This chapter contains mini crossovers and there will be some sections where the crossover level equals to the Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh! Level but not that much.

Chapter 18

A Mysterious Island And The Portal Quest

The Venemas plus the Two Pokemon had just arrived at a Seaport. There were disguised of course so no one would know who he or she is. The two Legendaries were keeping out of sight so their plans weren't ruined. Of course, only very few people have seen them so that didn't matter but they wanted to be careful. Trevor had suggested on finding an uninhabited island to hide until this whole thing blows over. They soon found out that there was a ferry to a mysterious island. Locals around the Seaport didn't give very much information but they did give the local warning. It was something like once you land on the island; you will never be seen again. But some silly old superstition wasn't going to stop the most powerful Rockets.

"We don't care about superstition. Just take us to that island." Trevor growled.

The local ship captain stepped back and looked at the cloaked figure. It was strange that a human, or what he thought was human, could growl like a Pokemon. He ignored Trevor and decided to take them to the island. He didn't want to cause trouble but he felt sorry for these people. They were probably going to be stuck on that island for the rest of their lives. He decided to give them some food just in case. Meanwhile on the other side of the town, a couple of travelers were preparing to head towards the mysterious island.

"Lorelei, do you think you have enough water pokemon to help us get us over there?" Misty asked.

"If you can help by providing some of your water pokemon, I think we can make it without a hitch." Lorelei replied back.

"I will glad to help. Let's just hope that The Twin Terrors are on the Island. I have heard rumors about it. Well, from Gary anyways." Misty replied.

"What rumors?" Jessie and James asked.

"That island is Mirage Island. It appears once a year but then it vanishes. No one know why but it is supposed to be full of Rare Pokemon and Berries." Gary replied.

"Hmmmm … then the Twin Terrors must be on that island. You must be nuts to avoid an island if it has rare pokemon." James replied.

"But maybe this island will scare them away." Jessie suggested.

"I really doubt that. If you guys aren't scared by this silly curse, then they won't be either."

The group turned around and there was Domino. The group wondered where Domino had gone. They hadn't seen her ever since the Pidgeot Jet was shot down a couple weeks ago. Domino looked around and noticed two new people but she didn't see Ash or Meowth. Domino scratched her head. Had Ash and Meowth been captured or was there something more?

"Hey! Where is Meowth and Ash? And who are these two people?" Domino asked.

"Well, Ash is going to different dimensions with Meowth to find powerful monsters to help beat The Twin Terrors plus Sanfra." Jessie explained.

"Sanfra? You mean we have another threat to worry about." Domino asked.

"Make that four threats or six. According to an amateur filmmaker, he has seen one more human and two monsters. I am guessing that human is another Venema and the monsters are allies of The Twin Terrors. But that isn't what interests me." Brock said.

"What does interest you?" Domino asked.

"The two monsters were described as a dragon and a weird looking cat creature. Now I think I know what we are dealing with. The Two Monsters are Rayquaza and Mewtwo." Brock explained.

"Mewtwo? Why would he help Team Rocket? He is trying to get away from Giovanni?" Misty asked.

"Long story but it seems that we have a bigger problem on our hands. I hope that twerp … I mean Ash brings back powerful creatures to help us take down the Twin Terrors and company." James said.

"Creatures? What sort of creatures?" Domino asked.

"Not now. This village is freaked enough about that mysterious island. Let's not spread more fear." Lorelei replied.

"I agree let's get over to the island pronto." Jenova said while releasing some of his water pokemon.

The group formed two rafts since they probably need more than one to get all of them over to the island. Lorelei, Misty and Jenova tied their water pokemon to the rafts. Everyone carefully got onto the rafts. Jenova gave the signal and the water pokemon headed over to the island. Just about at the same time, a small ship with the Venemas headed over to the mysterious island. Mewtwo and Rayquaza flew over to check if any danger was happening. Both groups headed from different directions to different parts of the island so both groups were left unprepared.

"I wonder if we will run into the twerps." Trevor asked.

"You never know. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get." Arthura "Gesper" Venema said.

"Brother, I like you very much, but you have got to stop watching Forest Gump." Sanfra said.

"Is it my fault that it is so inspirational?" Arthura asked.

"Never mind. Let's not argue. We should focus on the task at hand." Max replied.

Yes, we should find some shelter until it is time and continue on with our journey. Mewtwo said.

But we shouldn't stay too long unless you want to be stranded just like those people on that desert island. Rayquaza replied.

"Oh you must mean the people from Survivor. Don't worry they get off eventually." Trevor assured Rayquaza.

Survivor? Who said I was talking about Survivor? I was talking about those people on that TV show Gulligan's Island. Rayquaza replied.

All four Venemas and Mewtwo sighed as they reached the island. Neither of the villains noticed that Rayquaza had wondered off. On the other side, our heroes and heroines were sighing not in boredom but in relief that they finally reached the island. Both sides got on the island and headed in the same direction. The same direction that would allow them to cross paths but there was a special part about Mirage Island. Sometimes not everything there is what it seemed, but that's what the rumors suggested.

"Do you think we will cross paths with the Twin Terrors and their siblings plus those two Pokemon?" Jenova asked.

"We will never know unless we try." Lorelei responded back.

The two groups crossed the island but surprisingly they never ran into each other. Beside the unusual disappearing act the island had, it also had another special ability. Although it did contain rare items, they were sometimes hidden. Basically, the island shielded something from visitors. So while the two groups were in the same area, neither group saw each other because of the magic. Brock picked some berries and examined the Wynauts. When the group was ready to go, both sides were happy since they weren't in danger. The Twerps and company set off to find the Twin Terrors and The Venema group plus pokemon went to find another hiding spot.

Meanwhile Ash, Meowth and the rest of their group had arrived in the real world. Ash had decided to take up Meowth's advice and find a pokemon that can contain two creatures. He felt that he would need it in the near future. Meowth and Ash went to a Pokemon Mart and asked for any special pokeballs. Meowth asked for the same pokeball that he did a couple months ago. The owner of the Poke mart gave Ash the pokeball and said it was free of charge. Then Ash along with Meowth exited the shop. Pikachu was happy to see Ash and so was Guilmon.

"So Ashmon, do you have the pokey ball thingy?" Guilmon asked.

"First of all, my name is Ash, not Ashmon. And second of all, it is called a Poke Ball. Although, it should be call a Digi/Duel Ball if I am going to store both Digimon and Duel Monsters." Ash explained.

"Well, I can't wait for us to Bio-Merge together." Guilmon said cheerfully.

"Yeah, I will be waiting for that day that will happen," Ash said to Guilmon and turned to Meowth, "hey Meowth, do you remember the portal to the Shadow Realm?"

"Yes, I do but I can't come with you. If we are going to get all the help we need, I thought I would get Exveemon to his highest level." Meowth explained.

"Yeah, if I could become Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, these Venemas wouldn't stand a chance against my awesome power." Exveemon commented.

"If you want to know, there is a portal somewhere around here. I found a portal around here when I came back. It might take you some time to find it but you will find it. Well bye Twerp, Guilmon and Pikachu. Come on Exveemon and Slyfer the Sky Dragon. Time for us to head for the Digital World." Meowth said.

And Meowth headed off in one direction while Ash, Pikachu and Guilmon headed in another direction. Ash wasn't actually certain where the portal was but if Meowth could find it that easily, he could two. Ash asked his fellow monsters to sniff around the area. Guilmon was good at sniffing. According to Takato, Guilmon could easily find a Digimon by just using its nose. Now that sounded hard to believe but it wasn't impossible.

"Guilmon, I hate to say it but we are searching for a portal not Digimon." Ash replied.

"I know, Ashmon but maybe Duel Monsters smell the same as Digimon … and maybe the portal leading to this Shadow Realm does too." Guilmon replied back.

Ash sighed and watched his companion sniff the ground. Ash wondered where Slyfer was because it didn't go with Meowth and Exveemon. Slyfer seemed to be a very powerful creature. Could these Duel Monsters be even powerful than Pokemon and Digimon combined? Could a combination of Digimon, Pokemon and Duel Monsters give the Venemas a run for their money? Suddenly, Ash felt a tapping on his shoulder. He turned around and saw nothing.

"Guilmon, I appreciate that we are supposed to be friends but there is no time for fun."

"Ashmon, I am not tapping your shoulder." Guilmon said while sniffing the ground.

"But if you aren't then … who is?" Ash said as he whipped around.

Ash turned face to face with Slyfer and Rayquaza. Ash was kind of confused why Slyfer wasn't with Meowth and why Rayquaza was staring at him. Ash backed away. He had the reason to run all cowardly but he had to face his fears. He couldn't … never mind he thought, better to freak out now than later.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ash screamed.

Calm down! I am on your side. Yes, I was accompanying the Rockets but only to check-up on them. Personally, they are just as bad as Team Aqua or Team Magma. I will alert the other legendaries to keep an eye on them. I have to get back before they get suspicious. Rayquaza said.

Before Ash could answer, Rayquaza was gone in a flash. This mission was getting weirder and weirder but he couldn't complain. They needed the hall they needed. Guilmon stuck his head up and pointed towards an area. Ash walked to the area with Slyfer following him behind. Ash felt the area and a portal opened. Ash hoped it was the right portal.

"Well, I guess there is no time like the present." Ash thought as the four of them stepped through the portal.

The group had arrived at a beautiful landscape. At first, Ash thought this was the Shadow realm but it didn't seem creepy enough. He looked around and saw a couple of people around a river. Or what he thought we people. There was this weird person with dog-ears and what it looked like … claws instead of hands. Ash had read about mythology and he knew that was a demon. Ash ran back towards the portal with Pikachu, Guilmon, and Slyfer followed behind. The portal opened and the group disappeared. Inuyusha was wondering what that was about.

"Kagome, did you know those humans and creatures?" Inuyusha asked.

"No, but I think you should focus on cleaning your claws than worrying about something that is unimportant." Kagome said.

"Fine, bite my head off why don't ya! I am cleaning, I am cleaning." Inuyusha said as he dipped his claws in the river.

Ash and his pals took a breather once they reached their world. Ash didn't know what that world was but it wasn't the Shadow Realm. Ash asked Guilmon to start sniffing again because maybe the second portal would lead them to the Shadow Realm. Guilmon started to sniff while Ash tapped his foot up and down. It took a few minutes later but Guilmon had found another portal.

"Hopefully, this is the correct portal." Ash thought.

The group stepped through it. Once again, it seemed like a nice normal place but instead of a beautiful landscape, it was more urban and modern. Plus they were on a hill next to a river. Maybe the Shadow Realm took on different forms. Slyfer flew up to observe the area while Ash, Pikachu and Guilmon sat down. Suddenly, there was a noise and all three turned around. Two humans and a yellow creature came around the corner near the river. Neither Ash nor Guilmon recognized the yellow creature. Ash was the first to speak up.

"Excuse me, what is that?" Ash asked.

"This is my Medabot. I call him Medabee. It is a sort of type of robot. Oh this is my reporter friend." Iggy said.

"So you are a robot. Compared to Machinedramon, you are a just a piece of scrap metal." Guilmon said.

"Why you … brain sized dinosaur! I will teach you a lesson." Medabee said angrily.

"Did your robot just talk?" Ash asked with a shudder.

"And did your dinosaur just talk?" Iggy asked back.

Suddenly both sides ran as fast as they could. Iggy, his Medabot and his reporter friend ran towards the school while Ash, Pikachu, Slyfer and Guilmon ran towards the portal. They appeared back where they started. All three with the exception of Slyfer were talking a breather. First demons and talking robots, Ash thought, boy we must be the luckiest group in the world. Ash decided to take a 5-minute break and then start looking again. Guilmon must be exhausted from that entire running but it wasn't.

"Come on Guilmon, even you need to take a 5-minute break." Ash replied.

"Ashmon, I am full of energy. There is no weary for the rest." Guilmon replied.

"First of all, it is no rest for the weary. Second of all, it is Ash, not Ashmon. Having you be around Takato's Guilmon was a bad idea because he apparently has rubbed off his traits on you." Ash sighed.

"Yeah, I know. I have found it. I think this is the one." Guilmon said while point to an area close to the last portal.

"Well, third times the charm, as they say it all of this big world." Ash said with a sigh.

The group stepped through a portal and entered a dark realm. With the exception of Slyfer, the rest of the group got chills down their spine. This realm was not dark but it was gothic. It didn't seem like a place where anybody would like to live. Ash wandered around with Pikachu on his shoulder. Even the bravest of his Pokemon was scared. Ash realized that this had to be the Shadow Realm but he had to make sure.

"Slyfer, is this the Shadow Realm?

Slyfer nodded its Dragonhead and the group stared around. Now it was time to find a Duel Monster to accompany with Ash back to the Pokemon world. Ash needed a powerful creature like Slyfer. He needed some that stop The Twin Terrors for good. As the group proceeded on with Slyfer taking up rear guard, Ash could imagine what terrible creatures he would meet in this dark and gothic realm but he had to keep his courage up. If he didn't keep his courage up, his whole world was doomed. So the group kept walking further into the Shadow Realm looking for Ash's Duel Monster companion.
