Imminent Changes [Duncan/Open]

Owen could taste the change in the air. He couldn't describe it persay, but... he could tell that something exciting was going to happen with the digital world. All these humans showing up, becoming partners with digimon. All these new adventures opening up, his circle of friends growing all the time.
The Gaomon, dressed in his boxing gloves, backpack and bandana was humming a little tune that he had picked up from the humans as he walked through the forest. He could smell the odor of fish nearby, perhaps there was a lake around here? Owen sure hoped so, he loved eating fish.
It seemed on almost every adventure, he'd come across someone new to meet. Even in these woods, normally a quiet and serene setting.
"Hmm. If I don't find anyone, maybe I'll train here for a bit?" the Gaomon pondered. He took off his boxing glove, looking at the paw beneath. Every so often, a surge of data seemed to spark in his black claws. Perhaps... he was coming close to evolving? Well, only time would tell. Gosh he wondered how his sister Cion would react if that happened?
Owen continued forward, sniffing to see if he could detect the scent of anyone nearby. Eventually, he came to the shore of the lake, seeing it stretched out for a few hundred feet. Well then. Perhaps this would be a good spot to set up a fishing line of sorts? He thought of what to do as he put his bag down.

When he closed his eyes, Duncan was in the real world. As he opened them, he was about five feet above a body of water...and falling. Before he can even let out noise he splashed down. Thankfully it wasn't deep and he was able to get his feet under him and stand up, coughing from a mouthful of water and holding Galahad up over his head. Cursing loudly, he starts to make his way towards the shore.
"Are you ok Galahad?" He asks as he makes it ashore and hold Wanyamon where he can see him.
"That was fun! Let's do it again!" Galahad laughs and leaps from Duncan's hands. He starts to bounce and shake at the same time, trying to dry himself. Duncan chuckles at Galahad and tugs off his heavy poncho, tossing it and his backpack down in a heap. Thankfully, he hadn't lost his Digivice, so he tucks it away into his pocket.
"So, this is the Digital World huh?" He says aloud, though not asking anyone in particular.

Well... Owen had heard of the expression "raining cats and dogs" before, but not the expression "It's raining humans"? Well... he thought he had heard of a song about that sort of thing from a human called Geri Halliwell before, whoever that was.
The Gaomon was so startled by the human appearing in front of him that he gave a somewhat girlish scream and stumbled backwards, landing with an 'oof' on the dirt of the bank. He hoped nobody saw that, it would be so un-dashing.
Thankfully the human and the baby digimon he was holding didn't seem to be in any kind of trouble, the human able to swim ashore. Owen took note of their conversation, that the little digimon, a Wanyamon was apparently called Galahad. A fine name indeed. The human and the Wanyamon climbed ashore and proceeded to get themselves dry. The human then asked if this was the digital world in what seemed to be a self-musing way.
"Hello there!" Owen said to them, walking over. He had to look up because the human was a foot taller than him, like most humans were. "I... take it that you've just arrived here?" he asked, uncertainly. "Well then, if that's the case, I'm happy to get you acquainted" he held out his gloved paw. "My name's Owen. Owen the Gaomon. Nice to meet you".

Duncan spins on his heel, startled at the voice behind him. Once he sees who spoke, he grins. "Galahad! Look!"
The little fur ball stops rolling around and starts to bounce toward Owen. "Hello Owen! I'm Galahad. This is my partner Duncan!" He says excitedly. Duncan chuckles and shakes the offered gloved paw.
"Nice to meet you Owen. You'd be right, this is our...I mean my first time here." He looks around at the forest they were in, his eyes full of amazement. "I jumped into a pile a trash...and came out in this amazing place. Is it all this beautiful?" He asks and Galahad continues to bounce like a mad Digimon.

Owen smiled as the Wanyamon bounced around him. Ah, he was really fond of digimon like him. Owen remembered when he was a little Wanyamon not so long ago, going on adventures, playing with the other digimon at the Village of Beginnings. Although of course when he evolved to Gaomon and finally grew limbs was when he was truly happy.
"Galahad and Duncan, eh? Nice to meet you" Owen said, shaking Duncan's hand firmly. What Duncan said next made him a bit puzzled.
"So, uh, you jumped into trash and... ended up here?" Owen asked, tilting his head. "Is... that how you humans normally come here?" he wondered, but brushed that off. "Well, you seem to know where you are at least so that's something".
He agreed that the sight was beautiful. "Yeah... the digital world sure has its neat spots" Owen said, looking at the view, putting his paws on his hips. "So then. I'd be happy to help you get acquainted, so, I guess a starting point would be, what do you know of the place so far?"
Once Owen knew that, hopefully he'd be of more use to this new human. He was eager to give a good impression after all.

"Not a whole lot. I met another Tamer couple of days ago who told me the very basics before I had to run..and then we were walking and my Digivice lead us to a river. It was full of trash but I could tell it was a portal of some sort...so I jumped in." Duncan motions to where he fell into the water. " You saw the rest."
He bends down and starts at straighten out his belongings, folding his poncho and storing it into his bag, then sits cross-legged on the ground. Galahad yawns, hops over to Duncan and curls up in his lap.
"This is all still new to me. I only met this guy three days ago and until I met the other Tamer and his two partner's, I was convinced I was either crazy or he was some kind of toy. But now..." He looks around again, chuckling to himself.

Owen nodded as he understood what Duncan was saying. "Ah, okay, so you've met another tamer that told you all this" he said, supposing that was the reason why Duncan was so calm about this.
The next part confused him a little. "A portal appeared... in a trash-filled river?" he asked, surprised. "Well, I, uh, guess if the portal was obvious that's a good thing, heh. But if it were me I would've probably kept away from it, getting wet trash in your fur isn't very pleasant after all".
Owen then remembered that humans had very little fur, other than what was on top of their head. But he continued listening, folding his arms as the full story unfolded. "Heh I see. Well, Galahad here happens to be a Wanyamon, which is the in-training form of a digimon like me" the Gaomon said, watching him check his belongings. "And if he trains strongly, he'll evolve into a beast type digimon. If you like, I can help you and Galahad train a little?" he asked, eager to make some sort of impression.
"Oh yes, and we're in a region called the Server Woods" Owen added. "It's mostly safe, but it's best not to venture in too far. Er... yeah, there's a big Trailmon network around the woods that'll get you back to civilization pretty quickly, if that's something you might need to think about later".

Duncan smirks about it comment about jumping into trash.
"It was perhaps a little reckless of me, but we were both excited and decided to go for it."
Galahad leaps from Duncan's lap and starts to bounce around excitedly. "Yes! I want to Digivolve!" Duncan watches how excited Galahad gets and nods toward Owen.
"I couldn't say no even if I wanted to." Duncan says, raising to his feet and brushing off his pants. "By all means, just tell us what we need to do and we'll do it. Right Galahad?" Galahad hoots and hollers his awnser. "You say he will Digivolve into a..Gao..mon? Like you?"
Duncan stumbles on the name, he had almost forgot it. Pulling out his Digivice he nods again.
"I believe we are ready whenever you are, Owen."

Owen shrugged at the statement. "Well, I guess if you already knew there was another world at the other side then that makes it understandable" he said. As brash as he could be sometimes, Owen did understand logic.
He smiled as the Wanyamon said he wanted to digivolve. "Well then! Lucky I met you guys then because I happen to have trained a few others in overcoming that particular hurdle". The Gaomon remembered the first time it happened, meeting that kid with the Bukamon. A few moments after he met him, the Bukamon evolved into Gomamon, and all was pretty awesome in that meeting.
"So then" Owen continued, swinging his arms as a means to get ready. "Heh, maybe. I don't really know what you might digivolve into though buddy. You could be a Gaomon like me, or you could be another beast digimon, like a Bearmon, Elecmon or Strabimon. Anything's possible really".
It seemed that they were both ready. Owen nodded, retreated a few steps, then turned to face them.
"The best way to evolve is in the midst of battle" he said. "So, Galahad, I want you to try out your best attack on me!" he readied himself. "Don't worry, I'm a level above so I can take it. But yeah, give us that old beast digimon spirit and let's see how ya go! Of course I won't hurt you back, I don't hit digimon at a lower level than me!"

Duncan plants his feet. "Alright Galahad. Are you ready?" With his Digivice in his right hand he motions toward Owen. "Go get him!"
Galahad growls. Granted he's so small it's more cute than it is threatening. He starts to hop forward, acting as ferocious as his little body will let him.
He leaps into the air, throwing himself at Owen, screaming a battle cry. Duncan watches excitedly as Galahad flies toward..then merely bounces off. Galahad oompfs and hits the ground next to Owen.
"That's alright, Galahad! Try again!" Duncan calls out and Galahad readies for another attack. "To you have any pointers for him Owen?"

Owen braced for the impact. The end result was like being hit in the gut with a football. While not very painful, it still knocked him back a few steps. Ooh, he clutched his gut for a moment. Well... maybe he shouldn't take hits like that?
"Hey... not bad" he said, getting his posture back. Did he have any advice? "Well... when you're making the leap, try to vault with your tail to add some extra power, alright?"
The Gaomon then decided it might be better for him to defend from the attack this time. He raised his fists, the boxing gloves ready to defend against blows like that, like the inevitably stronger one that would follow. Owen didn't want to have a sore stomach at the end of this after all.
"Come on, let's go again!" he encouraged.

Duncan notices the screen of the Digivice starting to glow. He didn't know alot about this but he figured that was a good sign. He holds the Digivice out toward Galahad.
"Alright Galahad! Let's do this! I know you have it in you!" Duncan encourages Galahad. The small Digimon leaps into the air, following Owen's guidance and using his tail to vault forward. Something clicked as Galahad flew threw the air. Suddenly the Digivice exploded with light and then that light envelopes Galahad.
The light was nearly blinding, yet as he flew through the air you could make out his body shifting into what would become a Gaomon. In a burst of pixels, Galahad lands in front of Owen in full rookie form. He grins wolfishly at Owen and then turns to look at the amazed Duncan.
Galahad looks quite diffetent than Owen. His is a mixture of colors. The tips of his ears are white and the color fades to black for the rest of his head. The color shifts into a deep grey going down his neck and the rest of his body is covered in and greyish white fur that fades to black toward his paws and his tail, with the tip of his tail being white. He also has a brown bandanna and brown gloves that seem to have some extra metal plating around the knuckles.
"Galahad! I knew you had it in you." Duncan says walking over, grinning like a fool. "Man, we are gonna be a great team." He kneels down and offers his fists toward Galahad, who bumps them, much like the touching of the gloves before a match. Duncan then turns to Owen and extends his hand. "Thank you for helping us Owen. We owe you one."

After meeting that weird red-haired girl, Katsura thought she was better off in the forest. Thus the girl was wandering the forest again, accompanying her was Nyao the Salamon who she carried in the arms like a doll. Open seeing that yet another human had fallen down, Katsura sighed. "Nyao, just how many people fall down here? It doesn't seem that 'secret'." Nyao just shugged having truly no idea how to answer.
Then as they got closer, they saw a boy was talking with some kind of Digimon boxer. (this digital world makes absolutely no sense!)

Just before Galahad made an impact, Owen's yellow eyes widened as he suddenly turned white, beginning to grow. "Aha! Knew you had it in you!" Owen remarked, putting his paws on his hips as the digimon evolved. What would he turn into, he wondered? Then he saw the black and grey fur... this was interesting. He didn't know of any rookie digimon that normally had fur like this.
When the evolution finished, it seemed that Galahad had become a Gaomon, similar to him, but with different fur instead of blue and white. "Now that is interesting" he remarked. Black fur on a digimon often meant some kind of variation, although Owen had seen a few others like him with different colored fur. One had black, brown and white. Another had been pure white.
"Heh, no problem" Owen said, shaking Duncan's hand. "So then, Galahad, what's it like having limbs now?" he asked, patting the other Gaomon on the back.
Owen's ears then twitched as he heard someone else approaching, someone with a feminine voice. "Ah, another human?" he remarked to himself, then saw that there was indeed another one approaching. One with a Salamon partner. "Ah, excellent, another canine digimon" he said, waving as they approached. "Hello there!" he called. "Are you new to the digital world as well?"

Galahad holds his gloved fists up and smirks. He dances around on light feet, shadow boxing with an invisible foe, trying to imitate what he had watched Duncan do back at his home. "It feels great."
"Man, we are going to have so much fun training together." Duncan says with a chuckle. After Owen brings the newcomer to his attention he turns to her and smiles. "Oh look. I didn't think I'd meet someone else in here! Come on over, we won't bite."
"Much." Galahad adds, barring his pearly whites toward the new people.
