AnimeAdmirer's (Digimon: Tamers)Now You See It, Now You Don't Summary written by Stan....Thank you. The Twin Towers people, better known as Hypnos, are tracking another unusual anomaly. This time, it isn't a wild one (a Digimon), but rather an energy field. Rika thinks about Kyubimon's last battle, and wonders if Digimon are data with emotions--or if they are data at all. Takato visits Guilmon the next morning, who tells him about how he dreamed he disappeared. They talk about dream worlds; then, to Takato's astonishment, Guilmon begins to disappear. Panicked, Takato gets Henry, who theorizes (with a sad tone very unlike Henry, I might add) that Guilmon is probably returning to the Digital World, and that there is nothing Takato can do about it. In school, Takato debates over what Henry said, then listens as Ms. Isaji tells the class about the city's new tunnel. Back at the shed in the park, Takato finds Calumon and Guilmon playing together. Takato asks about Calumon, but the little Digimon denies having a home or being lonely; he then bounces away. Meanwhile, in the Twin Towers, a man speaks with Yamaki (the light flicker) about Hypnos. Their discussion ends with the man's demand that all bio-emerging be stopped, and any wild ones that are loose are to be terminated at once. In another part of town, Takato and Guilmon look for Calumon, but are found by Renamon and Rika, who demand a fight. Surprisingly, Rika decides not to fight and brings them to her house. Takato explains the dream he had about her, Renamon, and the Lynxmon. Right before he asks Rika questions about Digimon, Rika's grandmother peeks in (this results in a funny scene where Renamon strives to hide a complaining Guilmon). Takato presents the problem of Guilmon disappearing, and Rika shrugs it off, agreeing to what Henry said. Takato is taken aback by Rika's cold view of Digimon--that they are nothing more than data. Later, the boys are kicked out by the girls. Rika threatens Takato with extreme pain if he ever mentions his dream to anyone. In the Twin Towers, Yamaki demands a tracer to be locked on the anomaly. It promptly absorbs the tracer. On the way home, Takato and Guilmon talk some more about dreams, and about being friends. Just as Takato feels reassured that Guilmon probably won't go away, Guilmon begins to disappear again--much faster this time. In a moment, all that's left is a tearful Takato. Distraught, Takato calls Henry, and the two (plus Terriermon), seek out Rika. Meanwhile, Yamaki has decided the new anomaly is extremely dangerous and plans to use Yuggoth, a new program, to delete it. Takato leads the others to the spot where Guilmon disappeared, which happens to be near the new tunnel. Renamon and Terriermon begin to disappear as well, and Henry orders them away. As Takato's parents begin to worry about him being late, and as Yamaki begins to unlock Yuggoth, the trio travel down the tunnel. They come to the anomaly, a huge glowing bubble of a field. The digivices begin to glow, and create an opening in the field to let the children in. Takato spots Guilmon and tries to reach him; at the same moment, Yamaki implements Yuggoth, and the field and everything in it is slowly erased. As Guilmon breaks free, he creates a road for the others to walk on, and they all leave just as the field disappears forever. Takato thanks everyone for their help, and races home to his worried parents. A Question of Trust Summary written by Stan....Thank you! Takato is already hard at work, planning Guilmon's Champion form--Growlmon. In the park, Impmon scares a couple off with his fiery handiwork. He then discovers Guilmon locked in the shed and demands Guilmon's food. Impmon belittles Guilmon for being a simpleton and a Digipet. The next day in school, Ms. Isaji reminds everyone not to be in the park after dark. The children debate who the fire flinging culprit is, then the girls blame the boys, saying they are interrupting the natural flow of love. Jeri tells Takato that nobody thinks he did it. Takato meets up with Henry and the two discuss if it is Guilmon that is the problem; they dismiss it as not likely. Henry then tells Takato that the teachers will start patrolling the park, which worries Takato--they might find Guilmon. Riley (one of the Twin Tower trackers) fails to trace a new wild one. Takato brings Guilmon food, then pleads with him not to leave the shed. Ms. Isaji and Mr. Mori are the first step of patrollers; Mr. Mori gets nervous when he sees all the couples in the park, and Ms. Isaji gets fed up with him and leaves. Meanwhile, Impmon is pestering Guilmon again, and insults him. He finally gets Guilmon to leave the shed by saying Guilmon's no fun. On the way home, Takato is stopped by a cop, who is convinced Takato is the fire flinging culprit. Ms. Isaji arrives on the scene and vouches for Takato, then walks him home. At the same time, Impmon shows Guilmon the "fun" of scaring away couples in love; Guilmon finds it boring and wanders back to his shed. Takato freaks over Guilmon again and bolts to the shed to check on him--only to find the shed empty. Guilmon then shows up, telling Takato the "fun" he had scaring people away. Convinced Guilmon is the trouble maker, Takato loses his temper and runs off. A sad and dejected Guilmon wonders what he did wrong. Bored with scaring people, Impmon finds a Devidramon bio-emerging and teases it mercilessly--until it busts out of the field and wreaks havoc. Lots of people, including Ms. Isaji, watch the Devidramon tear about, unsure what to think. Devidramon then decides to attack Guilmon, who is out wandering again. Takato, Rika and Renamon, and Henry and Terriermon join the fight; Takato tries to swipe card after card, but without success. As everyone watches Guilmon getting walloped, Terriermon eavesdrops on Impmon, who gloats over all that he's done--including scaring couples. Terriermon tells Takato the truth, who promptly forgives Guilmon and begs him to fight back. Calumon shows up, scared for Guilmon. As Takato pleads with Guilmon to at least try to fight, Guilmon digivolves to Growlmon, who runs Calumon off with his fierce roar. Yamaki appoints Riley "cover story" creator, then goes to make sure all knowledge of the Digimon fight is erased. Meanwhile, the same fight is reaching a critical point; Devidramon picks Growlmon up and hauls him high in the sky--then drops him. Amazingly, Growlmon is unscathed and unleashes a powerful attack on Devidramon, instantly decimating him. Growlmon absorbs Devidramon's data, then bellows his triumph to the skies. Not As Seen On TV Summary written by Stan....Thank you! Takato finds himself face to face with one scary looking Growlmon. The boy quietly panics, waiting for the moment when Growlmon eats him. The Champion's breath blows hot on Takato's face, the menacing creature takes a step forward, and Takato is startled to find the Digimon...crying?! With tears in his eyes, Growlmon pleads with Takato not to be scared of him, and begs to be Guilmon again. When Growlmon gets stuck trying to fit in the park shed, Takato realizes he's got to make Growlmon de-digivolve. First he tries a backward card slash--with no luck. Then he hits on the idea that a Rookie is like data, and a Champion is more data added to the original data, so he's got to get rid of the extra data to bring back Guilmon. He forces Growlmon to exercise, then remembers a Digimon shares energy with his Tamer; from that point on, Takato works with Guilmon. They exercise some more, then try wishing. Finally, Takato leaves Growlmon in the park, hoping he'll change over night. On the way home, Takato bumps into Jeri. Takato tries to talk to Jeri about how his friend has gone through a big change, and he wants to change his friend back. Jeri misunderstands him, thinking he likes her. Late that night, about 2am, a sleepy Takato finds Calumon and Growlmon sitting outside his balcony window. Calumon runs off, and Takato wakes Henry up, hoping he can help change Growlmon back. They decide to leave Growlmon in the tunnel where the anomaly had been, and go home. Impmon stumbles upon the sleeping Champion, and tortures him, chasing poor Growlmon out of the tunnel. Takato brings bread for his Digimon the next day, only to find Growlmon missing. In a panic, he calls on Henry for help, who sends Terriermon to find Growlmon. Terriermon finds Growlmon at a park, and brings the boys to the Digimon. At first, Takato is mad at Growlmon for leaving, but forgives him as he hears how Impmon chased Growlmon out of the tunnel, and picked on him until Growlmon fought back, then collapsed of exhaustion on the playground. The boys then decide that camouflage could be the answer. It works until Rika appears and scoffs at them, challenging them to a fight yet again. Renamon, like all Digimon, is able to sense where Growlmon is and points him out. A thunderstorm starts; as it rains, the paint runs off of Growlmon, making him very easy to see. Takato gets upset as he stares at Growlmon and as Rika dismisses him as hopeless and leaves. Brokenhearted, Takato sobs against Growlmon, wondering why he can't do anything right. As the rain stops, and a rainbow arches high overheard, Growlmon glows, and shrinks back to Guilmon. |
