"Incredible! The Sinnoh Grand Festival Champion has been defeated by the runner-up! May and Dawn made it through the semifinals!"
May's Blaziken and Dawn's Piplup celebrated as the audience cheered. They have just knocked down Roserade and Glameow.
"I can't believe it!" Zoey exclaimed in shock, "They beat us?!"
"No way!" Drew gasped.
"We did it!" May and Dawn cheered in unison.
"We're going to the finals!" May said excitedly.
"Gimme high five!" Dawn exclaimed as she and May give each other a high five with May laughing happily.
"Yay mommy and Dawn!" Manaphy cheered.
"Nice going, girls!" Donald congratulated his two pupils, "I told you we can work hard!"
After returning their pokémon to their pokéballs, Zoey and Drew walked up to their respective rivals as the former said with a smile, "Congratulations, Dawn! You were spectacular!"
"Never thought you two had it in ya." Drew confessed honestly.
"Thanks, Zoey, Drew." May said with a smile, "Donald was training us really well."
"Your pokémon are really strong!" Zoey and Drew's coach, Marie the Cat, exclaimed in amazement as she walked up to the winners.
"Yeah." May agreed, "Ever since I won the Johto Grand Festival, I've been working hard to get my pokémon even better."
"I won the Johto Grand Festival, too, May." Dawn remarked.
"That's another thing we have in common."
"Well, good luck in the finals." Zoey said.
"Yeah, you're gonna need it." Drew added.
"Thanks, you guys." Dawn said before the rivals walked away.
"I'll stay with you guys and cheer you on." Marie informed them.
"Thank you, Marie." May said before she sighed sadly, "Too bad Ash and the others aren't here to see this."
"Hey, girls!" A voice called out from the audience. May's group, Donald and Marie turned and saw a familiar white-haired boy with his group, "Sorry we're late!"
"Yeah, you can start the championship now!" Marik added.
"Marik! Bakura!" May exclaimed.
"And Michael Jackson?!" Dawn asked in surprise and excitement.
"Well, at least we got some support." May remarked. This is just enough for her and Dawn to keep going in the Grand Festival.

At a place that looked almost exactly like a football stadium, a bunch of people were entering the building. Some people that are currently standing by outside were Ash and Ami along with Pikachu and Tekirai.
"Wow!" Ash exclaimed in amazement, "The Walt Disney World Pokémon League!"
"This is it, Ash!" Ami said excitedly, "Your big chance of winning the Pokémon League!"
"You said it, Ami! I'm gonna win this!" Ash said confidently.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu agreed, feeling the same as Ash.
"Ash! Pikachu!" A voice exclaimed. Ash and Pikachu turned towards the source of the voice and saw, to their surprise, a purple-haired trainer walking up to them, Ami and Tekirai along with a familiar lookalike of Ash, whom the voice came from. "I was hoping you guys would turn up!"
"Trip! Paul! Richie! Sparky!" Ash exclaimed in surprise and delight, "You're participating here, too?"
"Of course we are, and we were hoping you would show up." Trip replied with a smile.
"We did, all right, though we had to break in." Ami explained sheepishly.
"Oh, that's all right." Trip said with a wave of his hand before he leaned to Ash as he said softly, "To be honest, Paul and I snuck in, too."
"But we don't mind, because battling you was fun." Paul remarked, remembering the times Ash participated against him, Richie and Trip in the Sinnoh League, Kanto League and Unova League, respectively.
"Yeah, I know." Ash agreed, "I'm so excited to participate in the Pokémon League that I wanna go in there now!"
"Not so fast, Ash." Trip said as he raised his hand, "There's something you should know before you go in."
"Really? What is it?" Ash asked in confusion.
"You need eight badges to go in there." Richie replied.
"You mean I have to find eight Pokémon gyms and win their badges?!" Ash asked in exasperation, "That could take all day!"
"I can't wait that long!" Ami whined. What could Ash and Pikachu do?
"Badges!" A voice called out, getting the trainers, pokémon, Ami, rock star and white cat's attention. It came from a blond-haired teenage boy who was standing at a sheltered booth. With him was a girl with long, red hair. They are known as Jonny Quest and Jessie Bannon, wearing Walt Disney World employee outfits as they gave away pokémon badges. "Get your set of eight Pokémon Badges right here! You wanna participate in the Walt Disney World Pokémon League? Get your eight Pokémon Badges! How 'bout some badges, sir?" He asked the last sentence to an incoming trainer.
Recognizing the two employees, Ash's group, Richie, Sparky, Paul and Trip walked up to them as Ash said with a smile, "Hiya, Jonny, Jessie!"
"Oh, hey, Ash, guys." Jonny greeted as he and Jessie noticed the group approaching.
"How's business?" Ash asked.
"Going good, as usual." Jessie replied, "So, you gonna participate in the Pokémon League?"
"You bet I do!" Ash replied excitedly, "I want eight badges!"
"I want eight badges, too!" Richie agreed.
"Give me a set as well." Paul said.
"And me, too." Trip added.
"Sure thing, you guys." Jonny confirmed as he gave the four trainers each a case containing eight badges.
"You guys are lucky, because this Pokémon League is a tag team tournament!" Jessie said with a smirk.
"A tag team tournament? Sweet!" Ash exclaimed with a grin.
"The grand prize for the winners of this tournament is a whopping $500,000!" Jonny said with a wink.
"Five hundred thousand dollars?!" Ash, Ami and Richie asked in shock.
"That's a lot!" Ami exclaimed in amazement.
"I know, right?" Jonny agreed as he grinned.
"You know what? I'd rather face Ash than team up with him again." Paul confessed, "I wanna see how better he got since the last time we fought."
"That's okay, Paul. I feel the same way." Ash nodded.
"Hey, Paul. You and I have some things in common." Trip remarked, "And that includes wanting to beat Ash and see how strong he's gotten. How about you team with me?"
"Sure, why not?" Paul said with a smile, "Can't wait to see your pokémon."
Seeing this as an opportunity, Richie spoke to Ash in an eager tone, "Oh, oh! Hey, Ash! Can I be your partner?"
"Sure!" Ash replied with a grin, "I always wanted to do a tag battle with you!"
"Pikachu!" Sparky exclaimed happily.
"Pika pika!" Pikachu squeaked as he and Sparky took each other's paws in a confident way.
"This'll be exciting!" Ami said eagerly.
"Let's go!" Ash cheered.
"Uh-uh-uh-uh! Not so fast." Jessie said, "You two teams need a coach."
"A coach?" Ash asked in confusion.
"Oh, we know about that." Paul said with a smirk, "And Trip and I know just the guy to coach us."
"Scrooge McDuck." Trip added.
"Whoa, Scrooge McDuck?" Ash asked in awe.
"Pretty good choice for you two." Ami remarked.
"But where are we gonna find a coach?" Richie asked in confusion.
"Good question, Richie." Ash replied.
Just then, as a cute giggle was heard, the boy felt a tap on his shoulder, causing him to turn around and see the source of the giggling; a costumed character of a black-furred mouse with large rounded ears, a peach-colored muzzle, red lipstick and a thin pencil-like tail. The mouse wore a pink bow with white polka dots, a matching pink dress, and yellow high heel shoes.
"Wow!" Ash exclaimed in shock and excitement upon seeing the character, "Minnie!"
Yes, it was Minnie Mouse, one of Disney's most sensational divas.
"Hi, boys!" Minnie greeted happily.
"Are you our coach?" Richie asked excitedly.
"Uh-huh!" Minnie replied with a nod.
"Awesome!" Ash cheered.
"Well, then, you're all ready for the Pokémon League. Good luck, trainers!" Jonny said to Ash, Richie, Paul and Trip.
"Thanks, Jonny!" Ash nodded.
"See you in the League, Ash." Paul challenged the Orange League champion with a smirk.
"And you better not lose before facing us." Trip added as he and Paul walked towards the Disney Pokémon League.
"You can count on it, Trip!" Richie said confidently.
"Come on, guys!" Ash shouted to his group, now including Richie and Sparky.
"Right!" Ami and Richie said in unison.
"Let's go!" Minnie said as she and Ash's group ran towards the entrance. This will no doubt be the best experience yet for Ash and Pikachu.

Annika, Tommy, Applebloom, Rebecca, Anna, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Babs Seed and Jenny Foxworth are near a familiar kennel while looking around. They had managed to get off the monorail and were looking for signs of Pippi and the others.
"Hmm. This doesn't look like the Magic Kingdom." Applebloom said as she looked around.
"Nope. Not at all." Scootaloo remarked.
"Ohh, why did I have to be separated from Yugi?" Rebecca cried, "I don't wanna go to the Magic Kingdom without him!"
"Don't worry, Rebecca. We'll find him." Tommy assured the blond-haired duelist.
"But we're in the middle of nowhere! We need a sign! A hint! Anything!" Rebecca shouted before she sat down on a bench with a sigh.
Just then, a costumed character of a yellow dog with a green color walked up to Rebecca and barked, getting the group's attention.
"Rebecca! Look!" Annika exclaimed as he pointed to the yellow dog behind Rebecca.
"Huh? Pluto?" Rebecca asked in surprise as she turned and saw the character, "What're you doing here?" The dog, Pluto, barked a bit in reply. "Not now, Pluto, we're waiting for a sign." The dog whimpered and barked some more as he pulled on her shirt a bit, "Wait, what's that? You know where the Magic Kingdom is?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Pluto replied in his usual way as he nodded before he headed off.
"That's great!" Applebloom exclaimed, "Come on! I think he wants us to follow him!"
"I hope Yugi and the others get there before we do." Rebecca said hopefully.
"They better!" Sweetie Belle remarked in concern, "I don't wanna go to the kingdom without Yuya!"
"Or me without Yuma!" Anna added.
"Let's go." Tommy said as he and the rest started following Pluto.
-
Inside the kennel, there was a bar for not only dogs, but cats and other pets, too. They were all busy having fun, socializing with each other, playing different games, etc. with other pets. Among the pets in the crowd were Luna, Artemis, Poppy and Mamahaha.
"Wow, Artemis, this place is quite fascinating!" Luna exclaimed in amazement.
"I know. It's really comfy once you get used to it." Artemis said.
"Hey, quiet! Quiet, ya guys!" One of the dogs called out, getting everyone's attention, "The dog demon's gonna sing!" As the dog spoke, many of the pets immediately shushed each other.
Then, Inuyasha started playing the piano as he announced, "And now, ladies and gentlemen, live from the Walt Disney World Pet Care Center, it's show time!" Kagome was standing next to the piano, wearing a red showgirl dress as she started dancing.
Inuyasha: Well, it will take an awful lot of clouds
To rain on my parade
Many cats and dogs, including Charlie, Itchy, the Downtown Dogs, Astro, Buttons, Krypto, Ace the Bat Hound, the Pound Puppies, the Pound Purries, Poppy, Streaky, Oliver and Isis, were listening as he continued to sing. Mamahaha was watching as she was on a perch.
Lapping lemonades
Man, I got it made
Soon, a dog named Nova came to Inuyasha as he continues his song.
I've got a brand new bone to call my own
And all the bills to pay
I'm so glad I stayed
Oh, I'm dogging it
Dogs: Woof! Woof! Woof!
Some of the dogs were playing poker as they sang.
Dogs: Now he don't mind if people call him lazy
Whopper: Woof! Woof!
Dogs: If they don't see his highway his way,
That's just crazy
Inuyasha: You know that we could just pass the day away
Just barking up a tree
Howler then barked to the sleeping Reflex, making him wake up.
It's the life for me
I'm dogging it
Dogs: Woof! Woof! Woof!
A few dogs, one of them named Cooler, was playing pool with a few others.
Now when you look at that doggone man, oh, man
You say she-bop-she-bop-she-bam-she-bam
The balls broke as they continued.
You got knack 'em and just back them in their master plan
My, my, my
A ball fell down as Inuyasha sang.
Inuyasha: I got a real cool deal with lady luck
I got the creeps and smiles with just a buck
I've got the rhythm and I'm living it up
Because I'm
All: Fine, fine, fine
Inuyasha: If you want to hear, let's make it clear
I wish you all the best
Filled with happiness
Oh, I'm dogging it
Dogs: Woof! Woof! Woof!
The four playing cards sang as well.
Kagome, Cats and Dogs: He's doggin' it
Dogs: Woof! Woof! Woof!
Inuyasha: Oh, I'm dogging it
The dogs panted a bit, looking at the dog demon.
Dogs: They've dogged it
Nose Marie howled as they looked at her.
Inuyasha: And you know we could pass the day away
All: My, my, my
The dogs howled as Inuyasha chuckled, "Thanks, guys!"
"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Kagome said happily as Inuyasha pet Nova, "Man, that was fun, Inuyasha!"
"Yeah! Now we better go back out there and find Sango, Miroku and the others." Inuyasha said.
"Right." Kagome nodded in agreement.
"Thanks, ya guys! See ya later!" Inuyasha called out to the dogs and cats as he and Kagome headed
off as Kagome went back to change to her regular clothes.

In an underground place of some sort, Edward, Alphonse, Winry and Rosé were a bit lost, so to speak.
"I wonder where this goes?" Rosé asked curiously.
"Maybe it's somewhere different from Tomorrowland." Winry assumed.
"Yeah. After all, we rode on Stitch's Great Escape." Alphonse said.
"And I can never get over that breath of Stitch's. Phew!" Edward exclaimed, remembering that part a bit too well. Just then, the group sees something as Edward said in delight, "Hey, look at that! I think we found someone you'd like to see, Al! Come on, this way."
"Right, brother." Alphonse said as he, Winry and Rosé followed the Fullmetal Alchemist.

On the Mad Hatter's Tea Cup Ride, a certain group is riding in it, having the time of their lives. Well, actually, Serena, Darien, Amy, Cosmo, Zooey and Keith were having fun only as they spun around in a tea cup while the poor Misty was getting dizzy really quickly.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Misty groaned as her face turned green.
"Hey, Serena! Try closing your eyes! It's cool!" Darien exclaimed as he rode on a teacup with a laughing Serena.
"Wheeeee!" Amy, Cosmo and Zooey exclaimed as she spun around with Keith and Misty.
"This is so much fun!" Keith laughed excitedly.
-
Meanwhile, Serenity's group and Princess Aurora arrived at Chef Mickey's. Once they went inside, they saw a group of costumed characters sitting at a big table. They are recognized as the following: Huey, Dewey, Louie, José Carioca, Panchito, Toulouse, Berlioz, Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Thumper, Miss Bunny, Prince Phillip, Flora, Fauna, Merryweather, Prince Naveen, Tiana, Bolt, Mittens, Rhino, Mulan, Shang, Mushu, Pinocchio, Wreck-It Ralph, Vanellope Von Schweetz, four Penguin Waiters, Elsa, Anna (A/N: To tell the difference, Frozen Anna will be referred to as Princess Anna.), Kristoff and Olaf.
"Hey, guys! Thanks for comin'!" Joey said to the characters with a grin, who all waved happily at him and the group.
"Aloha, guys!" Stitch shouted with a grin.
"Hi!" Angel greeted as she waved.
"Hey, everyone!" Lilo said as she waved happily to them.
"Wow!" Serenity exclaimed with a smile, "How nice!"
Aurora smiled as she said to Serenity, "Well, you got your wish, princess. Shall we start the party?"
"Yeah!" Joey exclaimed.
"Now, let's see." Mai said as she picked up a menu and looked at it, "Strawberry ice cream, and some strawberry cupcakes, too."
"Order what you want, friends." One penguin waiter said.
"There'll be no bill." Another penguin added.
"It's complimentary!" The four penguins exclaimed in unison.
"Aww, how very kind of you." Blair said happily.
"Anything for you and the Princess of the Day, Miss Flannigan." One of the penguins said.
"Hey, y'all!" Tiana said as she walked up to Serenity's group with a tray holding a hot fudge sundae and strawberry ice cream, "Your desserts are on the house."
"Hey, thanks, Tiana!" Duke said with a smile.
"Come on, then, guys! Let's eat!" Jesse [Andersen] said eagerly.
"Yay!" Cream, Shaion, Yuli, Tate, Ally and Frederick cheered happily.
"Aw, yeah!" Jesse [Wheeler] whooped.
Most of the group were then about to start eating.
"Wait!" Serenity said, causing everyone to stop instantly as they looked at her.
"What is it, Serenity?" Téa asked.
"Is there a problem?" Gong Strong asked in confusion.
A sad look came on Serenity's face as she turned to Aurora and asked, "I changed my mind. Can I please have my wish back?" This surprised her group a bit. They didn't expect her to say that.
"What's wrong, sis?" Joey asked in concern.
"Isn't this what you wanted?" Mai asked.
"It's awesome, but it'll be even more awesome if Yugi, Pippi and the others were here." Serenity replied sadly.
This got sad looks of realization on Serenity's group's faces as Joey said, "Oh, yeah. That's right. The party really would be a bigger blast if Yuge was here."
"And Jaden, too." Syrus sighed.
"And Yusei." Akiza added.
"And Yuma." Tori sighed.
"And Yuya." Ally remarked.
"And Pippi." Cream added sadly.
"And Ash, May, Dawn and the rest." Sereena moped.
Serenity's group all sighed sadly as they sat at the table while Olaf pat Serenity on the back in comfort as the rest of the Disney characters in the tea party looked at Serenity and her friends in concern.
Huey thought about this before he turned to his brothers as he said, "Dewey, Louie, we gotta find Yugi, Pippi and the others, and I think Goofy can help us."
"Right!" Dewey nodded.
"Don't worry, Princess!" Louie said to Serenity, getting her and her group's attention, "We'll find your friends!"
"Let's go!" Huey shouted as he, Dewey and Louie ran off to get Goofy and find Yugi, Pippi and the others.
"I hope they know what they're doing…" Serenity said hopefully before she looked down sadly again.
"Yeah. I hope so, too." Jesse [Andersen] said.
-
Of course, Serenity and her friends weren't the only ones feeling sad. Near Cinderella's castle, Pippi sighed sadly as he, Yami Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma, Yuya, Phoenix, Apollo and Athena kept on walking. They searched every nook and cranny of Walt Disney World, and they still haven't found their friends or any trace of them.
"Man, all our friends are enjoying themselves." Pippi groaned, "We looked everywhere for them."
"Yeah. Now we lost Rebecca, Anna [Kaboom], Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, Tommy, Annika, Scootaloo, Babs Seed and Jenny Foxworth, too." Yami Yugi said sadly.
"This isn't fair. We're missing Pippi, Nitro, Zoomer, Blitz, Meryl, Sonia and Manic's birthday party in Knothole Village." Yusei said sadly, "And we're missing the fun stuff at the party, too."
"Aw, come on, guys!" Jaden said as he tried to cheer the rest of his group up, "You're supposed to have fun in Disney World, not be sad."
"Jaden, why do you always have to look on the bright side?" Phoenix asked in slight annoyance.
"Somebody has to." Jaden replied with a shrug.
"Good point, but still." Yuma moped.
"Aw, come on, Jaden's right." Yuya assured, "We'll find them. Sure, it's a big park, but I'm sure we'll find them. I hope..."
Phoenix sighed at this before he said, "What a disappointment. And I thought being without Scootaloo was bad enough. And I'm not talking negative about this place."
Unknown to Pippi's group, a girl overheard what they were saying and walked up to them. The girl wore a yellow/orange checker patterned kimono that extended to her ankles and brown sandals. The girl's name was Rin.
"Yeah. To think that I've been dreaming about this day for years." Pippi said sadly, "I guess there are dreams that bigger than mine."
"Aw, Pippi." Jaden said, "Don't be such a downbeat. We'll find them. I know we will."
Rin tapped Pippi on the shoulder, causing him to turn and see her. She asked the blue hedgehog, "What is your dream?"
"Uh, excuse me?" Pippi asked in confusion.
"I heard what you and the guys said. What is your dream?"
Pippi sighed as he looked away, "Oh, nothing. We were just talking to each other."
Rin got a look of concern on her face. She knew what it's like to be sad about something (she should know), and she should at least help the hedgehog and his friends. "But you guys look so sad. How come?"
"Well, little girl, it's like this." Phoenix replied, "Pippi was hoping his friends, the others we lost, would like his birthday party in Knothole Village, and they hated it. Well, a couple of them, anyway."
"Yeah. But I think Misty and Max are right to hate the party." Pippi groaned, "Just a silly dream."
"But Lady Kaede said you should never ever give up on your dream." Rin said.
"Well, did she ever tell you not to speak to strange hedgehogs?" Pippi asked as he frowned.
"Or strangers, above all." Yami Yugi added.
Rin smiled as she said, "There's a song you should know. It has a message for you."
"Now you're gonna sing me a song?"
Rin nodded in reply as she and Pippi's group walk down the road. The little girl then began to sing.
Rin: Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
This got Pippi's group there as they gasp.
"I don't believe this." Pippi said in surprise. He recognized the song somewhere before.
"That song!" Yami Yugi exclaimed as a hologram of Yugi was seen next to him, also looking shocked.
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
Pippi kept frowning as Rin noticed. Then she continued to sing, hoping he would be cheer up.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Pippi paused a bit as the six stopped. Pippi smiled as he said, "Ya know, I think I remember this song."
"Me too." Phoenix said.
"Whoever sung that song first must've been a wise person." Rin said.
"Actually, he was a frog, who I'm friends with." Pippi admitted.
"Sing with me!"
"Why not?" Pippi said with a smirk before he began singing the familiar song himself as the rest of Pippi's group watched.
Pippi: Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Pippi chuckled as he danced with Rin, both of them smiling as they do so.
All of us under its spell,
Rin: We know that it's probably magic...
They continued to sing while heading off with the rest of Pippi's group following.
Both: Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Pippi: Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
Both: I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
For the first time since he left Knothole Village for this theme park, Pippi smiled as he said, "Man. Ya know, this song does make me feel better.
Rin: The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Both: Laa, da daa dee da daa doo,
La laa la la laa dee daa doo...
Pippi smiled happily. He is feeling better. He said, "Thanks, kid. That song really helped us out. Ya know what? Jaden's right. We should stop moping around and find our friends so we can celebrate my birthday party!"
"That's the spirit!" Rin said happily as she pat the blue hedgehog's back.
"Ya see, guys?" Jaden asked with a smile, "I told you we have to think positive, no matter how bad the situation gets."
"Yeah!" Yuya agreed.
"You were right, Jaden, Yuya." Athena said as she smiled.
"As a matter of fact, I've been thinking about my party." Pippi said with a smirk, "Instead of having my party at Knothole Village, I'm thinking of having it right here at Walt Disney World!"
"Great idea, Pippi!" Yusei exclaimed with a smile.
"Perfect!" Yuma grinned.
"Awesome!" Yuya cheered.
"But what about the airboard races?" Yami Yugi asked.
"Have them here!" Pippi replied with a grin, "I think Jet and his gang would love to race in front of all the people here!"
"Too cool!" Jaden exclaimed, "That means a lot of fans will enjoy it!"
Phoenix smiled as he remarked, "It just can't get any better than this."
"Hey, Yugi!" A voice called out, getting Pippi's group and Rin's attention, "There you are!" They all turned and saw a costumed character of a tall anthro dog running towards them. The dog was wearing a green hat, an orange long-sleeved shirt with a brown vest, blue pants and brown shoes. It was Goofy. Right behind him were three familiar identical ducks.
"I told you they'd be here!" Huey exclaimed excitedly as he, Dewey and Louie ran with Goofy towards Pippi's group.
"W-What's Goofy doing here?" Yugi asked in shock.
"I-I don't know." Yami Yugi replied, feeling the same as Yugi.
"I think he's coming to hug you!" Phoenix exclaimed.
"Oh no!" Jaden said as he sweatdropped, knowing how big Goofy is.
"Oh boy. Here comes trouble." Yuto, Yuya's friend in hologram form, remarked nervously.
"Yipe!" Yuri, another counterpart of Yuya's in hologram form, yelped.
"Me too." Yugo, a third holographic counterpart of Yuya's, agreed, "Yipe!"
"Uh… a little help here?" Yami Yugi asked Yugi nervously, and then, in the blink of an eye, Yugi was instantly reverted from his Yami form, much to his surprise.
"Oh, yeah, that's real mature, Pharaoh!" Yugi yelled sarcastically. He couldn't believe that Yami Yugi just set him up like that!
"Where'd ya go, Yugi?" Goofy asked with a grin as he went up to Yugi.
As the dog asked that, noticing Goofy coming closer to him, Yugi held out his hands in a pathetic attempt to stop him as he cried, "No, wait! Wait!"
"Come here, ya little nut!" Goofy shouted as he grabbed Yugi (who screamed from it) and hugged him. Then the dog started giving him a noogie as he shouted, "Noogie, noogie, noogie, noogie!"
"We've been looking all over for you guys!" Dewey said as he, Huey and Louie stopped near Pippi's group, Rin and Goofy, who dropped Yugi.
"I've noticed." Yugi said dizzily as he moved around in a dizzy manner.
"Come on, secret handshake, Yuge!" Goofy said before he did an Egyptian symbol as he said, "Come on, put your hands up here! Come on, swing it, pal!" He did his trademark 'Ah-hyuck!' laugh at this.
Yugi recovered as he spoke, "Oh, oh, yeah. That's me, Yugi. Great to see you."
"I can't believe it! Huey, Dewey and Louie are here, too?" Jaden asked in surprise.
"What're you guys doing here?" Yusei asked.
"We went to find you for our Princess." Louie replied.
"Princess?" Phoenix asked in confusion, "You mean one of the Disney Princesses?"
"No, Serenity!" Huey, Dewey and Louie replied in unison.
"Serenity?!" Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma and Yuya asked in shock.
"You know where she is?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah, she's havin' lunch at Chef Mickey's along with her friends." Goofy explained.
"What luck!" Jaden exclaimed with a grin.
"Let's go, then!" Pippi said with a smirk.
"There they are! Get 'em!"
Pippi's group yelped as they saw Peking Duck pointing at them while coming towards them.
"Uh-oh! Don't look now, but here comes the flatfoot duck!" Yuma exclaimed. Rin, Goofy, Huey, Dewey and Louie gasped at this while noticing Peking Duck.
"Guys, I got an idea!" Yusei said a bit quickly, "Phoenix, Apollo, Athena, you go find Ash, Ami and their pets! Yugi, Jaden, Yuma, Yuya, you're going to Chef Mickey's with me!"
"Right!" Yugi said with a nod.
"I'll go find the others." Pippi said before he turned to Rin as he said, "Sorry, kid, but we gotta juice!" Then, he zipped away from Rin, who watched him do so.
"Yeah, gotta juice and cut it loose, as he said!" Yugi said quick as he, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma and Yuya ran off with Goofy, Huey, Dewey and Louie while Phoenix, Apollo and Athena ran down another road.
"This way!" Dewey shouted as he, Huey, Louie and Goofy led the way to Chef Mickey's.
Rin turned towards the camera as she said, "It's too bad they all had to leave, especially Pippi. I was gonna tell him it's not easy being green." She grinned at this.
"Rin." A voice said.
The girl looked towards the source of the voice and smiled in delight, for she saw a demon with long white hair, a toad-like demon wearing a brown kimono carrying a staff, and a boy wearing a black-and-sea-green demon exterminator uniform.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin exclaimed happily.
Yes, it was Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older half-brother along with Jaken and Sango's little brother, Kohaku.
"Where have you been?" Sesshomaru asked, "We have been looking all over for you."
"Yeah, you know better than to wander off alone like that!" Jaken shouted angrily.
"Jaken, shut up." Sesshomaru snapped as he glared at his servant.
"Y-Y-Yes, Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken said nervously.
"I was just talking to some friends and cheering them up." Rin replied.
"Oh, really?" Kohaku asked, "Who?"
"Four of them had strange-looking hairdos while the last one was a blue hedgehog." Rin replied.
"They must be friends with Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said, "Come, let's go find him and the others."
"Right." Rin said with a nod, and then, Sesshomaru's group walked off.

"We're really sorry you and your friends are sad, princess."
Aurora put her hand on Serenity's shoulder in comfort and sympathy. Serenity's group was still looking sad about their other friends not being here.
Just then, a familiar group came in as Goofy called out, "Here they are, princess!"
"Hey, guys!" Yami Yugi (transformed from Yugi again) said with a smile.
"Yugi!" Serenity cried happily.
"Jaden!" Blair cheered.
"Yusei!" Akiza exclaimed.
"Yuma!" Tori cried joyfully.
"Yuya!" Tate, Ally and Frederick cheered in unison as they and the rest of Serenity's group went over and most of them hugged Yami Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma and Yuya.
"Kids! Guys!" Yuya exclaimed as he hugged his Ally, Tate and Frederick happily.
"Boy, are we glad to see you!" Gong remarked with a smile as he pat Yuya roughly on the back.
"Yugi, where've ya been, my man?!" Joey asked with a grin as he hugged his best friend, "Man, I knew you'd come!"
"Guys, we were so worried about you." Jaden said.
"You know you can't barge into the park." Yusei said a bit sternly to Serenity's group.
"But Yusei, we wanted to get in badly." Leo said.
"Well, that's no excuse." Yami Yugi said, "We're gonna have a long talk about this when we all get back together."
"But I'm the princess." Serenity said, "And I was given this nice lunch treatment here at Chef Mickey's."
"I guess you weren't being the boss as we feared you might be." Yuya remarked.
"That means you've been good all day." Jaden added with a smile.
"Yeah." Serenity said, "We're sorry for breaking and entering. You guys wanna come into my party?"
"Sure, we'd love to. Thank you." Yami Yugi said with a smile, and with that said, he, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma, Yuya, Goofy, Huey, Dewey and Louie took their seats.
"Can you believe it?" Jaden asked Pinocchio, "We've been spending all day looking for our friends, and Serenity gets a party. I ask you, Pinoke, what's gonna happen next?"
"Beats me." Pinocchio replied as he shrugged.
"I'm so glad you're here, Yugi!" Cream said happily.
"Me too!" Lilo agreed.
"Ih!" Stitch nodded.
"Yeah!" Angel said likewise.
"Welcome, O great Kings of Games!" Judy greeted Yami Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma and Yuya with a smile.
"Thanks, you guys." Yami Yugi said with a smile.
After minutes of having their lunch, Rhino exclaimed happily, "Man, now, this feels great, like a birthday!"
"BIRTHDAY?!" Serenity's group (except Lilo, Stitch and Angel) yelled in shock and realization on hearing the word.
"What? What'd I say?" Rhino asked in confusion.
"Oh, Pippi's birthday!" Serenity cried, "Oh, my gosh, Pippi's gonna kill us!"
"The party was today?!" Lilo asked in surprise.
"It's still going on today, and that's what we're trying to tell them!" Jaden said.
"And the others are still missing!" Yusei added.
"Oh, I-I didn't know that!" Judy gasped.
"Hoo boy. Having fun yet forgetting about an important event. Bad idea." Nick remarked in concern.
"And they're out there in different areas of the park with the security guards chasing them!" Huey explained as he pointed outside Chef Mickey's.
"Then we mustn't dillydally!" Prince Phillip said, "We must go out and find the rest of the group that came here to Walt Disney World and bring them to the Magic Kingdom castle!"
"Come on, then, y'all! Let's go find them!" Tiana said.
With that said, Yugi's group (now including Serenity's group) and the Disney characters with them ran out to find the rest of the group that broke into Disney World.
-
In another area, Peking Duck was with Kaiba's group, which now includes Ken, Lili, Sherry [Belmont], Brago and Jon Ace.
"Listen, you got to help me find the Cartoon Zeroes." Peking Duck said.
"Heroes." Mokuba pointed out.
"Whatever." Peking Duck said.
"Listen, if you want to catch them, you got to keep your eyes out for anything strange and bizarre." Ken explained while the others snickered in amusement.
"Excuse us." A voice said. It came from a guy named Galford walking up along with Nakoruru, Kiyo, Zatch Bell, Megumi and Tia.
"Eyes open." Sherry [Belmont] said to Peking Duck.
"They are open!" Peking Duck snapped to Sherry [Belmont], not recognizing the two at first, which caused the blond-haired girl to sigh in annoyance.
"Where can two holy warriors like us and some Mamodo users like our friends here find some cool t-shirts with mice on them?" Nakoruru asked.
"Down the street over there on the right." Peking Duck explained as he pointed to a shop vendor selling stuff on the streets nearby.
"Thank you. Let's go, guys." Galford said to his group as they went down the street.
"Right behind you, Galford." Nakoruru said to her boyfriend.
"I can't wait to get some shirts!" Zatch said excitedly.
"Don't get too excited, Zatch." Kiyo said.
"I always wanted a Minnie Mouse shirt!" Tia said happily.
"I could go for a Minnie Mouse dress myself." Megumi commented with a smile.
"Man, strange kids they have here..." Peking Duck pauses, then his eyes widened in realization, "Wait a minute! Those were Cartoon Heroes!"
"You're right!" Mokuba exclaimed.
"Yeah. Slow, but right." Kaiba remarked with a smirk.
Then, Sherry [Belmont] did a double take as she looked at Galford's group walking off, especially two people in particular.
"Kiyo?! Megumi?!" Sherry [Belmont] asked in shock, "Guys, two of those Cartoon Heroes are my friends!"
"Didn't expect them to be here." Edgeworth remarked in an intrigued tone, "Shall we be off?"
Sherry [Belmont] nodded as she and the rest of Kaiba's group and Peking Duck run off to get Galford, Kiyo and their group.
Serena and Darien laughed as they and the rest of Amy's group got off Big Thunder Mountain. They had a major blast!
"That was a great ride! Huh, Serena?" Darien asked his girlfriend.
"Yeah! I wanna go on it again!" Serena cheered.
Of course, Misty growled as she has had enough. She rode on some thrill rides forcefully by her friends all day, and she is still nowhere near the Chinese Theater! Enough is enough.
"All right, you blockheads!" Misty yelled at her friends. "NO MORE THRILL RIDES!"
"But Misty, we haven't even been to Space Mountain yet, or Test Track, or Pirates of the Caribbean, or..." Darien started.
"No, no, no! You do not understand!" snapped Misty angrily. "We are now going straight to the Chinese Theater at the Hollywood lot, or else!"
"Yeah? Or else what, you party pooper?" Spectra asked with a frown.
"Or else this!" Misty snapped as she grabbed Amy's hammer.
"Hey!" Amy exclaimed before the redhead girl went to a pole and hit it with the hammer. As she came back, the rest of the group looked shocked and sweatdropped as the lamppost that the pole is holding fell onto the ground and shattered.
"Oh... or else that." Darien said in disbelief.
"Uh...okay. Come on, this way." Spectra said nervously as the group begin to lead a satisfied Misty to her destination.
A family was taking their picture with the fair Snow White, in another part of Walt Disney World. When the family left, Slam appeared behind her.
"Snow White!" roared Slam in delight. The princess gasped as she saw the Tasmanian devil, who grinned as he said to her, "Hi!" The princess ran as Slam shouted while chasing her, "SNOW WHITE!"
"Slam, get back here!" Danger shouted as he ran after Slam, "Oh, Ace is not gonna like this!"
"Slam, stop!" Tech E. shouted while joining the chase.
At a street in the Hollywood Studio lot, Peking Duck and the Seven Dwarves searched down a street, still looking for Pippi and the others while the spectators, especially the kiddies, watch.
"Forward, men! Keep your eyes open for anything suspicious!" Peking Duck ordered as his 'men' looked around. "Dopey! Keep your eyes on that side! The right way! Dopey!" He got annoyed as some of the Dwarves aren't even looking right as he shouted, "Come on, men! They're not on the ground, they're not in the sky! They're all around in here! You're top men, act like top men!"
One of Kaiba's swat team members, Maddy, looked at a figure and some tourists as she asked, "Excuse me, did any of you see which way a blue hedgehog went?"
"There." The figure replied as he pointed. The kids pointed the same direction giggling and joining in the fun.
"Thanks!" Maddy said as she ran to where the figure and the group pointed, "Come on, Dopey!"
Dopey came up and stopped for a moment, looking confused. The same figure in the audience pointed the same direction Maddy pointed as he said, "The hedgehog went that way." The audience pointed the same way again before Dopey then followed Maddy in the opposite direction.
"What the blooming heck are you guys doing?!" yelled Peking Duck as he chased after Dopey, Maddy and the Dwarves.
Once Peking Duck and his goons are gone while the kids watched, the figure revealed himself as none other than Pippi, who sighed in relief as he said, "Now I got to find my friends and tell them the big announcement about me and my sibs' birthday party. I'll start with May and Dawn."
But just before the hedgehog could take one step, he yelped as he was suddenly grabbed from behind by a familiar King of Games.
"Hey, let me go!" Pippi shouted as he struggled, thinking he was caught by the guard.
"Shhh, it's us." Yami Yugi shushed the blue hedgehog.
Recognizing him and a familiar group with him, Pippi exclaimed quietly, "Yugi! Jaden! Yusei! Yuma! Yuya!"
"Pippi!" The blue hedgehog turned and found himself hugged by two certain happy little girl rabbits (the voice coming from Cream) and chao.
"Cream! Cheese! Shaion! Dewdrop!" Pippi said with a smile.
"Hey, Pippi." A familiar voice greeted. It came from a smirking Shadow the Hedgehog along with Nightshade.
"Good to see you again." Nightshade said with a wink.
"Shadow! Nightshade!" Pippi exclaimed happily, "I thought I might find you!"
"Well, it appears that we found you." Shadow remarked.
Pippi smiled as he noticed a lot of the missing friends as he said, "Good work, guys! You found Shadow, Cream, Cheese, Nightshade, Shaion, Dewdrop, Joey and a lot of the others!"
"Yes, and we got some Disney friends with us." Jaden said, "They're all agreeing to help find the rest of the gang."
"And we know where May and Dawn are!" Lilo said, "They and a bunch of friends of theirs are at the Walt Disney World Grand Festival!"
"Where is it?" Pippi asked.
"This way!" Ralph replied as he pointed in a direction, "Follow us!"
"Let's go!" Yusei shouted, and then, he, Pippi and the rest of the current group headed off to find the others before Peking Duck and his goons would.
"Oh, I hope we're not too late!" Akiza remarked in concern.
