And So It Begins

(Summer Camp)

"That's home planet Earth but I'm not sure that's where I am right now." A mysterious voice as earth lead to an arid, desert-like landscape, barren except for a few stubborn green stalks.

"Okay let me back up a little; It all began when the climate went completely out of control, the rain forest dried out and other places got totally flooded with oceans like chocolate sauce." It then shows a coastal town was buried under a huge wave of light brown water.

Then on a street corner, people huddled inside their winter coats.

"And get this: places that were normally blazing hot in the summer got super cold." At the edge of a forest at the foot of towering mountains, tents are set up and children stroll around them.

"At the time I didn't know any of this was going on, because I was at camp. All of the other campers were, you know, goofing off and hanging out. Me? I was enjoying the summer sun while, uh...going over my multiplication tables." A young boy was lying on a tree branch, snoring. From the bright blue sky, a snowflake falls.

"That is, until it started to snow. In the middle of July! Totally freaky. And it gets weirder. You won't believe what happened to me and six other kids. Oh, by the way my name's Tai." Tai introduced himself.

"This is Sora. She's okay, for a girl." Tai introduces a girl wearing a yellow sleeveless turtleneck shirt with a white collar with a triangle under it and ruff on the bottom. She also wears red gloves, blue jeans with a pink belt with a pouch, dark gray sneakers with crimson highlights and lightning bolts on the soles, and a blue beanie with a cyan brim and straps named Sora Takenouchi.

"And Matt. Matt's too cool. Just look at that haircut!" Tai introduced a preteen boy with a green shirt, brown gloves, navy blue jeans, dark brown shoes with gray soles, light green socks Flower Power, and grey briefs with a white band. His name is Yamato "MATT" Ishida.

"And this little kid is Izzy. He should have gone to computer camp." He introduced a boy wearing a orange button-up shirt with rolled back sleeves, olive green shorts, light yellow gloves, light green socks and purple and gray shoes with a yellow lightning motif. Sitting inside with the laptop is Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi.

"That's Mimi. I bet you can guess her favorite color on the first try." Tai introduced a pretty girl with her hair tied back in a high ponytail with a yellow hairband, with long strands framing her face, but also wears it down sometimes. She wears a western-style red dress with a buttoned poncho, a dark brown belt with a golden buckle, light brown gloves with brown straps around the wrists, pink socks, and brown and white shoes. She also wears a large pink cowgirl hat with a white drawstring. Her name is Mimi Tachikawa.

"T.K. is Matt's dopey little brother." He introduced a boy, younger than the others is on his knees in the grass. His name is Takeru "T.K." Takaishi.

"Oh, and this is Joe. But don't ever scare him. He'd probably wet his pants." He introduced a tall boy with glasses. His name is Joe Kido.

Then there is one more person that is near a tree. He was a skinny, slender young boy with dark black hair, slightly tan skin, and brown eyes with two distinctive lightning bolt-like markings he wore a white and blue short-sleeved jacket with gold trim, a white-collar and sleeves, a dark teal T-shirt, blue jeans with light blue cuffs, black and white sneakers with red dots, green finger-less gloves with light green borders, and a red and white cap with a green stylized "L". next to him was a short, chubby rodent. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur.

"This one kid wearing a hat and has a mouse with him is Ash he's my best friend along with his Pokemon Pikachu." Tai said about his friend relaxing at the tree staring at the lake.

Not far away from them was a shirtless teenage boy with spiky brown hair and a dragon tattooed into his chest. A strange device was attached to the belt around his waist. A metal locket was also hanging around his neck.

"Finally the spiky brown haired boy is Ryu Yamamoto. He's the oldest camper here." Tai introduced the teenage boy.

Ash was resting on a tree when Sora came by and climbed the tree.

"Ash...Ash, wake up." She whispered. Ash let out a yawn and then stared at Sora.

"Sora, what's going on?" Ash asked her as he stretched.

"It's snowing, Ash." She replied, seeing a snowflake land on his cap.

"In the middle of spring?" He asked.

"Pika." Pikachu said.

"That's odd." Ryu commented. "This normally won't happen in the middle of spring."

"So there we were at camp, when suddenly this huge blizzard came out of nowhere! Needless to say, the canoe races were canceled. So let's have toboggan races instead!" Tai shouted.

"I'm gonna build the biggest snowman!" T.K yelled.

"Hey T.K be careful, slow down." Matt said chasing his younger brother as Ash walked over to them.

"Brrr! It is freezing. And I didn't bring a jacket." Sora said shivering.

"Must be an Articuno flying by." Ash wondered as he passed Sora a jacket.

"Thanks Ash." Sora said as Ash give her a thumb up.

"Man! I was worried I'd catch a summer cold. But this is even worse!" Joe said standing in the doorway of the shed.

"Take it easy Joe, it's just snow." Ash replied.

"Pika." Pikachu said.

"Ah! Why didn't I pack my fluffy pink snow boots?" Mimi asked herself.

"Still not working. Bummer. This storm's making a mess of my infrared internet connection." Izzy said.

"Hey what's your name...Izzy, come on out here. You've gotta see this!" Tai yelled.

Everyone was looking up at the sky to see lights like auroras.

"It's beautiful. Magical even." Mimi said with wide eyes.

"Yeah." Tai replied.

"Yeah, but what is it?" Izzy asked.

"Maybe an aurora?" Sora asked.

"You mean Aurora Borealis? The northern lights? That's impossible. You see that's in Alaska. We're way too far south." Izzy told Sora.

"He's right Sora...we're south and winter hasn't come yet." Ash pointed out.

"Tell that to the snow Ash." Sora said, not taking her eyes off the sky.

"I really think we ought to get back inside before we all come down with pneumonia." Joe said.

"And miss this? The sky is, like, short circuiting." Matt told him.

Tai was looking so hard at the sky that he saw some kind of portal behind the lights.

"Huh? Hey what's that?!" He said and then the portal shot out eight strange electronic devices heading straight for everyone.

They didn't have time to react because the devices shoot right at their feet like meteors. After the impact everyone was on the ground.

"Everyone, are you alright?" Sora asks being the first to recover.

"We're still here." Matt says while checking to see if T.K. was okay.

"That was scary." Mimi says with her hands on her hat.

"Wha-What was it?" Joe asked all freaked out.

"Meteors?" Izzy guesses looking into one of the holes form from the impact to see a strange glowing device.

"Okay so it's not meteors." He finished and then the eight devices floated up to each one of them.

"They each grabbed one and started asking questions.

"What are these?" Sora asks.

"My guess is some kind of miniaturized remote digital devices." Izzy answered.

"Interesting." Ash said.

"No instructions?" Joe asked.

"Forget the instructions, surf's up!" Tai shouted. Out of nowhere, a huge wave swelled over their heads. The wall of water picks them up, and sends them down a seemingly endless hole, lights of every color flashing as they fall, screaming.

"I knew I should have gone to cheerleading camp!" Mimi shouted. Ash then pulled out one of his Poke Balls.

"Noivern come out!" Ash ordered as he tossed it into the air. The ball opened to reveal a large, draconic Pokemon that resembles a bat. It is primarily black with a purple underbelly and greenish turquoise wing membranes. It has a purple lower jaw, red V-shaped growth on its snout, two fang-like projections on its upper lip, yellow eyes, and a greenish-turquoise color between its eyes and the V-shaped growth. Its large, teardrop-shaped ears have alternating rings of blue-green and black on the interiors and resemble loudspeakers. Around its neck is a fluffy mane of white fur that is longer in the back. Its wings have three red claws on the middle joint and are divided into segments by two black wing fingers. On the back of the wing, the final segment is purple. it's feet have two toes each and a red, claw-like growth on top of each toe. It has a long, whip-like tail with a blue-green underside and two spines near the tip.

"Noi!" Noivern shouted as he saved Ash and Pikachu in time and made it to land.

"Thanks Noivern return." Ash returned Noivern to his pokeball

"Now where did we land at?" Ash wondered seeing a new view he knew he's not in Camp any more as he walks around with Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Not so bad Ash..." Pikachu actually spoke human as he cover his mouth.

"I can talk Ash!" Pikachu exclaimed.

"It must be this place made you talk and I think this device I'm holding is connected to this new world." Ash replied looking at his device as he heard a new voice

"It's called a digivice Ash." Ash looks around and see nothing but he looks down and saw a small creature with purple fur, and white fur on the nose is staring at him

"You know my name what are you?" Ash asked the creature

"My name is Dorimon, I'm a digimon in training level Ash welcome to the digital world." Dorimon said as he introduced himself to Ash as a digimon digital monsters

"Digimon, Digital world..." Ash said then he smiles at Dorimon.

"It's great to meet you Dorimon and how did you know about this digivice?" Ash asked as Dorimon looks at him knowing he want answers

"The digivice is a preserver of the light, the last line of defense against the darkness that threatens existence and now it chose you as a digidestined and I'm your digimon." Dorimon said.

"Amazing...Dorimon my friends had digivices too can you help me find them." Ash asked him

"Of course i will come on!" Ash and Dorimon went to find the others.

Much later, an unconscious Tai hears a voice calling to him.

"Tai. Yoo-hoo, Tai." The voice said.

"Yeah, I'm okay..." Tai opens his eyes to see a head with large eyes, long ears and jagged teeth sitting on his chest. He blinks at the creature, then yells, throwing himself away from it.

"That is the last time I eat camp food!" Tai screamed.

"Hey, you don't need to be afraid of me. I'm your friend, I'm your friend, I'm your friend!" The creature said as it bounces up and down happily.

"Just what are you? Have you had your rabies shots?" Tai asked, still freaked out.

"Everything's gonna be alright now, Tai. I've been waiting for you." he said to him

"Waiting for me?" Tai repeated.

"My name's Koromon And we're partners!" Koromon said.

"Koromon? That means... talking head?" Tai said to him.

"It means brave little warrior. And don't forget it, Tai!" said Koromon

"So what did you mean you've been waiting for me? And how did you know my name?" Tai replied

"Tai?" Izzy called from behind a tree.

"Hmm? Izzy, that you?" Tai asked, turning around

"It's me. And I've got this little pink thing following me everywhere." Izzy said as another in training digimon appeared

"It is me, Motimon, at your service. Anybody want lunch?" Motimon asked.

"Hey Tai what do you see?" Koromon asks.

"Nothing I recognize. Huh, wait what's that?" Tai asks seeing a huge red beetle like creature.

"Look at that, it's some kind of giant red beetle and it's flying right at us!" Tai yells and leans backwards to avoid being hit by it and so does Koromon.

On the ground Izzy and Motimon are freaked out as well by what they see.

"I can't watch! That is one seriously bad Digimon even when he's in a good mood!" Motimon says covering his eyes.

"That's just great." Izzy says as the beetle turns back around to attack Tai and Koromon.

"Watch out! His name is Kuwagamon. He's an Insectoid Digimon. Vicious and ruthless, with teeth like knives and Scissor Arms that can chop through anything!" Koromon says.

"Who needs a Gardener?!" Tai jokes as Kuwagamon heads straight at them.

Koromon leaps off the branch toward the monster, blowing bubbles that annoy the much larger digimon just enough to make him miss Tai, merely knocking him to the ground. Izzy rushes up to Tai.

"Tai you okay?" Izzy asks.

"Well I have had better days. Little guy, you should pick on bugs your own size. What's your name, Koromon?" Tai asks forgetting what Koromon's name was while holding him in his hands.

"That's me." Koromon answers.

"You're pretty brave for a little guy. I'm impressed." Tai says.

"It was nothing." Koromon says flattered by what Tai said.

Meanwhile Izzy notices Kuwagamon coming back around.

"Tai, he's coming this way again!" Izzy shouts pointing towards the incoming insect.

"Oh dear, oh dear, quickly everyone, this way!" Motimon says and leads the way.

Kuwagamon was starting to fly lower at the tree level cutting everything in the way trying to catch the four of them.

"For having two long legs you boys are awfully slow. Inside this tree." Motimon tells them and jumps into the tree leaving them dazed.

"Let's go!" Tai says grabbing Izzy's arm and runs into the tree where Motimon vanished.

Outside the tree looked like any other tree but inside it looked all cybernetic.

"What kind of tree is this?" Izzy asks.

"It's a hiding tree silly." Motimon says to Izzy as they wait for Kuwagamon to pass by.

"Quiet now. Don't make a sound." Izzy said quietly hearing Kuwagamon roaring outside.

After a while everything became quiet.

"All clear. No need to hide anymore." A familiar voice outside the tree says.

The boys then stick their heads out of the tree to see Sora standing there.

"Sora!" Tai shouts seeing his friend.

"You can come out now." Sora says to them.

"Oh we were just planning the trap we were gonna set for that big bug. Huh?" Tai exclaims seeing another creature that looked like a radish with a bluish-purple flower on its head.

"I am enchanted to meet you, friends of Sora. Welcome." The creature said to them.

"Tai, Izzy, meet Yokomon. My own personal something or other." Sora says introducing Yokomon to them.

"Looks like a radish to me." Tai says.

"Must be another one of them, like the others whatever they are." Izzy said as they looked at Koromon and Motimon but then one more came in front of them causing them to gasp.

"They're popping up everywhere." Izzy says.

"Hello! I am Tokomon. Hey T.K. over here." Tokomon yells.

"Coming! Tokomon there you are!" T.K. shouts and runs up to him.

"T.K!" Matt yelled to his brother.

"Hey Matt, you too?" Tai asked.

"Yeah, I'm here too." Matt said to Tai.

"No, I meant that! Under your arm!" Tai corrected him, pointing at the Digimon.

"Oh, this guy? Yeah, well..." Matt began but then trailed off.

"Hello. You appear pleasant. Tsunomon is my name and I am quite pleased to meet you." Tsunomon introduced himself while still under Matt's arm as T.K. and Tokomon are clearly already quite fond of each other. They are laughing and hugging, when from the bushes around them, they can hear Joe screaming. Then he appears, running out of the forest, followed by a flying creature that vaguely resembled a seal, only with two flippers, and a bright orange lock of hair.

"Help! Ahhhh!" Joe screamed.

"Joe?" Tai asked.

"Help me! This thing, this thing... It won't leave me alone!" He said to them.

"Hey, who're you calling a thing? I'm no stuffed animal. The name is Bukamon." Joe screams some more as Bukamon, perched on his shoulder, laughs.

"Wha- What's wrong with you guys? Don't you see this creature hanging off me? And those creatures standing right there? They're- They're everywhere! What are they?" Joe asked.

"You need to relax Joe." Ryu commented as he emerged from the woods. By his side was a small creature with blue and white fur. The letter M was in the middle of it's forehead.

"This right here is Wanyamon." He introduced the in-training Digimon.

"We're Digimon. Digital monsters." The Digimon said.

"Digital monsters?" Tai asked.

"Yeah, Digimon." They repeated.

"Nice to meet everyone." Wanyamon began.

We're not just digital monsters. We're much more than that. We're... kinda cute." Koromon said to the kids.

"And very loyal." Tsunomon added.

"With beautiful hair." Yokomon said about her hair

"Or maybe no hair at all." Motimon continued

"We can be funny. Ha!" Bukamon told them.

"And adorable." Tokomon finished.

"It's a pleasure to meet each of you. My name's Tai, and these are my friends from camp. I'd like you to meet Sora." Tai started introducing his friends but stopped so they could say something.

"Nice place you got here. Except the bugs." Sora said.

"And the self-proclaimed cool one over there is Matt." Matt said

"No autographs, please." Matt added.

"And this is Joe." Tai said.

"I'd shake hands, if you had any." Joe replied to them.

"Izzy here's our computer expert." Tai introduced Izzy next.

"Do you have internet access?" Izzy asked.

"Ryu over there is the oldest member of our group." Tai explained.

"And last but not least, this little guy is..." Tai didn't finish the sentence.

"T.K. Call me T.K. And I'm not as small as I look." T.K assured them.

"There now. Is that everybody?" Tai finished.

"Hey, what happened to that girl with the funny pink hat?" Sora asked.

"Now, now. Her name is Mimi." Tai told them.

"Well, perhaps she's off picking flowers, or going on a nature hike." Izzy began as they hear her voice.

"Ahh! Somebody help me!" Mimi screams

"Come on!" Tai said.

"Okay, so she's not picking flowers." Izzy said to himself.

"Mimi, where are you?" Tai shouted as the group runs into a clearing in time to see Mimi run into it from the other side, screaming, and followed by a leafy-looking digimon with four short legs.

"There she is!" Sora said.

"Mimi, it's okay!" Tai assured her as he and the others stop short when they realize that Mimi isn't running from the small digimon with her, but from the giant red beetle that is coming out of the forest after her.

"It's that big bug again!" Tai said as the Kuwagamon dives low over them once, then flies off. Mimi is kneeling on the ground, and next to her is her Digimon.

"Mimi, are you alright?" The new Digimon asked.

"I think so." Mimi replied

"Don't worry, Tanemon's here to protect you." Tanemon introduced herself to everyone.

"It's okay now." Sora assures her.

"Oh, Sora!" Mimi replied to her friend, glad to see her.

"Watch it, here he comes!" Tai shouted.

"Run!" Sora said as the Kuwagamon flies behind the fleeing kids and digimon, tearing up treetops, and shrieking as he goes.

"Down!" Everyone hits the ground, and the flying beetle swoops, but misses them.

"Will this nightmare never end? My mom is gonna want a complete and total refund!" Joe said as they heard a voice

"Pikachu, iron tail!" Ash shouted as Pikachu leaps to the air.

"Eat this Bug!" Pikachu's tail glows metallic grey, and it hits the Kuwagamon with it.

"Ash!" Tai said.

"Hey Tai, Sora and all of you." Ash replied giving them a thumb up

"Ash how did you find us!?" Mimi demanded.

"I follow the screams and one screamed like a girl when me, Pikachu and Dorimon were finding you." Ash said looking at Joe

"I wasn't screaming like a girl." Joe said as they're going to ask him about Dorimon.

"Here he comes again!" Tanemon said to everyone seeing Kuwagamon

"Okay, that does it! No more running away!" Tai said angrily

"What else can we do?" Sora asked, helping him up.

"She's right. There's no way we can fight that thing!" Matt said.

"Not and win, anyway." Izzy added as the group continues running, until the path they are on leads to a cliff. They stop short.

"Great. Anybody bring a helicopter?" Matt asked as Tai goes to the edge and looks down.

"Be careful, Tai!" Sora told him.

"There's no way down. We're going to have to find another way." Tai told them.

"Another way where?" Sora asked.

"I don't think it's a good idea Tai" Ash said to him.

"He's right it's suicide to cross." Dorimon said. Suddenly, the Kuwagamon bursts from the bushes behind them, and soars out over the cliff, turning back for another swipe.

"Watch out, Tai!" Sora shouted.

"Here I go!" Koromon said as Tai runs from the monster, and Koromon leaps over him to face the attacking insect. He blows some bubbles at it, but Kuwagamon is barely bothered by them.

"Not again!" Tai yelled then Pikachu leaps to fight along with Dorimon.

"Eat Thunderbolt!" Pikachu releases a powerful bolt of yellow electricity from its body at Kuwagamon giving a effect.

"Metal Drop!" Dorimon spits an iron bead from his mouth while charging at Kuwagamon making it move back

"Digimon, attack!" Yokomon yelled as all of the kids' digimon leap into the air, blowing bubbles in the Kuwagamon's face. The flying creature is blinded, and crashes into a stand of forest trees.

"Yokomon!" Sora said.

"Pikachu, Dorimon!" Ash yelled.

"Koromon!" Tai shouted.

Pikachu, Dorimon and all of the digimon are lying on the rock of the cliff, eyes closed.

"Koromon, are you crazy? Why'd you do it?" Tai asked Koromon.

"Sorry, it's just... I'm trying to make a good impression." Koromon said.

"Crazy guy." Tai told him as all the kids run up to their injured digimon.

"Oh, Yokomon." Sora said sadly holding Yokomon.

"Tanemon, talk to me." Mimi said holding Tanemon

"They must be programmed for courage." Izzy said out loud holding Motimon.

"Tokomon, what's wrong?" T.K. asked.

"Hey, Tsunomon, wake up!" said Matt

"Bukamon, wake up. Huh? Oh no!" Joe replied.

From the forest, the kids hear the screech of the Kuwagamon again. It emerges from the trees, clashing its pincers.

'Get back!" Matt shouted.

"I was hoping we'd seen the last of him." Sora replied

"Me too! Guess he had other plans, huh?" Tai said to Sora.

"Ugh, I knew I shoulda brought my bug spray." Matt said.

"Okay, get ready to run!" Tai exclaimed as Ash stood up.

"No more running, we fight!" Ash replied as Tai looks at his best friend.

"Ash you're crazy fighting that thing this is not the Pokémon league." Tai said.

"Forget it!" Ryu snapped.

"No your friend is right. It's the only way. Stand and fight!" Koromon said.

"Give it up, will ya?" Tai said.

"No, Koromon's right. It's time that we showed what we're made of!" Motimon agreed with Koromon

"No, don't!" Izzy told Motimon.

"They're right!" Yokomon said.

No way! It's hopeless! You're no match for him, Yokomon." Sora told her.

"We can do it. Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go!" Tsunomon said to them.

"We can do it, we can do it!" Tokomon agreed.

"Let me go, let me go, let go!" Bukamon said.

"Tanemon, you too?" Mimi asked.

"Uh huh!" Tanemon said to Mimi then Pikachu and Dorimon stand up ready.

"You have courage, determination and strong will Ash I knew we are destined to be partners along with your pokemon." said Dorimon

"I'm sorry, Tai. Let's go!" said Koromon as All the digimon fly from the kids' arms and rush for the Kuwagamon.

"Come on, digimon!" Koromon said to the other Digimon.

"It's useless! Yokomon!" Sora screams.

"Don't go! Motimon!" Izzy yelled.

"No, wait! Don't do it, Tsunomon!" Matt yelled.

"Don't go!" T.K said.

"Turn around! Come back, Bukamon!" Joe shouted.

"Tanemon. Be careful!" Mimi said.

"No! Don't, Koromon, come back!" Tai said. As the digimon rush at the giant monster, the kids' digital gadgets glow. A spiral forms in the air, and beams of light come down to land on the digimon.

"Koromon, digvolve to... Agumon!" Koromon turned into a little orange dinosaur.

"Yokomon digivolve to... Biyomon!" Yokomon turned into some kind of pink bird.

"Motimon digivolve to... Tentomon!" Motimon became a big red ladybug with six legs.

"Tsunomon digivolve to... Gabumon!" Tsunomon changed into a yellow-skinned reptile-like creature with a ten in. horn.

"Tokomon digivolve to... Patamon!" Tokomon said looking like a guinea pig with bat-like wings for ears.

"Bukamon digivolve to... Gomamon!" Bukamon turned into a seal-like creature with purple markings.

"Tanemon digivolve to... Palmon!" Tanemon shouts changing into a plant-like creature with a purple flower on her head.

"Wanyamon digivolve to...Gaomon!" Wanyamon shouts changing into a blue dog with red boxing gloves and a bandana around his forehead.

Dorimon changes as well.

"Dorimon digivolve to... Dorumon!" Dorumon said. He looks like a beast-like Digimon with purple fur on most of its body. It has two large legs and two arms, each of which has three black claws, as well as a large, vulpine tail. The fur on its chest, paws, snout, and the end of its tail is white. It has two pointed ears with black stripes and two very small black wings. On its brow is a triangular red gem, indicated to be an old-style interface. Suddenly, in the place of the tiny friends the kids had met, were larger, more grown-up looking digimon.

"What in the- Look at them! What's happened to the little guys?" Sora asked.

"They're... bigger." Tai said as Ash looks at Dorumon.

"Digivolve? It's like a opposite version of pokemon evolution." Ash replied as Pikachu and the nine digimon leap at the Kuwagamon, but are easily thrown to the ground.

"Alright, then. You asked for it!" Agumon said.

"Poison Ivy!" Long vines spring from Palmon's hands, wrapping themselves around the insect digimon, making it unable to fly away.

"Boom Bubble!" Patamon said.

"Super Shocker!" Tentomon said as Patamon's blasting bubble, and Tentomon's shock of electricity make Kuwagamon step back. When he puts down his foot, Gomamon is underneath, causing the beetle digimon to fall to his knees.

"Gao Rush!" Gaomon yelled.

"Stand back, everyone! Pepper breath!" Agumon shouts.

"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon said.

Spiral Twister!" Biyomon said.

Agumon's fireball, Gabumon's blast of blue energy, and Biyomon's whirlwind hit Kuwagamon dead-on, enraging him.

"Now, all together!" The combined force of the nine smaller digimons' attacks are enough to defeat Kuwagamon

"Our turn Thunderbolt, Metal Cannon!" as Pikachu used Thunderbolt and Dorumon stands still and accumulates power, then fires a more powerful iron sphere from its mouth at Kuwagamon who falls backward into the forest. The kids look on, amazed.

"They made vapor-ware out of him." Izzy said.

"Amazing!" Tai said.

"Told you we could do it!" Agumon said laughing.

The digimon run, smiling, back to the kids, who laugh with joy.

"Koromon, or Agumon, or whoever you are! You did it, you did it, you did it!" Tai said happily hugging Agumon.

"How about that Super Shocker? Pretty wizard, huh?" said Tentomon

Dorumon...you're amazing out there you and Pikachu are a great team!" Ash said amazed by his newfound friend as Dorumon smiles.

"Thanks Ash we do make a great team." Dorumon said but from within the forest, the Kuwagamon screams.

"Watch out!" Sora screamed.

"Huh?" Tai and Agumon run back to the others as Kuwagamon buries his pincers in the ground where they had been standing.

"Guess we celebrated too soon!" Pikachu said as the ground cracks where Kuwagamon's pincers are embedded in the rock, and the edge of the cliff, with the kids and their Digimon on it, breaks off and begins to fall. The group tumbles down toward the valley below.
