In a Different World

Author: Ok. This is my second Pokémon Yu-Gi-Oh x-over and I hope this one does a little better than my first.

Reminder: I do not own Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh. However, I do own two characters named Shika Nakamura and her little sister Kali Nakamura. Also…well, Atem will be in it with his own body, but he won't show up right away. Again, try and bear with me, please.

Chapter: 1

Pokémon World; Saffron City

Sabrina sat in her bedroom staring at the floor blankly. Her dream was bothering her and it surprised her that it was so vivid. She knew there was a boy who was obviously taller than her in her dream.

He had chestnut brown hair, pure blue eyes, and he was pale. He was handsome, she could tell but she wouldn't say he was drop dead gorgeous—she just wasn't that way for very many guys.

Sabrina sighed and rose to her feet. She changed into her short dress and knee high, heeled boots. She walked out of her bedroom. She headed straight for the kitchen to make herself some breakfast. Instead, she found her mother making breakfast.

Her mother was humming a tune that she had often sung as a lullaby before Sabrina discovered her powerful ESP. She looked at her daughter and smiled warmly. "Did you sleep ok?" She asked.

Sabrina shrugged and sighed, "I had a dream." She explained it—down to the last detail—to her mother and saw her reaction. "Mom?"

Mom had wide eyes. "You've never had that vivid of a dream before." She said. "Perhaps it was a vision?"

Sabrina shrugged as she sat down at the table. "I don't know." She muttered. "I just wish I knew what it meant."

Sabrina's Pokémon, Kadabra walked into the kitchen, obviously sensing Sabrina's worry and confusion. "Ka?" He asked.

Sabrina shook her head. "Don't worry." She replied.

Mom and Kadabra could tell that she was distracted by the thoughts of her dream.

Sabrina played her dream back in her mind, trying to make sense of it—if any—but didn't have much luck. She sighed and gave up. I have a gym to tend to. She thought. That's more important than any dream or vision.

Suddenly, there was a very loud explosion from outside. It shook everything, sending shivers down Sabrina's spine. Her father burst through the door and said, "Come quickly."

Mom and Sabrina followed him to the outside and they saw a large horde of Pokémon attacking the city. "What's going on?" Sabrina cried.

The Pokémon of Space, Palkia appeared and roared. He flew to Sabrina and her parents and blocked the attacks of the rampaging Pokémon.

"Palkia is helping us?" Sabrina breathed.

"Not us." Her father said. "You."

"Why me?" Demanded Sabrina. Her eyes ached. "It's not fair!"

Her father grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Life is never fair." He snapped. "Now listen to me. Palkia is here to take you someplace safe."

Sabrina wanted to argue but knew that it would get her nowhere fast. So instead, she nodded and her father released her shoulders.

Palkia opened a portal and a powerful wind began to draw things toward it.

Sabrina looked at her mother and father who were going to stay behind. As tears moistened her eyes, she made the biggest smile she could manage. "I love you." She said.

Her parents smiled warmly. "We love you too." They replied.

Sabrina stepped through the portal and it closed behind her.

Palkia flew off and Saffron City was destroyed. He needed 3 other people to save. Fortunately, he knew where they were located.

Pokémon World; Viridian City

Two girls were walking from the Viridian City Gym. They were obviously sisters—one was older than the other and taller too. They had deep, emerald green eyes and raven black hair. The older stopped abruptly. "What is that?" She muttered. "Kali, send out Lucario and see what he can pick up."

"Right, Shika." Kali replied, took out a red and white sphere—red on top and white on the bottom. She pressed the button on it and it expanded immediately. "Go! Lucario!"

In a flash of bright white light, Lucario came out of his pokéball. He closed his eyes, knelt down, and placed his paw on the ground. His aura scanned through the area and found something off. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Kali and let out grunts that she seemed to understand.

Kali nodded. "Obviously there are wild Pokémon on a rampage and heading towards Viridian City." She told her sister.

Shika held back the urge to roll her eyes. I know what he said, Kali. She thought bitterly. "Return Lucario." She ordered and her sister obeyed, returning Lucario to his rightful pokéball. "We need to find someplace to hide." She knelt down in front of her sister. After Kali got onto her back, she stood and ran off.

Suddenly—and out of nowhere—there was an explosion at the Viridian City Gym. Then a bunch of wild, rampaging Pokémon ran through the town.

Shika picked up her pace, but she tripped sending herself and her sister to the ground.

Palkia suddenly appeared and deflected the attacks from the berserk Pokémon. He roared and opened a swirling vortex.

Shika and Kali looked at each other. Shika stood as the wind rushed past her ears, making them numb. She took her sister's hand and held it tight. "I don't know where this thing goes," she said, "but something tells me it'll lead us to safety."

Kali nodded. "Wherever you go, I go too." She replied. She and her older sister jumped into the portal and it closed behind them.

Palkia flew off and Viridian City was destroyed. He needed one more—Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and he would be fairly hard to find, but not for long.

Pokémon World; Pallet Town

Ash sat outside, staring up at the sky with his best friend Pikachu sitting next to him. He began to wonder why his mother wanted to talk to him. Then he drifted off as to how and why Misty disappeared—it didn't make sense to him.

His mother, Mrs. Ketchum ran to him. "Ash!" She called.

He stood and Pikachu stood with him. "Hey mom." He replied.

Mrs. Ketchum panted slightly. "There's something I've been needing to tell you." She explained. "And I need you to listen carefully."

Ash nodded slowly.

Mrs. Ketchum took a deep breath and said, "Your father wasn't the man you think he was. He was a Trainer, yes, but he wasn't—"

An explosion in a distance cut her off. Then a horde of wild, berserk Pokémon came running in their direction.

Mrs. Ketchum grabbed her son and held him close as Palkia blocked the attacks. She looked up and gasped.

"Who's that Pokémon?" Asked Ash with horror in his voice.

Mrs. Ketchum looked at her son. "No time." She cried. Her eyes moistened. "Your father was—"

Palkia cut her off with a roar and opened a portal. He roared again.

"Wait!" Ash shouted as Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder. "What about my dad!"

Mrs. Ketchum shoved her son into the portal as he shouted to her and it closed. She closed her eyes. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "I should have told you long before this." She placed her hand over her heart and clutched her shirt. "I'm sorry I never told you about your father." Tears slid down her cheeks.

Pallet Town was destroyed as Palkia flew off. Tears flew from Palkia's eyes, feeling sorry for those who just lost their loved ones.

Yu-Gi-Oh World

Dream…Seto felt odd and he didn't feel normal. He looked around, but only saw darkness. He then began to run—not really knowing why, he only knew he had to run. He heard something coming after him but he didn't look over his shoulder to see what it was.

There was a silhouette of a girl, who looked about a year younger than him, appeared. She was distant and didn't seem like she was getting any closer.

Seto tripped over something and fell flat on his face. He got to his hands and knees and looked up. He was surprised to see that the girl was standing right in front of him, just staring blankly.

She was pale, with dark green hair that could be mistaken for black, cold, piercing, dark blue eyes, and high sharp cheekbones. She wore heeled boots reached up to her knees and a short dress. She looked to be a year younger than him.

Seto slowly rose to his feet and stared at her. "Who are you?" He asked.

The girl said nothing. She faded and the darkness came down onto Seto…End of Dream

Seto woke up to the sound of his alarm clock on his mobile phone. He opened his eyes and shut off his alarm and eventually crawled off the sofa in his office at Kaiba Corp. He hated pulling all-nighters and knew that it made him barely spend time with Mokuba. He groaned slightly and stretched. "Damn it." He muttered as he slowly strolled to his desk.

It was a little frustrating trying to work when you're a little distracted, and Seto was more than just a little distracted—he was a lot distracted because his dream, for whatever reason, was still vivid in his mind.

He leaned back in his computer chair, tilted his head back as he closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples with his first and second fingers. He began to play back his dream, trying to come up with a logical explanation for it but nothing made sense. "You know," he murmured to himself. "Screw it. I've got work to do." He straightened and worked on his project.

The girl's face was still fresh in his mind, distracting him again. She was pretty, Seto could tell but he wouldn't say she was gorgeous. Her cold, blank stare was what sent shivers down his spine.

He shook his head and tried to concentrate. He finally gave up and left his office, heading home to see his brother.

dragonchild247: Well, it was probably a bad start since several people are dead because of the rampaging Pokémon and Ash's father isn't quite what Ash knew him as. Review please. If possible, tell me what needs improvement and I'll try to improve it. I'm always open to other's opinions, unless yer going to be a total jerk about it.
