"This seems as good a place as any..."

Stopping short of a small open area, Amanda lowered her book-bag from over her shoulder, turning her gaze towards the large headed creature that was trailing behind her. Though the sight of him munching on a candy bar did cause her to release a sigh before returning to unpacking the things in which she had brought for their time out in the woods. She wished that he would take the situation a bit more seriously, rather than in the manner of it being causal. Grunt didn't seem to understand anything about their venture today, nor was it likely that even after she explained it, would he be any more enlightened. He was indeed that simple minded, lovable, but often it drove her right up the wall.

"Cool...So...why did we come out here again? Are we going camping? OH PLEASE TELL ME WE'RE CAMPING!!"

Jumping up slightly, he accidentally dropped the partially wrapped treat from in between his claws, looking down upon it with sadness.

"No we aren't camping...We're out here because we need to find an outlet for you..."

Looking towards the teen as her back remained turned to him, a devious grin came over his face before reaching down towards the now grounded candy, picking it up as he spoke.

"An outlet...Why do I need one of those?"

Frowning, Amanda closed her eyes as she recalled the previous day that resulted in a fire within their kitchen. It had been due to the Digimon attempted to help cook. Despite her telling him that a certain roasted chicken was finished, Grunt had taken it upon himself to be sure it was completely cooked to a burnt charcoal black. When her dad had come home, he'd come to find the two standing outside on the poach, the door and all the windows to their apartment opened wide to the night as smoke still came from their home. This action, as well as a long lecture, had prompted the teenager to take the creature out into the woods. It was isolated, hardly one for any real tourist or visitors as far as she knew, and it would allow him to let out his pent up aggressions and energy against more..suited opponents.

"Because I really don't want to have to hear my dad explain to the Fire Marshall that we're keeping a fire breathing lizard within our apartment and hes incapable of controlling his abilities. You have to be able to listen to me Grunt...Otherwise we'll just get into more trouble..."

Looking over her shoulder, she could see the digimon stuffing his face rapidly what had remained of the chocolate bar, sucking the tips of his claws before blinking towards her with a blank expression.

"Heyyy...That wasn't my fault...You said that your dad liked extra crispy..."

Kneeling down, the girl simply groaned as she continued to work on unloading her belongings. For this little trip, she had taken a bucket, some blankets, and two lunchboxes for the two of them. The bucket being for any fires that they may start and for a means of stopping them. The blankets for in case they wanted to sit down, and the lunches were just when they got hungry. If she was right, they'd be back towards home close to dinnertime.

"Never mind Grunt...I swear sometimes...."

Grunt snickered nervously, walking around towards where his tamer seemed to be working. Looking down, he could see she was attempting to go over what appeared to be a list, causing him to lower his head directly into hers.

"So...Is lunch part of my outlet too? Cause I can so work up out my energy with lunch!"

Narrowing her eyes, the girl gently pushed the dinosaur's head away as she continued to go over the words on paper.

"Don't even think about it...Thats for later..."

It had been a few days since the egg had hatched into a Botamon, which had evolved into a Betamon. The young father decided to nickname him Beta. Quite a simple name and fitted his rookie form. The two of them used the recent days to get more acquainted, and now Axel had decided it was time to get some training done, in order for them to get used to fighting alongside each other. Since Aokigahara Forest had some sighting of weak digimons recently, and being close to where he lived, he decided to head there along with his partner. Out in the forest, Axel had brought some food in order for them to be able to survive until the time to return to town, expecting to stay there a while.

"Axel, did you bring me some chocolate for later?"

"Yes Beta. Got it all in the bag. Now get prepared, i'm hearing something."

As Axel stopped talking, Betamon showed a more serious expression and stayed close to it's master. There were voices, in the forest. One was a digimon obviously but... The other sounded girlish, almost like a human kid. Was he hearing correctly? Slowly, Axel walked toward where he heard the people speak. As he hid behind the bushes, he saw what was the source of the sound: a human girl and her digimon. Judging from her height, she was still in her early adolescent stage and had a digimon he didn't see before, but heard of: an Agumon. Although those red bands around it's claws were a first. A preference from his tamer maybe? Seeing how there was no danger, Axel got out of the bushes and walked toward the duo, closely followed by his partner.

"Hello young lady. Can I know why you're out here with... so much stuff? It almost seems like you're planning on camping here."

As his tamer told her of her plans for the food that was plainly sitting before him, Grunt groaned before lowering his head in displeasure. He didn't see the point of saving what was already there waiting. Humans had the most strangest of rituals, this being one of them. Another had to be the fact of wanting to track time on their arms. What was the point of that, especially since it was just easier to look at the sky to see what time of day they were settled within. It just seemed almost a waste of effort, much like Amanda's idea of him needing a way to exert his energy. In truth, he figured it was just her way of getting him out of her father's hair, the man clearly didn't like him or the fact that he was living there.

"Oh come on!! Not even a small bite?! I'm totally starving!!"

Holding his stomach with both claws, the Agumon continued to groan before sniffing the air once as a voice came from nearby. It seemed to have gained Amanda's attention as well, causing her to rise up quickly to see who it was that was coming their way. The stranger was a man, appearing almost around the same age as her father. Though perhaps the thing that really surprised her was that not too far behind him seemed to be a creature that waddled upon four legs. A digimon...but did that mean that he was a tamer too? In truth, she hadn't heard or met any older tamers and digimon, though she had only been one for a very short time.

It seemed that Grunt was just as stunned as she was, remaining still as he seemed to be wondering why they were out there. Especially with so many things as it made it appear as though they were going to be camping out.

"Yea! Thats what I thought too!"

"Heh heh...Be quiet Grunt...."

Speaking towards the Agumon with a kind smile, the young blonde rubbed the back of her neck as her eyes remained upon the man as she continued to speak.

"Actually, we're just out here to help him. He's a bit of a handful at home so I'm trying to help him get rid of all that excess energy. Being as he can breath fire..I wanted to be prepared..."

Looking back towards the things she had brought along, her face began to turn red.

"Though maybe I did bring a bit too much..."

Axel stood in front of the girl and her digimon and looked at them. He was clearly taller then them, which he disliked a bit. He hated looking others from a higher position then them, even if they were younger then him. Everyone deserved equality, even childs. But that's something he couldn't fix sadly, and will have to do with. The Agumon spoke, saying he thought that was what she was doing as well, but her tamer, after telling him to be quiet, proved otherwise. She explained the situation of her digimon at her apartment, which made the young man do a small laugh. That was to be expected, just like every pets at first do damage until they get used to their new environment. Although this might be a bit insulting to the digital creatures, be compared to pets. After listening to their stories, Betamon walked forward and spoke.

"You know, it's not good to do that, Agumon. But I understand the idea of making him do some exercise. Sadly, this isn't the best environment for that. Outside the town is incredibly dangerous and you need to be prepared when you head out. Since you guys seem to be partners for only a few days, It's not really the wisest move."

"You're not one to talk Beta. I understand the point you're bringing, but remember that you're also considered a newborn." Axel turned his gaze toward the girl tamer."Still, If you wished to make your Agumon exercise, you should've went to a training center in the city. They have facilities to train your digimons in Tokyo, that would've been less dangerous."

Axel moved toward a fallen trunk and decided to sit on it. His Betamon looked at him, wondering what his tamer was thinking. The young man raised his head and looked once more at the girl and Agumon. Their situation was benefical to Axel and Betamon's situation. Maybe he could convince her of making them fight to practice his digimon and make her's exercise a bit?

"I may have a way to make your Agumon exercise quickly: We fight. My Beta against your digimon. That way, we will both be able to score some exercise on each side, and you'll gain some battle experience at the same time. What do you think?"

"A....training center?....huh...Never knew about that..."

Looking towards Grunt, the creature just looked at her with a blank expression, clearly showing that he had no idea of such a place either. Perhaps it was made for this very reason, a means of allowing digimon a chance to unleash their abilities, without fear of attack. The idea of them being attacked out here was also something she hadn't considered. After all, with more and more monsters coming into the Real world, there was no telling what awaited outside of the wall. In the end, Amanda may have just put both herself and Grunt at risk by just trying to help the dinosaur get some use of his abilities. Though she didn't want to appear as embarrassed as she felt, it was as clear upon her face as her nose, cheeks completely flushed before the man that stood before them.

"Some tamer I'm turning out to be..."

"Ahh..we would have been fine...unless some giant mega super digimon showed up...Then we'd be dead..."

Looking down at Grunt as he seemed to be content with his alternative to their situation, the blonde girl just sighed before lowering her head.

"That just made me feel so much better..."

"Your welcome!"

Doing her best try and avoid looking at the creature, her attention once again returned to that of their current guest, tilting her head at the offer of the two groups doing battle with one another. It seemed a bit odd, since they had only just met. But then again, had this person been dangerous, it was likely that he would attacked them already. But there was still a problem...Amanda had no idea how to battle. For that matter, she wasn't sure if Grunt did either? Though before she could say anything, Grunt eagerly jumped forwards with a smirk.

"Oh yea!! Lets rock!! Sounds like a great idea! Right Amanda!?"

"Um...you sure you want to do this?"

"You said that I needed an outlet right? Here is one! Battling is like...like in my jeans if I wore pants!!"

Amanda decided that rather than try and tell Grunt about just how strange he sounded, she would keep his attention firmly on the man before nodding her head.

"Um...ok...though I guess it would be a good idea to be introduced first right? Im Amanda...and this is Grunt..."

Axel observed the girl's movements. The tamer and her digimon had no clue about the training center. It was normal of course, since they were together for not so long and that the training facilities with the installation for the digimons were quite recent, word of it did not spread too far. The girl's face turned red, surely she was getting embarrassed because of that mistake of hers, bringing her digimon in the forest when both of them didn't know of the danger. At least now she knew about it. Then her Agumon said they would've been alright... unless they faced a digimon of mega level. That remark simple made Axel facepalm, although he didn't make any sound when he put his hand in front of his eyes and forehead. Betamon would've done the same if he could. Instead, he simply shaked his head negatively. 

After he proposed that both digimons fought, the Agumon of the teenager seemed happy, saying fighting was in his blood, in a weird way of course. His tamer then agreed and introduced herself. Amanda huh... That's a name the young man wouldn't forget. Especially if he does see her outside again. And her Agumon was named Grunt. That was a weird choice of nickname, since the word Grunt normally referred to an underling of sort, but if he liked it, Axel had nothing to say. Beta returned near his master as he stood up, searching in his pocket for something.

"My name is Axel Heartnet, and this is Beta. You should bring your digivice out, it'll be useful."

"Are you planning on testing your prototype Axel?"

"Ain't it obvious? Now's as best a time as any. If it works, this will be quite helpful in the future."

From his pocket, Axel grabbed a glove and a earpiece. He equipped the glove on his right hand and the earpiece on his right ear. On the glove could be seen a blue gemstone, covering most of the back of the hand, while the earpiece seemed like a regular headphone that we can get in a cheap store. Suddenly, the gemstone on the glove began to shine in a faint teal color and the words "Link Established" could be seen on it. The earpiece began growing, extending some sort of window over Axel's right eye. Data began to go across it before simplifying itself to a few information. He looked at his digimon, then at the Agumon. The earpiece emitted a sound each time he observed both digimons. The gemstone showed new words, saying "Data acquired. Ready for use". Betamon took a fighting stance, leaning a bit more forward, ready to face the opponent.
