Kari and Gatomon

Kari and Gatomon have a really special relationship. That's because of their story. Gatomon was separeted from others digimon when they were all still in DigiEgg. As Nyaromon she waited for Kari all alone. When she finally evolved to Salamon she decided to go looking for Kari. She didn't have any luck but she was found by Myotismon who beat her all the time. She evolved in Gatomon and became one of Myotismon team. Her only real friend was Wizardmon who died for her. Gatomon and Wizardmon helped Myotismon with looking for the eight digidestined. After all these years Gatomon forgot what was she waiting for. But when she saw Kari she remembered that she was waiting for her partner. Because of that Gatomon betrayed Myotismon and helped Kari and other digidestined.

Kari and Gatomon became really good friends immediately. Gatomon always protected Kari ... when she was sick or when there was an evil digimon after her (after digidestined).

In episode 53 when their crests were destroyed and they though they were defeated Gatomon didn't believe it. Because what would be the point of searching for Kari?

Gatomon: We can't let ourselves be defeated here. If we do, then what was the point of my search for Hikari all this time?
Kari: Tailmon ...
Gatomon: I've been waiting so long for the day when I could meet you and protect you, Hikari. *

In the last episode when digidestined had to go back home they were saying goodbyes to their digimon. Kari gave her whistle to Gatomon.

Gatomon: For me?
Kari: Yeah!
Gatomon: Thank you.
Kari: It looks very good on you.
Gatomon: Really? Well ... take care ... Hikari
Kari: Yeah. Until next time.
Gatomon: Next time?
Kari: Yeah that's right! **

In season 2 their relationship is still as good as it was in season 1. In episode 13 when Kari dissapeared Gatomon tried to find her together with T.K.. They were all really scared for her, but Gatomon knew that Kari is going to be okay because she isn't weak. She is strong because of the family and friends she has.

Gatomon: Hikari isn't weak. Hikari is strong. But that's because she has friends who help her. ***

Holy ring

Holy ring is a golden ring which is worn by Digimon (just a several one, not all of them). The ring gives the Digimon (who wears it) the power which is related to it's holiness. But if Digimon loses his holiness it also loses his Holy ring. Gatomon wears it's holy ring on her tail. That's why she also mention it as tail ring. This ring gives Gatomon great power. She is more powerfull. With the ring she is so strong as champion level, but without it she is strong just like the rookie level.

Gatomon loses her ring in the first episode of season 2. She was running away from Unimon (who was possesed by dark ring). Gennai returns the holy ring in the last episode of Digimon 2 and explains them that he used the holy ring for the DNA evolution.

Gennai: The Holy Ring was used to control the power of darkness in the Digimon Kaiser's fortness. It was left behind and I used it for the Jogress evolution.*

And also Salamon has a holy ring around his neck.
