"Interesting. So your digimon appeared in the human world. I had to dragged here to meet Strabimon, and even that was like fifteen minutes ago. But you still haven`t told me why you two keep fighting, and that is definetly something I`m interested in. Besides, we may just get to reason here." Divo commented
Strabimon looked up. "You know, most of the times humans keep their digimon on rookie form. Why would they do that? Because there is no need for them to be anyy stronger until it`s time to fight. If you haven`t evolved it`s because you didn`t need to. That means your partner kept you safe all this time, which means he does care about you. He cares a lot. Look at me. I lived a life of danger and even I am only at rookie stage. I just met Divo, so he definetly didn`t care about me until today, he didn`t I even existed! But I`m sure that if he did had known me, he would have kept me safe too."

"He wants me to work out! Look at me! I'm fine!" He said, motioning to his body. To the average human he would've looked fine, but if perceptive enough Divo would note his use of dark colors in his clothes, not to mention they were slightly bigger than a shirt his size would be. "And I can outrun you and your new partner any day of the week." He bragged.
"But..." MetalKoromon began. "I'm not IN rookie form. I'm still a baby. When something bad happens to him, even if I Digivolve, I won't be able to help. He'll just be stuck in trouble and someone else will bail him out... not to mention he doesn't LISTEN to me in this form..."

"That might not be what "work out" means for him. You`re forgetting you`re human and he is a digimon. Besides you and me we both seem to have the same problem: too skinny. That shirt of yours is a little bigger than one would suppose. Besides, almost anyone can outrun me. As for Strabimon, I`m not sure you could..." Divo replied
"Haven`t you heard? You`re not in rookie form because there was no need for that. Because your partner took care of you well enought for make it unnecessary. And he does listen to you, yet he disgrees. I listened to one, no, several fights back there: they`re mainly insults. You have to dicuss things more properly and with less subjective words or you won't get anywhere." Strabimon explained.

"Skinny? ...Yeah, skinny..." He chuckled. "And I'll have you know I was the best baseball player in the state! I took my School to the championship and back again!" The illusion provided by his clothing hid the fact he was, in fact, overweight. He, his partner, and his family were the only few who knew this thanks to his reluctancy to come clean.
MetalKoromon sighed. "But look at me! I'm puny! He could accidentally crush me in his sleep! He could toss me around! He could do all sorts of things to me now that he couldn't if I were In-Training!"

Fred seemed to get angry at Divo for his comment. "Sorry. Didn't mean to offend. I am sure you did great there. I'm just trying to say, maybe try to be humbler. See your faults your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, since nobody is perfect except for God." Divo excused himself.
"You see? More proof that he cares about you. He indeed could have done all of those things, but he didn't. That shows he cares, he worries about and is carefull enought to avoid doing any such things to you. When the time comes you will evolve. Until that day comes, accept that there is no need. Enjoy a peacefull existance while you can take it, because the oppurtunity won't last, I know it from experience." Strabimon continued.
It seemed both Divo and Strabimon would have a hard task ahead of them.

Taking a deep breath, MetalKoromon tries a different approach. "OK, imagine you and your partner are out somewhere and he wants to do something foolish, or dangerous. You can EASILY stop him because you're big enough for him to have to struggle to get through you. But look at me. I can hardly cling to his pant leg, let alone slow him down. I've only known him a day but looking at the way he acts and speaks and reacts tells me he'll need someone to fight for him. He just runs away. He's confronted by a larger human, he begins running, confronted with a challenge he doesn't want to do he leaves, he's given homework when he wants to play games guess which one he chooses. If I were a rookie, I would be able to get him to listen to me. He would look at what I want him to look at."

Strabimon took a moment to consider Metalkoromon's words. "If Divo ever tries something foolish or dangerous I'll trust him to know what he's doing. You can't control your partner. Being partners brings with it a lifetime of accepting each other and improving yourself. Let me put it this way: how far are you willing to go to force your partner to do something he doesn't want to do? Would you hurt him? To prevent him from taking the chance of getting hurt AND learning from his mistakes? If he wants to run, then teach him courage: stand your ground with this form. A weak being against the strong. That's the kind of thing that ends up triggering the digivolution, not being in a constant fight with your partner. Trust him and yourself."
(OOC: what happened to Fred's part?)

((I didn't type it, actually I couldn't think of what to do about it.)) MetalKoromon nodded. "I... I suppose you're right. If I want him to be a fighter, he must learn what it takes, even if it's by example... and Once I'm a rookie, then we can start taking more advanced steps." It twitched its tail excitedly. "He needs to develop some good habits anyway..."
Fred didn't seem to be listening, instead looking back where they came from. "I wonder what they're doing...?" He'd ask once in a while before having to refocus.

"That's the spirit!" Strabimon simply said.
"I don't know what they're doing, but I'm sure they're doing just fine. I mean..." Divo began to say.
"You got cash?" someone interrupted him
"Excuse me?"
Divo turned and saw ahead of them a rabbit like "digimon". It was red and blue. Also it was a wearing a mask.
"You...Got...Cash?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Oh forget it, just take of the clothes."
"You have to be joking..."
The digimon began to shine and in a moment a completly different digimon stood in front of them. It seemed to be a dinossaur wearing a native american outfit. And it was much bigger than the two humans.
"No, this isn't a joke. This is a robbery." the dinossaur said, angry.
(OOC: Rabbit: Elecmon. Dinossaur: Allomon)

"...Well, s***." Fred said, confronted. Thoughts raced through his head, everything from punching the massive monster in the location the testicles would usually be to doing as the creature ordered, to trying to stall it. Most of the scenarios he saw ended with him being either killed, beaten, or worse. "...Do you think I could outrun that?" He whispered to his companion.
Meanwhile, MetalKoromon was on his way back to the meeting point, happy with himself once more. "So, how come you assume so much of this human? You JUST met him. I mean, at least me and my tamer has one of those weird... what did you all it? Destiny Link? ...And how did you know all this from just looking at us anyway?"

Divo tried to think what was the best approach to the problem. Fred´s proposal was a bit shelfish, if not simply mad. But it might work, if handled well. He turned to Fred "Fred, try. Run as fast as you can and get Strabimon and Metalkoromon. I`ll run the other way, and keep it occupied. Got me? Now go!" Divo proposed, just before taking off to his left. "Hey you! Come here! Or are those two legs of yours still to short to keep pace?" This seemed to angry the dinossaur, who immediatly began to chase Divo, growling angrily. Divo really hoped the plan worked.
Strabimon walked besides MetalKoromon. His comment made Strabimon lower his head in shame. "I...Let`s just say it`s experience, Ok? Not good experience, just experience. Besides, I didn`t really just met him. He just met me, but I have been...following him for a while now. He is inspiring!" Strabimon said, raising his head again after this last commentary.

Fred began dashing away, running towards the meeting place as fast as he could, showing off that, yes, he was a good runner. "Hey! Hey!" He shouted to the two digimon, panting as he got next to them. "Divo, crazy guy, mugging, wants us to take off our clothes... Help!" He pointed to where he once was, hoping the two would do their jobs.

Out of nowhere, Fred appeared. The fact that Divo wasn`t with him worried Strabimon, but the boy`s words left him puzzled. "Hey, hey, calm down. What`s going on? Where`s Divo? What crazy guy?" He asked, trying to make some sense of things.
Divo kept running like there was no tomorrow, but the dinossaur wasn`t slow either. "If I turn to the city, they may engage the dinossaur, but part of the city may get destroyed. What should I do?" Divo asked himself. Finnaly, he decided he had no choice but to run towards the city, since his life depended on it.
(OOC: Sorry about the short post, but there wasn`t much to work from)

He took a deep breath. "Divo and I got jumped by this rabbit-looking thingy and demanded we gave him all of our money, when we refused he turned into this horrible dinosaur creature and told us to undress or he'd kill us. So we began running, I went to find you two, he went to distract him, we need to go NOW or you'll be out a tamer!"
MetalKoromon gasped, immediately returning to his tamer's side. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you, or touch you? How many fingers am I holdin- oh wait. How come you ran away, you really should have stood and fought! I don't care how big he was you need to learn to fight! Come on, we're going to kick that guy's ass." And like that MetalKoromon was bounding his way into the distance to try and find Allomon.
"...What did you do to him?" The tamer asked, mystified in the mon's change of attitude.

"We talked. With reason. Now, let`s go. If I know Divo he will try every possibility before allowing anyone to get hurt, but I`m afraid he won`t find any. So he probably went for the city, seeking reenforcements." Strabimon quickly, before jumping high. As he fell a nice distance away, he began running, like only a digimon runs, to find Divo and confront Allomon. His days of crime were over. And soon, Allomon`s too.
Divo reached the city without a scratch, but the Allomon wasn`t done chasing. Some of inhabitants of the city began to leave their homes, to see what was going on. Unlike what Divo expected no sort of "police force" appeared. Was he done for?
"I got ya." The dinossauro stated. "Get those clothes off now, before I take you off them."
