Of course... there are ways around every law. If one could consider it a way around, after all, 'the strong from the weak' can take on many forms, not just brute strength or sheer speed. There is cunning, guile, and skill.
The Data type Ultimate digimon's form was that of a floating mask (half tragedy, half comedy ) and an empty cape topped off with gentleman's gloves and boots. He had calmly been stalking his prey for a few hours now. The prey was just Champion, but still, given the prey's species, and given the time of year in the human world, the Maskmon considered it a special occasion that required special events. He had heard how human carefully prepared their input data before downloading, he wondered if he could do something similar here, though he'd have to overcome the problem that digimon when they died fell apart back into their base data. Maybe if he strapped the orange weakling to a rock and downloaded it's data one body part at a time?
His thoughts were interrupted when the giant boulders on the top of the cliffs of the canyon he was stalking his meal in suddenly came loose, and plummeted downwards. He only had time to finnish saying the first two words of his attack before the over sized rocked crushed his invisible body flat.
The strong verses the weak can also manifest as just dumb luck: case in point. The pumpkinmon meekly crawled out of his hiding place, saw the pile of digital stones, and saw the mist of data bits slowly lifting out of the mess. Oh he wasn't going to pass -this- up! The melon headed digimon ran for the free meal and quickly downloaded every last scrap of information. After doing so, the pumpkinmon shuddered, he had gotten much more lucky than he could have imagined. Not only had he gotten the data of a digimon stronger than, he felt he had assimilated one of the digimon's attack. A very, a very interesting one too. Though really, it was worthless in the digital world, he wondered how an ultimate with such a weird attack had lasted as long as it had... still... Pumpkinmon looked at the planet Earth above in the digital world's sky. Maybe he could have some fun with it. He had always dreamed of going to the human world, but always lacked the drive to do so. But now, with this twist, it was just too good an opportunity to pass up.
Dump luck smiled on Pumpkinmon again as after taking a few information streams he was near the digital world's top layer, rather than (just as likely) being dumped near the homestead of a much larger and hungry digimon.
There are countless theories on how digimon cross over into the real world. Some say it's just sheer force of will, others consider the possibility that humans call them to the real world, cynical minds say it's just random, which given the pattern of bio-merging couldn't be more unlikely. Thus maybe, it was the time of year that created the digital field that drew Pumpkinmon through the veil and into the material world. All those thoughts and ideas not just kids but many adults too felt during this time of autumn. Their thoughts pulled at him, and bridged the gap between the digital and the real. Of course Pumpkinmon was really ignorant of all this, he just knew that his luck was running high today, and a free ticket away from this harsh desert had landed right in his lab and a he took it! And judging by the decorations he saw on the buildings when he materialized (most of them with his face) he knew he had come at just the right time of year. This weird attack Maskmon had possessed, to transform someone into whatever and -who-ever they were pretending to be at that moment. But he knew how much humans were phobic of change, even in the name of fun! He knew who he had to try out his new toy on first before trying it out on others.
Hmmm, but where was he exactly?
