Chapter 282 The Village of the Rolling Beasts: Rescue Operation!
As dusk approached, the chosen children, who had traveled all day, became excited when they saw the village in the distance.
However, before arriving at the village, they discovered that two Pagumon were guarding the outside of the village.
Koushiro turned on his computer and checked Pagumon's information. He discovered that Pagumon was a cunning Digimon that liked to bully the weak. After telling his friends this information, the group of children became somewhat wary.
"Hey, Pagumon, what are you doing in Agumon's village?"
Taichi Yagami immediately questioned him.
"The Koromon here found other, better places to live and have long since migrated away from this place. Now this is our Pagumon's village."
The two Pagumon that were sent back to guard the gate exchanged a glance, and the Pagumon on the left began to explain.
"Huh, is that how it is?"
Taichi Yagami was taken aback.
"That's right, that's exactly it."
The Pakumon on the right nodded quickly.
"Taiyi, be careful, it might be a trap."
Agumon reminded him.
"Ah, what we said is true."
The opposing Pakumon immediately retorted, but a few beads of sweat appeared on its forehead.
"How so, everyone?"
Taichi Yagami turned his head and discussed with the others.
"Maybe what they're saying is true."
It's wrong to falsely accuse Pagumon without evidence.
"We need a place to stay tonight."
"But what if they're bad guys?"
.........
The chosen children were whispering and discussing something in front of the village gate, while two Pagumon pricked up their big ears and eavesdropped nearby.
Mimi Tachikawa, feeling a bit uncomfortable with her sticky body, walked over, bent down, and asked the two Pagumon, "Hey, Pagumon, does your village have a place for people to take a bath?"
"Uh, there's a big public bathhouse."
One of the Pagumon answered instinctively.
"Oh, that's great! May I use your public bathhouse?"
The girl asked.
"this……"
Pagumon was somewhat troubled.
"Meimei..."
Palmon tugged at its partner.
"what?"
"It's not appropriate for us to make decisions on our own without consulting the others first."
Baloo asked, and the other children looked over at that moment.
"Do we have any other choice? Are we going to abandon the village right here and camp out in the wilderness?"
The girl put her hands on her hips and asked back.
"However, if Koromon's village suddenly turns into Pagumon's village, we might encounter some danger if we rush in."
Kido said that he was the oldest among them and also the one who worried the most.
"I don't know if it's dangerous or not, but I do know that if I don't take a shower soon, I'll stink, and I'd rather take the risk than stink."
Upon hearing this, Taichi Yagami and the other boys exchanged glances, while Sora glanced at both sides and, before any argument could arise, pulled Biyomon to stand on Mimi's side: "I think as long as we're careful, there shouldn't be any problems."
With Sora's statement, the others also felt that just because the computer said Pagumon was a cunning Digimon, it didn't mean the other party was bad. They all agreed with Sora's words, which was that they should enter the village, but maintain at least a minimum level of caution.
However, although Taichi Yagami and the others made their decision, they forgot one important thing.
"What? We can't enter the village?"
"Sorry, our village does not welcome outsiders."
Two Pakumon, holding sticks crossed, blocked a group of Chosen Children from entering the village.
In the original storyline, the Chosen Children were welcomed because Gokumon had orders to deal with them.
But now, Etemon has long been defeated, and no one wants them to fight the Chosen Children. At the same time, Pagumon and the others are afraid that the secrets of the village will be discovered by outsiders, so naturally they do not welcome Chosen Children who have Rookie Digimon with them.
Seeing this, Taichi Yagami and the others were dumbfounded.
"Pagumon, can't you be a little more lenient?"
This situation dispelled his initial doubts about entering the village, and Yagami Taichi even rubbed his hands together and made a request.
"No means no, no matter how much you beg."
Pagumon shook its head.
"Please, Pagumon..."
Mei Mei crossed her arms and made a pitiful face.
It turns out that a boy's pleading is less effective than a girl's coquettishness.
"This is difficult; Jia Zhishou will definitely not agree."
Pagumon wavered and gave his reason for not letting them in.
"Pagumon, could you please help us persuade Gashimon? If you succeed, I'll repay you."
"Uh, what kind of repayment are you talking about?"
"I will clean your ears and carefully groom your hair with a comb."
"It's only this kind of repayment that we..."
"I will put you on my lap and help you do this."
Pagumon remained silent for a while before one of them spoke up, "Shall I put in a good word for you?"
"Ah, I'll go too."
The two Pakumon hopped and skipped back to the village, while Taichi Yagami and the others were somewhat stunned.
"This works?"
"Why not? This is my way of repaying you, this lovely girl."
The idea of Digimon seducing human girls is quite subtle, but it's true that some Digimon fall for this tactic.
"Gazi Beast, something terrible has happened!"
"You two bastards, didn't I tell you to guard the village gate? Why did you come back? If you don't give me a reason, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson."
Gazumon clenched its fist, looking at the two Pagumon that were hopping over with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, and said.
"Outside, a group of Chosen Children and their Digimon have arrived."
"They want to come into our village to rest."
The two Pagumon answered one sentence at a time.
"What?! The chosen children?!"
Upon hearing that it was a chosen child, Gazhimon jumped up from its chair, but quickly sat back down.
Dark Digimon can benefit from dealing with the Chosen Children, but these benefits are usually claimed by prominent Digimon Kings, who then share a portion with them.
Given that its Digimon King has already been defeated, how could a Rookie Digimon possibly handle the task of dealing with the Chosen Children?
"The Chosen Children and their Digimon are not welcome here. Send them back to where they came from."
Jia Zhi Shou waved his hand.
"That's true, but how can we refuse? They have six Rookie-level Digimon over there."
Pagumon said with some difficulty.
Gazhi Beast: "..."
In Pagumon's village, there are only five Rookie-level Pokémon including Pagumon. With six coming from the other side, it's really hard to refuse them.
"Those chosen children, did they just want to come into the village to rest?"
Add a beast's question.
"And I'd like to use Koromon's bathhouse to take a bath."
"The Pakumon on the left quickly said."
*Smack!*
He took a punch to the head from the beast.
"What do you mean by 'Aromat's Bathhouse'? That's our bathhouse. But since those Chosen Children just want to come in and rest for a bit, let them come in."
But remember to give me orders to ensure the other Pagumon don't give themselves away, and to let the Chosen Children and their Digimon discover the anomaly in this village.
"Yes, I will ensure that your instructions are followed."
The two Pakumon saluted with their big ears and then happily hopped away, looking forward to the reward the cute girl had promised.
Taichi Yagami and the other children were welcomed into the village. Before that, some of the Koromon, who were imprisoned in the village and were usually bullied and played with by Pagumon, were herded back to the waterfall cave behind the village by some Pagumon with sticks.
"You all better behave!"
When a large iron cage inside the cave was opened, some Rolling Beasts tried to rush out, but were kicked back by a Gazhi Beast.
The surrounding Pagumon also used their sticks to beat up the Koromon that tried to rush out. After giving the Koromon a good beating, they closed the cage door again.
Koromon looked at the villain outside the cage with a mixture of fear and anger, but there was nothing it could do.
The Agumon in the village were wiped out, and what remained were only in their juvenile stages. They were no match for the group of Pagumon led by Gashimon.
During his imprisonment, he faced either the humiliation of Pagumon or the domination of Gashimon every day.
They do all the hard and tiring work, and they're not even given enough to eat. Every now and then, one or two of their companions get beaten to death.
Especially recently, Gashimon and Pagumon have become increasingly hostile towards the captured Koromon.
This caused the normally submissive Agaric Beasts to try to escape every time the iron gate opened, even though they knew there was little hope.
Because if you don't run away, you'll eventually die at the hands of Gashimon or Pagumon.
"Can we really escape?"
After Gashimon and Pagumon left the cave, a battered Koromon in the cage asked a question.
Upon hearing this, the other Koromon fell silent. After so many unsuccessful attempts, the answer to whether they could escape was already clear.
Just as the atmosphere among the Agumon was growing increasingly tense, a voice answered the question posed by the Agumon who had just asked the question: "You will definitely be able to escape."
"Who, who is it?"
The Koromon in the cage looked at each other and realized that it wasn't one of their own talking. The Koromon that had asked the question earlier then looked out at the cave outside the cage and asked a question.
"Who I am is not important; what matters is that you can be saved."
The caged ball-shaped beast looked around but couldn't find anyone speaking in the cave.
"Would you be willing to save us?"
It was the same rolling ball beast that asked the question.
"It is not I who will save you, but you who will save yourselves."
"But we can't even escape from this cage."
"I will help you open the cage, but it will be very difficult for you all to escape from here. There are Gashimon and Pagumon guarding the outside, and you will have to defeat them."
"But we're still in our juvenile stage, how can we possibly defeat Pagumon and its pack with Gashimon?"
"The Chosen Children have arrived in your village, and those children have been deceived by Pagumon, who has taken over your village."
Now, if one of you can run over and tell the chosen children what's happening in the village, you should be able to get their help.
Of course, this is a rather dangerous task, and you'll need to select a capable agaric beast to handle it.
"I'll go. I was just sent back from the village, and I know the patrol routes of Pagumon in the village best."
The Koromon who had spoken earlier volunteered, and the other Koromon were quite convinced by him.
Under the camouflage, the Fairymon saw that the Koromon had already chosen their representatives, so it tapped its staff lightly on the iron cage, and the lock on the cage was opened.
"Don't all run around in a panic. Find the Chosen Children and ask them for help. That's the only way you can save your village."
The escaped Koromon returned to its cage after being persuaded by Fairymon, but placed its hopes on the Koromon outside the cage.
"I will offer you some assistance, but whether you can find the chosen children who have already entered your village, and whether you can get their help to save your companions and your village, depends on yourself."
Koromon still couldn't find Fairymon, but it nodded solemnly and said to its people, "Wait for me to come back."
Fairy power enveloped the Koromon, and just as it was about to leap out of the waterfall cave, the guard outside, Gashimon, suddenly walked in. Koromon quickly hid in a corner, cold sweat pouring down its forehead.
However, thanks to Fairymon's fairy power, Gashimon did not detect it.
"Hey, you guys, what were you saying in there just now?"
Gazhimon looked at the group of Koromon watching him nervously in the cage and asked directly.
It came in to check the situation after hearing some sounds coming from inside the cave.
"We were just saying, when will you set us free?"
A rolling ball beast stammered.
"Ha, freedom? You bunch of abominations really dare to dream of it. Let me tell you the truth, you'll never get your so-called freedom in this lifetime. You'll be slaves to us Gazhimon forever!"
"ah!?"
"What, you have a problem with that?"
"No, no, no, it is our honor to be under the command of Lord Gazhimon."
Seeing their companion slipping out, the puffballs in the cage raised their voices and said these words.
Seeing the tentacles of a group of Rolling Beasts sticking out on the ground, the Gazhi Beast assumed they were scared by the beating they had just received and laughed loudly: "If you had known better earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."
"Yes, yes, Lord Kachimono, you're right~"
With the Koromon in the cage providing cover and concealing the sounds of their movements, the Koromon, possessing fairy powers, escaped quite easily.
Outside, some Pagumon didn't even notice it, so Koromon took advantage of the night to jump back into the village.
Meanwhile, Taichi Yagami and the other chosen children had just finished bathing and were being warmly received by a group of Pagumon and Gashimon.
"Lord Taichi Yagami, what a wonderful adventure! I never imagined you would actually defeat the Devimon from Falui Island!"
While Kachimon helped pour the juice, after subtly inquiring about the strength of the Chosen Children, he generously complimented Yagami Taichi and the others on their experiences, appearing to be enjoying himself immensely.
The reason for praising the Chosen Children in this way is that Gashimon here has the idea of using the Chosen Children's Digimon to deal with some Digimon around them that are at odds with their own kind.
Taichi Yagami and the others were completely unaware of this. As Gashimon talked about how Champion-level Digimon from that place often came to cause trouble for their village, Taichi Yagami patted his chest and promised to help their village solve these problems.
"Thank you so much, sirs. Your rooms have been arranged. Would you like to rest now?"
Taichi Yagami and the others were indeed tired and wanted to rest, so they accepted Gashimon's arrangement.
"What an easy bunch of brats to fool."
Once the chosen children were inside their assigned rooms, Gazhimon changed his demeanor.
"Should we steal their Digimon Machine? If we have that thing, we can use it as a pledge of allegiance to the new dark force, Digimon King."
After we defect, we can sell these Chosen Children. Who knows, we might even get a reward and evolve into Champion-level Digimon.
After discovering that the Chosen Children were easily deceived, the other Gazhimon also had other ideas, realizing that the Chosen Children had value to the dark forces.
The Dark Masters have long placed bounties on Digimon belonging to dark forces for the purpose of finding Chosen Children. The rewards vary depending on the threat level of the Chosen Child's Digimon.
Of course, Rookie-level Digimon are too weak to claim the bounty, but they can join the ranks of other Digimon Kings.
"We should wait until we've fully exploited those chosen children before doing anything like that. Before that, we need to consider who we should side with next."
"What do you think about joining forces with Gluttonous King, who defeated Gokumon?"
"Uh, that king won't accept us, will he? I heard from some Digimon that escaped from the dense forest that the Gluttonous King seems to hate evil and loves to eat Digimon that do bad things."
Upon hearing this, all the beasts present shuddered.
"What about the Vampire Beast King? He can't be a king who hates evil like a vengeful beast, can he?"
Just as a group of Gazhimon were discussing and deciding to join Myotismon, Taichi Yagami encountered a badly injured Koromon in the room he was assigned to.
Taichi Yagami was utterly shocked to learn the truth about the village from Koromon.
"Damn it, those Gashimon and Pagumon dared to deceive us?!"
Agumon, somewhat impulsively, wanted to rush out and fight Pagumon and Gashimon in the village.
"etc……"
But Taichi Yagami stopped it.
"Why are you stopping me, Taiichi?"
Agumon was puzzled.
"We need to rescue the hostages first."
In matters like this, the boy named Yagami Taichi was able to think calmly.
"But before that, we need to notify the other people."
Taichi Yagami, along with Koromon and Agumon, sneaked out of the room and began knocking on the doors of their other companions one by one.
This scene was captured by the fairy power attached to Koromon and appeared on the fairy power screen released by Fairymon on the other side.
Meanwhile, a group of Champion-level Digimon from the Forest faction on Broly's side gathered around the light screen, watching the Chosen Child's actions.
"Hmm, not bad, this is a brave and resourceful chosen child."
On the light screen, Taichi Yagami's actions lived up to this assessment.
The other side did not act rashly and knew that the safety of the hostages had to be guaranteed.
Furthermore, in another Chosen Child's room, they captured two Pagumon and subtly questioned them about the village's situation, not completely blindly trusting Agaromon's words.
Although he got slapped several times by the girl when he barged into Meimei's room, these were minor issues.
