BGM: Digimon Adventure: 2020 OST #12 - Teki Digimon Shizuka na Kyoufu

Arriving at the area, a large portion of the city was covered in fog so thick that it was impossible to see through it. The info about the mission suggests that something in there would cause a lot of noise, yet you wouldn't hear anything from outside. In fact, it was too quiet for an area that was mostly alive with people. And this part of town was mostly for Pokemon and their essentials, like shops, Pokemon grooming salons, and even Pokemon Centers. Not to mention, so many computer electronics that even those outside the fog were acting funky. The flat screens suffered static, lights kept flickering wildly, and cars' alarms set off for no reason.

Going in this fog recklessly and alone would be dangerous, at least not without finding the person who knows about this...'Digital Field', first. So you need to meet up with Tai and Agumon, first.

(Note: None of you won't have a D-Sphere at the moment, and Pokemon still can't talk until they go in the fog.)

[Taichi Kamiya]

This was rather depressing for Tai. It seems he's the only DigiDestined in this weird yet sad world, and he's dealing alone with all the Digimon appearing in these fogs...well at least until Mimi showed up. The DigiDestined were supposed to be a team, yet neither of them is around. It felt like that Diaboromon incident where he could only get nearly half his team to deal with the threat with him, but this was worse.

And now, he has to rely on these...Digimon-wannabes the world is more into than Digimon. Considering that some of these...trainers were rude to him, saying that Digimon is Pokemon ripoffs, Tai was hesitant to ask for any of their help. But this Digital Field was bigger than the other fogs, meaning there could be numerous Digimon, or a big one. He couldn't take it on alone anymore, even with Mimi. He had to swallow his pride and call these trainers for help.

His faithful partner, Agumon, felt Tai's loneliness, as he felt the same. "We'll get back home to our friends, Tai, or maybe the rest of them will show up."

"...with how this place is like, maybe it's best they don't show up." Looking around, impatiently tapping his foot, "Speaking of showing up, where are those guys that signed up?"

[Pokemon Liberator Julia]

"Right behind you." a girl's voice replied. The cat pokemon who 'trained' pokemon like a human was the first to arrive. And with the way she walked everywhere on her tippy toes, could you really blame yourself for not hearing her approach? She had her arms folded. "If you had the opportunity to turn back and leave everyone here behind to deal with their mess, are you sure you'd take it, 'Hero'?" she asked.

She then released her arms and took a big stretch. "...I'm not as fast as I used to be. Ever since I got stung by a venemous jellyfish it feels like I'm melting and gasping for air like a fish out of water if I push myself. But my 'friends' are in their prime, and I brought good, fast-acting medicine, so hopefully I won't slow you down." she said after a moment. "...Do your monsters always walk by your side, or do you have a place you keep them similar to a pokeball? Mine decided they didn't want to walk." she curiously asked before explaining.

(To briefly remind, Juilia is a talking pokemon naturally. The pokemon in her pokeballs however, are not.)

Further behind them, two more trainers approached, staring at the fog with distrust and concern. The electronics around them acting wild only furthered their discomfort. "Man, I didn't think fog could do anything like this."

"Pikaaaa...." He can feel it on his fur. That fog emitted something bad...and yet something else he couldn't explain to himself.

"If you read the mission, Ash, you'd know that this isn't any ordinary fog. It's some sort of...uh...electronic one?"

"I read about the...internet Pokemon? Sounds like Porygon."

"Yeah, it really does. Well, let's just find the guy who sent the mission before we-oh, there he is." Running over to Tai and some...strange Pokemon who was just...talking. At first, Misty thought she was like Meowth, but when she saw the belt of Pokeballs...yeah, no way a Pokemon could be a trainer. How weird is that? "Oh, hello. I love your costume!"

"Yeah, can't wait to see what Pokemon you have," Ash smiled at Julia. Glancing at Tai, yeah he met him before. He kinda was kind of bitter the few times he met him. He probably met some rude trainers who gave him a bad impression of all trainers. "Uh...hey?"

Dryly rolling his eyes at Ash, he glanced at Agumon. "<A little warning, but this girl is an actual Pokemon.>"

“Sweet Helix! Is that a fog or a Gigantamaxed Altaria?” One of those aforementioned Pokémon trainers gasped as he emerged from a tunnel and first caught sight of it.
“Nin. Ninjask.” <Negative, Master. That is an example of the fog epidemic from which we were summoned to retrieve victims trapped within.> The Ninjask resting on his head buzzed, looking up from his PokéNav Plus she was playing, to join him in widened eye. “Ni. Ask.” <An additional negative, as while #334 Altaria do Dynamax, according to data currently known, #334 Altaria do not Gigantamax.>
“Bet you’d need like Eight guys in a Max Raid Party to catch it.” The trainer calculated out loud as he slowly approached it, leaning behind street signs and benches as he got closer, much to his Ninjask’s eyeroll. “Speaking of which , the rendezvous point for the other volunteers has gotta be around here somewhere, right?” He asked, checking his map… Which on Li, he could barely read at the best of times.
Normally he’d send his Ninjask to scope out the area from above and lead him to them, but he wasn’t taking his chances in this weather. That and she was too wrapped up in setting a new high score in Tile Puzzle tm. The in-game tiles began to shuffle on their own and soon the entire screen started to glitch out, her game sunk into a sea of static.
“Ni? NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!” <What? No!> The Ninjask cried in despair at the sudden loss of her game, before immediately stopping upon noticing the reverberating echo it created.
“Ach! Warn a brother first, girl! What’s the matter?” Her trainer groaned, rubbing his ear cavities with his fingers before she put a foreleg to his lip to shush him. “Mhm-hm?” He asked, muffled before noticing the echo. The realization of how quite this city was chilled them both. “We gotta find the others Fast.” He whispered to her, receiving a nod in agreement.

Tracing the outside of the fog, both trainer and pocket monster too scared to step foot within its limits eventually lead them to finding the first of their team mates.
“Ninja” <Attention, Master. It appears we have located our mission partners.> The Ninjask buzzed, pointing her Trainer, who was distracted by his hair standing on end, to the congregating party of Pokémon, trainers and a DigiDestined.
“Hey! Look! People! And Pokémon! Finally!” His right footed creep upgraded to a jog as he rushed in to greet the party. “H-hey! Hi there. Please tell me you’re the guys from the Invasion Prevention mission. We haven’t seen a single other soul since we arrived here and it’s spookier than Lavender Town around here!” He whined as if he were the one in need of rescue. A tap from his Ninjask reminded him of his manners.
“-Oh! Uh, excuse me. My name’s Purple. Purple duFine.” Purple properly introduced himself. “And this is Nintenda.” He introduced the Ninjask riding on his head to waved hello. “Ask.” <Greetings, Male Humans, Female Human, #25 Pikachu, #908 Meowscarada and Unidentified Digimon.>

[Alien-Child]

"TAI! TAI!!!"


And at least there was one face Tai is familiar with, namely from their own world, as his fellow digidestined came rushing up,


along with her plant-based digimon. "Sorry, got a little lost looking for the little mons-room."


As Mimi slowed down as she reached the group, she eyed the other humans, namely at the creatures that stood at their side. Like digimon, they seemed like 'cartoonish version of animals', but... not as edgy, if she were to compare. "Oh uh, you guys these 'Pokey-trainers', right? My name is Mimi, and this is my digimon, Palmon."


"Hello!"
