"Hee, that's the spirit" Brad said, deciding to encourage this line of thought. "I reckon making someone grin about music is the way to go". If soneone didn't feel able to feel good about the way of music of life, what could they feel good about? A question that Brad was glad he didn't have to answer.
Brad paid attention as Gryz said what this 'Hokkaido' region was. "Ahh, right, so Hokkaido is ruled by a Japanese King?" he asked, hoping to confirm this line of thinking. Although he thought there was probably more to it than that, that he'd simply have to be there to fully understand it.
Gryz said that he wished to make the mercenary that wronged him pay. "Of course, I think you're entitled to such a thing" the Bearmon said. He thought that a good digimon like Gryz was fully entitled to a decent line of work, and what had happened with him and his partner seemed like a bit of an outrage. But still, where they were, there wasn't much they could do about it currently.
Eventually, the Trailmon slowed down, and announced over the loudspeaker that their next stop would be the Village of Beginnings. Brad prepared to disembark, looking at Tetsu and Gryz to see if they would be coming too.

"Japan is a strange country," Gryz began "...you see, there's an emperor, but he doesn't rule. He's more to just a symbol of he country. The true ruler of the country is this parliament and prime minister which chosen by the public. Does that makes sense?"
...Human politic is seriously not his forte, but seem he know more than the Bearmon near him. "Thankfully I'm sure Elecmon can help me to deal with paperwork about how to sue. He's the one who got the contract. I might also will go on ahead and say my farewells to my friends there. Hopefully they'll also find happiness."
Just when he thought to get out of the train when it stopped on their destnation, Tetsu's Digivice shone and soon his form enlarged into... yes, a bigger Bearmon.
"...Well, ain't this interesting," he commented, wagging his stub of a tail.
"Wow, Gryz, ya a Bearmon too?"
"Apprawrently so."
"...Puns? Goddangit."

Brad considered Gryz's words about this strange land. "Huh, so, an Emperor still rules, but, another source of power is the actual ruler?" he asked. "Hmm... that's really something I have much trouble understanding" he gave a smile though. "Ah well. I'm sure I'll eventually understand it. I'll especially try if one day I end up on Earth".
The Bearmon nodded at the sentiment of Elecmon helping him to find the proper paperwork to seek compensation. "Yes, that's good" Brad nodded, hoping this would result in justice for the two of them.
And just before the Trailmon arrived at their destination, Brad's eyes widened as Gryz suddenly digivolved. To Rookie no less. A smile broke out on the Bearmon's muzzle.
"Heh, you look awesome, Gryz!" he exclaimed, reaching up and patting the bigger Bearmon on the shoulder. While Brad was still identifiable by his t-shirt and his smaller size, he was kind of proud that Gryz evolved into the same species of digimon that he was. "Hee, your puns are funny" he giggled.

"Don'tcha worry, Brad.. I donnae geddit either," Tetsu commented. "Accept whadevah dey said I guess?"
"Beary apprawrciated," the Bearmon told his smaller, but older friend. Gryz fixed his hat, momentarily and nodded. "If it's pawsible, I'd like you to teach me some stuff, like self defense, or maybe anything that I should know it that made you uncomfortable."
Hmmm, Brad did said that he's a pacifist, although Tetsu shouldn't have known this... but eh, at least they're about to arrive there in the village of beginning. There, as expected, there are lot of baby digimons. Elecmon approached them not too long after they stepped in the village.
"Hello there, welco---huh? This scent... Gryz, is that ya?"
"Correct, sir," the Bearmon gave a salute at his former caretaker.
"That was quick! I never thought you'd get back here though... Are you here to say your goodbye?"
"Part of the reason... and..."
After hearing Gryz's explanation, Elecmon's already red fur grows redder from fury.
"...I see, so that's the case? I'll report this to Senior Jyureimon. He might be a bit out of it, but hearing this would definitely make him really angry. While waiting, what we can do for you?" Elecmon asked the party.

"Hmm..." Brad pondered about Tetsu's words. "I'm afraid words alone aren't enough to convince someone like me of the truth" the Bearmon said, smiling. "They also have to have some basis in fact. I loathe to distrust people so easily, but, there's a saying I heard once. "Words are Wind". Lies come so easily to the lips of everyone, even those that mean well. So for me to believe something as truth, I have to see evidence of it".
He realized this sentence may be a bit too harsh. "However, I see that you both are pleasant, good people that I happen to trust, so that's enough for me" he assured them. "If you told me something I didn't know, I'd be inclined to think it was true. So don't worry about that".
Gryz asked him to teach him methods of self defense? Brad smiled. "Of course I can teach you that" he said, nodding. "As soon as we have a safe setting I can teach you all that I know".
Which wasn't much, surprisingly. But Brad never really put that much effort into combat abilities other than self defense.
They entered the village, and almost immediately met the Elecmon that Gryz was talking about. Brad saw that he looked a bit different to Luke, in that he was a bit chubbier, lacked a scarf and didn't have that cocky pose that Luke seemed to inherit from his brother. But he was an Elecmon all the same.
The Elecmon asked what he could do for the party. Brad blinked a little, then saw something familiar in the Elecmon's eyes.
"...ohey" he said. "Sorry if this seems sudden, but, were you a Tsunomon here a year ago?" he asked. "Because, heh, I was too. You look kinda familiar". The scent was definitely that at least. Was this one of Brad's friends here in the village as he was growing to Rookie level while following a strict path of pacifism?

The Elecmon tilted his head. "Oh, um, sorry, don't think so. I mean, there are a lot of Tsunomon, and there are lot of Elecmons too... but all I can say I'm not a Tsunomon. I was a red Wanyamon myself. Hmmm... but if you need any sort of help to locate that Tsunomon, maybe I can help. There's not many Tsunomon a year ago afterall. Only about fifty or so that stayed here."
"What's wrong?" Gryz asked to Brad. "A friend?"
Meanwhile, Tetsu seem chatting about with another Elecmon who taught him something about taking care of baby DIgimon. The boy sat on his butt and start stroking a Digitama. From the look of it, it's a Digitama of a Punimon. The sight of his partner doing that made Gryz smile.
"...I'm glad that I'm partnered to him."

"Ah, okay then" Brad said, a little disappointed. Somehow he really wanted to see a certain Tsunomon again. Mainly because of the things he saw in the mountains. But that was a tale for another time. Besides, it wasn't anyone's fault present whether or not they were the Tsunomon in question.
But the Elecmon could help? "Oh? If it's not too much trouble, I would like to track one down if that was possible...?" he asked. "Although... the leads I have to go from probably won't lead to anything, but, I just want to at least try, you know?" he asked.
Gryz deduced what Brad was asking for. "Yeah... a friend" he said. Although he wished he had more leads to go from other than his own questionable memory.
Brad then turned to see Tetsu carefully taking care of a Punimon's egg. He smiled a little at Gryz's words. "Yes, he looks like a very kind human" he remarked.

"It'll be quite easy," Elecmon admitted. "As long as I know your birthyear, it shouldn't be too hard. Please wait here, I'll try checking the birth book. If you know when exactly he's born then it should be all great." The Elecmon immediately left to get the book. It's seem to be quite close enough for him to fetch and return again. He fiddled with the book a bit, looking for the right pages and whatnots.
Meanwhile, Gryz silently looked at Tetsu who now trying his best to do basic maintenance for the babies. He seem to struggle for a while, but it all ended up well. He nodded to Brad's comment. "...Aye, he's a beary kind boy... it makes me prefer to let him see the peaceful side of Digital World. Free from prejudice, free from chaos. I wanted to make him see just that. I don't know what will happened if he see the darker side... It... it honestly made me worried."
The appearance of Elecmon unfortunately cut off Gryz from his thought.
"Sorry for the wait! Let's see if we can find something in this... It's bundle of any Tsunomon that left this village in past ten years along with their date of birth and such. Go on ahead and tell me!"

Brad was delighted at the prospect that the births here in this settlement were recorded. He hoped that Elecmon would be able to find out if a Tsunomon was here a year earlier. "Er, I'm afraid I wouldn't know exactly when, since, well, my memories are a bit foggy" he admitted. "But approximately a year might help..." he then thought he might add a bit more. "Oh, yes, perhaps one that evolved to Gabumon afterward?" he added, hoping that may be a bigger hint.
As he was waiting, Brad listened to Gryz, agreeing with the bigger black bear's words. "Yes... admittedly I find it a shame that such places still exist in this world" he said. "But at the least something I've come to believe in has come true - don't go looking for trouble and you won't find it".
For that reason, Brad had avoided lawless places such as the Dark Area and the more rowdy spots of the Valley of Dragons.
Elecmon then returned with a list of details of all the Tsunomon that had been in the village in the past ten years. "Ah, excellent" Brad said, his little tail wiggling. "Now let's see..." he took a look at the details of some of the more recent ones. It was a bit harder than he thought, Tsunomon was a very common digimon after all. But, he narrowed it down to a few that he suspected might be the one he was looking for. He took note of their names and appearances, including those that didn't evolve to Rookie before leaving the village.
"Thank you for this" Brad said when he finished, handing the records back after he had copied them. He looked at Gryz. "So then. What shall we do next?" he asked.
