For once, Netto and Rock give the intro to the game. Netto messes up, so Rock has to help him out. We then cut to home room at the school! And we start off with sad news - the class is going to lose a member! Dekao asks Netto if he knows who it'll be and, reluctantly, Netto says he does. Mariko-sensei asks Netto to the front of the class.

Netto then explains that they're moving because of Yuuichirou's job. And after a lot of sad dialogue, including Mariko-sensei getting choked up, we cut to after school. Everyone gathers in front of the old Hikari residence. Yuui thanks them for looking after Netto up 'til now. He then explains the plot. >_> After that, Haruka says a few things to everyone, then both leave for the car and let Netto say his goodbyes on his own.

Dekao says that no matter where Netto goes, they'll remain rivals. Yaito gets choked up. Mariko-sensei REMAINS choked up. The nameless kids cheer Netto on. Meiru gets choked up. And that, in turn, gets Netto all choked up. He wishes everyone well and the screen turns to black.

We then fade in on Netto's new room. Apparently they now reside in Central Town. Head downstairs and look at HOW MUCH COOLER his new house is! Seriously. Totally worth the move. They have a bathroom now! Talk to Haruka and Yuuichirou, then head on out of the house. Welcome to Central Town!

You even live by another chip shop! It's called Asuta Land. There's a Sub-Chip Dealer behind it selling:

Mini-Energy - 100z
Open Lock - 4000z
Enemy Search - 7000z

When you're ready to continue, head for the girl getting harassed by the rather large robotic dog. You'll plug-in (R Button, remember) and here we set up the generic, ever-present tutorial. If you've EVER played an EXE game, you know exactly what's happening here. After you save the day (already), Netto goes up to the girl and introduces himself. The girl seems really, really shy, though. She mumbles a thank you and scurries away. You can plug back into the dog later for 600z.

I'm sure you have to talk to everyone in town, too, to continue along. Yuui will send you an e-mail. You now get to go home and plug-in to Netto's computer! So go do it.

You may notice an e-mail Program right when you plug-in. Why you need one of those when you have your PET is anyone's guess at this point. So Netto's new homepage looks nice, eh? Head across it and into...

The green path is your guide here! The sign you encounter past the green navi is a map of the area! There's a purple sign leading into a yellow area - this is the Net Cafe! The blue Navi behind the counter offers the following Sub-Chips:

Full Energy - 1000z
Enemy Search - 7000z
Shinobi Dash - 500z

Head to the back of the Cafe and inspect the purple gate. It requires a {Reflect Met 1} chip to pass. Well, you should've racked up a good half dozen of those by now, so there's no problem! Later in the game, you can talk to the Net Cafe's master, buying a bunch of coffee in the process, to get a number of things, the best of which is the {Bug Stopper} Navi Customizer Part. Anyway, head on through that gate.

Oh wow, a NetDealer RIGHT there. His wares are:

HP Memory - 1000z, 2000z, 4000z, 8000z
Spread Gun 1 L - 600z
Recovery 30 * - 1000z
Senshahou 1 R - 2400z
Yoyo L - 4600z

Once again, follow the green path. You'll reach another map kiosk eventually, so take a look at it. Notice the single upper path? Lotta back alleys here too, huh? Continue your way forward and talk to the green navi in front of the purple gate. We need [Key Data] to unlock the gate. You need to talk to everyone in Central 1 and 2 to end the scenario. Plug-out for now and go to bed. It's been a very odd (and SHORT) first day in town.
