Getting a pat from Demi made Pickle grin happily, and Ravenna's delighted words made it grow even further. It was always nice to be cute, and knowing they were still cute as a Digimon was a slight relief. Desmond and Ravennas advice was met with a nod and a slight wag of their tail, and wasnt that an odd feeling? Having a tail, walking on four legs, the sudden increase in sensory information and the drastic facial shape change would all take some getting used to. Yet...
At the back of Pickles mind was an continuous buzz of feeling, something not quite but almost thoughts that weren't her own. After Ravenna mentioning spirits again, Pickle decided to reach out to whatever it was as she turned to Ravenna and asked "So what're spirits like?"
That's as far into their questions as they got before they felt something click into place and a wall of sensations and emotions and information slammed into them as they reached for whatever the buzzing at the back of their mind is Nd connected. Images of a Labramon in battle, of it protecting and aiding other Digimon and fighting alongside others, of grandiose moments of heroism and humble quiet moments among friends. It was enough to cause Pickle to black out for a second, faltering on their feet before coming too again.
"Oh. Uh. Huh. I think I get it. That was really really weird. Hey Ravenna? Has your spirit ever shown you things? Because I think that's what just happened?"

"Actually, you are not the first ones I met," Desmond said while looking at Ravenna. Crossing his arms and taking a moment to think, the blond tamer tried to remember what exactly happened before being a tamer. "Well, it was kind of weird." He began speaking slowly. "But I guess everyone felt that way when they first got here." However, weird didn't mean not fun as Pickle clearly was enjoying her time in here. "I got my Digivice a few days before meeting Demi. I tried to break it apart on multiple occasions but that thing is unbreakable." He took a moment look at the device, it didn't even have a scratch mark on it. "Demi came into my life trying to eat my cellphone. But he doesn't remember that."
"I've seen my fair share of new tamers but you two are the first Spirits Users I've seen. To be fair, I do wonder how it would feel to turn into a Digimon." Looking up at Demi, the blond tamer used his elbow to gently nudge the giant's leg. "I guess I would feel much taller." And he laughed a bit before turning his attention to Pickle as she asked Ravenna if she has been seeing things before. Of course, the Frenchman never had that feeling so he could only imagine what it would be to have something inside yourself speaking to you. To be honest, though it would be nice sometimes to have more than a gut feeling from time on time. He did know that if his Digivice could talk instead of pointing at directions would be much more useful.
Desmond would then place his Digivice back once more into his pocket and then turn his attention back to Pickle in her Digimon form. "What did you see?" He asked with curiosity. The Digital World is strange and complex and whatever she saw, it must be important. He did hope that it wouldn't lead them to danger because he knew very well that it was very possible. Unfortunately, there was pretty much just one way to find out. Unless Ravenna knew something that they didn't. The tamer looked at Ravenna without smiling this time. He, however, stood silent and just wauted for her to say something.

Ravenna and Desmond talk about their early days with Digimon. Desmond says he had the Digivice for a few days before meeting Demi. He tried to break it open but was could not. Demi tried eating Desmond's cell phone when they met. "That's funny. A crow took my cell phone and returned with a Digivice."
It turns out Pickle and Ravenna are the first Spirit Users that Desmond has met. The blonde tamer wonders how it would feel to turn into a Digimon. "For me, it's like a floodgate of energy opening up. Then it is horrible pain in battle. It is still weird switching between having wings and not having them. All this flying around in leather armor with my legs showing, and they are still pale. I can't figure it out."
The group was nearly unrecognizable from before at the mall. Pickle is a dog, Ravenna is a bird woman, and the cute child from before Demi is now a fire giant, leaving only Desmond's appearance the same. Pickle asks Ravenna what spirits are like.
"Spirits can vary from person to person. Usually they chime in with helpful advice. It's like hearing voices, only not crazy at all! Be careful, for they can be manipulative." Suddenly Pickle has some kind of vision. She asks Ravenna if her spirit has shown her things before. "You had a vision? Well I guess it is possible. What was it like?"
Ravenna exchanges a look with Desmond, and she appears concerned. Pickle has only just Spirit Evolved for the first time, and already there is a spirit reaching out to her. Ravenna is nervous about what Pickle's first spirit will be like. Trying not to worry so much, Ravenna smiles at Pickle.
"Communicating with these spirits is part of being a Spirit User. The tough part can be getting them to shut up. If you are lucky, you'll have one like mine who keeps quiet and stays out of my business, most of the time." A crow flies over to Ravenna and starts pecking at her head. "What the hell's your problem? Stop it!"
Suzamon tries swatting the crow away, but the crow caws loudly in her ear. She loses her balance, and her lack of focus causes the cloud of energy under her to weaken. Ravenna falls through the cloud and lands hard on her tail bone. Her face red in embarrassment, she gets up and stares daggers at the crow. A voice can be heard telepathically by everyone there.
"You should not speak so critically of spirits, human." Ravenna realizes which crow this is. "Oh, its you! This is the bird that gave me my Digivice." Salem lands on Ravenna's head, and Ravenna looks up at the bird with rage. "Is that the best introduction you can give? My name is Salem, and I am this bird brain's spirit. I see a new Spirit User has awoken."

Pickle was still a bit dazed, still processing everything that they'd just been shown. "Uh. I think it was my spirit? How it used to live I mean. I saw it fighting and protecting other Digimon and spending time with its friends. It was showing me who it was and what I could do since I'm using it's body... I think." Pickle laid down for a moment, eyes closed, feeling that excited pulsing in the back of their mind still. "I think it's happy? That I'm here and that I've spirit evolved I mean. It's excited." It was kinda nice actually, this presence. Pickle felt like they'd made a new friend of sorts.
Ravenna's comments about talking to Spirits caused Pickle to perk up again. "So is it always like, talking talking? Or does it tend to be more like visions? Or just waves of feelings, cuz I've got that right now. And right from the second I transformed really. It's very happy." And then a crow flew down to begin pestering Ravenna, startling a laugh out of Pickle before it revealed itself to not only be able to speak, but to be Ravenna's Spirit.
"It's nice to meet you Salem! I'm Pickle, a new Spirit User!" Pickle's tail wags back and forth delightedly, and entirely unconscious movement to express their still unquenched excitement over everything that's been happening. "Oh! Desmond, Demi, sorry to keep you waiting. Weren't we going somewhere else to avoid damaging anything around the Village? Lead on!"

Desmond was a bit confused when Salem came flying toward Ravenna and start pecking her on the head. However, the blond tamer did not move and simply watched them as the spirit user fell down to the ground. It was kind of comical seeing her fall like that. Demi didn't move as well, he was still sitting on the grass and bobbing his head from side to side with his usual smile on his face. Well, it seemed that this Salem could talk to them telepathically? At first, the Frenchman blinked a few times upon hearing the voice. But then, that is certainly not the strangest thing he saw so far. Although, did that meant that the crow could read their mind? He instinctively trying to clear his mind but it didn't work as thinking about not thinking was harder than it looks.
Again, both Desmond and his partner had no real clue on what those voices could be. The tamer was still leaning on the fire giant while listening to the two well, three if we count Salem. Not sure of what to do or say, he just quietly move his attention around until Pickle said his name. "Oh, erm..." He actually forgot that he wanted her to test if she would be capable of defending herself. "Unless Ravenna has something else to teach you, we could get a bit further away and then we can start training." He said calmly as he looked at older spirit user. "But take your time, there's no rush at all."
If they would be done with their talking, Demi would stand up and scoop his tamer into his arm and giggle a bit. It was always funny when the Digimon would be the one holding the human and not the contrary. "Alright, I think I can see a good spot there." The tamer said while pointing to a direction. "No trees or anything so it would be a good spot to start with." He then paused and looked down at Pickle and Ravenna. "Need a lift?" He asked while laughing softly. "Got room for more up here." If they would say yes, Demi would gently pick them up into his arms before making his way toward where Desmond pointed at.
It wouldn't take too long for all of them to reach the small area that was pretty much just grass all around them. Demi would let them get off his arms and then stand up once more. "Alright, get yourself comfortable with your new form, Pickle." He wasn't totally sure just moving around felt to the new spirit user. "When you are ready, erm... Try to hit Demi I guess." The fire Digimon kneel down and placed his bionic left arm in front of him as a target for Pickle. "Again, just take your time. I don't think that we are in any kind of hurry right now." And upon saying that Desmond would step away from his partner and go toward Ravenna.
"If you got any tips for her to erm... Unlock her powers or something, maybe?" Desmond had absolutely no clues on what Pickle in her Labramon could do. With what he saw before, she could be breathing fire or shooting a bolt of electricity from her eyes.

Pickle confirms that she saw visions while in Labramon form. She saw her spirit fighting. Maybe this was the spirit's way of showing her how to use her new abilities. Pickle asks Ravenna if the messages are always hearing voices, or is it more visual.
"For me, I hear the voice of the spirit communicating to me. I don't remember seeing any visions yet, but having a spirit is kind of like a sixth sense. The waves of feelings is normal. It's like you are the spirit, but different, if that makes any sense."
Salem pestering Ravenna got a laugh out of Pickle. The new Spirit User introduces herself to the strange crow.
"It's nice to meet you too, Pickle. Ravenna's explanation does not make sense. The important thing Pickle is that you Spirit Evolved correctly and you can feel your spirit."
Ravenna knows that she is going to get more and more annoyed as Salem continues to belittle her opinions around the others. She was just getting used to being a mentor, and now her spirit is brushing her off.
"I do hope you are here for something besides making me look bad, Salem." "Oh, you do just fine at that on your own. I am here to make sure you don't screw up a new Spirit User's training with your inexperience and temper."
Ravenna bites her lip and controls her emotions. The cuteness of Labramon helps her control her rage towards the crow. Pickle mentions they were going to go somewhere to train. Desmond mentions they can get further away now unless Ravenna has more to teach.
"Ravenna has blabbed on long enough. Lead the way, blondie."
Demi scoops up his Tamer and carries him. Desmond asks Pickle and Ravenna if they want a lift.
"That sounds nice, thank you." "Oh sure, you are too lazy to walk or fly yourself. If I recall correctly, you were a track athlete." "I'm not lazy! Maybe I just wanted to see what it was like to be carried by a Digimon."
Ravenna happily accepts Desmond's offer and Demi picks her up. Ravenna giggles and relaxes on Demi's shoulder, tucking her wings in. Salem hops off of Ravenna's head onto Desmond's head, then onto Demi's. The group goes over to a large clearing where they can train without causing a lot of destruction. Demi sets Raye down and she curtsies towards the fire giant.
"Thank you for the ride, Demi."
Salem lands on Pickle's head, then flies back over to Ravenna's head as Pickle gets ready to start training with Demi.
"You call me lazy when you keep standing on heads?" "Oh, it's not due to sloth. I'm just reading minds." "Stop joking around! You can't really read minds. Wait, can you?!" "Well, I am a Psychic Spirit after all. I don't need to be a mind reader to know what's on your mind: Shopping, eating, and Pop music."
Ravenna does not know if Salem is being honest about reading minds, or just messing with them. Spirits might be able to read their Spirit User's mind, but how could they read the mind of anyone else? Desmond asks Ravenna if she has any tips to unlock Labramon's powers.
"Um, not really. It's sort of instinctive." "Pickle, try different attacks and see what happens. For instance, if you have a claw related ability and use your claws, your body should connect the dots and use that ability. Then you can use the ability at will."
That makes sense. Maybe Salem really is being helpful instead of messing around like he usually does.

Salem was funny, that's what Pickle got from the conversation between him and Ravenna. The Spirit harassing the older Spirit User provided a look into a different sort of relationship and it gave Pickle pause as they wondered what their relationship with their Spirit would be like as time went on. Hopefully it would be a positive one. Pickle watched and listened and took Ravenna's reassurances that the odd emotions were normal to heart as Desmond lifted Demi and made to lead them away to a better practice area if they were ready.
At the offer of a ride, Pickle grinned up at the others, tail wagging, but shook their head. "I want to get used to moving around like this more you know? I think it'd be better if I walked. Four legs is...odd." They followed Demi as he carried Ravenna and Desmond to a clearing in the trees, hopefully open enough to avoid any major fire hazards as Demi set the others down and took up a position across from Pickle. They took a moment to examine their surroundings, letting the sights and smells and sounds wash over them. This was a good place, the Digital World was wonderful. They couldn't wait to explore and see what adventures could be had and who they could meet. Already they had some new friends who were going out of their way to help them get their footing in this new life. Before diving into their mind once more, Pickle paused to listen to any forthcoming advice from Ravenna.
They inhaled, letting the memories that had been shared fill their mind once more, thinking of battles, thinking of attacks, letting the odd muscle memory of this new form and the emotions of their Spirit mesh with their movements as they ran at Demi from across the field. Their eyes were wide and focused, but oddly distant all at once, Pickle currently only half in the moment as they remembered things that weren't their own experiences. They got within a few feet of Demi and opened their mouth wide.
"Retriever Bark!" A sonic wave of force burst from their open jaws to impact with the target Demi so readily provided. Their voice was a bit odd, a slight resonance layered over top that gave it an unusual tone.

Desmond thought that it was clever of Pickle to choose to get there my foot to get used to having four legs. He did not think about that when he offered them to get a ride from Demi. As they all gathered around the clearing, Desmond would keep his eyes on the new spirit user while slowly backing away from his partner just in case she would shoot something at him by mistake. Demi was very ready and didn't move at all when Labramon used her first attack. The sound made him flinch for a second as he was not prepared for a sound attack. The bark was loud but it didn't look like it did a lot of damage to the MetalMeramon. However, he did catch him off guard for a second as he placed his hand on the ground to keep his balance.
The Frenchman also did not expect the barking to be that loud. While it wasn't pleasant, it wasn't extremely painful to the ears neither. He was also happy that he got a bit further away. If he was next to Demi, maybe his eardrums would hurt a bit. The blond tamer would wait for a second to see if Pickle would try another attack before taking a few steps closer. "Well, that was loud." He said as he looked at Demi who looked back at him. "What do you think, Demi?" The fire giant nodded and giggled a bit. "Yeap, pretty loud." The tamer said while laughing softly. "Alright, I think that you can try that once more if you want to." If she were to do so, Desmond would cover his ears.
"What else do you have?" Desmond asked with curiosity. He then realized that maybe he sounded a bit rude by asking like that. He hid his face with his left hand by scratching his hair for a second. "Let see how high you can jump maybe?" He asked as Demi inched closer to the spirit user. The fire Digimon lifted his left arm into the air and then slowly swung his hand left to right to give Pickle something to leap above to see if she could jump higher than his arm. He would do so a few more times if she would agree to it.
"Alright, next step would be to test your agility maybe?" The blond tamer was trying to find what they could do to make Pickle more in control of her Labramon form. "This time, Demi is going to go faster and you try to avoid it?" Desmond didn't want his partner to use any fire attacks just yet. "Try to hit high and low, Demi." He said to the Digimon would again just nodded not saying anything. "Whenever you are ready, Pickle." They would wait for her to give them the okay before starting this turn of training.
As Demi went on to trying to hit the Labramon, The Frenchman would go toward Ravenna. "If you have any ideas, I'm all ears." He would say to her before crossing his arms. "I think that we should go slow but I have the feeling that Pickle will love going faster. She seems to be very eager to test herself." Well, she was young and full of energy and it wasn't a bad thing at all. He knew that Demi was also having fun training with his new friend. Desmond knew that because he could see the smile on his partner's face. Desmond would turn his head to look at the spirit user and Salem with a small smile. "I think she is going to like being in here."

When offered a ride on Demi, Pickle declines so that she can get used to walking around in her Labramon form. Ravenna is glad to see Pickle this dedicated to her new path as a Spirit User. The group goes over to a clearing to begin Pickle's training. "You can do it, Pickle! Show us what you can do."
As Pickle gets ready to try out an attack, she experiences the memories of her spirit form. The Labramon lets out a roaring Retriever Bark, unleashing a sonic energy attack towards Demi's target. The bark is quite loud, coming from a Rookie Digimon. It's a good thing Ravenna and Desmond are enough distance away. "Ah, a sound based attack. That was as loud as my caws."
Desmond suggests other training methods, like seeing how high the pooch can jump. They test Pickle's agility by having Demi chase her. Desmond asks Ravenna if she has any ideas. "Well, she could use my crows as target practice. It might also be time for Pickle to get hit by an attack. Not from Demi, obviously. We don't want to scorch her."
Salem pokes Ravenna on the side of the head. "How dare you treat your feathered brethren as cannon fodder?" "Oww! They'll be fine." "Why don't you step into the line of fire? Maybe Pickle is ready for a one on one battle. You can use your spirit sprite form."
Ravenna appears concerned. This was all happening so fast. Pickle has received her D-Tector, spirit evolved, and started using attacks all in a single day. As hesitant as she is, Raye has to admit that it might be time. "It does make sense, Pickle is going to have to fight other Digimon if she continues on her path. What do you guys think? Are you ready for a battle against Demi or myself at your level, Pickle?"
The training wheels were coming off. Pickle is already off to a great start with her new friends here to guide her. The girl is excited to be here and eager for more. A one on one battle would be a fitting test, or Pickle can continue training some more. "Desmond is right, Pickle looks ecstatic to be in the Digital World. She is a natural, not like dark rain cloud girl here, BWAHRK!"

Instead of barking again or attacking another way, Pickle backed up with a shake of their head. "Attacking's not too hard, I think I can get that down pretty easily. My Spirit showed me how." Desmond started talking about testing their physical abilities and Pickle happily complied. Jumping was surprisingly easy, Pickle was able to gain a pretty good amount of height just from a standing leap alone, never mind with a running jump. getting over Demi's slowly moving arm was a simple matter as Pickle continued to adapt to this new form, adjusting to their increased physical abilities and finding their knowledge of free running to translate pretty handily in this situation.
The shift into agility testing was more challenging for Pickle, a few very near misses and a couple of relatively gentle but solid hits as Demi slowly sped up and they tried to dodge. It was clear they were still a bit clumsy on their feet, but they were also improving over time as they adapted further to their current body. After a while of this Pickle seemed to find a rhythm of sorts and managed to dodge everything afterwards that Demi threw at them, although near misses were still frequent.
As they slowed to a stop and Desmond and Ravenna began talking about what to do next, Pickle trotted up to the pair with a slowly wagging tail. "I think it'd be fun to have a friendly spar! I kinda already know how to take a hit but I've never done anything like this before. I think I should experience it now rather than later in a real fight so I know what to expect a bit better." Pickle's shoulders drooped a touch. "Also I want to try it out before I can't stay like this any more, I'm starting to get tired."

Desmond nodded when Ravenna asked them if a friendly spar would be a good idea. He didn't know if Demi or the more experienced spirit user would be the better partner for this though. Maybe Ravenna could go to a rookie form as well and make things a bit more fair but then, it wasn't a real battle so fair isn't really needed at all. But he did stay silent to see which one Pickle would choose. Demi was now sitting on the ground being distracted by a butterfly flying around his head. The blond tamer would also follow the insect for a moment before it just went away. Seeing that made him think that maybe Pickle could fight Demi and spin around him if she were to be fast enough. He took another short pause at looking at the sky before turning his attention back to the two spirit users.
"Well, it is up to you really." the Frenchman would say to the two ladies. "Ravenna surely has more experience than Demi and I." He admitted. "However, facing Demi in this form could be a nice workout for you. While he is big and can take a lot of damage, he ain't the quickest in this form. But don't think that he won't try to swing that giant left arm around." After saying that, Desmond crossed his arms once more and then slowly move his head to look at the fire Digimon. It looked like Demi didn't hear any of this as his head was looking up at the white clouds up in the sky. The tamer sighed but he wasn't going to be mad at him for being distracted.
"Or you two can try to team up and face Demi together." He then suggested. "That way you can learn to synchronize with each other to bring down a bigger foe." He paused again to see if they would agree or not. "You will face bigger foes in the wild, I'm sure of that." He thought that it could be a good plan for the two spirit users to tag-team against his partner. Ravenna can show her some of her tricks and teach her while on the battlefield. It wouldn't be a real fight as the fire giant would give them time to strategize before going on the offensive.
Of course, they had no obligations to follow his suggestion. To be fair, neither Demi and he ever trained with someone before so that was still pretty new for them. If they would decide on any other plans, Desmond would gladly give them space and so would Demi. "So what do you you think?" The human asked as he looked at Ravenna and then Pickle and back and forth. "I'm open to any suggestions as well. And we can always stop if you get too tired, we certainly don't want you to overwork yourself on your first day." He said with a small smile. "As long as you feel okay and not pressured at all. We are here to help each other after all."

Pickle is really getting the hang of things in her new form. With her Spirit guiding her, Pickle excels at jumping and does well at agility training. Ravenna notices that her movement in this body is improving over time. It was peaceful being out here. Demi and Desmond even come upon a fluttering butterfly. Salem's voice can be heard in a somewhat sad tone.
"Isn't it nice? A new Spirit User is on her way to the big leagues." "I know. Just think of the adventures that await her now." When Ravenna mentions a practice battle, Pickle responds enthusiastically to having a friendly spar. Pickle thinks that she should learn what battling is like now, and mentions that she has a limited time before she reverts back.
"So smart, this one. She's way smarter than you, Ravenna." "Let's not go there. You should learn to be a lot nicer to me. I hope Pickle doesn't have to deal with this abuse." "Don't take yourself so seriously. You may be a few years older than her, and you have some experience under your belt, but you are still a novice in my eyes."
No one was really sure who Pickle should face. Desmond leaves it up to the ladies to decide, mentioning Ravenna has more experience. "Maybe as a Spirit User, but don't sell yourself short, there. Time will tell, there's always more challenges on the horizon."
Desmond makes a good case for Demi as a sparring partner. Favoring strength over speed makes for a good matchup with the more agile Labramon. Then the Frenchman suggests the two of them teaming up against Demi. "I like that idea the best. Pickle and I can team up in our Spirit Sprite forms against Demi."
This time, only Ravenna can hear Salem. "It's a good thing you are not facing Pickle. You've already created emotional ties to the young Spirit User. Either you would hold back, or you would go too far like before. Try to relax and have fun with it." "Stop messing with my head! Though, you make a good point."
"I'm up for a 2 on 1 spar, but it's your call, Pickle. You are right, we can only stay in spirit form for so long, especially since this is the first time. I'll shift to my sprite form now." Salem hops off of Ravenna's head and finds a warm rock to rest on. Ravenna floats above the ground and covers herself with her wings. Black and white energy circles around as the wings shrink in size. Ravenna appears as a crow nearly identical to the others. Only upon close inspection would one notice a silver ring around her right leg.
"Now I'm Psycrowmon. It makes flying around the city much easier." If Pickle chooses the 2 on 1 spar, Ravenna gets ready. The crow girl has been looking forward to some sparring. She hasn't been getting as much exercise since she stopped doing track. The Psycrowmon flies towards Labramon and stays close by as they get ready. "Stay on your toes, err, paws. Wait for a good opening to strike. You are fast, but if Demi hits you, it's going to hurt. I may be small, but I'm dang crafty!"

As Ravenna and Desmond discussed what to do next, Pickle sat and attended to their words, once again displaying that patient concentration that seemed entirely at odds with her usual attitude of excitable cheer. Both the idea of facing Demi and Ravenna was appealing in terms of testing her new abilities, but so too was trying out a bit of teamwork against one opponent. Pickle had gotten into fights before in defense of someone being bullied or otherwise harassed, but she'd never had the chance to work together with someone before. She'd always been on her own on those occasions. It had always been about creating a way for the person being targeted to escape rather than beating the person she was distracting so this whole exercise was new and refreshing in a way she'd never expected.
As Pickle pondered on the next course of action to take, Ravenna changed into her S-Spirit form. "You look super cute Ravenna!" Pickle bounded up to her, leaning in to take every detail in that they could before their sniffing nose brushed against a feather tip. They barely had time to turn away from Ravenna before a furious sneeze escaped and Pickle took a moment to shake off the lingering tickle in their nose as they backed up. "Pardon me!" They sat back down and continued thinking for a moment. "While I'd like to try fighting on my own like this I can always give it a shot another time. Fighting alongside a friend will be good I think, I've never done it before after all."
"Should we figure out rules? Like, no going beyond a certain point and how long we do this for, we should all be able to call off the bout whenever we feel the need to. Demi can't talk though so what about a signal, like he can tap out or something if need be?" They looked at each of their friends in turn seriously. "This is just a friendly thing so I don't wanna go overboard you know? Being safe is important even when you don't think you need to worry."

The blond tamer took time to listen to the two spirit users and nodded as they decided to follow his suggestion on a two on one spar. "Well, since it is your first fight, we should give you the first move." He said before moving toward the fire giant. Upon getting next to his partner, Desmond began poking the side of his leg to fully get his attention. Demi slowly moved his head to look at him with his usual smile. Both tamer and partner shared a moment of silence before they moved their attention to the two ladies. "You can take time to strategize your first move." He said as he leaned on the Digimon. "Demi might not talk much in this form but if you are hurting him, he will react and you will hear him." And he paused for a second before looking up and then back to the spirit users.
"Maybe we can try a Forcefield." He then suggested. "He will make a shield in from of him. It will protect him from most ranged attacks so you will have to find a way to reach him physically." Demi nodded when his tamer said those words. What he didn't mention is that Demi won't be able to move inside this forcefield. He wanted them to think that he can counter right away so that it would be a bit harder on them. "After that, we can just go with the flow and if anything goes wrong, we will stop the fight. So if you need a break, just say so and it will be alright." And with that said, Desmond pushed himself away from his partner and walk a bit closer to Pickle and Ravenna.
"If you manage to break the shield, you might be able to hit him. Just try to avoid the arm, it's made very solid." After telling this advice, Desmond lifted his left hand so that the two ladies could high five him before the spar. And with that, the blond tamer began making his way a bit further away on the side closer to Demi than the two spirit users. "Whenever you are ready." Demi would wait a few more seconds to give them time to make a plan before making a yellow forcefield around him. The shield is not completely opaque so they could still see the Digimon with his left arm in front of his body. Demi would keep the forcefield as long as he can. He will let them make an attack on him and not counter right away. He will try to protect himself but won't use his bionic arm to strike just yet.

Pickle takes the chance to have a numbers advantage for once. Ravenna bobs her head in joy when Pickle says she looks cute. While going over strategy, all of a sudden Pickle has a big sneeze. Could it be a side effect of the transformation? Pickle asks if they should go over the rules. "What if we have a safe word? If you want to stop the battle, just say cucumber."
Desmond suggests Pickle goes first. He mentions activating a force field to protect Demi from ranged attacks. Desmond lifts his hand for a high five, but the crow girl gives him a high foot instead. "Sounds good to me. Let's rumble." As they take their positions, Demi is protected by a yellow forcefield.
Ravenna gives Pickle some more pep talk. "Even at this stage, you are still quite powerful. I'll get Demi distracted, leaving him open." The Psycrowmon starts flapping her wings, hovering in the air. Ravenna lets out a loud caw and starts flying around. A trio of crows fly over to the Spirit User. The four crows circle around Demi high up above. One of the crows dives down and strikes at the barrier before flying up. Another crow drops down and attacks from the other direction.
The damage dealt from the summoned crows would be pitiful at best against a Champion, more of a nuisance. Salem watches on from afar, paying close attention particularly to the new Spirit User. Another crow flies down and crosses Demi's line of vision, trying to distract the fire giant. It was tough to tell which crow is Ravenna. Only a close up view would reveal the ring around her leg. ____________________
