A black sleeveless hoodie wearing teen came out from the train originating from Shinjuku, carrying a blue duffel bag that seem a little bit on the empty side. His expression looks like someone on trouble. He wanted to get out from there as soon as possible and solve this problem, but in times like this... He really can't do anything. What's wrong with today? There's too much information to proceed at once!
--- Itou Yuuki was spending time with his friends from elementary school. It was a fun time, quite a blast since a while. When he arrived home several hours afterward, his sister who normally would mind her own business asked something odd.
"Yuuki, is that art project stuff that you're working on your table?"
"What... stuff?" he asked back, rather perplexed at such question.
"Huh? That big egg on your study table isn't yours? It have strange pattern on the shell, so I thought it's something important from art class. I thought it was Kenji's at first, but when I asked him, he said he have no idea, so I thought it must be yours."
True enough, when he checked, there's a big egg, maybe as big as an ostrich egg sitting on his study table... At first he want to toss it away, but... For some reason, his heart told him to not to. Hard to think that there's something alive in this... it might be just a rock. Afterall, what kind of animal is inside thing this big? He leaned down and put his ear on the shell...
It's beating. No kidding, it's beating. Something is alive inside it.
Yuuki was so surprised that he fell down on his butt. Quickly, he dialed the number of his elementary school friend whose father a vet, Kotarou. It's really a great luck that they goes on reunion, six of them. Had they not, probably Yuuki would never got the chance to ask him for his cellphone number. If not, probably he'll be ultra clueless. After explaining about the situation, Koutarou told him to go to Odaiba and call him back once he's already there...
At least that was the plan, but Yuuki's cellphone somehow changed into a strange device at the train from Shinjuku... ---
The boy sighed. To return or to not. But most of all, what to do with this egg and the pair of new devices that he somehow got from this kind of event?

Jackson was at the train station not sure if he wanted to go back to the digital world. He wouldn't mind going again and possibly come close to death many times. After all, that's what makes his life exciting to him. Unfortunately he didn't want to get lost again and spend days there, not knowing how to get back.
"Just get on the train and go..." Shortmon chimed from his digivice. For him it was that easy. If he died he would just turn into an egg and hatch later on. Plus it was his home and the cake head was much more comfortable there.
"If only it was that easy for me." He whispered to himself. The young General began walking to the Trailmon, which was about ten minutes away. Jackson had no particular interest in his surroundings, so as he walked he kind zoned out. He was pretty much preparing himself to comics collide with some stranger.

"Ouch!"
Bumping with a stranger is not rare, but he guess he's the one to blame for zoning out right on place with so many people going in and out. The strange device on his hand fell down to the floor. Muttering quick apologies to the person who he's accidentally bumped to, the teenager hurriedly picked up the thing, making sure it's not broken.
"S-sorry about that," he apologized once more, bowing slightly. Zoning out is not an option afterall... Perhaps he should at least sit down on one of the bench to clear off his mind... Seeing how he just used his allowance for hanging out earlier, definitely going somewhere to eat or drink ain't an option. Yuuki turns his heel to nearest empty bench and sat there. He really need to figure out how to hatch this thing before something inside died.

Jackson stumbled back a couple steps with his hand resting on the area of impact. It didn't feel very good, but he would survive and looked at his Xros Loader hoping it was still there. When he saw it was fine he looked back towards the stranger.
"It's fi-, hey you got one too!" Jackson followed the hand of the new guy and saw the digivice. He remembered seeing something like that once when he met a tamer back in the digital world. Shortmon was surprisingly quiet about this. The general thought he would've said something by now.
"So where's your digimon?" Jackson leaned to the side and around the tamer hoping to see it. Unfortunately nothing was there, so he assumed it was back at the strangers home, or he didn't have it yet. There were endless amounts of possibilities in his mind, but he decided to go with the most likely possibility that it just hasn't hatched yet.

Huh?
To his surprise, the stranger followed him and asked him weird stuffs. This stranger, despite looking like a foreigner, his Japanese sounds very perfect. Perhaps someone who raised in Japan for long? He said something about 'same device', but what caught him off guard is something about 'Digimon'.
What's that? Digimon? Where? ...Someone tell me what's up. Don't tell me he thought this is some tamagotchi? But even though if it is one, what the heck happened to my phone? I'm not that careless to accidentally picked wrong thing and left my cellphone at home...
"Uh... if you know what this is, then I'd like to ask you... is this some kind of... um... virtual pet thingy?" Yuuki asked while avoiding eye contact, obviously kind of troubled by his situation. Leaving out important details that would bring him trouble. Typical for him.

"They're not pets...how about I show you?" Jackson walked towards the direction of Trailmon, but had no intention of seeing him yet. When he got to the area it wasn't in very good shape. There was trash along the walls and he thought he had seen a mouse. But at least there was some lighting for what he was going to show. Hopefully the tamer had followed behind him, because if not it would be kind embarrassing for him.
"Shortmon, you can come out now." Before he even finished the sentence, Shortmon had popped out of the Xros Loader and stretched out his arms and legs.
"About time you let me out, blue m now can we go back to the Digital World?"

Not... pets? What is this guy talking about? Well that much is obvious, but... show? This tugs his curiosity. Well, this guy looks harmless enough... plus if something is up, he could still defend himself as long as it's one versus one... negativity aside, without his phone and unable to contact Koutarou, perhaps this guy can help. He decided he'll follow him.
The guy walked ahead of him while Yuuki kept his distance. Not too far, but not too close either. If it's really something bad, he can just dash away... crap, what with him and his negativity? When he look around, he noticed that the crowd kinda dissipated...
Ah, this... this is the way to the locked platform, isn't it...?
"Shortmon, you can come out now."
Short...mon? Not even a second he repeated that word mentally, a strange creature with shortcake head appeared out of nowhere from the device. Yelped in surprise, Yuuki again fell backward.
"W-Wha!? Wh-what's that creature!?" he asked, definitely perplexed at such... strange creature. But rather than that... what about the egg? He quickly zipped open the duffel bag and took out the egg. Thankfully, it's fine...

"It hasn't hatched yet..." Shortmon said as he looked around the other side of Jackson. Of course he could obviously see that, but he was more curious about what was in it. His guess was the digimon would hatch into a blob of pink.
"To answer your question, digimon are creatures that come from the Digital World. In their world, there are many others and many are bigger and much stronger. Not really a safe place for us. But gives us an adventure." Jackson gave the short version of what he knew. If someone asked for an essay, it would be at least ten pages. Shortmon nodded and kept an eye on the egg.
"Where did you get it?" The cake monster asked. He just wanted to be sure he didn't steal it. But since he didn't know about digimon, he wouldn't really have a reason to take it.

"...Other world?" recomposing himself, Yuuki know that denying it would be denying the truth. If this thing really came from other dimension, then if it really ends up on him, that really means this thing picked him. Yuuki stood up and thinks for a bit... adventure. He never want an adventure... but somehow, these two things shoved to him like it's meant for something... well, whatever, probably it'll be interesting.
"Adventure, huh... well, I guess since I'm stuck with it, might best to be do it willingly instead of not."
The shortcake creature... Shortmon, was it? Shortmon asked about where he got it... Sounds like someone ask him if he's stealing precious egg of some mother ostrich... Yuuki can't help but to mentally imagines himself in interrogation room...
"...Uh, it's just happened to lay on my table. My brother said it's not his, and my sister thought it's mine," he answered.
The egg moves slightly. What inside seem impatient to get out from it.
"W-whoa, hey! Uh... do you two happened to know how to hatch this?"

"Like I said, I don't know anything about hatching eggs." Jackson didn't have an egg to handle so it was easy for him. Shortmon just shrugged at his question not quite sure on what to do. Jackson just assumed it would hatch on its own, bit maybe it was different than other eggs. Usually he could just crack one to see what was inside it, but with digieggs, he thought it would be best not to try it.
"But we both can make a pretty good omelet." The general was of course joking. He didn't even think there was yolk or egg whites in there. If he tried to find out though, he would just likely get killed. Shortmon just rolled his eyes at the joke, but not very amused.
As for the answer to his question, it checked out with Shortmon. The cake digimon still remained cautious of the new tamer. He wasn't sure if he could be trusted with the digimon that would hatch from it. Of course he was a little paranoid, but he has heard of some pretty horrible things digimon have done to others. He's even seen the horrible things.

No good. They don't know despite the egg seem came from the same world with the shortcake guy. Yet, it's seem Shortmon doesn't know how to do it. At the mention of omelette, the egg shook harder like it's offended by the remark. Yuuki himself put an unamused face at the general's joke.
Still, a few moments afterward, the egg stopped shaking. Putting his ear on the shell, Yuuki swear he heard a sighing sound. At that moment, a yellow memo fell off from the other side of the egg's shell. The brown haired boy picked it up.
"...Huh? It wasn't here before... Please rub me (affectionately preferred. Don't be too hard on me, please!)...What the heck? Isn't this thing kind of little demanding?"
The egg shook again furiously, as if offended.
"...Alright, alright, I hear you..."
Stroking the egg, Yuuki aren't sure if this is enough, but if it what the egg wanted, then... let's follow what it wanted, at least for now.
Crack
The shell cracked a bit. So it's enough afterall. He resumed to stroke the shell until finally it fully cracked. Coming out from it... a purple furball with mouth. While initially it looks annoyed at his partner, perhaps because he delayed rubbing him for so long, the creature smiled.
"Nga!"
"...Someone tell me what I have to do with this creature next."
"...Ngau..." obviously, the Dodomon sighed at his partner's helplessness.

"Don't ask us, I never got an egg, and he just hatched from one." Jackson was slightly annoyed he kept asking them for help. Especially when they said they knew nothing about eggs. But it was amusing to see him struggle with the purple blob. Shortmon seemed to be calm, but in the inside, he felt the newly found digimon was still dangerous.
"Just be sure you can handle it when it gets bigger..." The cake digimon decided to take a seat on the ground and observe the digimon. Hopefully it wouldn't cause to many problems when it evolved. Shortmon however still wasn't sure what it would be like for him to Xros with another. He hoped to try with a Guardromon, mostly because it looked like an oven.

"True, but you have the grown one," Yuuki retorted.
Geez, Yuuki, after so long I've waited for you... you're actually not up to my standard? Hey partner, where's your sense of adventure? Yuuki, why are you keep asking to other people? You can feed me or evolve me, you know! That'll be much more fun! Firsthand experience, no need to keep asking! C'mon, Partner!
Yet, despite the furball's attempt to speak to his partner, he only can make out something like 'Nga!' and nothing else. It's already annoying to be unable to convey your meaning, but Yuuki obviously treating him like a baby. Increasingly frustrated that Yuuki cannot tell what it wants and somehow being too dependent on other person that seem isn't a tamer, Dodomon bites his D-3.
"H-hey, it's not food!"
Of course I know it's not food, stupid! Dodomon mentally facepalmed and put an unamused face. Now lookie here, I want you to use this!
Handing back the device to Yuuki, Dodomon look at him hopefully
"...It's not a toy for fetch play..."
NOOOO! ARGH, YOU'RE TESTING ME RIGHT HERE, RIGHT!? YOU'RE TESTING ME, RIGHT!? I DON'T WANT TO PLAY RIGHT NOW, I WANT YOU TO USE IT!! USE IT OR I'LL BITE YOUR HAND!!
Understanding well enough that Dodomon doesn't meant that from his angry glare, Yuuki laughed nervously.
"OK, how to use this now?" he asked the purple monster.
Don't ask me. I don't know everything about a digivice. I only know it can evolve me, it can analyze stuff... Hey, that's it!
Excitedly, Dodomon grabbed the Digivice again and put it in front of him, facing to him. Soon, an analyzer appeared on the screen. Yuuki picked it up and read the information given on it.
"Dodomon, a Fresh Digimon... attribute none, family none. An aggressive baby Digimon coated with tough fur. It'll open it mouth wide and snaps them quickly as an intimidation tactic. When it doesn't work, it attacks with spitting volley of metal pebbles... 'Little Iron Beads'... sounds dangerous."
I won't harm you, you know. Sending an offended look, Dodomon jumped to Yuuki's feet.
"...So there's some sort of Digimon encyclopedia here...? But what else would be the function?"
...Now isn't it fine to ask that fella over there? Dodomon glanced at Jackson while trying to be friendly.

"He thinks that is dangerous, he should see some of the other digimon." Shortmon was enjoying seeing the young tamer frustrated. Although he wasn't sure about the digimon, he didn't have any worries about the tamer. He looked up to his general, hoping to see what he thought of the situation. All he could do though was just shrug and worry about it later.
"Before you ask, don't ask me how to work your digivice. I'm still trying to figure mine out." He held the box up in his hand, showing him how much different his was. Jackson had a little more than buttons, but had a wheel on his with some other buttons. There were some features he didn't know what to do with.

"...Yeah, the design is different afterall... Looks like I can't ask for that. I know this is incredibly late, but I'm Itou Yuuki, pleasure to meet you and thank you for your help." Yuuki bowed politely.
...You just seriously give introduction NOW!? Oh boy, I wonder what happened actually... Hmm, that guy and his Digimon seem to be different from Yuuki... That device design while looks similar to Yuuki's, it doesn't seem to be with same function...
Dodomon was busy thinking when Yuuki starting to rummaging his stuffs. Only when he pulled his D-Terminal that Dodomon saw a tasty thing. It's an opened biscuit pack! His stomach rumbling from just being born. Yuuki probably won't be mad even if he took a bit of it, right? The furball chomped the container while sucking the biscuit. Oblivious to his partner's action, Yuuki hands out his D-Terminal.
"Then, do you have this item?"
After fully eating the pack of biscuit (the wrapping and container excluded), Dodomon looks much more refreshed. Yuuki's digivice let out white bars of light at the same time. Dodomon's body glows as he began to change shape.
"Dodomon evolves! Dorimon!"
"W-Wha!?"
In place of his partner, it's seem that the Digimon has evolved.
"...I evolved...? I evolved! I did it! I can talk now!" excitedly, the Digimon jumped around. "Well now that we can hold normal conversation, you can stop nagging that guy, Yuuki. While asking might be good, there's a time enough is enough!"
