Story
Three years after the events of Invizimals: Shadow Zone, Kenichi's closest colleagues are continuing their own research. Professor Alex Michaels is continuing Invizimal research in Antarctica, following a tip from Kenichi of signs of Invizimal life being in Antarctica. Jazmin Nayar has become an archaeologist and is exploring ancient ruins across Europe and has retired from Invizimal research.
The player mysteriously gets a knock at their house late at night. When they answer the door, the stranger knocking left and laid a package at their doorstep. Inside the package is a diary. Throughout the story, the player is tasked with rebuilding the diary's pages, with the diary having belonged to Kenichi, and its pages containing details of Kenichi's endeavors throughout the past 3 years.
After convincing Jazmin to resume finding Invizimals, while she was exploring ruins in Athens, Jazmin identifies Kenichi on a mural in one of the ruins, indicating that not only is Kenichi still alive, but he has also travelled through time and altered history. After the player helps Professor Michaels in finding Invizimal lifeforms in Antarctica, Michaels confirms that Kenichi must have visited Antarctica at some point.
With suspicions of Kenichi still being alive, Jazmin and Professor Michaels go to Kenichi's old apartment in Kyoto, Japan to see if he is there. Although he is not present, a stranger has already gotten into Kenichi's department and is rummaging through his documents. After initially scaring Jazmin, it's revealed that the stranger in Kenichi's apartment is Professor Scott Dawson, Bob Dawson's son that no one had ever seen before. They inquire about his father Bob Dawson. Scott revealed that, after Kenichi entered the portal to the Invizimal world, his father became despondent and secluded ever since, refusing to talk to anyone and living reclusively on an island in Scotland, not even allowing Scott to talk to him. Scott eventually found Kenichi's diary and confirms that he gave the player Kenichi's diary due to the player's close relationship with him. While exploring Kenichi's research data, they find one of Kenichi's most significant discoveries: two Invizimals are capable of fighting together as a tag team in combat.
While exploring Kenichi's apartment, they find a secret downstairs area that is guarded by a robotic Invizimal Kenichi placed there. After defeating the Kabuto Robo Kenichi placed in his apartment, the trio find the downstairs area, where an enormous vault is found. Inside this vault is the rumored shadow gate, a portal that Kenichi constructed that freely allows him to travel to the Invizimal world. However, a specific plant-based Invizimal named Audrey needs to be found in order to activate the shadow gate. Professor Michaels promptly travels to Thailand, where Audrey can supposedly be found. After traversing various jungles, Michaels and the player eventually find and capture an Audrey, and bring it back to Kenichi's apartment in Kyoto. Once the player clears the cave of the guardians that Kenichi placed there, Michaels places Audrey down near the shadow gate, and the shadow gate activates. The player volunteers to go through the shadow gate and enters The Wave.
