A Pop Up Restaurant in the Jungle? Logical [Open]

If you go to Cipher Jungle in the afternoon... or have been there for a while, but just gone to the entrance, you... might feel... a little bit shocked. Mainly because there's a huge train here. Not a normal train either, but a Grand Locomon, a super moidified one that is, one that looked like a more futuristic one compared to a rustic feel of a Grand Locomon. Currently, there are a sign that says "if you're here for free food and drinks, please go to car 2"
Indeed, there are quite number of Digimon coming in. Some came out with a nice looking brochure. Many seem to talk enthusiastically about visiting something... Should one come inside, they would be greeted with a grand dining room like those of a really luxurious restaurant, complete with direct sight of the kitchen.
"One set A, and two set B for table 2 please!"
"Roger that!"
It's quite the scene. There's a tall young man, with quite the musculature cooking beside several Digimons. He's seem the head chef from the look of it. Beside the cooking counter, there's an aged butler with quite the mustache and solidly build creating mocktails and cocktails both. By the way, this one doesn't smells analog at all, almost like holosuit, or better said, a solid projection. This one is the avatar of the Grand Locomon, Ilbert.
A Pulsemon and Vmon is waiting tables. Both equally beefy, and have similar data signature to them.
"Dad, customer over here is asking if we could do take outs!"
"Takeouts are completely fine! Don't forget to pack the brochure, son!"
"Aiyo!"
It's quite busy, but at the same time there's a certain warmth to how the place is presented. There are also posters around the room, something like "Visit our glorious city, for a festival about to begin! Enjoy the atmosphere and beauty of jewel of the north1"
"Will these dish also available for purchase in the festival days?" a Muchomon asked the Vmon.
"Why yes! But we're currently finetuning the dishes. So if there are anything that you'd like to comment about the dishes, please write your comments in this sheet and then as a thank we'll provide you a special voucher for the festival!"
"Dad, we're running out of take out boxes!"
"There are some more in third car! You can get it there!"
"Right-o!"

Funnily enough, around that same time a Tamer and Digimon pair would be walking through the Cipher Jungle. A blue-and-pink haired teenage male by the name of Yuji, and his Tentomon partner Kazuo. The two of them were not only training in the jungle but they were also investigating, searching for someone who could explain to them the weird mental phenomenon that Kazuo goes through whenever he battles. There was only one hurdle that they have to overcome at the moment though...
"Ugh, so hungry..." they complained as they walked, both of them holding their stomachs. They had been training to get stronger for hours by this point, trying to get Kazuo to somehow evolve to Champion. While the training definitely helped, it wasn't enough for a Digivolution quite yet. Add on the fact that the two of them didn't remember to eat breakfast this morning and you've got a recipe for a pretty uncomfortable pair of partners.
"Yuyu, I have to eat something before I collapse," Kazuo groaned.
"I feel the same way, buddy. It's a shame we're not gonna find any restaurants out here," Yuji responded... before the two of them turned their heads towards what... seemed to be a futuristic Grand Locomon... in the middle of the jungle. "...what in the world is a train doing here?"
"You must still be new to the Digital World if you're asking questions like that," A man slightly older than Yuji replied. He was of a slightly bigger build than Yuji, with dirty blonde hair and greenish blue eyes. He was wearing silver goggles with red-tinted lenses, a red hoodie over a plain black T-Shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes. Next to him was a Digimon that Yuji hadn't seen before, a red metallic dragon with green headphones and blue eyes, wearing a pair of bright green headphones. "In case you missed the sign, they're serving free food in car two," he said once again before going onto the Grand Locomon with the red dragon.
"Free... food..." Yuji and Kazuo repeated, drool slightly coming from their mouths. Their stomachs growled loudly in response. They looked at each other for a few seconds before making their way onto the Grand Locomon as well. Once both Tamers and their Digimon went inside, they would soon be greeted by what looked like a grand luxury restaurant, one of those super expensive types that you'd find in Shibuya. This place was packed with various Digimon customers - so packed, in fact, that there didn't seem to be any open tables anywhere. "It looks like we got here too late, Yuyu."
"Damn, so much for that free food..." Yuji muttered. He was about to suggest finding another place, but then he noticed that guy and his Digimon from earlier sitting on the same side at a table. There seemed to be room for two more there. Feeling desperate, he walked up to the Tamer and greeted him. "Uh, hello there. Listen, my partner and I have been training all day, there's no more tables available and we don't have the energy to search for another place to eat. Is it okay if we sit here with you guys?"
The goggled man raised an eyebrow, looking over at the teen with the absurd anime hair and looking down at the ladybug Digi- NOPE, THAT'S A NO ON THE BUGS. "Uh, sorry man, but we don't really know you that well, so-"
Unfortunately he was interrupted by the sound of Yuji's and Kazuo's stomachs roaring again. It was clear that the two of them absolutely were starving. He looked back at his partner, who looked concerned about the two strangers. Adrian sighed. "Alright fine, you can sit with us."
"Thank you thank you thank you!" Kazuo said with great enthusiasm as he and Yuji sat down across from the man and his dragon Digimon partner.
"Thank you very much, we wouldn't have asked if we didn't feel like we needed to. I'm Yuji Moriyama, and this is my partner Kazuo."
"I'm Adrian Boriker, and this is my partner Shoutmon." After introductions were out of the way, Adrian didn't seem like the talking type. Every now and then he'd look back at Kazuo but then immediately look away after. It made it seem like he was either afraid of Kazuo, or absolutely disgusted by him. Probably both.

"Welcome to Pop Up Li'l Draco Restaurant, Digital World Branch," a... really tall Vmon (probably half taller than the rest or maybe more) greeted the two humans and their Digimons. "We're a pop up restaurant that currently offer set menus for you to try. You can order all of it or you can order just one up to you, just please don't waste food because that will cause the head chef to get very angry."
"That addition was unnecessary!" Ryouta retorted to Valt. The Vmon snickered.
"Nevermind that. Anyway, there are three sets here. Each person can only order one of each sets. These set are prototypes of food that will be sold in a festival few days later in our beloved city up the north, Ys. So naturally we'd like everyone to at least try all three, but... As you know, humans probably gonna get bloated eating all three at once heh! But anyway, here's the menu. You may order any drink you have in mind, we'll get it for you. But for each set we suggests these."
Set A: Crystal Crab Soup, Farm Grown Sirloin Meat Steak with Frostshroom Gravy, Side of Potato Salad with Muscle Carrot Dessert: Chocolate Brownies Recommended Drink: Mint Lemon Soda, Orange Juice with Honey
Set B: Spaghetti with Frostshroom Alfredo Sauce, Crabcakes, Soft Poached Egg with Northern Salad Dessert: Strawberry Shortcake Recommended Drink: Fizzy Apple Juice, Strawberry Tea
Set C: Marine Pilaf, Garlic Bread with Meat Puree, Warming Northern Vegetable Soup Dessert: Ice cream cake Recommended Drink: Fruit Mix, Milk Soda
"That's pretty much all of it. Now what would you like to order, dear customers? Oh right, you're allowed to bring the food for takeout if so you wish, but it will still be counted in the one set per person. So if you want to dine in set A, then want to take home Set B and C that's fine with us. But you can't order set A then take home another set A. Well you can, but it'll be 2000 bits per set."

The group didn't wait long before a weirdly tall Veemon walked up to their table, introducing them to the Digital World branch of their restaurant. He told them that the group could order from three available food sets to try, with the only caveat being not to waste the food since it makes the head chef angry. "No need to worry about that, my partner's appetite is as big as he is loud."
"That was unnecessary as well," Shoutmon said, lightly jabbing the human with his elbow.
"We'll finish what we order as well," Yuji added. "We've been training all day so we're starved."
The Veemon would continue, saying that each person can order one of three sets, each being prototypes of food that would be sold at a festival in Ys in a few days. "Wait wait, Ys is holding a festival?"
"Wait, what's Ys? I've never heard of that place before."
"It's a pretty big city up in the north of the Digital World, but this is the first I'm hearing of a festival."
"Can we hear some things about it please, sir?"
The Veemon showed the group the available menu next, each set providing an entrée, a side dish, a dessert, and a choice of certain drinks. Apparently they could order the other sets to take home for 2000 bits each. They would think about it. The four of them would observe the menu for a few moments before they each shared what they wanted to order with the Veemon.
"I'll take... Set B with Strawberry Tea.
"I'll have Set C with the Fruit Mix drink."
"Gimme all three sets, please!"
"Same here!"
"Shoutmon!" "Kazuo!" The humans should've been anticipating that their Digimon would order all three sets like that, but what are you gonna do? It was free, after all. Still though...
That's a lot of food they just ordered.

"Oh, interested in the festival are you? It's something that the king came up out of sudden. He said after what happened with DATS and all that, he'd like to use the occassion to heal. So we're reviving a... traditional festival that once was part of Ys. It's called Lux Harmony Festival."
Valt then took out a small boat, miniature really. It's about two adult palm in length, and about as wide as one. "This is the boat that you carve your wishes on. Make sure to carve it on the top, not the bottom. Afterward, you put this." Valt procured a crystal "and you put it here. Then you let it drift the Ys waterway. There will be places where the boat are allowed, and there are places where you can't put your boat because it will cause traffic accidents. Make sure to follow the protocol!
Other than that, the flowers in the city will glow along with the crystal. It's basically our city's version of Hanami. If you want to have a picnic while under such tree, you definitely could! There will also be some carnival games, foods, there's also quizzes, and there's also pop up markets. If you'd like to buy special souvenir for the occassion you definitely can! We suggest some Ys Music Box!
Speaking simply, it's just something to chill ad enjoy the togetherness. It'll be quite a long festival really. So there's no need to like... force yourself to come, stay for a long time in Ys. You can go home, return again after some time, or maybe if you want you can stay at the hotel. Just know most likely our hotels will be fully booked unless you're quick. The more expensive ones usually will not get fully booked until three days after the festival's start."
Just then, Dunraz appears with the foods. Because the lack of space, they had to use a food trolley to put the extra meal. "These are your foods and drinks, please do enjoy. If you need any refil, or want to order something else, please go to the bar. Over there. They'll give you whatever drink you want."

"The Lux Harmony Festival..." Adrian repeated to himself. Apparently it was a spur of the moment thing that the king of Ys decided to bring back after all the DATS stuff that had happened recently. "Sounds like something the king would do, honestly. Haven't met the guy but Shoutmon and I visited Ys for New Year's once. He seems..."
"Eccentric?" Shoutmon asked.
"So let me get this straight... Ys is a city in the northern part of the Digital World, and it is run by a king... what's the city like? And what's the king like as well?"
"I've never been to Ys but I heard it was very pretty."
The Veemon would then explain a special event in the festival by pulling out a small miniature boat, explaining that you'd carve wishes on the top of the boat then put in a special crystal and let the boat drift on the Ys waterway. He also mentioned other fun activities like carnival games, foods, quizzes, and special souvenirs. He also explained how the festival will be really long, making it more flexible for people who want to go to go whenever they feel ready. The Veemon even suggested booking hotels in Ys, though they'd have to act quickly before they're booked solid.
"This festival sounds fun! I wanna go when it starts, Yuyu. Can we, please?"
"I don't see why not. A Digital World festival sounds like it could be fun!"
"Count Adri and I in as well! We've had enough of the life or death stuff for a bit, let's have some fun!"
"Wait, what?"
And at that moment the food would be served. The food trolley was brought out containing the vast amount of food that the group had decided to order. Considering that the Digimon were eating three times as much as the humans... yeah, it was a lot. Everyone's eyes widened, with Shoutmon and Kazuo gaining happy and excited expressions. The four would each grab their servings (the Digimon would each only grab one) and then all four would place their hands together and pray. "Thanks for the food!"
And then they would all start to dig in. Upon trying the food, each of their faces would light up, as if they just tasted the best thing imaginable. Shoutmon and Kazuo would pick up the pace while the humans were more polite about it. "Who would've thought a Frostshroom would taste so good?"
"This is absolutely delicious," Adrian cheered before taking another bite. "So this stuff's prototype food for the stuff that'll be served at the festival, you said?"

"I think he would be proud of being called eccentric, that guy, I'd say that he's.... spontaneous. Or something of that sort. He's like a wild card," Valt mused. "And yes, Ys is a city on the north... As how it is... well, where to explain first? It's an excavated city. Basically we found a historical site, and then we refurbished it. So in a sense, it's a piece of living history. For those who are not interested in its value as a historical site, it's city of water and snow. It's very well known for its crystals. The crystals responds to emotions and bond, thus it's believed that perhaps the origin of chosen humana and digimon stemmed from Ys itself... We... don't quite deny or accept it, it might be "one of them" but it might also not be?"
What else what else "As for the inhabitant, us, we just prefer to look at it as city of harmony and self development. We very much encourages Digimon and Human alike to use the city's facility to improve themselves, whether it's academically, physically, hobby, or necessity. We hope that they would spread this view that Digimon does not have to be tribalistic, nor just focused on just battling. There are a lot of choice for improvements. The king himself would like to view the city as academician city, in where you can access all sort of information. Oh right..."
Valt procured what looked like a small tablet. "Please watch this if you're more interested in the sceneric sight of the city itself. Maybe you'll find how good they looked."
On the video, it shows a massive cerulean gate with crystals growing out from its walls. The crest of the city is a butterfly it seems, with infinity symbol making up its body.. As the gate opened, the sight of the city is revealed. Its architecture style seem to be different based on districts. The more quaint housing district have more homey feel to it, the production district tends to be more futuristic, while the administrative district looked magical. The trees are almost ivory-like in color, and its leaves darker marine, almost blue. It's flowers, white like snow, have blue tint to it. It glows softly. The most notable however are the multi colored crystals that grow under the trees. Each tree have different colored crystals. The city often snows, but more than snows sometimes there are also salt piles.
The city's canals seem to be used by aquatic Digimon and people who likes to travel with boat. There are roads of course, but it seems that the most preferred method is the water canal. The water quality is obviously very high considering how people can look at the bottom of the canal so easily. The bottom? It's decorated with natural stones.
Its biggest attraction is probably the Ys palace, where most of the magic happened. Backed by trainquil waterfall on its back, the palace is built with marble and crystals. Its garden looked stunning with varieties of flower bushes, crystalline gazebo, a pond with lilies and fishes.
"Yes, those are what will be sold... or at least we're going to check people's liking toward them. Frostshroom are rather minty and cold, so it's usually not popular with people on the south and east so we gotta check what's the best way to prepare them for people of this side," Valt explained.

"Oh yeah, its crystals are the first thing we noticed when we went there for the first time," Adrian said after Valt finished explaining what the city was like. "Though I didn't know that it was built around a historical site." The part of the crystals reacting to emotions and the theories about how human and Digimon bonds started there was fascinating as well.
"Okay, you lost me at crystals. Last time Kazuo and I went and looked for crystals we ended up meeting a very rude Lopmon, a Falcomon with an absurdly long name, and a bandit Blizzarmon, and the whole thing ended with me getting hit in the face with a flaming piece of wood." Yuji didn't seem very thrilled by this memory at all.
"Your eye healed at least though, Yuyu. And there won't be any fighting at all, at least I don't think there will be. People don't fight in Ys, do they?"
"Waitwaitwait, back up, what's this about a Lopmon, Falcomon and Blizzarmon?"
"Some other time, maybe."
As the group ate, Valt explained even more about the city, about how how its viewed as a city of harmony and self development, about how they encouraged humans and Digimon alike to use their facilities to improve themselves. "Is there an arena to improve combat skills?" Shoutmon had to ask. "I'm teaching my son how to fight is all, and I'm looking for new ways to teach him."
"Ooh, maybe Yuyu and I could train there as well if it exists!"
"Wait, you have a son, Shoutmon?"
"Two sons actualy, a Hackmon named Luneth and a Coronamon named Rory. What about it?"
"You just don't seem... old enough to be a father."
"I'll take that as a compliment!"
Anyways, Valt would then show off a video about Ys to the group. While Adrian and Shoutmon had seen the sights before, and were still awestruck by them, Yuji and Kazuo had a more noticeable reaction to seeing such a sight for the first time. "Holy crap... I don't think I've ever seen a place like this before, in real life, games or otherwise!"
"So pretty!"

Valt... looked at Yuji as if he got two heads. "Hmn? What? What crystal... do you want really? I mean... the trees in Shining Seas, are all crystals? Some of them are even growing on the sands? What... crystals are you looking for here exactly? There's tons of them, and... what?" he tilt his head again. Honestly, this sounded like, a case of "looking for any fish in middle of the sea where there are school of it, but ended up being bitten by a shark" to Valt.
People don't fight in Ys? "No, they don't. Unruly behavior would not be tolerated in Ys. If you want to settle your fight, go fight in the gym, and even then you're not allowed to hurt your opponent until they got sent to the hospital. If you have disagreement then debate is the way of Ys. If someone gets too unruly, the city will kick them out... no, not the police or anything, the city itself will kick them out."
Arena huh? "It's at the gym. If I recall correctly there are division on the gyms floor. One of them is a massive arena. There are smaller, personal arenas you can rent for some sum of bits to fight in, usually to train. The grand arena is basically a... FFA - Free for All. You get in, and anyone can fight you. Sometimes I go there to give some newbies good teamwork tips hah hah!"
"Dad, some more orders!"
"Aiyo! I'll get there! Well then, everyone, if there's something else, you can talk to my son there." Valt pointed at Dunraz. "Just call him. I think he could use some break. A hard worker that one, heh."

Valt seemed confused by the way Yuji said he was looking for crystals. Yuji was of course happy to clear it all up. "My partner and I were at the Shining Sea since he heard rumors about crystals that glow at night. We wanted to see it for ourselves, see what makes them glow. What ended up happening was we encountered this pirate crew that tried to rob us and a couple others that were there at the time. The Blizzarmon captain threw his chariot into the campfire, and one of those pieces hit me right in the eye."
That description definitely made Adrian and Shoutmon wince. Especially Adrian, as he was very sensitive around the eyes. Why do you think he wore goggles? "It seems to have healed nicely at least."
"Well I had some assistance from a healing Digimon... I was too out of it at the time to remember who, though."
"I was really scared and angry back then... no one hurts my Yuyu and gets away with it!"
"Yeah, I would feel the same way if that happened to Adrian... also why are you calling him Yuyu?"
Kazuo looked at Shoutmon for a moment before shrugging. "I dunno... I just kinda like it. Plus he was the one that inspired me to even give the partner thing a try, before we even knew that we were partners at all!"
When asked about combat arenas, Valt explained how the gym at Ys has one massive arena and multiple smaller arenas to train in, or to potentially do a Free for All battle. That definitely peaked the group's interest. "I'll definitely have to bring Luneth there sometime! And who knows, Kazuo, maybe you and I can spar there as well."
"Really!?"
"Do we have to...?" Adrian mumbled to himself. Just sitting with this ladybug Digimon was starting to make him antsy... That was when Valt was whisked away to fulfill more orders, before he offered to call over to his son, the incredibly ripped Pulsemon over at the other side of the restaurant. All four of them stared at him and sweatdropped.
He's definitely Valt's son...
Once Valt left, the group continued to feast on their meals. They were really satisfied with them as well, Adrian couldn't remember the last time he had home-cooked food in the Digital World that was this good for example. Of course Shoutmon and Kazuo were practically speed-eating, causing both their tamers to tell them to slow their roll once or twice. The group didn't have much need to call for anyone aside from maybe refills, though if Dunraz wanted to he could easily walk up and start talking to them.

"Wow... uh, I'm really sorry to hear that. Next time if you need any help, you can send SOS signal to Ys. Shining Sea is kinda our turf, so if it's needed we can help. But if you think you can handle it, it's fine to not send SOS signal, but we'd still request that you report to us anything like that happening. Mainly because there are tons of migrants who sometimes have no idea that Ys is accessible through most big settlement thanks to our train armada. They're not as big as Terminus' considering that Ys is probably just a tenth of Terminus... but it's still huge." Valt commented. "...Hmmm, if you'd like to get that cured, probably ask Haku. He's our local doctor and well... you just need to give him headpats, snacks, and call him good boy for payment."
...Did they heard that right? Most likely.
"Berserking when your partner is hurt is a normal thing. I'd be really worried if someone did not berserk after that happened... which probably either means you're not close to begin with or you think it's not a big deal. Whichever it is, that would mean your bond is only up to that point."
Hmmm, well the other is talking about sparring and all... While Valt is away to serve other guests, Dunraz approached.
"Did you find everything satisfactory, sirs?" he asked. "Oh and... um, I can't help but to overheard what you said... there are tons of personal trainers in Ys, but I still think my father is the best of them all! So if you need a pointer, my old man can probably teach you or something."

"Yeah, we might've needed some help back there," Yuji admitted. "I'll be sure to let Ys know if I see anything like it happen again." Valt's comment about the local doctor being paid in head pats and treats threw off the group a bit, causing them all to sweatdrop, but eventually Yuji just shook his head. "Thanks, but there's no need. I got it healed up already, though if you look closely you can see a scar around my eye."
"...oh yeah there is," Adrian says, looking closely at Yuji's eye.
Valt agreed that any Digimon would go berserk if their partner got hurt, since it was a sign of their close bond. "I would've preferred it if Yuyu didn't get hurt back then," Kazuo commented, "but it was because of my anger that he got hurt that I was able to Digivolve for the first time. you know?"
So then the group was left to their own devices in between Valt and Dunraz interacting with them. This time would be beneficial for both parties, since it gave them time to discuss their interests and stories with each other, since Adrian and Yuji did have quite a lot in common! Even Shoutmon and Kazuo were getting along with each other. Though when it came to Adrian and Kazuo... well, the former still attempted to ignore the latter. But why?
Eventually Dunraz would come up to the group, saying he overheard them talking about sparring and training and said his father was the best trainer of all. Adrian would look back up at the Veemon after the Pulsemon said that. "I'd have been surprised if he wasn't a trainer, or at least very skilled in fighting. And yeah, everything's going great over here. The food is fantastic!"
"I would like a refill," Kazuo asked, holding up his empty glass. It seemed the others' glasses were empty as well.

"Well, my old man, heh... he's a drill sergeant of KIZNA," Dunraz admitted. "He's... kiiiinda the guy that you would see yelling and all that while training the cadets, but outside of that he's pretty chill. I guess there are tons of people who kind of... you know, unsure what to feel about him. Like on the field he's harsh and will call you names, get you in high stress codition, but outside of it, he's like a guy who treats you to meal and drink. Of course only if you want to. He's pretty understanding that this jarring image probably gonna make people all confused."
He received the glasses and refilled the drink easily.. Seem that the butler on the bar already noticed their drink is empty and told Dunraz to refill it if they asked.
"Ah, eh, anyway, if you want to use the gym, it's probably best to do so on the middle of the festival. I think everyone would be a bit more focused on the event compared to before. Not to mention the festival will be kicking off in full at that time. So people will have less time sparring in the gym. They'd be looking around the city instead. So that's your best bet when you want to train. Or late at night. The gym is open 24/7."

Well, that wasn't what they were expecting to hear Valt be described as at all. "A drill sergeant? Seriously?"
"I was getting a more bodybuilder and fighter kinda vibe from the guy, personally," Shoutmon added. "Didn't think he was really the angry yelling type of 'mon."
Dunraz continued to explain that when on the field, Valt was very harsh, calling others names and getting others' stress levels high, but off the field he was nice and treats people to meal and drinks like he was doing now. All four had expressions of absolute confusion, how could someone just be able to intentionally switch behaviors like that? "That kinda reminds me of Kazuo's mental state during battles. Except he's more focused than angry."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
"Well, something happens to Kazuo when he fights, or if something bad happens to me or our friends. He just... changes, becomes someone else entirely. We've been trying to search around and see if we can find something to explain why it's happening but we've had no luck so far."
"We just wanna know if it's something serious."
"...that remind you of anyone, Shoutmon?"
Shoutmon crossed his arms, looking at his partner with a slightly more grim expression. "Yeah. Omni." He even took a break from eating after mentioning that name. Omni must be serious business...
Once Dunraz came back with the group's drinks, he suggested that they come down to the festival and use the gym during the middle of the festival, since it would be open 24/7 and the guests would be more focused on the event at hand. "That's actually a really good suggestion, Dunraz. We'll be sure to visit Ys during that time!"
"We'll have to bring Kaya along too. She's been down in the dumps lately."
"Eh? Kaya Matsui, right?"
"Yeah, she's like a little sister to me. You know her?"
"Only a little bit, we've talked here and there since she was there when I first met Kazuo. What's this about her being down in the dumps?"
"Honestly, I'm not too sure. She didn't say all too much."
"Just something about a traumatic experience involving the multiverse, which is apparently a thing now."
"M-MULTIVERSE?!?" Yuji and Kazuo both yelled out loud. "That actually exists?!?!"

"Well a drill sergeant doesn't have to get angry... they just got to yell and make sure to pressure with their presence. The idea of a drill sergeant is that you don't have to be angry, just make your cadets feel that they're in very high tension situation. Then again Dad can easily get angry if people get too bigheaded, so there's that, heh heh." Dunraz commented. "It's like acting, you know? Not everyone is built to it, because you need to balance the mental abuse with the desire to nurture and know when to stop."
Strange conditiion, but not unheard of. "Some Digimons actually berserking when they're in battle," Dunraz answered. "While they're an absolute sweetheart out of it. It's apparently some sort of switch in the mind. Moment.. Hey Dad!" Dunraz flagged Valt over.
"Yeah, sup?" Valt approached him soon after.
"So these people are asking about evolution and why it seem to affect Digimons differently. Err, battles too."
"What, about that? Well basically when you enter a battle, some Digimon have this switch that pretty much numb themselves, or to get serious. Digimon by nature are combat species no matter how you try to gloss it. When said Digimon is too afraid to fight, their inner survival instict kicks in usually... and then takes control. Basically, you know how you faint when you get too scared and such? Think of that, but the difference is your instinct takes control."
What with them and yelling about multiverse? The father and son closed their ears instinctively.
".......yeah those exist, what with it even? Owww, my poor ears..." Valt sighed.
