After connecting with this mass of energy.
Shiko first sensed Botamon's condition.
Everything was stable.
There were no issues.
After confirming this.
Shiko began injecting life aura into it.
This was a small portion he had separated and drawn out from his own life force.
Although it was an extremely tiny portion.
For an existence like the current Shiko.
This little bit of life force.
Was completely enough.
To grant life to a cold object.
As expected.
When this life force transferred into Botamon's body.
In an instant.
That pair of hollow yellow eyes.
Began shining with light.
Immediately afterward.
Thump, thump, thump!!
The powerful sound of a beating heart rang out.
Shiko sensed the life aura coming from Botamon's body.
He let out a breath of relief.
Finally, a smile appeared on his face.
It succeeded!!
As expected!
After mastering this kind of authority.
Creating life was simply too easy!
After freezing in place for an instant.
Botamon immediately became lively.
From Shiko.
It sensed a familiar feeling.
Its yellow eyes curved into two crescent moons.
Then it leapt straight into Shiko's arms.
Looking at the delighted Botamon.
Shiko nodded in satisfaction.
His first success.
Gave him great confidence.
After this practical experience.
He knew.
The creations that came next would only become simpler.
So very soon.
He continued creating.
Before long.
There was the red-bodied Jyarimon, with two white protrusions.
The Poyomon, which floated like a white ghost.
And the Yuramon, whose whole body was purple and seemed wrapped in white fuzz.
There was also the green Bubbmon, which held something like a pacifier in its mouth.
The tiny Pitchmon, with its large red eyes.
The white YukimiBotamon, with blush on its cheeks and an extremely adorable appearance.
And finally.
The Nyokimon, which had a small green sprout on its head.
These eight Digimon.
Were the most basic Baby-stage Digimon that Shiko created.
Digimon evolution was very complex.
It had many branching paths.
Therefore, although there were only eight Baby-stage species.
The final Digimon forms they could evolve into.
Were far more than just eight.
Shiko was quite satisfied.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Good.
After gaining this experience.
Immediately afterward.
Shiko began perfecting these Digimon in even greater detail.
He closed his eyes once again.
And sank into his own consciousness.
The eight Digimon that had just been created before him.
Once again turned into tangible light-and-shadow forms and appeared in front of him.
At this moment.
Their forms became black-and-white silhouettes in Shiko's eyes.
Within their figures.
There was one energy node after another.
This was the way energy flowed within their bodies.
By altering these energy nodes.
He could determine what their future evolutions would look like.
Following his own memory.
Shiko spent a full hour.
Before he finally perfected every Digimon's evolution route bit by bit.
Looking at the evolution routes that had been thoroughly completed.
Shiko knew.
He had finally completed the magnificent feat of creating lifeforms that belonged to him.
This was creation from nothing.
Not the transformation he had performed before.
Immediately afterward, he followed the templates he had already designed.
And continued creating large numbers of Baby-stage Digimon.
Further expanding the populations of these eight Digimon species.
Each species numbered one hundred.
With such numbers.
As long as he placed them somewhere suitable for them to survive.
They would be able to reproduce and develop on their own.
As for their habitat.
Naturally, it would be this mountain range.
Not only that.
In order to let these Digimon, who were still quite weak, live more safely.
Shiko even used his own aura.
To drive away all Pokémon across a vast area around the valley.
After settling these several hundred Digimon.
Next.
What Shiko needed to do was remain here.
And observe their development.
To see whether things would be just as he expected.
And whether they would develop according to the evolution routes.
As a result.
This observation.
Lasted an entire year.
