Chapter #16 of Digimon Dreamers
Characters[edit]
Summary[edit]
Pulsemon introduced himself to Devimon, though the latter misunderstood his nickname, Pal. Nonetheless, Devimon was confident he could defeat Pulsemon, but he then realized Wizarmon was with him, as did Leomon and Ghostmon, the latter of which went to him, with Wizarmon asking them if they were alright. Devimon then tried to run away to warn Phelesmon, but Pulsemon, with his head evolved, rode him, and demanded Devimon to take him to Phelesmon. Devimon then pushed him off, and Pulsemon ended up impaled on the ground head-first, to Kodou Ritsu's fear, though Leomon praised his guts. Leomon then told Wizarmon that he was glad he was back and so would be everyone else.
At Leomon and co.'s secret hideout, Mojyamon, Numemon and Tailmon welcomed Wizarmon back. Tailmon asked him if his injuries had healed which he confirmed and added that he was glad they were alright. Mojyamon and Numemon explained that, while Wizarmon was gone, they gave magical lessons and collected information on how to defeat Phelesmon. Pulsemon proclaimed he'd defeat Phelesmon, causing Leomon to ask Wizarmon what was up with him. Wizarmon introduced them to Ritsu and Pal, who helped him get back to Witchelny from the alternate Digital World. Pulsemon once again proclaimed he'd defeat Phelesmon, but Mojyamon doubted that since he looked weak. Pulsemon pointed out he was stronger than he looked and he had his Tamer, Ritsu, with him, though when Numemon asked him what Ritsu did, Pulsemon could only answer that he felt a lot better with him around, causing Ritsu to think he was a good luck charm. Ghostmon asked to let them go with them to fight Phelesmon too, since they could help even if they didn't have a Tamer like Pal did. However, Pal refused because he looked weak and would be just a burden. Ghostmon answered they didn't want to hear that from him, which made Pal challenge them to a fight, which Ghostmon accepted. Mojyamon tried to stop them, but that only angered the both of them. Numemon saw this as a chance to test Pal.
The fight started outside the hideout. Ghostmon charged at Pulsemon, but they were easily stopped by Pulsemon's evolved arm, which shocked Mojyamon, Numemon and Leomon. Pulsemon then evolved his head and bit and licked Ghostmon, winning the fight. Ghostmon cried and Pulsemon mocked him. Ghostmon whined about how Pal didn't understand how hard their life was since magic was outlawed, how they thought they would learn magic and evolve into a stronger Digimon that could help everyone but now no one could learn magic at all, that Phelesmon had stolen their futures and they'd never get stronger. Ritsu explained to Ghostmon how Pal understood their pain since he, and the rest of the Digimon of Asunaro Village, had a curse on them that prevented them from evolving, and thus also had their futures, their potentials, stolen from them, and while he did the best he could given the circumstances, he could only take a half-baked form. Pulsemon got angry at being called half-baked. Ritsu continued, saying that that was why they didn't want Ghostmon to run recklessly into battle and wanted them to treasure their future. Pulsemon bashfully denied it and said he only wanted to defeat Phelesmon, but Ghostmon should still wait and entrust their future and potential to him, because he'd get both of their futures and potentials back. Ghostmon cried at this, which also made the Witchenly five happy. Pulsemon then told Ritsu to get going, though Ritsu just wanted to stay with Ghostmon instead. This, once again, only got him tied up and dragged away by Pulsemon, who rode on Leomon, as they, alongside Wizarmon, Tailmon, Mojyamon, and Numemon, left the hideout, with Ghostmon waving them goodbye.
