Chapter Six
File City...
It had taken Charon a full day of travel, but he had finally arrived at File City. Though, if he were honest with himself, it was too small to be called a city. There were various buildings and houses and numerous Digimon going about their business...that is until they caught sight of the old human walking into their town. Immediately the Digimon halted what they were doing, staring at Charon.
“Oh, dear,” Charon whispered. “I do hope they're friendly.”
Many of the Digimon were whispering and murmuring, some pointing in his direction. Charon wondered if maybe he should try to talk with them or let them make the first move. He didn't have long to wait as a large centaur-like Digimon approached. Charon couldn't help but notice that it's right hand was covered by a small cannon. The centaur halted before Charon, staring down at him, a single red eye visible from the helmet it wore.
“I am Centarumon,” the Digimon introduced itself. “Who are you, old man? And how did you get here?”
“Pleased to meet you, Centarumon. My name is Charon,” Charon replied. “As to how I got here, I came through a portal.”
“How is that possible,” Centarumon asked. “The Digital World has been cut off from the Human World for a long time. Are there anymore of you here?”
“No, I'm the only human who came through,” Charon said. “I'm actually a scientist and I am quite fascinated by your world and it's inhabitants.”
“Is that right,” Centarumon said. “Might I ask what's in your bag?”
“Merely some notes and instruments for my studies,” Charon replied. “I want to know everything about the Digital World.”
Centarumon remained silent for a moment. Charon worried that maybe he shouldn't have mentioned studying the Digital World. After all, Garurumon had warned him not to say anything about that. Fortunately, a commotion interrupted the silence. The crowd of Digimon were parting and letting a short Digimon with white hair and a mustache through. The Digimon's hair cover it's eyes and it carried a staff with a clawed paw on the top and it wore a simple brown cloth outfit. The old Digimon shuffled his way towards Charon and Centarumon.
“Well, now, what's all this,” the old Digimon said. “Centarumon, what's going on here? Is that a human I see?”
“Good day, Jijimon,” Centarumon greeted. “Yes, this is indeed a human. I was just questioning him before you arrived. He says his name is Charon and he came here from the Human World. Apparently he is a scientist.”
“Ahh, a man of science, is he,” Jijimon said. “Well, there's nothing wrong with that.” He turned his attention to Charon. “Though what exactly brings a scientist to our world? And just how did you get here?”
“My thoughts exactly, Jijimon,” Centarumon said, staring suspiciously at Charon. “He claims to be the only human who arrived, but I'm not sure he's being entirely honest.”
“Hmm. Well, I suppose we'll just have to find out,” Jijimon said. “Charon, was it? If you'll just follow me to my home, we can talk over a cup of tea. Centarumon, would you care to accompany us?”
“Certainly, Jijimon,” Centarumon replied.
“Everyone go about your business,” Jijimon said, addressing the gathered Digimon. “I will see to our guest here.”
The Digimon wandered off, some going back to whatever activity they had been working on earlier. Jijimon led the way to his house, Charon following him, with Centarumon right behind him. Charon was no fool. He knew the centaur Digimon was keeping a close eye on him and would no doubt attack if he suspected Charon of anything suspicious. Well, that didn't bother him. He had nothing to hide and he certainly wasn't going to give Centarumon any reason to harm him. He would cooperate with them. In fact, this Jijimon might actually be able to provide some answers to his questions as well.
Hiding nearby, a small Digimon named DemiDevimon watched as the human he had been tailing was led off by Jijimon and Centarumon. He had been following Charon from the moment he had arrived in the Digital World. Now that the old human was here in File City, DemiDevimon decided now was the time to report to his master. He turned to fly off, only to halt as a familiar figure appeared before him.
“Oh! LadyDevimon,” DemiDevimon gasped.
“So this is where you've been,” LadyDevimon said. “I've been looking all over for you. Lord Myotismon has a task for all of us.”
“Funny you should mention Myotismon,” DemiDevimon said. “I was actually on my way to see him. You're not going to believe this, but there's a human here in File City.”
“What,” LadyDevimon exclaimed. “Are you serious?”
“Yeah, he's with Jijimon right now,” DemiDevimon said.
“Unbelievable,” LadyDevimon said.
“I know,” DemiDevimon said. “I found it surprising a human was here, too.”
“Shut up,” LadyDevimon snapped. “That human is precisely the reason why I'm here. Lord Myotismon has ordered me to find this human and observe him. And it seems my search is over.”
She flew away, leaving DemiDevimon behind, confused.
“Um, glad I could help,” he said.
Elsewhere...
“You know, it would take us no time at all to reach Primary Village if I flew us there,” Mewtwo offered.
He and Mervamon had been trekking through a forest for a few hours now. The beach was far behind them now, and they were steadily making their way to Primary Village. Mervamon had told him it would take a few days to reach their destination. Still, Mewtwo was getting impatient. He had a definite lead to Renamon's whereabouts and he was taking the slow route.
“I'm sure it would,” Mervamon said. “I know you're anxious to find Renamon, but flying is not recommended through here. Lots of flying Digimon live in this area and some of them are very territorial. They could end up attacking us and frankly I don't relish falling to my death.”
“And the fact you're afraid of heights,” Mewtwo said.
“Wha...What are you talking about,” Mervamon stammered. “I'm not...”
“I noticed the way you reacted when I mentioned flying,” Mewtwo said. “It was subtle, but your face paled a bit and I noticed you started sweating a little bit. And I could sense your nervousness.”
“I forgot you're psychic,” Mervamon muttered, blushing slightly. “Okay, fine, you're right. I have a fear of heights. But you keep that to yourself. I do have a reputation to maintain.”
Mewtwo couldn't help but smile at that. In a way, Mervamon reminded him of Renamon. Both were strong willed and kept up a tough facade.
“Can the smug look,” Mervamon growled.
“I'm not being smug,” Mewtwo said. “You just remind me of Renamon. You two are so alike.”
“You really care about her, don't you,” Mervamon asked.
“I'd say that was pretty obvious,” Mewtwo said. “I risked everything to come here and find her.”
“You left your home and everyone there behind,” Mervamon mused. “Yeah, I'd say you care that much about her.”
“I really didn't have a home to speak of,” Mewtwo said. “And I had no friends or family. To be honest, Renamon was the only person to ever give my life meaning.”
“I have to ask,” Mervamon said. “What is the human world like?”
Mewtwo shrugged. “It's similar to the Digital World, just populated by humans and of course Pokemon.”
“Pokemon,” Mervamon repeated the word. “You're one of those, right? What other Pokemon are there? Are there any Pokemon as strong as you?”
“There are some that are even stronger than me,” Mewtwo replied. “And in answer to your first question, there are hundreds of other Pokemon of various types. Not all that different from Digimon really.”
“I remember Renamon mentioning two powerful Pokemon,” Mervamon said. “Palkia and Dialga, I think they were called.”
“Those two,” Mewtwo growled, his hands clenching. “If it hadn't been for them, Renamon and I would have been living happily back in the human world. I had to team up with a former criminal scientist and use risky technology to come here and find her.”
Mervamon was surprised at the harsh, angry tone in Mewtwo's voice. She had heard that same tone in Renamon's voice when she had talked about the two Legendary Pokemon and how they had torn her away from Mewtwo.
“Hey, for what it's worth, I'm sorry things didn't work out,” Mervamon spoke up. “I've never really had anyone special in my life so I can't say I understand. That being said though, I promise I'll help you in anyway to find her.”
“Thanks,” Mewtwo said.
“So, tell me something,” Mervamon asked. “How exactly did you and Renamon defeat Emperor Leomon? He was a very powerful Digimon.”
“Renamon, along with Leomon, Gatomon and WhiteTigramon managed to achieve Mega Digivolution,” Mewtwo explained. “And I Mega Evolved as well. Together we were strong enough to defeat Emperor Leomon.”
“That's pretty impressive,” Mervamon said.
“Mervamon, what level are you,” Mewtwo asked. “I noticed Digitamamon seemed afraid of you and he was an Ultimate Level. Does that make you Mega Level?”
“That's right,” Mervamon said.
“And that one Digimon you mentioned? MetalSeadramon,” Mewtwo asked. “Who is he?”
“He's in charge of that area of the ocean where Digitamamon set up his shop,” Mervamon explained. “He's a gigantic sea serpent, covered in armor. He also happens to be a Mega Level Digimon.”
“Now I see why Digitamamon begged you not to report to him,” Mewtwo mused. “Is MetalSeadramon part of the Council?”
“No,” Mervamon said. “But he does answer to it.”
“Who all is on the Council,” Mewtwo asked. “I know Myotismon is, and that Emperor Leomon was part of it, too.”
“I'm afraid I can't divulge that information,” Mervamon said. “Technically speaking, no one should know. Only a few who directly answer to the Council is supposed to be privy to that knowledge. But given everything that's happened, I'm not surprised you learned about some of it's members.”
“Are you on the Council,” Mewtwo asked, turning to her.
“No, I'm not,” Mervamon said.
“But I'm willing to bet you answer directly to them,” Mewtwo said. “Is that the real reason you're helping me? To keep an eye on me? To make sure I don't step out of line and disrupt the Council's rule?”
Mervamon was silent, her gazed locked with Mewtwo's. “Did you read my thoughts?”
“I didn't have to,” Mewtwo replied coldly. “I'm no fool, Mervamon. My meeting with Myotismon was enough to give me a clue about the way the Council works. And I find it a bit coincidental that you just happened to show up at Digitamamon's restaurant where I was. The Council knows I'm here and they sent you to keep an eye on me, didn't they?”
“Look, Mewtwo,” Mervamon said.
“And I can't help but wonder what other orders they gave you,” Mewtwo interrupted. “By chance was it to eliminate me? It was, wasn't it? Tell me!”
“Yes, it was,” Mervamon yelled. “I was ordered to watch you and, if necessary, eliminate you!”
“That's what I thought,” Mewtwo said. “It seems the Council is no different than Palkia and Dialga when it comes to visitors to their world.”
“Mewtwo, I'm not proud of the orders I was given,” Mervamon said. “I really believe you mean us no harm.”
“It's not the orders I'm upset about,” Mewtwo said. “I can understand the Council's need for caution. What makes me mad is that when I first met you, I felt I could trust you and then I learn you were spying on me.”
“It's nothing personal, Mewtwo,” Mervamon said. “Believe me, I felt bad about having to spy on you. But you have to understand, I can't disobey the Council. They're comprised of some of the most powerful Digimon in the Digital World. Some of them are even stronger than me.”
Mewtwo sighed. “I understand that. After fighting the likes of Emperor Leomon I can only imagine how strong the other members are. But still, you could have been honest with me, Mervamon. I've had problems trusting others in the past and this certainly doesn't help.”
“Okay, fair point,” Mervamon conceded. “I'm sorry. Look, I was being sincere when I said I'd help you find Renamon. Just understand that for the time being I still need to keep an eye on you. Once we find Renamon, I'll take my leave. And for it's worth, some of the Council actually feel indebted to you for dealing with Emperor Leomon.”
“Very well,” Mewtwo said. “I feel you're being honest with me. In that case, shall we resume our journey?”
“Lets,” Mervamon said. “Renamon's waiting for you.”
They pressed on, both feeling relieved now that the air was cleared between them.
“Tell me something, Mervamon,” Mewtwo spoke up a short time later. “Why didn't the Council stop Emperor Leomon themselves? I know he was powerful, but surely a group of powerful Digimon could have dealt with him.”
“Well, the thing is, yes, they could have,” Mervamon said. “However, if it had come to that, then there would have been massive casualties, both for the Council and any other Digimon. And that's something they wanted to avoid. At the time, the Council watched Emperor Leomon. As long as he kept to his own domain and caused no further trouble, then they would leave him be.”
“But what about the invasion,” Mewtwo asked. “Surely the Council wouldn't have permitted such a thing.”
“They actually didn't know about it,” Mervamon explained. “At least, not all of them knew. Myotismon found out somehow. Rather than report to the Council right away, he devised his own plans to deal with Emperor Leomon.”
“IceLeopardmon,” Mewtwo said. “Myotismon must have ordered him to shut down the portals and trap Emperor Leomon in the Human World. That happened during our battle. IceLeopardmon admitted to closing off the Digital World and keeping Emperor Leomon trapped there. It seems it wasn't just his idea.”
“That's right,” Mervamon said. “We later learned that was the case. Needless to say, the Council wasn't too happy about it. Bad enough Myotismon acted without talking with the Council first, but also endangering the Human World and risking conflict between our two worlds.”
That hypocrite,” Mewtwo growled. “After all that talk about trying to avoid war between the Digital World and Human World.”
“It would have been much worse for him,” Mervamon said. “However, since Emperor Leomon was dealt with and both worlds were saved, he got off easy with a warning. Needless to say, Myotismon has been treading carefully since then.”
“Is Myotismon a Mega Level Digimon,” Mewtwo asked.
“Actually, he's an Ultimate Level,” Mervamon said. “But he's incredibly powerful for an Ultimate. That and he can Digivolve into a powerful Mega form known as VenomMyotismon. Although, I've heard rumors that he has another more powerful form. But I have yet to see it. So because of that, he has a spot on the Council.”
“I don't trust him,” Mewtwo said. “Him or his servants.”
“That makes two of us,” Mervamon said. “In fact, several members on the Council don't trust him. But since the Council is supposed to be neutral, both good and bad Digimon comprise it. Got to take the good with the bad, I suppose.”
“Makes sense I guess,” Mewtwo said. “So now that Emperor Leomon is gone, does that mean someone else will take his place on the Council?”
“More than likely,” Mervamon said. “Though who, I don't know. Chances are they'll select another Beast Type Digimon.”
“Heeeyyy, Mervamon!”
Mervamon and Mewtwo turned at the sound of the voice. Floating on the surface of a lake was a seal-like Digimon with white fur and a tuft of orange hair on it's head.
“Hey, Gomamon,” Mervamon replied.
“Good to see you,” Gomamon said. “Care to join me for a swim?”
“I'm afraid I'll have to pass,” Mervamon said. “I'm on a mission right now.”
“Your loss,” Gomamon said. “If you pass through here again, don't be afraid to join me.” He winked at Mervamon and then dove underwater.
“What was that all about,” Mewtwo asked.
“Oh, that's just Gomamon,” Mervamon said. “He likes to flirt with me every time I pass through this area.”
“I'm getting the feeling you're quite popular,” Mewtwo said. “Meramon was practically singing your praises when you showed up at Digitamamon's restaurant.”
“Well, I do have a reputation,” Mervamon said.
“Somehow I don't think it's just your reputation they admire,” Mewtwo said, smirking.
“Watch it,” Mervamon growled.
Night had fallen and Mewtwo and Mervamon found themselves at the edge of the forest. Off in the distance Mewtwo saw a mountain.
“That's Mt. Infinity,” Mervamon said. “The central point of this island. And it's the tallest mountain around here. There's a pass we'll have to go through to reach Primary Village.”
“Are you going to be alright doing that,” Mewtwo asked. “After all, don't you have a fear of heights?”
“I'll manage,” Mervamon said. “As long as there's some solid ground underneath my feet, then I can get through it. Anyway, it's getting late, so we'll camp here and resume our journey in the morning.”
She sat down, back against a tree. Mewtwo stood gazing at the mountain. Just beyond it was Primary Village and a lead to Renamon. He was so close. He wondered what Renamon was doing right now. Was she turning in for the night as well? Was she thinking of him, wondering what he was doing?
“Hold on, Renamon,” he whispered. “I'll be there soon.”

“How is that possible,” Centarumon asked. “The Digital World has been cut off from the Human World for a long time. Are there anymore of you here?”
“No, I'm the only human who came through,” Charon said. “I'm actually a scientist and I am quite fascinated by your world and it's inhabitants.”
“Is that right,” Centarumon said. “Might I ask what's in your bag?”
“Merely some notes and instruments for my studies,” Charon replied. “I want to know everything about the Digital World.”
Centarumon remained silent for a moment. Charon worried that maybe he shouldn't have mentioned studying the Digital World. After all, Garurumon had warned him not to say anything about that. Fortunately, a commotion interrupted the silence. The crowd of Digimon were parting and letting a short Digimon with white hair and a mustache through.

“Well, now, what's all this,” the old Digimon said. “Centarumon, what's going on here? Is that a human I see?”

“That's right,” Mervamon said. “We later learned that was the case. Needless to say, the Council wasn't too happy about it. Bad enough Myotismon acted without talking with the Council first, but also endangering the Human World and risking conflict between our two worlds.”
That hypocrite,” Mewtwo growled. “After all that talk about trying to avoid war between the Digital World and Human World.”
“It would have been much worse for him,” Mervamon said. “However, since Emperor Leomon was dealt with and both worlds were saved, he got off easy with a warning. Needless to say, Myotismon has been treading carefully since then.”
“Is Myotismon a Mega Level Digimon,” Mewtwo asked.
“Actually, he's an Ultimate Level,” Mervamon said. “But he's incredibly powerful for an Ultimate. That and he can Digivolve into a powerful Mega form known as VenomMyotismon. Although, I've heard rumors that he has another more powerful form. But I have yet to see it. So because of that, he has a spot on the Council.”
“I don't trust him,” Mewtwo said. “Him or his servants.”
“That makes two of us,” Mervamon said. “In fact, several members on the Council don't trust him. But since the Council is supposed to be neutral, both good and bad Digimon comprise it. Got to take the good with the bad, I suppose.”
“Makes sense I guess,” Mewtwo said. “So now that Emperor Leomon is gone, does that mean someone else will take his place on the Council?”
“More than likely,” Mervamon said. “Though who, I don't know. Chances are they'll select another Beast Type Digimon.”
“Heeeyyy, Mervamon!”
Mervamon and Mewtwo turned at the sound of the voice. Floating on the surface of a lake was a seal-like Digimon with white fur and a tuft of orange hair on it's head.
“Hey, Gomamon,” Mervamon replied.
“Good to see you,” Gomamon said. “Care to join me for a swim?”
“I'm afraid I'll have to pass,” Mervamon said. “I'm on a mission right now.”
“Your loss,” Gomamon said. “If you pass through here again, don't be afraid to join me.” He winked at Mervamon and then dove underwater.
“What was that all about,” Mewtwo asked.
“Oh, that's just Gomamon,” Mervamon said. “He likes to flirt with me every time I pass through this area.”
“I'm getting the feeling you're quite popular,” Mewtwo said. “Meramon was practically singing your praises when you showed up at Digitamamon's restaurant.”
“Well, I do have a reputation,” Mervamon said.
“Somehow I don't think it's just your reputation they admire,” Mewtwo said, smirking.
“Watch it,” Mervamon growled.
Night had fallen and Mewtwo and Mervamon found themselves at the edge of the forest. Off in the distance Mewtwo saw a mountain.
“That's Mt. Infinity,” Mervamon said. “The central point of this island. And it's the tallest mountain around here. There's a pass we'll have to go through to reach Primary Village.”
“Are you going to be alright doing that,” Mewtwo asked. “After all, don't you have a fear of heights?”
“I'll manage,” Mervamon said. “As long as there's some solid ground underneath my feet, then I can get through it. Anyway, it's getting late, so we'll camp here and resume our journey in the morning.”
She sat down, back against a tree. Mewtwo stood gazing at the mountain. Just beyond it was Primary Village and a lead to Renamon. He was so close. He wondered what Renamon was doing right now. Was she turning in for the night as well? Was she thinking of him, wondering what he was doing?
“Hold on, Renamon,” he whispered. “I'll be there soon.”
