As they were traveling inside the living train Danny noticed that his partner seemed to be upset about something. [color=39b54a]"What is wrong?"[/color] Hirschmon explained what happened between him and Minomon the other day. [color=00a651]"And we didn't even  get to say goodbye or anything like that. Plus Kiba taking Pabumon along defeated the entire too dangerous part of my reasoning."[/color]  
Before Danny could say or do anything to cheer Hirschmon up Locomon seemingly hit the emergency-brake due to an attacking Digimon. Once again Dorumon was the first to go on the offensive. 

Unlike the small purple dragon Hirschmon decided to stay closer to Locomon in case either more enemies would show up or something happened to endanger the humans and baby Digimon. He still kept an eye on the battle just in case Doru needed help and when he got injured decided to step in.  [color=00a651]"Swarm Attack."[/color]  While about half of the small beetle shaped missiles hit their target, they only seemed to annoy Drimogemon and alert him to the presence of other opponents.

Drimogemon angrily dug up a fossil and with a shout of "Crusher Bone" threw it at the second rookie Digimon to attack him that day. Not wanting any of the humans to get hurt Hirschmon didn't even try to dodge, despite the danger. As a result the bone not only pushed him several feet back but also clearly damaged him pretty badly as his chest started to leak out data, though it wasn't quite bad enough to force him to degenerate.
(Fine with me.)
