Chapter 5 - A new arrival

I woke up and found Jilly staring back at me with a really concerned look on her face, she apparently thought she had lost me, or at least that's what I assumed. I sat up slowly, flinching in pain a little bit from the Pokemon attacks.
"Oh, you're alright Nathe," Jilly said hugging me tightly.
"Impressive, you took those attacks head on," the Magma Executive said.
I stood up slowly, Jilly letting go of me as I got up. I pulled out my Digivice and pointed it in the direction of the other members of Team Magma, and Team Rocket. I pressed the button that is normally pressed to put Infinimon into the Digivice, and a bright light lit up the room, and amidst the light Infinimon appeared.
"What kind of Pokemon...is that?" the Magma Executive asked, in surprise.
I could somehow sense slight fear coming from everyone in the room, and it seemed to fuel me even more. I grew confident when people feared me, and I knew that my dark side was starting to rise, but I didn't fight it this time.
"Ah, so you think this is just some measily Pokemon eh?" I asked, talking differently now that my evil side had arised. "This is no Pokemon, you moron, this is a Digimon. They are so very different from Pokemon, for one, they can talk. Go ahead and say something Infinimon."
"Hello," Infinimon said with a grin.
"See? Like I said, Digimon can talk, and I do mean all Digimon. Only few Pokemon can talk the human language, and most of them are cute a cuddly, but not Digimon, oh no, not at all. Digimon are much more fierce, they will even fight each other until one of them dies, and then absorb them. I find it much more entertaining that way," I said as a very evil smile crossed my face.
"You're crazy," the male Magma Grunt said.
"Perhaps I am, but then again, who isn't crazy in some way or another?" I asked. "If people weren't crazy, or weird in some way, they just wouldn't be normal, now would they? So what's wrong with being crazy? You are, you want to expand the land mass, killing many water Pokemon in the process."
"We are trying to help all human kind, with the whole population issue," the Magma Executive said.
"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into, it's so obvious," I said, looking to Infinimon. "What should we do with them Infinimon? Charbroil them?"
"That's up to you master," Infinimon said, baring her sharp teeth.
"Ah, go ahead," I said, winking to Infinimon.
"Infini-fire!" Infinimon said, shooting her attack in the direction of the Magma Executive, but purposely missing his head and hitting the wall, forming a large hole in the wall where the attack had hit.
"Holy shit!" the male Magma Grunt said.
The rest of Team Magma, and Team Rocket starred at me with fear in their eyes.
"Boo!" I said.
With that, Team Magma and Team Rocket ran out of there quickly, leaving me, Jilly, and Infinimon there. I wrapped my arm around Jilly and looked into her eyes. The I had Infinimon return to her Digivice, so that me and Jilly could be alone. I hugged Jilly tightly yet gently.
"By the way, how old are you?" I asked, back to my normal self, and talking in the politest way I could.
"Oh, well, I'm 26," Jilly said. "Why do you ask? How old are you?"
"Oh, I was just wondering, I'm 19 myself, is that to young for you? I mean, you're only 7 years older than me, but I believe in love at first sight," I said.
"No, I'm alright with it, I'm not to old for you?" Jilly asked.
"Oh no, society is to stuck up in my opinion. On average older guys date younger girls, but statistically, guys die before girls, so dating an older woman just evens it out. That way both would die around the same time, given they are both in perfect health that is," I said, sounding to philosophical for my own liking. "Oops, man, I probably make you feel stupid with all this stuff I'm saying, I'm so sorry."
"Don't apologize, it's good that you're smart, I like that," Jilly said, leaning in and kissing me on the lips.
I pulled away from her for a moment to say something.
"I love you, and I don't ever want to loose you," I said.
"I love you too, and I feel the same way about you," Jilly said, kissing me again.
"We should be getting out of here, don't you think?" I asked.
"Yes, I guess so," Jilly said.
I walked out with her beside me, and when we walked out of the Pokemon Center we were confronted by some police officers.
"What were you doing in there? How did you escape?" one officer asked.
"Damn, this isn't good," I said, looking to Jilly.
"Put you hands up in the air, you are under arrest," another officer said.
"I can't let it end this way," I said
I noticed my Digivice was glowing and pulled it out to check what was going on. One I glanced at the screen a bright flash of light blinded me and I couldn't see anything. When the light finally subsided I found myself in a strange building with Jilly standing beside me.
"What just happened?" Jilly asked me.
"I wish I knew," I said. "Let's look around, and don't worry, I'll always protect you."
Jilly wrapped her arms around my left arm as we walked and looked around. I was looking for any door, that would lead us out of this strange building. I found a long corridor, which was the only passage from the room we appeared in. I lead the way down the corridor, Jilly still attached to my left arm, but I didn't mind it at all. I continued down the corridor which began to get darker. I then rummaged through my pack given to me by Ruby and found a flashlight, and used the to shine light on the path ahead of us. The corridor then stopped and became more like a cave. The walls, ceiling, and floor, were all rough rock, unlike the smooth polished walls farther in the building. As we walked through the cave like passage, I found light shining at the opposiste end. I wondered why this building had been made this way, but then figured the building was just attached to a cave or something. After a while we reached the other end, and were outside, I looked backward and noticed that the building had been made inside a mountain side. I never saw that before, but I figured the building was old, and no one had been there in a very long time.
"Where are we?" Jilly asked, letting go of my arm.
"Good question, and I think we can get some answers at that village down there," I pointed down the mountain side to a village at the bottom.
Lucky for us we weren't to far from ground level, only about 50 feet or so, which didn't take us long to get down the mountain.
"Humans? Here? Where did you two come from?" a coarse voice from my right said.
I turned to face the right and saw what I recognized as Gallantmon standing there. He was very tall, and it hurt my neck to look up at him.
"Gallantmon," I said, without noticing it.
Then I remembered something from the Digimon series season 3. Takato and Guilmon had biomerged to form Gallantmon, and I began to wonder if my friend Takato and his Guilmon was part of this Gallantmon.
"Is Takato part of you?" I asked, slightly embarrased at the way I phrased it.
"I don't know any Takato, sorry," the Gallantmon said.
"Oh, that's alright," I said.
"Who's Takato, Nathe?" Jilly asked me.
"He's a friend, from where I came from," I said, then looking to Gallantmon. "Could you tell me where we are?"
"This is Gamma Village," Gallantmon said. "There is another human here, she came not to long ago either, with a Digimon."
"Another Digimon tamer! Where is she?" I asked.
"Wait...don't you like me Nathe?" Jilly asked.
"Yes, of course I do, my love, I'm just surprised to hear that there is another Digimon tamer around," I said.
"You are a Digimon tamer?" Gallantmon asked me.
"Yes, would you like to see?" I asked, pulling out my Digivice.
Once Gallantmon saw my Digivice his eyes became really wide with surprise.
"No way, that Digivice, is that yours?" Gallantmon asked.
"Uh...yes," I said, wondering why he was asking such a question. "Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing, follow me, I shall show you to the other human," Gallantmon said, taking his eyes away from my Digivice.
I clipped my Digivice back on my belt and followed the Gallantmon into a tent, Jilly following me closely behind. In the tent I found myself starring at a girl who appeared about the same age as me, 5' 3", with light brown hair going down a little past her shoulder. The girl turned to face us, as we entered. I looked beside her and saw a Digimon sitting beside her, who appeared to be male fox Digimon, like Renamon as far as the fox Digimon part. I then remembered that my Digimon, Infinimon was in some ways similar to Guilmon, and he was the first Digimon I met, who's tamer was Takato, yet my Digimon is female. This girl's Digimon was like Renamon in some ways, except that it was male.
"Hello," I said first, being polite. "My name is Nathan."
"Another person here, thank god," the girl said standing up and nearly running in our direction, but stopped a few feet away from us. "I thought I was the only human here."
She reached her hand out to shake, and Jilly took her offer and shook her hand, then the girl reached her hand out to me to shake, and I grabbed it to shake. Once I shook her hand images flashed before my eyes.

"Where are you taking me Rika?" a feminine voice, feeling as if it came from my own mouth said.
I saw Rika standing before my eyes, staring back at me. I wondered what was going on, and looked to my side.
"What are you looking at Nicole?" Rika asked.
"Huh?" I asked turning to her.
I wondered who she was calling Nicole. Then I noticed that my voice was feminine. I looked down at myself and found breasts there. I began freaking out, I was a girl.
"Come on Nicole, I have something to show you," Rika said.
I followed her, without a word, wondering why I was female at the moment. I followed Rika, beside a building with large glass windows, which happened to show my reflection. I looked to the windows for a moment to look at myself, and to my surprise I looked exactly like the girl I met in the tent not to long ago.
"So her name is Nicole," I whispered to myself.
I noticed I was falling behind a little bit and jogged after her to catch up. We soon arrived at her house, and I amazed at how big it was.
"You can come out now," Rika called out into the air.
I looked around, wondering who she was talking to. Then from the air a creature appeared between me and Rika. I stepped back in slight surprise, but then noticed that this was a Digimon, the same Digimon that I recognized as Renamon.
"No way," I said. "I thought Digimon weren't real."
"Digimon are very real, Nicole," Rika said.
I felt slightly uncomfortable being called that, but assuming I was now in the body of this girl I had just met, I let it slide. I then pulled out a small drawing pad and showed it to Rika, on it was a fox-like Digimon, that I apparently drew. I was amazed to find that this girl I was in the body of, drew her own Digimon too.
"Hmm, interesting," Rika said, handing me the drawing back.
She then pulled something out of her pocket and tossed it up in the air in my direction. I caught it and examined it, finding out that it was a Digivice and a silver card.
"Wow, a Digivice and a silver card," I said.
The Digivice was navy blue in color with silver rimming.
I slid the card through the Digivice, holding the drawing in the other hand, but nothing happened. I then shrugged and put the Digivice into my pocket. I looked at Renamon for a little bit, in slight disbelief that she really existed.
"Why are you staring at me?" Renamon asked.
"Oh, sorry," I said, and stopped staring. "So is Renamon what you wanted to show me, Rika?"
"Yes, along with that Digivice I just gave you," Rika said. "That Digivice is all yours."
I pulled the Digivice back out, and then accidently dropped it. I picked it up, and examined it, hoping it didn't break when I dropped it. Then suddenly the screen glowed and blinded me. When my vision returned to normal I found myself staring directly into another pair of eyes. I jumped backward in surprise, and noticed that the thing I was staring directly into the eyes of was a Digimon, the very Digimon I had drawn too.
"Hello, I am Inumon," the Digimon said.

Then the images disappeared and I found myself looking at the girl again, and I was back in the tent.
"Is something wrong Nathe?" Jilly asked.
"No, I just...had a vision," I said.
"Of what?" Jilly asked.
"Of how this girl came here," I said, then looking to the girl. "Your name is Nicole, and you drew that Digimon there, named Inumon, correct?"
"Yes, how did you know?" the girl asked.
"I just saw it all, with my own two eyes, as if I was you at that time," I said, hoping that I wasn't scaring the girl with my words.
"Weird, so you were me?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah, it felt weird," I said.
"I bet, since you are a guy afterall," Jilly said.
"You aren't mad?" I asked Jilly.
"No, it was just a vision afterall, it's not like you were really here," Jilly said.
"So you are just like I thought," Gallantmon said, looking at me.
"Huh?" I asked.
"You've been chosen," Gallantmon said.
"Chosen for what?" I asked.
"To - " Gallantmon started, but was interupted by an explosion coming from outside.
I rushed outside and saw the ensuing chaos.
