Isaac smirked as the Goblimon started to tire. It would be way easier to get in his attacks now. The Impmon weaved back and forth unpredictably as the other Digimon geared up for an attack, trying to fake him out into overextending so he could make a decisive followup. Thankfully, the goblin's rage prevented him from handling the situation in any other way. Seeing the opening, Isaac leaped high into the air and whipped out a fireball, which proceeded to fly far over the Goblimon's head. "Imp-losion!"
At first it seemed like a pretty obvious miss. However, if the Goblimon was to follow the attack's path, he would see it aimed not at him but at his Gazimon comrade.
This was really fortunate for Elliot. The boy was too cautious to approach the Gazimon's traps, but he was certainly being pushed into a corner by them. The cat rabbit beast thing would have plenty of time to go for the jugular once Elliot was trapped like a rat. Thankfully, an incoming Imp-losion was all the distraction he needed. Once the blast careened down he would run over to the Goblimon, compressing himself down like a spring before charging headfirst at the back of his head. "Victory Headbutt!" he shouted, an increasingly familiar battle cry. |

Goblimon missed with his fireball due to the obnoxious swaying motions of the Impmon Hybrid and became even more enraged. However, this rage slightly subsided when he was faced with another fireball that would likely miss on purpose. Goblimon was somewhat correct. The green goblin followed the trajectory of the fireball and noticed that his companion, Gazimon, was the legitimate target this time. Goblimon tried to call out, "Gazi-!" until he was hit square in the face by the Gazimon's target, the Veemon Hybrid. Goblimon was sent flying across the battlefield and eventually landed, stumbling to his feet, trying to get back up.
Gazimon's trap was set but the Veemon seemed to understand Gazimon's trick. Though the cloud of paralyzing gas disappeared for Veemon to make a move on Gazimon, the Veemon instead turned towards Gazimon's companion, Goblimon, and charged in for a headbutt. Gazimon tried to warn Goblimon, "Gobli-!" until he was hit by an imploding-exploding fireball, knocking the Gazimon far across the battlefield. By chance alone, Gazimon landed right next to the struggling Goblimon.
Both Gazimon and Goblimon were no longer in any shape to continue battle and decided to help each other up and made a run for it, forgetting about their leader, Chuumon. Chuumon may be the weakest of the trio, but he is also the only leader-type personality among the three miscreants. Anyway, they forgot about Chuumon and just ran off into the horizon yelling a few more useless words.
Goblimon yelled, "You guys're lucky my nose was too itchy to concentrate!"
Gazimon added, "Yeah, lucky! I got too bored to keep focus!"
Chuumon's pride in his Cheese Bombs quickly dwindled when he saw his companions running for the hills. He may have been able to take on the injured Pikemon on his own but going against three Rookie-class digimon felt impossible and so he, too, decided to just make a run for it, "I'll get'chuu next time, Pikeymon! I swear I'll get my revenge! ...Wait up guys!"
Pikemon waited until the Chuumon and his companions could no longer be seen...in order to collapse. The toll on Pikemon's body was too great after having been hit by two explosive blocks of cheese and later being pressured into digivolving. Though oddly enough, Pikemon didn't de-digivolve which must attest to the legitimacy of this digivolution.
Anyway, after Pikemon collapsed, RoyalPikeymon attempted to provide some first-aid in the form of "ROYAL BUBBLES" which very slowly healed the tiniest of wounds. RoyalPikeymon turned to Bloomon and Smileyfacemon, imploring them not to chance after the miscreants, "We have all battled enough today. Let us rest for the time being. No sense in chasing down weaklings undeserving of my royalty."

"Yeah!" Isaac shouted at the retreating Rookies, trying to prevent himself from coming off as too tired or too worn out. He still wasn't the best of fighters, and he needed more time to hone his skills, but for now? He was the winner. "Yeah! You'd better run!"
"Pikeymon? Are you okay?" Elliot asked, the other brother a bit nervous about the new Rookie suddenly passing out. It seemed like his brother was on the scene trying to help, but his healing attack was still lacking. He didn't have any healing moves of his own, so sadly he wouldn't be of much help, but he didn't want the little guy to be badly injured! He turned to the king after he made his decree of rest, which overall sounded like it would be a really good idea. "Yeah, that's a good idea. I've had one heck of a day," Elliot said. "And your brother could certainly use the break."
With that done, Elliot walked over to check on his brother. Naturally, Isaac rolled his eyes at the attention. "Come on, bro. You know I'm fine. Takes more than one good shot to put me down," Isaac assured him, smirking cockily. It was true. If Isaac was anything, he was persistent. A bunch of thugs kicking him in the ribs until he wanted to cough his way into the afterlife? He'd still get back up and tell them to bring it on. The main difference was that here in the Digital World, he could kick ass just as much as he could get his ass kicked. |

Through the use of RoyalPikeymon's bubbles, Pikemon's fatigue was at least a little better. He could open his eyes, get up, and thank those that helped protect his brother, "Thank you kindly for helping me protect his majesty. Whether or not you were fighting to protect or not, your assistance helped tremendously all the same."
"What are you talking about Pikeymon, of COURSE they were fighting to protect me! Do not belittle their efforts just to sound cool in front of me!"
RoyalPikeymon was now his usual self again, regal in nature, arrogant, brotherly. Seeing his brother struggle frustrated him, especially knowing that he made the fight tougher for his brother. Seeing Pikeymon digivolve inspired RoyalPikeymon to try and do the same, but things had to be conquered in order to see results. After all, that's just the way RoyalPikeymon's data worked.
Anyway, Bloomon and Smilefacemon's assistance really helped out, but RoyalPikeymon didn't have any means of thanking them. They may be his loyal subjects, but compensation is needed to keep them loyal, "However, I do not have any means of compensating my loyal subjects. Maybe one day I can repay you for both of your efforts. In the mean time, Pikeymon and I will go rest at a local inn. You are welcome to follow if you so please, but rest assured; you two will always be my subjects, loyal or not, huehuehue!"
With that statement made, Pikeymon the Pikemon and RoyalPikeymon the future King of Everything Ever, made their way through the dusty streets of Rustport in search of an inn. Perhaps Bloomon and Smileyfacemon would follow and tell of their adventures before coming to Rustport Town. Maybe that way RoyalPikeymon can formulate a plan of action!

"Of course we were," Isaac said. Sure, he may have been suspicious of the kingly Digimon, but he wasn't going to stand by and let a bunch of thugs pick on the weak. Especially when they were threatening to eat them! Sometimes, he wondered how dog-eat-dog the Digital World really was. Would Elliot be okay there? Even with all of the experience they've had, they were stuck in these inferior forms for a pretty long time. Would it ever get better? Alicia's was in a pretty random place, and the odds they'd end up finding one were seeming pretty small. By then, so many threatening Digimon could try and take advantage of his brother's naivete, or just outmuscle him and take his data. Was he prepared for how dangerous of a journey this would be?
Maybe not Elliot, but Isaac was ready to do whatever it takes to keep everyone safe.
"Don't even worry about it. Not like we really need anything," Elliot responded, smiling warmly. "But thank you!" Elliot wasn't even sure how much time he'd be spending in the Digital World once moving back to California, let alone if he even needed anything while here in the world. They wouldn't need a home, because he already had one. Food? Maybe, but was Digital food even capable of sating human appetites? Besides, it'd make mom suspicious if they were too stuffed for any dinner. Money? Not like human stores accepted bits, or like the boys had anything to spend bits on when they got there. Elliot's polite refusal was equal parts the usual hero's "aw shucks no need to pay me" and genuine concern that RoyalPikeymon's generosity would just end up wasted. Upon mentioning the inn, however, the Veemon couldn't help but grin.
"We were actually gonna hit here for a quick rest stop before going to Terminus," he explained, taking RoyalPikeymon up on the "follow if so pleased" half of the comment. Isaac, on the other hand, simply shot Elliot a quick, concerned look about the "loyal or not" addition. That certainly wasn't anything to worry about at all! |

The inn named "Inn" seemed to be crawling with lots of invisible and silent people. It looked as though nobody was there other than a Puppetmon manning check-in area. He didn't look too happy until noticing the group of four entering his inn. He became a little more chipper and asked if there was anything he could do to make them comfortable. Little did the Puppetmon know he was in for it with such hospitality;
"Wow! Such great service! You are to be another one of my royal subjects! Your name will be Pinocchimon! I do no know why, but you strike me as a Pinocchi-type. Anyway, my brother needs to rest his worn body after defending me, his King! How much for one room with two beds?"
The Puppetmon understood what he'd gonna himself into now that RoyalPikeymon's personality shone bright. Unfortunately, there would be no turning back now that money was on the line, "I only have rooms with one bed-"
"Unacceptable! A King must have his own bed so as to watch his injured soldiers as they heal! I request a bed be added to our room, Pinocchimon!"
Puppetmon started to get the sense he would probably kick these two out after one night. However, money was still on the line and Puppetmon decided to just agree to the terms and moved a bed from one room and added it to another, making the already cramped room even less roomy. RoyalPikeymon was happy and made himself at home after laying Pikemon down to rest. Puppetmon was paid using the typical bits currency that was oh so valuable in the Digital World.
"Thank you my loyal subject! Here is your compensation for one FULL night! I made sure to add in extra for the extra bed! Now I need another room with two beds for my other subjects!"

"Nah, no need to worry about us."
"We would just like one each, please."
Isaac and Elliot had to start sharing a room again since the move to Japan, after a few years of relative independence. Frankly, the trip to Japan had reminded them why they hated rooming with each other in the first place. Elliot had gone from his own pristine-clean room to one that was half dipped in squalor, and Isaac found himself constantly losing track of his stuff due to the his brother's "helpful" renovations. They didn't hold it against each other, for the most part at least, but they were just incompatible on that front. It seemed like pizza toppings and cleanliness were the only two things they disagreed on. For two brothers so different in almost every way, it was a pretty small difference!
The two paid on their own as well. Wouldn't want to drain the royal coffers, after all. They didn't have too much in the way of bits, but thankfully a small rusty outpost wasn't exactly charging bank-breaking numbers. More than anything they just wanted a chance to kick back and relax before going home, and these were the only warm beds they could find for miles. With their transaction made they took their room keys, a process thankfully far less strenuous than RoyalPikeymon's room-reshuffling request. |
