Junes was a shopping centre that was, well, unusual. For starters, a good deal of it was open-air, especially the food court. And that is where Yosuke ended up dragging Souji, Ikuto and Emerald today. And possibly Chie, if she was in the mood to turn up. "Welcome to Junes, you can't find a better deal on the latest crazes anywhere else in Inaba!" Yosuke laughed, as he walked along. "I'd take you guys out for steak, but we kinda already ate earlier, and, well, dinner's coming up. But if you insist..." "Nah, that's fine, Yosuke." He looked around. "Never thought a small town like Inaba would have a shopping mall like this." "Hell, I never expected one at all. In Pokearth, there tends to be, what, one shopping mall for each region?" "Still, some of the locals aren't happy about Junes... The smaller stores are starting to going out of business." "And it's like I'm a board for people to throw darts at, since my dad's the manager. The recent murders haven't made things any better." "Murders?" He raised an eyebrow. "I think I heard something about that earlier... What was it again?" From Yosuke's digivice, she explained, "There's been a series of serial murders lately, all of the victims were hung up on telephone poles... And they were all women, too." "Ugh, that's creepy. Who would do something like that?" "The same person who killed Saki-senpai..." Beat. "Oh. Oh God. He killed someone you knew? I'm so sorry." "No, it's fine... I've come to terms with that..." "With a little help from Souji." He chuckled. "Speaking of which... Dude, Souji, why didn't you tell me you were a Tamer?!" "Well, I didn't know YOU were one too, and I wasn't sure I could trust you with that kind of secret." "I... I guess that's alright. Probably wouldn't have changed much anyway, I guess."

And from nowhere... @ @ "YOSUKE!" That female voice would be sure to send chills down the guy's spine. "Where's that DVD you borrowed from me?!"

"OH, (BEEP)! IT'S CHIE! HIDE ME!" He panicked, looking around... "Pfft, no way, pal. I'm not getting on the bad side of a girl who can hit as hard as Chika." "Likewise." "Oooh, Yosuke's in trouble again~" "Ugh, AGAIN, Yosuke...?"

Before long, someone stopped directly behind Yosuke. "...alright; where is it, Yosuke?"

He froze, and turned around. Very slowly. "Uh... Hey, Chie. Um... I think..." He then realised, as he took a DVD case out of his jacket... "Ah, yeah, I was carrying this the whole time..." Pleasebeintactpleasebeintactpleasebeintact-When he opened it... The disk was fine, it didn't even have cracks in it. "Holy crap, you've been carrying it the whole time and it's intact?!" "That's... Impressive." "... Oh." He handed the case to Chie... And fainted on the spot. They looked on, completely bewildered.

"...huh. What do you know." Chie blinked; she had been ready to give Yosuke the old what-for because of the DVD being damaged, but... it was somehow fine. With a small shrug, Chie carefully hid the DVD within her jacket, before glancing at the group. "So, what's up?"

"Ikuto and Emerald came over to Inaba to visit, they were gonna talk to me and Yosuke about something..." He decided to try and wake Yosuke up. "Nice to meet you, Satonaka-san." He smiled. "Funny, I didn't think a friend of Souji and Yosuke's would be a trainer. I'm Ikuto Noguchi." "And I'm Emerald, conqueror of the Hoenn Battle Frontier!" He grinned.

With a smile, Chie gave the two a nod. "Nice to meet you guys. I'm sure you already know, but my name's Chie Satonaka." After that, she folded her arms. "So, what were you going to talk to Souji and Yosuke about?"

"Uh..." He woke up, and was helped to his feet by Souji. "Basically... We've got a small group of mid-teen tamers like us, and I've decided to take charge, since we're gonna be going up against the Dark Masters soon. I need to talk to you guys about any issues and stuff." "Fair enough. You are the only one among us who can get his partner to Mega, after all..." "Heh, not for long, though. Before coming here, we got involved in a fight in Sydney, and Keith got both his partners up to Ultimate." "Really? Sweet! Oh, yeah... Chie, we're gonna be heading over to the Damons for dinner. You wanna come? Sayuri's cooking is really good, apparently!"

"...hrm... I dunno, guys..." Chie murmured. "I volunteered to help Yukiko over at the inn today, so I don't think I'll be able to join you guys."

"I guess maybe another time, then?" He then blinked. "Hey... Didn't you guys say the Amagi Inn was one of Inaba's highlights?" "Yep. It's historic, and then there's the indoor hot springs..." "HOT SPRINGS?!" They exclaimed excitedly. "Guys, we're not going to visit the inn anytime soon, not with all this crap going on..."

"Yeah; I'd rather not have Yukiko be tangled into this mess, when she has nothing to do with it." Chie murmured, folding her arms.

"...oh, yeah, I almost forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me, Ikuto." Chie nodded... "WA-TA!" And she promptly aimed a kick right at Yosuke's... um... jewels. [dice=6][rand=79054078757897468369680356735069869235163373635731049659350882]

[dice=6] He promptly doubled over in pain. " Ow..." "Okay..." He looked at Souji. "Um... I don't know you very well. How far can you get your partner?" "Champion. But there is something that has been plaguing my partner recently... His identity crisis." He was muttering something about his own name... "Izanagi...? As in, the creator god?" "Oh, my... Izanagimon!" "Who?" "Old stories that Frigimon used to tell me... About a quad of deity Digimon known as the Shinto Four. Its leader was Izanagimon, but... A terrible tragedy tore the group apart, and ultimately destroyed them." Izanagimon...? Is that who I was in a previous life...?[rand=2888004414271563374671483249403540668478815350681518874096381478012]

"...really, now..." Chie mused, folding her arms. "...sorry; I'm not as into Digimon as Souji and Yosuke, so bear with me if I don't follow."

"Ah, yes... We never really introduced, did we, Chie? I'm Izanagi, a Kotemon, Souji's Digimon partner." "And I'm Jiraiya the Floramon, Yosuke's partner! Hee, I'd shake your hand, but... This isn't the best place. I'd like to get out of this cramped Digivice, though." She chuckled. "And I'm Falcomon, Ikuto's partner!" "Funny how Yosuke gets partnered to a girl..." "Yeah, kinda ironic." "Heh..." He looked at Chie. "How good would you say you are at being a trainer at the moment?"

"...um... like I literally began training Pokémon yesterday?" Chie shrugged. "I'm not that good, really... and yet somehow, I've gotten two challenges all in the same day."

"Heh, some trainers are simply naturals." "She is, trust me. With a little help from Steven, her Hitmonlee severely weakened a BlackRapidmon - an Ultimate!" "SERIOUSLY?!" "Holy crap, that's awesome! Not surprising, though, I mean, when you can kick damn hard..."

"Hey, I probably just got lucky, alright?" Chie sighed. "I'm pretty sure that Tomoe wouldn't have done that much damage if it weren't for... what did he call it? Its type weaknesses?" Then, Chie folded her arms. "Steven seems like the kind of guy who'd think to exploit weak spots a whole lot, anyways..."
