An A/U Crossover Type fanfic...
In the Card Viewing Room, both Ino and Yugi noticed that the earthquake has stopped.
"I'm glad that is now over," said Yugi. "Now, back to us."
Ino grabs Yugi's hand and puts it over her left bosom. "Feel my heart, Atem, feel it."
"What?"
Ino accidentally spills some wine onto Yugi's pants. "Oh no, that is going to stain."
"But Ino, its white wine!"
"I'm taking it off..."
But Ino quickly undo Yugi's belt and pulls Yugi's pants down, revealing a pink pair of boxers. But before Ino could continue to violate Yugi, a deep voice spoke out.
"Hold it right there!"
At the entrance to the Card viewing room is Norman, Dawn and a Piplup ready to attack. "Pokémon Agents," announced Norman.
"Oh crap," mouth Yugi.
" Norman? What are you doing here?" Ino asks as she loops up at Yugi.
Norman puts handcuffs on Yugi. "This man, Atem Peppercat, aka. Atem the Pep, aka. Daniel Blue, aka. Rinny 'Tin-tin' Taro is a confidence man," Norman explained to the shocked Ino.
Yugi tries to protest. "Ok, that's not the whole..."
"Quiet." Norman continues. "He infiltrates high-end establishments through legitimate business contacts. He was going to drug you and replace the real cards with these."
Norman opens up Yugi's jacket, revealing a vest holding a bunch of gold cards.
"Oh my god..."
"And that's not all." Norman puts his hand on Yugi's fake nose.
"Oh no!" Norman pulls out Yugi's prosthetic nose, revealing Yugi's true face.
"Oh my god!" said Ino as she sees Yugi's face without the nose.
"Oh, Ino. Ok, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I really do like you..."
"Shut it," said Norman.
Ino realized that Chazz is not going to be pleased with this unfortunate 'incident'. "I am so finished."
"Don't let it bother you," said Norman. "He is a professional at allay suspicion and seducing women of a certain...age."
"If Chazz finds out about this..."
"I'll be delicate on my report," said Norman.
Ino nods. "Thank you, Agent Moto."
Norman looks at Dawn. "Get her statement."
Dawn begins to take Ino's statement. "Now, I need your full name."
Agent Norman escorts Yugi into a lift. After Norman pressed a lift button, Yugi undid the handcuffs while Norman returns the fake nose.
"Thank you, Dad," said Yugi.
"I'm just glad that Tea wasn't here to see that," Norman said.
"You just don't want to admit that the Usopp played," argued Yugi.
"It's a little too early for a victory lap," said Norman.
Kaiba is listening in on the conversation.
Ash: "Yugi, I hate to break up this family reunion but did you make the switch?"
Yugi: "Yeah, everything went according to plan. We're heading to the roof."
Kaiba picks up his cellphone. "Did you hear that?"
"I'm ready," answered Naruto.
On the helipad of the Chazz, Yugi is still making his point. "It's not that I'm desperate to celebrate. I just need you to acknowledge that it wasn't a prop for prop's sake. The nose played. It worked and in a way, it was kind of perversely dignified."
Norman sighs. "Alright, let just finish the job, Yugi." Norman points towards the night sky. "There he is."
A Meowth balloon is heading towards the helipad of the Chazz, with Eriol controlling the balloon's direction. Suddenly, a piece of cloth is thrown away from the wall, revealing Naruto holding a Kunai. He walks to the middle of the helipad, obstructing Eriol's landing zone.
"Oh, what the hell!" said Yugi.
"Alright, hand over the Cards," said Naruto.
Yugi looks at his father. "Give him the cards," said Norman.
Yugi removes the vest that is holding the gold cards and tossed it to Naruto. "Come on, you're a thief and you are using a Kunai to rob us?"
Naruto simply shrugged and tossed the kunai on the floor next to Yugi before running off the roof.
Yugi checked the Kunai, only to find out that it is just only a toy kunai. Yugi runs to the edge of the roof and spots Naruto gliding on a parachute away from the Chazz. There is no way for anyone to catch up to Naruto now.
"Come on, Yugi! Let's go!" yelled Eriol as he lands the balloon on the helipad.
Then, Yugi links a thick rope to a hook under the Meowth Balloon before connecting the rope with an additional four links that has been placed on the helipad by Sakura at an earlier time.
Down at ground level, Ash walks up to a depressed Chazz. "Tough night, Chazz. Half a billion running out the door," said Ash. "You going to roll over and die?"
Chazz snorts at the comment. "Heh, you think you hit me. You don't even know where my soft targets are. I still got a few life points left in me and it hasn't even been my turn yet. I got the hottest new Game Corner in Domino City. And it's a shoo-in for the Five Star Gold Card award."
"You sure?" Ash asked.
"Sure? I got that baby..."
"All sewn up," finished Ash. "I know."
At that moment, Keitaro walks out of the Game Corner in his casual clothes instead of his Nagi Springfield disguise. Keitaro crossed his fingers.
"Whoops."
Back on the helipad, Yugi jumps onto the Meowth balloon with Norman and Eriol. "All set, Eriol."
Eriol nods as he pulls a lever on his controls of the balloon. The Meowth balloon slowly floats upwards and rockets appeared, ready to launch.
Down below, Eriol glares at Ash. "This town might have changed, but not me. I'm going to let you down. I know guys who are highly invested in my survival and those guys know how to hurt...in ways you can't even imagine."
Ash smiled, showing no fear. "Well, Chazz. Number 1: I know all the guys you are going to hire after me. They like me better than you.
On the Meowth Balloon, Eriol presses the detonator, starting the timer in the vent under the Card Viewing Room, causing the bombs under the glass case to detonate.
"Number 2: You're not going to the cops because...well, I know you're not going to the cops," said Ash.
The timer reaches zero, detonating the bombs, detaching the glass card viewing case along with the helipad from the building itself.
"Number 3: You shook Doraemon's hand. You should know better, Chazz."
Ash walks towards Keitaro and walked away from The Chazz...
The rockets on the Meowth Balloon ignited, giving the balloon enough strength to carry away the glass case, along with the 5-Star Gold Cards worth a quarter of a billion...
Chazz looks up at the night sky and spots a rocket-powered Meowth Balloon flying away with a familiar glass case.
"My gold cards..."
Chazz isn't the only person who saw the balloon carrying away the glass case. In an alley, Naruto sees the glass case being carried off. He quickly looks at the cards he has in his possession, only to notice that the cards are clearly fakes. Ketchum's Eleven has done it to him again!
"Dattebayo!" screamed Naruto as he tossed the fake cards into a bin.
Fireworks lit up at the night sky for the Grand Opening Celebrations at The Chazz...
At Tai's mansion, Ketchum's Eleven watched the fireworks. Tonight, what was meant to be Chazz's greatest night for his newest Game Corner has become his greatest loss. And all this was for Tai. During the fireworks celebrations, Ash gives Tai an envelope. "What's this?"
"The deeds to a prime piece of real estate that was once yours," answered Ash.
Tai smiled. "The moment you become embarrassed of who you are, you lose yourself. I changed my house, the way I dressed, what I ate. Fro what? Nothing."
Eriol puts his arms around Ash and Tai. "Hey, Tai? You good?"
Tai smiled and gives Eriol a cigar and lights it. "Thanks for the letters, Eriol. They brought me back."
Eriol smokes the cigar. "You're more than welcome, Tai."
The gang continued to watch the fireworks.
