Hey, everyone! I have a brand new crossover for you! In this story, the 5Ds gang are in the world of Pokémon! I came up with this while I was bored at work and the more I thought about it the more likely and doable it sounded. What the heck? Why not? I don't own rights to YuGiOh! 5Ds! or Pokémon! Enjoy!


Dragons of Destiny:
Companions

The next time Yusei woke he found to find himself covered with a thick blanket while suspended in a makeshift cot that sat between the chambers that held his pokémon. Sitting up, a hand rose to his head as he squinted against the single light in the room that was on the far side. A plate wrapped in cellophane sat with a pitcher of water and a note that reminded him to be sure to eat everything that was set out. He cautiously took steps towards the table that the food was and removed the clear plastic to reveal a sandwich cut into two neat triangles; tomato and lettuce on the top with a thin line of mayo, two slices of what smelled like sharp cheddar cheese, and a generous amount of what looked to be chicken. Next to them was a small bunch of red grapes, a few sticks of carrots, and a clementine orange. His stomach made a noise of protest when he poured himself a glass of water and took a few sips. Of course he was starving, but he had to take it slow with his injuries. It wasn't until he was sure that his body fully accepted the water that he raised one of the sandwich halves and took a slow bite. Within minutes, he had completely devoured the sandwich and the plate was licked clean. As gently as he could, he lifted the shirt the center had given him and began to examine his own body. The wrappings around his head were now gone, as well as the pain that had plagued him earlier, but there were a few on his torso. A soft hiss slipped between his lips as he peeled back one of the bandages so to better asses himself. There was a cut about four inches long that started near his spleen and ended just short of his belly button that was still an angry pink but thankfully had healed over with a healthy scab. He had to bite back a groan as he began to peel back the one on his upper chest. There was a gash about as thick as his arm that stretched from his diaphragm to cross his right chest cavity where it met his collarbone.

The sound of a muffled impact drew his attention towards the chambers in time to see the Eevee tumble to the floor. Bandages wrapped it from head to tail tip but it quickly shook them off as if they were nothing. Yusei's eyes combed its figure as it began to groom itself; the scratches had pretty much healed over but the one on its back had a large scab that looked odd in coloring. There were a few specs within the scab that looked oddly like puss pockets, which meant that an infection had grown in the wound despite Nurse Joy's attempts. "You're looking much better," he murmured, slowly edging himself closer. "I'm glad."

The Eevee glanced in his direction as it readjusted to better reach the spot on its back, its long ears nearly laid flat. At least it wasn't completely ignoring him. It was as his hand was mere inches from making contact with its fur that it fixed him with a pointed look in time to see Yusei's motions halt. Its eyes were dark and tight with distrust as Yusei continued to talk to it with a gentle tone. One of its paws swiped his hand away and with a huff, it leapt up onto the open windowsill and disappeared into the night.

He wanted nothing more than to chase after it, but it denied him. There was little he could do to help a pokémon that didn't want assistance. A sigh slipped between his lips as he let his hand fall to his knee, resting his head back against the chambers. One of the treatment chambers a few rows from him lit up as a soft chime sounded and the door opened. Rockruff jumped to the ground and yipped as it caught sight of Yusei, running to greet him, but its motions ceased once it had spotted the bandages covering its trainer. "I'm alright." He assured as the puppy pokémon began to whine softly, his fallen hand rising and receiving a lick. Rockruff climbed up into his lag, giving each of his wounds a sniff before it nuzzled his chin gently. She had honestly hatched a few days before his father had sent him off so it was no surprising that she had been terrified of the Ursaring; they were the first ones she had seen! "It wasn't your fault," Yusei smiled, rubbing behind one of its ears. "so don't beat yourself about it, okay? I'm just glad you're all better now." Rockruff booped its nose against his own, earning a chuckle. "There's a good girl." He spotted a drawer labeled "Grooming Utensils" near them and retrieved a soft bristled brush, which he offered to her, and began to brush her with well-practiced motions. Nurse Joy had done an excellent job in cleaning the puppy pokémon's wounds and her fur was soft to the touch, however the areas that had been affected by the bandages were slightly matted and he knew Rockruff enough that it would soon pose a problem with her esteem. She was very shy by nature, making it hard for her to socialize with other pokémon, and it didn't help with her difficulty to accept her appearance. Seeing Yusei, his father, and the Froakie when she had emerged from her egg made her insecure about what exactly she was. They had shown her pictures and videos of other Rockruff, yes, but she couldn't help but feel alone. Yusei, though, took every opportunity to remind her of how unique and special she was, that they were excited to learn all sorts of things about her. It was one of the reasons she had attached to him rather than the professor. She nuzzled his hand when he had worked out one of the matted messes in her fur. "I bet you feel much better, don't you?" he smiled, briefly running his hand over her now smooth coat.

Another chime sounded and they looked back to the chambers in time to spot Froakie jump down. The frog stretched for a few seconds, craning its neck in every direction, then hopped over to sit at Yusei's side. "Hey, how you feeling?" he greeted, earning a fist bump from his starter. Froakie's eyes found every scrape, scratch, and bandage that covered his trainer. An exasperated look overcame its features as it shook its head. "Come on now! I was more worried about protecting you all more than anything!" One of its eyes closed as it gave a long croak that literally said "suuuure". Yusei rolled his eyes but the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile as the frog jumped up to settle on his shoulder. According to his father, Froakie had emerged from his egg within hours after Yusei himself had been born. It had heard his infant cries and had managed to crawl up into the cradle where it soothed him. It was from that point on that the Froakie kept to Yusei's side. The frog briefly nudged his trainer's cheek with its own before it turned its attention to Rockruff as it yipped.

Yusei's eyes rose back to the open window as a breeze swept through, his thoughts going over the recent events. The Ursaring had attacked them, forcing them to run in an unknown direction, and were rendered unconscious with injuries. His brows furrowed as a flash of crimson sped past in front of him. No pokémon with that specific coloring and size lived anywhere near this region so where had it come from, but what else could it possibly be? He pulled out the pokédex his father had given him and began to type in the characteristics that he remembered; lean build, crimson coloring, large in size- His motions froze, eyes falling to rest on his forearm as he remembered the burning sensation that had taken over his being. It hadn't used a burning move or it would have left a mark but his skin was unscathed. How strange.

A cry came from outside, catching his and the pokémon's attention. Yusei slipped the shirt back on and returned Rockruff to her pokéball just before he squeezed out the window. His head swiveled left and right as he attempted to pinpoint the sound but it was Froakie who found it first, directing him towards the south behind the center where they could spot the motorcycle. The scenery became blurs as they sped over the terrain, drifting to the right as the cry came from one of the nearby hilltops. Runner became airborne and his expression became tight as he spotted the source: the Eevee was dodging the attacks of a flock of Murkrow but it cried out whenever one made contact with the still recovering wound on its back. "Froakie, you up to lend a hand?" The frog nodded. "Alright, Double Team and follow with Water Pulse!" The frog disappeared from his shoulder, reappearing while running in a circle around the fallen Eevee while firing off balls of water at the attacking black birds. It wasn't long until they gave up and disappeared into the dark sky. He quickly turned off the engine and rushed to Eevee's side, his eyes combing its body for any other injuries. The wound had reopened and his suspicions were confirmed when he spotted puss beginning to ooze into its fur. They were still within distance of the center but what if Nurse Joy or Chansey didn't stay in the center itself? Removing his shirt, he wrapped it around the panting pokémon, his concern growing tenfold when he found its temperature to be rising. Yusei cursed under his breath as he tucked it under his arm and mounted Runner, Froakie reappearing on his shoulder just as they sped off.

He wasted no time in finding everything he needed from gauze to hydrogen peroxide and utensils. Yusei was nowhere near as qualified to treat a pokémon as his father, but he had learned how to perform emergency aid until one better suited could take over. His eyes studied one of the bottles as he filled a syringe, keeping care to accurately measure its contents. Anything more than the 12mg would cause more harm than good. Eevee turned away from him as he cleared away some of its fur and found a pulse point. "Easy, I'm just trying to help." His motions stalled as it shook its head and backed away until it was teetering on the edge of the examination table he had placed it on. A glaze had settled over its eyes, testimony to the fever it was developing, and its legs were shaky as they struggled to support its weight. "Your wound is infected and it needs to be cleaned soon or else you're going to get very sick." Yusei held out a hand as Froakie gave an angry croak from its place on the counter.

Eevee seemed to cast it a hesitant glance, as if it were asking if it could trust the human in front of it. It hated to admit it but Yusei seemed much different than all the other humans it had encountered. Many trainers had attempted to catch it and a few managed to, but they never treated it as an equal nor did any of them treat it as more than a tool. Yusei seemed different though, judging from how he interacted with Froakie and the unusual dog pokémon from earlier. It softly cried as the pain in its back intensified and slowly hobbled until it fell in a heap next to Yusei.

"You won't regret it," Yusei smiled, briefly patting its head before administering the drug. "rest for a little bit. You'll be better in no time."

. . . .

It seemed an instant later that Eevee jumped awake, its eyes darting all over the room as it jumped to its feet. The bandage on its back inhibited its actions slightly but there wasn't anymore pain nor did it feel like an oven. Eevee's nose twitched as it sniffed the bandage and found that the strange smell that had made it grimace was gone. A different smell had taken its place though. This one was a blend of sandalwood with a hint of leather and had a trace of amber musk. Its eyes fell upon the two sleeping figures that were on the other side of the room.

The pillow and frubbles combination cushioning his head, tilting it off to the right, and the blanket that was draped over his slumbering figure rose slightly with each breath he took. It spotted the frog in Yusei's lap, completely passed out and spread eagled across the blanket that snored softly every so often. They both appeared to be in a deep slumber but their eyes cracked open slightly as the cot swayed gently when a new weight settled itself on Yusei's chest. A smile lifted the corners of his mouth as the Eevee nuzzled his hand and gave it a few rubs behind its ears before his hand fell to settle on its tail.

. . . .

Giggling woke the trio and their eyes opened to find the twins above them, wide smiles on their faces. "How are you feeling?" Luna asked, backing away slightly as Yusei sat up and giggled as Froakie climbed to settle into his trainer's black tresses. "It looks like your pokémon are doing much better."

Yusei nodded, glancing down as Eevee looked up at him. "This one decided to have a little adventure in the middle of the night but everything worked out." The twins exchanged questionable glances then shrugged as they exited the room so he could get dressed. The clothes he had worn had been washed overnight and he was more than relieved to be rid of the hospital-like outfit. He left his navy jacket unzipped, revealing his royal blue tee that was tucked into his charcoal jeans. The combat-styled boots on his feet were pitch black but he had added a few gold accents over the years to make them more his style. Froakie and Eevee nodded as he finished, adjusting his fingerless gloves as he turned towards them. "Much better."

It was as he was expressing his gratitude to Nurse Joy that the twins reappeared, each bearing a backpack and a motorized skateboard, their eyes practically sparkling. He could already tell what they were going to say. "We'd like to go with you." Yup, just as he thought. Dropping to one knee, he asked about their parents and blinked as a bitter expression appeared on the boy twin's face. "They're hardly home, so I doubt they'll miss us."

"I'd rather you ask them anyway." Yusei spotted a videophone to their left and lead them over, requesting that they made the call. Luna glanced in Leo's direction, earning a shrug, and began to type in the number. It wasn't long before they both jumped in surprise as a woman with long teal hair appeared on the screen. "Sorry to bother you, ma'am," Yusei bowed his head slightly. "are you Leo and Luna's mother?"

"Yes, I picked up as soon as I saw the center's number but you aren't Nurse Joy." The woman's baby blue eyes glanced in the direction of her children as they began to explain how they had met Yusei. Their mother's eyes occasionally widened or one of her eyebrows would rise as her children spoke but the twinkle that she spotted in their eyes was all she needed to see. "I think it's a great idea for you to go with him, if you would allow. I can't think of anyone else that I would rather have travel with my children, Professor Fudo."

"With all due respect, Professor Fudo is my father. My name is Yusei Fudo." This caused her eyebrows to nearly disappear into her bangs as she apologized. "It's alright, I get that sometimes. We do look a lot alike so I understand." The Froakie atop of his head gave a few croaks as Eevee's head tilted to the side, he must have been confirming his human's words. Yusei glanced downward at the twins, seeing their hopeful expressions. "I will be honest, I just started on my journey and I've already landed myself I the center along with my pokémon. I will do everything in my power to make sure they never end up that bad again but life is unpredictable, you never know what's going to happen. Your children-"

Their mother held up a hand. "Yusei, allow me to interrupt you for a moment. Your father is an amazing man and it appears that he has raised a fine young man who is responsible and cares about the wellbeing of those around him. Your pokémon are testimony to that, they seem to be well cared for and they certainly are affectionate towards you in a way I haven't seen for a very long time. I feel that my children will learn a lot from you and I'm certain that my husband would agree with allowing them to travel with you. Please take them with you," she bowed her head. "I know they look up to you already and they would learn so much more from you than anyone else."

A sigh slipped form between Yusei's lips as he glanced upward at Froakie. "What do you think?" The frog looked to the twins, its eyes studying each in turn before jumping to ground to exchange a few sounds with Eevee. They looked up at him and smiled. His hands rose and rested on the twins' shoulders, his lips lifting into a smile. "We've got a lot of traveling to do, so be sure to get everything in order before we head out."
