Prologue

Yugi ran as fast as he could, his tri-coloured hair spattered with rain as he tried to get away from the battle, away from the strange creatures trying to capture him, away from Yami who had saved him, giving him the task to find Ryou and Bakura.

Even now he still had one of them following him. It looked like a yellow mouse with a thunderbolt shaped tail, red cheeks and black tipped narrow triangle ears. The creature was currently shooting out electricity at him and he couldn't see where he was going.

"LOOK OUT" two voices shouted at he ran towards a multi-coloured sphere.

The cries were too late as the small tri-coloured hair boy ran straight through it.

"YUGI!" the voices cried again, but was too late as the strange creature followed him.

"What do we do now?" the smaller white hair asked as a taller version of him tried to think.

"RYOU, BAKURA RUN" someone screamed from behind them.

Turning, they saw Yami running towards them, being chased by other creatures. The first was a small, blue, dog-like Pokémon. Its legs and torso were coloured black. Its tail was blue and it had a yellow collar. There were rounded bumps on the backs of its forepaws. It also had a black "mask" and red eyes. It was also the only one running on two legs.

The second was a small mammalian creature with white fur, a bushy tail that had a cream-coloured tip, and a furry collar that is also cream-coloured. It had brown eyes, big ears, and pink paw pads. It also had circular pink paw pads on the undersides of its feet.

The last was a small, fox-like Pokémon that has a black pelt, brown, pupil-less eyes and three black tails. It also had what looks like black bangs across its forehead as well as locks. It had a cream underbelly, and black feet with dark-silver coloured paw pads.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE, RUN!" Yami screamed at them as they began to run away from the weird creatures.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Bakura screamed as they didn't notice themselves running towards the multi-coloured lights that Yugi ran into moments before.

"I DON'T KNOW, BUT THE BLACK ONE BREATHES FIRE" Yami yelled, narrowly avoiding a flame being shot at him.

None of them noticed as they suddenly ran through the portal with the strange creatures still on their tails, they also didn't notice as they started to get shorter and grow fur of varying colours, or when the creatures disappeared.

FLASH! A Flash of lightning hit an unknown area. Young and Old alike creatures were running from the area. However a loud scream ripped through the forest as all the creatures tried to find a dry place to stay out of the storm.

None of the creatures noticed as a lightning strike hit the ground in front of an ageing tree or when in the light, three figures collapsed.

"...Urrgh..."

The sea was calm, the sun's light reflecting off its smooth surface. The storm ceased many days ago, but not before leaving someone stranded on a nearby beach.

"Where... Where am I?"

He feebly raised his head, only to rest it again as dizziness overcame him. All he could see was sand, rocks, and water.

"...I can't... Drifting off..."

He fainted once again. A crocodile-like creature raced in from the sea, laughing. Once it noticed the unconscious figure, it ran to his side. "Hey, are you okay?" it—no, he—asked. "Oh, snap! Ardor or Folium better get here and fast!"
