What has happened before: Nerima is saved by the last minute arrival of
Lillymon, Ranma, Richie, and James.  Mimi rejoins the original
Digidestined.  Genma hands the forbidden techniques to Ranma, upon
hearing of Happosai's involvement.  Ash loses the match against Richie,
as in the anime.  The Evil Digimon meanwhile has captured Ken Ichijoji,
the former Digimon Emperor.  They reveal their use of the Dark Digivice,
as to regain their Mega forms.

Episode 14: The Crest of Light

"James."

James looked to the side to see Misty climbing up onto the roof where he
sat, looking out onto the night sky of Indigo Plateau. "Misty."

"Supper's ready," she said, boosting herself up over the roof top. James
made no responce as she sat down beside him. "Thinking about Jessie?"

"Mmm...." James nodded slowly. He looked down at the object in his
hands. It was his Team Rocket Shirt with the large red R on the front.
"This was our livelyhood Misty. This shirt and everything else with it."

"But you were criminals," Misty pointed out.

James barked out a short laugh. "Criminals? Oh no, we just bumbled up
every single time. The Boss had less liking and much less respect for us
than before. But yeah, I was thinking about Jessie."

"How so?"

James sighed. "It goes back really far. We flunked out of Pokemon Tech
together, then we joined a Bike Gang, then we got recruited into Team
Rocket together. But now, we're on opposite sides of the battle between
good and evil. I just don't know how I'm going to get her back."

"Don't give up," Misty said, patting him on the shoulder. "we'll get
Jessie back. And then we'll kick those Evil Digimon back into the sewers
where they crawled out of!"

"Yeah. Thanks Misty." Misty smiled at him and leapt down the roofside.
James stood, looked at the shirt in his hand and leapt down after her.

<><><>

"Ash, there's a festival for the last day of the Pokemon League. Wanna
go and attend it?"

"A festival?" Ash looked up from his breakfast and shrugged. "Why not?"

"We'll need hakamas and kimonos," Tai pointed out.

"Maybe Ranma could use a kimono," Misty teased as the teen flushed.

"Give it a rest," Ranma grumped.

"I think it'll be fun," Tracy said. "I'm game."

"Why not, let's do it!"

<><><>

"Wow, it's really crowded," Brock said. "Keep close and watch your
wallets."

The group of people, consisting of Ash, Misty, Tracy, Brock, James,
Ranma, Richie, Tai, Sora, Kari, Agumon, Biyomon and Gatomon. They were
dressed in long robes and kimonos as the festival rocked around the
place.

"Step right up, step right up and win a prize! Catch the goldfish!"
Crowed one vendor.

"Oh, I've got to get me a goldfish!" Misty walked up and handed him a
few coins.

"Here you go missy," the vendor said. "Catch all the goldfish and win a
great prize!" One of the prizes was a gigantic Gyrados which hung over
the booth, it's mouth wide open.

Misty bent over and slowly maneuvered her thin paper scoop and
moved...the goldfish breaking through. "Aw no!"

"Let me handle this Misty," Ranma said, grinning. "This is something I
do best." With the speed of the Amaguriken, she scooped up all the fish
into her bowl within seconds. The vendor's jaw dropped in complete
shock.

"That's really something Ranma!" Tracy exclaimed. "How'd you do it?"

"It's a speed technique taught to me by a three hundred year old Chinese
Amazon," Ranma replied. "Sir, I'd like that large Gyrados."

The man, still in shock, nodded and gave Misty the huge Gyarados which
Misty gave to Ranma. "Here, you carry it."

"Me?" Ranma asked, perplexed.

"Don't you know that girls have boys carrying their parcels during a
fair?" It was true. Ash, Brock, Tracy and Richie were all carrying
prizes won by Misty or Ranma who turned out to be expert gamers. James
had gone off with Tai, Sora, Kari, Agumon, Biyomon and Gatomon in
another direction, wisely avoided prize carrying by leaving.

Ranma stumbled back and forth for a brief second before suddenly,
toppling downwards, colliding with a body that yelped in shock. The pair
went toppling down as the Gyrados fell over atop them.

Ranma struggled for a second before a pair of violet eyes came into
view, framed by violet hair and a yellow bow. She was dressed in a red
and purple kimono that was stitched with flowers and a bellsprout.
"I-I-I'm sorry," he said, getting up.

"I'm alright. Thank you for your concern."

"Are you alright Ranma?" Ash asked. Then, he noticed the girl and
blinked. "Hey, aren't you Jenette Fisher?"

"That's right. You're Ash, from Pallet? You look...older."

Misty noticed the way Ranma was blushing and pulled him aside. "Excuse
us for a second.

Ash shrugged before saying, "So, about that Bellsprout of yours...."

<><><>

"I saw the way you looked at her Saotome," Misty teased.  "You have the
hots for that girl whom you don't even know!"

"I do not!" Ranma was as red as Misty's hair. "I've...I've..."

"You DO like her!"

Ranma sat down heavily on a bale of hay, burying his hands in his face.
"You're...you're right. I do like her."

"So, it's something like love at first sight? What about Akane? Do you
still care about her?"

Sighing, the teen looked up into the skies. Fireworks were  still going
off up in the skies in shades of red and blue. "Akane....she was the
first one to be nice to me. She wanted to be friends...but that's all
she is to me. I sacrificed everything for her to keep our friendship
intact. But it's always hard staying friends with our fathers
continually hounding us about the Engagement. It's like my life is one
big videogame and they're pushing the buttons."

"And Jenette?"

"I...I think I'm in love with her. Love at first sight. Something that I
thought was impossible until I experinced it just now." Ranma looked up.
"You don't think I'm an idiot, do you?"

"I don't know. I think the Digipowers are affecting us in more ways than
one. It's changing us."

"You mean, changing me into something I'm not?" Ranma asked.

Misty blinked. "No, actually, I think it's allowing us to finally grow
up. A chance to become something we were never allowed to become. Go and
talk to her. Go on."

"Thanks Misty."

<><><>

"Jenette, care to walk?" Ranma offered his hand to her.

Jenette looked at the offered hand and nodded slowly. "Sure."

As she took his hand, an electric current snapped through her sences.
His hand was warm and rough, a fighters hand. Her own was smooth like
silk, and he interlaced his fingers within her own unconciously.

"So...you're a martial artist?" Jenette asked Ranma.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, Saotome Musabetsu Kaikotu Ryu. I'm probably the best in
that school. We specialize in Midair combat."

"My mother teaches all forms. She'd probably like to see you in action
one of these days."

Suddenly, a tub of water rained down on Ranma's head as a man shouted,
"Sorry!"

Jenette looked at Ranma and gasped. She was holding onto the hand of a
red haired buxom girl. "Wha...what happened?  Ranma? Is...is that..."

"Hai." Ranma hung her head. "It's a curse."

"Are you a guy or girl?"

"I'm a guy!" Ranma replied with some force behind it. "Believe me I'm a
guy!"

"That must be awful for you. Why don't you go and cure yourself?"

Ranma's head drooped a bit more. "I...I don't know if there even IS a
cure. I always thought that the Spring of Drowned Man would cure me
but...I don't have the money to return to Jusenkyo."

"Jusenkyo. The Cursed Springs. Pools of Sorrow." Jenette cupped the
shorter girls face and smiled. "For what it's worth, I don't think
you're a freak. I think you're cute." Then, she kissed her.

Ranma's eyes opened in shock as she responded to the kiss. It was
electric, the pair framed by the exploding fireworks. Then, she
responded with vigor. After they parted amidst stares, Ranma asked
quietly, "Why'd you do it?"

"Fate," was Jenette's cryptic answer. "Fate brought us together.
Fate...cannot tear us apart." Then, they kissed once more.

In responce, Ranma's heart started to shine with the Crest of
Reliability. Then, Jenette's heart started to shine as well with a
strange new Crest.

Farther down, Ash stopped as he looked at his chest that was emitting a
warm glow. "My heart!" His heart was glowing with the Crest of Courage.
Misty looked down and found her own heart glowing with the Crest of
Love.

James found his own glowing with the Crest of Hope.

Brock, Tracy and Richie found their own Crests, Friendship, Knowledge
and Sincerity glowing brightly, standing proudly on their hearts.

Ranma and Jenette parted and their Crests dimmed into their hearts.

"That....that was...." Ranma looked up into her own eyes and said
quietly, "Maybe I should change back."

"For what it's worth, I think you're best as you are right now."

Elsewhere, Kari looked up as she smiled a bit. "The Circle is now
complete."

"What do you mean Kari?" Sora asked.

"She means that someone has found the Eighth Digidestined," Gatomon
supplied helpfully. "We'd better get going before the Dark Ones make
their move."

<><><>

"That light....any thoughts Myotismon."

Myotismon frowned beneath his mask, eyes narrowing to slits. "Yes. The
Eighth Child has been found. And with her, a new power level to combat
us."

Piedmon looked at his companion questioningly. "How do you know it is a
female?"

"I KNOW. It was a female before and the Light before us can only be
generated by pure Light and Love." Myotismon turned from his position at
the window and tossed his cape backwards, it rippling in an nonexistant
wind. "We must act now. Before they get to full strength."

"Agreed. Sound the Alert. We will strike at the end of the day."

<><><>

"The parade is a tradition of all the thirty most high ranking Pokemon
Trainers," Bruno informed them. "Because of Ash's... unique status, he
will have an honor guard. And no, I didn't arrange it myself, Charles
Goodshow asked for this."

"Wow, an honor guard," Brock said.

"Won't that draw too much attention to Ash?" Misty asked of the massive
Master.

"It shouldn't. Charles Goodshow has requested that you Digitize and act
as his honor guard. To show the people that you represent a higher
power."

"I guess so." Quickly, the group Digitized into their armor. Ranma
turned to Jenette and asked, "Are you okay, staying here in the stands?"

"Go on," she said, smiling. "Six guards with Ash at the end measures
out."

Ranma nodded and formed up.

"Get ready, we're going in."

<><><>

"This is some event," Joe commented. "Wonder when Ash will come out?"

"He should be coming out real soon," Tai said.

"The door's opening!" Mimi cried, pointing to a large pair of double
doors at the other end of the stadium. A loud fanfare was heard as the
honor guard walked into the room, Ash and Pikachu at the head. Bruno,
Agatha, Lance and Lorelei were at the back, flanking the rest of the
honor guard.

"Wow, they're really giving him the royal treatment," Kari noted.

Matt looked at Izzy who was busy studying his Digivice. "You okay Izzy?"

"I'm fine...but I can't help but wonder if something is going to happen
this time."

Ash stepped up to the podium where Charles Goodshow smiled and nodded to
him. "I have heard a lot about you Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. It is my
pride and esteemed honor to offer you this Golden Award for outstanding
service to the Pokemon Community."

He held out a medallion that was shaped like a Dragonite. Suddenly,
without warning, a Sword flew out of nowhere and knocked it to the
ground. Then, a laughter so maniacal was heard that people cowered at
the sound of it. People tried to exit the area but were blocked off by a
forceshield that surrounded the stadium.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of All Ages! The Greatest Show of All
Time Is About to Begin!" A column rose from the ground, revealing a
clowinish figure, four swords strapped to his back. "Let me introduce
the major players in this performance! Metalseadramon!"

Without hesitation, the Digimon erupted from the earth.

"Machinedramon!" Machinedramon came stomping into the stadium from a
side door.

"Puppetmon!" The Puppet Digimon appeared out of nowhere, hanging upside
down.

"Myostimon!" The Vampire Digimon appeared in a flurry of bats.

"Devimon!" Devimon slowly rose from the ground, a smirk on his face.

"Etemon!" Etemon came out, dressed in a costume similiar to what Elvis
wore.

"And myself, Piedmon!" Piedmon snickered. "Time to face your worst
nightmares!"

"Dream on!" Tai shouted, jumping into view. "Agumon!"

"Gabumon!"

"Right!"

"Agumon Warp Digivolve to.....War Greymon!"

"Gabumon Warp Digivolve to.....Metal Garurumon!"

Ash turned to the others. "Kick it into high gear! Digiteam Action!" In
an instant, their powers blasted into high gear as thier Crests glowed a
brilliant gold color.

Suddenly, without warning, Sora and Izzy's Digivices started to glow
with newfound power. And someone else felt the pull of the Power.

"I feel the power!" Biyomon and Tentomon cried out.

"Tentomon Warp Digivolve to.....HerculesKabuterrimon!"

"Biyomon Warp Digivolve to.....Pheonixmon!"

Standing boldly, proudly in the middle of the arena amist the amazed
people were two new Digimon, both ready for combat...and truely Mega
Digimon.

"What in the world?" Sora looked down on her Digivice. "What happened
Izzy?"

"I think all the Concentrated Digienergy created a aura effect, Warp
Digivolving our Digimon! Prodigious!"

Myotismon sneered and chuckled in a low voice. "You Digimon aren't the
only ones who can pull that little trick off. Brotherhood, Dark
Digivolve!"

Three of them, Myotismon, Etemon and Devimon started to glow.

"Myotismon Digivolve to...." Large hands shot out of the beam of light
as a incredibly large figure appeared within the beam. "Venomyotismon!"

"Etemon Digivolve to.... Metaletemon!"

"Devimon Digivolve to.... Marinedevimon!"

Ash turned to Pikachu. "Pikachu!"

"Pika! Pikachu Digivolve to.... Pikamon!"

Quickly, the Digidestined had paired off into teams of two with a Mega
Digimon beside them. James raised his hands and shouted, "Psychic
Storm!" A buffeting wind complete with sharp psychic blades shot
forwards.

"Bush basher!" Tracy thrust his hands forwards as a rolling spear of
sharp branches shot towards Marinedevimon.

Herculeskabuterrimon added his own attack to the two. "Mega Electro
Shocker!"

Meanwhile, Metaletemon and Machinedramon had singled out Ranma and
Richie who had both brought their defeat by their own hands the previous
time. "Time to slip up the fact Digidestined brat! Metal Punch!"

Richie's head snapped around as he took the attack and he stumbled
backwards. "Banana Slip!" The thrown banana caught him on the feet and
he fell backwards, his sword scattering to the side. Metaletemon went
for the kill but was caught by one of Phoenixmon's large talons. "Not
just yet."

Ranma found a very LARGE fist coming down on his head and he reached up,
catching the crushing appendage. Machinedramon grinned evilly as he
forced the teen down onto his knees. "Bow to me Digibrat," he snarled.

"Shut up! Chi Cannon!" The blast of internal energies shot forth from
his palms, scorching the metal Machinedramon was made of. He howled as
he stumbled backwards, only to hear Ranma's cry of "Digi Storm!" A hail
of punches each enough to crack prestressed concrete rained down on his
metallic hide.

"I have a bone to pick with you Ketchum," Venomyotismon said while
firing his beams of energy at him. Ash dodged away and raised his staff.
"Courage Force!" A giant ball of energy grew atop the staff as he flung
it forwards.

"Terra Force!" Declared War Greymon as he cupped his hands, the Dramon
Destroyers gleaming with power. Then, he launched his own assault of
power.

Misty and Brock were currently fending off the advances of Puppetmon and
Metalseadramon. Misty firing Ice Lances and Brock going hammer to hammer
with Puppetmon's Puppet Pummel. Metal Garurumon hovered in the
background, waiting for an open shot. Suddenly, Puppetmon pulled a
dagger that gleamed with an ebony shine and threw it. Brock dodged it
but Misty yelped in pain as the dagger cut a thin line of blood on her
arm.

In the midst of the fight, no one noticed Piedmon slip away as he
carefully targeted Tai and Sora with his swords. In a few seconds, the
wild cards would be taken out. "Heh, this is almost TOO easy."

He was right.

"FIRE CANNON!"

A rod of flame slammed into the Evil Digimon, causing a momentary pause
of complete shock in the fight as Piedmon fell back, screaming in pain.
"Who DARES?!" he screamed in rage.

The figure was female. Dressed in red armor with a cloak and hood on her
head, she had the Crest of Light on her chest, a sword at her side that
gleamed with flames. Slowly, she reached up and pushed back her hood to
reveal long purple hair and feminine features. "The Eighth Child is
here."

"Jenette?" Ranma gasped in shock.

She leapt, making a perfect three sixty rotation in the air before
landing in the middle of the battle. Then, in a smooth move, threw
several objects that were neatly caught by the Digidestined.

The objects in question were smooth daggers, the blades Chrome Digizoid,
the handles Mother of Pearl. Crests were imbedded into the hilts as they
sparkled in the night light with inner power.

The silence was suddenly broken by Puppetmon's remark of the whole
situation. "We're screwed."

In an instant, each one of them were engulfed in a bright light as a
dramatic change was undertaken. Each one of them gained a trifold helmet
that seemed to wind its way around their face, creating a t-slit for
eyes and mouth, an elegant mouthplate on the front. Their shoulderguards
became longer and they gained leg protection in forms of large guards.
Long capes appeared on their backs that swirled in the light. Gemstones
in their color appeared on their gauntlets and shin guards.

And in the midst of the energy flow, Pikamon was uplifted.

"Pikamon digivolve to...."

His body grew and in a flash, became a barechested lion Digimon with a
weapon at his side. "Leomon!"

Metalseadramon turned to his companions and said, "I don't know about
you guys, but I'm running." With that, he tunneled under the stadium and
was out of sight within seconds.

The other Evil Digimon, sensing the good intent of self-preservation
that Metalseadramon had put forwards, retreated just as the light show
ended.

Ash opened his eyes and blinked. "Hey, where'd they go?"

"They ran. And doesn't that take th' flaming cake," Ranma grumped.

<><><>

"We were there, and we choked. We had them in our grasp, and we CHOKED.
We could have DESTROYED them and WE CHOKED!" Devimon pounded the table
in anger as he sat down heavily in his throne. "WORMMON! GET IN HERE!"

A small insect Digimon scuttled into the room, bowing and scraping. "Yes
Lord Devimon?"

"Take this," he said, throwing the Dark Digivice to the ground, "And
place it in storage. It has served our purpose."

"As you command Oh Lord Devimon."

As the minion scurried out of the room, Myotismon cast a glance at him.
"So we choked. It does not make any difference. Jessie and Mewtwo have
contacted me. They are returning with the Black Disc as we speak."

"At least someone is doing something useful around here," the Fallen
Angel grumped.

"And what are we? Chopped liver?" Puppetmon demanded.

"You have to only ask."

"Why you!" Within seconds, a full scale brawl was underway.

<><><>

"The Digimon Prophesy's have told of several sets of Digidestined
Children who would bring peace and harmony to both our worlds. It seems
that since the group is now complete, we can set about defeating the
Brotherhood of Evil Digimon." Leomon crossed his legs and sat,
contemplating.

"But it means more fighting. And since we were attacked repeatedly here,
we need a new base of operations," Tracy commented.

"Hmmm....how about Pallet Town? I don't think that they can get there so
easily."

"It's an idea," Leomon admitted.

"What I couldn't figure out is what they're after," Tai commented.

"That's right," Izzy seconded. "If they're searching for something to
beat us with, then they would have used it by now. I wonder what their
real goal is."

"Whatever it is, it can't be good for us," Matt said.

"We'd better stay on guard," said Joe. "No telling what may happen after
this event."

"That's good old Reliable Joe for you." Gomamon said proudly.

Kari hung up the phone. "Alright, thank you. I have an idea. Charles
Goodshow want's to see this whole thing over and done with so he offered
a place for us."

"Great! Where?" Mimi asked.

"On an island in the Orange Archepalgo. Velencia Island."

"Oh, Velencia Island. Professor Ivy lives there, studying the local
Pokemon." Samuel Oak smiled. "It should be educational."

"How are we going to get there?" Ash asked.

"We could fly there but none of us have flying Pokemon." Brock's brow
knitted in thought.

"Already thought of." Kari pulled out a set of tickets. "These are
tickets for a Blimp Ride to Velencia Island. Professor Ivy has been
notified of the current situation and is setting up a base for us."

"It's not a cave is it?" Misty said, shuddering.

"Why Misty? You afraid of Zubat as well as Bugs?" Ash was then floored
by a mallet.

"Very funny Ash!" she stormed.

"I'll call my mom, tell her I'm going. May I use the phone?"

"Sure Jenette," Kari said, handing her the phone.

"The rest of us, as in the Elite Four will stay here. I'm afraid that we
don't have much leverage in the Orange Archipelago since they have their
own Pokemon League." Bruno clasped his son's shoulder.  "But the sixteen
of you can probably handle things by yourself."

"Thanks Dad," Ranma said, wearing a grin as big as his fathers.

"We leave tonight, so pack everything you can." Izzy stood. "I'll call
for a few cabs to take us to the airport."

"Good Idea! Mr. Mime, Brock, Ash, can you three get some of the
Suitcases out from the storage area?"

"Sure! Be glad to!"

The whole house soon decended into Chaos. Much like the McCallisters
going on Christmas Vacation. Only worse. Good thing no one got left
behind or it would have been rather ugly. But soon, they all got to the
airport where Kari checked them all in. She then turned to the others.
"Orignals in the front, EXtreme in the back."

"EXtreme?" Richie asked.

"We have to call you something," Mimi replied. "And EXtreme is so
fashionable these days!"

"I give up," Ash sighed.

Suddenly, without warning, Misty started to stagger. "Ash...I don't...
feel so good...." Then, she collapsed bonelessly to the ground amidst
shocked cries.

"MISTY!"

<><><>

"Here is the disc," Jessie said, placing it within Devimon's hands.

"And here is the volunteer." A Bakemon pushed Giovanni forwards who
scowled at Jessie. She stuck her tongue out at him.

Devimon smirked as he held out the Disc. "You wished for power. Power to
rule the world. Now, it is time for you to gain that power."

"Give it to me," he snapped.

The disc was placed within Giovanni's hands and it flared with dark
light. The black light consumed his body and soon, a low laugh was heard
amidst glowing red eyes.

"Lord Muu, what is your desire?" Devimon asked.

"Revenge...."

Closing Credits and Theme: The Time Has Come

I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
(A scene of Ash picking up a Pokeball and Pikachu escaping from its
inside. He picks up Pikachu and he zaps him.)

Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
'Do anything
For you
(A scene of Ash meeting Misty, Brock throwing a pokeball, and Ash
looking upwards, the camera panning backwards, into the
sky.)

We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we've always been together
(Scenes of Ash running along a beach, Misty, Brock and Pikachu trailing
along in the setting sunlight. A still photo of Ranma sitting atop a
cliff, that fades from brown and white tones to a full color picture,
his pigtail swinging in the wind. A constellation draws itself out on
the sky, Sagittarius the Archer. A shooting star arcs across the sky.)

Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You're the part of my life
I'll always remember
(A shot of Pikachu waving to the sky, his eyes glistening with tears,
Pidgeotto carrying Ryoga away. A shot of Ash's shadowed face, a stream
of tears dripping from his eyes. Ranma gathering Akane in his arms,
Ukyou wrapping a consolidating arm about Brock's shoulder. Ash sitting
down in the grass, Misty leaning on his shoulder, his jacket wrapped
about her shoulders.)

The time has come,
It's for the best I know it
Who could have guessed that you and I...
(Ash's face, haloed in a corona of light, Misty holding onto his
fingertips. He smiles at her, as the light brightens to a blinding view
and she collapses on the ground, sobbing.)

Somehow, someday,
We'd have to say goodbye
Somehow today...
...we have to say goodbye.
