[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

 
South Digimon Diaries
 
The story of the Digi-Destined from Argentina.
 
By Persona
 
Notes from the author: This story is a fanfic, nowhere in Digimon 01 or 02 have
anyone ever mentioned the chosen from Argentina, still according to Toei, there
IS at least one Chosen in every country of the world, so this story COULD have
happened.
 
Second of all, english is my second language, but I think I'm good enough at it
so you'll understand this. The characters in this story will be talking in
spanish of course, except when stated otherwise.
As far as I know, the only guy in Digimon that spoke spanish had been Ken.
 
Third. The Argentinean version of Digimon 01 and 02 is a loyal translation from
the original Japanese (from what I know, the US version had many things cut out,
kanji erased and stuff like that) so if there is any difference from what you
saw, it was not my intention.
 
One more thing, I'm setting this up in the 'universe' created by Lord Archive
(after asking for his permission) known as War Diaries Adventures 03 and Red
Digivice Diaries, if you whish to read it, you can find it at Fanfiction.net and
Mediaminer.org
Lord Archive has helped me clear up some things regarding his timeline so this
fic would not contradict his.
 
Please keep in mind that Argentina is on the other side of the equator, so when
up there is summer down here is winter and vice versa.
 
Any other things that I think are worth explaining will be so at the end of the
story.
 
Well, with that settled, on with the story.
 
***********************************
 
Chapter one: The new Chosen.
December, 2002.
San Isidro, Buenos Aires.
 
It was a hot summer day, a thirteen-year-old girl was walking trough the streets
of San Isidro, she was dressed in a field hockey uniform that consisted on a
short white skirt that ended a few centimeters above her knees, white socks and
sports shoes, and a short sleeved shirt. The shirt was mostly white, except for
two lines, one light blue and one black, at the sleeves and neck. She was also
carrying a wooden hockey stick. It may seemed small, but it was the perfect size
for a young teenage girl.
 
Julia Martinez was the captain of the SIC's youth female field hockey team, and
today she had a game.
Usually her parents drove her there, but they told her that they were very busy
today and would only be able to make it to see the second half of the game.
 
Julia didn't mind, they always saw her play every game, missing one wasn't a big
deal.
 
As she walked next to a computer shop, she heard something. "Julia."
 
She stopped and looked around to see who had called her, but there wasn't anyone
around. Was she imagining things?
 
"Julia."
 
No, that had been real. The voice had came over from inside the computer shop,
but it was early afternoon and it was closed so nobody was inside. Who had said
that then? She was sure that she heard it from the shop.
 
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Julia asked timidly looking through the window of the
shop. Suddenly, she noticed that one of the computers at the window was turned
on. The screen showed only one word 'Digiportal' (Digiport in spanish)
 
"Digiportal?" said Julia out loud.
 
Suddenly, a strange light came from the right side of her skirt belt. As she
looked down, she saw that strange broken video game that she had found so many
years ago was emitting that strange light.
 
Julia had found the strange looking video game, which didn't seem to work no
matter what she did, about three years ago while she was in a hospital from
breaking her arm in an accident. After she found it, she decided to keep it, but
she couldn't explain why if you asked her.
 
As the little electronic device stopped shining, she noticed with surprise that
it had changed shape, and was now a little bigger and more rounder. It was still
the same color tough: light blue.
 
As Julia held the device, it started up for the first time in years, and it
seemed to react with the computer monitor of the store.
 
Then everything started to get blurry. If she could have focused she would have
noticed that she was being hurled into the computer.
 
That was the last thing Julia noticed before falling unconscious.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
"Hello. Hello? Are you okay Julia?"
 
How much time had passed? Minutes? Hours? Days? Julia didn't know.
 
As she was woken up by that strange girlish voice, Julia lazily opened her eyes.
 
"Good, you woke up." In front of her was this strange looking pink bird thing,
that didn't look ANYTHING like any bird she had ever seen.
 
"Aaah!" Julia sat up so fast that it almost made her head dizzy, she crawled
away on her hands and legs until she was backed up against what looked like a
computer monitor.
 
"Don't scream like that, you're a Digi-Destined and I'm your Digimon partner.
I'm Piyomon."
 
Digimon partner? What was going on here? Why did that word sounded so familiar?
 
Her eyes went wide as she remembered something she saw on TV a few years ago.
"Is this the... Digimon world?" asked Julia, calming down a little.
 
Piyomon nodded. "Actually that's Digital World, how did you know about this
world?"
 
"The international news channel on cable TV. A few years ago I heard something
happening in Japan about Digimon." Then what Piyomon said earlier sunk in. "I'm
what?"
 
"A Digi-Destined, see that small electronic device that you're holding?" replied
Piyomon.
 
Julia blinked as she remembered the strange video game that had changed shape
just before she woke up in this strange place. She was still holding it tightly
in her hand.
 
"What... what does this thing have to do with anything?" asked Julia.
 
"That's a D-3, you having it and also being here demonstrates that you are a
Digi-Destined." Replied Piyomon.
 
"How... how did I get here...? How do I get back home...?" asked Julia.
 
"You came here because you are needed here. Why, I don't really know, maybe the
old Chosen from Argentina died and you are his or her replacement, who knows.
Whatever it is, you are here now."
 
"But I don't WANT to be here... I have a game in a couple of hours... I have to
get home." said Julia, she could feel tears forming at her eyes, it was too much
to handle. She was in some strange world, away from home and everyone she knew.
 
Suddenly, before Piyomon could say any sort of reply, a horrible buzzing roar
sounded trough the sky like a thunder.
 
Looking up, Julia saw a giant red horrible bug thing flying towards her, and she
somehow noticed that it was hungry. It wanted to eat her!
 
"It's a Kuwagamon, and it looks hungry! Take cover!" screamed Piyomon.
 
"Yipe!" Julia was a field hockey player, she had strong legs for her age, so she
managed to jump away in time, all Kuwagamon was able to grab was a handful of
dirt, and the computer monitor where Julia had entered the Digimon world.
 
When it noticed it, the Kuwagamon threw it away. The monitor fell down and
crashed into pieces, becoming useless.
 
"Don'ty worry Julia, I'll protect you!" said Piyomon, opening her wings, she
flew upwards towards the Kuwagamon who was making a U-turn towards Julia again.
 
Not afraid that the bug Digimon was a lot bigger than she was, Piyomon let out
her attack. "Magic Fire!"
 
A spiral of green flames went towards the Kuwagamon, but he just swapped its arm
and dissipated it. Then it crashed against Piyomon, who fell down to the ground
with a thud.
 
"Huuu... its too strong for me..."
 
"Piyomon!" Julia looked at her Digimon on the ground, dirty and bruised, and
tried to run towards her. It was incredible, she had only met the bird Digimon,
but she felt as if she had known it from all her life.
 
She tried to get close, but had to crouch to dodge the Kuwagamon one more time.
 
She knew that she couldn't do this forever, sooner or later the red bug thing
was going to get her and it wasn't going to be nice.
 
"Fire Punch!"
 
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a ball made of hot flames went flying straight to the
Kuwagamon. The red bug ignited into flames, as it screamed in pain.
As if that wasn't enough, Julia saw more and more fireball things going straight
at the burning Kuwagamon.
 
"Fire Punch! Fire Punch! Fire Punch! FIRE PUNCH!"
 
After a few seconds of this constant and sadistic bombardng, the Kuwagamon was
gone as it disappeared into data.
 
"What... what happened?" Julia looked where the Kuwagamon had been just a few
moments ago, then turned her head to where that fireball thing had come from.
 
Julia was greeted with a scene worthy of one of those Japanese cartoon things
that the kids at her school liked so much. Anime, she corrected herself.
 
Two figures were standing on a hill with the sun right behind them, making it
difficult to see them.
 
Julia tried to focus her eyes a little and she finally was able to see them. One
of them was a boy, he seemed a little bit older than her, he was wearing a gray
shirt, black jeans and black tennis shoes. His hair was the same color as
Julia's, brown. But Julia's hair was a little bit brighter that the boy's, which
was dark brown. On the boy's belt was one of those electronic device D-3 things,
but while Julia's was light blue, the boy had a black one.
 
Next to him was what seemed like a tall muscular man made out of fire. Like that
guy from the Fantastic Four comic book, but more mean looking.
 
Another Digi-Destined and his Didgimon, realized Julia. But then, that meant
that Piyomon's theory that she had come to replace the current Digi-Destined
from Argentina had been wrong.
 
It was then that Julia saw the boy's face, really saw it for the first time.
He showed no emotion whatsoever, nothing at all, almost as if he wasn't alive.
His Digimon looked the same. It scared her.
 
"You should check the Piyomon." said the boy, pointing at the fallen pink bird.
 
Julia remembered her Digimon and ran towards Piyomon, taking her in her arms.
She was alive, just a little bruised. A little rest and the Digimon was going to
be good as new.
 
Meanwhile the boy walked towards her, his Digimon following him.
"Meramon, you can de-evolve now." he said flatly.
 
His Meramon nodded and started to shrink while emitting a dark purple light.
Soon, a walking candlestick stood in its place, a Candmon.
 
"Who... who are you?" Asked Julia. Now knowing what to make of this guy.
 
"My name is David. David... Albornoz." he said his last name like if he hadn't
spoken it in a long time. "But nobody here calls me by my full name anymore."
 
Julia blinked a few times in confusion. "Are... are you a..." it took her a
second to remember the term Piyomon had used, "a Digi-Destined?"
 
"I'm afraid so." David answered flatly. Since the whole conversation, he hadn't
done any sort of expression, nor had he talked more than it was needed. Then she
blinked, what did he mean with 'I'm afraid so'?
 
"How did you get here?" asked David.
 
Julia pointed at the broken monitor that the Kuwagamon had trashed when trying
to get her and Piyomon. "Through there, that's what Piyomon said."
 
David looked at the broken monitor, then at Julia. "You won't be able to go back
that way." he said.
 
"Does... does that mean that I'm stuck here forever?" asked Julia, her eyes
getting wet with tears.
 
"No. There is another monitor that you can use to go back, follow me." David
responded, and turned around walking away. The Candmon following him without
making any sort of noise.
 
Julia attached her D-3 on her skirt again, then picked Piyomon in her arms and
jogged to catch up with him. "Hey, wait up!"
 
To be continued...
 
==========================
 
Author's notes: SIC (San Isidro Club) is a sport club from Argentina, its mains
activities are Rugby, for the boys, and field Hockey for the girls. Its not MY
favourite Rugby team (in case you're wondering, my favourite team is La Plata
Rugby Club), but its one of the two main clubs in San Isidro, the town where
Julia is from. The other main club there is CASI (Club Atletico San Isidro).
 
This was just an introductory chapter, I'm planning on making the next ones
longer.
 
Persona
 
=========================
 
And now for a little extra... PERSONA'S FUN FACTS ABOUT ARGENTINA!
 
Did you know that some very important inventions were created in Argentina or by
an Argentinean?
 
The most important inventions would be: the pen, the bus, the white cane for
blind people, the bypass, safe blood transfusion, and the discovery that
fingerprints are unique in every person and could be used to identify them.
