School was boring, like usual, but it had long since passed for the day. She hated being so young, such a child that had to listen to all the teachers who thought they knew it all; while she did what she was told- for the most part -she was part of the majority who counted the seconds until they were all let out. Despite her year and so in Japan she was still getting used to the culture of it all. There wasn’t a week that she forgot to stand and greet the teachers when they came in to teach, forget that she didn’t have to change classes or how much yen she needed to pay for lunch. Everything was all new and exciting but damn was it a pain to remember and get used to. Her father assured her, with time, she would get used to it but she would still like to skip those awkward moments when all her classmates would laugh at her silly ‘american mistake’.

Unlike the countless days roaming around the busy districts of Japan until her mother blew up her phone with calls to come back home AdeLie Gray had plans. A student- Ryan Karasu -and herself had planned to meet up later that day after school to spar with their Digimon partners and it was a challenge that the girl happily took with a little more competitive spirit than needed. Shoving the books into her bag and waving off her friends AdeLie took off to their planned location by train with Therese in her arms, the yellow armadillo Digimon questioning her tamer all the way to the train.
[break][break]
The busy city quickly changed in the windows as the train sped to its designated stops, the young student watching the scenery go by as Therese began to speak. “So you agreed to meet up with some random boy to fight in a forest?” she asked, head resting on the nodding girls lap. “What if we get lost or something happens?” AdeLie grimaced, sighing with frustration to the question before looking down at her partner. “We’ll be fine, don’t worry so much. You sound like mom.” she began, “plus i have a cellphone and you, we’ll be fine.” With a moment of silence the Armadillomon nodded, knowing best not to push an issue that may upset her tamer.
[break][break]
It hadn’t taken too long to get to the Shirakami-Sanchi forest from the nearest station by her school, and after an embarrassing moment of mispronouncing the name of the place to a local who she had asked for help AdeLie was happy to be so far away. ‘I need to start getting used to this place faster...’ she thought, grabbing Therese off her lap once her stop came. Exiting the doors and entering the station AdeLie sighed, happy to be off the train and able to move her feet before placing the Digimon down to walk the rest of the way. “I don’t know where exactly we’re meeting but it shouldn’t be too far.” she began as she headed forward with her partner right beside, “I mean- I doubt there’s a bunch of kids running around this place so finding him should be easy.”

NOTES: Hope it's alright, might have rushed it a little bit :/

Ryan had dipped out on school early once again. He just needed to get away from the stuffy classrooms, noisy students and lecturing teachers. It was enough to make his skin crawl with anxiety from being locked up there day after day. He decided to walk to the forest in order to clear his head, even though it was rather far he figured it would be a couple hours before AdeLie would even get out of class and hop on a train meaning he would get there with some time to spar by just walking. He was not alone either, Zero his Digimon partner was walking by his side and keeping him company. The two of them were mostly quiet s Zero seemed to share a similar calm, cool and collective personality - however the Digimon was far more curious and spontaneous compared to Ryan whom was more laid back and composed.

Skipping out on school was costing him some major points and he would often get scolded by his teachers, but he could care less really. The classes bored him after all, they were not challenging. As a sixteen year old in high school he had already taken most of the subjects he needed for graduation. All of the subjects he even needed to bother with was in the morning, in the afternoon it was rather pointless since he often just helped teachers and students with computer subjects and teachings. Some may have called him lazy and a procrastinator since he often did not even do his homework, but he was still doing well in school since tests weighed so much higher than everything and he never had a problem acing them - which only infuriated his instructors even more.

His mind was no longer on school, his focus from school had shifted ever since he became a tamer. Zero the BlackAgumon was a piece of him now and he had changed the world around him for the better. The world itself was changing after all, it was not the same and it would not be the same with the Digimon invading the human world - both good and bad. Many individuals saw it as a disaster, but most of them were unfortunate enough to not know the bond that could be shared with a partner Digimon. Ryan looked over at Zero and the BlackAgumon looked back up at him with a slight smirk. The teenage boy was more than happy to have this new friend, but it did raise a question - just what was their purpose and what did destiny hold in store for them? What was the fate of the Digimon and their Tamers along with the other Digimon that wandered throughout the world?

It was perplexing to say the least, but as he thought about it the entire time he walked he could not begin to piece together the outcome of the future. Soon his thoughts shifted to AdeLie as he found himself at the forest. The two of them had not really known each other all that well, they were friendly acquaintances in school which perhaps blossomed more into a friendship when they both became tamers. It had been his idea that they meet at the forest for some training. Even if there was no way of knowing what was to come Ryan thought it was best to be prepared - plus it would only strengthen the bond they had with their Digimon.

Standing at the entrance to the Forest he had his hands deep in the pockets of his jeans as Zero stood next to him and kept a watchful eye. "There they are!" Zero exclaimed and started to wave his claws in the air to get their attention. Ryan looked and saw them coming from the direction of the train station. He removed his right hand from his pocket and waved toward AdeLie and acknowledged her with a slight nod, but other than that he stood and waited for her and Armadillomon to join the two of them.

She had always hated school- to some extent -and skipping classes had always crossed her mind, however when her mother, step-dad and herself took the leave from america to japan she found that the watchful eyes of two parents were far more keen than just one. Plus, while she wasn’t used to it and staying cooped up in one room was a bore, her new school was keeping her entertained enough to not risk getting caught leaving school early or before it even started to explore more lively places Japan had to offer. The major cities were more of her thing, not because of all the shops and entertainment places they housed but just due to the busy nature of it all, the need to keep moving and places she could explore around. Yet despite that here she was on her off time, walking off the platform of the train to a place that was just the opposite of something like Tokyo or Kyoto.
[break][break]
Calm places like the forest were all fine to AdeLie so long as she was doing something, and besides, the place of the small get together hadn’t been decided by her but rather the boy she’d be meeting here. From what she had figured out and assumed off the little she knew of the boy she highly doubted he’d be thrilled to go somewhere so busy like Tokyo, plus having a small sparring match in the middle of a shopping district wouldn’t have probably went so well.
[break][break]
AdeLie scanned over the area before quickly catching sight of the boy she would be meeting and the rather excited Digimon beside him trying to catch their attention. She smiled, waving back to the pair before quickening her pace to meet them where they stood, her partner following swiftly behind her in small leaps. “Well don’t trouble yourselves with meeting us halfway,” she laughed once she stood in front of the tamer and his Digimon, “we wouldn’t want you to treat a lady all nice now would we.”
[break][break]
“Did you ditch school to get here first? Or do you know some super secret japanese sho-” AdeLie began, going off on the first fleeting thought she had before the small cough of her Digimon cut her off. She rolled her eyes, teetering back on the heels of her shoes as she began to speak again. “That’s Therese, my partner.” a small finger pointed down to the Armadillomon at the girls feet, an expression of success of getting her Tamer to introduce her showing on its face. “She can kind of a buzzkill and reminds me of an older sister I never had, but she’s a pretty cool Digimon to have.” AdeLie said, smiling down at the yellow creature with the same expression of success in her eyes before turning her attention back to the boy and his partner.
[break][break]
“So-” she tilted her body a little, pointing at the boy before trailing her finger down to the Black Agumon at his side as he spoke. “I know Ryan, sorta, but what about this little guy. Whats your name?”

NOTES: just some small talk before the sparring session

The young teen held a rather intense expression as he observed the female tamer, who was also a classmate of his, and her partner Digimon. Destiny had chosen both of them to play a part in the events surrounding the human world and digital world. Each tamer had a part to play, big or small was probably up to them and it also depended on their own personal goals and views. So just what type of tamer was AdeLie? She certainly seemed innocent and kind enough, she certainly was cute and sweet to boot but appearances could always be deceiving. Ryan himself was a very unassuming person but he had hidden talents and intellect just like everyone else. No one truly knew what was on his mind or what he would actually be capable of - that was the scary variable of humans, they are just as unpredictable as these wild Digimon.

His expression broke and softened though as AdeLie teased him. His eyes wavered as his mouth formed into a small opening as if he was going to say something, but all he managed was a small "uh..." before he was interrupted by AdeLie who was in turn interrupted by her Digimon. Ryan's gaze fell from the girl and down to the Armadillomon, his expression still somewhat apologetic. There was a slight flush on his cheeks simply because the forwardness of this tamer had caught him off guard and made him feel awkward and foolish - overall though he was at a lost of words and tied up in his own bewilderment. Zero the BlackAgumon just blinked and looked back and forth between the expression on Ryan's face and AdeLie. He was a bit confused himself as to why his tamer seemed to be so disarmed.

Clearing his throat though, Raven did his best to regain his composure as he scratched at the back of his head. "Right, sorry about all of that and dragging you out here...but yeah I did cut out early." Giving her a small smirk he placed his hands back into the pockets of his jeans and leaned back against the tree he was standing in front of. Motioning with his head toward his left side he spoke once again, "this right here is my partner, BlackAgumon."

"The name is Zero!" The BlackAgumon exclaimed as he tried to look fierce and raised his claws, staring at the Armadillomon now.

Ryan just shook his head, "don't mind him he is just eager to spar. That's why I invited you here today. Seeing as we are both tamers I thought we could work together and practice and what not. There is nothing wrong with being prepared for the day when we might have to deal with a wild or roaming Digimon. Plus it's kind of hard to ignore the fact that we go to the same school and both have Digimon partners...it would be kind of weird if we did not get to know each other a little bit after having something so major in common."

She had never hung out with Ryan before this, nor had their time together in school be all that different than brief moments passing each other in the hall or the occasional question directed to the whole class or immediate group which he was in. However despite that AdeLie had always held some interest in the boy due to his name; hearing something that reminded her of america was nice, even if it was just a name of a classmate she had never spoken to in length. It was the little things that helped the culture shift settle and- while she wasn’t going to say anything -AdeLie was appreciative of him, which was one of the reasons why AdeLie didn’t complain or think twice to saying no to his request to meet him all the way out here for a sparring match.
[break][break]
Too focused on watching the Digimon beside the boy AdeLie hadn’t caught the flushed look on his face, and if she had she would have asked about it. Instead her eyes fell up and down the Digimon, analyzing it the best she could; while being a tamer meant their life was so closely intertwined with these interesting creatures AdeLie had never seen many, at least not from a distance when passing through large cities. AdeLie smiled at Ryans unneeded apology, laughing a little before shaking her head to him, “there’s no need to apologize cool guy. I’ve never been to this part of Japan before, and it’s a change of pace from Tokyo that’s for sure.”
[break][break]
Therese, turning her attention from her sociable tamer to the BlackAgumon raising its claws to it, scoffed at the Digimons action, amused by its show. “Cool it there big shot, you should hold off until we start our spar.” Therese teased, shaking her head before slamming her boney tail against the ground behind her, “you have good energy, I’ll give you that- and tall, though everyone is tall to me so that’s not much of a compliment.”
[break][break]
Pretending to be shocked, eyes widening and mouth parted behind her covering hand, AdeLie spoke, “you mean.. this isn’t a date! Ryan, how could you lead a girl on like that!” She laughed after a second, unable to keep up her poor excuse of a facade as she smiled. “I gotcha, but I’m not sure how well Therese and I are are sparing really… We’ve never fought anything before.” she said, glancing away from Ryan and to the Armadillomon who met her gaze. “The only thing close to fighting we’ve done was running away from this really rowdy man in Chinatown who got pissed when we accidentally broke something in his store and he thought I shorted him on the money to replace it.” her lips pursed, “it’s not my fault I’m not used to using yen. I went back the next day to put more money on the counter when he was out, but he still glares at us whenever he sees us pass by.”
[break][break]
Lost in thought of the memory for a second longer than she should have Therese spoke up in behalf of her tamer. The Armadillomon turned her attention from the Digimon to the boy, “so- where are we going to spar? We should head away from the station to avoid damaging anything we can’t pay for.”
