John Sayers

 is one of the Chosen. His Digimon partner is Veemon and he becomes the de facto leader of the group despite Val Breckenridge's annoyance and dislike of that idea. He is the bearer of the Crest of Courage.

Redemption High School
In May 2007, John attended Redemption High School and his sophomore year was coming to a close. He was drawn to an empty classroom by a song he kept hearing. He and six others were drawn there and were transported to the Digital World.

The Digital World
John was transported to the Digital World where he met his Digimon partner Veemon in ancient ruins. He was freaked out by what had all happened, but he eventually came to accept Veemon because he trusted him instantly. John was reunited with the other six and their Digimon partners and were attacked by a rogue Minotaurumon.

Veemon
Veemon and John share a close bond due to Veemon being create specifically for John to be John's partner Digimon. They share a bond that all humans and their Digimon partners share. Veemon can draw power from John to get stronger and protect him. Without John, Veemon cannot digivolve any further than the Champion level. With John, he can be more powerful. The true power of the human-Digimon bond is not yet fully understood but it could be potentially powerful.

Val Breckenridge
John and Val do not see things eye to eye at all. They are mostly hostile and argue with each other all of the time. Karin has to referee and break the two up when they get into one of their fights. John and Val don't seem to want to settle their differences and become friends and allies in their battle to save the Digital World.
