Synopsis
On August 1, 1999, Taichi "Tai" Kamiya, Yamato "Matt" Ishida, Sora Takenouchi, Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi, Mimi Tachikawa, Joe Kido, and Takeru "T.K." Takaishi are at summer camp when it suddenly begins snowing. As they begin to wonder how the snow is falling in the middle of the summer, the seven children are transported into a strange dimension based on computing known as the Digital World, where they each befriend one of the inhabitants, the Digimon. When faced with a threat, the children discover that with the Digivices that their Digimon partners give them, they can help them digitally evolve, or Digivolve, into stronger more powerful forms to combat the new threat.

As they travel through the Digital World's File Island, wanting to find a way home, the children learn that they are the DigiDestined, chosen children who are compatible with Digimon. They were brought to the Digital World to help combat the evil Devimon, who wishes to take over the island. The children overcome his many obstacles, and with their Digimon partners they manage to defeat Devimon, but they learn that he is only the first of several threats to the Digital World. The mysterious Gennai contacts the children and informs them that they should travel to the Server continent in order to retrieve the artifacts known as Crests, which will further empower their Digimon partners, from the evil Etemon and his minions. After more trials and tribulations, the DigiDestined each retrieve their destined Crest and they defeat Etemon when Tai gets his partner Agumon to Digivolve to a new level of power. After Etemon's defeat, Tai and Agumon (as the weaker Koromon) are sent back into the human world, where Tai is reunited with his younger sister Kari Kamiya, who could not join them at summer camp, and discovers that barely minutes have passed since they disappeared. When Tai receives a message from Izzy, he realizes he must return, and says goodbye to his sister, both unaware that another Digivice is in their home.
