"See, Yami, this is a Pokémon Center. Luckily, it helps more than
just Pokémon," Ash said as Nurse Joy was wrapping him in bandages. "They
also provide free food and shelter for traveling trainers like us."
"They also have a clothing store in the back, but hardly anyone knows about it," Misty added.
"Hmm, that sounds good. I better go buy myself a new 'hat'," Yami said and went to the clothing store. "Oh look, a hat!" He picked up a hat from the shelf that looked oddly like his hair. "Eeeerf. A hat that looks like my hair," Yami sighed. "Ash was right. This is such a cruel world..." He continued browsing and found a new black shirt and a new jacket! In fact, it was his old jacket- someone found it and turned it in. He picked it up, put it on, and kept looking. It was still a bit soggy, and his clothes were dirty, so he bought a whole new set of clothes that looked almost exactly like the ones he had on. Yami went to the laundry section of the Pokémon Center to wash his dirty clothes. He took of his pants (Anyone ever wonder why nobody washes their clothes in the actual shows? Eew.they just keep them on and never wash them. That is just sick...) and felt around the pockets to see if anything was in them. He felt something and pulled it out- it was his Duel Monsters deck! "YEEEHEEE! MY DECK!!" Yami screamed as he danced around the laundry room in his underpants. Ash walked in with his jacket ready to be washed and saw Yami prancing around the PUBLIC room. Ash twitched, dropped his jacket, and ran back to the room as fast as his bandaged self could take him.
Yami looked down and saw that in all his excitement he forgot to put some real clothes back on, which scared Ash away. He put his Duel Monsters deck down and put his new clothes on, then started the washer. He also went back to the clothing store and bought a backpack so he could carry all his stuff with him. When he returned to the laundry room, he folded his laundry and placed it neatly in his new jet-black bookbag. There was a special pocket on the side of it that he kept his deck in, it was the perfect size. Of course, he wanted to show his new, forced, friends his Duel Monsters deck, so he didn't put it in there.
"Hey guys! Look what I have! It's my Duel Monsters deck! It's what I used to play back home!" Yami walked into the room waving his deck.
"It's so pretty!" Misty shrieked as she picked up the Dark Magician Girl. "Dark Magician Girl..." Misty read from the card. "Can I have it?"
"NO! IT'S MINE! Er, I mean, no, it's mine. You... er... can't have it."
"Alright, geez. It isn't that pretty anyway," Misty mumbled.
"This one is neat," Ash said as he picked up the Buster Blader. "Whoa, it has high numbers. It must be powerful."
"Oh, it is! That is one of my best cards! Do you want me to teach you how to play?"
"Please!" Brock said.
"Oh wait, I don't have another deck!" Yami said as he smiled and a sweatdrop rolled down his face.
"That's okay..." Ash said, digging in his backpack for something.
"What are you looking for Ash?" Misty asked. Ash grinned and replied, "My cards."
"Your cards?"
"My Pokémon cards. I've had them for a long time, but I never told anyone about them because no one else seemed to use them."
"Pokémon cards?" Yami questioned. "Can I see them?" Ash handed the cards to Yami as he looked through them. "Wh-what is this? There are no defense points, no attack points, nothing. But there are attacks... ASH! How do you use these?"
"See, in Pokémon card battles, there are no defense points. There are no life points, there are no magic cards, no trap cards, nothing like that. There are only hit points, prizes, and the deck to win with. These numbers up here are the hit points, the higher the better. Those are your temporary "life points". This number down here, next to the attack, is how much damage the attack does. You attack with that and chip off the opponent's Pokémon's hit points."
"Ah, I see. The Pokémon you use doesn't have to have a higher power than the other one to win. That's nifty!" Yami smiled. His serious attitude was wearing down in the Pokémon world. Ash set up a basic Pokémon card field and said, "This is what the setup up looks like." For the rest of the night, Yami and Ash played Pokémon Cards, and Yami for once, was losing.
MEANWHILE AT YUGI'S WORLD-
"Where's Yuge? He is certainly takin' 'is time, idn't he?" Joey said as Pegasus walked out of the building. "Pegasus?! Where da heck is Yugi?"
"Don't worry, Joey. He has been sent to the Shadow Realm, the shadows will be sure to take care of him! BWAHAHAHA! I've finally defeated Yugi Boy, I am the best duelist in the world!"
"No you're not! You probably cheated!" Téa yelled.
"Pegasus! What did you do with Yugi?" Seto yelled. "I still have to duel him. Obelisk is just rotting in my deck, waiting to challenge him, and I can't find him! My system isn't tracking his duel disk either!"
"What? You mean..." Téa sniffed.
"Pegasus did defeat Yuge. Oh no, what are we gonna do now? Battle City finals are coming, da rare hunters are everywhere, Yuge is gone, 'n now, WE HAVE ALL OUR ENEMIES IN ONE PLACE!" Joey screamed.
Marik, or Nami (I think that's what the he said his name was today anyway), then ran up to Seto and joined the fray between enemies. "Where's Yugi? I need his puzzle to become pharoah! I also need his God card!" Marik looked around and saw Joey and Téa then fixed what he said, "Erm... where's Yugi? I need to see his puzzle to complete a research report about the Millennium Items! I need his god card to improve my artistic horizons; reference pictures are very useful." Marik smiled sweetly, but Seto screamed in his ear, disturbing his sweet face. "MARIK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! I NEED THE GOD CARDS, NOT YOU, YOU GRUBBY PHAROAH WANNA BE!"
"Marik?" Joey and Téa said together. Joey continued, "MARIK! You're da puzzle stealer who commands all da rare hunters!"
"Very good, Joey. You've figured out who I am," Marik replied coldly.
"Hey guys! I've got some horrible news!" Bakura ran up to the crowd and explained the problem; "My ring is only sensing five Millennium Items! I wonder what happened to the sixth one, besides mine."
"Well now, this is odd. We have all of our enemies in one spot, Yugi is gone, there are only six millennium items the ring can sense." Téa muttered.
"I guess we all need something from Yugi," Seto said. "Marik needs his god card and puzzle, Bakura needs his puzzle, I need his god card, and Pegasus has what he wants. And you, Joey and Téa, you need him to be your friend still."
"Well, what are we standin' 'round 'ere for? Let's go find Yuge! We have ta hurry though, Tristan's comin' with my sister, Serenity, soon!" Everyone but Pegasus ran to the far end of the city, Pegasus already had what he wanted, he wasn't about to let Yugi return.
"They also have a clothing store in the back, but hardly anyone knows about it," Misty added.
"Hmm, that sounds good. I better go buy myself a new 'hat'," Yami said and went to the clothing store. "Oh look, a hat!" He picked up a hat from the shelf that looked oddly like his hair. "Eeeerf.
