One month is a short time, and honestly, he likes the result he's getting. To think of it, it's been five years since he last touched martial arts, isn't it? Then again, back then, it cannot be called real martial art training as it's just practice punching and basic posture lesson... and that's just for several weeks due to... OK, he should stop right there before he starting to remember something quite unpleasant. Still, for some reason, after the meeting with his dark counterpart, Ryouta firsthandedly saw him changes to his biomerge form... and honestly, the dark counterpart himself said their biomerge is unlike other's biomerge, it's flipped out biomerge, akin to spirits evolution.
Now, once that's clear, then... somehow he saw that even that guy have trouble in controlling the form... That's why, he thinks, he should steal a headstart after seeing that. He trained harder than before, readying himself for that moment. Still, what's the chance that he's training correctly? He really wanted to hire a private instructor, or at least being instructed by someone who is good at fighting and experienced. Karate is fine and all, and he have no desire to stop from it. He's happy about it. But...
Something inside his heart tells it's not enough. Dracomon needs more experience, but he himself also need experience at it, too. Maybe one day he'll see if there is a Digimon Dojo that will accept human, but there are no time for that currently, because afterall, he's in his second trimester. School entrance exam and stuffs like that aside, he's really busy with all stuffs concerning tests and whatnots.
"Whelp, dividing the two is really hard, isn't it, Dracomon?" he asked the dragon which head currently out of his backpack, pretending to be a doll. It's actually one of Ryouta's training, too, but lately, his partner doesn't weight that much anymore...
"Yeah, it's hard, but I know you can do it, Aniki!" the dragon naively commented.
"Heh, just the thing I need... But now... I really need someone to train me, otherwise, I think I might got too injured in my self-training..."

Tatsuya whistled a song as he slowly moved towards his usual training dojo. It had been almost four days since his last training session, and he wanted to feel the burn, so the male quickly decided that it was just about time to get on the move and work out for a while, as well as training for his future examinations. Unlike the other times he had gone, this time he didn't leave the purple furball that was his partner at home.
The Digimon had insisted that he wanted to see how strong was Tatsuya compared to the average human, despite the boy insisted that all of his peers were just as good as he was, since they were all of the same rank. This argument didn't quell the Digimon's curiosity, of course, so in the end Tatsuya packed him along his Gi and black belt. The In-Training had stated that they smelled good, so he had no reason to also bring his backpack. With a mischievous smile, he didn't tell him how bad they would smell later.
He had just turned a few corners, his mind already set in the imminent exercise, when he distinguished a familiar figure walking in his same direction, a few metres ahead. On his backpack, a small, dragon-like head popped, beggining to talk to his Tamer, although they both did their best to camouflage that act. Ryouta... true! He had told him that he'd eventually return to martial arts... perhaps, that was their chance to train together.
-Oi! Ryouta! G'afternoon! -the teen shouted in Japanese, increasing his pace slightly in order to catch up to his friend. As soon as he got there, he saw that he also had a sports bag, and then asked him a question, curious. -Huh? You're going to the dojo nearby? 'Cause I was also going to improve my skills a little... -he confessed, looking at the corner they'd have to take to get there.

"Oi!" he greeted back, waving at the older teen. Dracomon beamed at Tatsuya, happy that he saw a rather familiar face. Tatsuya seem lived nearby, maybe... he believed that encountering the black haired college student is not a small chance. Maybe they're coming to the same dojo, too? With his partner approaching the older teen, Dracomon shuffled in the bag, asking to be let out. Ryouta chuckled and complied, putting the green child dragon on the ground.
"Tats, hi!" the dragon greeted, looking happy.
"Well, I'm going to the dojo, yeah... I started to take karate, just as you suggested, and I'm currently an orange belt, so yeah, still far away, but still... it was fun! I guess in a sense I'm more built for sparring rather than just mindless fighting," he joked, referring to his usual brawl when there's bullying nearby. "Still, I think I'm severely lacking... Why don't we talk while we walk to the dojo?" he suggested.
And after putting back the dragon to his backpack again, the black haired boy started to walk together with the older one.
"So... uh, I'm thinking... remember that fight with my dark counterpart? At the end, even when his Groundramon defeated, he still able to get up one stage and even goes to biomerge form... and looking at that, I'm thinking... that Brakedramon biomerge must be really taxing to the body... See, I'm bulking up myself to anticipate that kind of level, but... well, let's say that I got no personal trainer, so I'm unsure. I haven't gone to the gym, and I don't really know how the system works, but most of all, I'm thinking that I need to deepen my level in martial arts... who know what that psycho got up on his sleeves?"

Tatsuya greeted the Tamer and Digimon with a smile. Inside of his sports bag, Dorimon jostled as well, signaling that he wanted to see Dracomon and Ryouta as well, so he partially opened the zipper to allow a white snout and tiny paws to get out of their confinement. -Hi! How's evewything? -the In-Training asked, wagging his tail, although it couldn't be seen due to it being inside the bag.
So it seemed that his supositions were true after all: Ryouta had taken martial arts again, karate to be more exact, being an orange belt already. That was very good for a short time, the male thought. As the younger teen said that they should talk while walking to the dojo, Tatsuya nodded by all answers. He was already running late because he had been to lazy to do his bag and then he couldn't find his Gi... obviously, with Dorimon laughing at it all the time as he told him to shut his trap.
Ryouta then told him the reason why he had decided to take on martial arts again. It seemed to have something to do to be ready for the Biomerge... that legendary power that allowed Tamer and Digimon to become a Super Mega Digimon. There wasn't any clue on how it was unlocked, nor it was sure to even exist... but it did, indeed. It was very real, and probably the only way for a Digimon partner to reach its maximum potential. However, it was also a dangerous procedure, for it could go wrong very easily, resulting in a failed fusion... which wasn't a sight to behold, of course. Nobody wants a crazy, rampaging Super Mega unleashing its destructive power next to them.
-Well... If I ever reach that power level with Dorumon, I guess having Karate also gives a nifty advantage on hand-to-hand combat, don't you think? Also... it's very bad to train on your own, as far as any martial art is concerned. You'd end up getting hurt, or in the best case, with the wrong technique... Now that I think, about it, I could teach you the basics, since I'm almost a Sandan, and I think I'd be already allowed to -the teen thought out loud, offering Ryouta his help.

"We're all fine, Dorimon!" Ryouta answered, but quickly cut by his overexcited partner. "Aniki just got a ton stronger lately! He's been training hard, so it's been all great on his part! Still, I hoped that he took a bit more rest, though. Lately, he's just training and training... Sure that make his body strong, but... I'm worried."
"Well, there you have it," Ryouta said, chuckling slightly. "This is where I'm thinking to hire a personal trainer, but maaan, those are expensive... honestly, I don't know what to do. I want to get stronger, get ready for that level altogether, but... gyms and all, I don't think I'll have any for allowance... sure, I can cook bento back home, but not going to decrease my sleep time just to do that unless it's my turn for breakfast and bento day."
Apparently the much older teen offered him a personal training in martial arts, agreeing that it'll be nifty. Ryouta grinned liking the prospect already.
"Will take your offer immediately, then. I need someone who's well versed in this!"

(OOC: I'm buttin' in!)
[ENTER]
Ryoko parked her motorbike at a parking lot nearby a training dojo. She wore a blue-and-orange sports bra, which exposed her six-packed abs and curvy waist, as well as some of her cleavage and bare shoulders, with toned-built arms. She also wore black-and-blue training pants, and white sneakers. Beside her was Ryusei in his Holosuit, wearing black sleeveless shirt, black training pants, and white sneakers. They brought their own sports bag, a blue-and-orange for Ryoko, and magenta-and-black for Ryusei. Each of the bags contained Gi and black belts.
They were going to a training dojo for martial arts training, to hone their skills and to anticipate the upcoming V-Cinema project: Kamen Rider Blade: The Next Fifteen's. Due to Koichi Sakamoto taking the helm for the V-Cinema, Ryoko had to practice more martial arts for its potential intense battle scene. Plus, she was asked by Sakamoto to look for martial artists for suit actor or extra position. At the project, she got the role of Ryoko Tachibana, the movie's deuteragonist, and the human identity of the new Kamen Rider Garren. She was very excited how she could pull it off.
There, she saw a boy with... muscles. He looked young for those muscles. Ryoko giggled that he could be an instant flirt target for ladies, especially with sexy body. But the truth was, she wasn't interested in boys, even the beefiest one. Even if she had to look for one, she preferred effeminate ones, as she liked... feminine people more, mostly girls. Oh, ant there's Tatsuya with the boy.
"Yo, Tacchan!" Ryoko waved at Tatsuya.
"Yo!" Ryusei waved as well. "Wuzzap!"
"Fancy meetin' ya here, Tacchan! Goin' to train too? Wai dun we go together, then?" Ryoko asked. "By 'da way, is 'tis hunky boy yo' friend?"
Oh, did she just forgot her intention to ask them to be an extra in the V-Cinema? N she wanted to talk about Nanami, too.

Tatsuya chuckled when Ryouta told him that he would accept his offer, calling him something similar to a "personal trainer". The teen then smirked at him. -Nope, man. I won't go easy on you, just so you know! If you want to polish your technique, we'll have to get you used to the pressure you'll feel in the spur of the moment. If we manage to do it right, your reflexes will increase a lot, and trust me, the next time a football is flying towards your head, you'll thank me -he joked, refering to what had happened in the park the day he had met Skylar... and made Nanami angry.
-Still, I'll also improve that way... though I'll also spar on my own against other Nidan sometimes, so I won't always be at your disposition... Damn, we'll have to make a schedule or anything like that -he joked, but was then surprised by another voice coming from one of the side streets. Since she was calling him by her usual nickname for him, the teen already knew who was addressing him.
-Yo, Tacchan! -a busty, tomboyish girl called out, waving at them. The teen half smiled and returned the wave with his usual friendly gaze. As Ryoko approached, the young man greeted the celebrity with a smile. It was funny how many people seemed to know her, yet he still hadn't heard anything about her before coming to Shibuya... it was just as his brother said: he was oblivious to everything he didn't find interesting. However, after meeting her a couple times, now he did have a motive to talk to her.
-Yo, Ryocchan! -he said, mimicking her nickname with a mischievous grin. As always, Ryusei was with her. Feeling the SpaceAgumon made Dorimon jostle in his bag once more, although it was holosuited. Then, the busty redhead asked him who his friend was.
Tatsuya smiled, and looked at Ryouta.
-Oh, this guy? He's Ryouta Noguchi... by the way, Ryouta's first name. Can't get used to this thing japanese people do of saying the surnames first... beats me -he complained, while properly introducing him. -Well, he's a good friend of mine, and we were making a deal of training together... But I'd no idea you also practiced martial arts! It seems I just found another sparring patner... -he commented, looking at the woman with his indigo eyes.

OOC: To make it a bit easier to reply, there are no turn of posting in this thread =w=b
"Yeah, yeah, that much I know. Geez, no mercy already at the start? Well, probably I'll be fine... I'm too used to streetfights and such--wait, what, football to the head? Are you going to shoot one at me, here!?" he asked, a bit perplexed at the teen's comment. "But it's fine. I'm mostly free if not for going to Digital World, got swamped in tests or..."
He's not sure to talk about his love life or not, and plus, it's seem to be sort of touchy subject. Hence, he quickly changed the words he's about to say.
"...or taking care of my sisters when Ren is gone for his electronic club, yeah. Home with just two of them is... well, worrysome, but it can't be helped. Our parents kind of swamped with jobs and all, and they rarely come home on time. Luckily, apparently my mother said she's going to decrease her part times now that we're quite stable."
And then, someone called Tatsuya. Ryouta looked at that direction, and... well, that's some daring shirt. Older girls aren't his type, totally aren't, but when someone expose those... sorry, let's not talk about that... a boy in process of puberty like Ryouta would get flustered. The boy quickly tried to look somewhere else... Not her body, not her body, just look at her face dammit! You got girlfriend already, Noguchi Ryouta! Well, not like huge bust is your type anyway. he reminded himself mentally.
Tatsuya introduced him after the woman called him 'hunky boy'... Well, it's true that he's really ripped, but... he somehow felt a bit uneasy with that kind of nick.
"Yeah, Noguchi Ryouta, uh... nice to meet you...?"
It's obvious that the boy have no idea who she is. Never really watched TV, maybe?

Well, Tatsuya greeted her and returned with the nickname he made up based on her own. That would be funny. Oh, and the beefy boy was indeed Tatsuya's friend, named Ryouta Noguchi. He seemed attractive in general, so maybe the beefcake fest in dojo? Who knows.
"Nice ta meetcha, Ryouta! I'm Ryoko Satsuma, 'n 'tis is Ryusei." Ryoko introduced herself and Ryusei.
"Ossu! I'm Ryusei. Nice ta meetcha!"
"Well, so all beefcakes gather, eh?" Ryoko remarked, counting herself as "the beefcake". Granted, she had defined muscles, despite she retained her slim body. "So yeah, I've been practicin' martial arts since... 5? But nevertheless, I wanna practice moar to anticipate da upcomin' film. 'Cuz of Koichi Sakamoto directin' it, I've to improvise ma skill sumhow. Y'know, his works involves alot of wire jumps 'n huge pyrotechnics called "Kalishplosions", so I better train ma reflex n skills, so I can keep up with evrythin' he's gonna throw at da scene."
Ryoko then remembered about Nanami. She was Tatsuya's boyfriend and it would be fun to tell him about her encounter.
"'Gez wut Tacchan? I met yo' girlfriend 'n bro! Looks like they've made sum trouble on ya, eh?" Ryoko said.
"Oh, bai da way, Onee-chan, how bout lookin' for suit actors 'n stuff?" Ryusei asked, reminding Ryoko of her supposed job: to look for talents.

Tatsuya smiled widely when Ryoko said that she had been practicing martial arts since she was five. That meant she had a greater deal of experience that him, and that she would probably be more than capable of handling him in a one on one sparring match, which made him think that it could be a nice way of improving his skills. As the celebrity started talking about her job and why she was going to the dojo, the young man scratched the back of his head.
-Wow, man, an actress's life is quite stressful, ain't it? I don't think I could ever put up with someone telling me what to do, let alone order me to walk in a certain way or telling me to adjust my expression for them to record it... Nah, too troublesome, Ryocchan, but I'd say it suits you a lot. Also, since you were five? Man, I wish I had begun so early in my life... say, would it hurt if you sparred with me sometimes? Gotta train for my exams, and that way we can pull off a sort of "mini-dojo", all of us together -the teen spoke, looking at Ryouta and then directing his gaze once more to the busty woman.
However, life sure had a great surprise stored for the young adult, although he still didn't know it. When Ryoko seemed to remember something important, he looked at her as if telling her to say it out loud, and that she did. -Gez wut Tacchan? I met yo' girlfriend 'n bro! Looks like they've made sum trouble on ya, eh? -the red-head told him.
Tatsuya then smiled at the mention of his girlfriend, his brain still processing the full sentence as he began answering her statement. -Oh, so you met Nami? She does admire you a lot... Good for her! I've never had any sort of idol myself. Of course she didn't make any trouble, unless we count that time I had to go to save her from an Etemon... -it was then when his mind finished the assimilation of the entire phrase.
-Ryuu? Don't think so. He's currently in Jamaica, and my surname is quite common around here... you sure you're not mistaken with someone else? -he said, slightly stranged, but calm either way. He didn't have any reasons to worry about: even if his brother had come to Shibuya, which was most likely impossible due to the distance that separated their locations, he knew how to take care of himself.

"Hey, nice to you, too! Beefcake and similar name much?" Ryouta joked. Despite the obviously human appearance of Ryuusei, Dracomon does not goes back into hiding, which strangely make Ryouta thinks one of them could probably be a Digimon... but as for Ryoko, most likely she's the tamer instead... especially when she said she've been training since five years old... Assuming the girl's physical appearance... maybe late teen to early twenties?
"Eh? Wait a minute? What kind of movie did you play, Ryoko-san?" somehow, for this girl, it'll be somehow quite disrespectful to call her just 'Ryoko', right? There's seem to be a bit... well, dunno, awkwardness if not anything else, about addressing the woman so familiarly. Then again, it can be mistaken as rude...
"Suit actor...?" somehow, it's obvious that he's interested, but... "...Say, do you happened to be talking about Kamen Rider somehow?"
Also, another thing that surprises him, although not so much because Mana already told her beforehand... Tatsuya got a girlfriend.
"...No.way. A girlfriend? You? Like... not playin' around girlfriend? The stable type? Wow!?" it's full of teasing tone, but obviously done in nice way.

Tatsuya mentioned Nanami and her ordeal against an Etemon. It seems that his relationship with her was fine.
"Yea, Nami-chan's realleh nice cutie, if ya ask me. She's got sum good voices! I can't wait to take her for a duet or two with me sumday." Ryoko commented. "N rememba not to make her jealous, or else I'mma tell ya! I got her number!" Ryoko said half-joked with a chuckle.
And the older teen mentioned about Ryuu. Ryoko remembered the white-haired guy in the filming of Kamen Rider Drive in Cat Street. His name was Ryuu, she could remember it right.
"Yea, I meet dat white-haired dude in Kamen Rider Drive filming, n his name is... Ryuu or sumthin'. He's a bit abrupt, but actualleh he's a nice guy, if ya ask me." Ryoko recalled her first meeting with Ryuu.
Ryouta guessed that Ryoko was in Kamen Rider filming. And boy, he was right. The agency was looking for extra or suit actors for KR Blade V-Cinema, and looks like Ryouta was the promising one. Tatsuya would've be nice prospect, if only he had been interested in it. And so, let's get straight to the point.
"Yea, Ryouta. Currentleh I'm in filmin' for Kamen Rider Drive, playin' as a big baddie called Nerve Roidmude. But we're lookin' for casts 'n extras in Kamen Rider Blade V-Cinema, which I got da role in as well. I'm playin' as da new Kamen Rider Garren, 'n currentleh we're lookin' for suit actors."
It seemed that Ryouta was interested. So, he could be in the project, somehow?
"Oh so y'wanna be in it? I 'gez I can tell Sakamoto-sensei 'bout it after we're finished with training in dojo. Whether y'll be recruited or not, it's his to call da shots. If ya wanna know wut role y're in, ya can ask him." Ryoko said.
Ryusei noticed a Dracomon with the ripped boy, and he gawked, "So y'got a Digimon too?"

When the conversation shifted to Nanami, Tatsuya and Ryoko started speaking about her. The busty tomboy, after telling him that she had met her before, teased him a little. -Yea, Nami-chan's realleh nice cutie, if ya ask me. She's got sum good voices! I can't wait to take her for a duet or two with me sumday. N rememba not to make her jealous, or else I'mma tell ya! I got her number! -she said, with Tatsuya letting out a chuckle as he half-grinned.
-Cute, nice, and a good voice. That's my Nami alright! -he stated, his half-smile turning into a complete one. -Heh, thing is we talked 'bout that when we started dating, since I tend to speak to everyone I come across, and I don't plan on stopping. Now, there shouldn't be any problems about it, but when it comes to girls, I do the same... however, Nami knows that I love her. I wouldn't kiss another girl while I'm going out with her, so don't worry about the jealousy thing, Ryocchan -the teen finished, as Ryouta asked him something about it.
-...No.way. A girlfriend? You? Like... not playin' around girlfriend? The stable type? Wow!? -Ryouta inquired, with Tatsuya answering her after a second. -Yeah! I wasn't planning on going out with anyone, but... she was someone I'd met a long time ago. The thing is, I think we sort of had a crush on each other, but due to my father's job I had to leave without even saying goodbye. Then, I forgot everything about her... and found her again. Of course, I earned myself a good slap for not being able to remember her! -he laughed after he explained the entire thing to his friend.
-Doesn't suit me, right? I don't think I'm the kind of guy that's good for a stable relationship, but I'm going to try for her... Damn, that responsible speech isn't made for me -he acknowledged, scratching the back of his head. It was then when he remembered about what Ryoko had said about Ryuu.
-Yea, I meet dat white-haired dude in Kamen Rider Drive filming, n his name is... Ryuu or sumthin'. He's a bit abrupt, but actualleh he's a nice guy, if ya ask me -the redhead told Tatsuya, making him even more confused. Nah, she couldn't be right. -Well, that sounds like him, but he is currently in Jamaica. Either way, if he had gone missing, mom or dad would've called -he guessed, not realizing that he hadn't turned the computer on for an entire week and, if they had to talk to him, they'd do it via Skype.

"Yeah, I'm interested, but the thing is, I don't think I'm that fit enough to be the suit actor... and plus, I'll need more training in acting than anything. I never really watched Kamen Rider again since... well, that's not something I want to talk about, but yeah... I have a promise with someone that I'll definitely try to be one, either the actor or the suit actor, even just for one episode," Ryouta answered. "...Also, sorry, but... if you don't mind, can I ask for your autograph?"
Rather than for him apparently, the boy is asking it for someone else... and from his tone, it's seem something unspeakable. Dracomon stayed silent, but when Ryuusei asked about him, the Digimon nodded. "I'm Dracomon, hello!" he cheerfully introduces himself, waving slightly at the much more experienced Digimon. "I'm Aniki's partner!"
Tatsuya then explained more about his girlfriend to him. Ryouta smiled... looks like Mana's right. She's definitely treasured by the much older teen.
"Well, good that you do have someone that special! Still, not remembering her? And she slapped you? Well... I dunno if that's fair or not, but... it seem to be quite long time, right? If it's just for three years, then if I'm in her shoes, then I'll slap you, too... and yeah, responsibility thing doesn't suit you. Aren't you 'child of freedom'?" he joked.

Tatsuya then explained the circumstances of him and other girls, which Ryoko thought would make Nanami jealous. Oh, and he assured himself that he wouldn't make Nanami jealous, but Ryoko would still tell her if he flirted someone. With such handsome face and defined muscles, which girl wouldn't hit on him? And his friendly personality too.
"I know ya won't make her jealous. But dun make me report to Nami-chan if ya do sumthin' silly. Rite, Bakatsuya?" Ryoko chuckled when she called the nickname Nanami gave to him. "N it kinda sucks when y've to leave without sayin' goodbye, especially to yo' childhood crush."
Despite Ryoko telling Tatsuya the exact description of this Ryuu guy, Tatsuya insisted that he was in Jamaica. Oh, and what if he really met him?
Anyways, Ryouta expressed his interest to be suit actor. His martial arts skill seemed to be qualified, but he admitted that he lacked in acting. Ryoko smiled, knowing what she could do, or anyone to teach him.
"Dun worry, Ryouta-chan! There's Takaiwa-san, Minami-san, 'n Eitoku to teach ya 'bout suit actin'! Ya shuld talk moar to 'em 'n Sakamoto-sensei so ya can improve yo' actin'!"
The boy then asked her to give him an autograph. Well, a signature wouldn't hurt, really.
"Kewl. Where shuld I sign at?" Ryoko asked the boy.
Dracomon introduced himself as soon as Ryusei recognized him. Ryusei smiled and replied, "'N I'm Ryusei, Onee-chan's partner! Nice ta meetcha!"
Ryoko smiled when hearing Ryouta's comment of Tatsuya being "child of freedom". Well, it was him, at all. Being free and such.
"Yea, y're rite, Ryouta-chan. It's not like Tacchan can burden such responsibility, thuff he's into slacker type." Ryoko chuckled when saying "the slacker" part.
