When three Digimon enthusiasts -- Rika, Henry, and our protagonist Takato -- unexpectedly come into possession of "real" Digimon, they realize that caring for a living creature is much more demanding than managing a few pixels on a TV screen. The children attempt to act as Digimon 'Tamers,' or Digimon caretakers, yet they all appear to hold differing views on what that role involves. Rika believes Digimon should engage in battle, Henry insists they should never fight, and Takato ... seems to occupy a middle ground. Being a Tamer is not merely about holding one belief or another. It involves learning and adapting for the benefit of everyone involved. However, they still have a long journey ahead, and their troubles are only just starting.
