Chapter 3.1- Fuchsia City Battle- Joey

Kanto- Fuchsia City

Janine was standing on the opposite side of the stadium. "Well, I never thought you'd get here. I was tempted to finish off the town while I waited."

Joey stepped forward. "Enough, Janine! You've caused too much destruction for one day! So, let's get this started."

"Let's duel"

"I'll start!" Joey said, drawing his sixth. "I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode (1800)"

Janine drew. "I am going to activate Pokeball, allowing me to summon Ekans from my deck." Ekans appeared on the field (1300). "Now, I evolve it into Arbok (2300). Now it will attack your Gearfried!" Joey/3500

Joey drew with a smirk. "I summon Baby Dragon in defense mode, and activate Scapegoat, which summons 4 tokens. Your turn, Janine!"

Janine drew, smiling. "I attack the left token with Arbok."

Joey drew. "Ok. This is gonna get fun! I summon Time Wizard to the field. Now its roulette will spin, and if it lands on a time machine, then things get interesting." The roulette spun. It took a good number of seconds. Finally, it stopped. It was just barely into the time machine section. "Ok. Now, Arbok is destroyed. That's not all. Take a look at my field."

Janine looked. Baby Dragon was no longer there. Now, only Thousand Dragon remained (2200), along with 3 tokens.

"Now, Thousand Dragon, attack her life points!" he commanded. Janine/1800LP

Janine shook it off and drew a card. "I activate Ultra Ball. Now I can summon my Nidoking to the field! (3000). Now, Nidoking, attack his Thousand Dragon!" Joey/2700LP

Joey drew. He liked his card. "I play Duelist Kingdom Finals. This card allows me to automatically summon the first monster in my deck." Joey lifted the first card off of it. "I summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon (2400). That's not all. I can now sacrifice it for Red Eyes Darkness Dragon. It gains 300 points for every dragon in my grave. I have 3, giving it 3300 points. Now it will attack Nidoking!" Janine/1500LP

Janine shook another intense blast off. She began laughing, as she had just drawn her rare card. "I activate the magic card, Drop of Poison! This card, every turn, will decrease your monster's attack points by ¼. Also, when it reaches 0, or gets rounded to 0, it is destroyed. Now, drop poison on his monsters!" Red-Eyes Black Dragon was lowered to 2475, and all of the Lamb Tokens were destroyed. "Now, I will play a card face down, and activate the magic of 2 super potions and a potion, giving me 1200 extra LP." Janine/3000LP.

Joey drew, frustrated. "I summon Tristan in attack mode (1400)."

Janine butted in. "Thank you, now you activate another effect of Drop of Poison. It can now lower Tristan by 1/8." Tristan/1225ATK.

"It doesn't mean that I can't crush you!" Joey yelled. "Go, Red-Eyes, attack her directly!"

"Not so fast, I activate a trap!"

"What!" Joey said, surprised.

"Grimer Block stops the attack." Janine said, revealing her trap card.

"Tristan hit her directly!" Joey said, angry. Janine/1600LP

Janine drew a card. "Now Drop of Poison activates." Red-Eyes/1856, Tristan/919 "Now I summon Male Nidoran (1700). Now, attack Tristan!" Joey/1919LP, Janine/1600LP

Chapter 3.2- Joey v. Janine, Cinnabar Island Battle- Wakka

Joey fell to his knee. He sat there in pain for a moment, but got back up and drew. "I activate my 4th Place at Battle City magic card. Now my dragon gets an additional 1000 points. Now it has 2856. Attack Nidoran!" Janine/444LP

Janine was now on both knees for a longer period of time than Joey. Finally, she drew and got up. "Drop of Poison, activate!" Red-Eyes/2142ATK "Now, I play one monster in defense mode and end my turn."

Joey drew. "I play one card face down and attack your monster with Red-Eyes."

Janine drew what would be her last card. "I activate Drop of Poison (REDD/1607), and then I activate Master Ball. I can now summon my Nidoqueen with 1.5x the power (3750). Now, attack Red-Eyes!"

"I activate Skull Dice!" Joey announced. "Now, I roll a die, and your monster loses points depending on the roll." It landed on 4. "Now, 3750 divided by 4 is…938. So, Red-Eyes, counter her attack!"

"No!" Janine yelled, with a Seymour-like tone. Janine/0LP

Drop of Poison shot from her duel disk, over to Joey, who put it in his back pocket. She then collapsed, and everyone ran over to her. Brock radioed the Airship. It had just dropped off in Cinnabar and was heading that way.

"Let's duel!" Blaine and Wakka said. They each drew a hand.

"I draw." Wakka said. "I summon the Besaid Aurochs to the field in attack mode (1750)."

"You have to do better than that." Blaine said, drawing. "I summon Blaine, and activate 2 field spells." His duel disk ejected 2 field spell slots, and Blaine used both. "First, Cinnabar Gym increases my monsters by 700 points (Blaine2700). Second, Blazing Wildfire. At the end of every turn, that player loses 300 LP for every monster on their side of the field. But, their opponent's monsters each lose 300 ATK/DEF for each turn, too. Now, Blaine, attack the Aurochs!" Wakka3050. "Now, I end my turn, so I lose 300 LP." Blaine3700LP.

Wakka wasn't pleased a bit. He drew, regardless. "I activate my special ability- Card Shuffle. Since I didn't like the card I drew, I can shuffle both of our decks, and we each draw a card." Blaine and Wakka did so. "I activate Blitzball Practice. For 3 turns, the monsters in my hand decrease by 2 stars. So, now I can summon Auron, Guardian of Lord Braska (2500). Now that he is on the field, if I have Auron, Guardian of Yuna in my hand, I can summon it, too. It just so happens I do (2500). Now, I can fuse them both automatically to make Auron, Guardian of the Braska's (3200/2800). Now, attack Blaine!" Blaine- 3200LP. "Now, I end." Wakka2750LP

Blaine drew, frowning. "I put a card in defense and end my turn (????)." Blaine2900LP, Auron2900ATK/2500DEF

Wakka drew, gaining the offensive. "I summon Kimari (2300). Now, Kimari, attack the face down." It was a Magby.

"When Magby is destroyed, I can summon an Egg Token (0) in defense mode." Blaine pointed out.

"Auron, attack the egg!" Wakka commanded, not caring. "I end my turn." Wakka2150LP, Blaine2900LP.

Chapter 3.3- Chalking Two Up

Blaine drew a card, and smiled. "I summon Growlithe in attack mode (1600). Now, I evolve it to Arcanine from my hand (2300+7003000)." Arcanine was now more powerful than Auron. "Now, attack Auron, Fire Blast!" Wakka2050LP. "I end my turn." Wakka1750LP, Blaine2600LP. Kimari2000.

Wakka drew, in a sticky situation. "I play Summoner's Cry For Help! This magic card allows me to play every Guardian Monster from my hand. So, welcome Wakka the Guardian (2000) and Lulu the Guardian (2000). Now, I can combine all 3 of my guardians to summon Guardian Party 1 (2500)! Now I equip it with the Wakka Ball magic card, giving it a total of 3000 attack points! Attack Arcanine!" The two creatures met with force, creating a large amount of light and smoke. When it cleared, GP1 was still standing.

"But why?" Blaine asked, in distress.

"By giving 2 cards from my hand, I can keep it on the field." Wakka replied, doing just that. "And since they were monsters, you receive damage for ½ times the number of stars I discarded. I discarded 5 stars, so you get 250 points of damage. I end my turn with a facedown." Wakka1450, Blaine2350.

Blaine drew. He enjoyed his draw very much. "I activate Master Ball! This card allows me to summon any monster in my deck with 1.5x the power. I choose Magmortar (5050)! Attack GP1!"

"I activate Venom Shot 2!" Wakka announced. "This card will send your attack back at you, at 1.5x the power (7575), and at Magmortar's original attack points (2900)." Blaine lost 4675 LP. Blaine0LP.

The field disappeared as Blaine snapped out of it, and the evil Duel Disk disappeared as well. They got Blaine together and called the airship back. They had just picked up Joey from a victory over Janine.

-

Yuna brought some pizza from the towns into the bridge where they had a mini-celebration. Kaiba2 and Pegasus had come up as well, as they needed a break from the Lab. Mokuba went over to the sphere computer, bringing up a map of Kanto. He put checkmarks on Cinnabar Island, Fuchsia City, and Pewter City, to the applause of everyone else.

-

Seymour, flying through some clouds, got to thinking. He needed to make his next move well, as he didn't want to lose any potential minions. Yes, every gym leader that was left undefeated would remain his minion, only when he needed them, though. But he would need them eventually. He just didn't know it, yet.
