He is taken to File Island, where he hatches into Poyomon who eventually digivolves into Tokomon. During this time, he plays with the other Digimon as he holds the that belongs to Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, waiting for his partner's arrival. One day, the Digivices suddenly vanish into the sky, heralding the coming of their partners.

Unfortunately, Kuwagamon attacks them once more but Tokomon, alongside the other Digimon, digivolves to his Rookie form to protect his partner and becomes Patamon. Though strong, Kuwagamon is still stronger, and they are thrown off a cliff.

Time moves much quicker, and months have passed in the Digital World though only hours have in the Real World. The entire team has gone their separate ways to pursue their own ideas for finding Tai and Agumon. Tai and Agumon first locate T.K., who has been left alone by the rest of the group, and manages to convince him to reconcile with his partner, Patamon, rather than be manipulated by.

After Myotismon is first defeated due to 's sacrifice, Myotismon instead digivolves to. The DigiDestined believe that the key to defeating VenomMyotismon is to have and  shoot Tai and Matt with arrows of hope and light.

Piedmon proves to be too strong and captures him, Matt, and their partners by turning them into keychains. Angemon digivolve to, saves them, and they manage to defeat Piedmon, only for to appear.

Unfortunately, the solar eclipse marks the rebirth of the Digital World. In the English version, it is thought that the gate would never reopen, stranding the DigiDestined in the Digital World, while the Japanese version has the reasoning that the Digital World might see them as foreign elements as it tries to recover and might delete them. Either way, the DigiDestined must leave their partners. T.K. and Patamon are crying that they have to part way.

At that point, Patamon, along with the other partner Digimon, wave goodbye to their partners as they take a trolley back home.

During this, Infermon infects the Pentagon's missile systems and launches two nuclear missiles, commanding them to strike Colorado and Tai's house in an attempt to kill him. Tentomon and Patamon are knocked out of the battle.

In a May some time after these events, Gennai calls the DigiDestined to the Digital World in order to give up their Crest power to restore a protective barrier to the Digital World. As a result, Patamon loses the ability to digivolve past the Champion level.

Two years later, when the Digimon Emperor begins his conquest of the Digital World. Because the Digimon Emperor's Dark Digivice prevents normal Digivolution, the Digimon are helpless against this new threat. Patamon flees with Biyomon, Tentomon, Agumon, Gatomon, and Tai until they find a cave that has an egg inside with the Crest of Courage. Tai attempts to lift it, but it instead releases three lights which turn into D-3s that allows Davis Motomiya, and eventually Yolei Inoue and Cody Hida, to enter the Digital World. Saved by the newcomers, Patamon, along with the rest of the old guard, lay low. -->

In Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer, Patamon can be recruited if Ryo Akiyama chooses to save T.K.

Other Forms
The name "Patamon" refers to only the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Patamon gains the ability to digivolve into a number of more powerful forms (each with a different name). However, the Rookie form remains as the most common and preferred form, due to the amount of energy required to stay in a higher form.

Poyomon's Digi-Egg
Poyomon's Digi-Egg was held by the Agents alongside T.K.'s Digivice and Tag, the Crest of Hope, and the other Digi-Eggs, Digivices, Tags, and Crests, but when Piedmon attacked their base and stole the tags and crests, Gennai took the Digi-Eggs and Digivices and escaped in a Mekanorimon. He deposited the Digi-Eggs on File Island, where it eventually hatched into Poyomon.

After sacrificing himself to defeat, Angemon was reformatted as a Digi-Egg. T.K. keeps the egg with him, and it hatches into Poyomon soon after the DigiDestined complete their raft for Server Continent.

Tokomon
Tokomon is the In-Training form of Patamon.

T.K. first meets Tokomon immediately upon his arrival into the Digital World, and the two formed a strong bond very quickly. Tokomon later digivolves into Patamon when the DigiDestined children were in danger from Kuwagamon. When Patamon is reconfigured after the battle with, he hatches as Poyomon and digivolves to this form again in the Koromon Village.

While he normally appears to be harmless and cute, it is notable that when in danger Tokomon will open his mouth, which reveals layers of huge shark-like fangs. However, he is never seen using these fangs so it is likely they are just used as a scare tactic.

When Patamon becomes really weak, such as after a DNA Digivolution, he is most likely to revert to this form.

Pegasusmon, the "Flying Hope" (or "the hope that gallops across the skies" (Amakakeru Kibou) in Japan), is the form Patamon becomes when he armor digivolves using the Digi-Egg of Hope.

Unlike the other Armor Digimon, Pegasusmon was still needed after Ken reformed, mainly due to the fact that 's main attack, Hand of Fate, was useless against the Control Spire Digimon the DigiDestined had to face, as well as the fact that it's hard for T.K. to ride on Angemon.

Angemon


Angemon is the Champion form of Patamon. Angemon is a six-winged Angel dressed in white and blue clothing. Like many other humanoid angelic Digimon, such as Angewomon and Kazemon, his eyes are covered by his helmet and are never seen, giving him the appearance of a blind prophet.

Patamon becomes Angemon for the first time during the final fight against. Devimon had already defeated the other six DigiDestined and their partner Digimon, and when he attempted to grab T.K., Patamon jumped in front of T.K. and finally digivolved into his Champion form Angemon. In a final desperate attempt to defeat Devimon, Angemon sacrificed himself, but was soon reborn as a Digi-Egg, eventually hatching to Poyomon soon after.

Angemon reappeared in the Real World during the battle between and, and with their combined strength, the pair manage to drive off the villain, although they are unable to put an end to him.

Angemon is a very powerful Champion Digimon—his primary attack, the Hand of Fate is very effective against Virus Digimon. Even Myotismon (an Ultimate level Digimon) had been unable to dissipate it, (he had been able to dissipate Ultimate-level attacks from the other DigiDestined's Digimon), although the attack itself was an ambush, and Phantomon (another Ultimate Digimon) was completely destroyed by it. Interestingly, the only Digimon Angemon is unable to defeat are those who are of the Mega level; namely the and  although he was able to hold off Piedmon for a few minutes. During the battle with, Angemon and left in the middle of the fight in order to gather the forces.

Angemon and appeared to fight. Later on, they digivolved to and  to release the.

After the Digimon Emperor was defeated and his block against Digivolution lifted, Patamon had the natural ability to once again assume his Champion form. However, his main attack, Hand of Fate, was useless against the majority of Digimon the DigiDestined had to fight, since they where created from Control Spires. This meant they were not real Digimon and Angemon's attack only affected evil Digimon. For that reason, Pegasusmon was still used as his primary fighting form until Angemon and unlocked the power of DNA Digivolution.

When Diaboromon resurfaces on the net, Angemon and Angewomon appeared to help fight. The angels pinned him down as Omnimon impaled Diaboromon before he appeared in the Real World as.

When the summons the heroes of the past to the Fusion universe to help take down, Angemon shows up alongside  and  to assist in the DigiQuartz.

After seeing T.K.'s willingness to never give up, Angemon finally digivolved into MagnaAngemon, and overwhelmed Piedmon. Using the Magna Antidote ability, MagnaAngemon was able to restore all the DigiDestined and their Digimon. MagnaAngemon then helped and  defeat Piedmon. It was MagnaAngemon who finally finished off Piedmon with his Gate of Destiny which WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon knocked him into after it finished off the last of Piedmon's army.

When TK used the crest power to free the Digimon Sovereigns, Patamon lost the power to become MagnaAngemon.

MagnaAngemon makes brief appearances three years later. Angemon uses the power of one of the Destiny Stones to digivolve into MagnaAngemon and fight the nearly invincible. Despite only being an Ultimate, MagnaAngemon is able to fight on equal footing with the Mega BlackWarGreymon, due to his advantage against Evil Digimon. He nearly destroys BlackWarGreymon with his Gate of Destiny, but BlackWarGreymon destroys the Destiny Stone, cutting off MagnaAngemon's power source and causing him to degenerate and his attack to dissipate.

Azulongmon gave one of his DigiCores to the DigiDestined Digimon, restoring their lost ability to digivolve to their ultimate forms.

MagnaAngemon also teams up with and  to fight Mamemon, BigMamemon, MetalMamemon and Giromon where Tai and T.K. send them back to the Digital World.

After the reboot and the reunion of the DigiDestined with their partners, T.K. is just glad that the infection is gone and expresses his hope that his relationship with Tokomon will just work out fine again, rekindling his bond with his Digimon Partner very soon and allowing Patamon to digivolve to his Mega form Seraphymon quickly during the fight against the revived.
