Hikarigaoka

Hikarigaoka, know in the dub, Highton View Terrace, is the former apartment complex of the DigiDestined.

One night in 1995, a Digi-Egg appears in the apartment where Taichi "Tai" Kamiya and Kari Kamiya live, and hatches into a Botamon. The following night a Parrotmon shows up causing a lot of damage, and fights Red Greymon. The fight is witnessed by Yamato "Matt" Ishida, Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, Sora Takenouchi, Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi, Joe Kido, and Mimi Tachikawa, who would later become DigiDestined, as well as many other children. After the fight, Greymon and Parrotmon go back to the Digital World. Digimon Adventure The damage of the battle is blamed on a terrorist bombing, causing many of the resident families to move away. The children, whose parents did not believe that they had seen monsters, eventually forgot the event or accepted that it must have been a dream.

On August 1, 1999, Myotismon and his army arrive in the real world through the gate at Hikarigaoka, in search of the eighth DigiDestined. Once the DigiDestined return from the Digital World, they ask Mr. Fujiyama to drop them off at Hikarigaoka. While they reminisce about living there in the past, they are attacked by a Mammothmon from Myotismon's army. As they watch Garudamon battle Mammothmon, the children remember the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon. Izzy suggests that the eighth child must have lived there at the time, as well.

Three years later, Hikarigaoka is the site of the new DigiDestined's battle against Daemon. When the DigiDestined realize he is too powerful an opponent, Ken uses his dark D-3 to open a gate to the World of Darkness, where they trap Daemon. The Dark Gate In an attempt to stop Oikawa's plan to go through the gate in Hikarigaoka to get to the Digital World, the older DigiDestined's Digimon try to seal the gate off. However, BlackWarGreymon ends up sacrificing himself and seals the gate with his own body. BlackWarGreymon's Destiny The next day, Oikawa gathers the children he had infected with Dark Spores at Hikarigaoka, where the DigiDestined confront him. Oikawa tries to open a gate to the Digital World, not knowing it was sealed off, but Myotismon, who resides within his body, senses this, and causes him to open a gate to another dimension. Oikawa and the Dark Spore children enter this gate, with the new DigiDestined pursuing them.
