Tamersona Day 1: First Encounter

{I know this is already late, and I have a million other things to be doing but I cannot resist these prompts! I’ve imagined my own Digital adventure for so fucking long!}

My name is...Well, just call me Zae, that’s what everyone knows me as. I’m twenty four and have a job and a giant red beetle living in woods a few blocks from my home. I know, how does a twenty four year old have a giant red beetle, and how did I get it.

I guess I should start at the beginning,huh? Well, there’s a bit of a problem with that and that problem is that I simply don’t remember the beginning. Not very well at least. Most of what I remember feels more like a dream than something that really happened to me, and that might be because I mostly know the story through Kuwagamon’s retelling.

Okay. Here it goes.

Kuwagamon says I was seven, but I think I might have actually been five. Apparently, my twin sister and I were playing in the backyard with our older sister when the Digimon arrived. He says he was Kunemon back then, and that my sisters also were playing with Digimon who probably are their partners as well. I haven’t brought this up to them yet because, well I’m still pretty convinced that this is some kind of coma dream- remind me to ask them if they’ve encountered some big monsters that claim we played together as children.

And...Yeah, that’s pretty much it, our first encounter was pretty much just us playing all day. I think I remember chasing Kunemon under the shed in the backyard and getting really scared when he seemed to get stuck, but it turned out that it was just a joke. I definitely remember being mad at him for it, but not mad enough that I didn’t share my dinner with him.

This is the part that just doesn’t seem like it could have really happened, I mean, I’ve heard that people can really block out traumatic memories, but still you’d think I would remember something as important as being attacked by a really big Digimon. 

I don’t know who, and Kuwagamon says he never cared to find out who it was, my sisters and I had invited our Digimon friends inside to sleep for the night. It must have been passed midnight when they woke us up and warned us that something was coming. Kuwagamon says it was pitch black out, which seems a little odd because it’s never pitch black where we live because of the light pollution from the bit city next to our smaller one.

Kuwagamon says that he Digivolved for the first time to protect me that night, but in order to keep the Digimon who was trying to hurt our world from doing any damage, he and my sister’s Digimon needed to take him back to their own. He says I cried, and even though I don’t remember, I believe him. He promised he’d find a way to meet back up with me no matter how long it took. 

Kuwagamon told me that after they returned to their world, the Digimon split up to look for a way back to the real world. In that time he Digivolved from Kunemon to Kuwagamon without my help so that seems to be his default form now, though occasionally he’ll use too much power and degenerate. I have to admire his dedication, he spent at least ten years looking for me. Makes me feel really bad that I don’t remember him as well as he remembers me.

I guess I’m still a little bit in denial? I mean, why now? If I was really meant to be a Digidestined and fight beside Kuwagamon, shouldn’t I have gone with him to the Digital World or something? Saving the world is a lot more work when you need to be home in time for your next shift at work.
