Digimon Universe: Duo

"That's good enough a woman said as the simulation ended and the fake digimon disappeared.

"Hey! Who stopped this!? It was just getting good! I was finally kicking butt!" Korrin growled.
Lucas looked at his for-now BlackGatomon, and said, "Korrin?"
Korrin looked over and gasped. Then, he changed back after his collapse.

"you both did well to overcome your first barrier "a woman said approaching them." Something about her said she was high ranking

Lucas ran to Korrin, "Is he alright?"

"he will be back to normal soon."

"Wanna explain why he became a virus?" Lucas asked.

"that is the path he is set to follow. He could have been a wide variety of digimon but being a virus digimon isn't bad."

Lucas sighed, "He scared me a little." he said.

" He found his courage be glad for that"

"Yeah, I'm glad." Lucas said and picked up Korrin. "Now what do we do?" he asked.

"Over the next few days try to get your partner to digivolve without the need to be in battle."

"WellW see if he eats enough next time." Lucas said.

"yes that will be a big part of it"

Lucas sighed, "I've watched all this time, and he hasn't been able to keep up until now."

"he has alot of work to do so try to make him find someone who would be great competition."

"What do you mean? He's still my partner. That'll never change."

"yes but he needs....a rival of sorts" she said "it would help him grow"

"Like someone to spar with on occasion?"

"maybe its really up to him"

Lucas nodded, "I'll look into it."

The woman smiled "I also wanted to thank you for putting yourself at risk to help my daughter the other day"

"You mean Cassie is your daughter?"

"Yes, she's a bit of a worry wort but she takes after me mostly"

"She didn't seem to worry about anything last I saw her." Lucas looked down at Korrin.

" She's always worried about braz"
