" Joe!" called Sora; "Can you climb down?"
"I think so... why did I have to land in a tree?" whined Joe whom was stuck on top of a large tree.
" Be careful Joe!" called out Mimi. Joe began to climb his way down from the tree and when he reached the lowest branch jumped to the ground.
" Good to see you girls again, where's the others?" Asked Joe.
" Haven't seen them I'm afraid." Sighed Sora.
" Umm, excuse me but, does anyone know where we are?" asked Mimi. Suddenly the trio began think about the problem again.
" What I'd like to know is where are our Digimon?" Said Joe. "And where do we go from here? This appears to be just another big forest, but are we still in the digi-world?"
" Good question." Replied Sora. " Well which way do we go?"
" Well wen I was up in the tree I saw a stream a ways that way, I think we should head there seeing as the may be towns or villages on it." Said Joe.
" Works for me!" said Mimi in an all too pippy voice.
" Sounds good!" agreed Sora.
"Then let's go!" said Joe. The trio began to trek through the deep woods towards what they hoped was a chance at finding someone.
Officer Jenny sat at her desk and started up her computer. She had just talked to a lost little boy, but he had a wild imagination, saying he had lost his friend Patamon, She asked what kind of Pokemon it was so that if it turned up at the Pokecenter she could be notified. But it turned out that the boy had known nothing about pokemon and seemed not to know at all where he was, even the citie's name! Jenny was obviously worried and wondered if the poor boy had amnesia. She decided to call up his name on the computer's database. She looked at the notepad on which she had scribbled down his name and the name of his friends whom he was supposed to be traveling with. "Takaru Takaishi" she said to herself, "Name sounds Japanese." The computer buzzed as its memory was scanned for any leads on the name. "Name not found" said the computer in a bland tone. Jenny frowned, this was getting odd. She checked all of the similar names that came up but each one was not him. "Yamato Ishida" tried Jenny to find the boys Half-Brother. " Zero Results" said the computer. Jenny began to search all the other names, but they all came up blank.
T.k sat on a couch in the staff room of the police station. He was missing Matt and Patamon and he was all alone. He had talked to the policewoman but she did not know anything about Patamon or the digi-world. T.k was lost in a strange world and nobody but him knew where he had come from. He felt like crying but could not. The nice police woman had went to try to reach his parents, But deep down T.k knew they couldn't be found, not in this world. The Policewoman came back into the staff room.
"Well the computer can't find your name anywhere, are you sure that this is your name?" asked Jenny. T.k nodded sullenly. Jenny crouched down next to the couch and handed T.k a cup of hot chocolate. " T.k, this is Dr. Wagner, he's here to help you find your parents." A middle-aged man dressed in a dark suit came into the room carrying a doctor's bag.
" Hello Takaru." Said the man in a pleasant voice.
" I'm going to be right back so I'll let you talk to Dr. Wagner for a little while, ok?" said Jenny.
" Ok" said T.k in a sad voice.
" So Takaru, you tell me your lost?" said Dr. Wagner as he knelt down to get at eye level with T.k. "Tell me did you happen to hit your head?" Dr. Wagner noticed the red lump on T.k's head. Dr. Wagner took out some antiseptics and bandages and patched up the cut on T.k's head.
" Yes, I-I think I hit it on a tree branch." Said T.k. T.k had decided to leave out the part about the portal seeing how Officer Jenny had no Idea about the Digi-world or Patamon, they probably thought he was crazy. T.k sighed, he wished Matt was here. He could help and fix everything. But I didn't see Matt go through the portal, only Patamon.
Dr. Wagner finished bandaging his head. He then went into his bag and pulled out a small flashlight. He shinned it into each one of T.k's eyes. " Do you remember what happened before you hit your head?" asked Dr. Wagner as he pulled out one of those ear scope things and checked his ears.
"No I'm not sure." said T.k after a while of thought. He knew it was wrong to lie, but how could he ever explain the digi-world.
" Hmm there doesn't seem to be any blood or swelling so that rules out any serious injury's." Dr. Wagner said to himself. "Well aside from a few bumps and scratches I'd say your fit as a fiddle." Said Dr. Wagner as he stood up. " But what worries me is your memory, are you sure you don't remember at all?" " Officer Jenny said you mentioned a place called the "digi-world" and a pokemon called a Patamon, do you remember any of these?"
" No, I-I think it must have been a dream or something." Said T.k sullenly. This seemed like the best thing to say right about now.
" Well I'll be back in a moment, do you need anything?" said Dr. Wagner.
" Um, No I'm fine, but thanks anyway." Replied T.k. Dr. Wagner left the room to go and talk with Officer Jenny. T.k looked around the small staff room; he noticed a small coffee table with a few magazines on it. T.k didn't read much but from what he knew he could get along. He began to flip through them: One read "Pokemon times" another read " Modern Breeders monthly" a third read "Pokemon Training field guide". T.k could not understand what all this talk about pokemon was about. Suddenly T.k heard Dr. Wagner's voice coming from the next room. T.k crept to the door to listen.
"- But I found that he has had nothing wrong with him."
" I checked for his name and all the names of his friends he said he was traveling with, but they all came up blank." Replied Jenny; " Do you think he imagined it?"
" Well actually I do have theory, There is a rare condition of memory loss but I think it is a long shot."
T.k didn't like the sound of this, he knew he was telling the truth but they thought it was amnesia.
" Well I'd like to run some more test but we need his parents or Guardian's signature to do so."
" But yet we can't find any. Mabey he is an orphan, but he seemed like he's been taken care of for a long time." said Jenny: " Well he'll have to stay at the Pokecenter for tonight, mabey tomorrow we'll get something."
" I agree, we'll just have to wait." Said Dr. Wagner, "I'll be by tomorrow, see you then."
" Goodbye Doctor." said Jenny. Officer Jenny started to go back to the staff room.
" Well I guess for tonight you'll have to stay at the Pokecenter until morning, Is that going o be ok?" said Jenny, " There you can get some food and get some rest."
Food and rest seemed like a good idea to T.k. " Sure, but what's a Pokecenter?"
" Boy you really don't know about Pokemon do you?" asked Jenny.
T.k just sadly lowered his head.
"Well come on, you'll like it there, and lots of Trainers go there so sometimes there are contests and Battles." Said Jenny pleasantly, trying to cheer up T.k.
T.k got up and followed Jenny out side and they began to walk to Pokecenter a few blocks away.
Tai stared at the face of his digi-vice. A group of flashing dots had appeared on it. Tai had used this ounce before to locate T.k in the amusement park. Mabey it would work now. Tai dashed towards the direction of the blip's. The woods were deep around him but the signal remained strong, and in a short time Tai had came across Mimi, Sora, and Joe.
" Hey you guys!" called Tai; " You miss me?"
" Tai!" called every one at ounce,
" Glad to see your all right Tai." said Joe with a sigh of relief.
" We were worried about you!" said Mimi.
" Tai, have you seen anybody else?" asked Sora.
" No but I think we can find them on our digi-vices, that's how I found you guys." Replied Tai as he pulled out his digi-vice.
" But there's no signal here." Said Mimi . " We must be out of range of anyone else." Said Joe.
" Well it's starting to get late we should try to make camp." Said Sora as She looked up at the darkening sky. " It's just like back on earth." said Sora as She looked out onto the sunset.
" Yeah, but where are we now?" said Tai. " Mabey we are back on earth, it happened to you Tai mabey it happened to us!" said Mimi, excitement in her voice.
" What I would like to know is where are our Digi-mon, are they lost to?" said Joe sullenly. " I'm actually starting to miss Gomamon's wise cracks."
" Yeah your right, I miss Agumon a lot, I hope he's not in any trouble." sighed Tai
" And I'm really missing Palamon." Said Mimi, her previous excitement dying.
" Well all that we can do right now is to wait till morning and resume looking for them." Said Joe.
" I agree , we cant help them when we can't even find our way." Said Sora
The group found a small clearing and settled down for the night. It was cold and lonely without the digi-mon. Tai sat on first watch by the fire. He wished Agumon was here to keep him company. A few feet away Sora sat up. She got up and walked over to Tai and sat down next to him.
" Is it midnight already?" asked Tai sleepily. " No I just couldn't sleep." Said Sora as She hugged her knees to her chest. " You're worried about Agumon aren't you?" asked Sora.
" Me?, no Agumon can take care of himself. I'm worried about T.k and the others. I mean if we were all seperated, did T.k find Matt or Izzy, or Agumon, Patamon or any of the others?" replied Tai.
" You really do care for them don't you?" said Sora with a small smile.
" Yeah, I guess you could say that. For the past little while we've all been like family."
" Yeah I hope there ok too and-" Sora stood up suddenly, " Tai look over there!" Sora pointed over the crest of the hill they were on.
" Lights, It looks like a city..."
