Pickle sat and listened, face impassive as they absorbed the information being thrown their way by their new friends. They ate during lulls in the conversation, alternating between udon and ice cream as they did their part in demolishing the food presented on the table. They had quite the appetite for someone of their size, however they couldn't compete with Ravenna, and Pickle found themself quite impressed with the way she could pack away so much. It was an ability they wished they could have as well, the sheer amount of delicious food out there that needed to be tried called to them, but they simply didn't have the ability to eat it all.
"So as far as you both know, they only show up to people in Shibuya, and they seem to be found mostly by people between the ages of 10 and 30. But since you haven't met everyone with them you can't say for sure if that holds true for everyone. Aside from that there's no correlation at all as far as you can tell." They took one last mouthful of noodles and then drank down the last of the broth before leaning back in their seat with a small sigh, head dangling back as they stared up at the ceiling. "That was really good, thanks Des."
"So I'm gonna assume when you say Digital World you mean there's a whole other world out there that Digimon come from, which is absolutely bonkers in the best way. And we can go there, and it's full of people that looks like all sorts of stuff." Her voice was soft as she talked her way through making sense of their words before sitting upright again, her smile once again on her face and her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "I absolutely want to go there, I wanna see what Demi really looks like and to see what Ravenna can turn into and I wanna know what I can do too!" She thrust a fist into the air, pumped right back up. "I have nowhere to be tonight aside from getting to bed at a decent hour, but there's still tons of time before I normally do that anyway, so I'm ready to go if you are!"
"Oh but before that!" They look at Ravenna, voice dropping in volume. "You okay? You seem a bit upset by something. You don't have to share but sometimes it helps."

Desmond is a pretty slow eater compared to Demi. The Digimon was still shoveling ice cream into his mouth and then stopped upon seeing his tamer looking at him. "Save some for the others, Demi." The Frenchman said prompting the child to nod and look at Pickle. "Do you want some ice cream?" He asked with a big smile on his face. After asking that question, he turned his attention to the other girl. "Do you want some ice cream too?" And then he looked at his tamer who was now smiling. "That is nice of you, Demi." Desmond was happy that his partner was slowly learning to be more polite. However, Demi would most likely forget than within a day or two. But still, small victories are still victories. The duo listened to Ravenna and then Pickle who was trying to gather all the information they were giving her. So far, she was going a good job. "You are welcome," Desmond said with a smile when Pickle thanked him for the meal.
"Yes, the Digital world is very real. It a strange now but also a beautiful one. I have no seen all of it, but the ecosystem there is very interesting." Taking a pause to eat a another piece of sushi, the blond tamer nodded as Pickle told them that she would love to go there. Desmond looked at his cellphone to see what time it was. If they go now, they might have some time to at least show here what it looks like. Time in the Digital World was seven-time slower. So they could show her maybe twenty minuted and it would take only three minutes from the Real World. But he wasn't sure if it was wise to do so. They could go to a safe place but he had doubted that Pickle would want to see everything.
The blond tamer would look at Ravenna for a few seconds not saying anything. "I mean... We could go there..." He was hoping that she could read his mind. "Just for a bit to show her around?" He really wanted a second opinion. "We don't have to show her everything but maybe the Village of Beginning? Or the Terminus..." Showing Pickle the Terminus would teach her how to get into the Digital World whenever she would want to. He didn't want to say that out loud though. Maybe it would be best for the younger girl to not know how to get there on her own. Desmond had Demi with him but Pickle was alone and she did not know how to use her Digivice.
Unless Ravenna wanted to show her how it works. They didn't have to make a decision now but Pickle was so enthusiastic. "How much time do you have before you are going home?" The girl in black already said that she had time to spare so that was good. As for himself, he closed his shop for the rest of the day. "How about you, Demi?" The Frenchman then asked his partner. Demi was putting a scoop of ice cream into his mouth before answering. "What about me?" He was so focused on eating that he did not follow the discussion at all. "Do you want to go to the Digital World today?" The Digimon in disguise would take a moment to think before nodding. "Can Pickle and Ravenna come with us?" He became very excited at the idea of seeing what kind of Digimon form the two girls could become.
"I can open a portal there, to somewhere safe to begin it." Desmond shifted his attention to Pickle. "Just a quick look, okay?" He said that but he knew that a quick look wasn't going to happen, it will most likely be more than just five minutes. "I can take her there, if you prefer not coming, Ravenna." He was pretty sure that she would want to come but asking was polite.

Pickle seems to understand what they are talking about. The younger girl didn't have nearly the appetite Ravenna did. Desmond reminds Demi to be polite, and save some ice cream for the others. The child asks the girls if they want some too.
"I would be delighted, thank you, Demi." Raye answers before she took her first bite. It wasn't always easy for Tamers to teach their partners manners. Some Digimon get it eventually, and some may never learn. (Dante's partner Wormmon.)
The conversations shifts to being about the Digital World. Desmond asks Ravenna if they should show Pickle around for a bit. Ravenna said she had free time, and Desmond had closed his shop for the day. Ravenna gets lost in thought before answering Desmond, trying to interpret what he was trying to say without saying it. She places her finger on her bottom lip while pondering silently. It isn't long before her focus returns.
"Oh, yes, of course we can go. I want to go. Sorry, I ate so fast that I felt light-headed."
There wasn't a doubt about it. Ravenna wants them to help Pickle, sort of like a Digital World chaperone. She just didn't want to seem too eager to go. Pickle is enthusiastic about going, and looking forward to seeing Demi and Ravenna in their Digimon forms. Desmond explains that he can open a portal they can use. Before they go, Pickle asks Ravenna if she is okay, saying she seems upset about something.
"Um, well, I'm just a bit worried. It wasn't easy when I started, and I'm concerned for you. Let's just take it slow. We'll be with you, there shouldn't be any danger this time. Sort of like a test drive, if you will."
Ravenna finishes the last piece of sushi, and wipes off her hands. All she had to do was throw away the garbage and bus the tray. "That was so delicious! It's fun eating out with friends, thank you. I just got to clean this us and I'm ready to go. We'll explain the traditional way to get there later."
Ravenna is looking forward to showing Pickle around, but she's also looking forward to a chance to spirit evolve. In the Digital World, she'll have a chance to stretch her wings and fly. She's also looking forward to seeing Demi in Digital form. Ravenna looks down at Demi and smiles. "Maybe we can have a little practice battle, for a demonstration. I'll play nice."

While Desmond and Ravenna decide whether or not to take Pickle to the Digital World for their first foray into this strange new world they were now connected to, Pickle was occupying themself with assisting Demi in furthering the destruction of the terrible ice cream foe before them. They grip their spoon and nudge Demi with a big silly grin. "We stalwart warriors shall finish off this frozen dairy foe before us. Onwards, sir Demi!" This did not detract from the attention they paid to what the other two were saying about the Digital World, of course. They just enjoyed being silly and kids tended to be more willing to play along than teenagers or adults.
"Honestly? So long as I'm back by like, midnight I'm good. Mom and Dad aren't around right now so there's no worries about upsetting them or waking them up and it doesn't take long for me to fall asleep. I have hours to burn pretty much." She smiles at Ravenna's absentminded answer and expression of concern. "You guys keep saying that it's dangerous there, so I'm going to take that warning to heart definitely. But I'd rather go now when I'm with some people who already have a good idea of what it's like so I can be more prepared and all. An ounce of prevention and all that. I'm not going to lie though I'm mostly just really excited."
"Food's always better with friends, isn't it? I've noticed that too, I've always wondered why though. Any theories?" At the mention of battles however, Pickle's smile shrunk just a touch as they got up to help Ravenna with clearing the table and tidying up. "So is the impression I'm getting that fighting is a big part of this whole thing right? I'm okay with fighting, sometimes you gotta do that to help people, I just want to make sure."
And then a thought seems to hit them all at once. "Ravenna! Can you teach me how to do the thing? Can you and Demi and Desmond teach me how to fight? Please? Ohhh let's go I can't wait!" The enthusiasm was back in full force, Pickle nearly vibrating on the spot as they waited to go.

Demi happily lifted his spoon into the air upon seeing Pickle grip her spoon. "Whee! Let's defeat it!" And with that, he went to take the big spoonful that he could and open his mouth as wide he could and shove the delicious ice cream into it. Good thing that he didn't have to worry about brain freeze being a fireball. To be honest, he was really enjoying the girl and her enthusiasm. He would look at her and smile with ice cream all over his mouth. Desmond rolled his eyes and sighed. He took a napkin and stretched forward to wipe the melting dessert around his partner's mouth. "Don't eat it too fast, Demi." The Digimon nodded rapidly and looked at Pickle to see if she too had ice cream all over her face.
So both of them had plenty of time so that meant that they would indeed go to the Digital world after all. "Let's finish our meal first," Desmond said before taking another piece of sushi with some wasabi on it. "The Digital World is not dangerous all the time. It can be quite pretty actually. The sun dawn and the stars are wonderful to look at." To be honest, the blond tamer spent many nights there just to stargaze. Demi would be sleeping next to him most of the time after seeing the sun go down. "We might not be able to see it but trust me, one day, you will enjoy the night sky too. I'm sure of it."
After finishing their meals, Desmond would invite the three others to come with him outside the mall. He would try to find a place that had no one so that he could open the portal to the Digiworld without anyone seeing them. After making sure that they were indeed alone, the Frenchman pressed a combination of buttons on his Digivice and a yellow gate began to materialize. It started very small but expanded very quickly and within a second, it was big enough for them to go in all together. "You gals go first." The tamer would say before entering with Demi soon after. The portal closed behind him and they were now inside to the Village of Beginnings. It was pretty much the safest place to be in his opinion. And Pickle could interact with the babies Digimon.
"Here we are," Desmond said before looking at Demi with a smile. The Digimon smiled back and closed his eyes. His human disguise faded away in a flash of yellow light and a DemiMeramon was now floating a few inches above the grass. "Pickle! Look!" He shouted joyfully. "It's me, Demi!" The living fireball would wait to see her reaction before making his way closer with his arms wide open. "Hug!" Demi wasn't very tall in this form but Pickle wasn't very tall neither so it was perfect. "Go on, don't be shy." The Frenchman would point at the various baby Digimon who seemed to be happy to see new humans around. "You can hold them, they don't bite."
Desmond would let Pickle look around before turning his attention to Ravenna. "We should give her some time before trying to make her use her Digivice." He suggested "Demi isn't much of a fighter in this form but he can grow very big and pretty well-armored. I'm pretty sure that Pickle wouldn't be able to hurt him too much." He paused for a second and went to scratch his chin. "We should go to a quieter place if we want to give her some tips on fighting Digimon though." He didn't want to disturb the peacefulness of the Village. He knew that there was a place not too far away that they could train for a bit. He didn't want to fight inside the forest to not burn anything if Demi would accidentally set everything on fire.

Ravenna was too full at this point to join the stalwart warriors in finishing off the ice cream. She leans back in her chair and takes a breath before exhaling slowly. "Devour the rest, I'm good. Too much dairy." They all had a few hours they could spend in the Digital World. Pickle heeded Ravenna's warning of danger.
"Good, I'm glad you are taking it seriously. As for why food tastes better with friends, I guess environment. Ramen in a dark, dirty dorm room isn't going to taste that good. Maybe it's the smell of lots of different food." Pickle asks Ravenna to teach her how to do the thing. "Spirit evolve? I'd love to!"
Desmond remarks how the Digital World can be quite pretty. "That's true. There's lots of different and interesting geography. Forests, deserts, seas, and mountains. Lots and lots of mountains."
After they finished their meals, Ravenna follows Desmond over to a secluded area where he creates a portal. Ravenna does a quick curtsy before leaping in. They appear in the Digital World at the Village of Beginnings.
"Ahh, this takes me back." Demi appears as DemiMeramon. Ravenna makes goo goo eyes at the floating fireball. "Aww, who's a cute little fireball? Look at those eyes."
Desmond recommends waiting a bit before Pickle tries her D-tector. He doesn't want Demi burning down the area. "Alright. This is a good time to transform."
With plenty of space around her, Ravenna stands with her legs at shoulder width and takes out her D-tector. A light violet aura emits from the device as waves of energy begin manifesting around Ravenna. She raises her right arm with device in hand, then brings her hand towards her chest. In a serious and dramatic tone, she says the magic words. "Spirit, evolution!" Black and white energy spirals up from her feet and encloses her like a cylinder. One by one, two large black bird wings poke out of the wave of energy.
The energy rises up like a small tornado and disperses into the sky, revealing Ravenna's Spirit form Suzamon. Her hair has turned dark purple, she is wearing black and violet lightweight armor, black gauntlets, knee high black and violet boots, with a liberal amount of chains and feathers. Below her waist, several feathers wrap around her hips that resemble a skirt.
Suzamon stretches out her wings and lowers her arms to her sides. She leaps up and takes flight, soaring around before divebombing down. She then retracts her wings, covering herself with them like a cloak before sinking straight into the ground, leaving only a cloud of purple smoke slowly rising from the ground. Suzamon shoots back up to the surface standing behind the group.
"Over here." Suzamon raises her left arm out and caws. A crow swoops down and perches on her forearm. Ravenna brings her arm to her chest and pets the crow gently.
"So, what do you think? I am the Psychic Spirit Suzamon. In this form, I have all sorts of magical powers. In addition to flight, I have the power of intangibility. It comes in handy when fighting undead samurais, or giant fire rats. BWAHRK!"

Pickle said nothing else as the others talked a bit more about the Digital World, their mind already too full of anticipation to articulate as they assisted in cleanup before following Desmond out of the mall and off to a secluded area. If Pickle were any less sure that everything about this was a good idea they might have gotten a bit leery at this point, after all being led somewhere out of the way by people they'd only just met a short while ago normally would be a terrible idea. But they were confident that these new friends were trustworthy people, so the thought didn't even cross their mind to be cautious as Desmond opened a bright portal and the entire group went through.
What lay on the other side was like nothing she had ever seen, the Village of Beginnings was bright and whimsical in design, like something out of a picture book. She stared around in utter awe for a moment before her attention was immediately caught by Demi's sudden transformation. "Ohhhh my god you look so cool!" Pickle hugged Demi tight, entirely heedless of any possibility of being burned by the living ball of flame, far too excited for anything other than delight at this point.
Before Desmond even finished telling Pickle that they could interact with the baby Digimon that were now crowding around them all, they were on the ground, laying flat on their back as they lifted each little Digimon within their reach up above their face so they could coo over how utterly adorable they all were as more of the little ones proceeded to hop up onto them. Soon Pickle was practically buried in baby Digimon, and if their constant giggling and cooing was any indication, they were absolutely fine with this fact. "This is amazing! You're all so cute ohh look at all of you!"
They continued like that for a while as Desmond and Ravenna talked, only half listening as they were utterly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of cuteness they were now faced with. Ravenna's words about transformation however broke through to them, and with a Botamon in their arms they watched Ravenna Spirit Evolve with wide, awestruck eyes. As the newly transformed Ravenna introduced her new form, Pickle carefully ushered the remaining baby Digimon off of their lap and stood after placing the Botamon back down.
She silently walked over to Desmond, giving him a quick, tight hug before doing the same to Demi, and then Ravenna as well. Only once she'd done so did Pickle look up at the three of them, gleeful beyond compare. "Please show me. I want to Spirit Evolve, I want to learn to fight, I want to be part of this incredible world."

Demi was rubbing his face on Pickle as she hugged him back. "Desmond! Desmond!" He shouted without letting go of her. "You should come too! She smells good!" The blond tamer facepalmed and then sighed. "I'm glad that Pickle smells good, Demi." He wanted to tell his partner that smelling people is kind of rude but he was going to let this one pass. Instead, he just watched at the many baby Digimon coming to Pickle and drowning her in their cuteness. Demi would also join in while laughing. Good thing that Demi doesn't weight much at all. Desmond then moved a bit away from Ravenna as she took out her Digivice and got ready to transform. He had no idea of what would happen so giving her more space wouldn't hurt.
Upon seeing the bright lights that surrounded the girl in black, Demi looked at her with his eyes and mouth wide open. Desmond shielded his eyes from the brightness with his hand even if it only lasted a few seconds. They both had to admit that it was indeed impressive. When Ravenna changed into her Digimon spirit form, the blond tamer felt someone hugging him tightly before he could say anything. It was kind of weird since the Frenchman was much taller than Pickle. None the less, he did his best to return the hug as she went toward Demi to also give him a big hug. The fireball extended his arms to her hoping that she would lift him off the ground for the hug.
And then, Pickle told them that she wanted to Spirit Evolve and learn to fight. Desmond slowly shook his head. "I can teach you to defend, not fight." He said as Demi went floating back to him. "Trying to fight anything won't do any good in here. There's a good bunch of Digimon that are harmless but some of them are... Erm... Ruthless?" He wasn't sure of which word he could have said. "I mean, they can get very big and dangerous and they are not dumb. They can be quite cunning actually." The blond tamer faced his fair share of evil Digimon and got way to close to being deleted, more than once.
"Well, I guess Ravenna can teach you how to erm, Digivolve." He then looked down at Demi who looked up with a smile on his face. "And I guess you will need a training buddy." The fireball nodded and pointed to the sky with both hands. "Yes!" Desmond took out his Digivice and began pressing buttons. "Let's start with your champion form." He then said before pointing the little Device at his tiny partner. "Ready, Demi?"
"Yes!" He shouted again and closed his eyes. A beam of light shot out of the device and exploded into light upon touching Demi. In a flash, there was now a new Digimon standing in front of them. It was much, much bigger than his previous form. A fourteen feet tall man of fire and metal stood up slowly and looked at Ravenna and then Pickle before waving to the two. "This is Demi in his champion form, MetalMeramon." Desmond said as he placed his Digivice into his pocket. The blond tamer went closer to his giant partner and placed a hand on his leg. "Don't worry, he is as friendly as before."
"Now, it's Ravenna turn to teach. Don't worry, I'm sure it will all go well."

Ravenna smiles as Pickle is dog piled with baby Digimon. The woman in black never did anything that kuwaii. The young girl is really enjoying this experience. She also smells good, according to Demi.
After Ravenna spirit evolved to her Suzamon from, Pickle hugs Desmond and Demi, then gives Ravenna a hug. Raye is startled to receive such a friendly gesture. She isn't the type to initiate hugs, but is glad to get one. Pickle asks to learn how to Spirit Evolve and fight. Desmond remarks that he can teach her to defend, not fight. The crow on Suzamon's arm hops onto her shoulder.
"I see where Desmond is coming from. People with Digivices are meant to protect the innocent and defend the city from rogue Digimon."
Ravenna looks at Desmond with a serious expression.
"At least, that's what I've heard. Who is to say what our purpose is?"
The Psychic Spirit kneels down and faces Pickle, resting her hand on the girl's shoulder.
"We can teach you how to use your powers, but we won't always be there to help. Sometimes, it's not always easy to figure out what the right thing to do is. What you do with this power is on you. However, from what I've seen of you so far, I don't think we will have to worry."
The crow on Ravenna's shoulder hops onto Pickle's head, and looks down at her curiously.
"Looks like Crowman made a new friend. I give my crows punny names, but there's far too many to keep track of."
Demi breaks out his Champion form, MetalMeramon. The fire sprite grows into a tall burning man half clad in armor.
"Wow, Demi. You're all grown up now."
It was nice to finally meet a fire Digimon that is as sweet as Demi. Meramon do not have the best reputation, what with being walking fire hazards. Ravenna stands with her hand outstretched towards Pickle.
"I'll teach you to use your Digivice. May I see it?"

Pickle nodded when Desmond spoke about defending, not fighting. "I think I get it. I mean, starting a fight's not usually a good thing, since it tends to just cause problems. If you're protecting yourself or someone else though, that's okay. All I wanna do is help people, you know?" Ravenna's comment about purposes caused Pickle to smile. "I know the purpose I've chosen for myself. Helping people who need it, protecting people who need it. Doing whatever I can to make things better."
Demi's digivolution was met the with same wide eyed awe that Ravenna's Spirit evolution was, with Pickle immediately scooting over next to him to examine his new form more closely. "You're so much bigger, it's amazing! Can all Digimon change like this? You said Champion form, what does that mean?" The heat wafting off of Demi's new form made it so Pickle couldn't get too close, but they were happily glancing over the armor covering portions of Demi's body. "What's this made of, it looks like steel or something but if we're not on Earth I can't say for sure that that's what it is."
Ravenna's approach, warnings and reassurances were met just as seriously as Desmond's, a solemn nod to signify that Pickle understood. "I'll try to live up to your expectations." And then the serious mood was broken as the Crow on Ravenna's shoulder hopped over to land on Pickle's head, causing her to giggle before reaching up with one hand to scritch under its chin. "Hello Crowman, lovely to meet you."
Ravenna's request for their Digivice caused them to pause however, a flicker of hesitation at the idea of being separated even a little bit from the device that seemed so important. that hesitation didn't last long however, and Pickle quickly removed it from the pocket she had placed it in and passed it over. with an attentive look. "Okay, so how does this work?"

Desmond was happy to hear that Pickle just wanted to help people. A smile grew on his face as he looked up to see his partner's face. The MetalMeramon would look down and smile as well. Unfortunately, Demi wasn't as bright in this form and couldn't really speak with words but he still could understand them perfectly. Kneeling down to be closer to the younger girl, the Digimon of fire moved his large metal hand in front of her to have a high-five, "Don't worry, he won't burn you unless he wants too." His tamer said before going closer to Pickle and show her his Digivice. "Digimon tends to have many forms, some are bigger than the others but in most cases, they get stronger." He paused to press a button on the device's screen lit up.
"It is pretty hard to know what form is which. Luckily, our Digivice can help. I don't know how your works, Ravenna could teach on that." Pausing again to press a button so that the screen would change into an orange color. There were pixelated images on it, images of the diverse forms of Demi. The first one was a fireball with a smile on it. "That is his default form." He pressed the same button and another image replaced the previous one. "This one his MetalMeramon. I call it his Champion form. I heard it somewhere from a Digimon If my memory is good." After that, he showed Pickle the other two forms Demi could be before turning his attention to Ravenna. "I presume that you too can Digivolve into more forms?"
By now, Demi was not sitting on the grass while moving his head around in all directions. It was hard to tell at what he was looking at exactly due to his helmet hiding most of his face. But he was smiling so that was a good sign. "Eager to see Pickle in her Digimon form?" The blond tamer asked his partner who nodded slowly. Desmond then leaned against the MetalMeramon and then gave the two spirit users all of his attention. To be honest, he too was very curious.

Ravenna could tell that Pickle would be responsible with this new power. The girl remarked about how different Demi looks in his Champion form. It was clear Pickle's heart is in the right place and she is taking the responsibility seriously. When Pickle talks to Crowman and scratches his chin, the crow caws happily and stretches its wings.
Desmond mentions how Digimon have can several forms. The Tamer shows Demi's forms on his Digivice. He asks Ravenna if she has more forms as well. "You are correct. Each more feathery than the last."
The time has come for Pickle to try Spirit Evolving. Ravenna had asked to see Pickle's Digivice. While hesitant, Pickle hands it to the Psychic Spirit. Crowman tenses his feet ever so slightly as he hops off Pickle's head and perches back on Suzamon's shoulder. The woman in black examines the device.
"It's certainly a D-tector like mine. The basic functions must be the same." Ravenna pauses for a moment, then throws the device over her shoulder into the trees. "Lesson one, always keep track of your Digvice."
Wow. Ravenna is kind of an asshole in her spirit form. Crowman spreads his wings and caws right in Ravenna's ear. "Easy! I was trying to prove a point. AHWK!"
Suzamon caws like a crow and another crow comes flying in carrying Pickle's D-tector. The second crow drops the device back to Pickle and perches on Raye's other shoulder.
"Sorry for messing with you. To activate spirit forms, just raise your hand out and say "Spirit Evolution" very loud and obnoxious. It should work fine saying the magic words in a normal voice, but it is much more dramatic, and that's what most Spirit Users seem to do."
Ravenna's teaching methods were questionable. Was it worth tricking Pickle to teach her something so simple? The two crows on Suzamon's shoulder start buzzing around MetalMeramon's helmet. "Hey! Quit pestering the big guy. BWAHK!" The crows caw back and fly off to a nearby tree. Suzamon looks at the armored flame Digimon. "You're not as talkative in that form, are you? Is it the helmet?"

Demi's open palm was quickly met with Pickle's hand in a high five, a rather loud crack echoing from the point of impact as, like most things, they didn't hold back. Turning their head up to look at Desmond and listen to his explanations on Digivolution, Pickle nodded along enthusiastically to show that they were absorbing this information studiously. The increasingly heavily armored forms of Demi popping up on Desmond's Digivice's screen were met with excitement as Pickle patted Demi's arm.
"You're pretty strong aren't you? That's awesome buddy." When Desmond asked Ravenna about her own additional evolutionary forms, or whatever variation Spirit Users had, and she replied with an affirmative... Well if Pickle's eyes got much larger they were liable to fall out of their sockets.
Passing over her Digivice was hard, an inherent protectiveness over it having already blossomed in the short period that she had had it. When Ravenna tossed it into the trees behind her Pickle ran forward with a startled cry to chase after it, only for it to be returned shortly after by another crow. Clutching it to her chest tightly, Pickle glared briefly at Ravenna and stuck out her tongue. "I only passed it to you because I thought you wouldn't do anything to it. Guess I was wrong about that." It wasn't likely that Pickle was going to let anyone so much as touch it again anytime soon after that, but she still listened to Ravenna's explanation on how to Spirit Evolve.
"Alright... uhhh...Here we go." Raising it in front of herself in one hand, Pickle swiftly brought it down at an angle while her other arm came up in a counterbalance to the movement. "Spirit, Evolve!" As she cried out the words, she dabbed, and was consumed by light. The shell of light swirled, pulsing faintly purple for a moment as within it Pickle was changed. And then the light shattered like glass as leaping forward into view for the first time came Pickle in Labramon form.
"Whoa. Uh wow this is weird. Kinda disorienting?" Pickle staggered around for a minute, getting used to being both much shorter and having four legs rather than two. As they adapted, they could feel something in the back of their mind connect for the first time, a low pulse of feeling. Approval? Contentment maybe? A sense of finally you got to this point at last, hello rising from somewhere that hadn't been there before. It caught them off guard to be certain, but it felt right nonetheless, The biggest changes were to their senses, smell and hearing increased significantly in accordance to their more bestial form. It was a bit much all at once but they were starting to figure it out slowly but surely. "Okay. Alright I think I'm good? I feel a bit like I've been stretched and squished a bunch, but I think I'm okay! This is pretty cool."

Desmond couldn't believe his eyes when Ravenna tossed Pickle's Digivice away making the younger girl run at it. Well, it was true that they should keep their Digivice nearby but that was kind of mean. None the less, the blond tamer just stood there, still leaning on Demi watching the scene. Fortunately, another crow went to retrieve the Digivice and give it back to its owner. Looking at Demi's head while not saying anything, the blond tamer just shrugged. His partner did the same and then went back to watching the two Spirit Users. Suddenly, the two crows went toward him and began circling his head. The MetalMeramon barely moved his head but he smiled. For him, that meant having new friends.
"Demi doesn't talk much in his Champion form." Desmond quickly answered Ravenna's question. "He is still as kind but for some reason, he loses the ability to make complete sentences. But, he can understand us just as well. And he still likes hugs." Upon hearing the word hug, Demi shifted his upper body and hug Desmond with his right fiery arm. "See?" The human said while laughing a bit. After the small one arm hug, the fire Digimon went back to looking at Pickle as she tried to Digivolve for the first time. He found it funny seeing her raise her hand and then the light that engulfed her and a Labramon was now standing where she was. The Frenchman wasn't expecting that, he thought that she would become something bigger for some reason.
The MetalMeramon would stand up and then kneel in front of Pickle and pat her head with his giant left hand. "Pickle!" He said in a voice much deeper than in his DemiMeramon form. "Give her space, Demi." Desmond would then say to his partner. He knew that Demi didn't mean to be rude but he thought that maybe the new Spirit User would like a bit of clearance to adapt to her new body. The fire giant stayed on his knees with a broad smile on his face. "Take your time, Pickle." The Frenchman then suggested.
And also, Ravenna was here to guide her. Desmond would let the more experienced Spirit User teach Pickle what she can and just stay a bit further away. Well, they sure didn't waste any time at all. He had no real clue on how it must feel to turn into a Digimon but he had faith that she was a quick learner. "When you are ready, maybe you could try erm, train with Demi." The blond tamer would come closer to his partner and lean on his side once more. "Give it all you got, he is pretty tough."

Demi didn't seem to mind the crows buzzing around him. Desmond confirms that Demi doesn't talk much in this form, but he is still kind and can understand them. Ravenna liked having a strong, silent type around. They did not have to worry being in the Village of Beginnings, but Ravenna would feel safe in more dangerous areas of the Digital World with Desmond and Demi around.
Ravenna's trick caused Pickle to chase after her Digivice. After it was returned, the girl glares at Ravenna and sticks out her tongue. Ravenna makes a pouty face, closing her eyes and turning her head to the side.
"I only did that to drill home the D-tector's importance. It wasn't in any danger. I'm sorry for messing with you."
Ravenna wasn't sure what Desmond would think of her mean methods of teaching. The blonde Tamer did not react with more than a shrug. Now it was time for Pickle to Spirit Evolve for the first time. Ravenna watches with anticipation. She wonders what kind of Digimon Pickle would be. Pickle follows the directions and Spirit Evolves. To Ravenna's delight, Pickle appears as Labramon.
"Oh! Pickle, you're a cute doggie!"
Ravenna would have to keep herself from talking to Pickle with a baby voice. It is going to be tough because she is so cute. Demi is excited to see Pickle too. It is taking her some getting used to being in this form. Ravenna gives Pickle some advice before she tries out some of her new abilities with Demi. The Psychic Spirit flaps her wings and flies up a few feet, before crossing her legs and sitting on a small cloud of psychic energy, hovering in place.
"It might feel alien at first, but you are behind the wheel now. Let your instincts guide you. Many Spirit Users have spirits that help them. The tricky part is finding them. We call this level Sprite Spirit, like Rookie level for most Digimon. Demi is Champion, one stage higher. There's a huge power gap between stages, so I don't want to see you running around taking on higher levels in real battles."
Suzamon glides away slowly, as Labramon gets ready to train with MetalMeramon. She turns to Desmond and smiles.
"Have you ever met someone just starting on their Digimon journey before her? It's still strange going from student to mentor. What about you? What was it like when you first became a Tamer?"
