"How do You know My name?"
A kitten that could speak human words didn't feel out of place at all. Leon looked at the fierce-looking Digimon and nodded with satisfaction.
No matter how cute Digimon are, they are born for battle, a pure combat race.
"Digimon, a precious Holy-type Champion Digimon, am I right?"
Digimon looked at Leon, truly unable to understand why Leon knew so much, and immediately arched its back, preparing to subdue Leon first.
Leon naturally saw Digimon's intention and said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry to act…"
"You are following Vampiremon's orders to find the eighth Chosen Child, aren't You?"
Digimon froze for a moment, then stared at Leon and asked, "Do You know where the eighth child is?"
Then, it reacted and looked at Kari beside Leon.
"She is the eighth Chosen Child!!"
Leon clapped his hands and laughed, "As expected of a Champion Digimon, Your reaction speed is fast. However, You should also know that all Chosen Children have their own Digimon. Guess where this eighth Digimon is?"
Digimon looked at the cute Kari, and for some reason, its heart felt an inexplicable pang of sadness. It felt like crying.
Shaking its head to Throw this strange thought from its mind, it said with cold eyes, "As long as the eighth Chosen Child is dealt with, her Digimon will be useless."
Saying that, it leaped forcefully and quickly rushed towards Leon.
"Meowth Punch!!"
When Digimon jumped up, Leon had already taken out his shield and was ready.
A series of striking sounds rang out.
'Repair… Repair…'
Digimon's strength was relatively weak among Champion Digimon, but it was still a Champion Digimon. The durability of the shield in Leon's hand was like a pulsating audio bar, constantly fluctuating between broken and intact.
Digimon retreated after one failed attack.
"Human, You can actually block My attack?!"
Leon looked at Digimon with an unhappy expression and said, "You want to deal with the eighth Chosen Child, why are You attacking Me?? Shouldn't You be attacking her??"
Kari: "???"
Digimon was also stunned. It didn't know why it subconsciously chose to attack Leon instead of Yagami Kari. However, being arrogant as it was, how could it admit its mistake? It immediately said fiercely:
"Hmph, I just think You are a threat. After I deal with You, I'll deal with her."
Leon knew that it was unwise to fight head-on with Digimon with his current strength, so he chose to talk. Looking at Digimon, who was preparing to attack again, he said with a smile, "Digimon, think carefully, who exactly are You waiting for?"
Digimon, who had already jumped up, heard Leon's words, and some images suddenly flashed in its mind. Its body landed in front of Leon and Kari without reacting.
The appearance of these images made it feel even more uncomfortable, and tears flowed uncontrollably from its eyes.
Leon's talking continued. He looked at Digimon and said softly, "Think about Your mission, think about when You were Snow Ball Beast, Plotmon, and Salamon, what exactly were You looking for?"
"Wake up, Digimon, You are the Chosen Digimon, which means Kari's partner…"
At this moment, Kari spoke up and asked, "Uncle, what does Chosen Child mean? Is Digimon Kari's Digimon? Like my brother's Koromon?"
"You and Your brother are children chosen by the Digital World to save the world. It's just that at that time, a total of eight Digimon eggs were saved by Xuannei Old Man, but they were attacked by Vampiremon during the escape, causing Your Digimon egg to be lost. It has been looking for You since it hatched."
"It's just that the time flow in the two worlds is different. For You, it's only a short day, but for Digimon, it's many years."
Kari's eyes reddened upon hearing this. Her small mind couldn't understand too much, but she could imagine Digimon searching for her alone (cat?).
Being kind-hearted, she took two steps forward. Leon wanted to reach out and stop her, but then he thought about the bond between Digimon and Kari, so he didn't stop her, only remaining fully alert.
Kari opened her arms and hugged Digimon, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't know You were looking for Me… From now on, let's not be separated, okay?"
Digimon's body stiffened, and its originally fierce and unyielding eyes softened. The moment it was hugged by Kari, its closed heart instantly shattered, and all its memories flooded into its mind.
Then…
Then Digimon cried like a child, bursting into tears.
"I… I remember, I am the Chosen Digimon, Kari, I… I looked for You so hard, woo woo… woo woo…"
A cat and a little girl cried, tears streaming down their faces.
Standing beside them, Leon felt his own heart touched, and his eyes reddened slightly.
Thinking about it now, Digimon's life in the Digital World was really miserable.
Leon squatted down and reached out to stroke Digimon's head. Feeling Digimon's soft and smooth fur, his eyes instantly lit up.
'The feel is so good?!!'
Anyone who has petted a cat knows that petting a cat is truly addictive.
But before he could feel it again, Digimon suddenly reacted, raised its head, glared at him fiercely, and slapped his hand away with its paw.
"Nasty human, don't touch Me."
Leon: "…"
What a hateful kitten, but I still really want to pet it a few more times.
Digimon then showed a worried expression and said, "Kari, You must leave here. Vampiremon is looking for You…"
"Leave? Where? Where can we go?"
Leon's words made Digimon fall silent. If Vampiremon wasn't defeated, Vampiremon would never let Kari go.
"Oh, by the way, Digimon, You should have the fake evolution key, right?"
The urgent matter now was to find Kari's holy plan, but Leon wasn't sure if Kari's holy plan had been taken by a crow.
Digimon looked at Leon and asked, "Why do You know I have an evolution key here?"
Saying that, Digimon took out the fake evolution key from its glove.
"I know a lot of things. Alright, Kari, You and Digimon go home first and see if You can find the holy plan. As long as the evolution key is close to the holy plan, it will emit light. You should know this, Digimon."
Digimon is a Champion Digimon, and its intelligence is probably around sixteen or seventeen years old, fully capable of understanding Leon's words.
When it evolves to its Ultimate form…
Tsk tsk…
Digimon saw Leon's gaze and inexplicably felt like it was being targeted.
"Hey, Your gaze is really annoying."
Leon came back to his senses, cleared his throat twice to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Ahem, You two should hurry back. Kari, if there's danger, don't forget to use the key. Bye-bye."
Saying that, Leon summoned a wooden door and left the Park.
Seeing him leave like that, Digimon was very surprised and looked at Kari beside it, asking, "Kari, how do You know him? Do humans also have special abilities?"
