Rose glances over towards the ones who were talking about how to get down off the plateau as she says, "I'm am not jumping off the cliff, I'm walking." She then turns around and heads down into the cave as Joker then says, "I agree, though I think it would be safer as well. We don't know if the same rules for you hybrids apply here in the Digital World as they would in the Pokemon world, plus it would give me time to explain a few things to Toni to catch her up to what we have discovered about the digimon and the world they are from." Kiki, Firis, and Sarah nod as they also start making their way down the cave path down towards the entrance of the plateau. Technically the only ones who actually know that Joker isn't human, are the ones he had granted wishes, and that Jester somehow knows who Joker is, and that she lied about her knowing Joker, along with the fact that both Joker and Jester have a history with the two who caused the commotion at the contest building. As the group heads down the cave path, Joker walks with Toni and says, "I think the first thing you should know, is that Digimon are perverts..." Firamon and Reppamon glance up towards Joker with a bit of confusion on what he meant by that, and Kiki, Firis, and Rose's digimon all seemed to glare at him for that comment as Joker then says, "By perverts, I mean the system on evolving them is a bit perverted..." He glances over towards the digimon who were looking towards him with either confusion or glaring at him as he then continues and says, "So far the only way we have discovered on how to evolve them is by breeding with them. Breeding with them is the only way to evolve them to their next stage, from Fresh Stage to Champion Stage... I assume its the same for other stages as well, but we don't know if there are other ways to evolve them or if breeding is the only way."<br/><br/>As they were now about half way down the cavern path, a light could be seen glowing from within Mike's, Joker's, Derek's, Sarah's, and Toni's pockets or at least the ones who had challenged the Gym of Courage as Joker takes the badge case he had out of his pocket and opened it as the Courage symbol on the badge suddenly seemed to change and transform into the same symbol on the back of Kiki's cellphone as her phone beeped. Kiki checking her phone noticing a message appearing on her phone as she reads the message out loud, "Ultimate Stage now available? I can down digivolve my digimon to the ultimate stage without breeding." Joker grins as he says, "Fascinating... Was it a delayed reaction or was it responding to what I was talking about?" He walks over to Kiki and glances over her shoulder towards her phone as he says, "So it seems by what I've seen, it seems the gym badges we obtained has transformed into the Crest of Courage allowing Kiki access to the ultimate stage of her digimon without her having to breed with them." He then points towards Kiki's phone and asks, "May I?" Kiki glances up towards Joker as he talks a little confused, but thinks she understands what he was talking about, when he asked to see her phone she nods and hands the phone over to him as he looks through the phone and says, "Interesting, though her digimon are only in the Rookie Stage, it has already updated her phone in letting her know that in order to digivolve her digimon from Champion to Ultimate she can either breed with them or use the Crest of Courage in order to digivolve them." He then hands the phone back to Kiki as he opens his own phone to see if anything had changed within it as he noticed something did change as he says, "Fascinating... Everyone that has a digimon at the Champion stage may want to check their phones as it will now tell you what type of crest is required for you to digivolve your digimon to the Ultimate Stage without breeding. For me I need the Crest of Light to digivolve mine to the next stage or I can just breed them."<br/><br/>Kiki realizing something when Joker mentioned what Crest he needed as she glances over towards him and says, "If that is the case and if what your saying is true, then that means each of the Gyms that you and the others would be facing has a Badge that is also a Crest of someone here..." Joker then responds and says, "That is true, but at least now we know what each of our symbols mean, so in order for me to be able to digivolve my digimon to the ultimate stage without breeding I would need the Badge of Light... And the others would need the badge of the same symbol they each possess... It also seems like the Crests are universal, or at least, as long as one of us are around or near the person who requires the Crest to digivolve their digimon." Kiki nods as she then says, "That seems to be the case, so that means you and the others who are collecting badges would need to collect the Badge of Love, Friendship, Knowledge, Sincerity, Kindness, Light, Hope, Purity, and Destiny." Joker then nods and says, "It seems so, do you know what order we will be getting them?" Kiki thinks for a moment and then says, "Yes, if we continue our adventure we will be getting them in this order, including the one we already received: Courage, Kindness, Sincerity, Knowledge, Purity, Friendship, Light, Love, Hope, and Destiny." Joker then looks at his phone and then at the others as they reach the bottom of the cave path and says, "So it seems like Breeding is the easiest way to digivolve our digimon to the Ultimate stage, while it will take most of us a while to receive our Crest." He then glances over towards Toni noticing that she would be the last to receive her Crest, if she chose to wait instead of breeding. Noticing they were at the bottom of the cave and leaving the entrance of the Plateau he then glances over towards Toni and says, "Well, it seems there are other ways of digivolving our digimon, its just Breeding is the easiest way to evolve them." He smiles with a small laugh.<br/><br/>Firis, Sarah, and Rose was listing to Joker and Kiki the entire time and when they noticed and realized the Badges were the Crests needed in order to digivolve their Digimon from Champion to Ultimate without breeding Rose then says, "Seems like the system really wants us to breed with our digimon more so than dealing with the other systems." She glares at her own phone, but she was more or less frustrated with how the system seems to work, either they can wait to receive their Crest to digivolve their digimon from Champion to Ultimate which would take awhile to achieve or they can just go with the breeding mechanic to evolve them and skip the whole waiting thing. Firis and Sarah didn't seem to mind having to choose between breeding or waiting for their Crest as Sarah notices something and then asks, "I wonder if that would mean we would have to breed with our digimon each time they reached the champion stage or if they would be able to evolve into the ultimate stage any time they reach the champion stage?" Joker looks over towards Sarah curiously ask he asks, "What do you mean by that?" Sarah then reveals an option in her phone that was actually there in everyone's phone as she shows him an option to De-digivolve their digimon as Joker thinks for a moment and says, "This is very interesting and fascinating... With that option it practically means we can de-evolve our digimon to their previous stages if we desire, or evolve them to higher stages."<br/><br/>He thinks for a moment and then says, "As for your question, that is a good question, and only experimenting would answer that question... As far as we knew the digimon could only evolve, but with this discovery, we have discovered they can de-evolve into their previous stages... But it seems like that option is locked for now... I wonder if that would mean it would become unlocked at a certain stage or if we reach their highest stage... I guess we'll just have to wait and find out and continue to experiment to figure everything out." Sarah blinks a bit listening to Joker as he seemed to be analyzing the situation as he talks and then explains that the option to de-evolve their digimon was locked for the time being and speculated that it would unlock during a certain event or when their digimon reached their highest stage, but entirely what Joker was doing was theorizing. Rose then says, "If and I mean if we get to that point, I wonder the same thing, or if we have the crest it would bypass that situation... Another question would be, would we need to breed with our digimon at every stage each time they reach that stage, or is breeding with them a one time thing after the first time we evolve them to the next stage." Joker then says, "As I said before, we won't know until we reach that juncture, we'll just have to experiment when we reach that point." He then glances around as he looks towards the direction they would be heading was heading towards a Jungle area as he says, "So it seems like we'll be heading towards a Jungle."<br/><br/>He then glances over towards Toni as he says, "Back to what I was saying, Spirits as far as we know are Digimon forms we can take as it seems Spirits are for the Digi-Destined, which is who we are. For what reason, we don't know, its possible we are apart of some form of prophecy or something to save the world or something... Though I have noticed there have been digimon appearing every now and then as they attempt to attack us for no reason..." He then takes his phone and says, "My spirit seems to be called the Legendary Spirit of Ice, which also seems to be a Human Hybrid, though I think that's more of a metaphor for being a humanoid, as my digimon form doesn't look human, it looms more like a teddy bear made of snow and ice." He then thinks for a moment and says, "I know this is a lot more to take in, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask." He continues to walk with Toni and the group as they make their way towards what appears to be a jungle off in the distance, but they seem to have to pass through what appears to be more plateau area with Power Lines scattered around the area, but not a single one attached to one another, or if they were attached to one another they didn't really lead any where and seemed to be there by random coincidence.
