Gabe caught the signs of Ramon's displeasure just from watching his eyes widen and a look of worry crossing his face. Nope, most humans don't ever take this whole Digimon reveal thing very well. Hell, he remembered Darian locking him in a wardrobe at one point back when he was a Punimon. Now that was a story to be told another day. He wondered just how much Ramon was going to be interrogating Gabe after this, surely he had some questions, and well, Gabe and/or Darian if the two ever met, were probably the best to answer it.
He was just thankful that Ramon wasn't seeming very trusting of this thing, even putting on a defensive tone in his voice. That was good, he has seen one too many Digimon trick humans into doing things, and none of them ever really ended well for the human. Gabe wasn't sure how strong this Digimon really was, but if it tried anything, it would be glaring down the teeth of a Mode Changed Mega in seconds. Glancing around, there were thankfully only a few cars driving past the outskirts of the park and not too many people roaming its field. Good, if an evacuation was needed, it wouldn't take too much effort to do it.
With a simple activation code of sorts, the language setting on the Digimon turned back to English. Listening closely, Gabe was beginning to become very defensive himself. Questions that only humans could answer? What could a Digimon need with humans. Then he started explaining about DATS, something about creators that can pierce their information barricades. Well then, that's not good. Clenching his fist, he could feel the rise of a possible Digivolution burning in his stomach.
As UFADO opened the sack he was carrying, Gabe spotted a part of a weapon he had seen only a few times before. There were only a few Digimon with a blade, and that one looked like parts of an Omnimon's sword. So..this Digimon was strong enough to beat a Royal Knight Digimon eh?
"So you beat an Omnimon, eh?" Gabe muttered before glancing sideways at Ramon, god he hoped he could handle this.
"Well, it's too late to call DATS, as part of one half of the second in command of DATS, I have to warn you that I'm already here. Gabe warned, a stern look on his face, "And I would consider you breaching our information a pretty large offense in our books."
Gabe could feel a guttural rumble in his stomach, his feral reflexes were starting to kick in as he became more defensive. If Ramon was listening carefully enough he would probably hear something akin to a wolf's growl before pouncing its prey.
"You're going to have to be returned to the Digital World, or be deleted after all. Can't let you keep going through our stuff at DATS, right? If you refuse, you're going to be dealing with me. And I'm much scarier than a Mega. he threatened.

So apparently, this thing wasn’t too happy with Ramon’s answer, not that he had expected it to like being told no to something. That polite facade was beginning to fade, somewhat quickly it seemed, and the creature seemed to be trying to intimidate them. As far as preferring honestly, Ramon couldn’t have cared less whether or not the thing was being direct, what bothered him was that this creature was speaking to him in the first place. A few times now Ramon was beginning to consider kicking a fast shot at the thing and then bolting, though he felt it was better to be patient, in this case.
”Lemme clue ‘chu in, wha’s freakin’ me out is seeing some sci-fi movie monster in real life, ese. THAT’S, why I’m muy defensivo.” Ramon said, a twinge of annoyance in his voice.
A lot of the lingo spoken between the two Digimon was more or less lost on Ramon, he understood nothing of this “Omnimon” Gabe and UFADO seemed to keep bantering on about, and the shard the Digimon withdrew didn’t hold any answers. UFADO seemed more bent on intimidating the two of them at the moment, two which Ramon was somewhat puzzled. If this thing had been in so many scraps, why did it bother coming here, where it stood to only be placed in more danger? Furthermore, the comments related to the mysterious DATS only seemed to be making Gabe more flustered. That certainly confirmed one thing, Gabe most definitely had some relation to them, which, a moment later, was cleared up even more.
After Gabe’s revelation that he was apparently very high up in DATS; part of a second in command or something such, Ramon would have taken on a look of disbelief, had he not been focusing so much on making sure UFADO didn’t take a step toward them. So, these Japanese organizations were allowing blue haired young adults into positions of power? Things were definitely WAY different compared to Tijuana that was for sure. As far as Ramon was able to piece together, apparently this strange Digimon had hacked into DAYS files, or had breached some sort of security? Ramon was beginning to get somewhat confused at the situation, and found himself understanding less and less of it.
Suddenly, something incredibly in-human emanated from Gabe, it was feral, almost animal sounding. Ramon focused momentarily on Gabe’s eyes, they appeared sharper than before, almost like he was focusing which part of UFADO to attack. Ramon was beginning to suspect something was very much up with his new friend. While he wasn’t ready to just up and leave him with some strange black monster, he had to admit, if they got in a brawl with this thing, he might let Gabe go first, partly out of curiosity.
”So, is mega some sort of karate master title, or is there some’thing ‘chu need to clue me in on?” Ramon asked, his foot kept behind his ball; and possible projectile at this point, ready to kick it if things were about to go south.
Ramon had been in fights before, though not too often. This however, was not like picking a fight with the neighboring rival teams. At this moment, Ramon was somewhat sure he’d rather be fighting the Corral Lobsters again.

UFADO took a step back. The other two didn`t seem very happy with his presence, and it was getting worse. His actions were revealing to be a complete disaster. The human Ramon decided it was time to reveal the obvious: he was scared. He didn`t say it like that, but UFADO was pretty sure what to conclude of his actual words. His revelation about DATS wasn`t taken well either. The disguiced digimon was getting angry and might meen fight. UFADO wasn`t in the mood for a fight. Gabe explained he was PART of the second in command. If UFADO did not have access to the DATS database, this would have proven to have confused him a lot. But he knew it ment a biomerge. Who was it with again?...Darian was it? "I do not wish you any harm. And if you don`t like getting breached, don`t leave your info out in the open like that." UFADO said, lifting his shoulders "Besides, I fear none of you. Not that I wish to fight. There is only one fight I want and it`s very far from here." UFADO heard a growl from Gabe. Was it possible, that he was about to blow his cover here, just because UFADO did something as simple as breaking throught the DATS security sistem? Sure, he could be angry, being part of the biomerge that formed the second in command of DATS and all, but he was putting a lot at risk for nothing. Then Gabe threatened him, saying either he went back to the digital world or UFADO and him would have each other in a not so friendly manner. UFADO laughted when he mentioned himself to be "much scarier than a mega". "Oh, I wouldn`t bother. I bested death. I bested all the Royal Knights together in my previous life. Even if you do kill me, I`ll simply come back stronger. Fear not, however, I just wish to have some questions answered and then I`ll be on my way back. Maybe the other part of your biomerge can answer them. Who knows? But the thing is... it`s pointless to struggle with me. I have seen all that info you got at DATS most of it is just plain boring. In short: let me get my answers, then I`ll go back to the digital world without any resistance and we both avoid wasting out time, ok? You don`t want him to know about holosuits do you, Gabe?" UFADO replied Then Ramon posed another question, one that made UFADO release yet another laught "No, it`s a classification method that helps keep track of the amount of data in a digimon`s body and therefore, his power." UFADO explained "I for exemple, am a rookie. An Omnimon is a mega or super mega in some cases. Not for long, of course, I`ll just have to find the rest of my body. Oh yes, of course, in case you Gabe are thinking about trying to absorb my data, I`d think again. Every inch of my body has a mind of it`s own. You look at me, you look at the last guy who absorbed my data. And my data absorbed him back. My creators left no loose ends." |

Gabe was unfortunately growing more and more impatient with the entire situation. First, he had an unknowing human who was unlikely going to escape this without at least some sort of knowledge as to what's been going on around him in secret. Secondly, this Digimon was beginning to get on his nerves. It was cocky, defiant, an undisguised tamerless Digimon walking around questioning humans, that's just...unacceptable.
Glancing towards Ramon, he caught sight of the ball at his feet as he asked his question. Was he thinking of kicking that? Hmm...it might work as a distraction, but hell, if Digimon can take bullets shot at each other, a soccer ball would probably do no more than piss it off. The problem was the question. Ramon was surely being introduced to this whole Digimon thing extremely quickly. Gabe wasn't really in position to deny him any answers so,
"A Mega is a form of Digivolution, which allows Digimon to reach the next level in power and strength. From what I can tell, this guy's just a Rookie. Not very strong yet, enough to kill a Human maybe, but not me."
UFADO went on some tangent about not wishing any harm and keeping their data protected. Hell, that wasn't his data to protect, Darian and Gabe had their own personal hardware elsewhere, he just knew that data on certain Digimon within DATS and certain other members needed to be kept private. It then proceeded to talk about not fearing any of them. Adding full of himself to the list of reasons why Gabe didn't like this guy very much, he spoke,
"You don't have to fear me for me for me to still be able to send you back to the Digital World."
That was when the laughter began, Gabe simply narrowed his eyes, this Digimon was way too full of himself. If he bested the Royal Knights then so be it. Gabe himself bested the literal thing that would have deleted the Digital World from existence just a month ago. Hell, most of the world didn't even know about that. DATS didn't even know about that. Though, this UFADO thing going on about his previous lives, so he was a reformed Digimon! That could be why, judging by the "faint" level of power radiating from him (faint definite by Gabe's standards), UFADO didn't impress him at all.
At the mention of holosuits, Gabe simply smirked. He turned his head to Ramon,
"A holosuit allows a Digimon to disguise itself as a human. It's mostly used by tamer and Digimon partnerships so that they don't cause massive paranoia within the human world." he explained effortlessly before turning back to UFADO.
Now data absorbing was something that he hadn't done in a while, hell, he barely remembered he could do it. Data mining was pretty much the rookiest of rookie things to do. Gabe's perspective was gather your own power, not farm someone else's.
"Pfft, data absorption is for Rookie's and other Digimon that can't make it past champion by themselves." Gabe scoffed, not realizing that he just indirectly admitted his Digital heritage.
"Anyways, you won't be getting any answers on this trip. First, no human's going to answer any questions when you look like that, secondly, I'm not going to let you. Either you take my suggestion of leaving this area now and going right back across the Trailmon you rode in on, or I'll reform you right here, sending your data back where it belongs. The Village of Beginnings."

From where Ramon stood, it seemed things were only going to keep progressing further down south. He understood that UFADO was telling the two of them it wasn’t interested in a scuffle, thought Ramon hardly took that as it telling the truth. In this kind of situation he’d more or less expect to get stabbed in the back walking away from something like this. It didn’t help him believe this creature wasn’t hostile with its constant banter about having bested what seemed to be more powerful creatures than itself, or death, apparently. That’s where Ramon took the cue to roll his eyes like a pair of golf balls in a washing machine, defying death was simply impossible. However, as he wrestled with trying to figure this thing our, Gabe responded to his earlier question.
”Digivol…. Digivolution? S’that like when a bug evolves from a cocoon?” Ramon inquired, his eyes still transfixed on the possible enemy.
To Ramon’s understanding, the thing in front of them wasn’t too powerful, at least compared to other Digimon, though Gabe’s guarded expressions made Ramon keep his own defense up as well. However, one of Gabe’s other comments did manage to spark a little bit of panic. Wait… so this thing COULD kill a human?! If that was the case, wouldn’t it have been better to just take it out here and now so it wouldn’t cause problems later on down the road? Ramon forced himself to take a breath to keep his thoughts under control, yes this thing was dangerous, and getting in a tizzy over it wouldn’t help him. While he still wasn’t too interested in sticking around, oddly enough, he felt as if getting away from the situation would set him back, for whatever reason.
Gabe, a moment later, explained holosuits to Ramon, a seemingly hand disguise which would…..make these monsters….look like humans. There were a few things that were being said which were beginning to unnerve Ramon a little bit. If Gabe was a Digimon…..that would have explained a few things, like the almost canine like growl, and perhaps how Gabe was a part of DATS. It seemed an odd set up, so this organization used Digimon in order to help keep the peace in the Human World? Shouldn’t humans have worked on their own problems without Digimon? Ramon hoped his questions would be answered soon.
The topic of data absorption soon came up between the two, with UFADO making a questionable declaration which Ramon himself found only adding to his lack of understanding. Digimon absorbed each other, like some kind of horror movie monster? How was all of this supposed to work, did he mean absorption like how animals ate each other and absorbed nutrients? If that was the case, Ramon hoped these… “Digimon”, didn’t absorb people. In fact, calling Digimon by their proper name was something that was going to take getting used to.
Then, perhaps, by slip of the tongue, Gabe spoke in a way which would have seriously implied experience with a situation. Only lower level Digimon absorbed? Wait, but would Gabe know that from being in DATS or….. well, that seemingly cleared up one mystery. At this point, Ramon would still be surprised to see Gabe transform into some other kind of monster, though he would at least see it coming a little. He wondered, if Gabe really was a Digimon in a holosuit, were there other people he knew who were like that? Could his coach turn out to be some scary looking monster in disguise?
For now, Gabe would hold off on kicking his soccer ball at this thing, though he was still ready to do so, none the less.
”So….Gabe, I hope ‘chu only have two eyes.” Ramon spoke.

UFADO needed answers. This guy kept blocking him from those answers and intimidating what once was a just curious human. UFADO was going bored and annoyed. But he knew better than to face the disguiced digimon. He was still incomplete, even thought he was superior when complete. UFADO let out a small growl of anger. Still, there was a couple of things he wanted to mention before he left. "Very well I shall leave, take the trailmon back. But soon I won`t have to take any Trailmon. Both worlds are crumbling as we speak, if the data I have gathered is correct. But you knew of it, you saw signs of it, right Gabe? Or should I say Gabumon? My creators never revealed to me the purpouse of my creation, but I know it has something to do with such crumbling... and the more you DATS folk hold things the worse you do to yourselves. My questions, once properly answered will provide a better future for everyone. Until then, I`m afraid, I must content with respecting your blind orders. But don`t take my word for it. Ask the Royal Knights. See what King Yggdrasil has done, or did my fight with him, change his mind? Hm... I`d like to see that old computer change. I`d pay to see it. But I doubt it will happen. Well, see you..." UFADO said, before he jumped back into the tree and from that to the next and to the other after that, thinking about what went wrong with this encounter so he could correct himself in the next one, as he walked away. Still one major problem stood in the crowd in his sistem: DATS.

Gabe stood strong as he waited for UFADO to continue whatever he was saying. His fists remained clenched, his shoulders tensed to react to anything that could possibly be done by this mysterious Digimon. He could tell the Digimon was getting restless, maybe even a little annoyed. That was never good, but Gabe knew that if the Digimon's annoyance was going to get the better of him, he would need to be focused to take it down before anything happened.
Fortunately, he complied finally. Though it seemed like this Digimon always needed to have the last laugh. It mentioned the worlds crumbling and how Gabe knew about it. Though, despite his "not needing to take a Trailmon" threat, Gabe knew for a fact that if it wasn't Trailmon, portals were still necessary for world travel. UFADO could suck it on that one.
Gabe only half realized that UFADO revealed that Gabe was a Digimon by the name of Gabumon. Meh, he'd explain it to Ramon later. As UFADO left, Gabe simply shook his head. Digimon were getting cockier and cockier every day. Though, he was going to have to keep in mind that there was apparently some sort of "creator" creating Digimon that want to do something involving humans. He'll have to mention that to Darian at some point.
He turned to Ramon, a small smirk on his face thanks to his question. Gabe thought about how to answer for a moment, thinking through all of his forms. Gabumon, yup, MetalGarurumon, yup, Alphamon, yup. Seems like every single one of his forms was a two eyed power house, but needless to say, he still had two eyes.
"I've got two eyes, all the time." Gabe explained, thinking about what to say next before speaking again, "No matter what form I'm in."
He sighed, whelp, if Ramon wanted any questions answered, now was definitely going to be the time he was going to ask them. Walking over to a nearby tree and sitting at the base of it, stretching his back before relaxing against it he spoke again,
"So, got any crazy questions you want answered? Or, do you just want to forget today happened and part ways? Up to you dude.

It took a moment for things to finally register with his brain, but after a minute, Ramon calmed down. Now that the “Digimon” had vacated the area, he no longer felt paranoid about being attacked suddenly, though he was still somewhat confused about all of what was going on. Gabe suggested that Ramon could ask him some more questions, or he could forget about this day. How exactly was Ramon supposed to just forget something like this?! He’d just met a new creature, something his eyes had never laid eyes on before, in addition someone he thought was human turned out to be one of those creatures, albeit perhaps less intimidating.
Ramon took a seat near Gabe on the soft grass, twiddling his fingers as he tried to come up with an answer for his blue haired amigo. Ramon certainly wanted to know what was going on, why were these Digimon appearing in the Human World in the first place? Did somebody call them here, or was it something else entirely, like a natural disaster? Ramon was so confused about how Digimon could have possibly appeared in the Human World that he almost forgot to ask Gabe something important.
”So….’ju mentioned being the second in command…. Or something…. Of DATS? What is that ‘xactly? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of ‘dose hombres. Are they like a secret police?” Ramon inquired.
Secrecy was really the only thing Ramon knew for sure about these people, otherwise he would have most likely heard something about them. After all, having monsters pop up in Japan would have made headlines worldwide, though it made sense that at least someone was on top of all the messes these things might have made. Ramon felt somewhat relieved that he could at least ask Gabe questions without having to watch his back, that UFADO thing didn’t make his first week any easier, that was for sure. There was one thing that Ramon was still somewhat unsure of, however. If Gabe was part of DATS, did they let Digimon fight other Digimon? How did that work out?
”Also, do…uh… ‘Digimon’, fight other Digimon or what? If I run into a Digimon on my own, how am I supposed to defend myself? Does DATS have some special police hotline?” Ramon asked.

Gabe reached his arms back, pressing the creases in his back into the rough bark marks on the tree trunk behind him, massaging the tension from his muscles and relieving himself of some stress. Thankfully he didn't have to fight that UFADO thing. That would have been a real bummer on his day.Though, he did now have another human to deal with that wanted some information thanks to UFADO (and a little bit of Gabe) being not so subtle about the existence of Digimon.
He glanced over at Ramon who had just taken a seat nearby. The boy was twiddling his fingers, was that earnest or nervousness? Gabe couldn't really tell. Either way, he waited patiently for any questions to be asked. Surprisingly, he did seem to be taking this whole revelation rather well. Most humans who haven't been submerged in this world before would likely have just ran away, but not this guy, he just took a seat and asked a question. This was either bravery or a severe case of exhibitionism.
Gabe felt his fingers sliding to his phone absentmindedly right as Ramon asked his first question. Luckily, Gabe had a knack for multitasking and as he typed out the 'Dude, where the hell are you?' message to his AWOL tamer, his ears caught every word that Ramon uttered.
Thinking for a moment about a reply, Gabe spoke, "Oh, DATS? I guess you could kind of say we're like secret police. We're not really supposed to be well known, seeing as how Digimon aren't supposed to be common knowledge. What we do is A: make sure that all Digimon related events in the human world go smoothly and B: deal with any threats to the human world by Digimon as fast as we can. That's really it. We defend the human world from the other world...my world." Gabe answered, going a little further into detail than he really wanted to.
Gabe was planning on letting Ramon stew on that for a while but he ended up asking another question. Well, Gabe was kind of expected to answer wasn't he?
"Well uh, yeah in some cases they fight. Just like humans, sometimes there are just disputes. There are evil Digimon with their own agendas, and there are good Digimon that protect others. Uh, if you run into a Digimon that's violent, your best bet is to run. Even in the Rookie state most Digimon are pretty durable against Human strikes. If you meet anything Champion plus, you'll be lucky to escape with your life. And no, we don't have a police hotline. Um, DATS has a tracker that tracks readings of Digimon entering the human world. And some Digimon just give off an aura of power when they enter the human world, which allows Digimon to track them if they're smart enough.

So, Gabe's advice just in case Ramon ever happened to encounter another digimon was to run. Well, that made the most sense of things Ramon could possibly do, but, what if he wasn't able to? Of course in most situations, Ramon would try not to let himself be coerced into that kind of situation, but if he absolutely couldn't run, was he just supposed to accept his fate as it was? Granted, Gabe was a Digimon, and he seemed perfectly able to, or, as well as Ramon could tell, fight other Digimon (or Gabe was at the very least a very confident person).
"Look, amigo, I get that runnin 'sprobly the best bet for anyone, but... what if I get trapt? What do I do then?" he asked, putting his thoughts into words.
As for DATS, as far as Ramon was concerned, they wouldn't be much help, not when he really needed them, anyways. If a wild Digimon just so happened to attack him without any of them around, what would he do to fight it off, or as Gabe suggested, get away from it? While Ramon appreciated Gabe's answers, he wished he could have had some more information as to how he could deal with Digimon himself. Then again, he didn't know how many DATS agents there were in Japan. For all he knew, maybe there were a decent amount of them, maybe enough to cover specific areas of the city?
"Wait a sec.... jus' how many of there are you DATS guys, anyhow? Am I safe here in Shibuya?" Ramon proposed, eager for some kind of answer.
At best, he intended to have some form of defending himself, now that he knew about Digimon and their general existence in the Human World. If Gabe wasn't able to help him, then he would have to play things as safely as possible to make sure he stayed away from danger. At this point in his life, between football, and school, Ramon had way too many things to take into account to be out of commission from a rogue killer Digimon attack. Or, there was also the chance that he could be killed from such an attack.
OOC: Sorry, running a tad low on juice at the moment, and I decided to go with a response post. Will try to have more content next time. : P

Judging by the look on Ramon's face, he was at least a tiny bit perturbed about this information. Though, Gabe could guess that Ramon might have been thinking about the possibilities of fighting a Digimon. If only he could explain what most Rookies looked like, aka: small dinosaurs that can only shoot a fireball the size of a baseball, he could probably reassure the guy a little more. Though he should probably leave out that most Mega leveled Digimon are razor fanged, claw bearing, laser shooting, gods of combat. Yeah...he should probably leave that out.
Gabe's suspicions were proven true when Ramon asked his first question. To be honest, it was a pretty good question, though he was probably worrying a little too much.
"Man, one on one, if you're cornered, you can probably find a way to get around a Rookie. Most Rookies aren't strong enough to completely overpower a human of..adequate strength. Like..they could kill a human, but you could also push past them if you tried hard enough and didn't get a face full of fireball in the process. Your only issue is if you come across anything Champion and above..or if you meet up with more than one. If that happens then well...well a human doesn't have much else to do other than hope for some luck or something." he answered, his voice slowing near the end.
Gabe's phone began to vibrate. Once again removing it from his pocket, he scanned the screen. Darian's reply was relieving to say the least. He was safe and apparently close by, only a couple of streets away in some karaoke bar. Well, Gabe had his next destination. Texting the reply, 'be there soon', Gabe pocketed his phone again right as Ramon asked his next question. He had to think about that one. In all reality, DATS had been going through a slow phase. Like, they had a lot of secretaries and desk workers, but their field agents were struggling for activity.
"You're fine in Shibuya. If DATS isn't dealing with a rogue Digimon, then most of the time another tamer is. There's hundreds of tamers living in this city to be honest. None of them are really ever in the mood to see their town destroyed. You'd be surprised how well a new tamer can defend a city block." Gabe explained, recalling the time that Darian and himself defended a burning school against a group of Digimon way back when Gabe was only a champion.
He couldn't tell if Ramon was any bit satisfied with these answers, but the least he could do was try. He was just hoping that he wouldn't ask him to show him anything. Rookie, he could probably do if the coast was clear, anything else, well, either Ramon would have to go to the Digital World to see that, or become a terrorist or something.
Either or would work.

Ramon was slightly alleviated with some of Gabe's responses, though in turn he gained some more questions regarding these new matters. He was glad to know that what was called a "Rookie" level Digimon, could at least be escaped from. So that UFADO creature from earlier was a Rookie level, then? Ramon assumed that it couldn't have been this "Champion" form Gabe mentioned, that thing sounded like big trouble, something Ramon probably wouldn't ever want to encounter if he could help it. Although, if he had already made the unpleasant acquaintance of one creepy looking Rookie, who was to say Champions couldn't be found just as easily? Plus, this was only his first week in Japan! Who knew how quickly one might show up!
A little frustrated, Ramon laid down on the grass, and felt the smooth texture on his legs and arms. It felt calming, in a way. That and not being in any immediate danger was nice. However, some of Gabe's comments left Ramon a little bit puzzled, what did he mean by tamers? Was a tamer someone who worked in DATS or with Digimon in general, like a lion tamer of sorts? Ramon was beginning to find himself a little more interested in the matter, and thought to bring it up with Gabe, though he wracked his brain for more potential questions.
”So…. what’s this… tamer, thing, ‘jhu keep bringing up, hermano? They other members of this DATS organization?” he inquired.
If tamer implied what he felt it did, then perhaps there could be a way for Ramon to adequately defend himself after all. From what Gabe had said, he made it sound like there were a lot of other tamers around. If that was the case, surely obtaining his own Digimon couldn’t be too complicated, right? As Ramon messed around with the notion of even being around one of those creatures, who could look even more horrid than the thing that attacked them, he noticed Gabe’s phone. He’d been pulling it out every now and then, though the way Ramon was facing, he couldn’t tell what he was doing.
Maybe he was checking an app, or responding to texts, but either way, Ramon couldn’t help but pull out a jab, now that UFADO had left.
”Ah, you texting chur girlfriend on the side, eh?” Ramon said, elbowing Gabe on the arm playfully.

Gabe could see a small amount of frustration cross Ramon's face. He could tell due to the fact that he had seen almost the exact same look, thousands of times, coming from Darian. As Ramon laid down on the grass, Gabe began to ponder the situation. It was actually rare that a human with no prior knowledge of the Digital World, with no Digivice to themselves or any hint of the chance of becoming a Digidestined in the near future, would ever become this entwined in this type of Digital affair.
For Ramon to have met two Digimon in one day sans any sort of prior Digital awareness, well, that had to be a record of some kind. If Gabe was a believer in any type of fate or destiny, he would probably accredit Ramon's chances of meeting two Digimon to that. In Gabe's mind though, the boy was just unlucky. Glancing over at the curious Ramon, Gabe was wondering just what was going through his mind. Fortunately, this was answered with the question about what exactly tamers were. Well that was an easy one to answer.
"Tamers are humans that are chosen to partner up with Digimon to form a pair. Like, my tamer's name is Darian. Nice guy, a little on the erratic side, but he's cool, you should meet him one day." Gabe explained, adding in the bit about Darian at the end, falsifying much of the truth with a bit of his own exaggerated description.
"Their not just members of DATS by the way. Darian and I have been a duo for around five years now. We've only been a part of DATS for maybe two of those years."
Throughout his explanations, Gabe found himself wondering just what situation Darian had got himself in to that would keep him from heading to the park right away. It was then that Ramon made his remark about texting his girlfriend. Gabe couldn't help but laugh at the remark, there was no way that that one wasn't going to get back to Darian eventually.
"Hehe, girlfriend? Nah! Just Darian. Was out lookin' for him. Finally replied to my messages."

Ramon's right eyebrow shot up as Gabe confirmed his theory, so... it WAS possible for humans to become friendly with Digimon. Or, in the case of Gabe and his tamer Darian, fight hostile Digimon. Well, this just opened up an entirely new door of opportunities for himself! Ramon's face took on a peculiar look as he began wondering of all the different kinds of Digimon that must exist in the world, heck, he didn't even know what Gabe looked like, though he was beginning to feel somewhat curious.
Ramon stood up from his spot in the grass and began to pace somewhat excitedly; was it possible for him to become a tamer as well? Maybe if he could be the best tamer in the world AND the best soccer player in the world, he would be on a pedestal all his own! From where he was sitting, Gabe wouldn't have too much of a hard time seeing a very fiery look on Ramon's face. It was decided right there, Ramon was going to be a tamer, and a damn good one if he had anything to say about it. Although there was the issue of what other Digimon could look like, as well. If Ramon was partnered up with something that looked like UFADO, he wouldn't be too happy about that.
"Ahh... so, I could be a tamer then? Well, that simplifies 'tings a bit! Why run from an enemy Digimon when I could jus' get my own an' fight? Uh, 'less it was stronger than my own, o' course." Ramon said, giving Gabe an excited grin.
They very thought of controlling his own powerful creature like Gabe was a very interesting prospect, which had at this point began to grip Ramon's thoughts tightly like a boa constrictor. In his sights, Ramon now had a new goal to work toward, strengthening himself and his potential partner through any means necessary! Of course, that was easier said than done. Ramon wasn't necessarily known for being very close with animals, and he had no idea how to even obtain his own Digimon.
The fire in his eyes died down a little as he focused on what he could do in order start checking goals off of his mental list. Although... Gabe had mentioned DATS quite a bit, as well as his partner Darian being a high up member. Was it possible that they would recruit new tamers? If Ramon joined up with them, could they give him the tools he needed in order to climb the ladder to reach the top?
"Alright, Gabe, so I got another question for 'chu. I wanna become one of these tamers... if I'm gonna live here in Jap'on, I gotta be able to defend myself, eh? Can DATS help me out wit' that at all, or am I on my own?" he inquired, curious as to whether or not Gabe, or DATS for that matter, could help him get started on his own path.

Gabe was beginning to get a little worried by whatever ideas may have been popping up in this kid's head. The way his eyebrow shot up at the sound of what he had just said. He was hoping that he wasn't going to believe that he could just walk up to a Digimon off the street, spawn a Digivice, and suddenly the two of them were going to be best pals for life. That um, that definitely wasn't how it worked. Yeah, not at all.
Judging by the excited pace of the boy's footsteps and the heavier breathing coming from his direction, that may or may not had been his plan. Either that or he just thought about getting iced cream and hamburgers. That definitely always made Gabe happy. Taking a look at Ramon's face, Gabe could see the fire in his eyes. Looks like Gabe's suspicions were confirmed correct, oh no, what has he created?
"Um, yeah I guess you could be a tamer. But um, it's not like you can buy a Digivice from Wal-Mart..." Gabe tried to explain.
What was it with humans and the chance to own and be under control some sort of power? It's like they had this complex towards having the ability to overpower something if they had the chance to. Was strength really that important to humans? Like, Gabe enjoyed getting stronger, but it didn't really possess him. Was that not normal? Should he be craving more strength?
Ramon's next question was a little more explicit, though he didn't really know how to answer how to become a tamer. Though the DATS question he could probably answer,
"Well like, DATS can help you if you know of any Digimon disturbances, otherwise they don't really offer personal protection. They don't have a hotline to call, just a wide array of trackers throughout the city in order to keep track of all Digimon in the area. Um, I'm not sure if I can give you any help on becoming a Tamer though. It's not really the type of thing you just uh....become. Sorry." He stated, hoping not to ruin his mood too badly.
