Suddenly a large ripple effect unnoticed rushes over the entirety of the Akota Region, while not only was it unnoticed, but it seemed to be rewriting everyone's memories of what pokemon they had seen throughout their adventures in the Akota Region, replacing them with new pokemon, making them believe these pokemon were the original pokemon that existed in each area of the Region. Even the pokemon that each trainer had caught within their respective regions and routes, were replaced with the new starters and pokemon within each route that they would have caught if those pokemon were within the area originally. During Mike's battle with the Gym Leader, though the Gym Leaders pokemon were the same, Mike's pokemon had seemed to transform into a different pokemon, that replaced his previous pokemon, including his starter pokemon, while also at the same time rewriting his memory to that of him using the new pokemon, instead of the old ones while erasing the old from his memories. It wasn't just Mike though every trainer was experiencing this, through out the entire Akota Region. Including the Digi-Destined, and their digimon's memories were even replaced and given memories of the new pokemon and erasing the memories of the old.<br/><br/>Firis Listens to Marks opinion on how the two must feel as Firis thinks for a moment and says, "That is true, but if your trying to compare our hybrid secrecy to whatever Joker's secret is, I feel like it's two different things. Something about his mysterious feeling he gives off feels different compared to our secrecy of us being Hybrids... Not sure how to explain it. It just feels like his entire existence is a mystery." When he apologizes she smiles softly and shakes her head as she says, "No it's fine, as to weather we're fine, I'm doing good, probably will head back to the room and get some rest, but I think the others will be fine as well. We have a long day tomorrow, so I'm probably going to hit the bed early to get plenty of rest. Bye!" She smiles as she heads waves to him and then heads towards the girls room, enters it, and heads to bed.<br/><br/>Joker takes the water and takes a drink as he listens to what Lauren had to say as he says, "I knew there was something more to you when I saw, you in the field in your pokemon form, but wasn't sure what it was, by your story it makes more sense now." He then thinks for a moment and then says, "If you ever want to ask me more questions, just come to me and ask, or if you ever want to talk, I'm all ears." By the time the ripple effect had hit the two of them, Joker seemed to glance around for a second as if looking for something, his eyes narrowed as he then shrugs and asks, "Have you ever felt like something has changed, even if you can't remember what the change was?" He wasn't sure why, but he felt like his memory had been altered, some how, he felt the same way during their time in the Digital World, but at first he thought it was nothing more than coincidence, but after feeling it a second time he was sure something was going on in the world, but wasn't sure what it was. It was unnatural, and him being attuned to magic and science, and from another world and dimension he could feel something was off, but wasn't sure what. Since his and everyone's memories were altered it felt like nothing more than a forgotten memory that had been erased and never to be remembered.<br/><br/>(Noticed Rattata had a move it couldn't have learned, so changed it to something else. Also felt like 4 pokemon for the first gym was a little too much, so removed one pokemon from the gym list.)<br/><br/>Shadow grins as he notices Mike's Venipede grab his pokemon and uses Rollout as Shadow says, "Kid this is a battle there is always going to be a trap somewhere within the battle, speaking of which. Rattata! Use Torment!" After the first hit on Rattata with Rollout, Rattata goes into a rage as it now prevented Venipede from using the same move twice. As Shadow then grin as he notices Rattata was close to its limits and says, "Rattata, use Quick Attack!" Rattata quickly rushes towards Venipede as it seemed to be going all out for the battle.
