Digimon Tamers began in 2001, a whole new series that has new characters and storyline.
This story occurs in an alternate universe where Digimon is seen as a franchise as like in our world, where Digimon consists of collectible card games and video games.
It all started when Takato was daydreaming of Digimon, he drew one and swiped it with his Digivice, which in this series is known as the D-Arc. To his surprise, the Digimon he created came to life.
In the mean time, Henry and Rika had also met their Digimon partners. Henry forbid his partner Digimon, Terriermon to fight, and Rika was the complete opposite, that loved to make Renamon fight and take in their strength. Lastly, Takato and Guilmon made a perfect team and friendship, with Guilmon absolutely set on food.
The three Tamers were very difference in attitudes but were brought together in fighting against evil when strange Digimon came through their world and attacked. Fighting them one by one, they realised that more would come, so they needed to go to the Digital World to find some answers.
Set of to their journey, the group of Tamers found ways to Biomerge, a way of Digivolution that combined the data of the humans and Digimon together to become one. This helped them discover a big surprise.
The Soverigns that sent the Digimon into the human world seemed to be the enemies at first, but as later discovered, they were simply trying to protect their world. Unfortuately, a computer program called the D-reaper that went out of order started to multply and destroy the Digital World would gradually destroy the human world.
This required the Tamers to work closely together and facing danger as they fight the D-reaper.
