Chapter 3: The Meeting

When Guilmon's sight returned he found himself in a bizarre place.

He was standing inside his mind and when he looked around, he was shocked to see half of his mind was his red while the other half was yellow, the area covered in the familiar Hazard Symbol that adorned his chest.

"Is this my mind?" Guilmon asked himself out loud as he walked around, before finding himself standing in peanut butter spread and said. "Yeah, it sure is my mind."

He then saw that his skin was back to it's usual red colour and his body contained no traces of Pokémon.

No yellow, no thunderbolt tail, he was back to his normal self.

But he knew it would be temporarily as when he returned from his inner journey, his skin and body would still have merged with Pikachu.

He then saw a giant photo resting against the wall, it was of Renamon, fully naked and winking as hearts flew around her, with a signature saying: 'To my mate and love, Guilmon'.

Guilmon blushed as he was aware of his crush for the fox Dfigimon but he was unsure how to bring out his feelings.

Then on the other side of the mind, he saw a statue of a figure he had never seen before, but recognizing the colours and black back ears; he could tell that it was Lucario's statue.

"She really does look like Renamon." Guilmon said.

"Hey, I'm over here!" Came a voice, in which Guilmon turned to see a small creature with black eyes, red cheeks and a thunderbolt shaped tail, tied up to some red and yellow vines.

"Are you, Pikachu?" Guilmon asked, running towards him.

"Yes. Are you're Guilmon?" asked Pikachu in reply.

"I am and look, we don't have much time. Why don't we get to know ourselves before the time limit expires." Guilmon told Pikachu, who nodded in agreement, before saying. "Right and I cannot move right now because I am trapped in your mind but I can speak and use my attacks through you."

"I can tell you're heroic. Tell me about yourself. What's this about PokéPark?" Guilmon asked.

Pikachu explained his whole story, how he, Piplup, Charmander and Chikorita were brought to PokePark by Mew to save it from being crashed by the Sky Pavilion.

Then he and his allies, Snivy, Oshawot and Tepig working together to try to save Wish Park as Darkrai tried to enslave them all in there.

And finally, Pikachu told Guilmon about the battle against Mewtwo who tried to conquer PokéPark by spreading his hatred and fear through his friends, but due to him befriending them all and with Mew's help, he was about to defeat Mewtwo but did not finish him off as he had hope he would change his ways.

With Pikachu's tale finished, Guilmon then explained about his adventures, his Tamers, his friends, and his final battle against the D-Reaper, before returning back from the Digital World, only to soon face Parisimon, a Digimon parasite that manipulated Locomon and Rika into doing his dirty work, before sending an army of Parisimon from the Digital World, which he and Takato defeated using all of Gallantmon's power.

And when Pikachu asked about his relationship to Renamon, Guilmon blushed a lot.

"We're just good friends but somehow..." he said in a very quiet and embarrassed tone, before saying. "I just wish we were more than that. I mean, after the spring, she looks so beautiful and even dare I say it, sexy. I do have feelings for her but I don't know what..."

Pikachu interrupted and asked. "Is it love?"

Which surprised Guilmon at this, but he nodded, knowing it to be the truth.

"I am not surprised. I feel the same way towards the girl Lucario whom I met during my fight against Mewtwo." Pikachu told Guilmon.

"Listen, whoever we are up against, I'm gonna need your help." Guilmon said, before saying. "I know we haven't exactly got off at a good start at first but we need each other in order to save both worlds."

"I agree." Pikachu replied, before he requested. "But you got to promise me you'll protect Lucario for me."

"Same goes for you to help me protect Renamon." Guilmon said in reply.

"Promised." Both said in unison as they felt their bond become stronger.

But then, Guilmon began to vanish, causing Pikachu to quickly say.

"See ya later. And it would be a honor to fight alongside you."

Guilmon nodded and disappeared.

-Moments later: Back outside his mind-

When he woke up, the helmet was off of his head and he was back in his merged body, in which Patamon asked curiously. "Did it work?"

"Yes it did. I spoke to my little guest and we're all set." Guilmon replied, before he asked. "Who's next?"

Stepping forward, Renamon took in a deep sigh and said. "I guess I will."

As she and Guilmon switched places, Guilmon gave her a reassuring nod, telling her that she'd be fine, which made Renamon smile, knowing she could trust Guilmon as she placed the helmet over her head.

And moments later, she too was out, sitting in the chair, like she was in a meditative state.

-Inside Renamon's mind-

Renamon found herself in her own mind back to her usual self.

Looking around, everything seemed to be in balance as the sky was black; the ground was white, while her shadow looked like a dark mirrored image of her, a BlackRenamon beneath her, as the sun/moon was both colours above, the symbol of balance.

However, Renamon was surprised to see a giant photo of a muscular Guilmon behind, making her blush, before she looked past it and saw Lucario, who was trapped by her mind's vines, in which she approached her and they told each other of their origins, friendships and other's stories.

When Lucario questioned about Guilmon, Renamon blushed and told her. "He is so cute and good-hearted. At first he acts like a little child but now he's really matured and he has saved my life many times, not to mention Rika's. I cannot help but fall in love with him but I am afraid he won't feel the same way."

"I feel the same way about Pikachu as well." Lucario replied, felling empathy towards Renamon, before saying. "But we've got to tell them sooner."

In reply, Renamon nodded, before they continued talking, mostly about the males that mean so much in their lives.

-Many hours later-

Each of the Digimon took turns after Renamon and spoke to their Pokémon partners, getting to know them better and also talk about their mates and how much they want to be with them.

"Well, that's about everyone now." Blastoise said through Gabumon as he turned the machine off, before asking. "So are we all acquainted now?"

"We are. We got to know our Digimon 'allies' well and we agreed to work together to defeat whoever's behind all of this." Charizard said through Agumon.

"And so are we! We're ready to help as well!" Veemon called out in his usual enthusiastic and determined tone.

However, they were interrupted when Gumdramon came in and stated. "Shoutmon and Lunamon have found it out! We now know who is behind all of this and where they are hiding."

"They did?!" everyone asked.

"They did through Celebi's time travel and Mew's telepathy," Gumdramon replied.

"Let's go!" Guilmon said as they all headed towards the throne room to get the answer from the Digimon King himself.
