Phascomon watches through your goggles as you snap them on. You run your finger over the green laurels on either side of your eyegear. It feels like they've grown longer somehow. The two of you stare blankly at the ring of shouting punks, cheering one another on as a fight breaks out in the middle.
But it's not another fistfight. Two Digimon are going at it, right there in public.
"GOBURIMON! GET HIM!"
A green, child-sized creature slams a club down onto empty air, narrowly missing its target.
<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">GOBURIMON- ROOKIE- ONI- VIRUS
PULSEMON- ROOKIE- BEAST MAN- VACCINE
</span></span>
Its opponent is green as well, and is zipping around while clutching its chest. It's wounded and gritting its teeth in pain. Prickly hairs stick up in anger, as it faces down the Digimon and its tamer. It looks around for an escape route, but the path is closed by the dozens of spectators.
<span class="mu-s">"What are they doing...? Ain't they scared of being spotted?"</span>
"A whole load of Tower Digimon flew away earlier. Maybe surveillance is light today. That guy- I don't see a Digivice on him."
<span class="mu-s">"Then where are the bots? Aren't they drawn to this stuff?"</span>
"They should be coming any... Oh. The scanner. It's down."
You look up at the skyline, but find yourself unable to see the giant dishes from here. They've stopped spinning ever since DarkTyrannomon wrecked the inside. You're sure there's a backup, and it won't be down forever, but maybe their response time has been affected by this. They can't look for every single rogue Rookie or Baby anymore.
"Why's he doing that?"
<span class="mu-s">"Posturing. Impressing all those chumps. I don't know. But this doesn't look like a fair fight. These people, they're-"</span>
"They're making a sport of it." You agree.
Maybe it's hypocritical. You've hunted down Digimon to fight before, for the sake of getting stronger. Phascomon needed fuel, so someone had to go. But this is just a bit different. They're treating this Pulsemon like it's a new toy, to be smashed for entertainment.
