New York City

**New York City** (ニューヨーク, *Nyūyōku*) is a city in the State of New York, USA.

## History

On August 3 1999, the skies all over the Real World, including New York were striped with lines of the land of the Digital World. At the same time Digimon started showing up in different locations all over the world. In New York, a Gorimon was seen. Later, people in New York watched the battle between the Chosen Children and Apoclymon. With Apoclymon's defeat, the skies above New York and the rest of the world returned to normal.

On March 4 2000, high school students at a night school in New York found Diablomon's digiegg at 21:05 on the Net. They then witnessed the online battle against Diablomon through a computer. During that battle the digimon infiltrates the U.S. network and thus infects the electricity all over New York City. With Diablomon's defeat, everything returned to normal.

In the summer of 2002, Yagami Hikari and Takaishi Takeru visited Tachikawa Mimi in New York. While Mimi was emailing Daisuke with pictures from the holiday, Hikari sensed a "crying Digimon" nearby. At that moment, Mimi's Digivice started beeping as she was surrounded by a small gust of wind and vanished into thin air. Elsewhere in the City, Chocomon (now in the form of Wendimon) appeared before a boy named Wallace, and prepared to attack him. Gummymon (in the form of Terriermon) tried to defend Wallace, but his attacks failed. While trying to figure out what happened to Mimi, Hikari sensed the Digimon again, and she and Takeru went to the site of the fight between Gummymon and Chocomon. As they arrived, they witnessed Wallace attempting to convince Chocomon to stop. Hikari identified Chocomon as the "crying Digimon" as he disappeared. Takeru tried to call Wallace, but he ran away with Gummymon. Hikari then sensed that Taichi is also in trouble, and Takeru theorized that Wallace might know something about it. Patamon went to follow Wallace, and eavesdropped on a payphone call that he made, in which he says he is headed for Summer Memory in Colorado. Hikari then sends an e-mail to Daisuke asking for his and the others' help as they head to Summer Memory as well.

On December 24 2002, Dark Towers began appearing all over the world, one of them by the Statue of Liberty in New York. On December 25 at 2AM Mimi sneaked out of her parent's car with Palmon as they were fleeing the city, and set up lights on a street so that Motomiya Daisuke, V-mon and Michael's plane could land. As the children talked at a park, a copy of Gennai, Benjamin, arrived to assist. At the Rockefeller Center, Sam, another American Chosen Child, ran into a problem when a Jyureimon he was leading to the Digital Gate went ballistic as a large Christmas tree lit up. Since Sam's Digimon couldn't hold him back, he called for backup. When Mimi received his message, Benjamin released the light of Qinglongmon using Daisuke's D-3, while Mimi's parents nearly ran down two police officer's as they frantically searched for their daughter. When reaching the site, they tried to subdue the Jyureimon without much success. Then other Chosen Children arrived and with their help, they managed to stop Jyureimon. Mimi's parents later recognized Lilimon in the sky and followed her to the park where eventually Daisuke sent all the wild Digimon back to the Digital World.

On July 2010, Motomiya Daisuke, Ichijōji Ken, Hida Iori and their partner Digimon visited a ramen restaurant in New York City, having traveled there by taking advantage of the Digital Gates. Daisuke received a phone call from Ishida Yamato, who called from Japan, and recruited the three to perform background checks on Menoa Bellucci and Imura Kyōtarō. Daisuke, Ken, and Iori visited Liberica University but didn't find any helpful information. Miyako took a Digital Gate from Spain to join them and they decided to infiltrate Menoa's office directly. They found that Kyotaro's hard drive was virtually empty, with evidence that there had once been data on Eosmon on it that has since been erased and that there were no records at all of anyone by the name of "Imura Kyotaro". They later called Yamato and reported their discoveries. A short while later, Eosmons began emerging from Chosen Children's phones and computers all over the world, including in New York City, where one closed in on a girl and her YukimiBotamon. Daisuke's team engaged the Eosmons in the city, until Taichi's team managed to defeat Menoa.
