Author's Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon! Hey everyone hope your all having a good week and safe one too. It took me awhile to get started on this one, considering I was having a hard time figuring out where to take the story and finally came up with a way to move things forward, but also to get their adventure started in the digital world, and with the idea I have for this was to- well like I said previous chapter change a little bit of how the File island arc went, and thought "Hey why not have some bit of the Digimon world 1 plot mixed in?"
And well once I got that idea going in my head, I began getting ideas for the story and having the Digidestined children experience something new and different, without rehashing the exact same plot form the anime...to a point of course. I still need to watch the reboot but never have time for myself. So yeah, I am going with that, as well introduced an idea that...well I accidentally deleted another Digimon fanfic called "Cats and Angels want to have fun" where I introduced a concept that Tamers on their Digivices have another featured, to where it can allow them to have their Digimon gain an anthro form and allowing them to adjust and set what kind of body assets the Digimon can have, including their sensitivity. Thus, I am bringing that into this story to explained at least how the female Digimon are able to have anthro forms. But more streamline than complicated lol.
So yeah, without further adieu hope you all have fun and enjoy the chapter. I will be going to update Different Tale of Ash next, as I finally came up with a way for the part 2 of that chapter to start and end. So yeah, hope you all have fun! I am still going to try and keep some comedy in this story as...again I grew up with the English dub and I know the Japanese version can be serious, but still good to have some comedy moments to balance out the seriuos ones. Alrighty that's it from me, hope you all have fun lol.

Chapter 4: File Island, learning of the Digivice and Raising Digimon.
"So…uh…this is your home?" Tai and Kari asked at the same time, staring at what was in front of them. A Giant and run down looking cardboard box is smack dab in the middle of the city they were greeted to by Jijimon. A tin can lid placed on top of it to behave like those shades hotels or houses have on their decks, to even a worn and torn rug/carpet on the grassy ground. On the left side of the cardboard box like home was a black structure, with a broken-down sign hanging off from it and swinging left to right. With the door literally down on the ground and looks broken. Then Tai and Kari looked towards the right, seeing a broken-down fence leading to what seems to be a small farm…but nothing out of the ordinary unless you count the meat that was growing on the ground.
"Tai uh you see that right?" Kari asked while lifting a finger and turning her head at her brother. Who chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Good…I thought I was seeing things?" Kari added while blinking her eyes and then laughed, "Digital world is a strange place."
"You think that's weird, wait till you start exploring the island." Gatomon chimed in while hopping onto Kari's back and resting her chin on the girl's shoulder. "You guys don't have meat growing out of the ground where you're from?" Gatomon asked the girl, who just snicker some more and shook her head.
Tai also laughed, "Oh believe me, if we had special seeds that grow meat? It would solve all of the world's hunger instantly." Tai chimed and looked back at the city, noticing there were a lot of in-training Digimon and Baby Digimon running about in File city. Not once seeing a Rookie anywhere, having the boy cross his arms and then look at Jijimon. "By the way Jijimon, what happened here and why is the place such a mess?" Tai asked, having the Mega level Digimon to sigh and blew some air.
"How about we enter my home, and I can go and detail out what's been happening to you , come, we don't bite." Jijimon said as he guided the two and their partners towards his home, "although I can't promise you that the baby digimon will gnaw on ya." He joked out as they entered the house and saw how small and kind of cramped it was, barely fitting over him, two in-training and Tai and Kari, alongside Agumon and Gatomon- who decided to stay outside for now, so it won't be crowded.
Kari and Tai went ahead and sat down, with Kari humming lightly when she felt what would've been her phone on her hip, grabbed it and lifted it up to eye level. "Huh?" She suddenly hummed having Tai to look at her and smiled, "What's this…this is not my phone?" Kari openly asked while tilting and turning the device in her hands, to then looking towards Tai who smiled.
"That's a Digivice Kari, it's what allows our Digimon to digivolve into their next stage of Digivolution." Tai said and then grabbed his figuring his phone changed into a Digivice as well, then showed it to her. "It also allows us to track and find others who have a Digivice, though?" Then I look down at it and chuckle. "The range of it sucks, as you have to be very close to get a reading."
Jijimon hummed as he faced towards the two humans and began stroking his beard, "Tai, how do you know what a Digivice is?" He asked, alerting the young man towards the Digimon who opened up his palm. "I was going to inform the two of you about them, but you beat me to the punch…is this not your first time here in the Digital world?" Jijimon asked, which had Tai sweat dropping but wasn't too afraid of explaining it again, as he told Kari back at summer camp.
Kari smiled, "Apparently from what my brother had told me? This is NOT his first time being here and has traveled through the digital world before." Then hummed and stroked her chin, "however what he told me is that he dreamt about this world in his sleep? Which explains why I had a hard time waking him up yesterday morning." She then giggled, "But yeah he knows a lot about Digimon apparently, he even told me about how Gatomon over there," She turned to face the feline Digimon. "Was even my Digimon partner, or even Agumon brewing his partner." Then faced back to Jijimon who had quite the astonish look on his face.
Tai chuckled nervously as he had to go with the 'Dream story' on the account he didn't want to tell Kari, how he was from another universe and isn't her, Tai of this timeline or universe. He told Izzy that because he knows him personally and hangs out with him a lot in his universe, he figured the genius will believe him and understood that Tai is from another world. Granted, Izzy came up with that conclusion on his own when Tai explained the events of Parrotmon and Greymon's fight. What Tai didn't expect was that in this universe Tai got gravely injured and broke his leg, leaving him unable to attend Soccer practices or games- and where incidentally he and Kari formed quite a romantic relationship with each other.
"I am sure Kari has already figured out I am not her Tai…what with how I reacted to her advances and have yet complained about my leg or it is hurting during all of that commotion with Kuwagamon." Tai thought to himself as he cleared his throat, and began whispering towards Jijimon with mouth movements, that the Digimon hummed and caught on what Tai was telling him, to which he gave a small nod.
"I see now, okay Tai understood. Once Kari leaves we can talk." Jijimon then cleared his throat and laughed. "Well then that is quite interesting, and not unheard of too for Humans suddenly being here in the digital world while asleep." He said, having even Tai widening his eyes. "The Digital world can be quite a weird and wondrous place, that even us Digimon don't question much about what it can or can't do." He then stroked his beard. "But you also don't know this, but the Digivice has many functions than just digivolving your Digimon or being a radar for finding other Digidestened children." He smiled and watched Tai tilting his head confusingly.
"In due time I will let you both know how to work the device, but I stalled on long enough." He then laughed when some of the in-training Digimon began bouncing about and circling Jijimon, who settled them down and faced the two teens, who stared back with Karii laughing softly when an in-training Digimon hopped over to her and happily nestled into her lap. "Now, as you already saw of the city or town. It is in deseray, and is slowly falling apart on itself. The city used to have thriving Digimon within this city that was prosperous and beaming with life." He informed everyone that everything went black and had everyone in silhouettes as imagery and shadow-like figures of the city and Digimon began playing within everyone's mind.
"I don't know what had happened or why it happened, but Digimon began leaving the city and slowly started losing their memories of File city once they left." The story continues as the images of the Digimon leaving one by one out of the city "The City is field and powered by strong and loyal Digimon that it began losing its strength and prosperity over the course of the weeks and months that went by. Causing the city to decay and slowly become in the state it is in now." A shadow form of Jijimon appeared within the tale, trying his best to keep Digimon from leaving. "No matter how hard I tried, I could not stop them. Over time they just completely forgot what the city was and even their home, before I knew it. Only I and a few Babies and In-training Digimon were left in the city. Leaving us in the state we are currently in." Jijimon said while the story finishes up.
This had Tai and Kari softening their expressions from the tale, all the while looking to one another and then back to Jijimon. "How long was this Jijimon?" Kari asked and saw Digimon shaking his head and sighing, while tapping his can gently on the floor.
"Only a month ago is when it all transpired and that the Digimon or natives of the city, had left." The Digimon then lifted his head…well one could at least tell he was lifting his head considering his hair and beard made it hard to tell. "Though not all is lost, as we heard legends and tales of one day- humans from another world alongside their Digimon partners, will arrive and help save the city and bring back the Digimon who lost their memories of the place. And restore File Island back to the way it was. "Will the two of you and your friends help us?"
Tai smiled, "Of course! Kari and I will help out in any way possible, along with our friends too!" Tai exclaimed immediately, getting Kari to smile brightly at how much Tai cares for others and will help anyone out if they need too. "Just, we also have to find our friends as well, I have no doubt they got teleported here too." He said while lifting his Digivice and stares at it for a few moments and then squeezes it with determination. Then look at Jijimon, "But I think it will be good to know how things work here, so this way we all have an idea of what we're doing."
"Especially the Digivice, you said there was more to it than what Tai said?" Kari asked, in which Jijimon nodded and laughed, as he went ahead and began heading out with the two back outside and giving them a brief tour of the city and his faculties.
"Sure thing, sure thing, I will have Gatomon instruct you about the Digivice Kari. Since I do have some things, I want to discuss Tai in secret." He said as he left the house, Kari and Tai immediately headed out and greeted their Partners, which Kari happily smiled at as she liked the idea of Gatomon telling her how it works. "OH before we do," Tai suddenly said and grabbed the bag that's on his back and swung it down onto the ground. "Hopefully they're okay," he chuckled out, as he then said. "I got a surprise for you Agumon and Gatomon." Tai said, having the two Digimon humming and walking close to Tai.
"Ta-da! Gifts from the human world, I know Digimon loves food and such, so I made some cupcakes and sweets in our summer camp's kitchen. And figured to give them as a present." Tai smiled and sat down the baskets with their names on them, having the two Digimon to coo out and approach them.
"GEE thanks Tai! This looks delicious!" Agumon said and was about to eat the basket, only for Tai to frantically stop him and pull it away from Agumon, to which Agumon then sheepishly laughed when Tai smirked and told the Dino that the food is inside the plastic and in the basket. Not the basket itself being food. "Oh eh eh, yeah uh I would probably choke." Chuckled Agumon and thanked Tai when he opened it up and allowed Agumon to reach the cupcakes and sweets.
Gatomon did the same and opens it up and grabs the cupcakes and sweets, swishing her tail and humming happily at how good it tastes. "How is it Gatomon?" Kari asked while bending down slightly and saw the feline smiling up to her.
"Sooo goood, your brother knows how to make sweets!" Gatomon purred out and grabbed one, "Here try it!" She giggled out and had Kari accept the cupcake and shrugs, as she then goes ahead and takes a bite out of the cupcake and then feels her eyes turning into stars.
"Hmmmm…oh wow you're right they're delicious!" Kari cooed out and began eating the sweets with the two Digimon happily, as Tai chuckled and shook his head while rubbing the side of his right cheek.
"Huh, I know I am not the best cook- especially when it comes to sweets, but are they really that good?" Tai asked and saw the trio nodding their heads and Agumon grabbing one of the cupcakes and handing it to Tai. Who took it and bit into it, "Whoa!" He said in surprise, "wow they are good!" Tai smiled and finished up the cupcake, while he went ahead and cleaned up his hands and looked at Jijimon. "Wanted to talk right?" Which Jijimon nodded with a chuckle, "Agumon, think can stay here with Kari and Gatomon? While Jijimon and I speak privately."
"Sure thing Tai!" Agumon smiled and waved softly at Tai and Jijimon who began heading eastward of the city and towards the farm. "So, Kari, what's it like in the human world?" Agumon asked while turning and facing towards the sister. Who smiled at them and Gatomon, as even the feline looked up at her curiously.
"Heh, if I tell ya, will the two of you show me what I can do with the Digivice?" Kari asked while waving the device around. Having Gatomon smile brightly and teasingly said.
"Sure thing, Agumon will just botch things up, as he isn't the smartest tool around here." Giggled the feline Digimon, getting Agumon to stare lightly and then tilt his head.
"What do you mean?" Agumon asked, making Gatomon's statement be true as she just pointed at Agumon while winking towards Kari. Making the girl chuckle and laugh, as she gently leans against the cardboard box house and hummed as she went ahead and began telling the two Digimon and those around them, about what the human world is like.

With Tai and Jijimon who began walking close to Mt Infinity, Tai informed Jijimon everything he can towards the Mega level Digimon, watching the creature stroke his beard and listens intently towards Tai's story- all the way up to current events and even when and where he was then transported to this world or universe. Having Jijimon ponder and hum lightly to himself of how to carefully answer the question towards Tai. "And well, here I am." Tai finished and then looked around, "it's definitely a lot different than when I first arrived here." He said and crossed his arms.
"There was no File city when I was last here, and we met all our partners in the forest and such." He continued saying while facing Jijimon. "Especially Genai, who had informed us everything about…well practically what little he could do to us. Since he was hiding himself from evil Digimon who were looking for him."
"Genai? The Digimon scientist or Analogman as we call him." Jijimon asked and said having Tai to look at him confusingly. "Analogman are basically researchers or guides of the Digital world created by the omnipotent Yggdrasil of the Digital world. Who are the higher anarchy beings who govern the Digital world and Royal Knights."
"Ah I see…that explains the sudden appearance of Alphamon then and Digimon who were trying to tell us how we're practically making things worse for the Digital world." Tai chuckled nervously, making Jijimon nod and laugh softly.
"Yeah…they can be like that." Then clears his throat, "Well then, your story is very interesting Tai- and made it quite a short, long story too. Let's see…" He then taps the paw of his cane against his own chin, "well first and foremost. I can't explain or tell you why you were suddenly sent to this dimension or universe, but whatever the case. The Digital world of your home seemed to have or set up a bigger destiny for you to embark, than the one in your home. Seeing how it didn't alter you or even change any of your features." He said and then grabbed Tai's Digivice and took a look at it. "And even changing your Digivice as well…not sure what is going on but seems like whatever was going to happen originally- the Digital world wanted to make things up for you."
Tai hummed and received the digivice back and stared at it. "For what purpose though?" Tai asked, surprised how much Jijimon seems to know of the Digital world, more so than Genai. "Why send me here and not…I dunno, reset time?" He asked.
Jijimon hummed and then raised a hand, "How much is different here than your world Tai?" He asked, while watching the boy hummed and closed his eyes in thought. Still gripping the digivice while crossing his arms. "Especially when you woke up, what looked very off and different?"
"Well…" Then leaned backwards a bit and saw Kari and the Digimon in the distance, looking to be having fun and chatting with one another- as the baby and in=training Digimon wanted to be picked up or bounced about from Kari. "For one Kari this time around was able to come to Summer camp and doesn't look to be in terrible health like my Kari." He informed and then placed a finger under his chin. "After that, Izzy did tell me something about getting a strange message saying, 'The Child of the sun has arrived' on his laptop." He said and had Jijimon nodding his head.
"I got that message too- so he isn't the only one." This surprised Tai, staring wide-eyed at Jijimon. "Eh normal here, we get lots of weird messages and sentences once in a while. But I immediately knew it would be you guys- considering you." Then laughed when Tai smiled brightly.
"Crest of Courage, yup." Tai laughed and adjusted himself and then placed both hands into his pants pockets. "Kuwagamon was the biggest difference though, as we never had a Digimon attack us in Summer camp, nor had one even teleported to the human world." He said and then press his back lightly on the small fence. "The Parrotmon and Greymon fight still happened…however?" He then looked sideways.
"However?"
Then Tai raised his hand from his pockets and pointed to his right leg. "Apparently this world's Tai got seriously injured and broke his right leg, sending him to the hospital. But in my world, I never had any bad injuries during that fight, Maybe Kari…she did get a bump on the head, but nothing too serious." Then sighed and threw both arms forward, "And now this! There was no file city in my world's Digital world, let alone we had no idea what the hell we were doing, we just roamed aimlessly till something happens, we get mixed up with trouble or walk into trouble situations."
"Genai didn't guide you guys?" Jijimon asked having Tai freeze for a brief moment to then lowering both eyes halfway and slowly started turning his head at the Digimon, having the old man to shake slightly, "Wo-wow your intimidating when you do that, can…you not turn your head so slowly towards me like that, it's freaking me out."
"I'm not sure if you recall, Genai was keeping himself hidden." Though paused his sentence and then looked up in thought. "Although now thinking about it, considering he could contact us anywhere…does bring up the good point of why he didn't help us at all, despite being hidden?"
"My thoughts exactly, much he was hidden. If he was using projections to speak to you kids. He should have guided you all better and from what you just told me. It seems like you were all just on your own with your own devices." Jijimon added while stroking his beard. "Anyway, what I want to know, and this has been bothering me a lot, is why…" Then huffed. "Why did that man told you and your friends you were raising your Digimon incorrectly?" this had Tai sighing and shaking his head, he still never got an answer from Genai about that remake and statement.
"Skullgreymon is a natural digivolution for Agumon, Greymon, Tyrannomon who are capable of digivolving into said evolution." Jijimon added as Tai wasn't paying attention and responded.
"Tell me about it, ever since Grey…" Then stops, "Wait what did you say?" Tai quickly asked towards Jijimon who looked up at him. "Skullgreymon is part of Agumon's Digivolution, and Tyrannomon?" He wanted to be sure and then rapidly shook his head "WAIT- are you saying…I didn't raise Agumon wrongly or forced him into Digivolving into Skullgreymon? I had to apologize a lot."
"Well the METHOD you did was wrong of course," Jijimon added having Tai to look at him. "However, since it was your first time Digivolving into an Ultimate form. It was going to happen regardless of what method you were about to do." Then reaches over to grab the Digivice Tai had and brought it close to himself, "You see, while yes, the Digivice can help your Digimon digivolve faster without means of training or proper raising. It will give them a basic streamline evolution route that fits them and their condition." Jijimon informed as he then began pushing buttons on the Digivice and had a hologram-like menu appear before him and Tai, causing the boy to freak out and flail his arms about while then falling backwards over the meat farm fence, groaning slightly. Then quickly threw himself back up and bugged out his eyes.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I didn't know Digivice could do that!?" Tai exclaimed while getting back on his feet and approaching Jijimon. Who chuckled and began going through everything the Digivice could detail out.
"Surprise Genai didn't tell you kids about this. It allows you to look over your information and things you've encountered and see, while checking up on your Digimon current condition and health." He then opened up a menu that had Tai blinking his eyes, "Here we go the Digivolution chart." Jijimon informed Tai to widen his eyes even more. "See, this here shows you the digivolution lines Agumon is capable of entering or having." Jijimon then handed Tai the device. "Granted, they're not known to you as of yet, but as you can see- Digimon have multiple digivolution routes to take. Same goes for Gatomon. I am surprised Genai never bothered telling you kids about this."
Tai blinked his eyes and stared quietly at the chart, while then humming and lifting a hand to his chin and gently cupping it. "No he didn't…honestly, he didn't really tell us anything at all. Just told us about Myotismon having a gate to the Human world and that we needed to get back home, as soon as possible and stop him from finding the eighth Digidestined, IE Kari."
"Sigh," Jijimon shook his head and looked at Tai. "Seems like Genai is always in a rush. Honestly, he isn't any different in this world than yours." Jijimon says while then finding a boulder to sit down on and groan slightly, placing his hands on top of his cane. "Anyway, now you know about this bet you have a lot of questions of what the Digivice could do huh?" He chuckled and smiled as Tai just dumbly nodded.
Xxx
"So this is how you know your Digivolving?" Kari asked Gatomon and Agumon as the trio were walking about south of the city, where the plaza of the city will be and looked down at the two Digimon. "But nothing is showing besides, well your previous Digivolution form what I can tell?"
Gatomon nodded, "Yup, despite what Jijimon says to us while living here. That the only way for us to Digivolve is to meet certain requirements through our training and such, or certain conditions that will allow us to Digivolve." Then sighs. "Wasn't easy to understand but all we know, depending on our condition and our Digidestined conditions, would we be able to Digivolve into certain Digimon." The feline Digimon informed.
"All we know is that good training, good healthy appetites or even winning certain battles and such. Will allow us to acquire the Digivolution." Agumon said and happily pump his arms. "Like for instance, I can Digivolve into a Digimon named Greymon!" Then stops and closed his green eyes happily, "Or even Tyrannomon…depending on the situation of course."
Gatomon nodded and happily skips forward and faces Kari, "Or one of my Ultimate level digivolutions allows me to Digivolve into Angewomon, or LadyDevimon." Gatomon informed and shivered, "which honestly, I do NOT want that to happen to you. Much we do keep our personality in tack, the Digivolutions traits and such will show itself from time to time…until we get used to the Digivolution of course."
"Wow," Kari laughed and stared at the hologram menu. "I wonder if Tai knows of this?" Then chuckled, "course Jijimon is probably already telling him." She then pushed a button and then hummed at what looked to be a weird menu. "Huh? Digimon body Modification for 'human' mode?" Kari repeated and read out, having Gatomon and Agumon to widen their eyes and look to one another, which Gatomon began giggling like mad, alerting Kari as she moved aside the Digivice and looked towards her. "Something funny, Gatomon?"
Gatomon smirked and folded her paws behind her back, "Heh- that is a special feature these Digivices have that only certain Digimon know about. Or at least, those who didn't have 'Tamers' as they will put it, who had this option with their own Digivices. Are capable of well," then grinned widely, "Transforming and looking more humanoid or that of humans, just keeping their Digimon looks and attributes." The feline informed Kari, as the girl hummed and stared at the menu screen. "Want to see how it works?" Gatomon asked while folding her hands behind her back.
"Hmm, sure!" Kari smiled and opened up the menu and saw the selections she could make. "Alright, activate?" She asked while tilting her head slightly towards Gatomon, who nodded her head and Kari tilted back and went pushing the activate button. Then saw her Digimon partner glowing in front of her and began increasing in height all of the sudden, reaching up and growing till she was about couple inches below Kari's chin- to then the Digidestend took couple steps back and blinked her eyes in awe, as she saw that Gatomon chest after reaching her height. Began expanding outwards and forming mounds on her chest, forming into what looked to be C cup breasts fully rounded and bouncing, to then her body figure around her midsection. Began to suck inward a bit, giving Gatomon a small hourglass form with her hips, extending just few inches and giving her small thickness to her thighs, followed by her ass being slightly rounded and plump as her tail swished and wagged, to then her paws and cat gloves were morphing that into a human hand with five fingers, to then her paws where her feet were also changed and morphed into human feet with five toes.
Her rounded head became smooth and adjacent to that of a human shaped head, but keeping her whiskers and cat shape eyes, as she blinked open her eyes and then smiled while stretching out her arms above her head and pushing her chest outwards. "Nyyaaaa that was weird but felt good too!" Gatomon said while laughing softly, seeing her human partner just staring wide-eyed and in awe at her Digimon partner, to then smiling brightly, "Heh how do I look Kari!" Gatomon asked while giving a small pose to the girl, who giggled and laughed while raising a hand to her mouth.
"You look amazing, Gatomon!" Kari said, while then looking at the menus. "Hmm, oh seems like I can also alter and adjust your assets as well in this menu." Kari informed, making Gatomon nodding her head and began explaining how she shouldn't mess with that as of right now, Gatomon is comfortable the way she is. Having Kari nodding her head, "Sure thing," then looks to Agumon. "What about you Agumon, would you like Tai changing you into a humanoid form?"
"Nah, I rather like my form, I ain't really interested in being humanoid." Agumon said, "Besides, I don't think I will be able to fight all that well too, especially if I want to protect Tai and you from danger." Then looks at Gatomon, "Although, might be different for other Digimon who could fight better in said form?" He asked the feline, who hummed and closed her eyes and crossed her arms underneath her breasts.
Gatomon swished her tail and then raised a hand, "Yeah it depends, although we probably have more weakness openings in humanoid form, than we do in our monster form." The feline said and looked herself over and laughed, "but I ain't going to lie, there are impressive appeals to looking like a human." Then goes cupping her breasts and mewing lightly, "especially these! What are they called Kari?" Gatomon asked, having Kari blush lightly and snickered.
"Uhh, well they are called Breasts Gatomon. All female humans have them, some being big, some being moderate and sometimes, some won't have breasts but be flat. But there are perks to them." Kari says while leaning some weight onto her right leg, "Not much to them besides well…pleasure or sometime in the future, help with nursing their babies." She said and smiled when Gatomon blinked a couple of times and then widened them in understanding.
"Ah like feeding them milk?" Then tilt her head, "Wait? Humans can produce milk?" Gatomon asked which had Kari sweet dropping, quickly looking away sheepishly and nodding her head. "How?" asked the curious cat Digimon.
"Sigh I walked into that one," Kari muttered softly as she looked at Agumon who seemed to be half interested, but when Kari looked at Gatomon. The feline definitely was curious of how it worked- no doubt being a cat whose curiosity got the better of them. Has the girl sighing and closing her eyes in a bit of what she should do or say. Not only that but there were in-training and baby digimon around them, "Gatomon maybe I will tell you some other time, when we're not around the young ones." Kari informed while rubbing the back of her neck.
This had Gatomon ready to pout but began examining their surroundings and saw what Kari meant by speaking it privately, "ah…yeah-yeah I can see what you mean now." Then giggles while facing the girl, who lifted her Digivice and continued looking through the curious menu. "I know there are other features in that menu, but I don't know how you can get the rest of the features. All I know is the humanoid button, adjusting the Digimon assets and such, and sensitivity levels…but that's it."
Kari hummed and nodded her head as she stared at the menu whale going through her thoughts. "This is quite fascinating honestly, I didn't know Digimon could do this? But…then again from what Tai said in his story back at camp? Digimon are made of living beings but also made of data, so…they could easily be able to change or morph their data anyway they want too." Kari thought to herself as scrolling up and down on the menu, seeing other features were indeed locked or grayed out- meaning she won't be able to use them or see what they are. "Hmm…well if Jijimon is correct and our friends did get transported here? Then does that mean, Mimi and Sora could do the same for their Digimon too?" Kari then heard what sounded like Tai and Jijimon returning, having her turn sideways and fast eastward then had a bright smile on her face- seeing Tai looked to be in a better mood and laughing alongside Jijimon, she then turned back to the menu and hummed.
Then a playful sparkle came to her, "Oh I am curious now seeing this, if it could be possible for Female Digimon to be interested in their partners? I should ask Gatomon in the future once we get the chance." Kari giggled slightly and saw Gatomon giggling with her, seemingly having an idea of what Kari was planning, Kari then cleared her throat and closed the menu and folded her hands in front of her body and faced Tai. "Hey Tai, had a good chat!"
"Yup, learned some interesting things from Jijimon," Tai began saying while approaching her, Agumon and- "And that is…to…say…uhh?" Tai said slowly while he began raising up his hand and pointed towards the anthropomorphic Gatomon, "Who…uh, wait is that Gatomon?!" Tai asked in shock, getting Kari and Gatomon to laugh and giggle at his reaction, as Gatomon swished her tail left to right. "What, but…when…how?!" Tai asked in his shock, as he watched Gatomon twirl in place.
"Heh! What do you think Tai, impressive huh?" Gatomon asked, then winked towards him while placing a finger against her chin. "It is one of the features of the Digivice, it allows us Digimon to change into a humanoid version of ourselves…or" then scratched a finger on her lower lip, looking upwards in thought while closing her right eye. Then closed both of them in a smiling formation, "Well I guess I could say anthro forms!"
Tai stared for a brief moment then lifted his Digivice and began pushing some buttons to have the hologram menu up and widened his eyes, "Oh wow…there it is." Then looks to Agumon who chuckled and quickly told Tai what he said to Kari, having the boy nodding and laughing sheepishly. "Well, I guess that is another thing I got to get used to." He said while rubbing the back of his neck, blushing when Gatomon in a giddy fashion went and cupped her breasts and began moving them up and down.
"Aww what, embarrassed to see a hot female like this?" Teased the feline who saw Tai face turning redder, but then leered harshly at her which made Gatomon sweat drop and stops fondling her breasts and began chuckling intimidatingly, while pulling her hands away and steps closer to Kari, "Wow uh, if looks could kill…Tai has it pat down." She openly said to Kari, who just laughed softly.
"Yeah can blame me for that honestly," Stated Kari while looking away bashfully and goes lifting her Digivice and going through the menu to go and change Gatomon back into her Digimon form. While then hooking her Digivice onto her pants and hips, then smiled cutely towards Tai, who shook his head and rubbed his forehead. "So, anything else we need to know about the city?" Kari asked this towards Jijimon, who hummed and thought it over.
"No, that is pretty much it, besides the training Gym west from here called Green gym. There's not much else I can say." He then looked towards the Dgimon living here, "as of right now, we just need to bring Digimon back into the city or have them remember the city again and bring the prosperity of our home back in order."
"I was meaning to ask this Jijimon," Tai began, having the elderly Digimon look up to him. "Why is it important to bring Digimon back? IS there some sort of disaster waiting to happen?" Tai asked and even had Kari who looked at her brother briefly, then towards Jijimon. As the Digimon hummed and thought things through. Considering what had told him in his other world, there was no file city, or a town that liked or behaved similar to File city. It wasn't even at the base of Mt Infinity either. Not only that but there were evil Digimon who were hired by Myotismon, to hunt them down and defeat them. Along with their first time being on file island, there were also gears called 'Dark gears' that corrupted and caused Digimon to go insane and wild, even attacking them.
Jijimon nods and then sighs, "Yes, you see if the residence and Digimon here on the island were to continue losing their memories and becoming wild. File city and File Island will slowly start disappearing for good, leaving the balance of the digital world in turmoil for other continents." He informs as he goes raising a hand, then points at Mt infinity, having Tai, Kari and their Digimon to face towards the mountain. "I know it may be hard to see it, but Mt Infinity is slowly being erased from existence, at a very slow-paced mind you. The top of it, as you can see, is not supposed to be like that." Then saw the group look back at him. "We need to bring those digimon back or at least, have those remembering the city and help bring the prosperity back to where it once was."
Tai hummed and placed his hands into his pants pocket, lightly tapping his foot as he went through his thoughts. "That makes a lot of sense, back then Devimon somehow managed to pull and separate File Island into separate miniature islands, we had to find large gears to reverse the effects and bring the island back together." He then looks around the city, seeing how poorly shaped it was. "And if what Jijimon said is true, and if we don't bring back or have Digimon remembering the town? It can spell trouble for everyone here, even vanishing forever. This is one test that is going to be difficult to complete."
Oh how he wished for the simpler times, where they were somewhat ignorant and carefree about not worrying too much about anything or everything when they were children. But this kind of mindset is what caused him to act and behave differently, when Kuwagamon and Digimon began attacking into the human world. He literally took a 180 in his personality and reasoning for fighting the Digimon, as he became concerned and worried about people's safety and if they were the problem and cause for all the Digimon attacks. "Not this time, not ever, will I ever start thinking negatively of those events. It is the reason why we were chosen to protect both the digital world and Human world. Man, not sure what the hell got into me at the time, it is also why it led up to Meicoomon going wild and awakening the virus within her."
"Alright," Tai smiled while stretching out his goggles and snapped them onto his forehead. "Just tell us what we need to do, or where to go and we will do our best to save not only the island. But also File city!" He declared with a wide smile, having Agumon beaming brightly to even Gatomon who is hanging off from Kari's shoulder, smiling brightly too and swishing her tail happily. Kari couldn't help but blush and smile as well with the others, even giggling when the Digimon around them began hopping and cheering at Tai's declaration.
"Heh with that positivity, I know you all will do good!" Jijimon said as he then thought over what they could do. "Let's see…well since you also want to find your friends. I did see one of the shooting energy beams," and then faces southward and points towards the forest in the direction. "Landing somewhere near and around Byte Forest and Dragon lake- I think that will be a good place to see if one of your friends has arrived." Then faces back at the group, "So before you leave, you two should probably-" but then was interrupted when some in-training Digimon began running into the city from Green gym. Panicking and crying out towards Jijimon, who whipped his attention towards them and approached Digimon, "What, what's wrong, what happened?"
"The Gaburimon gang are back and they're heading this way!" Shouted the in-training Digimon, having Tai and Kari blink their eyes. "And there's a LOT of them too! Declaring that they will finally destroy and get rid of File city!" Explained the in-training Digimon.
"Gaburimon?" Tai asked towards Agumon, who had a serious look on his face and turned to Tai raising his claw out.
"Gaburimon are nasty Rookie level Digimon, who always come and go as they please and behave like gangsters and mobs. They pillage and destroy any peaceful village or settlements and take whatever they want from them. They will even attack and harm other Digimon to get what they want too."
Gatomon hops off from Kari's shoulder and pumps her paws, "Not only that but their Gaburi bombs are dangerous, along with their Bolt strikes. They aren't that tough for Rookie level, but when they are in a pack or group. They can cause major damage." Then crosses her arms. "Ugh, I may be a Champion level Digimon, but most of my experience and strength is that of a Rookie." Then look at Agumon, "No offense."
"None taking Gato, I too wished you had the strength of a Champion." Agumon replied back, having Tai pale lightly while twitching his mouth, but quickly heard Jijimon's voice rang out from the conversation he had with him.
"Even though Gatomon may be a champion, without proper training or using the Green Gym. She hasn't had the chance to gain the strength or have battle experience to reach that level of power."
"Because you guys were waiting for us, you didn't really use the Green gym all that much while being raised here." Tai repeated, having Agumon and Gatomon look at him and nodding their heads. Even surprising Kari, who heard this and even though she doesn't know what it meant, she quickly asked.
"Wait so I am on the right page here," Kari began saying, "Is Champion like a higher tier than Rookie?" She asked, which Gatomon raised a paw and gave her best version of a thumbs up. "Okay, so training is definitely important then…or battle experience?" Kari continued asking.
"Yup, us Digimon get stronger through battling but also when we use the Gyms to help us get better. Could say it's like raising someone to be a fighter." Agumon explained and made complicated things that normally would go over his head, to being the most simplistic thing ever.
"Well…that is one way of putting it bluntly. But Agumon is right." Gatomon said while swishing her tail, "If we don't battle or train, even after reaching Champion level. We will still have the durability or strength of that of either in-training or Rookie level Digimon." Gatomon says and looks to the in-training Digimon and knelt lightly down, "Tanemon how many Gaburimon are there and are they following anyone?"
The plant like Digimon with her green twin-leaf head nodded but wiggle lightly. "Sort of, but what weird is that all their eyes are glowing red and seemingly gathering in-formation. Almost perfectly in sync with one another, let alone not even arguing or fighting each other!" Exclaimed the worried Digimon, having Gatomon blinking her eyes and even the two teens blinked their eyes as well. With Kari facing Tai with concern as she raised a hand up to her chest.
"Sounds like the Gaburimon is either being mind controlled or having those black gears in them." Tai muttered openly, having Kari to tilt her head slightly wondering what he meant, in which Tai without thinking of what he was going to say next spoke up. "Last time I was here Kari, me and my friends faced Digimon who had black gears stabbed into them or being absorbed into their bodies. Causing them to be very aggressive and dangerous." Then looks back down to the ground humming, "And they too had red eyes as well."
"So," Jijimon approached after getting information about the current situation. "If that is the case, then that means the Gaburimon are being controlled by someone?" He asked Tai, who turned around and looked at him while nodding.
Kari lowered her eyes halfway in a suspicious manner, "When he and his friends were last here in the Digital world?" She thought to herself and let out a low hum of curiosity. "He's not lying about it either, especially the way he casually said it so freely without thinking. Just…who are you Tai?" Now this is making Kari suspicious as if there is one thing she knows about her brother. It's the fact he would try to stammer or stutter from telling the truth, or purposely to make a white lie to soften her concerns. Kari then felt her yellow shorts being tugged, having her face down to Gatomon and saw her staring in suspicion like her.
Gatomon then whispered out, "Hey Kari, how come Tai seems to know a lot about us Digimon and the digital world? We didn't even mention the black gears at all, which HAVE been flying about in the skies a couple of times and from Mt Infinity."
"I…honestly don't know?" Kari said and looked at Tai who finished talking and discussing things with Jijimon…then felt her heart fluttering and odd reasons making her feel more drawn to him. "But. Whatever the cause is…we can trust him." She smiled and felt a bit of a blush on her face, she might have to try and get some answers out of him after they settle the Gaburimon invasion. This had Gatomon tilting her head at Kari, noticing her blush and stares at Tai, Gatomon went and stared, towards the boy too. Wondering what it is that's making her partner blush like that?
"Alright then!" Tai suddenly clapped his hands and approached the girls and Agumon. "Seems like the Gaburimon are arriving in what seems to be a large line. Meaning that they will probably use Gaburi bombs to attack us." Tai said, having the girls and Agumon to blink their eyes as Tai raised a hand up with a wide grin. "SO! All we gotta do is make sure to disrupt the bombs and have them explode before reaching or hitting the towns."
Kari giggled but sweat dropped as she then placed an elbow on her open hand and rested her cheek against her palm. "Yeah uh Tai…HOW exactly are we going to do that? We don't have much to throw at the bombs." She said, while then looking down at Gatomon and Agumon. "And even though they might have long range attacks, wouldn't they be wasting energy and stamina in trying to stop the bombs?" She then looks back at the boy, while tilting her head cutely.
Tai snicker while closing both his eyes and began wagging his finger, "Ah that the thing my dear sister-" Then turns sideways and points towards the in-training Digimon who were look ready and raring to go, as they began running about and positioning themselves around town, hiding themselves greatly. "I told the In-training Digimon that their bubble attacks, though weak- can still disrupt the Gaburi bombs. Especially if its energy." Then looks back at Kari who was wide-eyed at Tai's plan. "And listening to Izzy a lot and his scientific ways, I know for a fact opposing force will be enough to blow the bombs up."
"Oh that is awesome Tai! Then what will Gatomon and I do, while they disrupt the bombs?" Agumon asked and smiled when Tai looked at his partner with a big grin.
"We still will do it too- but not as much as the in-training Digimon." Though Tai raised a finger. "But we also need to support them too- considering they are still in training." He then looked towards the direction of the Green gym. "From what Tanemon says, the Gaburimon will be coming in the direction of the Green gym. OR south from it. So we gotta protect that entrance and the side entrance to the town square."
Kari nodded and then asked, "How much time do we have?" Then listened to Tai saying they have about 2 hours before they arrive. She then looked at Gatomon and Agumon as her brain began going a couple miles ahead as she smiled, "Then why not take advantage of those two hours and have both, Gatomon and Agumon train!" Then spread her arms out with a big grin. "Like they said, they haven't trained much at the Gym while they were waiting for us, right?" Then winks, "so why not take advantage of those two hours and help the two get strong, or at least strong enough to handle a lot of Gaburimon!"
Tai grinned and clapped hands with Kari, to then have her in a giggling fit as he rubbed her head, "Well look at you Kari! Already thinking ahead and wanting to help get your Digimon strong!" Then pulls away, having Agumon and Gatomon smiling brightly seeing the brother and sister bonding greatly. "I was just about to suggest that" then turned towards the two Digimon. "But we will only train for 1 hour alright you two? We don't want you both tired and exhausted once they arrive."
"ROGER!" The two Digimon cheered out and began running towards the Green Gym, with Tai and Kari following right behind them, knowing that if they do train the two Digimon- it will help them greatly in defending the City but also fight back against the rookie Virus type Digimon that were heading their way to the city.
Xxx
Two hours had come, and everyone was in position and ready for the invasion, Tai and Kari were hidden and behind some trees with their Partners, Gatomon and Agumon up on branches as Tai informed the two that their long-range attacks would have better use on a higher area. With the in-training and even Jijimon, surrounding the entrance to the Green gym and side entrance to the city. The group got ready as they can hear the stomps and footsteps of the Gaburimon marching and making their way over to the exact spot that Tanemon had mentioned.
Tai blinked his eyes and widened them as he even saw someone bigger among the group, "Oh that is not good." He whispered out, alerting Kari to him as she then looked up towards Gatomon and Agumon who also gasped at the sight. "Ogremon…what is he doing here?" Tai muttered as he quickly grabbed his telescope to see if he too was being mind controlled.
"Who is he?" Kari asked, which Gatomon answered for her.
"That's Ogremon, A Champion level Digimon. He's very ruthless and like Gaburimon, very aggressive and always causing problems and trouble. However unlike Gaburimon who can be slow and dumb at times. Ogremon can be cunning and will use dirty tricks to win his fights." Gatomon said, while then clicking her tongue and thrashing her tail about. "Not only that but his Pummel whack, Bolt strike and his Ogrebomb are very deadly…do not want to be caught in those attacks."
"Not only that but since he is champion level, his attacks will be more devastating than the Gaburimon's bombs and Bolt strikes." Agumon added and then looked towards Tai who growled in irritation and slammed his telescope shut. "What is it, Tai?"
"Bad news, he's not being controlled or looking like he has black gears in him. He's perfectly normal. Meaning he's commanding the Gaburimon." Tai muttered in frustration as he raised a hand to his chin, going through his thoughts. This was bad he thought, Ogremon leading the Gaburimon will give them headaches, especially if he knows what he is doing…but then again Tai thought, he could be similar to his 3orlds Ogremon where he isn't the brightest tool around like the Gaburimon. "Well…I think the only concern we should have been if he attacks. Much as we trained for one hour, I don't think Gatomon will be enough to take him on by herself."
"And since like you said if a Digimon gets a black gear in them, they just actively attack relentlessly without much thought or plans. So if he joins the fight with Gaburimon, we will be in trouble." Gatomon stated, as she thrashed her tail about and saw the twenty different Gaburimon coming to a stop halfway through the open fields, as Ogremon stood behind them and slammed his giant bone club on the ground.
"Get ready everyone." Tai quickly said, as Gatomon, Agumon got ready and poise for an attack, Tai and Kari holding their digivice to their chest and glaring ready to support much they can and have tools ready to assist the two Digimon that Poyomon handed them just in case things go south.
"JIJIMON!" Bellowed Ogremon loudly as he glared at the Green Gym entrance. "Come out you old fart and face the might of Ogremon's army!" He shouted and watched Jijimon, walking out from his position and standing before the Green Gym entrance, glaring back at Ogremon while stroking his beard lightly. "Listen up, we saw what looked to be shooting stars falling from the sky during the day. Which I believe has amazing treasure and selling value," then grabs his bone club, throwing it into the air and facing it towards the Mega level Digimon. "So, hand them over and show the goods, if you don't!" Then cackles as the Gaburimon raised they're bone clubs over their heads and began forming at the mouth. "My enhanced little army here will come at you and destroy what is left of your precious city!"
This had Jijimon blink his eyes as he thought the worst of things and believed that Ogremon and his goons might be working with someone. Though he may be old and his hair blocking his eyes, he can clearly see the black gears jutting out from the Gaburimon's backs, giving them that intimidating stance. "Tai is right, they have Black gears on them and possibly even powering them up. Although, that begs the question, if Ogremon is following somebody's orders, or he is just getting assistance from someone giving him the black gears for his group?"
"So, are you going to tell me or not, of where you're hiding those shooting stars!" Ogremon shouted and had Jijimon just staring lightly as he lightly looked towards the tree where Tai, Kari and their Digimon were and then back to Ogremon. Then lightly scratch the side of his face, "You…do have them, right? Cause they fell near your-"
"Ogremon you do know that Stars aren't physically possible to obtain right?" Which had Ogremon letting out a rough huh. "Although if you were saying Meteors, then…yeah a Meteorite may have crashed nearby, but we have nothing or any type of those things in our city." The old Digimon said, having Ogremon to look dumbfounded and even looking like he was even sweating at the notion of there being no treasure here to obtain. "So um…you can go now." Then Jijimon flinched, as Ogremon began stomping his feet and thrashing his club around.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it you old fucking Digimon!" Ogremon cried out, "We saw it, my boss saw it and we're here to get those stars…err, Meteorite in your city!" Then threw a fist up into the air. If you're not willingly handing them over, then all we gotta do is destroy and rampage on your city. Men attack!" Ogremon shouted and had Gaburimon running and screaming out a battle cry as they began charging forward.
"Time to go to work you two," Tai told Agumon and Gatomon who nodded their heads and quickly jumps down onto ground floor and began running close to the shrubbery they were hiding behind and began waiting for when to attack and stop the Gaburi bombs to be thrown out, to which they saw some of the Digimon doing that as Gatomon and Agumon, rushed out of the bushes and leaps into the air.
"Lightning claw!" Gatomon shouted and fired off a couple of claw-like energy blades to some of the bombs, having them erupt and explode, along with disrupting the other bombs, with Agumon pulling his head when he jumped.
"Pepper breath!" He shouted and fired off a couple of pepper breaths at the other bombs, having them explode and erupt with contact. Follow up with some of the in-training Digimon firing off their bubble attacks, disrupting the other bombs that were reaching close- surprising Ogremon greatly of where reinforcement came from?
"The hell those two came from?" Ogremon shouted and saw some of his men getting close towards the city entrance but were suddenly blown back when Jijimon slammed his cane down, then facing the tip forward.
Then starts hitting and whacking some of the Gaburimon hard and fast, blowing them away from the entrance as he flips about and cartwheels around, moving swiftly to each Gaburimon that got close and went toe-to-toe with their bone clubs and overpowering them with light difficulty, but still managing to force them back. This had Ogremon twitching his eyes and throwing his arms upward, "COME on guys! How are you losing to an old man, let alone a bunch of baby level Digimon!" Then side-steps out of the way when a Gaburimon came flying from the sky and landed right next to him. Causing the black gear that's inside of the Digimon to disappear and be deleted. "Oh for fuck sake…" he growled while face palming.
He then turned towards the direction of Agumon and Gatomon, who were combating some of the Gaburimon and easily dealing with them without much struggle. Noticing how the two Digimon, weren't using a lot of their moves or attacks, having him stated openly and watches Agumon uppercut one into the air, with Gatomon rushing over and does a jumping twirl kick into the head of the Digimon, having it fall down hard into the ground. With enough force to have the gear to be deleted, he watches Gaburimon come to his senses and begin running away.
"Something feels weird about this?" Ogremon said to himself and then saw more Gaburimon bombs being exploded and disrupted by the bubbles and even some energy attacks from Jijimon. "They…are well organized for a bunch of in-training and rookie level Digimon…" He continued saying as he then had his eyes shifting towards the bushes and trees, seeing some reflection going on over the direction. "Heh, so you think I could hide from me eh!? Magma bomb!" He shouted and arched his left arm back and formed what looked to be an energy bomb and tossed it straight towards where Kari and Tai were hiding causing the two teens to widen their eyes.
"Karu get down!" Tai shouted as he and her quickly leaped down from the tree branch and did their best to run away, but then felt themselves being lifted off the ground when the bomb exploded and deleted the tree, they were hiding in. Causing the two teens to fly forward and hit the ground on their fronts, causing Gatomon and Agumon to stop attacking and shouting out their names, to then yelling in pain when they felt the Gaburimon whacking them with their bone clubs, to then flying backwards when they lean their heads back and used Spit fire on them!
Causing the two Digimon to hit the ground and bounce a couple distance from them, to then shielding themselves when more Gaburimon began surrounding them and started whacking and hitting them with their Clubs.
"Agumon!"
"Gatomon!" Both Kari and Tai shouted as they quickly got up onto their feet, but then jumps back when four Gaburimon rushed them and tried hitting them with their clubs, as Tai growled irritably at them and out of desperation leaned his right leg back.
"Hey you ever wonder why they say Males can squeal?" Tai said, causing the Gaburimon in front of him to stare slightly, "It goes LIKE THIS!" And swings his foot right between the Gaburimon's legs, causing its eyes to bulge out and began letting out a squeal, dropping his bone club onto the ground as he covered himself! Causing the second Gaburimon next to him to start snickering and laughing at his partner's expense. "Oh don't worry, you are seeing stars too!" Tai shouted as he grabbed the club the partner dropped and swung it at the second Gaburimon's head, who's eyes widened and let out a loud grunt of pain when the club hit his cheek and flew a couple inches away from Tai. The boy continued the momentum of the swing and slammed the club into the squealing Gaburimon right on the head and knocked him out!
Kari and the two Gaburimon that were next to her just stared at what just happened, with Kari looking at the two and them back at her as she grinned wickedly and had the two Gaburimon sweating and stares to each other, "err…should we risk it?"
"Better idea." The other said and both nodded and quickly raised the clubs and smashed it onto their heads and promptly passed out from how hard they hit themselves. Having Kari to giggle out and shake her head.
"Thought so," and she too- grabbed one of their clubs and rushed over towards Gatomon as Tai did the same with Agumon and started swinging and whacking the Virus type Digimon away from them, surprising everyone there at how the humans were fighting alongside their Digimon partners. Having Jijimon to smile and chuckled out, while for Ogremon- well he was fuming but also having a mixture of respect for the weird creatures.
"Whoever they are…they definitely have guts. I'll give them that." Ogremon said to himself but growled irritably, seeing more of his men were being defeated and pushed back after the two weird creatures helped out their partners. Watching the Rookie digimon fight back against the other Gaburimon, scaring them away as they look bit battered and bruised, but seem to be able to continue fighting. "COME ON! How are you all losing, there's thirty of us and only…uhh?" Then lifted a finger to count how many there were. "I think 15 in-training Digimon, one ultimate Digimon and two Rookie Digimon." He shouted and had everyone stop mid-battling and scuffle as they looked at the Ogre, who stared back with blinking eyes and confusion. "What?"
Jijimon cleared his throat and said, "Actually Ogremon, I am a Mega level Digimon- Gatomon over there is a Champion level Digimon." He informed, having the ogre to continue staring and even tilt his head…till his brain finally caught up to him and let out a yell.
WHAT THE FUCK!? WHEN DID YOU BECAME A MEGA LEVEL?! LET ALONE HOW THE HELL IS THAT CAT A CHAMPION LEVEL!?" He shouted, having everyone just sweat dropped and wonder if he honestly didn't know that Jijimon was Mega level, let alone Gatomon being champion?
"Well actually," Gatomon chuckled out and whispered to Tai and Kari, "considering what I told you both at the town? I may only have a strength that is of a Rookie level, for not using the gym at all." She said, having Tai and Kari letting out low ah, recalling exactly what she means, as Gatomon swished her tail. "So, others might think I am rookie level."
"Right," Tai said and then lifted his club up and had it come down hard behind him, smacking a Gaburimon on the head and then spun in place swinging the club like a bat across the Digimon head. With Agumon, running to Tai's right and firing off a Pepper breath at a Gaburimon that was getting too close. "Also, kind of surprised how weak these guys are? Even with the black gears…maybe it just ups their physical strength?"
Gatomon did a Neko kick at a Gaburimon's chin, to lift them into the air as Kari followed up with swinging the club she took from the two earlier, sending the Digimon few feet away and watching the black gears deleting and disappearing from their backs. Causing and having more of them running away and fleeing from the battle. "But considering how many there are, Tai, I can see why everyone will be overwhelmed." Kari said as she panted and breathed, dropping the club and let out a huff of breath while hanging off her knees. "I…don't think I can swing that club anymore- takes a lot to hold it up."
Tai does the same but throws the club at a Gaburimon, with Agumon following up with another Pepper breath, as he too was getting tired and worn from using his Pepper breath. While Tai, like Kari, was exerting a lot of energy using it as he panted and breathed lightly, wiping his forehead. "Tell me about it."
Then the four look towards the entrance and see the in-training and baby Digimon are also losing a lot of energy, defending and making sure none of the bombs reach or get anywhere close to the Green gym entrance, while also being slightly blown back when the explosions do get close.
Even Jijimon, despite being a Mega level Digimon, looked like he was getting tired as well. However everyone managed to pull through as more Gaburimon were being freed from the Black gears and ran away from the battlefield. Angering Ogremon greatly as he clenched his fist hard and squeezed hard on his club, "That's it, no more mister nice Digimon!" And then swung the club over his head and began swinging it. "You fuckers are done for, and you Gaburimon are pathetic excuse to calling yourselves warrior! This is how you handle things!"
Agumon and Gatomon got themselves posed and ready for anything Ogremon will throw at them. "Take this Magma bomb!" Ogremon screamed and formed another bomb around his hand and tossed it straight towards Agumon and Gatomon! He then began charging forward after throwing the bomb at the two Digimon, who looked at the bomb and Ogremon.
"Guys get out of the way!" Tai shouted, making the two Digimon partners agree with Tai's choice and quickly ran fast they could from the bomb, which erupted right on the spot- however Gatomon widened her eyes when ogremon suddenly appeared right before her, and shouted.
"Gotcha, Pummel whack!" Ogremon shouted while swinging his left fist forward and smashes it into Gatomon's stomach, causing her to let out a loud grunt of pain and goes flying- Ogremon slides along the grass and then quickly dug his claws on the ground, to then leaping towards Gatomon in the air.
"Pepper breath!" Agumon quickly shouted as he raised his body up and fired off three balls of fire towards Ogremon, but saw them just disbursed and did no damage to Ogremon as he reaches to Gatomon and grabbed his bone club with both hands and slams it down hard and fast into Gatomon's head! Causing Gtomon to let another cry of pain and go flying down towards the ground hard and fast!
"Gatomon!" Kari screamed out and began rushing her way over to her Digimon partner, with Tai following right behind her! Seeing Ogremon descending from the sky and sliding backwards when he landed and laughing at the sight. "Gatomon, Gatomon!" Kari shouted and slid on her knees, then quickly scooped the feline up into her arms and stared down at her. Who looked dazed and dizzy, covered in slight cuts, bruises and even dirt covering her white fur. Having Kari grit her teeth trying hard to hold back her emotions, then snort when Gatomon managed to lift a paw and patted Kari's cheek.
"I'm alright Kari…just need some rest." The feline said softly, as she turned her head towards Ogremon. "I should have trained more…didn't want to get you upset." She continued saying and then felt Kari hugging her tightly to her chest and shook her head.
"No Gatomon, no! You did great, you did great, no need to apologize!" Kari said between hiccups, having Tai look at the two and balled up his fist. Something he has to get use to again, is their Digimon partners getting hurt and harmed form battles. He turned to face Ogremon who looked ready to toss a Magma bomb again, only for him to yell out and stumbled backwards when Agumon fired off one more Pepper breath at the bomb in his hand, damaging Ogremon from the explosion.
"Tai…I don't know if I can fight him." Agumon said softly while approaching next to the teen, who nodded his head. "But if I can Digivolve…" Agumon blinked his eyes when Tai lifted his Digivice and stared at it. "Tai?"
"Your Digivice does allow your partners to Digivolve quite literally early in their life cycle, however the time period they can stay as Champion is quite short. Yeah they get a small boost of strength when Digivolved, but it only lasts once per battle. And will disappear after five minutes. I understand why Genai couldn't teach you children most of how Digimon works, but let me be the first one to say this." Jijimon's voice echoed out in Tai's head as he looked at the Digivice.
"Digivolution isn't always the solution, training your partners or helping them gain experience allows them to become strong. Your bond for the Digivolution powers them up, but that is it." Tai said quietly, having Agumon to blink his eyes curiously and then saw Tai smiling down at him. "In other words Agumon, if I have you digivolving right now, won't do us any good. I think I finally understand what Genai meant by now raising you guys well."
"Huh?" Agumon tilted his head and then hummed when Tai knelt down and began whispering into his ear, having the Dino digimon to stare openly for a few minutes and then widened his eyes and smiled brightly. "REALLY!"
Tai nodded his head and pumped his right arm lightly, "Yup, if what Jijimon says is true…then we should only Digivolve as a last resort…at least for this fight." He whispered, having Agumon nodding and whispering back.
"Right, cause we do regain our strength and recover when Digivolving. It won't do us any good if I digivolve right away." then faced Ogremon, who looked to be patient and letting the two of them talk to one another. "Now thinking about it, despite the fact that he loves playing tricks and such? Ogremon are very honorable fighters when they want too."
Tai hummed and recalled Leomon and Ogremon being rivals back then, with Ogremon never using any tricks or using dishonorable tactics to the Lion Digimon. "Really?" Tai said and stood up and faced Ogremon and smiled, "Well then, let's see if he can honor us then." Then cleared his throat, having Kari and Gatomon to stare at the teenager as he took a couple steps forward. "Hey Ogremon!"
"Eh?" Then faced his club, "What do you want punk, better not be plotting something with your pathetic partner there." He scowled out, having Tai do his best not to get angry for calling his buddy pathetic.
"Nah nothing like that, I have a proposition for you." Tai began saying while crossing his arms and smiling towards the Champion, who hummed. "I want to offer a proper fight with you and my partner here, in a fair one on one duel together."
"Tai what are you-" Kari tried speaking but got quiet when Gatomon lifted a paw and covered her mouth, whispering how it looks like Tai has a plan making Kari to stare at her partner who removed her paw and then look at her brother.
"A fair one on one fight with your Agumon?" Ogremon repeated and lifted a hand to his chin, having the in-training Digimon near Green gym to surround Jijimon and asking him what is the human doing. Having the old Digimon to smile and chuckle at what Tai is doing, "Alright…what is the catch?" Ogremon said, taking the bait.
"No catch! At least, no tricky tactics or anything of that manner." Tai continued saying while shaking his head and grinned. "Only catch is that if we do this fight, you will allow Agumon to digivolve in case he doesn't put up much of a match."
"Oh?" This had everyone widening their eyes as they saw how quickly Ogremon's mood changed and began smiling…well, a smile that an Ogre could provide. "I see…so you want to test out the strength of your rookie level partner out, to see if he has what it takes. But if he doesn't show a good performance, you want to have him Digivolve to not be on my level- but so I can have an exciting battle?"
"Yeah!" Tai then leaned his weight onto his right leg, "I mean an honorable fighter like yourself, wasting precious time and training by letting your goons do the work. Whale having someone giving you perks, that will only give you bad results without real training or battling experience." Then shrugs his arms and sighed, "I mean…what honorable fighter will do that." Then grinned wickedly. "I bet you could easily take the city all by yourself without the help of those Gaburimon."
The offering was working as this had Ogremon blushing and giggling like a mad man, "Heheheh, you are right brat. I could probably destroy the city myself without the Gaburimon." Then beamed towards the teen. "You know what boy, you have me in a good mood and I like the way you're thinking too. But, what will it be in it for me if I win?"
Tai hummed and thought to himself of how that's a good question as he tapped a finger against his chin, then hummed as he looked down at his miniscope lens and smiled. "If you win, you can have my miniscope." Tai said, causing Kari to widen her eyes. "It allows you to scope out and see faraway distances, even allowing you to examine or watch over potential fighters for ya!"
This had Ogremon letting out an interesting hum, liking the idea of being able to see far away and even spy on his rivals…Maybe with that he can use it to spy on Leomon. "Okay I like that deal, and let me guys if you win?" Ogremon then nodded his head when Tai confidently held his ground and said.
"You leave File city alone and don't ever come back to destroy it. You know what has been going on with it right?" He asked, then widened his eyes when Ogremon closed his eyes and softly nodded his head. But Tai didn't push to have Ogremon live in the city and help fix it up. "Cool, so…do we have a deal?" Tai asked and watched Ogremon who stood still for a while, began marching his way over towards Tai, having everyone on edge as the gap between them closed in rapidly as Tai held his hand out while staring up at Ogremon. Who looked down at Tai and stared into his eyes, seeing so much courage and confidence behind the look and expression, reminding Ogremon so much of Leomon that he couldn't help but click his tongue excitedly as he asked.
"Your quite confident that your Digimon will win? And this is no trick?" Ogremon asked as Tai nodded his head and responded back.
"No tricks, and I believe in Agumon. Never know, he might surprise you Ogremon…so, do we have a deal?" Tai asked one last time and then smiled confidently when Ogremon's expression was also of confidence, to then happily move his hand out and shook hands with Tai- being very mindful of not squeezing hard considering he could easily break the creature in two.
"You got yourself a deal! Heal up Agumon with whatever items you have and let's get started!" Ogremon cackles out and does a large backwards jump and gains a large distance away from Tai, while sliding across the ground and coming to a stop. In which Tai nodded his head and looked at Agumon.
"Agumon you heard him, let's heal up and have one heck of a battle!" Tai said towards his partner who began running over with excitement and saw Tai, taking out the healing items that Jijimon and the in-training Digimon gave him and Kari. "Alright let's see," Tai then lifted his eyes up and saw Kari, who was holding Gatomon close looking down at him.
"You know what you're doing Tai? Cause…like Gatomon and Agumon told me, Rookie level Digimon don't generally have good strength against Champion." Kari asked, as Gatomon swished her tail left to right, watching Tai standing up and tossed the healing tools to Agumon as he happily applied them and recovered his strength. "I mean what if Ogremon lies and does something?" Then Kari squeaked when Tai placed a hand on her head and rubbed it gently, causing her to blush.
"No worries Kari, if I know anything about Ogremon? He is a mon who is an honorable fighter and keeps his word, while never backing down from a fight." Tai says and swings his bag around his shoulders and faces forward at Ogremon, who is doing some exercising and squats. Then began rolling his arms. Trust in us Kari and you'll see." Tai said and began walking forward while Agumon began running ahead of him and got into position to battle, with Tai holding up his Digivice and smiled, "Alright ready Ogremon!"
"Yeah fuck I am ready! Show me what you got you digi-brats! Prove to me that you can give me an awesome fight!" Cackle the ogre, having Agumon hardening and stealing up his guard, with Tai doing the same and placing his goggles on his forehead and smiling.
"Alright, here we go Agumon!"
"Ready!"
This had Kari and Gatomon watching everything take place in front of them. With Kari softening her expression and holding a bit tightly on Gatomon in concern and worried that Agumon might badly get hurt, "Be careful you guys…" She softly said, as Tai and Agumon will be fighting against Ogremon alone- who will come out in this battle and what plans do Tai and Agumon have up their sleeves? Who knows what will come out of this fight, but one thing for sure is that the Digidestined and their Digimon adventures are only just beginning in the Digital world!
To be continued…
