Chapter 2: Reunion of old friends, meeting of new ones, start of new journey and a returning sinister power
A/N: Well, after getting 2 guest reviews (you know who you are if you see this). Next time please log in or at least get a FF account if you decide to put in a review so I can PM you my response to your review for either this fic or my other fic that I'm writing out. Either way, thank you and I'm glad you like it so far saying that I did well in writing out the first chapter, so I decided to write another chapter out. This chapter will depict Yugi visiting his old high school. He'll also meet Atem the pharaoh (a.k.a. Yami Yugi however you want to call him doesn't matter. Plus on a side note I swear to god looking at the similarities between Yugi and Atem that the pharaoh is Yugi's ancestor honestly) again this time in a new Millenium Puzzle. Also, I've decided on a pairing for Seto; I'll pair him with Kisara (whoever she is, if anyone can help me out on when she appeared in the series or manga that'd be great) where she'll be working for him/fighting alongside him in some battles/duels. Also I've got a new poll up which relates to one of my other fics in which I'm going to do a rewrite after I finish the current copy. Well enough of my babbling on with the crossover fic.

Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, plus other series and films introduced in this fic in any way shape or form. Otherwise with Pokemon, I wouldn't make Ash as dense as a Metagross, plus replace Misty with Leaf in Ash's traveling group through Kanto and Johto, and so on to try and make the Pokemon anime more interesting.
A young man with tri-color porcupine like hair named Yugi Moto was looking through his old high school in his old classroom reminiscing about the times with Joey, Tristan, Tea, the pharaoh Atem and others. One day however, little did he know that he would meet them all again along with new people. His outfit was still the same. However, he got taller and ended up developing muscles on his arms since his trip to Egypt on an archaelogical dig
"Man, being in my old classroom sure does bring back old memories with my friends Joey, Tristan, Tea, Atem and the others." Yugi said to himself. Just after he said that there was a knock on the door. Yugi opened it wondering who was that, he didn't find a person, but he found a package from Kaiba Corp. with a letter and another package from Marik Ishtar including his sister Ishizu and friend Odion plus their letter. All of a sudden, Yugi heard a familiar voice that said "You won't be alone in this new journey Yugi."
"Pharaoh is that you? Where are you?" Yugi asked happy to hear his voice again
"My new Millenium Puzzle is in the box that you just put down on the floor. It's also good to see you again Yugi" Atem replied. Yugi grabbed a small pocket knife, opened the said box and sure enough there was Atem's new Puzzle giving him tears of joy at the sight. Then, he opened the letter that Marik and three others wrote out.
Dear Yugi,
We've made a new Millenium Puzzle which contains the pharaoh's spirit. We talked about it and thought that he'd like to be with you again. Also, we've made new versions of the other Millenium items, like the Millenium Rod, Millenium necklace, Millenium Key, and so on. The only exception we made is the Millenium Ring since that spirit hates the pharaoh. I have no idea why honestly. Believe me, we don't understand it either. Don't worry, I promise not to put any of your friends under mind control using my Millenium Rod like I did when I was power crazy and hell bent on stealing the puzzle from you. Also, me and my brother Odion will be coming from Egypt with Ishizu and Shadi tagging along. Me and Odion are participating in the Pokemon Duel Monsters World Tournament as a tag team too so you'd better be on your A-Game if we go up against you! Hope to see you soon kid
Sincerely,
Marik, Ishizu, Shadi and Odion
After he read the letter from top to bottom Yugi made a mental note to himself to thank them whenever he meets them. After he put the letter away and put the Puzzle around his neck he opened the other package that arrived. In it was a new PokeDisk with 400 pokeballs on his disc made by Kaiba Corp. that enables duelists/trainers to use their Pokemon with Duel Monsters. He pulled out a holographic card that showed a hologram of Pegasus which said that Yugi was selected for the Pokemon Duel Monsters World Tournament slated to take place in his city this week. Afterwards it scanned Yugi and became his passport to enter the tournament. Soon after, he walked out of the classroom and the high school only to find several of his fans right outside the school.
"HEY IT'S YUGI!" One fan yelled
"Ohhh fuck." Yugi whispered as his face turned pale at the sight of fans looking at him
"GET HIM!" Everyone else shouted
"Not again, this has been happening ever since I won Battle City all those years ago!" Yugi said to himself as he ran for his life. As he was on the run the fans were shouting something along the lines of "WE LOVE YOU YUGI!" plus other things. He continued running until someone grabbed him by the collar of his shirt saying "Hold on there", and yanked him out of harm's way into an alley. Yugi, the unknown person and the others looked on to make sure the mob of duelists was still going in the same direction they believed Yugi to be going which luckily they were. This made everyone breath a sigh of relief.
"Wow, thanks for bailing me out of that mess." Yugi said relieved
"Not a problem. How often does that shit happen?" Ash asked curious about the incident that just happened
"Pretty frequently when I'm in public since I've won Battle City a few years ago. Let's just say they want to duel me for their cards." Yugi answered, then he took a minute to see who was it that he was speaking to. Upon realizing who it was Yugi went wide-eyed as he found himself face to face with Ash "Wait a minute! You're Ash Ketchum the champion of the six regions up to Kalos which includes the Orange Islands!"
"You're Yugi Moto the King of Games! I've heard about you winning at Duelist Kingdom and then in the Battle City finals!" Ash said in realization "It's nice to meet you for the first time."
"It's nice to meet you too Ash" Yugi replied shaking his hand. Just then, he noticed Leaf, Iris, Clemont and a Pikachu which is on Ash's shoulder "Who are they?"
"Oh that's Leaf, my best friend from childhood, we lived in the same town together up until we both turned 10 when she moved away. That's Iris from Unova, she's a Dragon type trainer/specialist. That's Clemont from Kalos, he's an inventor but let me tell you his inventions always blow up. Last but not least, this is Pikachu my best friend and my 1st pokemon." Ash answered introducing his friends for the first time "By the way, do you know the way to the Game Shop? Me and my friends want to get ourselves Duel Monsters cards for the tournament and we're lost."
"Yeah I do. In fact it's my home" Yugi said as he gestured to them to come on. As they were on their way over Ash's friends found him and the others after they finally got back from doing their own things. Croagunk was dragging a knocked out Brock alongside the group. Ash, Leaf, and the others who knew him and weren't with him at the time facepalmed at the sight. They would have to curb his habit of goddamn perverted flirting and set him up with a girl who truly likes him sometime soon in between a battle/duel.
"There you are, we thought we lost you in that crowd of duelists Ash!" Misty said relieved to see him in one piece and no harm done.
"Well, we were lost trying to find the Game Shop. Luckily we found Yugi here who was on the run from a group of duelists who are his fans." Ash replied as he looked at Brock with a grimace "By the way, is there someone who truly likes Brock in this damn world?"
"Back when you were competing in the Kanto Battle Frontier I do remember seeing Pike Queen Lucy having a blush on her face when she was looking at Brock as we were leaving." May said thoughtfully
"Hmm, I think you're right May. I do remember her looking at him with a blush that day too. I think we should set him up a blind date with her when we get the chance." Ash responded quietly agreeing with her making sure Brock didn't hear them. Meanwhile, Leaf returned her Venasaur considering the size of the building entrance in question is rather small picturing it. Yugi meanwhile decided to introduce himself to the rest of Ash's friends. The whole group had stars in their eyes coming face to face with the King of Games and some said they were his fans. Luckily, they knew better unlike the rest of the duelists here in Domino City. As our group got to the Game Shop Yugi opened the door to find 2 familiar faces in there talking to his grandfather. The 2 younger males named Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor turned to see their old friend looking at them with a happy look on his face.
"Well, well if it isn't da King of Games himself. It's good to see ya again Yuge." Joey said giving him a manly hug along with Tristan following suit.
"Hey Yugi." Tristan continued also giving him a manly hug. Just then, the 2 including noticed Ash and a group of trainers behind Yugi.
"Hold da phone, ya never told us you were with the world's top ranked Pokemon trainer and the champion of all 6 regions up to Kalos including da Orange Islands named Ash Ketchum Yugi!" Joey realized after he looked at the whole group of trainers and coordinators from left to right
"Not to mention, May and Dawn the top coordinators of Hoenn and Sinnoh along with Serena, the Kalos Queen too!" Tristan finished also looking at them
"Actually, I only just met Ash and his friends who arrived here today for the Pokemon Duel Monsters World Tournament Tristan." Yugi replied pointing to the said trainers "They're also here to get themselves some Duel Monsters cards for their Poke Disks. Not to mention, Ash here bailed me out of a potentially bad situation when I was being chased by a bunch of duelists that were waiting outside of the high school."
"It's nice to meet all of you. I'm Solomon, Yugi's grandfather and owner of this game shop. How can I help all of you today?" Solomon asked introducing himself to the group of trainers. They returned it by reciprocating what Solomon did shaking his hand.
"We're here to get ourselves some Duel Monsters cards for the tournament. What do you have here?" Iris asked
"Well, you won't be disappointed, I have cards galore to start building your decks, have a look for yourselves." Solomon replied as showed them around his shop. To say they were impressed with the amount of cards he had was an understatement. He must've gotten himself prepared for the insane asylum of trainers slated to arrive in the city today and then come by his game shop. So, they went and bought some booster packs to start building their decks for their arsenal, especially Leaf and Ash. They each could play up to 400 duel monsters so along with some trap and magic cards to enhance their arsenal they got some duel monsters cards of various monsters, trap and magic cards of said amount. Solomon meanwhile was impressed at the amount of cards being sold in his game shop in one shot. However, he would have to pay the supplier that delivered the cards to his shop since almost all of them were gone. After a few minutes, the trainers each got a full size deck of up to 400 duel monsters cards for their poke disks. Meanwhile, Yugi was having a talk with Joey and Tristan and noticed one person in their group was missing.
"Hey guys, where's Tea?" he asked
"She's most likely still fulfilling her dream of a being a dancer Yugi." Joey said "Believe me, we wish she was here too."
"Oh, I thought it would be like old times." Yugi replied disappointed. Just then however, a female figure appeared at the door and walked in. Everyone turned wondering who it was that walked in. Upon the figure catching sight of Yugi she gained a smile on her face. Yugi, Tristan, Joey and Solomon on the other hand gained a look of recognition.
"Tea is that y-OOF!" Yugi tried to ask but he was tackled to the floor by said brunette girl who was his best friend from childhood and high school.
"Yugi it's so good to see you again! I missed you so much!" Tea squealed as she squeezed the life out of him and started kissing him all over his face. Ash, Leaf and the rest of the duelists/trainers sweatdropped as they looked on.
"Yup, Tea missed Yugi alright." Joey stated
"Yeah, and she's squeezing the goddamn life out of him!" Tristan finished agreeing with him. However, Tea got off of Yugi after a minute allowing him to breathe again.
"Jeez, I wasn't even that bad with you when we saw each other back in Pallet Ash." Leaf said speaking her opinion about the whole scene that just happened
"I know right?" Ash said agreeing with her "I wonder if she has feelings for Yugi?"
"Good question, I think she does considering what she just did a minute ago" Leaf answered, then she finished with a thought "I also have feelings for you Ash. I hope you feel the same way." Just then Tea noticed the pair looking at her. She went wide eyed who she was looking at
"You're Ash Ketchum the Champion of the 6 regions up to Kalos including the Orange Islands. Not to mention Leaf who won all 6 regional leagues" she said then she shook his hand for the first time"It's nice to meet you 2"
"It's nice to meet you too Tea." The pair of trainers replied in unison
(Meanwhile in another part of Domino City)
Two young men named Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor were talking with an older man named Bandit Keith. They had a devious plan in mind to get revenge on Joey and Yugi for humiliating them back in Duelist Kingdom, Battle City and then the Orichalcos incident. Apparently the 2 would stop at nothing to get their revenge unfortunately
"Yes sir, Yugi, Ash and their group of friends who are trainers/duelists are most likely going to be traveling together. In fact, Ketchum with his group of friends arrived here in this city today on a boat from the Kanto region for the tournament. We'll be able to get our revenge against them" Rex said
"Ah, good, good. However, you forgot one thing in your plan you two." Keith said. At hearing this the 2 young men took a minute to think about it. After that minute, an answer dawned on them.
"Get Ash's Master Balls and Yugi's Egyptian God Cards!" Weevil answered with Rex nodding in agreement
"Right on the money, now you two get the idea." Keith replied giving them props for catching on quickly "Now before you go you'll need disguises and an alias."
"I'll be Sect" Weevil started
"And I'll be Tricera" Rex finished as they both got into their disguises
"Ok, now get the fuck going and don't fail me!" Keith said, then the 2 jogged out to get what they're looking for. Little did the trio know however, that someone was keeping an eye on them from a distance.
"Their names should've been bug geek and dino dork. They can't win duels for their lives and use dirty tricks to steal rare cards from other duelists" The figure stated with a metal Tyranitar mask on his face to conceal his identity for the time being until the time was right. His outfit consisted of a sleeveless brownish shirt, a black trench coat, and blonde hair that was covered by a hood with a poke disk on his arm "I won't let them accomplish their goal on my watch. One day however pharaoh, I will repay you for helping me steer onto the right path. Let's go Sceptile." Then, said green forest pokemon nodded and jogged with the person as they ran out of sight
(Back with our group of trainers and duelists)
Ash and Yugi were having a talk about their travels up to their most recent journeys. Ash talked about his travels, which group of criminals they went up against, and so on. The worst threat on Ash's end was Team Flare and Lysandre in Kalos. They along with their leader wanted to use the Mortality Duo's power not to help people, but to destroy the world. The worst threat of all on Yugi's end was facing Dartz, the Orichalcos and the Great Leviathan. Even a friend of his turned to Dartz's side, turned her back on them and went power crazy blinded by hatred against them for no apparent reason. Meanwhile, Leaf and Tea were having their own conversation
"So, you like Ash huh?" Tea asked in a teasing tone
"No way, were just best friends from our childhood." Leaf answered, however a blush on her cheeks begged to differ.
"Just by the blush on your face I can tell you're lying" Tea replied with a giggle
"Ok you got me there. However, me and the others did see how you knocked Yugi to the floor and kissed him all over his face." Leaf said mentioning the moment just about an hour ago making Tea blush
"Yeah, I do have feelings for Yugi. Ever since Battle City a few years ago my feelings for him started to grow but I didn't know how to confess to him." she said "Plus, it didn't help when someone all of a sudden wrecked my chances taking Yugi away from me. Anyway, we were practically best friends since we were kids as well. Although, at first in school things didn't seem to go so well between Yugi, Joey and Tristan. Joey and Tristan often bullied him until one day Yugi bailed them out when they were in a situation with another bully. Soon after, he got expelled, from that day forward the 3 became best friends and Tristan and Joey stopped being mean to him."
"Wow, that sounds kinda like my story" Leaf said, then she explained her side "Well, here's mine. Back when we were kids Ash was always there for me. We played together, sometimes had sleepovers at one another's house. Even Ash's family, Delia and Red with Veronica and Mike, my mother and father on my side of the family got along. What really sealed our and their friendship though was the one day before we met my condition was deteriorating and Red stepped in to save my life by paying for a life-saving operation in full on behalf of my family using the winnings he got from winning various Pokemon tournaments along with occasional Duel Monsters tournaments as well by writing out a check to pay for it to eliminate my condition and make me good as new which worked to perfection. They were so grateful for his help that they ended up becoming best of friends and Dad even offered him a job as president at his company to keep him active to repay him for his help. Delia did vice versa with Mom offering her a job at her restaurant in Pallet Town in Kanto as a cook there. Almost immediately her cooking was so good attracted many more customers which earned the restaurant an excellent reputation. She even got enough money together to upgrade it and make it better looking to bring in more customers. Red on the other hand accepted Dad's offer with the condition that he would be able to participate in Pokemon tournaments along with Duel Monsters tournaments every once in a while which he granted the ok as long as Dad had advance notice of said tournament. The day I got out of the hospital was when Mom and Dad introduced me to Ash, his mother Delia and father Red who was the one who saved me who was now like a second father to me. As the years went on I started to develop feelings for him which only got stronger as the years went on. Another childhood friend of ours always bullied me until my father and Professor Oak intervened" At hearing this story it gave Tea tears of joy
"Awww, that's so sweet. What did your parents and Ash's think of you when you said you had feelings for him?" she asked curious
"Well, it's simple and kinda obvious. They said they approved of him hands down, plus he would be the only one they would approve for a relationship. However, before the day we were going to get our new Pokemon and then travel together me and my parents moved away to Kalos. From that day forward just the thought of Ash's look on his face make me want to cry. We made a promise to be the best trainers in the world before I left. I won each and every league from Kalos to Kanto, but left the Elite Four and Champions to Ash who defeated them in all six regions with not just power, but skill too." Leaf explained with tears in her eyes thinking of that memory
"Sounds like you 2 had the same goals, except only Ash went further than you." Tea said putting two and two together
"Sounds about right Tea." Leaf replied happily. After a few hours, it reached night time and the group of trainers, coordinators and duelists was getting tired. So, they got their sleeping bags out got themselves a room to sleep in for the night or at least slept on the floor in their sleeping bags, before Ash, Yugi and Leaf went to bed however, Yugi decided to suggest something that was on his mind to the pair.
"Say Ash, how about tomorrow until this Friday when the tournament's supposed to start how about you, me and Leaf here can teach me about Pokemon, vice versa about duel monsters and then train for the tournament with the others?" he asked
"That's not a bad idea Yugi. I think most of my Pokemon can use some training considering it's been a while. Plus, I think me, some of my friends and Leaf here can use some lessons on duel monsters. What time do you want to start training tomorrow morning?" Ash said thinking that it was a good idea
"How about at 8:00 A.M. Tomorrow morning?" Yugi suggested. Ash and Leaf took a minute to think and both thought it would be a good time to train since they usually woke up in the 5:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. range to get ready for the day.
"You got yourself a deal Yugi." Leaf said "We usually get up before then anyway. Now if you'll excuse us we gotta get some sleep after the day we had today." Then, the 2 trainers and lone duelist went to bed to rest for the night before training/practicing for the tournament slated to start later in the week on Friday. However, little did they know that an old enemy with a returning sinister power was lurking, awaiting its return to exact vengeance
(Meanwhile in Kanto, underneath Viridian City in a certain criminal organization's hideout)
A man in an orange suit with the letter R on the top right of his suit named Giovanni is going over his plans to get rid of Ash Ketchum once and for all for foiling Team Rocket's plans. He had just the power that would do it to wipe out not only him, but take over the whole world as well. He was basically, pregnant with pure hate toward the whole world, literally. The power he had would be the key in world domination, well more like destruction
"With the power of the Orichalcos, no one, not even Ketchum, Yugi Moto or Ketchum's fucking father Red will be able to stop me!" Giovanni said to himself with sinister laughter, many of his Rockets, except for James, Domino and Meowth were all for his plans. You see, they knew that the power Giovanni gained was the definition of pure evil and they wanted absolutely no part of it. Jessie however was a different story. She was one of the members that went with the plan with the Rocket head. It's obvious she was going to stand by him until the end. However, she didn't know that her boss only cared for himself and cared for no one whatsoever. This was obviously bad news to not just Yugi and his group of friends old/new, but the world as well. Meanwhile unknowingly, a certain man with long green hair known as Dartz who was king of Atlantis was watching him from a portal with help from the god pokemon Arceus with his family; Ironheart his father, Kris his daughter, and his wife Iona; 3 of his friends, Critias, Hermos, and Timaeus in which all 3 knights of Atlantis were in their human forms and all of them were shocked at the scene they witnessed after he closed the portal showing the scene.
"Well, everyone." Dartz stated "The world is in danger again by the Orichalcos. Instead of me harnesing it it's someone else"
"Unfortunately honey." Iona said "So, do you recommend we go warn the pharaoh, his friends along with your former associates now comrades Rafael, Valon, and Alister about this returning power and help them defeat this abomination along with entering the Pokemon Duel Monsters world tournament?"
"Yes of course, I'm sure they'll want to know as well and they'll need every bit of backup they can get. I don't want them to get corrupted by the power of the Orichalcos again. Not to mention it'll awaken well, you-know-who if the right souls are captured." the Atlantian king stated making sure not to say the now taboo name. Everyone nodded in agreement and went to Domino City on Dartz's personal boat to deliver the grave/urgent warning message along with their request to help. As of today, the tournament is now not only to prove duelists/trainers' skills, but in the minds of the Atlantian group to make sure people keep their souls and not give into their darkness.
A/N: Whew, that took me a while to write. I apologize for the wait, I was trying to come up with ideas to strengthen the plot my crossover fic by introducing a returning sinister power, plus I'm working right now so it limits my time to write. Now for some small trivia. Who was the person that was watching Weevil, Rex and Bandit Keith from a distance? I did leave some hints to help you readers figure it out. Also, what do some of you writers who have more experience in writing recommend I write for some subplot to make this fic more interesting? Well anyway, if you want to see some more, check the follow box, if you like this crossover fic so far check the favorite box and then add to either one of your lists. If any of you want to, feel free to review. No flaming but the door to constructive criticism to improve my writing is always open for you to stop by. Also, please log in or at least get a FF account so I can PM you my response in either review or directly through PM. If you have any questions and/or suggestions ask in your review or PM me. Until next time, I'm out of here.
