Chapter 1: Goldmon and Takuma's first Battle

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP:FIM and Digimon, I do own Takuma, Goldmon and it's Digivoultions.

It was moments ago that Goldmon and Takuma had met. Now the two were quickly making fast pace to get out of the Everfree Forest. Even though Goldmon was just born and showed incredible bravery in facing off against the Timber Wolves. Takuma knew he was in for a stern lecture if no that wasn't the right term WHEN Twilight Sparkle found out about him going into the Everfree Forest alone. To him Twilight Sparkle may have been a unicorn pony but she was like a motherly figure to him perhaps the only one he knew.

Takuma and Goldmon were just inches from the Everfree Forest's exit towards Ponyville as Goldmon asked "Where are we running towards?"

"We are just about to exit the Everfree Forest and enter Ponyville" Takuma answers smiling.

"Ponyville where's that?" Goldmon asked in a confused voice and Takuma supposed the Digimon had the right to question such things, when he was younger he did ask the same questions to Twilight Sparkle whom found him lying unconscious. So he answered the Digimon the same as she did "You are in the beautiful world of Equestria! A world completely filled with ponies and mythical creatures."

"Wow!" Goldmon muttered as he and the human stepped out of the Everfree Forest looking around the area as Takuma pointed outward to the orchard where he worked with an orange pony with blond mane and tail. She wore a cowboy like hat and her Cutie Mark was three apples "Goldmon this is Sweet Apple Arcers. It's the area where I help a friend named Applejack."

Goldmon couldn't help but smile "Nice orchard, can I help you and this Applejack?"

"I reckon she wouldn't mind in the end but I would like to keep you a secret at least for a little while" he looks at Goldmon closely then patted the Digimon on the head "Never really know how every pony would react...Trust me, the moment they saw a human for the first time, most split running away from me only six didn't."

"Wow" Goldmon muttered sarcastically "Talk about a warm welcome. Did they warm up to you?"

"Eventually" Takuma answers "Especially when I got my Digimon Battle Card Deck."

Goldmon just chuckled "Ha,ha." then the Digimon paused and his stomach literally growled causing Takuma to look up at it hiding back a small sweat drop while muttering out "Should've seen this coming." he silently face palmed after saying this shaking his head a little knowing he really should've expected this to come.

Goldmon looks up at Takuma "Uh, sorry."

Takuma just smiled "Oh, it's no big deal Goldmon. I'm just surprised that I didn't see this coming until it already happened." he looks around "Well, I don't suppose Applejack wouldn't mind if I took some of her apples." he reaches for his pocket to retrieve the bits "Hmm, this should be enough. Hate to take some of the apples she has around here without leaving any sort of payment behind."

He then looks at Goldmon as the Digimon looks at him as well "What?"

"If any pony asks, you're a stuffed animal" He told him and Goldmon mouthed out "WHAT?"

"Sorry I know you're a Digimon " Takuma told the Digimon "but, I'm just saying if we run into any pony, just to give you some sort of cover."

Goldmon nodded understandingly "Alright."

Takuma then lead Goldmon to Sweet Apple Arcers. Looking around for Applejack. He found her or rather she saw him first. The orange hard working Earth Pony gladly walks down to talk to him and once he heard her coming towards him. Once he saw her, he didn't even half to mention to Goldmon to act like a stuffed animal because the scorpion Digimon was already acting. Takuma then uses the spell he learned from Twilight Sparkle to not only shrink himself and Goldmon to Applejack's size.

"Why, I be, if it isn't my friend Takuma, what brings you to my orchard?" she asks and Takuma answers "Following a light that came out of" he brings out the golden device he had gotten earlier "Whatever this thing is."

"Never seen that before" Applejack admitted then she looked at him "So where did this light go?"

"Towards the Everfree Forest" Takuma answered and Applejack looked at him "Oh-no Takuma, you didn't go into it alone did ya?"

Takuma sweat dropped "I sort of did..."

"Ah Takuma, Takuma, Takuma" Applejack muttered shaking her head "Why did ya have to enter it alone, you know you could've stopped by here and I would've came with you."

"Well, it was a decision that was made at a split second, I didn't expect the light to get into the middle of the forest. Besides, I figured that the Everfree Forest was a danger to ponies and not to humans." He looks down and around "Now I'll admit that was a big mistake...I'll never go into the Everfree Forest again at least without any pony with me."

"Ah, it was a good adventure for you" Applejack said then added on "So what did the light present?"

Takuma shows Applejack Goldmon "For some odd reason, the light went to this...A stuffed animal?"

"What they hay?" Applejack asked looking at Takuma and Goldmon she even went so far into touching Goldmon's tail which Goldmon let the tail go to the ground and once Applejack removed her hoof from the Scorpion Digimon's tail Goldmon kept the tail down as if he was a stuffed animal. Only when she went back to the conversation with Takuma did, Goldmon straighten up his tail but he did make sure to do it slowly.

Takuma then dug into his pocket to take out bits "Say Applejack, may I take two apples from your orchard?

"Sure" Applejack said "And don't worry about the payment, you help me out long enough to earn a few apples in fact, I'll give ya three."

Goldmon watches Applejack carefully lift up her hind hooves and give the closest apple tree a powerful kick with them. Takuma retrieves three apples with Goldmon literally jaw dropping he had never imagined a little pony like Applejack to have a strong kick.

"Thanks Applejack" Takuma tells her whom smiles at him replying "You're welcome. Well gotta get back to the library, Twilight's out of town for at least one day until tomorrow night, so Spike and I have to look over the place."

Applejack smiles "Well then, you might want to go there then but will you be helping me out tomorrow morning as planned?"

Takuma smiles "Of course! When have you known me to not come to help? Besides I've grown to like it."

Applejack gives another nod to him "Well that's good. See ya later!"

Takuma and Goldmon walk off with Applejack just shaking her head smiling. She enjoyed her time working alongside such an honest human. He was a hard worker and fulfilled his promises.

He and Goldmon stroll alongside each other as Takuma hands the Digimon the apples "Thanks Takuma!" Goldmon said "So who was that?"

"That was Applejack" he told the Digimon "She's the most honest pony I know. Also perhaps the most hard working pony I know. Also she's a great friend."

Goldmon just blinked in response as he ate the first apple before speaking out "She's not only that, she has a strong kick, I wouldn't want to be bucked by her."

"Knocking down three apples from a tree, isn't much to her" Takuma said "I've seen her buck one of her Apple trees and all of the apples fell!"

This nearly got the poor Rookie Level Digimon to nearly choke on the apple he was currently eating "WHAT? SHE KNOCKS ALL OF IT'S APPLES OFF?"

Takuma brought his finger up to his mouth indicating when they got to Ponyville for the Digimon to not shout like that and Goldmon nods understandingly, not wanting the ponies to run away in a panic, and it was getting night outside. Goldmon couldn't help but notice that night didn't just come like it did in the Digital World "Uh, what just happened?"

"Oh yeah" Takuma said "I guess I did forget to tell you that Equestria has two rulers both Princesses, they have possibly the hardest job in the world, one Princess Celestia is in charge of raising the sun, so-"

"She's in charge of bringing the morning!" Goldmon caught on.

"Exactly" Takuma answers now the second Princess, Celestia's sister Luna has the power and duty to bring the night, so can you guess what she raises?"

"THE MOON!" Goldmon shouted a bit loud which caused Takuma to look around to see if any pony heard. Luckily every pony must've been home so that they didn't hear the Digimon.

"Correct" Takuma just looks up as he leads Goldmon to the library where he, Spike and Twilight usually lived in "Now we are home."

He opens the door and Goldmon looks in it, and was surprised for the second time in his life for Takuma had lead him to a library. The Digimon quickly takes notice of Spike whom was dusting the book shelves. Seeing the purple baby dragon caused him to look at it trying to figure out if Spike was a Digimon or not. As if sensing what Goldmon was thinking Takuma answers smiling while whispering to the Digimon "That's a real Baby Dragon, his name is Spike."

The Digimon replies to Takuma in his own low voice it wasn't a whisper but it was low enough for Spike not to hear it "Wow, you did say Equestria was habited mostly by ponies and some mythical creatures. Man it will make it nearly impossible to tell which is a creature of this world or Digimon."

Takuma smiles as Spike notices him "Oh hey there Takuma! I see you found something..." the baby Dragon touches Goldmon's head "What is it? Some sort of stuffed animal?"

"Yes" Takuma said in a matter of fact voice.

"Where did the light lead you to?" Spike asked.

Takuma looks at him "Yeah, I followed it and I'm sure Twilight's going to give me a lecture on where it lead too."

Spike had the feeling he now knew where Takuma was getting "No, way, it didn't lead you to the Everfree Forest."

Takuma nods "Yes, it did."

Spike then gulped "Wouldn't want to be in your shoes if Twilight Sparkle fines out about it."

Takuma looks at Spike with a look of concern "Tell me about it, that's not IF Twilight Sparkle fines out about me going to the Everfree Forest, it's WHEN she fines out about it and you know she's bound to find out about going THREW IT."

"I suppose your right" Spike answers then he shouts out in a worried tone "WENT THREW IT?" Takuma nods and Spike is even more worried "Oh man, you really are in for it when she gets back, and your right, it's not IF she fines out about it but WHEN. She's going to ground you for life."

"Unless I can explain why I did it" Takuma agrees "But I doubt any pony seen me go threw it."

"Not even Applejack?" Spike asked.

"Not even Applejack" Takuma said.

"Hmm, you're lucky then you just might get away with it, I'll keep my mouth shut" Spike said to him.

"That'll only work if she doesn't spot the stuffed animal that I found where the light lead me" Takuma said with Spike nodding giving him some good advise "Better hide it really well then."

Takuma gets up "Well, even if I do hide it real well, she'll find it sooner or later, but I'll just have to tell her when she gets home and get it over with."

Spike nods sympathetically "Well, it is very late tonight so by afternoon tomorrow Twilight will be here,"

"That reminds me" Takuma said to Spike, "You'll be the only one here for the morning, I'm going to be working with Applejack tomorrow, and I'm going to bring the stuffed animal with me."

"That might be the best thing for now" Spike admitted.

Takuma went into his room and closed the door turning to Goldmon "Stuffed?"

"Yes" Goldmon said "So who is this Twilight Sparkle? You're mother?"

Takuma looks at Goldmon with surprise "Well in a way she is my mother, but she's the one that raised me when she found me here, I guess she would be my adopted mother. But Twilight Sparkle is a Unicorn that studies really well and the librarian of this library."

"I see" Goldmon said he then remembered that Takuma had shrunk them and might've forgotten about it "But um, why did you shrink us?"

"Well, naturally, the ponies here are small and need houses to live in, so they built their houses big enough for them, the spell I learned from Twilight Sparkle by her constantly using it on me but don't worry I'll change us back to normal size tomorrow when I go to work with Applejack tomorrow morning but for now...Let's get to sleep."

Goldmon nods and falls asleep.

Meanwhile a Zebra was at the sight where Takuma had been in. She had a bad feeling about this whole thing. Her zebra senses went off telling her that this creature of another world was a good thing.

"It appears that the creature of another world might bring chaos to this world...Takuma, you'd better know what your up against when you got this creature." she spoke cautiously "You were very lucky to survive coming in the Everfree Forest alone!" the Zebra then walked towards her hut not sure of what was to become.

For the remainder of the evening Takuma and Goldmon had a wonderful night. Well mostly wonderful, during the night Takuma had a weird dream. One about what appeared to be a female human. Only he couldn't make her detail out, only she was a girl. What appeared to be in front of her was a Digimon a Lynxmon. Normally Takuma would've called her crazy but he then saw another Digimon, this one was a shadow still but seemed to appear to be some sort of fox. As he dreams on he gets the knowledge of what the digivice was, a D-Arch. It was if he knew who would win as the girl simply swipes a card and the Digimon she had seemed to vanish and destroys the Lynxmon.

He wakes up and looks around. The Morning sun was beginning to rise as he sat up then spoke "That explains a lot." he looks at his D-arch then looked at his Digimon Battle Card game. He takes his deck and shoves it into his pocket.

He then looks at the sleeping Goldmon then gets out of bed speaking up "Wakey wakey Goldmon, we've got to get to Applejack's orchard."

"Just a few more minutes" Goldmon begged.

Takuma just brings a hand to his face muttering "Please don't make me do what Spike did to me the first day here."

The Scorpion Digimon was not moving an inch from it's sleeping place. Causing Takuma to fetch a pail of water "Don't say I didn't warn you Goldmon."

He then pours the pail of water waking Goldmon up "WHAT THE?" it asks as it was taken by surprise "Takuma! There is a really bad water leak!"

Takuma had to hold back his laughter as he and Goldmon make eye contact "No we don't, I had to wake you up somehow!"

Goldmon just looks at it's tamer understandingly. Takuma then puts on his backpack and opened it "Goldmon get in the backpack"

The Scorpion Digimon looks confused but obeys. Takuma opens the bed room door and looks around. Spike was in Twilight's room still sleeping in his bed. He sees Spike open one sleepy eye "Good luck Takumi!"

"Thanks Spike, well your the only one here!" Takuma said he then sets foot out the door grabbing some stuff for him and Goldmon to eat. Once outside Takuma opens his backpack allowing Goldmon to look out of it and breathe, Takuma passed Goldmon the items he had brought with him for the Digimon to eat which Goldmon gladly Takuma paused speaking up "I'll give you a tour of Ponyville later on."

"Alright!" Goldmon replies "I'm going to get some sleep while you work, is that okay?"

"Of course it is, it'll give us some more time to keep you a secret from the other Ponies" Takuma said.

Takuma pauses to throw the remains of the fruit away in the trash can letting Goldmon sleep in the backpack. Takuma hurries off towards Applejack's Orchard where she was waiting for him. She seems to smile at the human "Why good morning Takuma!" she says "Glad you can make it this morning."

"Like I said yesterday" Takuma said winking at her causing the pony to smile "I will never stop working along side you, so where do we start picking these apples?"

Applejack looks around "Well that's the thing, before we start, I'd like to ask ya for your help for harvesting the Zap Apples."

Takuma thinks about this Zap Apples were tricky apples. They came at a certain amount of time and had extreme rules, such as if you didn't pick all the Zap Apples in one day when it was time...They just disappeared. He looks at Applejack smiling "Sure, I'll help you so when is this harvest?"

"Within sometime around next week" Applejack said "Granny Smith has been listening to the signs but so far she's guessing they are coming sometime next week."

"You have my word for it!" Takuma said and then Applejack points over to an area of Apple trees "Well for starters why don't ya start to our right, I'll handle the Apple Trees to the left, we'll meet at the middle."

"Alright" Takuma said.

He began on his side of the orchard. It was a big, big, big area and he wondered how Applejack was able to handle every single Apple Tree when her brother Big Macintosh was injured. Twilight made a solid point that Applejack fainted after realizing that there was one section of Apple Trees left. As he worked neither Applejack or Takuma realized that a strange fog was going to develop them.

They were unaware that there was someone that was in Equestria. The same Zebra from the night before was standing on her head when she felt this disturbance "Is everything mad?" she demanded "Something big, is about come and undergo! Takuma...This disturbance will be your first test."

The Zebra wasn't the only one that sensed this approach for on Earth, the organization Hypnos had also detected the single.

"Sir!" a girl reported to the man in the black suit "We're getting a live wild one single!"

"Where is it?" he demanded.

"Even though we are getting it, we still can't exactly pin point it's exact location!" a second girl replied.

The man just frowned "Try to zone in on it!"

"Yes sir!" the two girls shouted trying to type away at their computers but were not able to get the exact location.

Seeing this the man frowned even more "Darn it!" He hissed out "Why is it impossible to find out where the location of the last two Wild Ones are."

One of the girls typed in "True we couldn't track the one before it but we believe someone tamed it as it didn't go attacking."

"Tamed?" the man asked in a deep warning tone he itched towards his lighter using his finger to it "Do we know who?"

"Sadly no" the second girl said.

"What is blocking these Wild Ones?" the man asked he looks at the two girls "Whatever is blocking it, we'll have to put the pressure on it and find out who and where these Wild Ones are coming from!"

"YES, SIR" was the response.

The two girls got back to work with the man speaking up his mind "I will not lose this next lead."

In Sweet Apple Arcers, Takuma and Applejack were working. They had been working the whole morning.

He had just gathered the apples in the right area and was just helping Applejack with the rest of the area when Applejack decided for the two of them to take a little break.

"I reckon that we've did enough of this at the moment" Applejack said "Let's take a break."

"Thanks Applejack" Takuma said as he and the pony sat down with Takuma accidentally popped down against a rock and Goldmon gave out a moan "Umph!"

Applejack cocked her ear then turned towards Takuma "Ya say something?"

Takuma looks at her "Not really just hit my back against the rock that's all."

"You okay then?" she asks him and he responds "Yes, I'm fine."

It was then the fog came over the area and Applejack looks up at the fog "What the hay?"

"Good question" Takuma said as Applejack looked around "The Pegasus Ponies weren't planning onto the fog to set in this morning!"

It was at this time when Goldmon sensed it shouting "TAKUMA! DROP!"

"What the hay?" Applejack asked as she heard this and to her surprise she was something burst out of Takuma's backpack and jump in front of the Pony and the human "Uh Takuma, did I just see your stuffed animal burst out of your backpack?"

"Yes, you did Applejack" Takuma said then he spoke out "Goldmon?"

"Goldmon?" Applejack asked and the Scorpion Digimon whirls around shaking Applejack's hoof "The name's Goldmon!"

Applejack saw Takuma looking nervous but she actually smiled shaking Goldmon's pincher "Well howdy do Goldmon!" Applejack said "The name's Applejack." she looks at Takuma "Something you'd want to explain on what exactly is happening?"

Takuma nodded "Well promise you won't tell any pony?"

"Cross my heart" Applejack said.

Takuma then explained how that in fact Goldmon was originally a Digimon that he drew in the library and appeared in that light he followed in the Everfree Forest. He and Applejack looked at Goldmon as Applejack looks at him "Don't worry Takuma, Goldmon is okay," "Thanks" he turns to Goldmon "What is going on here Goldmon?"

"Don't know myself" Goldmon said "But this field isn't a normal fog...I sense another Digimon...One that's after something."

"So this must be a Digimon field?" Takuma asked.

"I don't get it" Applejack muttered she looks at Takuma "Don't you know anything?"

"Hey, all I know about Digimon is from that show and the card game, even though I believed they existed, I don't know much about what's going on! I guess you can say I just started being a tamer though."

Suddenly Goldmon lunged out a warning "Applejack! Takuma! Down!"

Applejack and Takuma ducked and accidentally hit each other on the head "Ouch!"

They then watched as Goldmon blocked a red boxing glove punch with his pinchers. Then the Fog subsided revealing the attacker.

"What sort of Digimon is that Takuma?" Applejack asked.

Takuma focused on the the Digimon but it turned out Goldmon had already answered the answer by making eye contact with him. He then takes out his D-arch as Applejack asked "Where did you get that?"

"Got it right before I found Goldmon" Takuma answered "Now let's see who this Digimon is."

He then pauses watching as the D-arch reveals the full Digimon it appeared to be some sort of dog with boxing gloves as Takuma speaks up "It's Gaomon, a Rookie Level Digimon with a mean uppercut."

"Leave it to me!" Goldmon said.

"You mean leave this Gaomon to us" Takuma said with Goldmon nodding "You got it!"

Applejack watches as Takuma studies the battlefield and to her it looked like he was like Twilight Sparkle studying from her scrolls.

Goldmon strikes out with it's tail breaking up the fight with Gaomon. Gaomon comes back though "Double Back Hand!"

It starts to spin around like a tornado unleashing unseen punches.

"Whoa watch out Goldmon!" Applejack shouted.

"I've got it" Goldmon replies and the Scorpion Digimon does timing it perfectly then stopped both of Gaomon's fist.

Then used Gaomon's speed to it's advantage throwing it onto the ground. Gaomon gets up charging in when Goldmon saw it coming at him "Venom Spray!"

Goldmon used it's tail and sprayed successfully sprayed Gaomon in it's eyes causing the Digimon to stop rubbing it's eyes. When Goldmon comes in towards it's foe then whipped out it's tail catching Gaomon across his chest. He falls down onto the ground rolling on it's back.

It was at this point Takuma turns to Applejack both knowing the question where Fluttershy the yellow Pegasus Pony with a pink mane, pink tail and three butterflies for her Cutie Mark both had then together spoke "I won't tell Fluttershy if you don't!"

Fluttershy was a pony whom took care of animals no matter the size Twilight Sparkle had stated that she seen Fluttershy take a bear on with ease. She also tamed a half lion half scorpion mythical creature. Fluttershy would hate to see such things but both Applejack and Takuma knew that in order to protect Ponyville from this Digimon, Goldmon had to fight it. Normally they would try to solve it in a friendly manner but that wasn't the case.

They watch as Gaomon dust off it's eyes from Goldmon's venom. Then dodge Goldmon's tail sting then spoke "Rolling Upper!"

It then lashed out an uppercut catching Goldmon off guard causing the Scorpion Digimon to be flying into the air with Applejack watching with worry as Goldmon landed on the ground dazed a bit. Gaomon charges in "Time to finish the job! Gao Rush!"

Gaomon charges in towards Goldmon unleashing powerful punches high speed like.

"Oh-no, Goldmon can only block two fists not multiple ones!" Applejack told Takuma "Goldmon will need Fluttershy to heal him!"

"Not sure if she could heal a Digimon" Takuma said "But I'd rather not take him to Fluttershy not at this moment."

"I see your afraid of what the other Ponies would think about him" Applejack said and Takuma nodded but she watches as Takuma remembers what he seen in his dream "Hold on though Applejack, Goldmon is going to win!"

"How?" Applejack said.

Takuma brings up his D-arch "Thanks to a dream I had last night, I can do this!" then pulled out a card "By taking Gaomon with surprise!"

He spins the selected card around gaining it in his hand then he slide it threw the card slot "Digi-Modify!" he pauses letting the card read threw "Teleportation Activate!"

This caught Applejack off guard as she heard it then she smiles as Goldmon appears to vanish from Gaomon's sights. Gaomon stops at once looking "Hugh where did it go?"

Takuma knows and he just watches as Goldmon appears in the sky falling then knowing their first victory was theirs "Tail Stinger!" Goldmon shouts stinging Gaomon's neck. Gaomon feels the stinger and burst apart in millions of data particles which Goldmon wastes no time in absorbing the data. Goldmon then returns as he jumps into Takuma's opened arms. The Scorpion Digimon wastes no time in looking at Applejack whom smiles at the two "Well I'll be Takuma, you're very first Digimon friend. You two were really in sink with one another, it was as if you were playing a real Digimon Battle Card game and Goldmon was your Digimon."

"Thanks Applejack!" Goldmon said as Takuma looks at her "So is it okay if I bring Goldmon to help us with the work around here?"

"Of course!" Applejack said to Goldmon "Why it saved our lives from Gaomon!"

"F-F-Friends then?" Goldmon asked the orange pony whom smiles "Of course Goldmon, we the Apple Family in Sweet Apple Acres love to meet new friends. You can even help us work today when break is over."

"You mean it's not over?" Takuma asks Applejack.

Applejack winks at him "No, sorry it's not over!" She winks at him "We were interrupted by the attack, heck let's take a bit more time for the break. That way we can explain what we do to the apples."

"Okay sounds good" Goldmon told her.

The three sat down for another break, when Takuma asks Applejack "Applejack, you must promise me that no matter who asks if you know about Goldmon, that you don't know about it...At least until Twilight Sparkle finds out, I don't want all the ponies running away from Goldmon as they did to me."

Applejack chuckled "Not every pony ran from ya, Twilight didn't and when I met ya shortly when she was giving you a tour of Ponyville, I didn't."

Takuma looks at her as she smiles "Besides, I won't tell any pony or anyone that asks about Goldmon." she and Takuma shake hands/hooves "Promise."

Takuma then smiles as he asks Applejack the next question "Pinkie Pie swear?"

Applejack rolls her eyes laughing at what Takuma asked her to do, their friend Pinkie Pie's swear "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

This puzzled Goldmon "Cross your what, hope to what, stick a what in your eye?"

Takuma answers "It's our friend Pinkie Pie's swear, trust me, you'll meet her one day,"

Goldmon just mutters out "What a weird phrase."

This got Applejack and Takuma to laugh at Goldmon's remark.

End of chapter.
