"Who was that?" Twilight asked shortly after the battle was over.
"That," I said. "Was Hippymon. A Champion level Virus Digimon."
"Hard to believe that a character in a school project we made would turn out to be real." Jeremy said.
"And yet true." I said, resuming my narrative. "Hippymon was always thus. A thorn in our rear. He was the one who first sought out to destroy D.j. here." I said, motioning to Demijoshuamon. "Hippymon was born through artificial data intervention not unlike that which resulted in VictoryGreymon."
"Hippymon, was he always this way?" Twilight asked. "A thorn in your rear?"
"Aye." I said. "A rivalry forever."
"He really bites." Demijoshuamon said. "You know he tried to smash my egg while BlackAgumon was transporting it."
"At least you were able to get to safety." Rainbow Dash said.
"Define safety." BlackAgumon said sarcastically. "The cretin took a hefty chunk of my groin for a ride in his stomach." And BlackAgumon raised his right leg up.
"BlackAgumon!" I said, rushing in front of him before anyone saw that which should not be seen in a story like this. "Have some decency."
"Yeah, we ain't all dudes here right now." Pyrodramon said. " There are seven ladies here. Eight if you count Agumon."
"Oh, bite me." Agumon said. "At least I'm not a freak hybrid."
"Says the guy that has the fangs of a lily-livered, purple-backed snake."
"That's it!" Agumon roared. "Pepper Breath!"
"FlameCharge!"
"Demijoshuamon, if you would." I said.
"I'm on it." Demijoshuamon said. "Icy Wind!"
"Unfreeze my body, Demijoshuamon." Agumon said.
"Not until you've had a chance to cool off."
"I'm not worried." Pyrodramon said. "HeatWave!"
"Well, anyway." I said, reaching in my pocket for a moment before continuing. "Hippymon has always been a pain to us. Luckily he wasn't here the last time me and D.j. were. We would of been hard-pressed if he was. This bio card should give you all the information you'd need to know about Hippymon."
"A trading card?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "You expect us to learn from a trading card? What are we, a bunch of computer nerds?"
"Well, I didn't bring Digimon: A Novice's Guidebook to these Digital Monsters with me this time." I said. "And besides, it doesn't have every piece of information on Hippymon yet."
"Yeah, whatever."
"And what can we do to get any information from this card." Twilight asked.
It was Jeremy who spoke up this time. "It can tell you anything about the Digimon pictured on the front, as well as information about it's evolutions."
"Trading cards." I said. "That were created for the purpose of giving information when and where a full compendium such as Digimon: A Novice's Guidebook to these Digital Monsters or a Digimon Analyzer computer program would be awkward to have."
We quickly resumed our meal, despite the recent battle. I knew Hippymon wouldn't be gone long, and we all needed to refuel and prepare a battle plan.
