Don't own it, never will. By the way, this story only has the first 151 pokemon. I lost track after a while and it's just simpler this way. But perhaps I'll go on to Johto after this fic. I do like those pokemon. We shall see.

Also, you'll notice that I use the Japanese names for everyone but Joey and the Pokemon people. This is because it's easier this way. For me. ^_^; And btw, Bakura is Yami Bakura because I like him better. We'll just say he's taking over for a while. ^^

To be a Master

Chapter 1: Watch Out Below!

"Static, go!" The raven-haired trainer threw a pokeball onto the field.

"A Jolteon?" The other trainer said, surprised. Rei smirked.

"Static, Thunderbolt!" Jolteon attacked and the other trainer's Squirtle fainted.

"How can that be? You're a fire trainer, I thought you had all fire pokemon!" The other trainer exclaimed, throwing a fit. Rei smiled.

"You thought you could win if you had all water types to overtake my fire types. You're all strategy, no skill. Come back and see me once you get that fixed." Rei collected from the trainer the sum they had agreed to whoever won and walked away, Jolteon walking beside her.

"Okay guys, break time." She threw all her pokeballs into the air and her pokemon came out. She had settled by a stream to eat, and was now handing her pokemon their food. "Jolteon, you always surprise people." Rei laughed. "Thank God Makoto gave you to me; you're very useful on people like that." She scratched Jolteon behind the ears affectionately. "I wish Mako-chan was here." She sighed, then smiled around at her pokemon. They were her best friends and she was happy to be with them. Jolteon and Flareon finished eating and began to play.

"Behave, Static and Flame. I don't want attention drawn to us. I'm battled out." They pretended not to hear, and played as rambunctiously as usual. Rei rolled her eyes. "Soleil," she called to her Vulpix, "keep an eye on them please. I'm going for a walk. And…Firefall," her Ponyta looked up, "watch Torch. He looks like he wants to set something on fire." She gave her Charmeleon a stern look. "Ember, don't eat Firefall's food." She reprimanded her Arcanine, who was attempting to be sneaky.

Rei was just walking along, admiring the beautiful colors that the forest holds, when, unbeknownst to her, a portal opened above her head. Twelve figures fell out, one of which landed on top of her.

"What the hell? Get off me!" The figure got off and Rei sat up. She was very angry. "If you're going to climb around in trees, I suggest learning how to HANG ON first!" She yelled, looking around at…six, seven, eight people. Eight was quite a lot. "What in Heaven above, Earth beneath, and Hell below were you all doing in the trees?" She found the person who had fallen on her to be a little boy with very long hair.

"Thanks for breaking my fall." He said with a smile. He looked about ten.

"Glad I could help." She mumbled, still angry, but thinking the boy is adorable. All the others were rubbing sore spots from landing. "Sorry for yelling at you, kiddo." The boy smiled again.

"That's all right. I'd yell too if someone fell on me like that." He said. Rei decided she liked this little boy.

Suddenly, Rei was aware of tremendous noise as her pokemon charged in. They had heard her yelling and rushed to defend her from a potential threat.

"Chill, guys. It's okay." They calmed down a bit, but remained alert.

"What are those?" The newcomers asked, amazed and a little scared.

"You guys aren't from around here, are you?" Rei asked, astonished that someone could not know what pokemon were.

"No, not at all. We came from somewhere else. This guy named Pegasus tried to send us to this place called the Shadow Realm, and I guess it didn't work and he sent us here instead." A short guy with spiky hair said. Another guy, who looked the same as the spiky haired guy but taller, nodded.

"This must be a different dimension. Leave it to Pegasus to screw up so big."

"Hmm… I'm not sure about that other dimension stuff, but who are you all?" Rei asked.

"I'm Yugi Motou," The short spiky haired one started, "and this is Joey, Anzu, Yami, Bakura, Mai, and-"

"Them." The one named Joey interrupted with a dismissive wave of his hand. One of the "Them" glared at Joey.

"Thank you for the wonderful introduction, Chihuahua." Joey growled.

"I am not a Chihuahua!"

"Them" smirked.

"That's Seto and Mokuba Kaiba." Yugi finished.

"All right. Well, I'm assuming you don't have anywhere to stay, so… you'll have to come with me on my journey. At least until I can drop you off somewhere. We're far from a town, and without any pokemon you'll get eaten alive out here." Rei said. "Time to go, guys." She said to her pokemon, and returned them to their pokeballs. Then she sighed. She didn't like being around a lot of people, particularly ones she didn't know and who claimed to be from another dimension.

That's it for now. Hopefully it doesn't suck as bad. Please review!
