The Dokunemon seemed unaware entirely of the existential horror that he inflicted upon every soul in the vicinity simply by speaking. "Ooooh...Newd fwiends...Dat sounds weally stwange, Miss Amewie. Samples of the watew? Because it don't take a genius to see that the watew causes...stwangeness."
Did the Dokunemon know about the problem? The DemiDevimon just made a 'hmmm' noise. "...He's pretty right, though..."
Meanwhile...
The Albino Koemon frantically waved his hands! "Oh, uh, we weren't, actually! We just...thought that your partner was one of the 'mons that lived here--it was a mistake, honest!" Then the Pink Guilmon interjected with... "...What's a Kicktown? Is that a place? ...Can we actually go there? Aw man, that'd be the coolest..."
The Gray Palmon, the only person to pick up on what Otohime said before Kicktown... "Weird-ass research? That sounds kinda sketchy...What's the research about?" She did not know of how futile that question was, however.

Otohime calmed down. Seems that these kiddos had no intention of messing with her little buddy. "Good! Don't ya mess with my little bud! Kicktown aint a place ya wanna go to! There's world a hurt out there!" She crossed her arms and huffed, but her face was now a lot less hostile. Upon Palmon's question, Otohime began to think...and think....and think.. "Uuuuuuuh..." You could almost hear the gears in her head cranking away. Jiro helpfully stepped in. "A-a-a-ah! N-n-n-no worries! It's just harmless research into what causes the strange colourations that happen in this village! It's quite the strange thing to happen for outsiders, you see!

Of course, it wasn't just Dokunemon trying to inflict the worst kind of horrors onto Amelie the only issue the brunette had to face in order to take a proper sample from the strange water this place had.
No, of course it wasn't; now, she also had to deal with the insect digimon trying to play smartass, of all things! The teenager tried to sigh slowly, as if hiding the exasperation she felt a the moment. And resisting the urge to strangle that weird speech impediment out of the digimon.
"Yeah, but strangeness is a bit of a vague term, don't you think?" She explained as she finished the procedure. With any luck, she would be able to get some early results. The sooner those were gotten, the sooner Amy would be able to end her suffering.
What were Ryuko and Naoko doing at the moment? That was a good question. With any luck, they would be faring better than her...

"...Ooooh, it's not actually a place...I see, I see." The Guilmon nodded a few times. "...Well, don't kick anyone! Nobody wanted to insult anyone!" Meanwhile, Palmon looked at Jiro and nodded a few times. "Oh, we've been trying to figure that one out for a while. We're...not really well-equipped to find that out, but the leading theory is that someone keeps tainting the water with something."
If one were to look down, they'd find that the river that was now encircling the tree-complex-thing had a strange, reddish color. Crystal clear, still. But red. That much was certain now that they were closer.
"Cewtainwy. To ewabowate mowe, the wed watew's why evewyone hewe's all weird in colow. If you want sampwes, youw best bet's to go fuwthew up the steam--to the lake. Nooo one goes thewe, though..."
The procedure would reveal something, alright. There was -waste- in the water. Hazardous stuff. Likely from something dumped at the source of the water.
Perhaps someone should call the other girls back.

Otohime huffed and nodded. "Good, if there's no insults intended, then we can all be buds!"
Jiro, meanwhile, listened intently to Palmon's explanation. "Taint in the river...?" He looked down at the red water, and blinked. "...that looks suspect. Otohime, could you go get the others?" "Eh? Oh, sure!" With that, Otohime crawled down the trunk of the tree. "And you, Mr. or Ms. Palmon, could we go down and have a look?"
Having hopped off the trunk, Otohime ran back to the rest of the group. "Hey, guys, guys! Jiro discovered that the water around the tree is all red!"

One thing was for sure, the plot was... thickening. In tandem with Dokunemon's actually somewhat helpful words, Amelie's samples revealed that what had changed the water's color wasn't something harmless; quite the opposite, actually! But... how could waste product reach a secluded village in Cipher Jungle? Who could be behind such a nefarious plot? And most importantly, what would they gain from something like this?
"I see. Further up the stream, huh? That sounds interesting." If anything, that was enough cue for her to round up everyone else and discuss what they would do next.
"Naoko~! Ryuko~! I think I've got a lead regarding what's in the water!" Amy called out, even though one of those two girls wouldn't need to be called; Otohime was eager to share her discoveries —or Jiro's, rather—.
"Dokunemon over here told me that the possible main source of this filth is upstream, by the lake. We can check the tree first, then go further upstream to the lake. Also."
Unceremoniously, the brunette gave Otohime the testing equipment she was supposed to get from the get-go. "By the way, this is yours. Don't forget it for the next time!"
Guess they were just waiting for Naoko now. What'd be her thoughts on the matter?

The Palmon nodded twice. "Sure! ...But don't get it dirtier. That'd be awful. Also, it doesn't taste like anything if you're gonna ask about that! Good luck!"
"Fuwthew upstweam, yes. H-Hewwo, which one is this? Naoko or Wyuko?" Dokunemon glanced towards Otohime as she came running. They would soon enough be joined by Naoko and Titania. The two had come back with samples, indeed. "I heard Ryuko calling, did something happen to the water or was it always like that?" The girl inquired, before Dokunemon just...snapped!
"The watew's all wed like usual!"
The Kazemon let out an audible groan. "...Hey, so, pardon my French but what the actual fuck is wrong with his voice? And can we just get going before my ears get assaulted again?"
What did they do?

Otohime was stopped in her tracks when the Dokunemon spoke up. "Me? Yeah, I'm Ryuko, nice to meetcha!" She was a bit confused when the bug snapped. "Yeah, it's red, that ain't normal, we oughta take a look at it! Jiro's still at the tree to take a gander! Let's go!" The Dokunemon's voice didnt bother her at all, in fact, she seemed bewildered by Naoko's reaction. But, she just shrugged, and jogged back to the tree.
Jiro, for his part, was squatting by the water's edge, carefully sniffing at the water. He did not dare touch it, lest it made him blue or something. What's up with this red stuff, then?

While this situation and the Dokunemon's intention was nothing short of utterly infuriating, at least the group was making some good progress. The course of action was rather simple; head upstream and then catch whatever/whoever was messing with the water. Maybe it was a bit too late for some beings, but maybe the town could be saved somehow.
Luckily, the two girls returned in time, that resulting in a revulsed exclamation by Koko. "I have no idea, but that doesn't matter, at for now, I guess. We should just head upstream and get the samples Ayumi asked for. Once that's done, we can return home and... escape it"
Repeating the obvious was undue, so Amelie just began to walk in the signaled direction. With any luck, she and whoever decided to follow her would be able to find what was the cause behind this contamination. Maybe solve the whole issue altogether? That'd be nice.

Naoko and Titania both nodded and began a long trek upstream with the other two girls (and Jiro) in tow. It seemed the tamer/partner duo was in just as much a rush to get away from the marble Dokunemon as Amelie was.
Yet, for however long the trek had been, they had found that the source of the matter was an empty lake with...waste within it. Just waste that tainted the water. It was very unclear who or what could have left it there, but there was a degree of carelessness to this. From whoever had put that stuff there.
Naoko had immediately gone to get her samples, and assuming the other two girls did the same? "...Well, this should be the end of that. Let's just...get out of here before the Dokunemon makes me want to die even more."
Assuming no objections were raised? Naoko would open a Digiport that lead back to the library. And went through it. There was a tale to share with people, assumedly.
Oh, and the port would stay open for everyone else, too.
[That's all from me!]

All's well that ends well, more or less! Eventually, the group reached the lake upstream, and found themselves in the face of so much filth that it was surprising how the Digimon in the Village hadn't developed worse mutations that ones that they were currently displaying.
On second thought... she was glad. That Dokunemon was insufferable, and as Naoko had fittingly put it, it was a relief that they were done with this place and could finally go home. While cleaning this area would've been a noble goal in and of itself, whether that happened or not would depend on the Club's efforts. For now, Amy focused on doing her work; the samples were taken, the portal was open, and she was primed to exit this place, hopefully for good.
"I guess we were successful." She muttered, moments before crossing gateway. "I need a bath. Trekking in the jungle is worse than what I've thought."
The prospect managed to cheer her up, somewhat. Time to go back! [Exit]

Otohime had no idea what everyone's trouble with the Dokunemon was, she thought they were nice! What was less nice was all this filth! Sheesh! How can someone just dump all of this into a lake! "Man, who just dumps shit into a lake and makes people sick??" "Oh, you'd be surprised...this makes a lot of sense, though. I am glad nothing worse happened than colour mutation." "Eh, true. So, we done here now?" "I do think so." "Great! Let' go get some Melonpan!" Otohime didn't even question the Digiport, she just stepped through when she watched Nao do the same. Jiro was left behind, bewildered. Oof, his Tamer sure was a handful. Well, better not let her run around unsupervised in that place! With a deep breath, he followed.
