Fiction[]
Digimon Adventure[]
Assisted by Flymon minions, a Tropiamon takes over a lush jungle island where it begins turning the Pomumon inhabitants into fruit for it to eat. After learning of this, Tai, Sora, MetalGreymon and Birdramon attack Tropiamon in order to set the Pomumon free. However, Tropiamon defeats MetalGreymon, throwing him and Tai into its tree and turning them into fruit. While Sora goes to free her friends and the Pomumon, Birdramon digivolves into Garudamon, but even she proves to be no match for Tropiamon who for the most part dodges Garudamon's attacks. Finally, MetalGreymon rejoins the fight after being set free. With Tropiamon still firing its Tropical Venom everywhere, Tai and Sora use their soccer skills to kick a fruit into its mouth followed by the Pomumon filling up Toropiamon's mouth with their Rapid Seed, clogging it. With Tropiamon vulnerable, MetalGreymon flips it into the air and he and Garudamon attack together, destroying Tropiamon. Strike! The Killer Shot
