Why did Aikido class HAVE to run late on one of the hottest nights of the year? Of course, that made him miss the last bus and he was left with no option, but to walk back to the apartment he shared with his mom and sister. He'd been in such a rush leaving class, Raion had barely even changed out of his gi; electing to wear the red bottoms underneath a tank top to stay cool. Thankfully, this situation had happened often enough that Raion knew of a shortcut through Mizumoto Park. In addition, the breeze blowing through the park would be a welcome relief from the heat and sweat of the dojo. At this point, Raion wasn't even worried about rushing home. His mom would get back even later than he would, and Aiko was old enough to take care of herself. Shortly after entering the park, Raion heard his cell phone buzzing from inside his gym bag. After pulling it out, he was surprised to see a notification from Digimon: Emergence. The teenager had been a frequent player at one point, but after Aiko decided it wasn't 'cool' to be playing video games with her brother, she'd abandoned him and their frequent outings to play the game.

With nothing better to do, Raion opened the app and began to play as he walked. Of course, all his old settings were still in place. Upon opening the game, he was greeted by his partner "Elecmon". Raion smiled as he saw the little red Digimon perk up on screen. He'd received Elecmon's digi-egg when he'd first started playing the game and he immeadiately felt an odd kinship with the Digimon. His sister and friends had laughed at him for holding onto the 'weak' starter, but Raion had been determined to help the little guy become as strong as he could. In a few moments, Raion was walking and playing like he had never stopped in the first place. He was so lost in the game that he didn't notice the small crowd of players up ahead. When he finally looked up, Raion looked around confused for several moments before he realized, [color=crimson]"Oh. Are you all here for the X-Antibody event?"[/color]
