Mid-month event: Bonding Exercises
"The bond between Tamer and partner is the key." Those were the words Sunflowmon's predecessors had passed down in the records Nanomon had recovered. Obviously, it had been suited towards all sorts of situations, but for Sunflowmon, she knew she had to help and try to foster a strengthened bond between the Tamers and their partners. So many hadn't even evolved past Baby level, after all!
Her answer to try and help with this? Was to organize an obstacle course for the Tamers and their partners to get through. The rules would be simple: No one could pass the obstacle course without doing so alongside their partners. Aside from that? Anything aside from outright sabotaging other participants would be allowed.
The obstacle course would begin with a run through a small maze that had been set up on the training grounds of Tamer Union HQ. It would continue inside to the pool, where Tamers would have to find a way to cross without walking around it; there were ropes hanging from a bar that one could grab onto, temporary platforms that could be hopped across (but wait too long and they'd drop into the water), as well as the option of just swimming across... if you and your partner could both swim, that is.
From there, the trail would lead back outside to the other half of the training grounds, to a wall that both Tamers and partners would have to scale, followed by another track where one had to go over large logs... and then finally, to the biggest challenge of them all:
A stage where partner and Tamer would have to perform an act for a group of assembled Digimon. Any act would do, and it was fine of one ended up totally bombing onstage. But nevertheless, they would have to do something, and they'd have to do it together.
It was daunting, but in Sunflowmon's mind, doable. Anything to strengthen the connection between partner and Tamer!

"Hopefully good ones?" Lalamon offered.

"Some do. I wish there was a better term for them all together, but that's the one everyone uses. But there's a lot of differences between them, from the Amalj'aa to the Vath to the Kobolds..."

"But we're making good progress - La Noscea is at peace with most of the Kobolds and the Sahagin for the first time in... ever." Now for the other city-states...

"That's what I spent the last five years on," Lalamon said. "Trying to help Digimon understand and accept humans."
no subject
Even if he does get mistaken for a Digimon a lot of the time...

"You can thank one guy in particular for that," Lalamon groused.
Yoshino's expression turned serious. "Kurata..."
no subject
But hm. "I take it this 'Kurata' is a repeating problem for you?"

"Good riddance if you ask me," said Lalamon.

... In most cases. He can think of a few where that doesn't work.
