his Book of Knowledge from his pink waistband. ('I was right!' moaned Dawn.) Is that what you call this little penguin in the real world?"
"Umm... Isn't real world too general? As far as we're concerned, every world is real, right?" Dawn asked wearily.
"Well yes... The Digital World IS as real as the Real World," Bokomon told Dawn. "But Real World is merely the name we came up of for the world inhabited by humans."
"Okay, I give." Dawn said, and then she thought for a moment. "So, which sovereign guards over this world?"
"It is not 'guards', it's more like 'presides.' But as for your initial question, it will be Ebonwumon, the Black Tortoise of the North, as people call him." Bokomon told her.
"So we are in the Northern Quadrant?" Dawn brightened up. "Phew, I thought that beam would send me to somewhere far away. Alright, can you take me there Bokomon, to the land of the sovereigns?"
"I'm afraid neither I nor anyone in the 'Northern Quadrant' as you call it can even contact Ebonwumon, let alone get there. Apparently, some dark force appeared out of nowhere and broke the connection between this Digital World and its protector. We are on our own. Without the Legendary Warriors in the Real World or in this Digital World, no one can feel safe. Oh, I forgot, you probably never even heard of the Legendary Warriors, so..." Bokomon was cut off by Dawn.
"By legendary warriors, you mean Takuya, Kouji, Tommy, Zoe, Kouichi, and... what was that fat guy's name?" Dawn wondered out loud.
(Meanwhile in the Pokémon Anime World...)
"Ummm... Palmer... There's a reason for this..." stuttered Ash.
"And that is..." Palmer began but a sudden interruption happened.
"JP sneezed so loudly it broke out the tense atmosphere around everyone. He sheepishly smiled. "Sorry..."
(Back in the Fire Terminal)
"I think his name is JP." Neemon said.
"It's not 'I think' It 'IS' JP, you moron!" Bokomon pulled Neemon's pants by the garter and released it with a ferocious snap, causing Neemon to flinch a bit then suddenly be normal again. Piplup looked at Dawn with a look asking, 'Is this normal?'
"Apparently." Dawn answered. Then she looked out of the door to see the others. She saw Izzy, Mimi, and Davis, Takato, Ryo, Blue, and the new boy 'I think it was Shou?' thought Dawn. She also saw Palmon (who was carrying a tray of food), Guilmon (who was trying to reach the tray), Peckmon (who was shielding the tray from Guilmon), Tentomon, Veemon and Monodramon (The three barely stopping Guilmon from grabbing one of the food found on the tray!).
"We all slept in different bedrooms." Mimi told Dawn. "Here Dawn, you hadn't have lunch yet, have you?" She smiled, nudging for Palmon for Palmon to place the meal on the bedside table. "Okay, let's all go back to our beds and get some more sleep. I feel so tired."
"You might but we're staying, Mimi." Blue smiled and plopped down into the chair nearby. Mimi and Palmon left while everyone else stayed in the room. Dawn was helping herself to her meal. For a while, everyone else stayed in the bedroom. For a while, everything was quiet, save for Guilmon's constant begging for food. They didn't want to disturb meals so they waited till Dawn finished hers. Soon Dawn finished her meal.
"So let's get back to the unanswered question." Bokomon promptly began. "What is Pokémon?" This really shook up Gold considering it was the one question which caused the disruption between the two groups of Digimon and Pokémon. This time, Izzy explained. Dawn, Blue and Gold really were bewildered at this. But they understood completely after Izzy explained to them that he was only explaining to see if he got the idea of Pokémon right. So they listened intently. There were only a few errors in his version of the explanation which happened to be mostly about battles. (Gold nervously laughed)
"Well I see… But these 'trainers', as you call it, they seem to be battling for sport, using Pokémon. That seems to sound like slave labor." Bokomon questioned at Dawn, Blue and Gold. The three instantly got tense. Humans doubting them was hard enough but a Digimon doubting them could be catastrophe considering how heavy that book he had been writing on and his ability to carry it in one hand.
"Well that's why we are called trainers eh… We train." Gold hopefully told Bokomon, 'because another 'Cody' is not their idea of having their Digital Experience to be less hard. Bokomon didn't pursue the subject seeing the unease of the Trainers. However, this caused doubt to from in his heart about these new humans.
"Was or is there anything odd in the Digital World happened, apart from the loss of connection?" Izzy questioned, knowing how well the Pokémon Team hated to conflict with allies (Izzy was sure Bokomon and Neemon is an ally. He has heard previously from Takuya and the Northern Digis about those two so fondly.). Davis went to look at the mirror on the wall, his back towards the others. The rest decided to sit down on the floor, interested at the topic.
"Well..." Bokomon started but stood there for a while but his jaw slacked open
"Well what?" Davis turned around, only to be grabbed by the collar by Bokomon and dragged him out of the room.
"Davis!" Veemon chased after the two. The rest sweat- dropped at this scene.
"So Neemon anything else?" Izzy inquired.
"Hmmm..." Neemon started thinking. Five minutes later.
"You've been thinking for five minutes now." Izzy impatiently said.
"Davis, the D-Terminal." They heard Veemon say.
"Oh yeah." They heard Davis say rush away. He rushed past the door way again thirty seconds later.
"That's weird." Neemon said.
"Any other brand of weird?" Izzy said wearily.
"Wait." Neemon started thinking again. Ten minutes later, Izzy grew weary of waiting.
"Well, what?" Izzy said impatiently.
"Well, will you call the THAT as weird?" Neemon pointed out the window. Apparently, it's a pretty peaceful day. The sun quietly loomed over the scenery, as quiet as the scenery itself.
"What's weird?" Izzy asked.
"No one is on the streets..." Shou said.
"Yeah, that IS weird." Blue shifted her new pair of Silph Scopes and checked the scenery. A slight distortion happened but nothing major. She gasped. The scene she is seeing is not what Izzy was seeing outside the window.
"That is an illusion!" Blue shouted.
"Super Shocker!" Tentomon shot his attack through the window. They gasped as the electricity sparked the illusion out of view. What they saw through the window was not peaceful at all. Crusadermon stood there, her eyes glowing red as though controlled, and her hand clutching on a Gazimon.
"Sp...SPARE ME!" begged the frightened Digimon. But his cry for mercy was ignored and was punched. Pain seared into his body and released his Fractal Code, his life force, ready to be taken away by the opponent and leaving this pitiful body to revert into a Digi-egg.
"So cruel..." Dawn grasped on the chair she was leaning on tightly.
"I know what you mean..." Gold mumbled.
"But we can't just sit here and do nothing!" Ryo stood up and jumped through the window. Monodramon followed suit.
"Biomerge Activate!" Ryo yelled, activating his D-Power's strongest and most powerful function, to merge the human and Digimon it connects, both body and mind.
"Monodramon Biomerge to..." Monodramon was engulfed in the light created by the Digivice.
"Justimon!" Gallantmon rose into battle, prepared for the worst.
"Oh dear..." Takato sighed, his D-Power on hand as well.
"Biomerge Activate!" Takato yelled.
"Guilmon Biomerge to...
Gallantmon!"
"Ok!" Gold pulled out his Poké balls, prepared to unleash his Pokémon on his opponent. "Explotaro, Politaro, we're fighting Mega Level now, and goodness knows what we will be feeling afterwards, happiness or pain?"
"Maybe both, Gold." Blue said, putting out her own Pokémon and releasing Blue's team. "Blasty be on the assist. I don't know if we will be able to par in strength." She looked around for a way to attack.
"Piplup, Bubble beam. Buneary, Ice Beam. Togekiss, Aura Sphere. Pachirisu, Spark. Mamoswine Take Down. Cyndaquil, Flame Wheel!" Dawn attacked immediately. The Bubble Beam merely diverted the pink knight's attention to her. The Ice beam froze her heels on the ground but Crusadermon continued walking towards Dawn. Togekiss's Aura Sphere damaged her slightly making her flinch. Pachirisu, however was completely ignored even if the Spark hit its mark. Cyndaquil received the same amount of notice as Pachirisu. It was Mamoswine who was able to make her flinch backwards, but that only made it worse.
"You dare defy me?" The pink knight asked walking towards Mamoswine, who was preparing for another take down attack. He charged straight on Crusadermon, hoping to make her flinch again. But alas, no luck. She merely held out her arm which held on Mamoswine to keep him from reaching her main body. Then she prepared her fist.
"Look out, Mamoswine!" Dawn shouted but the Pokémon was unable to get away.
Crusadermon crashed her armored arm into Mamoswine. But instead of a sound indicating pain coming from Mamoswine, it was more like the sound you would hear if you were hit in a Pillow Fight. No wonder, just where Crusadermon's right hand should be is a Pink Pillow. The Pink Pillow instantly melted back into Crusadermon's hand.
"What happened?" Crusadermon asked, bewildered. Dawn didn't understand this event either, but decided to use this moment of weakness to attack.
"Mamoswine, Ice Shard!" Mamoswine summoned a ball of ice and hurled it at Crusadermon, effectively causing damage and freezing her body. However, Crusadermon broke through the ice only to be greeted by Gallantmon.
"Lightning Joust!" Gallantmon striked an electrical beam onto Crusadermon, hitting her square in the stomach, while Justimon prepared his attack and ran towards Crusadermon.
"Justice Kick!" Justimon kicked the back of Crusadermon, damaging her more.
"Politaro, Brick Break!" Gold urged at his Politoed, who immediately obeyed. It hit the Crusadermon but it was thrown back.
"Grr... Let's go Explotaro! Blast Burn!" Gold shouted, his Typhlosion preparing the ultimate fire attack.
In another direction, Blasty prepared Hydro Cannon on order of Blue. The two unleashed both attacks at the same time.
"Powerful moves, for otherworldly creatures." Crusadermon said, her armor showing scorch marks where Gallantmon and Typhlosion hit, and a dent from Justimon's kick and Blasty's Hydro Cannon. "But I'm surprised at you, brother. Why are you going against your brethren? We are fellow Royal Knights, after all..."
"We are not fellows for you hurt innocents!" Gallantmon said.
"Brother, if you will not join us, I shall be forced to destroy you!" Crusadermon said her body-sash blades ready for his answer.
"Forget it!" Gallantmon said, his shield rose.
"Very well. Spiral Masquerade!" Crusadermon ran towards Gallantmon and wildly slashed him in different directions.
"Ugh..." Gallantmon knelt at the slashes.
"Die, TRAITOR!" Crusadermon said, readying her right arm for the kill.
"V-Laser!" A voice emanated from nowhere, and suddenly, a beam hit Crusadermon, distracting her and letting Gallantmon escape danger.
"Sorry we're late!" Davis ran towards the others, carrying Bokomon on his back.
"Don't worry, better late than never." Gold shrugged, his Typhlosion preparing to use Blast Burn again. It again hit and damaged Crusadermon again.
"Where's Mimi?" Davis said searching the area.
"Over here!" Mimi said, coming out of the door, Palmon with her.
"Palmon digivolve to...
Togemon digivolve to...
Lillymon!" Palmon evolved straight to ultimate. (How she did it is unknown)
"Ok, Flower Cannon!" Lillymon formed a cannon with her hands and shot at Crusadermon, who barely felt this.
"Urgh..." Davis scanned Crusadermon. Then an idea hit him.
"Mimi, what does that flower thing you did to the Cherrymon back in New York do?" Davis asked.
"You mean, Flower Wreath? It counters evil viruses on good Digimon, why?" Mimi answered.
"Try that." Davis said, pointing at the red eyes on Crusadermon.
"You heard him, Lillymon. Flower Wreath!"
"Flower Wreath!" Lillymon wrapped a wreath around Crusadermon. The red eyes went out.
"Ugh... What happened?" Crusadermon held her hand onto her head.
"You were being controlled by a virus." Lillymon answered.
"Is that you, Gallantmon?" Crusadermon looked at Gallantmon, long and hard. Then she shook her head. "I guess not. Gallantmon. Can you fly?" Crusadermon asked.
"No." Gallantmon answered.
"Well then. I'll help you gain a steed." Crusadermon went to Gallantmon and held her hand onto his Hazard sign. Then something was released from Gallantmon. Grani was returned by Crusadermon into the world.
"Grani. We thought we'd never see you again." Gallantmon said softly.
"I am honored to have been allowed to see you again as well, Gallatnmon, the only people that talked to me like I'm an important partner." Grani answered telepathically.
"Likewise." Gallantmon answered
"This is my gift to you." Crusadermon said. "For releasing me from control of others. But I still remained sentient during out battle my friends. And I wonder why my arm turned into a pillow."
"Oh that would be... DITTY!" Blue laughed. Her Ditto showed up from Crusadermon's arm, much to her alarm.
"See..." Blue said, returning it into his Poké Ball. "I had to try and do something worthwhile in this battle. So I had Ditto attach itself to you arm."
"You're so awesome, Blue." Dawn commented.
"I am." Blue winked.
"Don't let it get to your head." Gold mumbled.
"But what will happen if the flower wreath is cut?" Davis suddenly spoke.
"Well, it does counter viruses but the virus may be still there." Lillymon shrugged.
"Then you'll need to purify my data." Crusadermon said releasing her Fractal Code.
"But won't we need a D-Tector for that?" Neemon said.
"Well yes, but what about this?" Bokomon raised something that looks like a D-Tector. "This isn't a D-Tector but it does seem to have the purify part of the D-Tector. Dawn, you hold it." Bokomon gave it to Dawn. It is a plain white version of the D-Tector, without a screen.
"Press that button over there... then scan the data." Bokomon instructed.
"Please be purified." Dawn said while scanning Crusadermon's Fractal Code. The Flower Wreath broke but there was no more need for it for Crusadermon is now purified.
"That's it." Crusadermon said then she flew away leaving the band of Cross-world travellers behind.
"I wonder who put that Illusion on our window." Takato said after they revert.
"I don't know. I was dragged by Bokomon, remember?" Davis said.
"Wait a minute, just where did Bokomon drag you, anyway?" Ryo asked.
"Well... That's a secret!" Davis laughed.
"Yes, it's a secret." Bokomon nodded.
"Aw meanies..." Dawn crossed her arms.
"Hey, where are Izzy and the new kid?" Gold asked.
"Over here." Shou waved at them from the window.
"You guys didn't help us at all." Gold crossed his arms and entered through the window which everyone else did except the girls who decided the door is better.
"Well, Izzy was sure you guys will beat Crusadermon so we stayed here to try deciphering the prophecy." Shou shrugged.
"Any luck?" Davis asked.
"No." Izzy shook his head. "I still couldn't understand the part about the Dragon Rider.
"I expected that." Takato said, exhausted.
"But it seems that Daemon did separate us from the others. Now we need to meet each other again. But where?" Izzy said.
"Izzy, you set too much store in the prophecy. I bet that the prophecy will be happening without our help." Davis yawned. "Ok, let's all rest. Oh, Takato, try to find a place to hide Grani in."
"Grani will handle that problem by himself." Takato said, watching Grani fly away to search for a place to stay in.
"Alright, naptime everyone!" Neemon said who instantly slumped into the chair he is sitting on, asleep. Davis pushed Neemon outside the room to let Dawn sleep without someone inside and closed the door and lights. Dawn slipped into the bed and sighed, "What a weird day." Then, she fell asleep.
Chapter Division End
Division 5: To Ask for Assistance
Chapter Division Start
(Cherrymon's Grove)
"Cherrymon," Diamond heard a voice, waking up because of the word Cherry. He also found that he was currently sleeping on some sort of soft grass and ground. "It's a pleasure to see you again."
"Likewise, Thomas H. Norstein." An elderly voice is heard which Diamond presumed was Cherrymon."
"Thank you for taking care of me and my acquaintances here." Thomas's voice says.
"You consider them merely acquaintances? Are they not your friends?" Cherrymon asked. Diamond eagerly listened to this, wanting to know the reason as well.
"I've only known them for apparently 15 hours, and I still don't know them. I have yet to memorize their names." Thomas answered. Diamond thought this is the perfect time to sit up.
"Well then, let's introduce ourselves, shall we?" Diamond said, causing Thomas to look towards his direction and bolt to see him awake. Diamond looked around and saw that the ones still sleeping in the area were Yolei, Jeri, Takuya, Brock, Misty, and Sapphire.
"And you might be?" Thomas asked, initiating the introductions.
"My name is Diamond. But friends can call me Dia." The boy answered.
"Dia, you are a trainer, correct?" Thomas asked.
"Yes. But battling is not really my thing. Among the present Dex Holders, I'm probably the weakest in battling." Diamond said off-handedly.
"I'm not concerned about your battling prowess." Thomas said ('Great someone who talks like Miss Platina' Diamond thought sulkily. He is fine with Lady Berlitz's formal speech but it could be a tad confusing for what Lady Berlitz will call 'commoners'.) I'm more concerned about your Pokémon. Can I check their statistics? Or if you have a database of Pokémon, can I update my palmtop?" Thomas brought out his palmtop and Diamond put his Pokédex out. He let Thomas do some file exchanging for a few minutes. It was a bit of a quiet moment. Diamond asked Cherrymon for one of his cherries.
"You can have one, but these are really cherry bombs." Cherrymon smiled at Diamond who jolted at the word 'bombs'.
"Ok, never mind." Diamond said hurriedly.
"Ha-ha... I do have edible cherries, child." Cherrymon said dropping three pairs of said cherries onto Dia who caught it in both his hands. The fruit itself was as big as his hand. Dia summoned Beh, Roo, Pooh, Lee, and Moo and gave them one fruit each. They ate the fruit and it filled them quite well. Dia asked for one more and stuffed it in his bag to save in case they need it.
"I'm done, Dia. Thanks for lending your Pokédex." Thomas smiled at the new information he had just received. He handed the said device back to Dia, who smiled as well.
"No problem, done." Dia grinned. Thomas raised his eyebrow, and then smiled at this little joke.
"Ha-ha... done eh? Dia, just because I said I'm done, doesn't mean my name is done. My name is Thomas H. Norstein."
"I know." Dia laughed.
"What's so funny?" A male voice was heard behind the Diamond. Takuya apparently woke up and was staring at the two with some sort of smirk.
"It's none of your business." Thomas told Takuya, who merely smirked.
"Really? Ok, if you say so." Takuya walked off towards Misty, whom he decided he wanted to wake up.
"TIME TO WAKE UP!" Takuya shouted at Misty's ear and instantly scurried away to a distance. Misty jolted up. Then she looked around her with some sort of Dark Aura pulsing through her body.
"Who did that?" Misty scarily said. Takuya started calmly walking towards Misty.
"That blonde and the boy over there did it." Takuya told her. Thomas instantly retaliated.
"That is a truly false accusation! You are framing us!" Thomas shouted at Takuya, who merely stuck his tongue out towards Thomas. Misty on the other hand didn't see this gesture and went straight towards Thomas and Dia.
"You two are going to pay dearly..." Misty walked.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Cherrymon shouted, waking everyone else in this chaos. Then, he turned towards Takuya.
"Why did you lie?" Cherrymon asked Takuya.
"Well..." Takuya thought for a while and answered. "Well they won't tell me what they were laughing about."
"Trust a boy to have a pointless reason to do that." Yolei told Misty while at the same time glaring at Takuya
"It's no one's business but ours!" Thomas said back.
"Why can't I know?" Takuya asked.
"For one thing, I don't KNOW you!" Thomas shouted at Takuya, who was slightly taken aback.
"Sorry..." Takuya mumbled.
"That's better." Dia said, coming out of his hiding place behind Cherrymon.
"Hopefully this won't happen again. But just to make sure it doesn't..." Misty said, readying her arms. Takuya started running around Cherrymon with Misty fiercely chasing him. Thomas, on the other hand, decided this is the perfect time to know each other.
"So let me get this straight. The capped goggle boy there is named Takuya. The one chasing is Misty. And you are Yolei, Jeri, Brock and Sapphire respectively." Thomas pointed at each person while naming them.
"You sure get things fast." Hawkmon remarked.
"Master is not known as a genius for nothing." Gaomon told them.
"Wow! You are a genius?" Yolei remarked. "Just what we need! Another smart guy in our ranks will surely toughen our defenses."
"If we weren't separated from the others..." Thomas said glumly.
"Well yeah you are right." Yolei said, her excitement dropping down a notch. Then she had an idea. "You hold on to my copy of the prophecy. Maybe you'll be able to decipher it." Thomas raised his eyebrows.
"Prophecy?" Thomas said. He took the piece of paper in her hand and studied it interestedly...
Chapter Division End
Chapter End
Keenan: Two in one?
Lunar: Not really. More like one and one half in one.
Kenta: You mean Division 5 will be continued next chapter?
Lunar: Yup. Initially, I planned on Division 4 and 5 in one chapter since Division 3 seemed a tad bit short and I expected the two Divisions shorter.
Sora: I guess that makes sense.
Ruby: (ignoring everyone again) Please Review.
