Yun Xia and her siblings sit on a bench, the aroma of street food wafting through the air. Jade is scrolling through her phone, while Xia Yue is busy trying to catch a butterfly.

Yun Xia: (sighs) "I can't believe we're still waiting for Aduma. He said he'd be here by now."

Jade: (glancing up) "Patience, Yun Xia. You know how he is. Probably lost in his own world again."

Xia Yue: (giggling) "Maybe he's battling a wild Digimon! Or he got distracted by a snack stand!" To my siblings

Just then, Aduma rushes into view, panting and holding a half-eaten burger.

Aduma: (waving) "Hey! Sorry I'm late! You won't believe what happened!"

Yun Xia: (rolling her eyes) "Let me guess, you got sidetracked by food?"

Aduma: (grinning) "Well, yes, but also—"

Before he can finish, his phone buzzes. He glances at the screen, his expression shifting to concern.

Aduma: "Uh-oh. It's Ni Qiao Qiao. She's calling about the tournament."

Aduma answers the phone, his voice lowering as he speaks.

Aduma: "Hello, Ni Qiao Qiao? What's up?"

The others lean in, curious.

Ni Qiao Qiao: (voice crackling) "Aduma! You need to get back home. There's something strange happening with the Digimon network. It's like they're… glitching."

Aduma: (frowning) "Glitching? What do you mean?"

Ni Qiao Qiao: "I don't know! But it's affecting the Digimon battles. Some are going rogue. You need to hurry!"

Aduma hangs up, looking serious.

Aduma: "We need to go. Ni Qiao Qiao said the tournament is in danger." The Decisions

Yun Xia stands up, determination in her eyes.

Yun Xia: "Then we have to get home and figure this out. We can't let anything happen to our Digimon!"

Jade: (nodding) "Agreed. We need to strategize. If there's a glitch in the system, we might be facing rogue Digimon in the tournament."

Xia Yue: (excitedly) "Can I bring my Digimon? I want to help!

Yun Xia: "Of course! We'll need all the help we can get."

As they start to leave, a shadow looms over them. A tall figure steps forward—Asuda, with a smirk on his face.

Asuda: "Going somewhere? I couldn't help but overhear your little conversation. Sounds like trouble."

Yun Xia (crossing her arms) "What do you want, Asuda?"

Asuda: "Just offering my… assistance. I have some intel on the glitches. But it'll cost you."

Scene 4: The Offer

Jade steps forward, wary of Asuda's intentions.

Jade: "What kind of intel? And why should we trust you?"

Asuda: (leaning closer) "Because if you don't, you might lose your chance at the tournament. And I know you want to win, Yun Xia."

Yun Xia exchanges glances with her siblings, weighing their options.

Yun Xia "Fine. What do you know?"

Asuda: "Meet me at the old warehouse by the docks. I'll explain everything. But be careful—there are others who want to take advantage of this chaos."as to the

As they walk away from the park, Xia Yue skips ahead, excitement bubbling over.

Xia Yue "This is going to be epic! We're going to save the tournament!"

Jade (smiling) "Just remember, it's not just about winning. We need to protect our Digimon."

Yun Xia looks at her siblings, a mix of determination and concern on her face.

Yun Xia: "Let's get home first. We need to prepare for whatever's coming."

As they head home, the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows behind them. The adventure is just beginning.
