Joshua awoke with a throbbing in his head and a pain in his neck. The floor beneath him felt rough and uncomfortable he opened his eyes to see himself in a wooded area. surrounded by trees. Slowly sitting up he looked around to take in his surroundings but nothing came to him but confusion. He rubbed the back of his neck as he sat there in the dirt looking around for anything familiar but there was nothing. He sighed to himself before climbing to his feet and grabbing his backpack.
As he dusted himself off he felt something heavy in his pockets, reaching inside he found a strange device, metal with yellow trimming. It had a small screen on it and looked almost like a virtual pet, he was about to simply throw the item to the ground when he realized it had a compass built into it and a red marker directing to what Joshua assumed must be north. He set off in the direction of the blip with a slight sense of trepidation about him. This strange place worried Joshua and he needed to find his way home. As he made his way through the trees a pair of eyes looked down on him from the brush, almost menacing in their appearance.
About an hour or so had passed when Joshua found his way to a river, still no closer to finding out where he was he decided to take a rest and enjoy the sights, yes he needed to find his way home but Joshua was an outdoorsman, he would be safe taking a little break and enjoying the sights. Removing his backpack he took a seat against a nearby tree and placed the device he had been carrying down by his side. He began to lookout over the river with a small smile upon his face as he thought about how often he would go camping as a youth and how little he had gotten the chance to do it since moving to Japan. As Joshua sat at the river the eyes that had been following him remained trained on him studiously not sure as to what they were watching.
The water slowly running down the river seemed to ease Josh, that was until he saw an egg floating downstream, and a somewhat large egg at that, Joshua Quickly shot to his feet and raced downstream after the egg. He soon caught up to the egg and managed to grab it from the river. He couldn't quite explain why he felt compelled to grab the egg but he did, he placed the egg under his arm and made his way back to the tree where his bag was and collected his things. Placing the egg in his bag he decided it was time to carry on searching for a way home.

Another 3 hours had passed and Joshua was no closer to finding his way out of the forest, and the egg on his bag was growing heavy after all the walking. Joshua was growing tired and frustrated so he placed his bag on the floor once more and opened it up to find the egg had cracked.
"no no no no no" Joshua repeatedly said to himself in worry as he pulled the cracked egg out of his bag, he closely examined the egg with a scared look on his face, he tried to find signs of leakage but found none at this point the egg began to shake startling Joshua and causing him to scramble backwards across the ground. The egg shook once more and the crack grew larger before finally the egg shattered. revealing a small purple ball with white vines or hairs growing from it. Joshua looked on the thing with confusion and caution, he edged closer to it before it suddenly hopped and turned around revealing a pair of black eyes. "What the he.." Before he could finish the creature piped up in a squeaky voice.
"Hi there! My names Yuramon, who're you?" The creature sounded friendly but Joshua was scared, this thing could talk and it had just been born. "Are you one of those simple digimon that can't talk?" The small creature blurted out and a happy chirpy tone.
"Digimon?" Joshua Said with a bewildered look on his face still not knowing what to expect from the creature before him. "What's a digimon?"
"I am, you are, everybody is silly" Yuramon laughed at Joshua
"I'm a human" Joshua replied
"Humon? Never heard of him before" Yuramon laughed once more
"No, i'm a..." Before Joshua could finish he realized there was no point in continuing, the creature was basically a small child and reasoning would be a waste of time and effort. "So, Yuramon, there are others like you?"
"Oh yeah, tons, you wanna meet em?" Yuramon said in a joyous manner
"I would love to" Joshua said as he climbed back to his feet. The Yuramon then made a satisfied noise and jumped into Joshua's backpack. Joshua did not close it this time and simply smiled as he climbed back to his feet and put the bag on his back. As he started to walk he began to think about what this creature on his back could possibly be, he was scared but also excited. It was yet another adventure for him after moving all the way from England. The Yuramon seemed friendly enough so Joshua tried to put his mind at ease and continue on his way.

It soon transpired that this little creature did not know as much as Joshua had thought as he was asking many, many questions. As to why Joshua thought a newly hatched...thing would know anything, who could say. It wasn't long before Joshua and Yuramon came to a clearing in the forest and Joshua looked out over the fields, he examined the landscape before him and a sense of wonder came over him. The land was beautiful.
"Hey mister, what are you looking at?" The Yuramon poked his head out of the bag and began to look around. "wow" the Yuramon then sound in amazement at the sights before them "it's beautiful" it transpires that Joshua and the creature had something in common, an appreciation for beautiful landscape. despite this a sense of dread then came over Joshua the sudden realization hit him.
"We're not in Tokyo are we?" Joshua then said depressed and downtrodden, his head dropping along with the tone of his voice.
"No silly, this is the Digital World" Yuramon responded unaware of how sad Joshua was. Joshua then sat himself on the ground and put his head into his hands. Yuramon then seemed to notice the sadness filling the space. "Hey mister, What's wrong?"
Joshua took a deep sigh before raising his head from his hands he felt he had to spare the little creature from his feelings. "Nothing, I'm just a little tired is all" he smiled a half smile at the Yuramon that had now climbed out of his bag and was sat in front of Joshua.
"Then why are you so sad" Yuramon responded with a more concerned tone than he had displayed so far. Joshua laughed slightly, it was clear he wasn't fooling anybody.
"I'm lost Yuramon, and i don't know how to get home" Joshua said with a forced smile on his face. Yuramon then jumped into his lap in an attempt to make him feel better, he was surprised by this act of compassion, that being said pretty much everything had surprised him today.
"You know, i can help you look for your home" Yuramon said as he snuggled into Joshua's lap. Josh then began to run a hand through Yuramon's hair/vines almsot as if he was stroking a pet.
"Yeah" Josh replied looking out over the landscape.
"Mhm you helped me, so I'll help you" Yuramon replied sounding determined.
A small smile the curled onto Joshua's lips at the compassion of this small creature. "OK then" Joshua smiled as he continued to look out over the landscape before realizing the sun was starting to set. "well before we start looking for a way for me to get home we need to find a place to camp, it'll be dark soon" Joshua said in an encouraging voice prompting the Yuramon to jump out of Joshua's lap and start bouncing around. Josh grabbed his bag and the tow made their way back to the edge of the woods taken refuge under a tree. Joshua having spent time as a scout, knew how to survive in the wilderness so he quickly made a small shelter and a fire for the two to keep warm through the coming night. Yuramon quickly fell asleep as he led on Josh's chest. While Josh looked up at the night sky wondering where "the Digital World" even was. It was getting late though and Joshua knew he would need he strength so he decided to close his eyes and get some rest.

In the middle of the night Joshua was woken by a strange sound, a low rumbling, clearly something that Yuramon had heard as well as when Joshua awoke Yurmon was staring off into the distance almost growling.
"What is it?" Joshua asked almost whispering as he said it. Yuramon made no answer but simply kept it's gaze trained on the darkness. Joshua slowly grabbed his things and put them on his back in case the two of them had to run. He looked out into the darkness but could see nothing. Strangely Joshua then began to hear a sound, it sounded like a strange giggling, Joshua grew more and more unsettled as the sound grew louder then suddenly through the bushes flew out what looked like a fairy. A tiny blonde girls with wings and a spear. This startled Josh but he soon regained his composure seeing that it was a little girl. "Calm down Yuramon it was no.." Before Joshua could finish The fairy threw is spear at him almost too quick for him to dodge. Josh hit the ground and scrambled for a second before grabbing Yuramon and running as fast as he could into the woods. "What is that thing?" he yelled as he ran clutching Yuramon in his arms.
"Tinkermon" Yuramon almost growled. Joshua was concerned at how different Yuramon's attitude was to earlier in the day, clearly this meant something was wrong. "She steals children and takes them away to her master" He then spat out. It sounded like an old story Joshua had heard when he was a child it was bizarre and terrifying so josh simply tried to carry on running for his sake and Yuramon's.
Before long Tinkermon had caught up to them and was flying behind them laughing trying to jab Joshua with her spear. It was here when Yuramon leaped out of Joshua's hands to the ground below, shocked Josh slipped and hit the ground hard, he looked up with concern for his small new friend. Yuramon stopped Tinkermon in her tracks. They were both in the middle of a stare down as Josh knelt on the ground.
"Get out of there Yuramon" Joshua yelled with a concerned look on his face. Yuramon would get killed by that thing yet still it refused to back down. Suddenly the device in Joshua's pocket started to shine brightly, he pulled it out and looked even more alarmed "What is going on?" he yelled to nobody in particular. The light on the device grew even stronger. Tinkermon charged towards Yuramon and Joshua screamed when suddenly the light grew blinding and a flash shot forth from the device.
"Yuramon, Digivolve to..."

"Tanemon" Yuramon Shouted.
The light faded and in place of Yuramon was now something much large,r though still only reaching about half way up Joshua's shin. The new creature was a green ball with leaves on it's head and two small feet, it had eyes resembling seeds and a mouth. Had Yuramon transformed?
Joshua had little time to take in what he was seeing as Tinkermon was still heading in for an attack. Without hesitation the little green creature calling itself Tanemon spat a pink bubble like substance at Tinkermon temporarily blinding then jumped out of the way sending Tinkermon barreling into a tree. The Tanemon turned to face it and had a determined look in it's eye.
"Get 'em Yuramon!" Joshua shouted over to the creature in encouragement which caused a small, cocky smile to form on the face of Tanemon. Tinkermon only grew enraged at this and readied itself for another attack. Tinkermon charged at Tanemon once more, with a look of anger and hatred on it's face, almost snarling as it went. Tanemon leaped out of the way with surprising agility and as Tinkermon turned to head after him she was met with another bubble to the face. At this point Tanemon charged with all it's force and tackled Tinkermon hitting her straight in the stomach, knocking her to the ground. Tanemon landed gracefully and continued to smile confidently at Tinkermon who simply looked angered and ashamed. Tinkermon then decided to flee leaving Tanemon and Joshua to their victory, both of them with huge grin's on their faces.

"That was incredible, way to go Yuramon!" Joshua shouted as Tanemon slowly made it's way over to Josh.
"Actually is Tanemon now, i digivolved" The tanemon exclaimed as he grew closer.
"But it's still you, right?" Joshua then questioned, a look of concern on his face.
"Of course it's still me" Tanemon seemed very much the same as Yuramon only he looked different. The two of them then started walking together through the woods in an effort to find a more secluded place to spend the rest of their night. As they were walking Joshua remembered Tanemon saying something about "Digivolve" and decided to bring it up.
"Hey Tanemon" Joshua said breaking the silence as the two walked next to one another.
"Yeah?" Tanemon responded.
"What's Digivolve?" Joshua asked feeling quite foolish.
"Digivolving is where a digimon, like myself gets stronger through a kind of transformation" Tanemon explained as Joshua listened intently.
"So, it will happen again?" Joshua continued to question.
"Probably, depending on what happens i might even turn back to Yuramon" Tanemon then replied.
"Weird" Joshua then finished and the two grew silent once again too tired to continue their conversation. The two continued walking for sometime looking for a suitable place but after the fright of Tinkermon everywhere seemed suspect.
Soon Joshua noticed Tanemon dragging behind, whether he was tired or just couldn't keep up with Joshua he did not know but he stopped anyway and waited for the small Digimon to catch up to him. Soon Tanemon caught up and the two continued to search the woods but before long he was dragging again so once more Joshua stopped and waited for him to catch up but this time he stopped him and picked him up.
"Hey" Tanemon said squirming slightly as Joshua walked. "I can walk myself" he said.
"I know" Joshua replied but soon Tanemon had stopped squirming and had fallen asleep in Joshua's arms. Josh looked down at him and smiled softly as he continued to walk through the forest for a place to rest.

Tanemon awoke several hours alter with the sun beating down on him to find Joshua asleep resting against a rock. He looked around and found that the two of them were atop a large rock overlooking a large portion of the woods. In the distance a large spire could be seen almost piercing the sky, it looked as if to split the horizon in half. Joshua soon woke stretching out as he did so. The sun was also the reason Joshua had woken from his slumber. He made his way towards Tanemon and the two looked out at the giant spire, both of them astounded. “You think that might have anything to do with my way out?” Joshua said still tired from his short sleep. “It can’t hurt” Tanemon replied with a smile on his face. “Regardless, at least we have a direction now” Joshua laughed softly still looking at the spire. “How far away do you think it is?” Tanemon then said his voice perking up slightly. At this thought Joshua looked a little defeated, truth be told he couldn’t tell how far away it was. All he knew was that it was huge, it could be a few weeks walk or maybe a few months. There was no telling from this distance. “I haven’t a single clue” Joshua then responded after a little thought. Without his voice dropping at all Tanemon then replied in as just as perky a tone“Looks like we have an adventure on our hands” Tanemon then grew a determined, confident smile on his face much like the one he had when he was fighting Tinkermon. Joshua then looked over at his new friend, he had a feeling he was right, this journey was going to show Joshua a lot of new things, for better or worse, yet still he smiled too. “I’m Hungry” END
