By the time Scout thunked down on the ground on the Network Plains, BlackKoromon had already assumed his rookie form, and was limbering up. "Ow. That hurt a lot less, last time," He looks around, trying to get his bearings before Kai joins them. Assuming he does.
He checks his D-Scanner, and finds the arrow is pointing off towards a vibrant looking valley, several miles away. By vibrant, of course, Scout means 'green'. It could be radiation, for all he knows. "Okay, perfect, we know where we're going. We might be home in time for movie night and popcorn!"
Oh, Scout. What.
"I think we can cut straight across these plains...and head into the valley. I mean, I can't see anything in the way. Man, I should've planned this out before I invited someone along..."

Kai stared at the empty air where Scout had been. "Oh" Well, that was the portal Scout was talking about. Apparently it was real. "Alright you two, I suppose we'd better follow." He needn't have bothered. Shiro was already hopping through, so Kai raced forward so he wouldn't lose him. "Whoa!" The sudden fall caught him completely off guard, compared to the usual smooth train ride.
"alright, Scout, where to now?" Kai asked, picking up Shiro before the white Digimon could exit stage left without warning. "Hey!"

"Mm. This way," Scout leads on, across the plains, following the arrow on his D-Scanner's screen, "Looks like it's over in that valley. It might just be a couple'a hours round trip, if we're lucky! Plus, it's a lovely day!" Stop looking for the silver lining.
He thinks, as they walk, trying to remember what he was planning to ask Kai. Something BlackAgumon had said the other day, when they ate all the bacon in the house... Oh! That's it. "So, what do Kuro and Shiro look like when they Digivolve? Do they stay sleek and cute, or do they get all big and fearsome, with horns and fangs?" He puts his index fingers on his head, like bull horns.
He's often wondered what BlackAgumon's forms look like, but they're never talked about. Maybe these are his only two forms? That'd be a shame! Silver lining: At least they're making good progress across the plains. Almost no-one in sight, and those they can see aren't crossing their path, or attacking them, which is excellent!
It also makes a nice change.
"I guess, um. While we're walking...would it be alright for us to talk a little too? I'd like to get to know you better. But I totally get it if you don't wanna share," Smile!
He's long-since learned that not everyone is as open and happy to share as he is.

Kai followed Scout towards their destination. "They haven't Digivolved beyond their current form, to be honest." he admitted. Were they supposed to have? It didn't feel like that long since he'd met them, though they had been through quite a bit. Maybe he was just a bad tamer, and his Digimon should already be at the next level, as Yui's were? Thoughts like this were probably why he was a bad Tamer...
"Even if Kai won't talk to you, I will! But Kai will, talk to you. Won't you Kai!" Kai couldn't help but laugh. "Of course I will. I don't really have much to say though. My life was pretty boring until I met these two. I have an older brother, he's better than me at everything. Other than that, I'm not exactly an interesting person."

"Oh, well I'm sure they'll get there when they're meant to!" Scout gives an encouraging smile, "I guess it's no different than my Digivolution. And I'm only just getting to the next stage and stuff, and I've been doing this nearly three times as long as you, right? So, I mean. Yeah!"
Stop.
Scout laughs at Shrio's antics as well. He genuinely likes Kai's partners. They're cute, and their personalities offset each other quite nicely. "Mm. What? Better at you than everything? No way!" Scout seems weirdly defensive. Maybe he doesn't like people having low self-esteem. "I refuse to believe that. You're smart, good looking, funny, enjoyable to talk to. Right, B?"
BlackAgumon merely snorts in response.
"...B says 'Yes',"

"You only say that because you haven't met Renji." he replied morosely. He had to stop thinking about his brother! It brought him nothing but despair!. "Anyways, it's been pretty wild since I met these two. Shiro thought they way to form a partnership was to bite me! He just wanted a partner so he'd have someone to feed him though." Shiro perked up. This story was about him. He liked stories about him!
"So there I was, taking these two to get some food without a clue what they eat, when Shiro jumps out and bolts down the street! I thought I'd have a heart attack. Fortunately Yui, she's another tamer by the way, Yui was there to save us. She grabbed Kuro and dragged him into an alley to keep him out of sight. She helped a lot, without her, I'm not sure I'd have survived the first week. I definitely wouldn't have survived the second. But that's another story. It's your turn to talk."
Shiro was clearly less excited about the story, once he'd heard the full thing., It painted him in such a bad light!

"Nope. Nonsense. Don't put yourself down. I wouldn't've called you if you weren't cool," Scout offers a smile, "My turn. Uh. What do I say."
He scratches the back of his neck, "Right. So, my D-Scanner. It literally fell into my hands. Kinda. I took some food to a homeless man I befriended last year, and on my way back home, something whacked me over the head and nearly knocked my unconscious. My D-Scanner fell from the sky and hit me on the head. I couldn't see anyone who might've dropped it, so I held onto it. I was planning to take it to the police station to hand it in,"
He pauses for a moment, "But. I was attacked on the way home by a Digimon, the first I'd seen. I was pretty scared. It must've been attracted to my D-Scanner or something, I suppose. Anyway, it activated and turned me into BigAgumon. That was enough to scare the Gomamon away,"
BlackAgumon cuts in, "Kid and I met when he saved my digicore from a couple of Vi-Elecmon. Charged right in and tried to talk them down. Pretty heroic, I thought. Didn't work, but he managed to scare them off when he changed infront of them. You should'a seen their faces,"
Scout laughs, "As for life? I'm a gymnast. And I'm trying to learn parkour. What do you do in your free time?"

It seemed he really was the only person in the world who had gone so long before acquiring his Digivice. All his old insecurities reemerged. Was he really meant to be Kuro and Shiro's tamer? Or had the Digivice appeared because the heat of the moment required him to have it? Ah, but it simply wasn't worth arguing with Scout over his value. The other boy thought highly of him, for some unknowable reason, but, as Kai had said, Scout had never met Renji.
"Are Digimon attacks in the real world that common? I've heard other people talk about them, but I've never run into one myself. " He supposed they couldn't be that common. If they were, Digimon would be impssible to keep secret! Maybe he should get a larger sample size before making judgements.
"Free time? Well, before these two showed up, I did a lot of studying. If I don't I fall behind in school. Since these guys showed up? I haven't had much time for that. Mostly I try to keep Shiro out of trouble, not to mention fed. I don't know how I've managed so far, he seems determined to reveal himself to everyone I meet!"

"Mm. I dunno how common they are. I've seen a fair few Digimon, but most have been attached to Tamers, in the human world. I've only been attacked there a couple of times. It's more common here, I guess. Um. But I'm sure that won't happen today!"
BlackAgumon chuckles, "And if it does, I'm sure the Kid'll protect you. Won't you, Kid?"
"Yeah! Wait. What? What're you implying? I...hngh. Oh, you, um, study a lot, huh? No hobbies or anything? That's fair I guess. Do you spend a lot of time with your friends then?" Scout smiles, but...would guess that Kai probably doesn't get out much. Not that that's a bad thing.

Kai was jealous of the friendly banter between Scout and his partner. Shiro may cause a lot of trouble, but he almost never talked back like that. Kuro, too, seemed reserved with him. The two often bickered with each other, but never with him. Maybe they didn't feel very close to him? It felt bad.
"Uh, yeah. Mostly at club activities. Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, American Football, Judo, Track, Go, Chess, Shogi..." He counted off on his fingers as he listed the clubs. Surely he was forgetting some? That wasn't good. He'd better make a more comprehensive list, soon. With all this Digimon stuff, he was having trouble keeping track of everything.

Scout's jaw drops, and for the first time since meeting Kai, he goes silent for almost a full thirty seconds, "All those clubs?! That's amazing! And those are all such cool things to do! You're so cool!" D'aww. He seems genuinely awestruck. But then, he hasn't met Renji. Apparently.
"Breathe, Kid," BlackAgumon seems to find the whole thing very amusing, "way to go, Other Kid, now you've gone and gotten him excited about you," He snorts.
"Shh. No, that's...but that's so cool! Man, gymnastics must seem super lame by comparison,"

"It's not that impressive." Kai muttered, more than a little embarrassed. "I'm not very good at any of them. Everyone else is so much better... But, if I lose to them, how could I ever beat Renji? All I can do is work harder, since I'm not as good. I'm honestly jealous of you, being able to focus on one thing you really love." Kai fell silent. He wasn't really used to talking to other people like this, and it was making him uncomfortable. Where was a spontaneous outburst from Shiro when you needed one!?

That's fine, Scout has an outburst. It just happens to be focused on the thing making him uncomfortable, "That doesn't matter. Pfft. I wish I had the focus to go for so many things! Why're you trying to beat this Renji guy though, anyway? I'm sure he has his merits, but so does everyone. Nobody is better than anyone else,"
He nods, as they approach the entrance to the valley, still following the arrow on his D-Scanner. He swings it around a little to make sure it isn't just frozen. And then walks on.
"Besides, I think you're cool, Kai."

That makes one of us, Kai thought, as he entered the valley with Scout. He didn't want to try to argue about this any more. Neither he nor Scout was likely to budge on their opinion. He silently followed the other boy, hoping the totem would be close. "Are we there yet!? I'm hungry!" Shiro's complaint broke the awkward silence. Kai felt a bit bad... He hadn't even considered bringing something for Shiro to eat. "Good question. How close are we, Scout?"

"Mm, pretty close, I think. The arrow's getting bigger," He turns and starts down another path, "Okay. I can see like...a big cave down there. I think it's in there somewhere. My last one was in a cave too!"
Sure. The logic.
BlackAgumon speaks quietly, barely moving his lips, "We're being watched. Two. Maybe three,"
Scout alt-tabs on his D-Scanner, pulling up the two spirits he's already collected. He swipes BigAgumon's sprite aside and calls up his latest acquisition. "Digivolve to," Oh good. We're doing this then. He shrinks slightly, maintaining his humanoid form, but gaining a lot of red-and-orange flame-patterned clothing, and a witch's hat with goggles attached. A giant matchstick appears in his hand as his transformation completes, "FlaWizarmon," And there's that smoker's voice.
"Yeah. That was dumb. You're just gonna provoke them,"
"Hush. Let's just keep going, okay? Sooner we're in, sooner we're out," Scout/FlaWizarmon proceeds towards the cavern opening!
