Lana

Lana’s ears perked up as Bob began to speak about battles.
“Battles! The staple of any Pokémon!”
She paused for a short second as she began to think. She couldn’t even remember any battles she was in.
“Huh... Actually, I don’t even remember ever being in a real battle before... I know I have fighting experience, but I can’t remember a single one! There’s a lot I can’t remember actually... Almost like a bunch of my memories are suppressed In the back of my mind for some reason...”
She simply smiled and shrugged.
“Oh well! No use thinking about it! If it was important I’m sure I’d remember it! haha!”

"So you have amnesia?"
Bob thought it was more than just amnesia but he kept to himself.

Sir Benedict Cucumberpatch

After weeks of sleeping, Benedict finally woke up in his room, “Ah....Josh, I finally conquered the dream realm.” Benedict said before rolling out of bed and into his slippers. Josh was already up and had the morning tea ready. “Ah....very good.” Benedict said before picking up the morning tea off of Josh’s tray and going down the stairs towards the dining room. Josh, as usual, pulled out Benedict’s seat before handing him the morning file report. “Ah.....the man with the awful hair....is in a coma, next.” Benedict said before flipping to the next file, “Ah....meat is in the pound....I’ll save this one for later.” Benedict said as he folded up Lana’s report, before stuffing it in his jacket pocket. Benedict stopped as he flipped to the Wilfred file, “Champion.....ah....Wilfred is finally becoming a winner.” Benedict said before pulling out his device to check on Wilfred....”Oh dear.” Benedict said as he gazed upon the abomination that was what used to be Wilfred.
Wilfred was now a....Numemon



“Ah....the greatest always fall.” Benedict said in utter disappointment, “Ah....your name is now.....awful, for you are awful.” Benedict then quickly hid his device, Wilfred.....why, all of those good times, all that raw power, thrown away for....this. “Ah....Josh, these are dark times indeed.” Benedict said before sitting there, staring at the wallpaper as he sipped his tea. Can Benedict even leave the house now? After all he bragged to “Them” countless times about Wilfred, and now he’s gone, he’ll never be able to show his face in HQ again.
But then, Benedict remembered the most essential life lesson to learn, “Ah....Josh, let us....explore outside, we must find a technology expert....after all.....people will do anything with the right price or firearm...indeed.” Benedict said as he put on his top hat, and walked out the door.

Lana

Lana scratched her chin for a minute thinking carefully.
“I guess it could be amnesia... OH! I GOT IT! When Benedict was dragging me down the stairs, I hit my head a lot! Maybe hitting my head on the stairs so many times made me lose my memory! I mean I don’t remember if that’s the reason I can’t remember, so it could be!”
Lana smiled at how much of a genius she was.

Time passed almost hellishly slowly. Lyle Walt, as it turned out, hadn’t actually died, which made the whole business of accusations somewhat pointless. No one had killed him. They claimed that his coma was caused by how long he’d spent in the Digital World. Hotaru hadn’t gone back since.

Somehow, whatever vile, cursed, creature took her here had gotten her signed up for some middling Tokyo high school. Maybe she was being punished for something that she’d done in a past life. She slid into the box of “weird, loner transfer student”, and while people somewhat left her alone, it wasn’t as if she was being outright ignored like back home, before Takemi-senpai mistook her for a ghost and became her only friend for a whole year. There was probably still bullying going on, but at least they weren’t targeting her. There wasn’t anything she could do about it either way.

Lady had decided to stay in the Digital World, and part of Hotaru couldn’t blame her, considering how poorly she’d reacted to waking up in Tokyo. They sent each other messages, and Hotaru sent some to Yang as well. The worry of Lady ending up with Eden Syndrome hung over Hotaru’s head, but other than a message sent early in the week, telling Lady to be mindful of it, she hadn’t brought it up.

As time went on, she spent less and less time in her empty apartment, and more and more time staring at maps of the various districts of Tokyo, looking for things to do, looking for places to go to study. Most importantly, she’d found a pharmacy that would fill her meds. That day, while she was at the pharmacy, the recently evolved Lekismon alerted her to several new things happening in the Digital World, such as groups recruiting new members, although those didn’t sound like your typical MMO Guilds.

“I’m not joining a gang, Shouko-chan,” Hotaru said, turning her phone onto silent as she entered the subway station. Shouko’s text showed up as word bubbles.

“What about the Training Center?” She said. “That Under-place sounded really scary. If we end up having to go there, then, um…, I-I want to be strong, so I can….” The rest of whatever she wanted to say never showed up, but her sprite turned pink as the word bubbles popped up. Hotaru’s face softened, and she typed up a reply.

“Okay, once I get home, we can check it out, but we won’t be fighting alone, I hope.” She hopped that they’d be able to rely on Yang and Lady in a fight too, or at least Yang.

After an uneventful subway ride back to her apartment, during which Hotaru sent messages to Yang and Lady, telling them of her plans, she hooked up her device to the VR headset, and entered the Digital World.

Upon her arrival, Shouko bounded up to her and leapt into her arms, giggling and chattering excitedly about this and that, before practically dragging Hotaru off in the direction of the Training Center marked on their map.

As Tenshi and Darild would sit and converse between themselves, they would see someone gazing upon some display. Was she slurping at the thought?

"..."

While her body was blocking a good fraction of the display, one could tell it said '3-person-serving-'. What kind of food item it was was anyone's guess. Curry Rice? Omelette Rice? Mapo Doufu? Spaghetti? Ice cream of some kind? It could be anything.

(Note: Should you engage, pick a food item of your choice)

"Here we are, everyone."

And so all would prepare to alight, as Lana's cage was carried once again. Here they were, at Nakano Broadway.

As they walked, they would pass by Tenshi and Darild.

"Hey Yuuko!"

Whoever this Yuuko was, she didn't respond.

The lift was taken to the Fourth floor, where they would be lead into large, wooden doors, and in it - the intended destination. At long last, Lana would be released from her cage to take in the sights of an organized office zone.

Well, almost organized.

"Before we begin, Ms Allen, would you like some coffee? Got my specialty right here."

Lana was finally released from her tiny prison. As soon as the door was opened, she leapt out of the cage in delight.
“Finally! I can use my legs again!”
Lana looked around the office. She had definitely seen messier rooms. Suddenly, her stomach began to growl. She walked over to Ami as her stomach continued to growl.
“Do you have anything to eat here? I haven’t eaten in like... forever!”
In reality she ate around 6 hours ago.

Tom & Jerry

I was lying on the couch, watching the TV as usual for a house cat like me while Jerry was in the mouse hole with the Digivice. I don't have a clue what both of them are doing in there but I don't care. Jerry went inside the Digital World a couple of times to hang out with Keramon but I stayed in here, lazing around the apartment and occasionally getting some grub from the fridge though it's almost empty thanks to Jerry's big appetite. We sometimes went outside to steal from food stands and almost got caught by animal control and thanks to our experience in chasing each other around for so long, we managed to escape. I pressed the remote control button, changing the channel multiple times until I spotted Jerry walking to the door and attempted to reach for the doorknob, jumping multiple times trying to grab it.

I chuckled smugly at the sight before going back to find new channels on the TV. Jerry stink-eyed me and threw the Digivice at my face, knocking my right between the eyes! I shook my head and stomped my way towards him, grabbing the Digivice planning to swing it back at Jerry's face until I remembered the 'promise'. I am a man of my word so instead of KILLING Jerry to end my suffering right here and right now. I opened the door while glaring at him, tossing the Digivice back to his hands and he smiled back to me before skipping through the door. He turned around and beckoned me to follow. Why not? We need to hoard some food anyway, not like a bunch of bipedal animals can get jobs in this place.​

Yang Xiao Long & Yangaling
(Cyberspace EDEN)

"Hello?"

Yang had been feeling worried for the Lady, whom she and Hotaru had met weeks back at the mailboxes. As she explored the vast reaches of the cyberspace, she had been looking all over for her whilst thinking about where she could've gone; after all, she hadn't seen much of her too much as of late, ever since Bob the Pikachu was admitted to the police as a would-be murderer. She hadn't seen her within the digital world as well; it had gotten to the point where like with Blake, she would have to take matters into her own hands and look out for her, especially when the Gardevoir already wasn't in a well state to her. And as with Blake, she was sure if nothing was done about her, thinngs would only spiral from there, but this time, from the looks of it, the spiraling was already in session. It wasn’t until just moments ago that she had finally had it with the person’s situation. No wonder why she was here.

Then, Yang received a message on her Digivice. So she pulled it out from her pocket and accessed the “messages” app. Hotaru, whom she shared messages and even hung out with once, was inviting her over to train at a training facility. This all seemed a good idea, as she would get to further toughen Yangalang, her pet Agumo—sorry, Greymon whom she has had for weeks now, and perhaps sharpen her own skills a little further. Then she remembered; she still hadn’t seen the Pale Lady for a while now, and trying to focus on two things at once right now would be a disastrous juggling act. So, she declined her request over text, albeit reluctantly, reasoning that she's looking out for the Pale Lady.

"Pale Lady, where are ya?"

Yang cried out her name—or rather nick name—once again, in the midst of the digital world. No response, as always. Then Yangalang, who has been trailing along with the Huntress-in-Searching, turned his head towards her, dejected, and asked,

"Yang, are you still sure about this?"

Yang shrugged.

"Yeah, why?"

"I don't know...maybe she just likes it here, or perhaps she's probably lost in Kowloon... I mean, don't you think we may never find her in time?"

- - - - -
​

A distant wind. A young girl dragging a red wagon with her through the tall blades of grass. Vast trees surrounding her and a toddler laying asleep within the wagon. Weak breaths from a frail, stumbling body. Crickets and critters.

Little Yang had been walking on for hours. Even when her body started to ache, and Ruby, who hadn’t even spoken her first word at the time, had gone to sleep, she pressed on in the ominous, foggy woods in search of clues about their mother's whereabouts. Then, she discovered an abandoned wooden building she swore she saw in that photograph back at the house. So she walked on towards the building, when she saw red eyes staring back at the two. Right away, she realized what she and Ruby had ran into.

Grimm.

- - - - -​

"Don't be silly, 'Langs..."

Despite Yang's hopeful, cheerful words, she was actually feeling down afterwards at the thought her Agumon bringing up the terrible prospect of never seeing the Gardevoir again. It was starting to remind her of her two mothers, Raven and Summer, both of whom had disappeared while she was young, and already had her Greymon unintentionally made her bring up bad memories. But she didn’t want to look that way towards him, so she continued speaking the way she was, breaking a sudden pause.

"And yeah, you may be right. But y'know, you can never be too sure. Life is just full of surprises, right?"

"I guess... Like I'd never guessed that you, of all humans, would ever pick me up, and that's great! But this, this isn't a good surprise."

"And that's why we're about to look for her in Kowloon; if we can't find her in the open here, we might as well explore the dark web."

"Well, if you say so..."

And so, Yang and Yangalang would soon enter Kowloon...

Our trio would find, in the middle of Kowloon, a poorly-made wooden(?) building with a crudely-made sign that read 'Sistermon Sisters Training Centre'. It was doubtful that this place even had a roof!

Well, not that Kowloon had rain.

As they would enter it, they would hear voices.

"Geez, that's quite the backstory... ahaha..."

"Where have I heard those names before?"
"Well, if you can't remember it, it probably isn't important."

"Still, I'm not only surprised that the Instructors are Digimon - but there are many other kinds of Digimon too? I always thought all Digimon were just like Agumon and Gabumon! You two are totes adorbs... but you're don't exactly look tough... you sure I'll get my effort's worth of training?"

"Ah! You may say that now, but you haven't seen our ever-intimidating lackeys- Blanc what happened to the job we listed?"

"No one responded~."

"What do you mean no one?"

This was when the trio would walk in and see.

"Welcome, welcome, one and all, to the Sistermon Sisters Training- hey, you're from that group! Man, I haven't seen this much of a coincidence since ten minutes ago."

"It's OK, I don't bite anymore~!"

"Do they even recognise us from before?"

"So uh... are these the ever-intimidating lackeys you're talking about?"

A lady who seemed to be these two girls' first customers looks towards our trio.

"Yeah, I remembered to get some good quality pet food. Here you go," Ami says, "well, Kyoko's coffee has a surprising amount of protein to fill your belly, but I don't think you can drink that."

Sayo-Nara PolikShadowbliss @DetectiveAgency


As Benedict walked towards his destination, still on the streets of Ikebukuro, his top-notch shoes tapping upon concrete and tar, he would cross paths with someone who was descending down some stairs.

"It isn't too easy to forget the fiasco from a few weeks back. That includes you and the alleged drug dealer."

Some type of lackey figure follows behind the big guy.

"Ryuji? Who's that?"

"Someone you missed. Let's keep it that way."

As fate would have it, this was the area where Benedict had previously attempted to acquire Lana's flesh.

"F*** me silly, Chapter 2 is already out?" Red mumbled on his own.
Call that fourth WallBreaking hahah. Yeah, like the Hacking Skill, WallBreak. Haha. Growmon looks at Red in confusion.
"Nevermind that... For a friend of yours, you say?" Red continued. "And naaahh, I don't really know anyone here."
"Yeah, we only know Lyl--"
"We knew someone." Red suddenly cuts off Growmon near the end of his sentence.
"Red..." Growmon muttered. "Yeah."
Red and Growmon heard Mirei say that doing this errand would benefit the both of them. But how, they wondered.
"Looks like we have a quest then!" Red said to Growmon, looking at him while smiling.
Growmon exhales embers through his nostrils in response.
"Yeah!"

Suddenly, Red's face lights up as if he had just come up with an idea.
"Mirei!" He called out.
"Hm?"

"What if you come shopping with us?!" Red asked while Mirei is about to hand them a list.
"Eeehhhhhh???" Growmon reacted as his jaws drop.

Happening upon the ramshackle business first among the trio, Lady and Lian both entered without noticing Yang or Hotaru trailing behind them. Unintentionally eavesdropping on the conversation before being noticed, the Gardevoir cracked an impressed smirk. "Yes, I recognize your hearts," she answered, quizzically stroking her chin, "But are you shapeshifters, or can Digimon evolution truly be so radical, I wonder?" she thought out loud as her focus turned to her own Numemon, "Curiouser and curiouser..."

But as the pink-haired girl spoke, Lady appeared quick to take offense to her brassy demeanour. "You intend to taunt me, human?" the Gardevoir growled back; psychic energy gathering at her fingertips. But with her eyebrows furrowed and eyes narrowed, Lady quickly noticed the girl gazing right past her. In a lapse of judgement, she spun around, and her heart sank at who she saw. "Yang! Hotaru!" she breathed their names in shock.

"I believe I will be on standby for now, a call away if you need anything," Mirei replies with a smile, "All instructions and items are present there. This is a very important errand. Take this as evidence that Mikagura Mirei sent you - I've already paid for the items."

The little list was as follows:

Mao Shan Wang Durians (10) - The seller is located in Akihabara, he is located right next to the drug store.
Casu Marzu (1 block) - The seller is located in Asakusa.
Prime Pollock Roe - Contact me when you're ready.

"If it relieves you... these are merely the harder-to-acquire materials that require pre-preparation. The end result will be a lot more balanced than what you see."

As Tom & Jerry were on their long trek that somehow got them ending up in Asakusa, they - Jerry in particular - would stumble upon a whiff of cheese. It had a strange, exotic smell, pungent yet fragrant, rotten yet fresh...

"Well, I think you know the answer to that one..." the black-kobluked one said, gesturing towards the trio's partners, "but since we go by different names now, I guess I'll reintroduce. I'm Sistermon Noir."

"Sistermon Blanc~!"

"Hmmm...." Noir squints and looks at Lady's Numemon. "Based on your situation, you've come to the right place for training. She'll get her petals back in no time!"

As Lady intimidates the frumpy woman, her little animalistic friends - Digimon, apparently - pop in to protect her.

"Don't hurt Nokia!"

"She didn't mean that in a bad way!"

Red nodded in agreement to Mirei declining his invitation, while Growmon grinned widely at the back. But at least she smiled, Red thought. That should be enough for now.
"Very important, huh?" Red replied to Mirei. "Alrighty then!"
And with a smile, he enthusiastically accepted her request.
"But what even are these, Purple Lady?" Growmon asked. "And how do we get to these locations?"

"Hmm... Durian, huh? Like the fruit?" Red questioned.

"Cazu-- Casu Marzu?"
"Yeah, I don't know what that is, bud."

Mirei cheered them up, as they were starting to look confused while they looked at the list.
"Yeah... Growmon is more concerned as to how me and Red are going to these places."

I followed Jerry with my hands on my fur pockets taking a good look at these areas I'm passing by until the mouse ordered me to stop by holding his hand out to me with an open palm. I almost stepped on him. He started sniffing the air after throwing the Digivice at me and I almost dropped the doohickey because of how sudden Jerry tossed it. He'd usually float towards the smell but the laws of this world forbid that so he just walked towards the source of the scent until we finally reached wherever that smell was coming from.​

"Uh, coffee?" He stammered a bit. He had heard of coffee, saw humans drink it on occasion but he had never before tasted it. "I've never tasted coffee before!" He smiled sheepishly.

"She's getting along well with the new Agency Pet," Kyoko says, striking conversation with "Bob". "Well Ms Allen, here's my specialty coffee..."

Something was weird with it. The coffee had its own aura, as if it were alive - it wasn't a good aura, either.

"Not used to it? Then your first time will be quite the marvel. Today's flavour is seaweed and red bean paste, my specialty. But now that we have you cozied up... I'd like to ask a few questions... for a start - where do you live?"

"The Mapo Doufu at the Chinese Restaurant is some good stuff," Ami converses with Lana as they leave the office and head down to the first floor, "or would you like to try something else?"

During this, Lana might see the same person that Tenshi and Darild were seeing.

As Tenshi and Darild would sit and converse between themselves, they would see someone gazing upon some display. Was she slurping at the thought?

While her body was blocking a good fraction of the display, one could tell it said '3-person-serving-'. What kind of food item it was was anyone's guess. Curry Rice? Omelette Rice? Mapo Doufu? Spaghetti? Ice cream of some kind? It could be anything.
