Lan's POV
"Mega Man!"
Those were the words that echoed around the field as I ran as fast and as hard as I could, looking for my Navi. Something had definitely been wrong this morning when I'd woken up to find my PET gone. I had been planning to e-mail my friends to tell them, but then I'd remembered that I couldn't without the terminal. My fellow crimefighter Yai might have one of the last remaining telephones in the world, but you can't say it doesn't come in handy.
For some estranged reason, I, following my gut as I always did, had been drawn to the fields to the west of DenTech City, which was weird because if it was anywhere it would be somewhere in the thriving monopolis that made up my hometown. That probably explained why I was running as fast as I could in the wrong direction, looking for something that probably wasn't there - because of my instinct.
I stopped running abruptly. There was nothing on the horizon, except that old oak my Navi had been strangely attracted to whenever he caught a good view of it from my PET stand. Oh, no... I left the thought hanging as a revelation dawned on me. The gut instinct to run to the fields, the fact that Mega had always looked in awe and admiration at it every time we passed...and the figure perched comfortably in the branches. The pieces of the puzzle were sliding together.
Mega Man was in the tree.
