It's a hatching day in Primary Village! What new friends will hatch today?
"Bubbub bubbabub buu... Mochimon!"
Apparently-Mochimon joins in the blueberry-eating, picking one at a time and popping them into its mouth.
The teeny red blob follows suit, with a "Punini punipu puuu... Nyaromon!"
It's now pretty close to the size its two friends started out, but still smaller than they are now. It sets about making face-first hops into the bush to bite off berries.
If it looks inside itself, it'll find that not only can it now grow bigger, it can grow itself in one of two ways.
One is blueberry-flavored ("Growing Sharper"). The other tastes like the red fruits ("Inner Fire").
It can't quite reach orb-flavor relaxwise, but it could do it stretchwise, so maybe it's not far. ("Beetle Strength")
It contemplates this choice.
It likes blueberries a LOT. It also likes the red fruits a lot! Why can't it do BOTH of the things?
...but as much as it loved that sense of clarity, fire feels right in a way nothing else quite matches.
It grows itself spicily.
"Digivolution."
Odd-shaped motes of light swirl around the red creature, lifting it into the air and forming a radiant cocoon. Digimon. Di-Di-Digimon. Syncopated techno music plays as the cocoon cracks open.
Digivolve into— Digimon. Within, the creature is laid bare in red wireframe. Even hunched over, it stands more than five times its prior height. Di-Di-Di Digimon.
Flesh fills in, from its tail to its paws to its now-muscular chest, marked with a triangular symbol. As the creature descends to the grass, the transformation completes with its head.
WOOOOOOOW.
It's so BIG now.
And it has so many FEATURES.
Look!! Claws!!!
It licks its claws delightedly and flops into the grass to roll around in celebration. Its arms and legs have REACH now! It can FLAIL them at DISTANT OBJECTS! Look! Look!! Look at its glorious swishable tail!!!!

Hey, nickname! That's a nickname! The creature has a nickname! It's a good nickname. The creature wiggles proudly.
"You did the thing!," exclaims the pink blob. "Hooray!" It wiggles its arms in joy, like an enthusiastic balloon outside an auto dealer.
"WOW," says the little fuzzy blob. "You're SO BIG."
(Hotshot is indeed big - the fuzzy blob is now perhaps the size of one of his paws, the pink blob roughly the size of his head, and even Elecmon is only about the size of Hotshot's torso.)
Speaking of which, he can now see Elecmon and all the other creatures in the field - he towers over everyone there, and even rivals some of the bushes around the field for size. The colorful city's still firmly bigger than he is, as are the trees beyond the bushes; he now has an entirely unobstructed view to them.
"Yeah!!! I DID and I AM!"
He scoops up the fuzzy blob and bops it gently with his nose, and then does the same to the pink blob with more of a sidewaysish face-nuzzle. He feels so BIG and POWERFUL.
Friends can be nuzzled by the big powerful dragon! He's got a world of options, now.
Between the efforts of the four ’mon, this bush is fairly stripped of berries, but there's other bushes around and trees farther out.
Or the city of blocks still lurks, full of geometric shapes taller than Hotshot and painted with colorful images.
And there's still lots of little blobs around, in various shapes; all are smaller than Hotshot, but some are reaching a similar level of development. Elecmon seems to be leading some sort of rhythmic motion session. Chibimon is nowhere in sight.
"I wanna do THAT," he says, pointing his nose at Elecmon, and he nuzzles his scooped-up friends again and then bounds in that direction, carrying them along with him.
"...now, ’mon without arms keep doing cross-lateral stretches, and ’mon with arms, we're gonna learn shoulder circles.
"Oh hey, more folks! Come on over, we're doing body exercises to filter data and learn new ways to use our bodies. Find a spot where you won't hit anyone if you move around a little and join in! Nyaromon, you can copy what Wanyamon is doing."
FIRST he is going to TACKLE ELECMON and give him THE BIGGEST NOSEBOP.
Okay now he can find a clear space and learn things.
Elecmon is knocked back by the force of the nosebop, but he chuckles, "Okay, okay! It's good to see you too, Hotshot."
Elecmon leads the group through a variety of exercises - some basic like stretches, some more advanced like different postures for running. Some require teamwork to execute - if Hotshot is willing, he can train arm strength holding a bar while smaller arm-equipped ’mon use it for chin-ups.
Then various little blobs will get to do chin-ups, as Hotshot practices lifting their various weights.
