After defeating Orochimon, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Namimé, Brendan, May, Max, Lisia, Tai, Matt, Sora T, Izzy, Mimi, TK, Kari, Davis, Ken, Yolei, Cody, Amy, Takuya, Koji, JP, Zoe, Tommy, Koichi, Zach, Marina, Jason, Patrick, Pikachu, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, Mime Jr, Munchlax, Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon, Patamon, Gatomon, Veemon, Wormmon, Hawkmon Armadillomon, Lunamon, Bokomon, and Neemon went back to searching for the rest of their friends, knowing how things are escalating in Hollow Bastion.
"I just hope we find them before something bad happens," Kari said.
"So do I, Kari. I don't even wanna think about how bad things will get unless we reunite with the others and soon," Zoe said.
"Yeah, but Devimon isn't going to make it easy for us, and we all know it. We just gotta be on our toes," Gatomon said.
"I always wanted to dance in the ballet," Neemon said, standing on his tippy toes.
"That's not what she meant by being on our toes, you nitwit!" Bokomon said, snapping his pants, making him fall forward.
"My dancing career is over before it started," Neemon said.
Meanwhile, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Takato, Henry, Rika, Ryo, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Suzie, Marill, Guil, Guilmon, Terriermon, Renamon, Monodramon, Elecmon, Kokuwamon, Penguinmon, Lopmon, Impmon, and Calumon made a stop to rest their feet.
"How much longer do we keep looking, Ash? We've been looking hard for them, and we're nowhere near finding them," Ethan said.
"Well, we can't give on finding them. I mean, Sora and the others are doing the same thing for us, I just know it," Ash said.
"Well, I hope we find them soon enough. I don't wanna think about what that awful Devimon will do to us when he catches up with us," Jeri said.
"I don't either. Maybe Orochimon would find us and use each of those ugly heads to eat us with," Lyra said.
"Marill," Marill said.
"Well, that legless centipede might as well come after us for all I care! I'll just Digivolve into Beelzemon and make make a pair of snake-skin boots out of him," Impmon said.
"I don't know. Our last battle took a bad toll on you. We kinda saw it," Leaf said.
"But Impmon is right. We're gonna have to fight him when we see him," Ethan said.
"And we're gonna have to be ready for him," Kris said.
They all nodded with agreement as Guil sniffed the air.
"Char?" Guil asked.
"What is it, Guil?" Takato asked.
"Charmeleon," Guil said.
"Something's coming this way?" Lyra asked.
"Rill?" Marill asked.
"Could it be another evil Digimon?" Kris asked.
"Or could it be Heartless, Nobodies, or Unversed?" Leaf asked.
"Be ready for either," Ash said. They were about to summon their Keyblades when Impidimp and Hatenna showed up in front of them. "Wha? Those aren't Digimon, they're Pokémon."
"What kind of Pokémon are they?" Kris asked.
"That's a Hatenna and an Impidimp," Ryo said.
"I never seen these Pokémon before," Lyra said.
"You wouldn't have. These came from the Galar region," Henry said.
"But how did they end up in the Digital World to begin with?" Jeri asked.
"Maybe they ended up in a portal that connects our two worlds," Henry said.
"Well, we can't just leave them here in this world," Takato said.
"Takato's right. They don't belong here," Ash said. Takato bends down to the two Pokémon and smiled.
"How would you like to come with us?" Takato asked.
"Imp?" Impidimp asked.
"Hatenna," Hatenna said.
"If you come with us, I can guarantee you'll be given a new home. How about it?" Takato asked. Not taking long to respond, Impidimp and Hatenna took Takato up on his offer by hugging him by the legs. "That was easier than expected."
"They must like the idea you gave them," Guilmon said.
"Char," Guil said.
"And I think it's a good one. I'm sure Ai and Mako would love them to pieces," Jeri said.
"Ai, Mako? Your brother and sister, right?" Kris asked.
"Yeah, I promised them that I would catch them a Pokémon for each of them as a playmate until they're old enough to be Pokémon Trainers," Takato said.
"Charmeleon," Guil said.
"But we can get to that later. We still have some friends to find before something happens," Leaf said.
"She's right. Devimon isn't sitting around and twiddling his thumbs," Rika said.
"He could be hatching a plan as we speak," Renamon said.
"Let's go!" Ethan said.
With that said, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Takato, Henry, Rika, Ryo, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Suzie, Marill, Guil, Guilmon, Terriermon, Renamon, Monodramon, Elecmon, Kokuwamon, Penguinmon, Lopmon, Impmon, and Calumon are joined by Impidimp and Hatenna and went back to looking for their missing friends.
Speaking of which, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Namimé, Brendan, May, Max, Lisia, Tai, Matt, Sora T, Izzy, Mimi, TK, Kari, Davis, Ken, Yolei, Cody, Amy, Takuya, Koji, JP, Zoe, Tommy, Koichi, Zach, Marina, Jason, Patrick, Pikachu, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, Mime Jr, Munchlax, Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon, Patamon, Gatomon, Veemon, Wormmon, Hawkmon Armadillomon, Lunamon, Bokomon, and Neemon arrived to a castle next to a pond.
"Is that another castle in the Digital World?" Max asked.
"I think I know what that is. It's gotta be the Gekomon Castle," Palmon said.
"Gekomon Castle?" Sora, Kairi, Riku, Namimé, Brendan, May, Max, Lisia, Amy, Takuya, Koji, JP, Zoe, Tommy, Koichi, Zach, Marina, Jason, and Patrick asked.
"Yeah. We know that place alright. We can ask the Gekomon and Otamamon inside the castle. They'll help us," Mimi said.
"If they're friends of yours, then we should ask them," May said.
"Good idea, May. That's what we'll do," Kairi said.
Taking May's suggestion to heart, they approach the castle and Sora knocked on the door, only to be greeted by a splash of water. The culprits are a pair of Digimon holding a bucket.
One is a purple pollywog Digimon with developed forelimbs and undeveloped hind limbs. It has a wide mouth with several pointed teeth, round eyes, and its tail end in a web of skin supported by bony rays. This Digimon is Otamamon.
The other Digimon resembles a green frog with a wiry body, a white underbelly, yellow webs between its digits, and has a crazed look. It has a horn coiled around its neck, pointed teeth, and its tongue has three holes at the tip. This Digimon is Gekomon.
"Hey, what's the joke?!" Sora exclaimed.
"The joke is you think you can just take your fued to the max in our parts!" Gekomon said.
"Gekomon, Otamamon, it's me!" Mimi said. The two Digimon looked at the group and came down.
"Oh, Princess Mimi! We didn't know it was you!" Gekomon said.
"Princess Mimi?" Sora asked. Mimi sheepishly chuckled.
"It's a long story," Mimi said. "Do you mind lettung us in?"
"Anything for you," Otamamon said.
As soon as the doors opened, Sora is given some dry clothes to wear while his are drying. Otamamon and Gekomon felt bad for drenching Sora like they did.
"Sorry about earlier at the door. It's just we thought you were one of them," Gekomon said.
"One of who?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, who did you think it was?" Tai asked.
"We thought you were some Gazimon or some Nanimon sent by an Etemon and a Volcamon," Gekomon said.
"Wait, did you say Etemon?" Joe asked.
"Yeah, I did," Gekomon said.
"You know an Etemon?" Brendan asked.
"Yeah, Etemon was our second enemy after Devimon," Tai said.
"I first Digivolved into MetalGreymon and blasted that monkey into oblivion," Agumon said.
"And so we thought. It wasn't until after we split up that he survived and Digivolved into MetalEtemon. He wanted to exact his revenge against us. Our old friend Leomon helped us, but he sacrificed himself to protect Mimi when he Digivolved into SaberLeomon. He destroyed MetalEtemon once and for all," Joe explained.
"Well, Etemon and his crew of Gazimon have been gathering here and causing some noise, we just can't take it," Gekomon said.
"Not just that, but his rival Volcamon and his crew of Nanimon came along and stirred things up," Otamamon said.
"From what I heard about Etemon and Volcamon, they've been fierce rivals for as long time itself," Bokomon said.
"What exactly are they doing?" Patrick asked.
"They've been making a so much noise! That's what!" Gekomon said.
"All that over some noise?" Lisia asked.
"Why don't you just ask them to keep it down?" Max asked.
"We did, but they just chased us off. They're just so very rude and not to mention, their taste in music is horrid!" Gekomon said.
"Afterwards, we were afraid they'll come here just to bully us, so we were ready for them," Otamamon said.
"That explains the wet welcome I got," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Chu," Xipak said.
"Just where are they hanging out?" Riku asked.
"There!" Gekomon said, pointing to the colorful searchlights in the distance. "That's gotta be one of them now!" Gekomon said.
"We better have a look into this," Kairi said.
"Vee," Angel said.
"Eevee," Celeste said.
Agreeing with Kairi, they followed the colorful searchlights and the sound of an electric guitar is heard. They saw a bunch of gray canine Digimon with long, lapine ears, large, black claws on their forelimbs, and a long, feline tail, wrapped with three belts. These are Gazimon.
And on stage there is a humanoid wearing an orange monkey suit with a white tip on his tail. He wears a pair of black sunglasses and has a Monzaemon toy attached to the right side of his waist. He has stitches on the upper left arm and tail and a zipper on the lower right arm. He is playing an electric guitar. This Digimon is Etemon. The veteran DigiDestined recognized the Digimon on stage.
"It is Etemon!" Sora T exclaimed.
"Yeah, but something's different about him," Biyomon said.
The Gazimon and Nanimon were cheering heartily as the rock music is being played.
"Are you ready?!" Etemon announced to the crowd of Gazimon and Nanimon in an Elvis Presley voice.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" The Gazimon and Nanimon chanted.
(Etemon)
All of you are gathered here before me
Adore me!
And you're here before me!
Then, cheer for me, ya feel me!
The Ultimate King with the singing!
Nobody else can touch the rhymes I'm flinging
This is entertainment!
Who is the King of Digimon?! Let me hear you say it!
"Etemon!" The Gazimon and Nanimon cheered.
"King of Digimon!" Etemon shouted.
"Etemon!" The Gazimon and Nanimon cheered.
"You guys are awesome! Thank you! Thank you very much!" Etemon said. Just then, the whole began to shake as booming music is being played. Smoke erupted from the hill as a figure came out.
"Exercise!" A loud assertive voice shouted. They also see a Digimon that looks like an armored muscular man with a volcano on his back. He carries a microphone and for some reason, has D-1 marked on his chest.
"That's Volcamon, but he looks different from the one I fought before," JP said.
"Vol-ca! Vol-ca! Vol-ca! Vol-ca!" Volcamon shouted, doing some exercise movements. The Gazimon and Nanimon followed the movements. Etemon growled in anger.
"Ooh, that guy's crashing my party again," Etemon growled. He lets out more explosion as he began to sing his song.
Hussle, muscle, wanna be the master?
Add another weight and work a little faster!
Biceps, biceps, abs, and pecs!
Glistering pecs, powerful flex!
Abs like a chocolate six pack!
Not working out? Get back on track!
King of Digimon! What's my name?!
"Volcamon!" The Gazimon and Nanimon cheered.
"You gotta be kidding me! Whose side are you guys on?" Etemon asked.
"Come on! Vol-ca! Vol-ca! Vol-ca!" Volcamon chanted as the Gazimon and Nanimon chanted along with Volcamon. Determined to steal his thunder back, he plays his guitar again.
"Let's get back to entertainment!" Etemon said.
The Gazimon and Nanimon cheered before some of them cleared the way as Etemon and Volcamon approach each other with a growl.
"Alright, answer me this! What is it that one must do in order to be crowned as the one and only King of Digimon?" Volcamon asked.
"Entertainment," Etemon quickly replied.
"You're wrong! The right answer is exercise!" Volcamon shouted. He began to flex his muscles. "Behold! These beautiful hulking muscles!" His back erupted in an explosion.
"Entertainment!" Etemon shouted as he played his guitar. "Nobody out there, not even you is better than me! I'm the best of the best!" The Gazimon and Nanimon cheered wildly to the musical beat. He gets into Volcamon's face. "What do you say we find out who the King of Digimon really is?!"
"Wherever and whenever, pal!" Volcamon said, getting into Etemon's voice.
"Let the battle begin!" Etemon and Volcamon said.
"They're taking their rivalry to the max," Naminé said.
"Azu, Azu," Azurill said.
"I'll say. I heard of noisy neighbors, but this is taking it quite literally," Riku said.
Etemon and Volcamon quickly noticed the group of kids, Pokémon, and Digimon.
"Hey, who's that?" Etemon asked.
"Beats me," Volcamon said.
"I think they just noticed us," May said.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious, May," Max deadpanned.
"Hey, I think I know who they are. They're the DigiDestined!" Etemon said.
"Yeah, the same DigiDestined who beat you a while back!" Tai said. This greatly confuses Etemon.
"Um, are you Do I know you?" Etemon asked.
"Don't pretend you don't remember! We blasted you when you got tangeled into your own Dark Network!" Agumon said. Etemon gave it some thought until the very thought came to him.
"The Etemon you know was my narcissistic cousin. He had a lot of anger issues, baby! And since you're the no good kids who did that to him, I should wring you out to dry!" Etemon said.
"Not before I do! I can make minced meat out of these chumps!" Volcamon said.
"No, me!" Etemon argued.
"Let's make it into a contest! Whoever defeats them first has the right to be called the King of Digimon!" Volcamon proposed.
"And it's going to be me!" Etemon boasted.
"Wrong! It's going to be me!" Volcamon stated.
"I saw this coming a mile away," Sora said as he summoned his Kingdom Key as Kairi summoned her Destiny's Embrace. Riku, Naminé, Brendan, and May summoned their Keyblades as well. The Keyblade wielders and the Pokémon engaged the two opposing Digimon. Sora swung his Keyblade at Etemon, but he blocked it with his electric guitar. Pikachu and Xipak dashed at him with a combo Quick Attack. Eevee fired a Shadow Ball as Angel and Celeste fired Swift, hitting Volcamon.
"You furballs insult my muscles with those flimsy attacks!" Volcamon said as he came at the three Eevee, but Brendan smacked him with his Omega Ruby Groudon.
"You need to cool off! Blizzard!" Brendan shouted, casting a blizzard spell, hitting him. Volcamon broke out of the ice just by flexing. "Okay, that didn't work."
"It's going to take more than your pathetic ice to keep me down! Big Boom Tackle!" Volcamon shouted as he ran toward Brendan, but he jumped out of the way. Brendan and May came at Volcamon as they struck him with their Keyblades. "Is that supposed to hurt me! Don't me laugh!" Volcamon's back erupts, sending them back. Kairi and Naminé joined in against Volcamon as Kairi casts a crystal spell, hitting him.
Riku joins Sora against Etemon as he swings his Braveheart at Etemon, blocking with his electric guitar. Etemon forms a green orb in right hand.
"Dark Network!" Etemon shouted as he threw it at Sora and Riku. Sora swings his Kingdom Key, sending it back.
"Home run!" Sora said. Etemon tried to punch Sora, but he ducked his head.
"We should join in!" Lunamon said.
"Agreed. Let's do this thing!" Zach said as he took out his Digivice. Takuya, Koji, JP, Zoe, Tommy, Koichi, Zach, Marina, Jason, and Patrick activated their Digivices.
"Execute! Spirit Evolution!" Takuya, Koji, JP, Zoe, Tommy, Koichi, Zach, Marina, Jason, and Patrick as they transformed into their Digimon forms.
"Agunimon!"
"Lobomon!"
"Beetlemon!"
"Kazemon!"
"Kumamon!"
"Loweemon!"
"Mercurymon!"
"Ranamon!"
"Grumblemon!"
"Arbormon!"
Davis, Ken, Yolei, Cody, TK, and Kari took out their Digivices and they gave off a glow.
"Digi-Armor Energize!" Davis, Yolei, Cody, TK, and Kari shouted.
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Hawkmon Armor Digivolve to...
"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Patamon Armor Digivolve to..."
"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to..."
Veemon transformed into a quadrupedal creature with blue skin that looks like a grown version of Veemon. He wears armor on his face, torso, shoulders and thighs, he has a spike protruding from his mask and lightning-shaped spikes from his back. The armor is black with a yellow and black band running down his sides, red headlights on his shoulders and metal pads on its thighs. The forehead spike and the armor's black coloration are references to the Digi-Egg of Friendship, with which it is intimately associated.
"Raidramon, the Storm of Friendship!"
Hawkmon transformed into a humanoid Digimon dressed in an archetypal ninja garb, complete with a mask concealing its face apart from its yellow, glowing eyes and stiff, bushy hair. It wears leaves as a mantle and has spring-like vines for limbs. It has a big, four-pointed shuriken on its back and three-pointed shuriken on the tip of its limbs. his headband bears the Crest of Sincerity.
"Shurimon, the Samurai of Sincerity!"
"Digmon, the Drill of Knowledge!"
"Pegasusmon, the Galloping Hope!"
"Nefertimon, the Angel of Light!"
Tai, Matt, Sora T, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, Ken, and Amy's Digivices began to glow bright.
"Agumon Digivolve to... Greymon!"
"Gabumon Digivolve to... Garurumon!"
"Biyomon Digivolve to... Birdramon!"
"Tentomon Digivolve to... Kabuterimon!"
"Palmon Digivolve to... Togemon!"
"Wormmon Digivolve to... Stingmon!"
"Lunamon Digivolve to... Lekismon!"
The Digimon went for the two opposing Digimon.
"Thunder Blast!" Raidramon shouted, firing a stream of blue electricity.
"Double Star!" Shurimon shouted as he threw a large shuriken at them.
"Gold Rush!" Digmon shouted as he fired his drills at them.
"Moon Night Kick!" Lekismon shouted as she came at Etemon, but he easily overpowered her.
"Lekismon!" Amy gasped.
"Dark Network!" Etemon shouted, throwing his energy attack at them.
"Dark Reflection!" Mercurymon shouted as he deflected Etemon's attack and sent it back. Etemon jumped out of the way.
"Here's a little hot foot! Pyro Darts!" Agunimon shouted, firing fireballs from his fists.
Lobomon, "Howling Laser!"
Beetlemon, "Thunder Fist!"
Kazemon, "Hurricane Wave!"
Kumamon, "Blizzard Blaster!"
Loweemon, "Shadow Meteor!"
Grumblemon, "Seismic Sledge!"
Arbormon, "Blockade Seed!"
Ranamon, "Draining Rain!"
The other Legendary Warriors launched their attacks, but Etemon and Volcamon uses the power of their sound waves to deflect them all.
Greymon, "Nova Blast!"
Garurumon, "Howling Blaster!"
Birdramon, "Meteor Wing!"
Kabuterimon, "Electro Shocker!"
Togemon, "Needle Spray!"
Ikkakumon, "Harpoon Torpedo!"
Stingmon, "Spiking Strike!"
Lekismon," Moon Night Bomb!"
The Champion level Digimon launched their attacks at Etemon and Volcamon, but their sound waves blocked them all and they easily overpowered them all. Etemon gave a heavy punch onto Togemon as Volcamon gave Birdramon spin by her tail feathers, hitting the surrounding Digimon.
"They're too strong," Stingmon said.
"They're Ultimate level Digimon, so of course, you wouldn't easily overpower them," Ken said.
"Concert Crush!" Etemon shouted, playing his guitar.
"Magma Bass!" Volcamon shouted.
They both let out loud sound attacks that drain all of the Digimon of their energy and making the Keyblade wielders and Pokémon cover their ears.
"My ears!" Kairi cried.
"Too loud!" Brendan exclaimed. The Digimon reverted back to their previous forms, drained of energy.
"We're drained of energy," Gatomon said.
"I don't even have energy to become Angemon," Patamon said.
"Is that it? I was expecting more of a fight from these chumps," Volcamon said.
"Try this! Dark thunder!" Riku shouted, casting a dark thunder spell, hitting Volcamon. He ams at Etemon and casts a darkness spell, hitting Etemon.
"You don't know when to quit, do you?" Etemon asked.
"We're not gonna back down, and we won't make it easy for you either," Riku said.
"He's right. You're gonna have to get out of bed very early to get the best of us," Sora said.
"Pikachu!" The two Pikachu said.
"Eevee!" The three Eevee said.
"We won't let you stop us!" Kairi said.
"Big talk, little girl, but big talk don't win fights!" Volcamon said.
"For once, I agree with you, Volcamon! There can only be one winner, and the contest is over when all of you bites the dust!" Etemon said. Palmon steps in.
"Mimi, try using your Digivice just so I can Digivolve again," Palmon said.
"But, Palmon..." Mimi said.
"I know I lost against those two, but I won't give up. Think you can trust me on this, Mimi?" Palmon asked. Mimi looked at her partner and saw how serious she is, so Mimi nodded.
"I'm backing you up, Palmon," Mimi said.
"What can she do against those two?" Lisia asked.
"Yeah, she and the others lost against those two," Max pointed out.
"I know, so if Palmon is still in it, then so am I!" Mimi said as she held her Digivice into the air. Palmon began to Digivolve again.
"Palmon Digivolve to..." Instead of Togemon, Palmon has transformed into a cactus-like Digimon that looks like Togemon, but this new Digimon wore an orange poncho, a sombrero and a pair of boxing gloves. "Ponchomon!"
"Ponchomon?" The group all asked, confused.
"That isn't Togemon, is it?" Marina asked.
"No, it's a separate Digivolution. Ponchomon," Bokomon said.
"What do you know about this new Digimon, Bokomon?" Max asked.
"Ponchomon is an Armor level Digimon like Flamedramon, Halsemon, and Digmon. But there was no Digi-Egg to make this Digivolution possible, but anything is possible in the Digital World," Bokomon said.
"You gotta believe!" Neemon said.
"For once, you're right," Bokomon said.
"Yay!" Neemon, feeling glad that he didn't earn a pants snap.
"Ponchomon. You're my Digimon?" Mimi asked.
"Si, Mimigo! It was your belief that made me take this new form!" Ponchomon said in a Mexican accent.
"Mimigo?" The group all asked. Mimi giggled, liking that nickname.
"Gracias, Ponchomon. Take them both down!" Mimi said.
"You can count on me!" Ponchomon said. She stepped in to join the fight against Etemon and Volcamon. "Leave these hombres to me, mi amigos! I can handle them!"
"Okay, go for it!" Sora said as he and the other Keyblade wielders left the fight and left it to Ponchomon.
"Who's this chump?" Volcamon asked.
"I don't know, but there's only two of us and one of him," Etemon said.
"Just because there's only the two of you, it doesn't mean you have the edge over me!" Ponchomon said.
"You're a bit too boastful for your own good! Taking us both on at once is going to be your last mistake!" Etemon said.
"After one of us buries you six feet under!" Volcamon said.
"Bring it on!" Ponchomon dared her two opponents.
"Fine! Dark Network!" Etemon shouted, throwing a green ball of energy at Ponchomon, but she just dodged it just by dancing to the left. Volcamon charges at Ponchomon.
"Big Boom Tackle!" Volcamon shouted as he charged at her, but Ponchomon just jumped out of the way in time.
"Olé!" The group shouted as Ponchomon jumped. She lands on her non-existant feet.
"My turn! Tequila Knuckle!" Ponchomon shouted, landing a powerful punch into Etemon's gut. Ponchomon then summons two maracas in her hands. "AY-AY-AY-AY-AY! Blood Dance: Maracas Version!" Ponchomon struck both Volcamon and Etemon with a burst of green energy from her maracas.
"I can't tell if Ponchomon is either fighting or dancing," Koji said.
"I can't tell either, but she's making Etemon and Volcamon look like amatuers," Takuya said.
"And it looks like we're getting an enjoyable show out of it!" Lisia said.
Ponchomon lands one more hit onto Etemon and Volcamon, sending then flying against two boulders, making them crumble.
"Poncho, Poncho, Poncho!" Ponchomon said as Etemon and Volcamon erupts out of the rubble, enraged over about how they were being overpowered.
"This cannot stand! I will not allow you to insult my muscles in such a manner!" Volcamon shouted.
"Nobody makes a monkey out of me and walks!" Etemon shouted. Both Etemon and Volcamon ran toward Ponchomon from both sides, but Ponchomon dances out of the way, allowing Etemon and Volcamon punch each other instead.
"Tequila Punch!" Ponchomon shouted, landing a heavy punch onto Etemon and Volcamon, knocking the both of them out.
"I lost!" Etemon and Volcamon exclaimed as they lay on the ground, beaten.
"Way to go, Ponchomon!" Mimi cheered.
"Mimigo," Ponchomon said, smiling.
"That was awesome," May said.
"That it was," Volcamon agreed as he stood up, but he was intoxicated. "You should form a duet with me. We can motivate many Digimon with your rhythm and my muscles."
"No, form it with me," Etemon said, also intoxicated. "We can bring entertainment to the next level." Ponchomon reverts back into Palmon.
"Thanks, but no. It's a tempting offer, but I'm not looking for a musical career in the near future," Palmon said.
"You two just need to take your act someplace else," Sora said.
"Why should we?" Volcamon asked.
"Yeah, who do you think you are to tell us where we can perform, kid?" Etemon asked.
"Well, this area is occupied by the Otamamon and Gekomon, and as much as they love music, you're disturbing them and they can't have you around. And since Ponchomon beat you both, you have to pack up and leave," Sora said.
"A real man knows when to quit. But there will be another day, Etemon! I'll show you that exercise trumps entertainment anyday!" Volcamon said.
"No, it's entertainment!" Etemon argued.
"Exercise!" Volcamon argued.
"ENTERTAINMENT!" Etemon shouted.
They argued as they take their leave.
"I don't think they're ever going to call it quits," Max said.
"Yeah, but we got them to leave, so that's a win for us," Tai said.
"Now, the Gekomon and Otamamon won't have to worry about those two again," Agumon said.
"Right. And I didn't the Etemon we fought had any relatives. They might be different, but the banana doesn't fall from the tree," Gomamon said.
"Don't you mean apple, Gomamon?" Joe asked.
"Hey, tomayto, tomahto. And besides, they're both monkeys, and everybody knows monkeys eats bananas," Gomamon said.
"Come on, you guys. We have to give the Gekomon and Otamamon the good news," Brendan said.
"He's right. We should go," Amy said.
"They'll he happy about them being gone," Lunamon said.
With that said, the group delievered the good news to the Gekomon and Otamamon back at the castle.
"Thanks for making them go away," Gekomon said.
"If you hadn't shown up, we would have become deaf from their awful music, and we don't even have ears," Otamamon said.
"We were happy to help you, because that's what friends do for each other," Mimi said.
"She's right. You helped us out so much, and we're glad we could return the favor," Palmon said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Vee," Celeste said.
"As for your missing friends, we hope you find them," Otamamon said.
"We do, too," Sora said.
"Chu," Pikachu said.
"Pika," Xipak said.
"We can help you again. They could be heading for the old chateau, just north of here," Gekomon said.
"What can you tell us about it?" Sora asked.
"We don't know much, but there are some stories and rumors that surrounds that place. That old house has been abandoned for hundreds of years. It's so creepy, not even Bakemon haunts it. But there's some stories that a Digimon still lives there for all these years," Gekomon said.
"A Digimon?" Sora asked. Most of the group thought of Wisemon. An agreement was formed on every one of them. "We'll look into it, and thanks."
