Digimon Adventure

Original title: デジモンアドベンチャー

Overview

On August 1, 1999, seven children from Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan, are transported into the Digital World by Digivices that appeared before them at summer camp, where they befriend several Digimon (Digital Monsters). The children's Digivices allow their partner Digimon to Digivolve into stronger forms and combat enemies. As the children explore to find a way home, they learn that they are "DigiDestined", children chosen to save the Digital World. During their adventure, the DigiDestined are hunted by Devimon, who uses black gears to corrupt various Digimon into attacking the group. After defeating Devimon, the DigiDestined are contacted by Gennai and instructed to reach the Server Continent to retrieve artifacts called Crests, allowing their Digimon partners to Digivolve into their Ultimate forms. During this time, they are targeted by Etemon. After Etemon is defeated, the DigiDestined learn from Gennai that there is an eighth DigiDestined child, who Myotismon is entering the real world to kill. The DigiDestined follow after Myotismon to the real world. After discovering that the eighth child is Tai's younger sister, Kari, and that Myotismon's lieutenant Gatomon is her Digimon partner, the DigiDestined are able to defeat Myotismon. However, the boundaries between the real world and Digital World are intersecting, forcing them to return to the Digital World. The DigiDestined face the Dark Masters, a quartet of mega-level Digimon who each took control of a part of the Digital World in their absence. In the midst of their battles, they learn that they were chosen to save the real and Digital Worlds from intersecting four years ago. Tension leads to infighting within the group and causes them to temporarily separate. After reflecting, the DigiDestined reunite to defeat the last Dark Master, and confront Apocalymon, the mastermind who plotted to destroy both worlds. Apocalymon destroys their Crests, but the DigiDestined realize the power of their Crests was inside them all along as they have already unlocked their powers and manage to defeat him. With the Digital World restored, Tai and his friends leave their Digimon partners behind and return to their normal lives.

Oh, by the way, my name's Tai. This is Sora. She's okay, for a girl. And Matt. Matt's too cool. Just look at that haircut! And this little kid is Izzy. He should have gone to computer camp. That's Mimi. I bet you can guess her favorite color on the first try. T.K. is Matt's dopey little brother. Oh, and this is Joe. But don't ever scare him. He'd probably wet his pants.

T.K.: I'm gonna build the biggest snowman! Matt: Hey T.K.! Be careful. Slow down! Sora: Brr! It is freezing. And I didn't bring a jacket. Joe: Man! I was worried I'd catch a summer cold. But this is even worse! Mimi: Wow! Why didn't I pack my fluffy pink snow boots? Izzy: Still not working. Bummer. This storm's making a mess of my infrared internet connection.
