In Tokyo, Shinjuku, things are so filled with some wonders. Wonders of their culture and the landmarks that would feel the people of their needs and wants. Also, the place where there is a lot of Japanese yen to be used in spending for a lot of things like luxury and even survival needs. Not to mention there's also Digimon living there secretly.

There is also one man who tries to get a discovery out of this...

In a nearby bank in town, an alarm is triggered as a man whose appearance is poor, not to mention his green business suit looks messy. Also, his coat is open. His name is Valmont and he came to Japan as a way to get away from Jackie Chan as he keeps on foiling his plans there. Since the failures of the talismans and the demon portals, his wealth is running out. Not only that, he has lost Finn, Ratso, and Chow to a Dark Chi Wizard named Daolon Wong. It seems he runs out of the bank with a bag of money inside.

"Blast!" he shouted as he runs away, but a police car is on his right so he runs to the left. Unfortunately, there's another police car. "Blast!" he shouted again the word as he runs out to an alleyway leading to a dumpster. As the police went past it, not to noticed this, he leaves the dumpster afterwards.

For him, that is a close for comfort.

"Me, Valmont, mastermind of the Dark Hand, fleeing authorities like a common criminal again!" he yelled as he ended up bumping into a little girl. As he looked at her, her appearance is wearing a broken hearted t-shirt and dark blue jeans. Her name is Rika Nonaka and she is the so called Digimon Queen. Not to mention she's in a bad mood. This is because she got into an argument with her Digimon partner, Renamon and said she didn't need her and left her house.

"Would you move out of the way?!" she pushes the man aside in anger.

"Did you got into an argument with your partner?" Valmont wondered.

As she hears this statement, Rika stops walking away as she can't believe what she heard coming out of him.

"It's none of your business!"

"Oh yes, it is. You're just like me," Valmont smugly stated.

"I am not!" Rika shouted.

"Oh yes, you are. You see, you shared the same attitude as I am. Both of us are rich and not treating our non-human partners and before you know it, we don't need them after all. Does that look familiar to you?"

As he said this statement, the redheaded girl realizes that it matches of what she is doing. To her, he's right; they're the same. Too bad she didn't even care about to ask him of what's in the bag; she doesn't even realize he's stealing money from the bank she walked past at. Valmont smiled as she begins to take notice of this.

"Here's more. When you said you hate your partner or the species, then you'll know you're just like me because I also have that kind of thing," he added more then he realizes he doesn't have her name. "One more thing, little girl, can I have your name?"

"Rika. Rika Nonaka," the girl replied reluctantly.

"Well, Rika, I'm looking forward to being your friend because of those similarities," Valmont looked from her back as the police cars are coming for him. As a result, he runs off.

"Wait, aren't you going to tell me your name?"

"Oh, you'll find out," the former crime lord started running away so Rika continues to wander off the city by herself.

"What a jerk, running off without telling me his name. Oh man, what am I saying? He's right! I'm just like him because of this. Now he's in my head!"

Valmont hides to a nearby laundry shop to wait for the cops to stop looking for him. As they did, he takes off his clothes and wash them with a few coins. He comes out of the store with his suit clean, but his shoes aren't so he goes to a nearby shoe store to fix it. Now he looks good as new, although his clothes have a few torns, not to mention he looks dirty with his hair being untidy and having bandages on his hands.

"I needed to find an apartment and fix my suit, but first..." he said slyly as he thought about Rika. As a result, he decided to follow her, but he doesn't know where she is headed so he asked directions to a woman who is about to go to cross the street after waiting from a stop sign. "Excuse me, lady, have you seen a little girl with red hair, wearing a broken hearted t-shirt and jeans?"

"She's going to a nearby building," was the reply.

"Thank you," Valmont said, but he isn't going in that building. Well, but not before he carefully steals a few dollars from her wallet and putting it back to her purse. Instead, he buys a pair of binoculars from an antique store. He decided to watch all what is happening from another building just so in case if there's any threat going on in there. "This could be useful," he stated as he caught his eyes on Rika looking all antisocial and taking her walk, not even realizing she's been watched. It means trouble for her.

He watched it all as Rika is in trouble by the hands of IceDevimon, who taunted her of her attitude. Just then, Renamon comes to her rescue but failed. Even so, Takato and Henry went to her rescue as the former's Digimon partner, Guilmon, defeats the villainous Digimon. However, things aren't going so well with Rika.

"I hate 'em," Rika muttered.

"Well, he's gone now," Takato reassured.

"Not him. I hate Digimon. All of them!" the girl yelled as she left the building. Her partner, as Kyubimon, left in a different direction. This is a moment of separation for them just like Valmont has one with Shendu.

Valmont has caught all that from his binoculars. Taking them off from his eyes, he makes a smirk as he continues to follow Rika to see where her house is. At least he could find something interesting in her.
