"Who is this Ashimon?" Tai asked. Alimon just shuddered.
Mimi looked at her and said, "She or he isn't evil, I don't think."
"You said that there were no other evil . . ."
"Well, I was wrong!" Alimon suddenly blurted out. She quickly relaxed, surprised at her anger.
"Wrong?" Tai asked, cocking his eyebrow in suspicion.
Sighing, she said, "Ashimon is an evil two-legged half mythical digimon. She is not a purebred mythical digimon, so that's why I didn't count her." By the way, Ashimon is pronounced (ash-ee-mon).
"Ashimon is a girl?" Matt asked.
Alimon glared at Matt. "Yes, she is. I don't like her one bit. But I'm a champion digimon and she's an ultimate. Which means I can't fight her nor Fukagarurumon(foo-kuh-gar-roo-roo-mon)."
Gabumon heard this and seemed offended. "Hey! Don't call me Fukagarurumon!"
Alimon giggled. "No, no, no, little Gabumon. Fukagarurumon is an evil digimon, who's also part mythical digimon. The word 'fuka' means 'bad'." At this, Gabumon relaxed. Abit.
Alimon seems to be hiding something from the kids. She wouldn't answer any questions about Ashimon. Tai and Kari thought that Alimon had told them everything. But now they seem to be thinking about her differently. They don't completely trust Alimon anymore. Alimon knew this, but she couldn't tell the truth. The truth that Ashimon was her evolved form. Could she?
Tai frowned and asked, "Why do you feel nervous talking about Ashimon, Alimon?"
"You don't want to know." With that, Alimon turned and walked away. She sat by the river that was nearby. She watched as the water roughly washed against the rocks. The moon was out now and the stars sparkled brightly. Alimon laid down on her side and went to sleep. She just couldn't reveal her secret. Her dark secret.
"What do you think is making Alimon act like this?" Joe asked. The kids and digimon had gathered together when Alimon left to the river.
The fire crackled as Kari sat by Tai, saying, "Maybe she's . . . hiding something from us." Tai agreed. He also thought that Alimon was hiding something from them.
"She wouldn't even tell us what Ashimon digivolved from." Matt had said this. T.K. and Patamon sat on a rock nearby to Matt.
Sora seemed a little suspicious, too. "She only told us a few things like what their attacks were."
"What were they again?" Mimi asked.
Izzy answered, "Fukagarurumon's attack is Storm Blaster and Ashimon's attack is Cloud of Destruction." Izzy had his laptop computer. He was trying to look up Ashimon, but none of them had seen her. So it was useless. Disappointed, he put his computer away. What they didn't know was that Ashimon was closer than they thought.
She was hiding in a bush nearby. "So, Alimon hadn't told them, eh?" Ashimon laughed to herself. "Well, they all will find out soon enough." Fukagarurumon arrived soon after she said these words. Fukagarurumon looked like Garurumon, except gray with black stripes.
"So, did Alimon tell them that you were her digivolved form?" The evil digimon sat down like a dog, his tail arched up.
She looked at him, smiling slyly. "Nope, she hasn't. They all seem to be turning against her."
"Why?"
"They feel like she's hiding something. She is. Well," Ashimon answered, "soon, Alimon's dark secret will be revealed!" With that, both digimon turned and walked away. They had a plan. They wouldn't attack the kids and digimon just yet.
Alimon sensed something and woke up. She saw Ashimon and Fukagarurumon leave. "Oh, no!" She yelled quietly. She ran to the others to warn them.
