Scene 1: The Park
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!"
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."

Scene 2: The Call
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."

Scene 3: The Decision
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."

Scene 5: The Journey Home
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.
