**"What? Digimon?!"**
Captain Jean looked suspiciously at the little creature in front of her, which was being held by little Klee. It turned out to be the huge monster, five meters tall, that had just appeared. Now, it was sitting obediently in Klee's hands.
This… this seemed a little unscientific.
"Klee, Sister Amber is right, isn't it true that you fought against the Frozen Tree all by yourself?" Captain Jean's voice reached Klee's ears.
Then Klee suddenly shuddered!
The little black ball beast also seemed to know that its master was scared of the woman in front of her. Subconsciously, it planned to leap out and stand in front of Klee.
But it had just evolved, which already drained the little beast's energy, making its tired body even weaker.
Klee was still a child, and this little black ball beast was like a baby. A baby that had just been born.
As a result, it evolved rapidly—from the black ball beast to the rolling ball beast, and then to the Agumon.
This could be considered a leapfrog evolution.
Who would have thought that when Klee was in danger, the little black ball beast would evolve into a Tyrannosaurus?!
This was no longer an infant Digimon, but a mature Digimon. Could it really evolve at will?
Out of curiosity, Jean directly lifted the little black ball beast from Klee's hands. She looked it over carefully, and as Klee had said, this little Digimon had no gender.
Keke. As for what it really was… well, that was hard to say.
**"Lumine, why don't we turn in the task first?"**
At that moment, Paimon's voice snapped everyone out of their shock.
Sakura also nodded.
Anyway, Boss Takumi's shop was right across from the Adventurer's Association. Just a few steps away.
Because of the Tyrannosaurus, Mondstadt was in a state of panic. But when they discovered that the monster was actually the pet of little Klee, everyone's fears finally calmed down.
**"Then let's turn in the task first."**
In this adventure, Klee hadn't contributed much strength. All she did was call out, "666!" outside. She was still little Klee, even though she was petite. But with an explosive Tyrannosaurus, she could defeat a Frozen Tree in one hit!
Klee's love for such a powerful creature was real. However, she now had to hand in the task before she could continue watching anime.
It's not like she could ignore the Tyrannosaurus and just hang out at Boss Takumi's shop!

At this time, Takumi was busy sketching new illustrations and posters.
There was no way—although he had traveled to this world, he still couldn't neglect his skills.
So, before Jean arrived with Klee and Amber, Takumi had no idea that Klee's Digimon had undergone a leapfrog evolution.
---
Ten minutes later…
Takumi, with a surprised expression, carefully looked at the little black ball beast in Klee's hand.
"Klee, Xiao Hei seems to be fine, but its physical energy has been drained from the excessive evolution."
"At that time, you can feed it something to eat."
After saying that, Takumi returned Xiao Hei to Klee, and then looked at Klee with an incredulous gaze.
**"Klee, do you remember how you felt when Xiao Hei evolved?"**
Digimon didn't evolve for no reason. There was always some kind of foreshadowing.
Take the Tyrannosaurus that Tai Chi and Kari met when they were young. Initially, it was just a rolling ball beast. But when it faced the dangers of the human world, it chose to protect Tai Chi and Kari, eventually evolving into a Tyrannosaurus.
So, what happened between Klee and the little black ball beast? That's why the little black ball beast would willingly exhaust its own energy to fight!
**"Well~ At that time, Klee just wanted to protect Xiao Hei from getting hurt."**
Klee touched her little head and thoughtfully added, **"Also, I wanted to blow up Ji Dongshu with a bouncing bomb!"**
Takumi nodded. He now understood.
It was after the little black ball beast felt Klee's kindness and courage that it evolved.
However, it was precisely because of this instability that after the battle, it reverted back to its previous form.
So far, so good.

The evolution of Digimon had a lot of randomness. According to the digital world's subsequent settings, the light of evolution was guided by the ancient music beast. This ancient music beast was once the Light of Evolution.
The divisions of the Digimon world were relatively broad, with each region being guarded by a holy beast: Jeanglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird, each controlling one of the four regions of the southeast, northwest, southwest, and northeast.
These holy beasts governed their areas and controlled the evolution of Digimon for a period of time.
Once a Digimon couldn't adapt to its evolved form, it would be discarded as "garbage."
The "garbage return station" was similar to the trash bin on a computer. Once filled, negative energy would begin to accumulate. This "garbage" was disposed of in a place called the Dark Zone.
This zone contained places like the Split Wetlands, Recycled Caves, and Oasis City.
---
Because the evolution process was unstable, the chosen children, like Tai Chi and Kari, would carry the divine plan that guided the evolution of Digimon. This divine plan allowed the children to bond with their partners and helped them evolve.
But if the Digimon couldn't adapt to the evolution, they might end up discarded as garbage.
Fortunately, there was a connection between Klee and the little black ball beast. Even though it had evolved, the black ball beast was largely unaffected.
In the anime, Agumon once evolved into Zombie Greymon because of Tai Chi. Zombie Greymon wasn't a wrong evolution, it was just a different path. Zombie Greymon didn't obey its master's orders, unlike the intelligent Greymon.
Mechanical Tyrannosaurus was even more aggressive.
**"So, if Klee wants to travel with the little black ball beast in the future, she'll have to be careful."**
Takumi smiled. **"Of course, if Klee can obtain the divine plan and the evolution key, she will be able to undergo a stable evolution."**
