Darkness surrounded Yami, and he was feeling weak. The swirling of the dark clouds hypnotized him, and he felt faint. The pharaoh in his blood would not let him be banished to the Shadow Realm. A strange strength came over him, and he rose, though shaking, and was able to reach the portal that links the Shadow Realm and the real world. However, the portal was halfway closed, and as he was climbing over, it closed fully. He then fell through yet another strange passage. Yami tried to grasp the walls, which really weren't walls at all, but semi-solid dark gases that the Shadow Realm is comprised of. Yami went through another portal, and landed on the ground with a heavy drop. "Where am I now? I don't recognize this place! At least all that pressure from the Shadow Realm is off."

"Hey Yami! Can I be me again?" Yugi was asking from inside the puzzle.

"Sure, let's go." Yami then prepared to switch, but a problem occurred, and a drop of sweat rolled down Yami's face.

"What's wrong, spirit?"

"I.can't..switch with you.Yugi."

"What?! What do you mean?!"

"This world isn't letting us switch, Yugi!"

"I suppose you can be me, but when we get back, let's switch as soon as possible."

Yami got up from the ground and looked around at the forest surrounding him. Out of it walked a pikachu, quite a sight for Yami to see. "What is that? I've never seen that kind of monster before!"

"Pikachu!"

"What the-" The pikachu shocked Yami, but only with a static bolt. "That tickles! Stop it!" The pikachu then shocked Yami with a thunder, and Yami got up, angry and electrified. "What the freak are you doing? Leave me alone you deranged mouse!"

"Pika!" The pikachu jumped on Yami's shoulder and jumped up and down.

"Stoppit! What are you anyway?"

"Spirit, take the mouse with you, it might come in handy for something," Yugi said to Yami as he tried to take the pikachu from his shoulder.

"Maybe your right, let's take it with us." The pikachu jumped off Yami's shoulder and followed him as he walked around the woods.

"Weedle weedle weedle!"

"Weevil? Where!"

"Pika pika." Pikachu shook its head in disguist. It was probably thinking how clueless Yami was about his surroundings. Pikachu decided he should go with him, so Yami wouldn't be too lost.
