44 Trip to The Village of Beginnings

  It’s a dream I and many others had during childhood, having a Pokemon/Digimon. While more probably wanted the former over the dder, once you grow up and start thinking about it, you realize how dangerous both worlds would be in a real-world setting. For a human, living in either universe wouldn't be the greatest.

  Both probably have bullet resilience, with Pokemon likely being on the lower end. Rock, Ground, and Steel type Pokemon were probably resistant until heavy artillery and missile fire. You could also say that Pokemon have incredible resilience, being able to unleash and receive moves like Giga Impact or Hyper Beam. And in a world where your pet electric rat can release 100,000 volts, a gun would seem more like a toy by comparison. Let's not even get into the Dragons and other strange abilities.

  You could argue that Digimon was worse because they are more synthetic than natural. They grew semi-biologically through incorporating data. This data then determines their coming evolutions. Through this incorporation, a sizeable number started to obtain metallic/bionic limbs in their ter evolutions (If they weren’t already made of metal). And when one side develops automated guided missile systems the other would have to evolve to compete.

  Aside from legendries, the number of Pokemon who can destroy a mountain was comparatively limited. But it's not just Legendaries like Kyogre and Groudon who can control the weather. That is if a Pokemon using Rain Dance for a long enough time wouldn't cause equivalent devastation. Decimating an entire ecosystem seems simple for just about every Water type that could learn the move. Or any Pokemon that could learn other weather-altering moves. When you think about it like that, it becomes a little harder to compare them to a pet like a dog and not a force of nature. Floods, droughts, snow, or hailstorms that sted for as long as the Pokemon deemed.

  By comparison, a sizable number of Digimon were world-ending camities (some by just existing). Some became truly gargantuan towards these final evolutions. Their power grows in proportion to their immense size. With many Ultimate and Mega level Digimon capable of nuking a country off the map. However, the number that actually reached that point was less than 1%, they still had finite lifespans and required the consumption of enough viable data. Most typically end at their adult/champion stage.

  While the Pokemon world had achieved what looks to be post-scarcity through cooperation with Pokemon and utilizing them to harvest abundant resources and infinite naturally restoring electricity, living in the past before this cooperation was achieved sounds like a nightmare. And it didn't stop the occasional (common) natural disasters caused by a group of angry Pokemon or a Legendary.

  (Snorx ate the vilge storehouse: Looks like we starve, ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ)

  As for The Digital World, it was (mostly) separate from normal people - in most of the universe's continuities, and when it was that only until something happened and Digimon started coming over. A common plot of the series.

  In all, neither would be the greatest to live in as a human.

  While I could take a random Digiegg from an image, that feels really boring and I wanted some amount of randomness.

  I wanted my own Digimon, and I wanted it to be unique... Honestly, I just wanted to stroll around on the Otherside in the digital world. I only intend on taking one Digimon so there shouldn’t be any problems. It'll only be a baby after all.

  As for what I get, I’ll leave it to fate.

  For where I had to go, all Digimon reincarnate after death reverting into digieggs after they die and restarting at The Vilge of Beginnings. Looking at the images I found online I eventually settled on one.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]I added it to a video editor, and then by adding my finger and a few hours, I started to fast-forward. Doing so the scene started to change.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Seeing that the toy block skyscrapers had decreased in number I continued to add more time, and the scene continued changing again and again. Once I hit the Twelve-hour mark, I cut the st image and added it back to the editor, repeating the process. I had quickly fast-forwarded a week's time (168 hours), and the scene had changed completely.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]The test scene looked vastly different from what I started with. Kinda weird...But, "I think I'll go with this one." Removing the image from the editor I brought it up on the TV, before passing through to a buzzy static sensation.

  Taking stock of myself there didn't seem to be anything wrong (I thought I would be leaking 1's and 0's but that doesn't seem to be the case). I didn't feel like anything was off.

  With my body fine I looked around at the nearby environment. There were trees filled with both fruit and children's toys hanging from their branches, rge toy building blocks with various symbols scattered about or stacked into towers. In the distance, they formed walls that separated certain areas from one another.

  Looking down I felt my whole body tighten reflexively seeing the green grid-like pattern of the ground. "Yeah, that’s gonna stick with me for a bit."

  The ground was made up of a grid pattern with the lines a darker green than the center of the squares.

  Taking a few steps on the strange terrain, I thought everything was okay, until my foot sunk into one of the squares, resulting in a mild panic on my part. Once I calmed down, I found that the center of certain squares was bouncy like a trampoline, so I started bouncing my way across the ndscape.

  "Haha! Hahahaha!" (I needed this).

  I couldn't stop ughing as I bounced across the winding green grid hills and valleys avoiding the toy block walls.

  Cresting a taller hill, I stopped looking down into the valley below. It looked like a farm with lots of eggs instead of crops. Some eggs were pin colors, some had hearts or stars, some had polka dots or stripes, and some had rings. Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, they dotted the grassy ndscape. There were big and small eggs, and they stretched on into the distance.

  "Which way?" I looked out from the top of the hill for any ndmarks. Besides the towers of toy blocks, there were only trees with the occasional fern. Looking off into the distance I spotted a rge tree. Trampolining my way over I passed by hundreds of eggs.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Once I was close enough, this tree appeared to be the centerpiece of this area, it was a few stories tall, surrounded by bushes covered in eggs, and it shined light throughout the area. "I don't think what I want is going to be in that direction, it's too bright." Looking around this new area I spotted a forest where the trees were closer together than anywhere else.

  Bouncing my way over, I abruptly came to a halt when the ground suddenly lost its bounce, it seems I would have to walk from here.

  Walking through the growing forested area, the square terrain here started to become grassy instead of the bouncy ones.

  The number of toy-fruiting trees started to increase as the rge blocks became more occasional. Inside this strange forest, I spied various green eggs.

  "No not them." These would all be pnt or insect-type.

  I continued deeper into the forest, and it started to get darker. Soon new colors of eggs started to appear. Gray and Purple.

  Wandering these lost woods I soon found an odd lone tree. It was in a secluded area away from the others, a particurly dark and shaded section. When I arrived before it I spotted a Digiegg sitting leaning against its trunk. It was an otherwise simple grey egg that had several spikes sticking from its shell.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]“You.” Of all the many thousands of eggs dotting the ndscape, this was the one I was led to. It’s an odd feeling but I don't know if I'd call it a connection. It's far less direct than the Bloodborn and less magical than the wand.

  Pcing the blue Dim card into the Digivice and pressing the bottom button the egg converted into a green scaffold before it was sucked into the watch and a smiling face with horns appeared on the blue card.

  Turning away from the tree, holding out my hand, "Are you faster?" Seeing the screen appear before me somewhat faster than usual.

  "Feeling bad about what you did"?

  "...What am I doing taunting the screen?" Passing through the screen I was once again inside the Capsule House.

  Standing by the table I pressed the top two buttons activating the Digivice-V's area digitization function allowing for Digimon to materialize physically outside of the Digital World. Then pressing the bottom and left buttons, a bright glow was released as a round egg-shaped object materialized out of the device. It started as nothing but a green scaffold but soon the dark gray texture appeared on its surface as did the spikes that scattered around the shell. Grabbing it from the air while it floated, I pced it on the table.

  "Hehe" (The spikes help keep it upright).

  Now what to do while I wait for it to hatch?

  END

  Hummm... Perhaps I essayed a little too hard in the beginning.

  Anyway, what do you think will hatch from the egg?
