Opening Narration
Narrator: After that rather spectacular brawl in Dr. Loboto’s lair, that group of misfits decided to head back to the Mystery Shack. These young adventurers needed their rest once that fight with Loboto’s Kuwagamon was over, after all. The group and the Diginauts arrived at the Mystery Shack exhausted and hungry. What could be waiting for them? Let’s find out, shall we?

Part One
(The scene takes place at the Mystery Shack, where Coraline, her human and digimon friends and the Diginauts arrived after their earlier ordeal with Dr. Loboto and Kuwagamon)

Sasha: We finally arrived.

Mabel: Wait until Grunkle Stan hears about this! (Everyone approaches the Mystery Shack entrance as a strange lizard wearing wolf-like fur opened the door)

Gabumon: Hello and welcome to the Mystery Shack. (Gabumon soon realizes that it’s the kids and some friends) Oh, sorry about that. I thought you were guests. (A man with a question mark on his shirt walked out of the Mystery Shack)

Soos: Hey, dudes!

Dipper and Mabel: Hi there, Soos!

Soos: Did you guys go to that lab? (Soos sees all of the new digimon that Dipper and Mabel befriended) Oh cool! I’m Soos. I’m one of their friends.

Lunamon: It’s a pleasure to meet you, Soos.

Mabel: You should’ve been there! It was crazy!

Milla: I hate to interrupt, but we have to talk to Stanford Pines about something important and if there are any medical supplies in the lab, we need them to heal this boy’s digimon.

Soos: Oh, he’s in the lab. Follow me. (Soos guides Sasha, WarGreymon, Norman, Milla and MetalGarurumon to Stanford. Gabumon follows them)

Oleander: Alright kids, listen up! (Everyone gives Coach Oleander their attention) It’s occurred to me that you will need digimon of your own if you want to properly defend yourselves from people like Dr. Loboto, so I’m going to give you all something only reserved for Diginauts! (Oleander takes out nine special, differently colored devices from his pocket) I present to you the Digi-Phones! (Coraline politely takes the orange Digi-Phone) This will help digimon digivolve when you’re in a pinch, but if you want to use it effectively, then you need to start training. Each Digi-Phone will only work with the tamer whose data gets scanned into that phone. (Coraline begins messing with the Digi-Phone. Coraline impulsively presses the wrong button, causing a bizarre program to scan her eyes)

Coraline: Wait, what just happened?

Oleander: You just scanned your data into the phone, Miss-

Coraline: Coraline.

Oleander: Coraline. Now you’re stuck with that one. If you wanted a different Digi-Phone, then too bad! (Coraline made a frustrated look as the other kids except Lili and Raz chose their Digi-Phones)

Raz: Why would we need Digi-Phones? We have digimon partners already.

Oleander: You’re been using the training wheels up until now, Raz, so you and Lili get to use the real thing. (Raz and Lili both scan their eyes with their Digi-Phones) Now, you’ll have to do the same thing to the digimon of your choosing. (Zubamon grabbed Wybie’s Digi-Phone, scanned him and then scanned himself)

Wybie: Why did you do that?

Zubamon: You seem really nervous, so I thought I’d make you more confident. We didn’t introduce ourselves, did we?

Wybie: Come to think of it, we never had the time to do that. I’m Wybie.

Zubamon: I’m Zubamon. (All the other digimon introduced themselves to the kids and the kids did the same) Well, now that that’s over and done with, let’s start digivolving to Champion! (Bearmon becomes alert)

Bearmon: Digivolve?

Zubamon: Yup! (Zubamon notices Bearmon becoming nervous) Huh? What’s the matter?

Bearmon: I don’t want to digivolve!

Kotemon: We’re all going to become Champion-level digimon, Bearmon. What’s wrong with that?

Bearmon: It scares me!

Ludomon: Don’t be ridiculous, Bearmon. Every digimon has to digivolve at some point. That’s just how things are. Don’t worry over something that will eventually happen.

Bearmon: (Bearmon starts backing up) Please don’t make me digivolve! I don’t want to! (Bearmon flees into the forest)

Lunamon: Bearmon, wait up! Don’t run away! (Bearmon runs too far away into the forest to be seen) Bearmon sure is fast.

Coraline: I’ll go get him.

Kotemon: Let me and Dipper tag along, Coraline. As the oldest Rookie-level digimon here, I’ll try to talk to him.

Dipper: Besides, we might be able keep up with him in the golf kart, now let’s hurry! (Dipper, Coraline and Kotemon hop into the golf kart and drive off to find Bearmon)

Oleander: Don’t take too long! We all have some training to do later!

(The scene changes to Stanford’s lab, where Norman and the Diginauts are speaking to Stanford)

Norman: Please help Vi-Elecmon, Ford! Vi-Elecmon is badly hurt! (Ford quickly looks at Vi-Elecmon)

Ford: I’ve got just the thing, Norman. Follow me. (Norman and the others take Vi-Elecmon to a capsule-like device and place him inside of it) This device is a Healing Pod. I designed it in case I injured myself during an experiment. It works on humans and digimon.

Sasha: This seems quite useful, given that humans are not the only ones working here. (Sasha looks at Monodramon and Agumon, who are hard at work fixing some broken machines) I’m Sasha Nein of the Diginauts. This is Milla Vodello and our digimon, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. Our

Ford: The Diginauts? Fascinating. So Diginauts do exist?

Sasha: Indeed, we do. In any case, I would like to get to the point. We would like to work in your lab for a short while. Let’s just say that there are mysteries for us to look into.

Ford: Then you’ve come to the right place, Sasha. Besides, I’ve been getting exhausted working on so many things at once, so the more help around the lab, the better. (Alarms start going off around the lab)

Milla: What’s wrong?!

Ford: An emergency!

Norman: It’s not Vi-Elecmon, is it?! Is he going to be okay?!

Ford: Vi-Elecmon is doing fine right now! The alarm went off because of something happening outside! (Ford and the others run toward the computer. Ford begins typing on it) There’s a forest fire several miles away!

Sasha: How far away is it?

Ford: If the data indicates anything, it should be a fifty miles from here. (Ford analyzes the data a bit further) Oh no.

Soos: It’s never good when Ford goes “Oh no.”

Sasha: What’s going on?

Ford: The fire is heading directly toward us! (Everyone gasps) Excuse me, MetalGarurumon, but which of them is your partner?

MetalGarurumon: Sasha.

Ford: You and Sasha head to the forest fire and put it out. Firefighters won’t get there fast enough, so you need to hurry. Milla, you help me to monitor the wildfire. Soos, alert the children and make sure nobody goes the fire’s direction. This could get dangerous.

Part Two
(The scene is in the middle of the woods, where Coraline, Dipper and Kotemon are lost looking for Bearmon)

Coraline: Bearmon! Bearmon, where are you?! Dipper, we’ve been at this for what feels like almost an hour. Where could he have possibly gone?

Dipper: Bears are pretty fast, Coraline. He might be even further out than we thought.

Coraline: Why do you think he’s so scared of digivolving, Kotemon?

Kotemon: You need to understand. Bearmon is awfully young, so he never met any digimon stronger than a Rookie-level. There’s a place where digimon are raised called Primary Village. Once an In-Training digimon reaches Rookie, they’re supposed to leave the village and live their own lives.

Coraline: Can someone explain to me what digimon “levels” are?

Kotemon: Digimon have different life stages. This is common knowledge to us digimon. We start of as Baby, then In-Training, and then go from Rookie, to Champion, to Ultimate and then to Mega. Of course, there’s also Ultra, but that rarely happens. In other rare instances, you’ll find an Armor-level digimon as well, but you need special things called Digi-Eggs for that.

Dipper: Maybe Bearmon never met any digimon stronger than a Rookie and Kuwagamon gave him a bad impression?

Kotemon: Most likely.

Coraline: He’s practically a kid like us. (Kotemon noticed some footprints on the ground)

Kotemon: Stop the kart! (Dipper abruptly stops the kart) I see footprints! Bearmon’s footprints!

Coraline: How do you know it’s Bearmon?

Kotemon: The footprints are a match. I admit that I’m not the smartest digimon in the world, but these are definitely Bearmon’s footprints.

Coraline: Well, let’s follow them. (Coraline gets out her Digi-Phone and messes with it until she can call one of her friends) Hello? Raz? You there, Raz? Why won’t he answer?

Dipper: I don’t know, Coraline. Let me try. (Dipper tries calling Mabel, but the same thing happens) Something isn’t right here. There’s no signal. We must be too far away from the Mystery Shack. (Dipper, Kotemon and Coraline get out of the golf kart and begin following the footprints. Several minute later, they find a scared Bearmon eating honey out of a beehive that had no living bees defending it left)

Coraline: Bearmon, what are doing?

Bearmon: I eat when I’m scared.

Coraline: Why are you scared? You can talk to us about it.

Bearmon: Well, have you ever heard of Primary Village?

Coraline: Kotemon was talking to us about that, actually.

Bearmon: Oh, well I left Primary Village a short while ago. As I was leaving the village, I fell through a big hole and ended up here. Then Kuwagamon showed up and gathered me and other digimon to that lab. Kuwagamon was big and scary! I don’t want to digivolve into something like that!

Kotemon: Most digimon digivolve into Champion-levels at some point, Bearmon.

Coraline: I guess it’s something that naturally happens. Think of it as growing up.

Bearmon: But I don’t want to grow up! I want to stay a Rookie forever. (A loud scream echoes through the forest) What was that?

Coraline: Dipper, do mountain lions live near Gravity Falls?

Dipper: Definitely, but I wouldn’t be too concerned. A Rookie-level digimon is more than capable of scaring a mountain lion off. (Coraline and Dipper’s phones begin to get glitchy and making random noises. Some force begins pulling Bearmon, Coraline, Dipper and Kotemon into a bizarre barrier that became visible)

Coraline: What’s happening?!

Dipper: I have no clue! Everyone hold on! (Everyone gets sucked into the barrier)

(The scene changes to Sasha and MetalGarurumon flying toward the forest fire)

Sasha: (Sasha takes out his Digi-Phone) Milla, I reached the fire!

Milla: How bad is it?

Sasha: I’ve never seen a blaze this big before! It’s big enough to engulf the entire town!

MetalGarurumon: We need to extinguish it pronto!

Sasha: There’s no time to waste!

Milla: Stanford wants to talk to you!

Ford: This is Ford! How fast do you think you can put this out?

Sasha: It’s so hot out that the fire is spreading too fast for any firefighters to deal with! It will most likely take a long while to put it all out, but I think we can handle this ourselves!

Ford: Good! Now get moving!

(The scene changes to Coraline, Bearmon, Kotemon and Dipper inside the barrier)

Coraline: (Coraline, having just gotten pulled into the barrier, just got back up off her feet) What just happened? (Everyone starts looking around. Dipper notices the bizarre-looking sky, which is now comprised of zeroes and ones)

Dipper: We seem to be in a pocket dimension. You’d be surprised how often things like this happen to me. Kotemon, are you and Bearmon okay?

Kotemon: We’re both fine, Dipper.

Coraline: Good, now let’s get out of this place. (Coraline notices her hair is got messed up when she fell and begins trying to fix it as she and the others try to find a way out of the pocket dimension) The fall messed up my hair. (Bearmon starts sniffing the air. He immediately becomes alert)

Bearmon: Uh oh.

Coraline: What’s wrong?

Bearmon: I smell danger. It smells like fire. (Everyone hears the sound of something running toward them. They turn to a light source behind them. A large, fiery cat-like creature almost pounces on Bearmon, but everyone manages to dodge the giant cat as it lets out a mountain lion-like scream)

Kotemon: That’s a Lynxmon! I thought they lived in the tropics.

Bearmon: Maybe we can get Lynxmon to leave us alone.

Dipper: I don’t know if that’s possible, Bearmon. If my knowledge on animals has taught me anything, it’s that this digimon is most likely hungry, but we can try. (Everyone gets backed into a corner because of a rock behind them)

Lynxmon: Hungry... Food...

Coraline: Listen, we don’t mean any harm. Please let us go home, Lynxmon.

Lynxmon: No go home... Only eat... Eat... Eat!! (Lynxmon makes another mountain lion-like scream as Coraline and the others get ready for a fight)

Part Three
(The scene is the pocket dimension, where Coraline, Bearmon, Dipper and Kotemon are about to do battle with Lynxmon)

Lynxmon: Food... Hungry...

Kotemon: I have this! Hothead! (Kotemon slashes Lynxmon with a fiery sword, which did absolutely nothing, surprising Kotemon) What?! Why didn’t it work?!

Dipper: You can’t burn a cat that’s made of fire, Kotemon! (Kotemon began blushing in embarrassment while dodging Lynxmon’s claw swipes)

Kotemon: Oh. My bad.

Lynxmon: Thermal Mane! (Coraline and the others get behind the rock as a wave of fire consumes the forest surrounding them)

Coraline: Can’t someone just punch that big fireball?

Bearmon: I don’t want to get my paws burnt, Coraline, but we’ll think of something! (Coraline takes out her Digi-Phone and scans Bearmon) What was that?

Coraline: You’re my digimon partner, Bearmon. Please be careful. (Bearmon and Kotemon get out of hiding and fight Lynxmon)

Bearmon: Over here, kitty! (Lynxmon tries pouncing on Bearmon, only to miss. Kotemon tried hitting Lynxmon, only for Lynxmon to dodge and slash Kotemon, sensing him flying and making him land near Dipper)

Dipper: Kotemon! (Lynxmon uses his teeth to grab Coraline’s arm and toss her to the ground) Coraline! (Bearmon becomes terrified for Coraline’s safety and, after taking a deep breath, he charges at Lynxmon as Coraline’s Digi-Phone’s screen begins glowing and Bearmon’s body gains an orange glow)

Bearmon: Bearmon, digivolve to... (An awesome digivolution sequence plays out as Bearmon digivolves to his Champion form) Grizzlymon!!

Lynxmon: What?! (Grizzlymon swipes Lynxmon with his claws)

Grizzlymon: Get away from my bestest friend ever, you walking fireplace! (Coraline looks at Grizzlymon with surprise. Her arm starts hurting because of Lynxmon biting it earlier)

Coraline: That smarts. (Dipper and Kotemon immediately rush to Coraline to monitor her health)

Dipper: Kotemon, we have to keep watch over Coraline. If Grizzlymon fails, your our only hope.

Grizzlymon: Stand back, everyone! Time for me to get tough! (Grizzlymon stands on his hind legs and roars at Lynxmon, the latter screaming at Grizzlymon in turn) Take this, feline! (Grizzlymon tries slashing Lynxmon but misses. Lynxmon tries pouncing on Grizzlymon, but Grizzlymon pushes Lynxmon off of him)

Lynxmon: Thermal Mane! (Grizzlymon manages to avoid the wave of fire produced by Lynxmon)

Grizzlymon: You missed, Lynxmon!

Lynxmon: Just starting... Hungry... Eat... You... (Lynxmon and Grizzlymon slash each other with their claws. Lynxmon tries pouncing on Grizzlymon and succeeds, but Grizzlymon throws Lynxmon aside a long distance, Lynxmon quickly gets back up and ready to run at Grizzlymon) Feeeeeediiing!!! (Lynxmon runs at top speed toward Grizzlymon and leaps toward him)

Grizzlymon: Feed on this! Maul Attack! (Grizzlymon’s claws glow orange as he seemingly slashed Lynxmon as Lynxmon’s claws seemingly slashed Grizzlymon. It isn’t known who actually struck who, but after several seconds, Lynxmon falls down) And stay down! (Grizzlymon begins breathing heavily, as if having an anxiety attack)

Coraline: You did it, Grizzlymon! (Coraline’s arm starts hurting again) Ow ow ow ow.

Grizzlymon: You’re hurt, Coraline.

Dipper: Try not to move your arm. We’ll get you medical help when we get back to the Mystery Shack.

Lynxmon: Should have...listened... (Everyone’s attention turns to Lynxmon)

Coraline: Huh? Listened to what?

Lynxmon: Orders...

Dipper: Wait, someone ordered you to do something? What was it?

Lynxmon: Burn shack... Hunt instead... Burn forest... Lure out prey...

Dipper: Hold up. Did you just say you caused a forest fire, Lynxmon?

Lynxmon: Big fire... Try to hunt... To eat...

Coraline: Who sent you, you big fiery hair ball?! Who ordered you to burn the Mystery Shack?!

Lynxmon: Disobeyed Hookmon and other ones... Hookmon hunt... I flee... (Lynxmon’s body begins to turn into pixels as Lynxmon begins getting deleted) So... Hungry... (Lynxmon disappears, leaving behind a lynx-skin rug and destroying the pocket dimension that Coraline and the others were in, returning them to the forest. They immediately notice that the forest around them had been burned and that Sasha and MetalGarurumon were searching for something or someone)

Dipper: Hey! Down here! (Sasha and MetalGarurumon heard Dipper and landed next Grizzlymon, who de-digivolved back into Bearmon)

Sasha: Razputin told me you, Kotemon and Coraline ran off to find Bearmon as I was heading off to stop a forest fire you four seemed to be heading directly toward. (Sasha notices Coraline’s wound) Your arm! What happened to it?

Coraline: We bumped into the arsonist responsible for the forest fire and he bit my arm.

Bearmon: Digivolving scared me, but seeing Coraline hurt scared me even more, so I rushed to rescue her.

Coraline: Well, you did a good job, Bearmon. Just promise me you’ll help me faster next time.

Bearmon: I promise.

MetalGarurumon: Her arm looks pretty bad, Sasha. Does she need a Healing Pod? (Sasha inspects Coraline’s arm)

Sasha: She’ll most likely need one.

Coraline: What’s a Healing Pod?

Sasha: It’s an invention Stanford keeps in his laboratory. Now, you and Bearmon hop onto MetalGarurumon’s back. Dipper and Kotemon will take the golf kart.

Coraline: Got it. (Coraline and Bearmon get on MetalGarurumon’s back as they were getting ready to leave the forest. Sasha looks toward Bearmon) Razputin told me you’re afraid of digivolving. I can’t help you remove that fear, but I can give you some advice. Running from your problems doesn’t fix anything. You’ll just have to face your fears. You might not be ready now, but someday you will eventually get over it.

Bearmon: Thanks, sir. (In the distance, a group of three digimon are watching Coraline and the others as they left for the Mystery Shack)

Pirate: Hmm. Mission mostly accomplished. Let’s head back to the mansion, Witchmon.

Witchmon: What are saying, Hookmon? Lynxmon never burned down the Mystery Shack, not to mention we never destroyed Lynxmon ourselves.

Hookmon: Indeed, and while we failed to destroy Lynxmon outright, we kept an eye on him to make sure he eventually didn’t cause more trouble than necessary. By and large, I’d say we partially succeeded, don’t you agree?

Witchmon: I suppose, but what about that fur rug Gideon used to create him?

Hookmon: Wizardmon quickly snatched it while they were distracted, my dear. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone better at misdirection and stealth than Wizardmon. (Wizardmon shows Witchmon the lynx-skin rug) Speaking of which, there

Wizardmon: So, what will we do now?

Hookmon: Me thinks we should be heading back to Gideon’s mansion. We have what we need.

Witchmon: Besides, MetalGarurumon is a Mega-level. It would be a fool’s errand to follow and take down the children while MetalGarurumon is with them.

Hookmon: Either way, that Bearmon and Kotemon have my undivided attention. If they fought Lynxmon and won, then let’s see how long they last against me. They would be deleted within seconds.

Wizardmon: We should get going before they come back. You never know what they’ll do to us if we’re discovered. (Wizardmon creates a portal made of data)

Witchmon: Agreed. (Hookmon and Witchmon both enter the portal. Wizardmon stares at Coraline and the others for a few seconds before entering the portal as it closes)

(The scene transitions to the Mystery Shack at night, where Wendy Corduroy and Stanley Pines are just outside)

Stan: Wendy, I’m gonna need your help carrying this in. I’ve spent all day trying to purchase props from The Collector’s Costume, Toy and Prop Emporium, and the bag is too heavy for me to carry myself.

Wendy: Sure thing, Stan. (Wendy grabs one side of the heavy bag full of props and Stan grabs the other. They manage to bring the bag to the door) How much did you buy, anyway? This weighs a ton!

Stan: Enough to make Broadway jealous, now help me open the door while I drag this in. (Wendy opens the door to the house part of the Mystery Shack and, with the exception of Norman and Vi-Elecmon, finds Coraline and all of the others, including the digimon, having dinner and resting after a long day’s work)

Wendy: Woah! Hey, everyone!

Dipper: Hi, Wendy. We have guests over. (Wendy turns to the digimon)

Wendy: Cool, new digimon! How’d you meet them?

Dipper: It’s a long story. (Stan manages to make it inside and immediately notices all of the new faces)

Stan: Woah! Who are you people?!

Milla: Don’t worry, Stanley. We work with your brother, Stanford. I’m Milla Vodello.

Oleander: We’ve been training the kids on how to be Digimon Tamers.

Wendy: Digimon Tamers?

Mabel: Where were you, anyway?

Wendy: All I was doing all day was hanging out with Robbie. Admittedly, our day could’ve been better. (Wendy notices the bandages on Coraline’s arm) What happened to your arm?!

Coraline: I met an evil digimon and he bit my arm.

Wendy: I hope it heals properly, Coraline.

Bearmon: Thankfully, her wound wasn’t as bad as it looked.

Coraline: Tell me about it. Wybie started panicking the instant he saw it.

More to be added.
