Hot, Sweaty, and Very Confused

Clive entered his family's apartment in Shibuya and carefully locked the door behind him. Exhausted from a draining day at school where most of the classes were taught in a foreign language, he walked across the entry way and froze.
Almost forgot, he thought, sighing to himself as he took a few steps back.
He took off his shoes and placed them in the shoe rack.
"Why does Japanese culture have to be so weird?" he asked himself in English. "It's not like wearing shoes in the house actually makes it dirtier unless those shoes are filthy..."
After putting on shoes to go to school, changing them for school, changing them for PE, putting slippers back on after PE, and then putting on regular shoes to go home, he was getting sick of it.
He put a pair of small navy blue house slippers on the ground and slipped his feet into them.
With another sigh, he headed to the desktop computer in the living room and sat down.
He moved his backpack to his lap and unzipped it before opening a web browser and searching for a decent translation website.
While digging around in his backpack, a bright glow came from his computer screen, making him blink.
The next thing he knew, he fell on his rear as if someone had pulled his chair out from under him.
"Hey!" he yelped, looking around to see who was messing with him.
Unfortunately, he saw something completely unexpected: sand appeared everywhere he looked without a soul in sight. The sun was high up in the sky, blistering and even hotter than in Tokyo.
Zipping up his backpack and heaving it on his back, he adjusted his glasses, closed his eyes, and breathed deeply to calm down. When he opened his eyes, the view was the same.
Whoever did this made an incredibly elaborate prank! Was technology in Japan just this advanced?!
Kneeling down, he put his hand against the ground. The sand burned his fingers, and he immediately withdrew them, frowning and confused.
Did he fall asleep? Was this a dream?
The hot sun beat against him, making him sweat in his short-sleeved summer uniform.
Frowning, he saw a building structure nearby. It looked like maybe it was some kind of art museum or another place with artistic flare, but there wasn't a parking lot. Many stones of the pyramid were broken and damage. It was in obvious disrepair.
Nervously, Clive walked over to it as fast as he could without kicking off his house slippers. There was a large entry way that was for too large for a human to need, so he supposed it was the cargo or supply entrance or something.
"Hello?! Is anyone there?" he called out tentatively in English. After a pause, he repeated the same thing in Japanese, but no one came.
He looked outside and saw an impossibly large gray monster of a dragonfly, which he would later be able to identify as a SandYanmamon.
"Did I travel to the future? Is this a... transmigration?" he asked himself, looking down at his dirty sand-coated house slippers. These kinds of themes were popular in fiction, right?
Although he was having trouble adjusting to the Japanese culture and language, he didn't hate it enough to want to slip through time or live out the rest of his life in a desert inhabited by human-eating monsters!
Nervous, he looked around inside the odd pyramid he found himself in.

The attention was focused onto the familiar presence of her younger cousin whom Viki did remember babysitting once or twice. As the young lady would be the first person to quickly approach Clive in hurried steps, the bird followed close behind. “Thank goodness that you are alright, Clive! Are you hurt anywhere?” Her first words to her cousin were one of great concern. How did he end up here? [attr=class,ooc-notes] some ooc notes can go here!

Clive stepped into the structure further and looked around. There was a hallway to his left and another to his right. There was also one directly ahead of him. They were all surprisingly large, too.
I wonder what was transported here. This had to be some kind of truck route, right?
Suddenly, he thought of the massive insect he saw outside and shivered. If the hallways were so large, then didn't that mean creatures of that size could enter? A chill ran down his spine. He no longer felt as safe as he did a moment ago.
Weirdly enough, the walls had torches along the hallways, providing enough light for someone to barely see where they were going.
He looked down at the ground nervously and held onto his glasses to keep them from falling off. He tried looking along the piles of sand to try and find any footprints, although he wasn't sure if he really wanted to follow them or not...
A voice rang out behind him, making him jump and turn around.
He recognized his cousin Viktoriya and quickly relaxed. A relieved smile appeared on his face. He hadn't seen her for a long time since his family had only recently moved to Shibuya, and the opportunity hadn't come up yet.
"Cousin Viktoirya!" he called out, automatically speaking in Russian. "I'm not injured. Where are we? What is this place?"
Finally, he had a lifeline and would figure out how to get back home!
Even if this was some elaborate prank, he wouldn't expect Viktoriya to take part. She was always following the rules and was good to him after all.

Though the Biyomon was doing her best to be civil, Viktoriya had to offer another explanation for something that one would assume was a strange animal-like companion. “Vera is a Digimon, a creature that inhabits the Digital World.

"Why are you exploring ancient ruins?" asked Clive with some confusion. "I thought only archeologists and... erm, tomb raiders did things like that."
When the strange pink bird-like thing talked, he looked at it--no, her--with wide eyes. Why could this creature speak Russian?!
"A... digi... mon?" he repeatedly slowly, unfamiliar with the term. "A bee-yo-mon? What exactly are these creatures?"
He nervously adjusted his glasses and folded his arms. As far as he could tell, they looked like stuffed animals or strange monsters to him. The menacing-looking one he saw out in the desert was particularly nightmarish like it came from some sort of horror movie.
"Um, how do I get home?" he asked with some alarm. Why did Viktoriya want to go into such a dangerous place with such a strange being by her side? Why was she out here in the first place?

Vera would be the bird to fill in the blanks over what they were. “We’re digital monsters that live and thrive in the Digital World, so I guess we’re like...Tatsugotchi or something?” Though Vera wasn't sure if Clive knew what Pokemon were, but the other franchise involving pocket monsters could be a good comparison.[break][break]
Once the question being posed was a simpler “how do I get home” in an alarmed way, the heiress ruffled his hair in her own reassuring manner as she replied. “The Digivice you hold can get you home through the D-Terminal.

"Oh," said Clive. He had no idea what Tatsugochi were, but he tried to pretend he did. He supposed he would just have to observe them for himself. It took a moment before her burst out with "Wait! Digital?! We're in a computer right now? How is that possible?!"
He thought back to the glowing computer screen that lit up before he appeared here. Did his computer swallow him? Was this a new gaming technology his parents didn't mention? His parents weren't all that interested in computer games, though; they preferred to act more sophisticated.
He knew that games with bodysuits, gloves, and goggles were in production to make it feel as though players were living in the game world, but he also knew they had a lot of trouble with motion sickness.. However, he didn't put on goggles or other gaming attire.
Clive immediately touched his face and glasses before feeling his hands and even patting his legs. His glasses felt like normal, and he didn't feel any goggles on his face. His hands felt like skin, not gloves, and his pant legs felt like his school pants with a dusting of sand over them.
He wasn't wearing any special equipment as far as he could tell.
Viktoriya mentioned him having a digivice. Was that the method to enter the Digital World?
"Digivice?" he asked. "What's a digivice?"

Another question being posed by her younger cousin was one about Digivices, so Viktoriya replied while holding her own pink Digivice. “From when I was first told about them, they are devices that can tame and evolve Digimon.” Well, the first time she did hear about it was when she first met with Vera near the Network Plains.

A digivice sent him here?
Adjusting his glasses, he examined Viktoriya's digivice. He didn't remember seeing anything like that. Maybe someone slipped it into one of his pockets or his backpack?
Clive first began feeling through the pockets of his private middle school uniform. Feeling his smartphone, he pulled it out to check the time and phone signal. The time was still at the same time he got home, so it obviously hadn't been updating since he arrived. There was no signal.
The weirdest thing was, however, it didn't look the same as before. Instead, it was mostly white with an X-shaped blue-violet accent clipped onto the back.
When he played on his phone on the way home from school, it had clearly been black.
Curious, he tapped on the screen, and an image of biyomon popped. The device began narrating details about the digimon (in English, fortunately), and he quickly silenced it.
"Is this thing a digivice?" he asked, holding it out to his cousin. "It looks different from yours, though. It functions like my cell phone. It's just... the colors and casing changed."
He considered checking through the rest of his bag.
Out in the desert, heavy winds grew, spitting hot sand and waves of heat splashed into the entrance of the ruins.
Grimacing, Clive, scurried toward a safer area.
Loud roars reverberated from outside, making a shiver run down his spine.

When the two suggested stepping further inside, Clive nodded.
Uncertain which path to take, he wandered toward the one to the right as sand and hot winds blew around him from the back. Like he noticed before, the tunnel was far larger than what a human would normally require, but that made sense with monsters roaming all over the place.
He glanced left and right as he fidgeted with his digivice in his hands.
"Were all these places built by... diji... mon, or did someone else build these long ago?" he asked in Russian as he wandered around.
A deep, claw-like marks as large as his body dug chunks out of the wall. It reminded him of a cat's claw marks, but they were way too large. A pile of rubble settled beneath.
Clive gave it wide berth when an oblong stone rolled to him and bumped against his leg.
He stepped away slowly, somewhat nervous.
The rock then rammed into a wall, cracking itself open! Apparently, this was an egg the size of a human baby and not just some random stone!
Two glowing eyes then peered out from a wider crack in the egg, staring at him like a starving beast.
"V-Viktoriya!" he almost hissed, his shushed voice filled with terror.
Just what was that thing? Another monster?

As the shorter young boy was heard saying Viktoriya’s name in horror, the heiress noticed something with wide yellow eyes staring at them from the crack of an egg.

Ignoring Viktoriya and Vera, the little hatching kept its eyes locked on Clive and stared.
Clive trembled and stared back.
Then, he slowly moved a foot away from the egg, sliding it across the dirty floor.
As if triggered by a spring, the mokumon jumped out, splashing around Clive's head in the form of a plume of smoke!
He immediately coughed and began swatting the air around him. He ran toward Vera, instinctively trying to hide behind his elder cousin.
His efforts to escape were to no avail. The smoke creature floated around him with an ember of fire lit up above her head like a candle. Although she reformed her body, the baby digimon's pair of glowing eyes gazed at Clive as if in awe, and she continued to float after him.
Baby teeth peaked out of her gums as she drooled.
Seeing only four tiny stubby teeth in her mouth and realizing that this digimon didn't mean any harm, Clive calmed down and watched her back.
He slowly lifted one of his hands and poked her smoky body. His finger moved right through her.

The mokumon grasped Clive's finger with her stubby smoke fingers, clinging onto him like a baby. Then, she leaned forward, gnawing on it with her tiny teeth. Saliva dripped down, grossing Clive out.
He immediately retracted his hand and wiped it on his pants.
"This is a baby digimon?" he asked, stepping away again.
Not wanting to be more than fifty centimeters away, it floated after him, making him cough once again.
Seeing his phone--no, digivice--flicker, he lifted it up to look at it.
"Mokumon," it read. "A fresh smoke digimon. It envelops its body with a smoke-like vapor. It is a unique digimon whose DigiCore is bare, so it seems it covers its DigiCore with smoke in order to protect it, and has an unusual way of life. Since the Smoke was generated when its DigiCore was burned, it seems it is harmful neither to Mokumon itself nor to others. Also, because it is still in the middle of digivolving, when it encounters an opponent, it immediately flees. Then, it scatters the smoke issuing from its body all around, and seizes the opportunity to escape when the opponent loses sight of it. As stated earlier, because it isn't particularly harmful, if you happen to see one, it would be best to be quiet."
As his digivice spoke, he looked up at the digimon and blushed. The smoke didn't harm others, so was his coughing all psychological.
He leaned forward, inhaling it, and leaned back. No coughing.
He looked down, embarrassed.
The digimon babbled in baby language and reached toward him again.
A loud roaring sound came from outside, and a collision rumbled through the ruins.
