Learning to play the game
Satoshi and Daisuke let Bakura stay at their place until the door was fixed. Daisuke decided to learn more on how to play this game called 'Duel Monsters' from Yugi. Once he was able to grasp the basics, Yugi took him to his Grandpa's game shop, aka the Kame Game Store. (Kame means turtle.)
Daisuke bought the cards so he could play, and went up against Yugi all afternoon. When he got back, Satoshi got on his case about being late.
"Satoshi, quit complaining! I was trying to see what all this hype was about Duel Monsters!" said Daisuke in his defense.
"Well?"
"It's pretty easy, kinda like Magic: the Gathering. It's also fun to try out. Why not ask Yugi or his grandpa to teach you?"
"Let me see what you play it with first."
Daisuke handed Satoshi the cards and he looked through them.
"All this is about pictures on thin strips of cardboard?!" said Satoshi in disbelief.
"You've never played games before, have you…" said Daisuke with a look of surprise.
"The only games I've played were the ones that increase your mental capacity like Chess or Go."
"Your childhood must have been a boring one…" said Daisuke with a shrug.
"Har-har. Let's get back to our work Daisuke!" snorted Satoshi.
The next day, Dark came up with a plan to get Satoshi to lighten up a little. Daisuke agreed to it wholeheartedly.
"Hey, Joey, Yugi, do you think you can help me out?" asked Daisuke.
"With what?" asked Tristan.
"Satoshi can't seem to figure out why playing normal games is fun. He told me that the only games he's ever played were things like Go or Chess."
"Now that's sad…" said Yugi.
"So, do ya think you can help me loosen him up a little?" asked Daisuke.
"I have an idea, Daisuke!" said Bakura.
"What?"
"Why not ask if Seto Kaiba will help out with this? He's a gamer too you know."
"Great idea Bakura! Satoshi won't be able to refuse if Kaiba joins in!"
During the lunch break, Daisuke approached Kaiba alone.
"Hey Seto, do you think you could help me out with something?" asked Daisuke.
"Why not ask Satoshi?"
"He's the one I need help with."
"Okaaay…"
"Satoshi can't seem to figure out why normal games like Duel Monsters are fun. According to him, the only games he's ever played were Chess and Go."
"Yikes. And you want me to help loosen him up, right?"
"Exactly! If you join in on this, then he'll have no way of refusing!"
"Well, this does explain a few things. He didn't get the reason behind designing a game at all."
"So, will you help me and the others?" asked Daisuke.
"Definitely. This might help him more than it will us!" said Kaiba.
