Episode 3

Discussing A New Buddy

"Yesterday was the first day I met Gatchmon and it turned out to be the greatest day of my life."

"I know, I was sure I found the right buddy for me."

"Yeah, me too; but this was just the beginning of this new story."

"Of course, we couldn't do it for ourselves."

"Yeah, we needed allies, not just us."

"Well, I guess it's time to introduce myself, right?"

"Not yet."

"Phew."

"You are still nervous, don't worry, it will be fine. Trust us."

"Ok, Haru, I believe in you once again, just like when we met, remember?"

"Yeah, I remember because this chapter shows us the first ally Applidriver we met."

"Ok, Here I come…It started like this..."

Gene, Hi-Five and Jailbreak just watched Haru and Gatchmon heading back home after purifying Messemon in chip forms, just like Gatchmon said Not Appliarised Appmons are in their artificial and transparent chip forms without being seen when they are in the Real World.

Hi-Five: I still can't believe we are Appmons.

Jailbreak: Neither, but I hope there is some logical explanation. (Now Angry) And what makes me angry is that we can't access to Textopolis right now, and I can't find why is that either!

Gene: You have to be calm, guys, the solution so far is not easy, but it can be almost similar when we went to the cloud back there.

Hi-Five: Yeah, but this seems to be harder. And you said you will find a buddy for us.

Gene: But that is not easy we must find the one that fits better to us. There are tons of candidates, anyone can be the ideal one.

Jailbreak: But we have to be near Gatchmon, since he is a searching Appmon, he could be our only hope for now, and we don't know everyone else, and personally I am not sure if we can trust in them, there could be back stabbings.

Hi-Five: Yeah, but if we meet another Gatchmon.

Jailbreak: Not sure if is a good idea, That Gatchmon is the only who knows about us, at least know that we are here and nothing else, but if we find another but is not friendly and is one of Leviathan's minions or infected slaves, is going to be unlikely that other Gatchmon possibly helps us. That's my point but that could happen if I am right.

Hi-Five: Good point. It can happen.

Gene: Well, I said that we can have ourselves a buddy just like Gatchmon, That could help us to reach our goal and solve the mystery of what is happening here.

Jailbreak: But there could be one problem to that, there is a buddy Appmon paired for each human who received an Applidrive, and there could be that since we don't actually belong here don't let us to give an Applidrive to someone and we could choose one human for each one of us but I think just like Gene said we can better choose one human.

Hi-Five: But who? There are literally many humans we can choose. How did Gatchmon choose Haru as his buddy?

Jailbreak: If I am not mistaken, Gatchmon chose Haru because according to him, he saw potential in Haru and they seemed perfectly linked together.

Hi-Five: He said that Haru has the potential of becoming a main character or something like that.

Gene: Well, if that's true. We should better search- (suddenly a magnifying glass appeared) Wow, This is new!

Jailbreak: This one looks like Gatchmon's

Hi-Five: That is really new.

Gene: Ok, Let's find our buddy. (Starts searching with the magnifying glass and then after finding someone, he shows the photo of a cool looking guy with a basketball uniform). Ok, what do you think about that guy called Keith Alvarez in the USA of this universe, basketball star, popular with ladies, and mean with the "losers", Okay, maybe not; another suggestion?

Hi-Five: Aww, Actually, It could have been fun that guy, at least for me because it seems very popular and if we become popular in this universe after defeating whoever is Leviathan and maybe we could be famous, with toys, a tv series, even a movie, also a pilot, and…

Gene: Hi-Five!

Hi-Five: Sorry, I got distracted (Jailbreak laughs and rolls her eyes) What's so funny?

Jailbreak: Figures, you would want someone narcissistic as a buddy, because even if you became a "favorite" once again on the phone you still want more fame.

Hi-Five: That's not true.

Jailbreak: And, I guess you forgot that the Appmons can't be seen by other humans, genius.

And we are Appmons.

Hi-Five: Well, we can convince that Keith to make us be seen by other people and-

Jailbreak: It's not actually true, because apparently if someone is not an Applidriver, it can have strange consequences.

Gene: What kind of consequences?

Jailbreak: No idea, but let's better continue with the search. (Gene continues with the search until Hi-Five stops him, showing a girl with a dress, tiara and beautiful face, much to Jailbreak's disgust.)

Hi-Five: What about a female buddy like this one called "Princess" who wants to find a prince and live in a castle to live happily ever-

Jailbreak (interrupting) : No Way! Absolutely not!

Gene: Ah, Jailbreak, Are You Okay?

Jailbreak: Ah, Yes, Sorry, I think I am still sick of those princesses stereotypes.

Gene: Oh, That's true, You hate those ones.

Jailbreak: Even if I decided to use my real appearance those last days before today, I prefer being myself, not receiving praise.

Hi-Five: Even from friends?

Jailbreak: Yeah, I guess and being with a girl who suddenly acts like a real princess, I would run away with nothing to do with her.

Gene: Ok, so another suggestion then. (Continues with his magnifying glass, Jailbreak stops him, she gets interested.)

Jailbreak: What about him? (Shows a photo of Yuujin.)

Hi-Five: Yuujin Oozora?

Jailbreak: Yeah, I think he fits in all categories. Nice, Friendly, Charismatic, Athletic, Overall an ideal "main character", and possibly our biggest buddy as well he knows Haru pretty well.

Hi-Five: Yeah, I agree

Gene: I'm not sure

(Hi-Five and Jailbreak end up confused)

Hi-Five: What are you talking about?

Gene: Well, it's a little confusing, but what if it's one of those people…

Jailbreak: What do you mean with that?

Gene: I don't have anything against him, However, I'm not sure if he can be the one, because...it's kind of complicated.

Hi-Five: That is ok, but who is going to choose?

Gene: I think we can choose by observing who could be the best candidate, are you ok with that?

Hi-Five: Yeah, it will be exciting.

Jailbreak: I can't see why not.

Gene: Ok, let 's go.

(Meanwhile near the same place but on the other side, there are two boys one with dark brown hair named Eduardo but they usually call him Edy by short and another that has dirty-blonde hair who is one of his classmates currently challenging him to do something unexpected.)

Edy: Well here I am so let's go, I can do it (concentrating), I can do it (still concentrating but getting nervous), I… can… (getting more nervous), Aaaahhhh, I can't do it!

Paul: Come On, You can do this, I know you can, just like you always tame the monsters in the video games and how you always come with a plan towards any situation.

Edy: I hope...I can do this. (He approaches to a girl around his age, with dirty blonde hair, amber eyes and has a pink skirt, white pants and pink sandals. Her name is Natalia Zubieta, she is known for being a very nice and open girl, love for animals, love for sceneries, love for friends, in other word a totally lovely girl.)

Gene: I think this one is perfect.

Hi-Five: Are you serious?

Gene: Yes, he is very emotional, and apparently his friend says that he comes almost always with a plan and that he tames monsters.

Jailbreak: But from video games.

Gene: Yes, but we are now Appmons, and I got a feeling that he can tame us all three of us and also I searched him among all the candidates, he is emotional, he is friendly but shy just like Haru, has a crush on that Natalia girl and his dream is to explore the unknown and to have a purpose in that unknown and most of all he is trustworthy and can't escape from almost impossible promises.

Jailbreak: That is an amazing search, Gatchmon would be proud or maybe jealous if he discovers you can search the same way he does.

Hi-Five: But why him over Yuujin?

Gene: Because I felt Yuujin is kind of flat for some reason and barely shows his real emotions.

Hi-Five: Oh, but I don't see what is flat of him?

Jailbreak: Anyways, I think we should consider him our buddy, right?

Gene: Yes, but I hope we don't replace someone else as his real buddy Appmon.

Jailbreak: Do you think he is going to have a real buddy?

Gene: There is always a possibility.

Jailbreak: True.

Gene: But we are also taking the opportunity, and I think we should have an Applidrive to recruit him. But how do we get one?

?: I have one

(The three got confused for who said that)

Gene: Who are you?

Hi-Five: Show yourself.

?: Don't worry, I am not your enemy, I just wanted to say that you are here for a reason.

Jailbreak: What kind of reason?

?: You will find out in due time, for the moment, I hope that the human you chose is your chosen one to be your Applidriver.

(An Applidrive appears on a magic light, and the three managed to appear in their "Appliarised" forms. The three got shocked when they appeared right now with physical bodies.)

?: Make yourself an entrance for your new buddy.

(The voice disappeared, the three got confused but still, they decided to do what she said.)

(Meanwhile Edy enters his house some time later.)

Edy: Hi, Mom

Edy's mother: Hi honey, how was your day?

Edy: It was good

Edy's mother: Good, Oh, and somebody sent this gift box to you. (Shows a gift box)

Edy: A gift box? But my birthday is in the October 30th

Edy's mother: Maybe, someone decided to send it to you right now.

Edy: Maybe (reads the note) It says anonymous. Intriguing.

(Inside the box; Gene, Hi-Five and Jailbreak are in the box)

Edy: What's in that gift box? I hope it is not a prank. (Opens the gift box and reveals that inside has a locked Applidrive and three Appmon Chips.) What are those weird things? (Takes the chips and checks them.)

Gene (Inside The Chip): We are not things, indeed (Frightens Edy.)

Edy (Stuttering): Who said that?

Gene: It was me. (His holographic projection appears) Hi.

Edy (gets shocked and drops the chip): WHAT THE HECK?!

(Meanwhile)

Paul: What is this?! (Looking at his phone and he's being defeated suddenly.)

Other Kid: Yes, I win!

Paul: But, How is this even possible?! My Level 40, Golden Knight shouldn't have been destroyed with that puny attack.

Other Kid: Well, It looks like my cards managed to (He gets shocked when he sees his phone) What is this?! My life points are decreasing suddenly?!

Paul: Mine too? Is there a glitch?

(It's actually an Appmon that looks like an anthropomorphic card with the "Golden Knight" with health points and attack points that are dropping to zero who suddenly changes his picture into a black imp-like creature with shining red eyes, His health and attack points suddenly show question marks, and is surrounded with black aura, he is chuckling mischievously.)

To be continued…

Sorry if it was rushed or something like that
