Hachi faced Honoka when she asked what type of music he liked to listen to. "Hm, can't really say I listen to much music. But if I were to, I suppose I'd like something with a slow yet catchy tune. I don't know much about music other than that..."

It wasn't long before the child that the cactus was holding began to wake up from their nap. The first thing this child laid its eyes on were the two humans that had just entered. Its eyes widened. "Mama, look! Those are humans, aren't they, Mama?"

"Indeed they are, Tanemon, now hush child, you don't want to disturb them do you?" The cactus Digimon told her child. She had a feminine voice, which is a voice you wouldn't expect from a Digimon like this one.

"Oh it's fine," Hachi would tell the mother, "Hey, by any chance do you know where this train is taking us?"

"Eh?" The cactus asked, looking confused. "Don't humans know about the Trailmons to the Digital World?"

"Digital... World..." Hachi repeated, rubbing his chin. "A world entirely made of data? Does that mean Digimon are data as well?"

"Give the genius a trophy, he's gone figured it out," the humanoid rock Digimon said in a sarcastic tone.

"There was no need to be so rude, the human was merely asking a question," The wizard shot back at at the rock Digimon. He turned around to face the humans. "My name is Wizardmon. And what are your names?"

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Nijimura Honoka," The Wizardmon politely said to the young girl. He turned his head to face Hachi. "And your name is?"

"Ah, I'm Hachi Zaan. It's a pleasure to meet you as well."

"Why in the name of Yggdrasil would you talk to them, ya scarecrow-mouth?" The rock Digimon bitterly asked. "Did you forget that they're the ones who come to our world and change everything?! We're lucky that SOME cities have common sense and ban humans from them!"

"Human or Digimon, everyone deserves to be treated right," Wizardmon calmly said. He would then take out his wand and point it at the rock monster. "And those who treat others poorly should get their just desserts." The rock monster gulped before turning his head away from everyone.

Wizardmon put his wand back in his pocket and faced the humans again. "Not all Digimon are like that. There are a considerable amount that discriminate against humans, but many others also seek unity between our two worlds." Wizardmon then listened to Honoka's story, saying they just stumbled onto this train by accident. She would then pull out her device, which Wizardmon took to examine. "Hachi... do you have a device like this as well?"

"Of course," Hachi responded, taking out his own device to show the Wizardmon as well.

Wizardmon handed the pink device back to Honoka before speaking once more. "Humans who receive Digivices like yours are known to hold a great amount of power. Some channel their energy into a Digimon they've bonded with. Others command a whole squadron of Digimon that fuse together into one entity. And then there are others... that turn into Digimon!"

"Transforming... into Digimon...?" Hachi asked for clarification. His usual smile was now on full power. "That's incredible! Do you know how it fully works, Wizardmon?"

"Unfortunately I do not know everything," Wizardmon said, "But I am sure that you both will find the answer to the questions you are seeking."

Honoka then spoke up to Wizardmon, saying that she didn't think it was right for him to "threaten" the rock Digimon in the way that he had. In response, Wizardmon chuckled. "Hohoho... there is still plenty that you have yet to learn about our world, Honoka."

The girl tried to communicate with the rock Digimon some more, introducing herself and Hachi once again. Hachi was unsure of this however; that guy really seems to be set in his ways, and he didn't want to irritate him anymore than he already was by that point. "Um, Honoka..."

She held her hand out to shake the Digimon's hand. Ohhh, the ways that Digimon truly wanted to show the human just exactly what he thought of humans. But all of a sudden, a voice came from what would presumably be the intercoms: "Just a quick reminder to all that are aboard Trailmon Grey: I do not tolerate physical violence. If any fights start I will personally kick all of those involved off of me. Thank you, and have a great ride!"

With that announcement the rock Digimon simply growled and left to another car. Wizardmon sighed. "Thank goodness the Trailmon made that announcement. Right on time, too."

"The way the conductor talked... it sounded like he himself was the train."

"That's because he is. Trailmon is a Digimon, and we're riding him right now."

The Wizardmon crossed his arms and lowered his head in response to Honoka's speech. "Honoka, humans and Digimon are alike in so many ways, and different in many others. Everyone should be treated with respect, but there are those that don't deserve it. Trust me, if I hadn't pulled out my wand or if Trailmon didn't make that announcement, you would've been mighty hurt."

"Honoka, I don't think you would've been able to change his mind like that," Hachi said. "That Digimon clearly has a deep hatred for us, you weren't going to be able to get through to him."

"Only you yourself can change your own perception of the world."

The Trailmon laughed when Honoka began thanking him for letting the humans be passengers. "It's my job, human girl, no need to thank me! And you can call me Grey!"

The moment had come. The Trailmon has finally left the tunnel, flooding the inside with sunlight. Looking out the window, Hachi smiled. "You're gonna wanna check out this view, Honoka."

Looking outside of the window would reveal a beautiful sight. Lush green grass, tall and healthy trees, a clear blue sky with barely any clouds, and even a river, with a forest on the other side. Many different types of Digimon were scattered about, with a small flock of pink bird Digimon with red beaks flying alongside the Trailmon.

"If you don't mind, I wish to not have to hear your discussion anymore," the cactus Digimon said, "it's making me rather upset. There's enough discourse about humans and Digimon fighting each other as it is."

"My apologies, Togemon," Wizardmon said to the Togemon mother. He listened as Honoka bragged about being able to run away from delinquents, yakuza and online internet stalkers. Wizardmon sweatdropped. "If I may ask... what exactly are yakuza?"

"Living dangerously, I see," Hachi joked. "I think I sorta remember you... you get chased out of the school a lot by said delinquents, don't you?"

It truly was a wonder of what the beauty of nature can do to lighten a mood. Honoka expressed how beautiful the Digital World was, waving towards the flying bird Digimon. Unfortunately they did not see her waving, so they simply took off, leaving the Trailmon behind.

"To think that all this time, a world like this existed... and it's all digital! My dad's gonna freak when I tell him!" Then Hachi began to process that thought more. "...on second thought he can never know about any of this."

After around ten to twenty more minutes, the Trailmon approached a small city located within the forest. It was magnificent, it was modern but not at the same time, like some sort of fantasy. Grey docked at the station there, and all the passengers began to exit the train, Wizardmon included. "I know we got off on the wrong foot, Honoka, but I know Rosewood like the back of my cape. I can give you two a tour, if you desire."

Wizardmon immediately understood what Honoka was talking about when she described what a yakuza was. "Ah, I see... unfortunately there are plenty of Digimon criminals in this world as well. But it's not like there's much one can do about it."

When the Trailmon stopped and Wizardmon offered Hachi and Honoka a tour, the latter gleefully accepted, asking for Hachi's opinion on the matter as well. "Yeah, definitely. I know Tokyo like the back of my hand, but not anywhere else, sadly."

Hachi followed the Wizardmon off the Trailmon and onto the platform itself. The city that the two were in was the city of Rosewood, a newly built city that was now the capital of the Eastern Timberlands. It was as if the city itself was at one with nature, unlike most cities that destroyed surrounding nature to make way for the buildings and pavement. "Gotta admit, seeing a nature city was something I didn't think as possible."

Wizardmon turned back to look at Hachi as he kept walking. "That's Rosewood for you. There are many cities in the Digital World, but in my opinion none of them are as distinct as this one. Here you'll be among nature but still have access to the comforts of a modern city."

This city was indeed beautiful. Hachi had not grown up in the slums like Honoka, he was mostly raised in a fancy penthouse, but that didn't mean that the city's beauty did not have an effect on him, because it most certainly did. He observed the various types of Digimon that were simply working or living their lives, having conversations with each other, bartering... it wasn't something one could easily describe.

Honoka was almost letting the city's view control her, since she started spinning around and around, seemingly trying to look at everything at once. Eventually she completely fell over backwards, causing both Hachi and Wizardmon to laugh along with her. "What were you trying to do? Become Wonder Woman?" Hachi jokingly asked.

The teenage girl looked at a flower that was growing, asking more about the Digital World. She asked if everything actually is data, since it was all so real-looking. "Indeed. Everything in the Digital World is compiled of data..." Wizardmon then sweatdropped. "However, I do not know what you mean by 'video game stuff'."

"It's a human world thing. Teams of people create little digital worlds of their own for people to control an avatar inside of from the comfort of the human world. However it's all scripted, the inhabitants of those worlds only do what the script tells them. I don't think it's anything like that here."

Honoka then asked an interesting question. If a Digital World plant was taken to the human world, would it still grow like normal? "That... is something I never thought of before. I don't imagine that that specific flower belongs to anyone, but to be safe you should buy some seeds here and plant them back in your world. I would be interested in seeing the results."

"Yeah, same here. This Digital World is pretty interesting..."
