Akira awoke feeling like he had just been run over by a train. His head throbbed his back hurt and he felt like something was poking at his ribs. 

[i]Hang on a moment something is poking my ribs.[/i] he thought before lifting his arm and feeling for what ever it was. Moments later he was rolling through the sand away from whatever the little orange thing was standing before him.
"What the hell is that thing?" he asked aloud.
"Thing? I'll have you know that I'm a Digimon thank you very much." the little orange creature had said in a slightly male sounding voice.
"Wait you can talk? Like really talk?" Akira replied still trying to wrap his head around what all was going on.
"Sure," the small creature said flapping what looked like wings that came from where his ears should have been. "all Digimon can...Hey is that yours?" he said lifting off and hovering over a small red and white device.
"No, but it is now." he said picking up the small device. "I bet I could plug this into a computer and be able to hack anything." he added looking the device over.
"Okay enough of that," The winged creature said hovering in front of Akira's face. "You are going to help me get stronger got it? There are some Digimon here that aren't the best of people and I need to beat them." he added. "So from this point forward we're partners and you can call me Patamon."
"Hold up there pipsqueak I don't take orders from anyone especially not a mutated bat." Akira said pocketing the device and turning to see a small girl standing next to what looked like a small fairy. Grinning he turned around to look at Patamon. "On second thought Patamon. I think we could make a great team and you know what i bet we both could become the strongest out there."
"I knew you would come around." Patamon said smiling and starting toward the little girl. "Let's go see how many other humans there are since clearly you all aren't Digimon." he said smiling and flying ahead. Akira simply nodded his head and started walking wondering who all he would wind up having to babysit.
