DIGIMON TAMERS EPISODE SUMMARIES

To Fight or Not to Fight

Summary written by Stan....Julie bows to Stan chanting..."I am not worthy"..(~_^)

A dazed Guilmon attempts to recover from Renamon's kick, as Rika challenges Takato. He tries to talk Rika out of it, and she dismisses him as pathetic, ordering Renamon to finish Guilmon off. Renamon attacks with Diamond Storm, and Guilmon counters with Pyro Sphere. The two go at it "hammer and tongs" while Rika tries (and fails) to get info on Guilmon.

Disgusted (and somewhat surprised), Rika takes a card out, and... "DigiModify!! Armor Activate!!" This modifies Renamon to have a cannon arm and end the fight. Takato pleads with Guilmon to stop fighting, and he listens--causing Renamon to miss him with her cannon. She aims once more, but stops as she sees how happy Guilmon is with his Tamer. Nonetheless, she still attempts to attack--but is stopped by Henry and Terriermon. Henry gently berates Rika for using Renamon as a fighting machine; Rika simply stalks away, Renamon following her.

In Guilmon's park shed home, the two boys introduce themselves, then each head for home. At his parents' bakery, Takato runs into Jeri, who tells him she decided not to rat him out for skipping school. In the downtown city, Rika walks, Renamon keeping watch over her. At Henry's house, Terriermon promises his Tamer not to digivolve, no matter what. Takato walks into Guilmon's shed and is shocked to see Guilmon made it bigger by digging. On the streets, Rika is recognized as the Digimon Queen, the champion of last year's card tournament. Rika ignores this, fretting over the fact that, if she is so good, then why has Renamon not digivolved?

The next morning, Takato watches Kazu beat Kanta at the Card game by using Modify cards. That's when Takato understands why Modify cards are so special. Meanwhile, a Twin Tower team is sent out to investigate one of the previous Digimon battle sites. The boss, still flicking his lighter, finds a card on the ground. After school, Kazu decides he'll become the best card game player ever, even better than the Digimon Queen. Takato asks about her, and soon learns Kazu and Kanta are talking about Rika. Jeri overhears their discussion about fighting, and says it's ridiculous. As Takato walks home, he sees governmental looking vans and wonders what they are looking for. He thinks they are looking for Guilmon and is instantly in a panic, more so when he can't find Guilmon in the park shed. Terrified, Takato looks everywhere--only to learn Guilmon was playing hide and go seek with him.

Hit by a sudden brainstorm, Takato passes Guilmon off as a man in a costume, and strolls downtown with him. Everything goes well until Guilmon smells Renamon in a nearby car garage. He races there, where Rika awaits, challenging Takato again. As Guilmon and Renamon fight again, Henry breaks in once more. Rika is deaf to the boys' implores to stop fighting. Terriermon, meanwhile, wanders right into the middle of the fight; a shocked Renamon accidentally attacks him, and Terriermon digivolves to Gargomon.

Rika scoffs at the new Champion, but not for long, as the trigger happy bunny tears the place apart. A distraught Calumon sags on a car, wondering why Gargomon is acting this way. Renamon has her paws full trying to keep Rika safe, who is blind to the danger--until Gargomon's guns are pointed right at her. Guilmon slams Gargomon against a wall, leaving a terrified Rika leaning against a post. She begins to wonder if digivolving is such a good idea.
