Roaring Thunder (Akio's Spirit hunt)

Alucard took notice of how Akio was now trying to calm himself by taking slow and deep breaths before asking if he was stuck like this. "Akio, you are what here in the Digital World is called a spirit wielder now. Yet you are not stuck like that permanently. As far as I know from other spirit wielders, they can become human again when they want to."
When Akio asked why he was so small Alucard replied "Digimon not only come in many shapes and sizes but also come in multiple stages of development. The stages are fresh which is the baby stage a digimon goes through after hatching from an egg. Then comes the in training, rookie, champion, ultimate, mega, and the rarely obtained super mega. Both you and Poseidon are at the rookie stage which to digimon is still a child form. I am at the champion stage. At this stage by digimon standards I would be considered a young adult but am obviously still able to progress through to the other stages. We make these transformations through a process called digivolution."
"As for why you are small, Akio. It is not uncommon for rookie digimon to be small though on rare occasions some rookies can be big. Not bigger than dad but like about as big as a human." Poseidon explained.

A spirit wielder, that's what he was now though. He may not be stuck like this, but he did'nt know how to change back. He was hoping he would eventually revert back to human eventually after a certainty amount of time has passed. So he would gently nod. Akio would sit down on the ground, hearing Alucard give him the long explanation about the stages of a Digimon. He would listen carefully, looking up the Angemon, refusing to take his eyes off of him until he was done speaking.
"Y'know, I was wondering why my voice sounded so different, I guess being a rookie explains it haha." Akio had a few minuets to calm down. It was safe to safe he was back to his cheerful self. He knew he wasn't stuck like this so why be worried anymore? Worst case scenario he would be a Digimon for a while. After listening to the Gomamon. Akio would walk over to him and say. "That makes sense. To be honest, I don't mind being small. After all, I don't have to look down to face you anymore Poseidon!" He would smile the best he could, placing a hand on top of the fellow Digimon's head for a second.
"Now that I'm over my initial shock, I think this is kind of cool. I wonder what kind of things I'll be able to do with this form."

"Well human voices don't always change when they digivolve, Akio. Guess you were one of those rare ones that do. Maybe in your stronger forms your voice will be deeper or something." Poseidon said before he continued "As for being small I don't mind it either though my higher levels I get much bigger." Poseidon then chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head with his flipper and said, "Not to mention I also get fluffier too as I digivolve."
"It's hard to say what kind of powers you'll have, Akio. Not all digimon of the same species necessarily have the same abilities. As for accessing your powers perhaps that voice that has been guiding you can help you tap into those digimon instincts of yours." Alucard said before he continued "Just bear in mind that I am no expert in humans, so I am just going by what I know regarding digimon here."
"Yeah, being a digimon is more difficult than being a human at times seeing as we not only have to learn to control potentially great power, but we also have to learn survival skills like foraging for food from a young age. All without becoming a snack by an aggressive and violent stronger digimon." Poseidon said.

"Oh really? Eh, it dose not really matter now, I'm sure I'll get used to it. I wonder how much bigger I'll get when I digievolve to a Champion." Akio would chuckle as the Gomamon patted the back of his head. He wondered what will happen to his voice if he becomes a champion level Digimon eventually, He wondered if it will actually become deeper, or if something else would happen. He too, wondered what kind of powers he would have. Hearing that he might have different ability's than other Herissmon excited him. He kind of did'nt like this voice thats been speaking to him. It did seem to have turned him into a Digimon without asking but Alucard was right.
He should ask this voice when he needs to, to tap into the Digimon's instincts. He thought it could help "I understand Alucard. I know nothing about Digimon, I appreciate that you're filling me in with a lot of stuff. You can leave the human stuff to me." After hearing Poseidon talk about what life was like. His ears would droop down a little. He felt bad for him, and could not help that he said something wrong. "I'm sorry to hear that Poseidon. It must be rough living out here as one. If you ever need help and I'm in the area, let me know and I'll be happy to help ya with whatever you need!"
Speaking of violent Digimon. He was worried that one would come here if they stayed here for too long. "Should we get out of the are? I'm worried something more dangerous will come along now that I think about it."

Poseidon chuckled before he said, "And I'm sure you'll get used to the whole being a digimon thing pretty fast." When Akio's ears drooped Poseidon then said "Aww. Don't be upset, Akio. Life as a digimon isn't that bad. I've heard humans in ancient times lived similar lives only didn't have superpowers and those ancient humans obviously did well enough if you were born. Though Dad may not admit it, like myself, he also wouldn't mind a helping hand if you are in the area."
When Akio asked if they should get out of here Alucard nodded and rose to his feet before the Angemon said "Perhaps that would be a wise idea. I think we should make our way back to mine and Poseidon's campsite for we left food behind when we heard your voice calling out. I also wouldn't be surprised if you were hungry."
"I hope you don't just stuff the food we found in your face like some humans have done. For this kind of fruit we were foraging for needs to be cooked first." Poseidon said remembering hearing of how humans learned the hard way not to eat a raw meat apple.

"I hope I get used to being a Digimon. It'll just take some time time to get used to having fur and all of that." He wasn't sure how long it would take to get used to it, but he would imagine it would take some time. he would be happy to give both of them a hand, not just Poseidon, but Alucard as well. The Herissmon already wanted to consider them friends, but he had a feeling they wern't quite there yet. "Yeah, the past of humans is odd, I'll have tell you guys about it sometime, and of course. I'll be happy to help the both of you out when I'm in the area!" Akio would smile.
The sound of having food at a campsite made his ears perk back up. Now that he thought about it, he was kind of hungry. He raised his claws up passively when Poseidon told him not to stuff his face. "Don't worry, I can wait to eat till you two are done cooking."

"Probably would take some time getting used to the quills on your back too. As for the fur the most trouble I've had involved getting burs stuck in it. I'm just glad my fur is waterproof which makes sense seeing as I look like one of those animals from the Human World called a Sea Lion." Poseidon said scrunching his face at the brief memory of getting thorny burs in his fur. Boy was he glad he had his father Alucard to help him reach the ones he couldn't get at.
"Human history may be strange but I'm sure there are parts of Digital World history that are pretty strange too given as weird seems to be the norm here at times." Poseidon said with a light chuckle.
Alucard began leading the group back to the campsite and after a while the trio soon came upon the bag Alucard dropped and there were a few meat apples laying on the ground. Looking down at Poseidon, Alucard said "Poseidon, start a campfire while I get the meat apples prepared for being cooked."
Poseidon nodded and quietly got to work and soon there was a campfire roaring. Then Alucard put the meat apples over the fire on wooden steaks so they could cook without falling into the fire. Soon the food would be ready.

Quills? That's right, he was a hedgehog after all. He wasn't having any trouble with them right now. Now that he thought about it. He would imagine the quills could be quite a problem, and he assumed he couldn't exactly lay down on his back if he had quills. The thought of getting burs stuck in his fur sounded annoying. He hoped he would not have to worry about that anytime soon. "Burs sound annoying. I would imagine it would be annoying to get them in places you can't reach. You do look like a Sea Lion. You reminded me of one when i first saw you."
Akio would chuckle along with Poseidon. "Yeah, I'm sure the history in both worlds is a bit weird. The three of them began walking back to the campsite together. During that time, he walked next to the Gomamon, trying to get used to walking as a Herissmon. He was doing fine, just felt a bit odd. After they arrived, Akio would sit down as the two began cooking. When the food was ready, he would walk over to the two of them.

"Yeah, burs are pretty annoying but when you have someone to help you out, they aren't that bad in the long run." Poseidon said. He then said, "Speaking of digimon resembling things in the Human World there are other digimon that resemble Human World animals or even creatures from their mythologies which shows how close the two worlds are."
Alucard quietly tended to the meat apples while Akio and Poseidon were talking and soon the smell of cooked meat filled the air before Alucard said, "Looks like patience has paid off because the meat apples are done cooking."
Poseidon bounced with excitement before the young Gomamon said "Yay! I didn't want to say anything before but boy am I hungry. Must just be the demanding appetite and metabolism some digimon are known to have. Akio if you want to return to being a human maybe after we all eat, we can figure out how to do that."

"I never knew that our two worlds were so close to one another. though to be fair, I never knew this world existed into today." Akio chuckled again. This was quite a turn events. Who knew he would travel to another world and become one of the creatures there. Digimon dis seemed to be similar to other creatures and the like. Alucard clearly looked like an Angel, Poseidon resembled a Sealion, and he himself looked like a hedgehog. "Yeah, that seems to be a case. You mentioned earlier you look like a Sea Lion. I look look a Hedgehog from the human world now that I'm a Herissmon."
The Herissmon enhoyed talking to Posiedon. He felt like he made a new friend. The two of them seemed to get along really well. It would only be a matter of time until the smell of cooked food filled the air. If he wasn't hungry earlier, he was hungry now. He too would bounce with excitement along with the Gomamon. "Yeah I'm starving! It smells really good! Sure, we can try to figure out how to make me human again after we all eat, that sounds like a great idea." Akio seemed to be a little impatient as he waited for the food but was doing his best to stay polite.

"I guess it is surprising how many similarities beings from two different worlds can have huh? I mean despite some of the wild forms digimon can take most of them are people just like you humans, Akio. Only a small percent of digimon are feral." Poseidon said chuckling as Akio brought up how he looked like a hedgehog. Whatever that was. What's a hedgehog?"
"A hedgehog is a small quill covered mammals that look a lot like Akio's rookie form but walk on four legs. Read it in a human book once." Alucard explained as he began handing out meat apples to everyone.
Alucard grinned briefly as he watched Poseidon and Akio interact with each other. In their travels Alucard knew his son didn't always have a chance to just spend time with another kid close to his age despite what Poseidon's super youthful holosuit suggested. If anything, the young Gomamon was more along the lines of a boy in his early teens at youngest maturity wise.

"Yeah, it is surprising that our worlds are pretty similar, but thats a good thing. That just means we have much more in common than we might think!" Akio would say cheerfully. Akio was really enjoying the conversation he was having with Poseidon. He hasn't made a new friend in well, years. That, and he's moved from all of his freinds that were in Northern Japan since he had to move to Shibuya. The Herissmon would nod in response to hearing the gomamon said that only a small percentage of Digimon were feral. He was about to explain to Poseidon what an hedgehog was but Alucard beat him do it. That was fine with him.
"Yeah, what Alucard said. its a small animal covered with quills" Akio himself was in his late teens, almost an adult. He was mature, but he was very energetic and talkative, which wasn't too common with the people he knew. Akio would began eating the meat apple once Alucard handed them out. He thought these were pretty good, but he decided to wait before saying anything. He just did not want to be rude and talk with his mouth full.

"That's a good point. I like that humans and digimon are so similar at least beneath the surface anyway. Shame things like prejudice causes trouble in both worlds. If there was no such thing as prejudice, then both worlds would have a bit less trouble. What probably is worse though are the occasional truly evil digimon. Hopefully you won't have to deal with some of the nastier ones till you are a bit stronger, Akio."
"So, if a hedgehog is just as Dad said they must be quite the sight in the Human World. Maybe I should look into books and websites in the Human World so I can learn more about the animals that live there." Poseidon said with a smile as he began eating eagerly.
Alucard grinned again as he politely ate while watching the boys. He might not admit such a thing out loud, but he enjoyed those quieter moments where he could spend time with others. Especially his son Poseidon. Akio seemed to be a good kid and that Alucard definitely appreciated as some teens could be a handful.

Akio continued to eat as he listened to Poseidon. It was very unfortunate, that prejudice plagued the two worlds. He would nod, agreeing with the fellow Digimon. That would be one less thing to worry about if Prejudice did'nt exist but it did. The sound of hearing that he might encounter truly evil Digimon made his ears droop again. It was a scary thought. He wasn't ready to meet Digimon like that. He needed to get stronger, to prepare in case something like that did happen. "Yeah, we would have less things to worry about, that's for sure. I really do hope I can get stronger in case I do encounter Digimon like that Poseidon. Its scary to think about."
On a brighter note, Akio thought it would be a great idea for Poseidon to learn about animals of the human world. "You should, it's a good idea! There's plenty of things you can learn by reading books or by going on the internet. It could be fun." The Herissmon would continue to eat, soon finishing his meat apple. He was a fast eater, and it showed. He seemed to have enjoyed it though.

Poseidon took notice of how Akio's ears were drooping and his antenna like ears drooped as well. Then the young Gomamon said "I'm sorry, Akio. I didn't mean to make you upset or even maybe frighten you. However, I do believe with some hard work you should be able to get stronger. Makes me wonder what you will look like at higher levels. Who knows, perhaps one of them will surprise you by being something you wouldn't expect."
"If there is one trait Poseidon inherited from my data is his love of learning. I agree learning more about the Human World could not only be beneficial to him but myself as well. This is why we make the occasional trip to the Human World. Good thing there is technology here in the form of holosuits so digimon can explore the Human World without possibly causing a panic." Alucard said before he continued "Akio, it seems you really like those meat apples. If you want more help yourself. I may not be much of a cook, but I do well enough to get by."
