And so it begins...

Seven kids at summer camp are sucked into a strange "Digital World", where strange creatures called Digimon greet them.

Synopsis
Taichi "Tai" Kamiya recounts how the world's climate has been going haywire—Asia is in a drought, the Middle East is being hit by flash floods and America is wracked with freezing cold temperatures. Meanwhile, he's in summer camp, having a perfectly normal summer until it begins snowing and a sudden blizzard appears.

Tai and his friends, Sora Takenouchi, Yamato "Matt" Ishida, Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi, Mimi Tachikawa, Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, and Joe Kido, are all amazed when it begins snowing. They then observe lights like in the sky, from which emerges a portal that shoots out strange electronic devices. When they reach out and grab the objects, a huge wave of water erupts from the ground and sucks them into the portal, which sends them to a new world.

Tai is awoken by a strange creature which calls itself, and soon Izzy shows up with his own creature,. The creatures claim to know Tai and Izzy, and to have been waiting a long time for them.

The kids try to figure out where they are, and Tai climbs a tree to take a look through his telescope. He's startled to find that they are near the ocean, and then spots a huge red beetle, which Koromon tells him is Kuwagamon. It attacks Tai and Izzy, but they hide within a "hiding tree", which is partially a hologram. After Kuwagamon passes, Sora tells them to come out, and the group is reunited and introduced to each child's new creature. Sora has. T.K. has whom he instantly hits it off with. Matt has. Joe has whom he is afraid of. The creatures then explain that they are "Digimon: Digital Monsters!".

As the group wonders where Mimi is, they hear her screaming and spot her and her being chased by Kuwagamon. It chases the gang to the edge of a cliff, and the Digimon decide to fight, despite the children wanting to flee. However, as In-Training Digimon, they can only blow bubbles, and are knocked out by the Champion-level Kuwagamon. The children try to stop them from fighting, and just as everything seems lost, the devices glow and the Digimon suddenly digivolve to Rookie level! Koromon becomes (a dinosaur Digimon), Yokomon becomes  (a bird Digimon), Motimon becomes  (a ladybug Digimon), Tsunomon becomes  (a lizard Digimon with a fur pelt), Tokomon becomes  (a guinea pig Digimon), Bukamon becomes  (a seal Digimon) and Tanemon becomes  (a plant Digimon). While the humans are shocked by the transformation, the seven Rookie Digimon begin attacking Kuwagamon, but even their combined attacks are only enough to daze it. It crashes into the cliff, breaking off the chunk the kids and Digimon are on and letting it fall into the river.

- Tai begins the story with these fateful words.

"Oh, by the way, my name's Tai. This is Sora. She's okay... for a girl. And Matt—Matt's too cool. Just look at that haircut. And this little kid is Izzy. He should have gone to computer camp. That's Mimi. I'll bet you can guess her favorite color on the first try! T.K. is Matt's dopey little brother. Oh, and this is Joe. But don't ever scare him; he'd probably wet his pants."
