Fiction
When Leon was younger, he lived in Japan and was childhood friends with Eiji Nagasumi.

One day, when out at a with his family and Eiji's family, Leon saw Eiji fall off a cliff and into a river. Eiji nearly drowned, though survived.

At some point, Leon had visited Abadin Electronics with his father. Whilst there, Tomonori Ryusenji had shown Leon a video of the, followed up by him giving him Digimon Dock with a on it figuring he could raise the Digimon well. Leon had lots of fun raising the Digimon, and upon digivolving it up to the Rookie level showed it off to his best friend – Eiji. The two bonded over how cool was, though their friendship eventually drifted apart as exams kept them busy which was followed up by them going to different schools. This got even worse when Leon moved back to the United States.

Leon spent his youth desiring to study Digimon and upon becoming old enough applied to join Tokyo University of Electrical and Computer Engineering since it would allow him to return to Tomonori, who worked there. During this time, he had also given updates on Pulsemon, with Tomonori telling him how to upgrade his Digimon Dock as thanks. As he learned more and more about Digimon, he learned about the rampant amount of Digimon related crime and was able to fight against them with Pulsemon. He was able to learn about a battle that was going to take place between some cyber terrorists and the American police but was unable to do anything as Machinedramon easily defeated Pulsemon and took out a plane killing over three hundred people of varying nationalities. He remembers feeling disgraced at losing so easily, and how he had taken on mission after mission to increase his strength so that he could one day get revenge. He trained not only Pulsemon, but himself, becoming not only the smartest person in his school but a master martial artist as well. Desiring only to stop Digimon related crimes, he turned down multiple opportunities wanting only to work under Tomonori – which he had managed to achieve upon returning to Japan. He had even turned down woman after woman, with women throwing themselves at him due to his smarts and strength but was focused only on stopping crime and had no time for dating. He had become so smart, he even advised the United States government, police, and military. Now able to access to the Digital World as a worker of Tomonori, Pulsemon became stronger and stronger with the duo becoming famous. He was able to attend the University as part of a study abroad program and whilst living in Japan, rented a room belonging to Tomonori. Alongside his studying, Leon worked as Tomonori's personal assistant so would do things such as booking flights and hotel rooms for him and would accompany him abroad to various meetings and academic conferences.

At some point, just as the DigiPolice had cornered the 's in the The Last Coast and defeated one of them, a Mindlinked Pulsemon suddenly appears on the scene and defeats the other three. It picks up the Digi-Egg they had stolen, mocks Satsuki Tamahime for being soft, then runs away too fast for anyone to do anything about it. Satsuki, upset that the evidence had been stolen, yells out for Pulsemon and Leon to give her the evidence back.

One day, after Leon finishes having a shower, Pulsemon — who was Hololized in his room — tells him that the Sons of Chaos were up to something. It tells him that they were expanding their numbers, and a code cracker (Eiji) had fought the DigiPolice in the Wall Slums. Leon didn't find this to be unusual, since the two groups fought all the time, though becomes more interested upon learning the battle had taken place in Ninth Avenue. He asks Pulsemon what relation the cracker had with the SoC with Pulsemon excitedly telling him the SoC channel was ablaze with rumours about the mysterious cracker.

In the middle of the night, Leon wakes up screaming having had the same nightmare about the accident once again. Hololized Pulsemon rushes to its partners side and asks if he's okay though Leon insists he's fine. Pulsemon tells Leon to go back to sleep since he has an early class the next day though Leon rejects the idea and instead decides to get up and start his day. He complains about the teacher, leading Pulsemon to wonder if he even needs to bother graduating since he works for Abadin Electronics already though Leon insists he has to as he promised his father he'd graduate and that being a college student with too much free time lets him do "other things" anyway. As Pulsemon jokes about that being "ethical hacking", Leon goes to the bathroom to have a shower.

Leon somehow learns about the Sons of Chaos's plan to hack in the X Nation's server and get revenge against them for framing them for crimes they had committed with Machinedramon, with him possibly having learned from Ryusenji who had learned about it from Eiji. When the Mindlinked Eiji and Marvin Jackson break in, they find Machinedramon held in place by a bunch of tools with Marvin sending his to attack it. He has Airdramon digivolve to and attack Machinedramon, trying to free it as their goal was to capture it and make it their minion. Leon, who had been lying in wait, has come out and easily defeat Megadramon.

Eiji and Loogamon looked on in shock – unaware of who had even defeated it. They panic, looking over Megadramon, worried for Marvin since if it takes enough damage it could kill not only Megadramon, but Marvin as well. The other SoC members arrive, and ask Eiji why they hadn't captured Machinedramon yet. They see Marvin's Megadramon knocked out and wonder who had done it, since they had acted as a decoy to keep most of X Nations defences busy. They shoot down Eiji's suggestion that maybe the DigiPolice had caught onto their plan, since the Japanese police hacking another countries server would cause a massive international incident. Kazuchimon proceeds to defeat every member of the SoC, including, with the SoC members realizing who it was as only Leon Alexander was known to own a Kazuchimon. Unable to do anything, they watch as Kazuchimon kills the still trapped Machinedramon. Leon tells it to return to being a Digi-Egg and hopes that upon its revival it would be taken in by a nice person, rather than an evil hacker. He tells the SoC that he had decided to help their operation to stop X Nation doing crimes but couldn't allow them the pleasure of doing it themselves as he hated all hackers. Loogamon tells Eiji they need to flee as the mission was a failure, with Eiji refusing to leave Megadramon/Marvin behind. Loogamoon protests as they weren't friends with Marvin, but Eiji refuses to budge as he thought Marvin was as nice guy and he actually had become friends with him. He tells the other members to get Megadramon to safety, and as they do so he will distract Kazuchimon. The other members doubt he could defeat a Mega but Eiji simply tells them to do as he says.

As they try to do so, Leon demands to know where Tartarus was and tells the SoC he will ruin their reputation as he had heard none of their missions had ever resulted in one of their members dying. Feeling cocky, Leon has Kazuchimon de-digivlve to figuring that as he had already taken out Megdramon and Machinedramon he no longer needed to waste some of his Mindlink time at Mega as he would still be able to kill the other seven with his partner at the Ultimate level. Loogamon points out that as Leon was mindlinking he was on a time limit as well, and figures they could save everyone by stalling long enough. Loogamon digivolves to and attacks Boutmon, with the force of its attack enough to stop it before it could reach Megadramon. Leon is surprised at just how strong Loogarmon was, with Eiji mocking Leon, telling him that he had actually de-digivolved as he was almost out of time. Megadramon wakes up, with Marvin telling everyone to flee as well as telling Leon he had committed a grave mistake in making an enemy of the SoC. Boutmon de-digivolves to Pulsemon and as Eiji looks at it, he recognizes it and wonders why. He then remembers, his childhood best friend Leon had shown him his partner Digimon a long time ago with it being the same exact Digimon. Realizing that meant he was fighting Leon, he Hololizes – which also causes Leon to hololize as well. Not only was Eiji surprised to see Leon, Leon was surprised to see Eiji. Their reunion is cut short however as more X Nation hackers arrive, causing everyone to flee before they could be taken out by the reinforcements.

Eiji and Leon reconnect online, and set up a meeting to reunite and set up a meeting at Abadin Electronics.

Sometime later, having severed their Mindlink, Pulsemon and Leon wake up in the real world. Leon takes off Abadin Electronics mindlink endurance test apparatus, with the duo congratulating each other on their success at breaking the Mindlink world record. Tomonori arrives and congratulates the duo on having gotten revenge for the entire country of the United States of America, since the X Nation's Machinedramon had been responsible for WWW Flight 626's crash, which resulted in the deaths of over 100 Americans. Leon was pleased with this, since he wanted to get personal revenge against them for said terrorist attack against his home country. Happy at finally having been able to get his revenge, he reminisces about everything he had been through since meeting Tomori more than a decade earlier. He then tells Tomonori he has to leave, as he had a meeting with Eiji to attend.

Leon finds Eiji watching TV in a different part of the building and walks up to him. They go to a the café within DDL to catch up. Leon shows off Pulsemon to him once again, having done so when they were kids, with Eiji showing off Loogamon as well... though the air between the two Digimon was tight and awkward since they had been fighting only days before. They express shock upon learning they both work with Tomonori with Leon annoyed at the fact he'd hired Eiji to do things for him instead of having Leon do them since he was his assistant. Pulsemon pokes fun at Loogamon for only being able to get to the Champion level, something Loogamon isn't amused by, with the duo arguing over and over till their tamers put an end to it. As Leon tells Eiji he was the only person other than his dad that ever understood him, Hatsune and her friend, who had recently been hired to work for DDL, interrupt their conversation with Hatsune's friend fangirling over how cute the Digimon were. Hatsune was surprised to learn Leon and Eiji were friends, which was followed up by her friend fangirling over how hot she thought Leon was. Hatsune tells her friend not to harass employees of their boss, after which a big TV in the room plays the recent announcement from the leader of X Nation, in which he states he will get revenge against the hackers, with the four of them watching it. After breaking Eiji's heart by saying that hackers are lame dangerous depressed weirdos, Hatsune's friend is taken away from Eiji and Leon by Hatsune so that she would stop interrupting the boy's reunion. The surprise of the boys, their Digimon argue over which of the two girls was cuter. Eiji and Leon continue their conversation, which moves to how they should be treating their partners as actual lifeforms rather than AI. Eiji tells Leon how he had recently changed his perspective and began doing just that thanks to Tomonori, with the mood changing completely when Leon tells Eiji he should quit not just the Sons of Chaos but hacking as well. This angers Eiji, since he had to do work as a hacker to make money — unlike Leon who attended a prestigious university and had a well paying job as Tomonori's assistant. This outburst surprises Leon, since the Eiji he remembered had good grades and asks how he ended up down this path as a hacker instead of something more reputable. Eiji brings up WWW Airlines flight 626, which instantly upsets Leon due to his personal history with it. As Leon refuses to talk, Pulsemon interjects and talks about the event instead with Leon learning Eiji's parents were two of the 300 killed by Machinedramon that day. Leon was shook, since he considered it his fault it had happened, feeling even worse now he had learned his childhood best friend's parents were on board and he had been unable to save them. Now knowing Eiji's personal history, he becomes confused as to why Eiji would work as a hacker with Digimon when one was responsible for his parents deaths. Eiji states he doesn't blame the Digimon but instead blames the hackers and though he isn't proud of being a hacker it was the only way he could make a living. Working with Tomonori had finally had him feeling proud of himself, something he figured Leon would understand as he worked with him too. Leon asks what Tomonori has Eiji doing other than raising Loogamon, though Eiji tells him he isn't allowed to tell him and leaves saying he has an appointment with Tomonori to attend. Pulsemon gives Loogamon a bunch of files before he leaves, with Eiji saying they should do this again sometime but without all the complicated stuff.
