As the light faded, a worm-like Digimon with a mysterious mark on his forehead appeared before Alice.
"A-a caterpillar!?"
Looking at the adorable Digimon, who resembled a green caterpillar, Alice instinctively took a step back.
Alice could hardly be blamed for her reaction. It was a woman's instinctive fear of soft-bodied creatures at work.
"I'm Wormmon, not Caterpillarmon."
Hearing Alice's words, Wormmon corrected her in a soft, gentle voice.
[Wormmon, Rookie, Data-attribute larva Digimon. A gentle, kindhearted larva Digimon who, like Veemon and others, is a descendant of an ancient species. Because of certain mysterious data within his body, this Wormmon has undergone a very unusual change. Although he has lost the ability to Armor Digivolve, he possesses even more miraculous abilities.

He could truly be called a Digimon whose future is full of possibilities. His special moves are "Sticky Net," which spits out a highly adhesive web of threads to immobilize his opponent, and "Silk Thread," which spits out a thread as fine as silk, with a tip as hard and sharp as a needle.]

"So, are you my Digimon partner?"
