Chapter 1 - Tamer PAGE 1 Taichi: So...so this is what a real Greymon looks like... Taichi: All right... Taichi: Go!!! Zero!!! Go around him and aim for the back of his head!!! Zero: OK, Taichi!!! PAGE 2 Title Chapter V-1: 100% Tamer!! PAGE 3 Taichi: Yeah! 100% wins!!! Taichi: Whew, I guess my orders were right on. Zero: Whew, I guess I sure am strong. Taichi: At any rate, I bet we're unbeatable. Zero: Yeah. Taichi & Zero: Ahahahahaha... Taichi: My name is Yagami Taichi. I don't know why, but a few days ago I found myself here in the Digimon World... PAGE 4 Taichi: It was the first day of the "D-1 Grand Prix" Digimon tamers convention... Taichi: What? How come I don't qualify!? Man: You've got a Digimon that wasn't programmed into the game. I'm sorry, but it's against the rules. Taichi: What? My Zero...!? Boy: We can't have you battle using your trick monster, Taichi. Taichi: That's not it!!! I raised him and this is just the way he turned out!!! Taichi: Darn it. Let me see if it's broken or something... Taichi: Huh!? Voice: Welcome to Holy Angel Castle... Taichi: What!? PAGE 5 Taichi: I was enfolded in a blinding light... Taichi: The next thing I knew I was here in this world... Taichi: And this guy... Taichi: Wah! Zero: Don't be afraid, I'm your Digimon, Zero. Taichi: What...? Zero: Hi!!! Taichi: The real life version of my Digimon, Zeromaru, turned out to be an unknown type of Digimon after all. Taichi: So in order to find a way home to my world, I started on a journey across the Digimon World with Zero... Taichi: Now that I think of it, I heard a strange voice then. Hey, have you ever heard of Holy Angel Castle? Zero: I don't think so...? PAGE 6 Gabo: Ow! Taichi: Are you OK? Gabo: Oh!!! Gabo: Wah! What's a human doing here!? Taichi: ...That's what I'd like to know... Taichi: Actually, we... Gabo: ...I see. So you got transported here from the human world. That sure is strange. Taichi: You said it... Gabo: Thanks. Gabo: You're pretty good at this. Gabo: I'm Gabo the Gabumon. Gabo: Thanks for helping me. PAGE 7 Zero: Hahaha! No problem. Healing is one of the basics of being a tamer. Hahaha! Zero: What'll this heal? Taichi: Your big mouth. Gabo: A tamer, huh... So then that means you raised that puppy-like dragon? Taichi: Yeah. Zero: Who're you callin' a puppy!? Zero: I'm Lord Zero the Veedramon!!! Gabo: That's unusual... I've never seen his type here on the continent of Folder... Taichi: The continent of Folder? Gabo: Oh! I've got to hurry back to the castle... Taichi: What? Castle...!? Gabo: I've got to bring this food back to entertain the guests at Holy Angel Castle. Gabo: On the way I was attacked by monsters and had to run away. Taichi: Holy Angel Castle!!! PAGE 8 Gabo: Oh no... He's coming...!!! Gabo: He followed me...!!! Gabo: There he is!!! That's him! I was attacked by this Tortomon!!! Taichi: ...What? Tortomon? I've never fought one of these before. PAGE 9 Taichi: Well, we'll manage somehow! Just leave it to us!!! Gabo: What!? You're gonna fight him!? Taichi: We've won 100% of our battles!!! Taichi: In exchange, if we win, you show us to the castle. Gabo: That puppy dragon doesn't look so strong to me... Taichi: Zero!! Punch him in the neck!!! Zero: OK!!! Zero: Taichi... My hand hurts... Taichi: Huh? Gabo: You fool! Gabo: What's this!? PAGE 10 Gabo VS. Greymon, VS. Numemon, VS. Tuskmon... These are all File Island monsters!!! Taichi: Huh? Gabo: The monsters here on Folder... Gabo: Are so strong, the monsters on File Island can't even begin to compare!!! Taichi: I get it... I think I've heard of this...!!! Those are the monsters from the new Digimon Pendulum game... Taichi: Actually, I don't have that one. Gabo: There's no time for that! He's gonna crush your monster!! Gabo: Here it comes! Shell Phalanx!! Taichi: Get out of the way, Zero!!! Zero: I don't need you to tell me that...!!! PAGE 11 Zero: Don't you have any good plans, Taichi!? Zero: His whole body's as hard as his shell!!! Gabo: It's no use... His whole body's covered with a high density material. Gabo: It's not something that can be easily broken with a punch or a beam... Taichi: No... There's a place where he's not covered. Gabo: Wh...what...!? Taichi: Get him after he shoots a Shell Phalanx!!! Go Zero!!! Zero: I get it. Thanks, Taichi!! Gabo: I...I said it's useless!!! Gabo: There's no way you can aim at just that area...!! Taichi: Zero can do it... PAGE 12 Zero: V Breath Arrow!!! Taichi: Got him!!! Gabo: Wow! Amazing!!! PAGE 13 Gabo: The discernment to spot in a split second the enemy's weakness in battle. Gabo: And the honed skills to aim for even a small point... A feat that a monster raised in the wild wouldn't be able to match... Gabo: Is the combination of tamer and monster really so much better...!? Gabo: Ha!!! Gabo: C...could it be that these are the guests awaited at Holy Angel Castle...? Taichi & Zero: Yay! Yay! Victory dance! 100%, 100%! Gabo: ...No, there's no way these idiots could be the ones... Gabo: Well, I'll show you to the castle like I promised. Gabo: Let's go, Taichi, Zero!!! Taichi: Hey, can we have some of that food? Gabo: No. Taichi: And so we headed for the castle... To find the reason behind my coming to this world... TO BE CONTINUED
