Sorry this took so long, and for it being so short after a long wait. Okay, a little overview of Yugi's powers. I was going to stop at them all being psychic, but I wanted to make sure he was more powerful then Atem (I can't stand it when he gets all the glory!) Anyway, here is a list of powers he has:
Telekinesis: the ability to move objects with the mind.
Telepathy: the ability to read the thoughts of others.
Teleportation: the ability to move from place to place just by thinking.
Pyrokinesis: the ability to start fires with the mind. (goes along with the fire elemental powers
Empathy: the ability to feel the feelings of others. ( he can also feel their presence when they're around him
Premonitions: the ability to see events in the future.
Psychic Barrier: a protective shield formed by psychic energy.
Invisibility: spreading of the molecules to become invisible.
Element of Earth: the control of plants, rocks, etc.
Element of Fire: the control over fire and heat. (here's where pyrokinesis comes in.
Element of Water: pulling moisture from the air.
Element of Air: menipulating oxygen to create whirlwinds. (it's also called 'wind', but I think 'air' gives a greater amount of abilities for this element.
Okay, so those are all his powers. Not all of them will show up in this chapter, but they will in others. Enjoy!

Yugi took in a deep breath. Today he was going to start his draining. Tamnus had told him that Orious the Centaur He looked at his friends. They were all excited to see what Yugi could do. As they talked amongst themselves, he could hear their every thought and to be honest, it was a power he was starting to feel that he could live without …
'Gee, I hope Yugi isn't too powerful for his own good. He may be a ticking time bomb.' Tea thought, all too clearly for Yugi to hear. He was kind of nervous to find out that his friend thought of him as a threat. It also hurt him a bit, but he could see where she was coming from. He was scared he would destroy himself as well.
'Man, the things Yugi's put us through so far have been weird, but this must be the weirdest of all!' He heard from Tristan. That one hurt. Another friend thought of him as a freak … was that what they all thought?
'Damn … I'm hungry.' Yugi heard as he scanned Joey's thoughts. He smiled to himself. No conflict there. Then he moved on to Atem's thoughts.
'Yugi is not ready for this … he won't be able to survive.' If he thought all the other thoughts hurt, this one hit home. How could someone who he trusted and cared for the most not have any confidence in him? Yugi started to hyperventilate, and put his hands on his head. As the others kept speaking to each other, their thoughts started to run together. Noise … too much noise! It needed to stop.
"STOP THINKING SO MUCH!" The three friends stared at their smallest friend, who seemed to be in a lot of pain. Atem was immediately at his side.
"Yugi, are you alright?" Yugi did not answer. He started to sweat and his breathing became labored. Now he was hearing the thoughts of other people besides just his friends. The noise was too much.
"Shut up … everyone just shut up!" He said to himself, tears falling from his eyes. Atem tried to shake him awake.
"Yugi!"
"Stop the noise … stop it!"
"Yugi, wake up … what's wrong?" Then suddenly, as Atem tapped Yugi on the shoulder one more time, a sparkling yellow barrier flashed out of nowhere, sending Atem flying across the training field. Joey, Tea and Tristan went to help the flying Pharaoh and gazed at Yugi as the yellow dome-like barrier continued to protect the psychic teen. "We have to help him!" Joey shrugged.
"Yeah, but how? That barrier will toss anyone who touches it!" As Yugi continued to scream, a large shadow covered his small form. It was none other then the holy lion himself.
"Aslan!" Tea announced with enthusiasm. Aslan was somehow able to penetrate the golden barrier that formed around Yugi's body and nuzzled his soft cheek.
"Relax, Little Prince. Think of all those thoughts as files and put them into storage." Yugi tried to focus on Aslan's voice inside of his head. He tried to listen to the advice and calm his body and mind. One by one, the voices started to leave his thoughts. When all foreign thoughts were out of his mind, the barrier around the boy disappeared. Aslan continued to comfort Yugi until the pain of his telepathy passed. "Hush, Child; all is well now." Yugi returned the nuzzle.
"Thank you …" He whispered. Atem was steaming mad now. Only he should be allowed to comfort Yugi like that. Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted as the sound of heavy hooves running on the grassy plain came to him. Orious had gathered a few supplies from the palace and said he would meet them at the fields. There was a quiver of arrows and one of the arrows was lit with fire. After Orious set things up, he asked if Joey, Tea, Tristan and Atem would please sit back and watch as he started Yugi's training.
"Now, we're going to start with the simplest of your abilities. As you have already found out, you have all types of psychic powers. However, if you do not learn to channel those powers carefully, they could be used against you. To keep better control over them, I recommend you meditate for twenty minutes each night. Now, your telepathy must be focused easily. This goes along with your empathy powers." Yugi raised a brow.
"'Empathy powers'?" Orious nodded
"Meaning that you have the ability to feel the presence of others, and feel what they feel as well. Your meditation will help you control that power." Yugi nodded in understanding. "For right now, let us focus on your telekinesis. This will allow you to pick up objects of any size with your mind." Yugi nodded, blowing the single strand of blonde hair out of his face, causing a few sparks of psychic energy to appear. "Now, I want you to pick up that quiver of arrows." Orious said while pointing to the object he wanted Yugi to levitate. Yugi looked at it. It was a big quiver, and it looked pretty heavy.
"You mean the whole thing?" Orious nodded. Yugi sighed in defeat. "Okay, I'll try." The small prince braced himself as he focused on the quiver. He squint his eyes a bit but so far, nothing was happening. He concentrated harder, but still nothing happened. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion right next to him. Everyone screamed and gasped, hoping that Yugi was alright. "What just happened!" He yelled in panic.
"You must be careful when you focus. If you try too hard, you can cause things to explode." Yugi gasped. He thought back to the lamp in his room. That must have been why it exploded; he had been thinking too hard. "Young prince, you must relax your mind and try not to force it so much. If you believe in yourself, the power will come to you naturally." Orious smiled and winked at the little prince. Yugi smiled back.
"Okay." Yugi took a deep breath to calm himself before he looked at the quiver yet again. 'Just relax … you're a natural at this.' He thought to himself. Silently, Yugi commanded the quiver to come to him and to his surprise, it worked! Yugi was so happy that it worked. The quiver had a yellow glow to it as it came to him. The prince held out his arms, but the quiver started to … well quiver and fell to the ground. "Oh man!" Orious put a hand on Yugi's shoulder.
"You did well, my Prince. With a little more practice, you can have anything you want travel as far as you want. Your powers are shaky now, but they will grow."
"So you're not disappointed?" Orious laughed.
"Of course not! Telekinesis is a hard skill to master. You did very well for your first try." For the rest of the day, training had been in tact. It started off easy, but soon got harder as time went on.

A few hours later, the gang was getting bored of just sitting back and watching. Orious had Yugi standing upside down, using his telekinesis to support himself. Orious circled Yugi with his arms folded. The prince had to concentrate very hard to keep himself from falling and snapping his neck. A large crystal sat in front of him. Yugi could hardly see it as sweat was burning into his eyes.
"Focus on the crystal now." Yugi turned to look at the sparkling rock in front of him. Even though he was still holding himself up, he needed to practice levitating two things at once. The crystal began to glow and was slowly moved to the pile of equipment. "Now lift up your arms." Yugi raised one arm and then the other. Now he was floating a few inches off the ground with nothing supporting him. "Good, now lift yourself up." Yugi groaned out of frustration. He had been practicing his psychic abilities all day and it was really making his head hurt now. He groaned a little more as he raised himself to fully stand in mid-air. "Very good; now, lower yourself to the ground." Yugi did as told, but his body would not move. Suddenly, he fell, yelping as he landing on his back. It was a good thing he was only a few inches from the ground. Atem ran over to him and helped him up.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Orious cleared his throat, gaining everyone's attention.
"You did very well, my Prince. Tomorrow, we shall continue with your training. Get some rest and I will see you tomorrow." The large Centaur ran off at lightning speed. When he was gone, Yugi groaned just thinking of the suffering he would have to go through tomorrow.
"My head hurts, my back aches, I hurt all over and I think I cut my head, did I?" He complained. Atem looked at the large cut that Yugi had on his forehead.
"Yes you do, right there—" Yugi jumped and screeched when Atem's finger touched the blood.
"Ow! Don't touch it!"
"Sorry." Suddenly, the cut started to disappear and soon there was nothing, as if it were never there at all.
"Well, I guess this is another one of my powers." Atem smiled and nodded. Joey tapped Yugi on the shoulder.
"Hey Yugi, as much fun as this was, and I use the term 'fun' loosely, we wanna go check out the Market, do ya mind?" Yugi shook his head, immediately regretting it due to the pain.
"No, you guys go ahead; I'm so tired that I think I'll turn in early."
"Cool, catch ya later, Yug'!" Yugi watched as his friends left. Atem put an arm around him and helped him up.
"Yami, you don't have to stay; you can go with them if you want." Atem shook his head.
"No, I'd rather stay here with you."
"Why?" The ancient Pharaoh was speechless.
"… I just want you. You look like you could use some help getting back to the palace." Yugi giggled.
"No, not really. Here, give me your hand." Atem allowed Yugi to take his hand as the boy closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Yugi, do you think this is such a good idea? I mean it is only your first---"
"Shh!" Atem was silent as Yugi continued to concentrate. Suddenly, in a flash of white, he realized that he and his light were no longer in the fields … they were in Yugi's room … or more specifically, in Yugi's bed. Atem blushed but noticed that Yugi had fallen asleep as soon as he hit the pillow. The poor thing was so worn out. Atem had to smile. He removed Yugi's hat and boots and laid the blankets over his small form. The resurrected Pharaoh took a moment to look at just how beautiful and innocent his light truly was. To him, he could never be so powerful, he was just … Yugi the boy he had sworn to protect from day one. He gave a soft kiss to the boy's forehead and left him to sleep.

The next day came all too quickly for Little Yugi. He was dreading over what Orious had planned for him today.
"Alright, today we are going to practice your power over the element of water." Yugi cringed. If he couldn't control his psychic powers for very long, he wondered how well he was going to be with his elemental powers. From the quiver, Orious took out the flaming arrow. He shot it straight into the air. After a small firework show, a bird erupted from the sparks. Yugi and his friends were all awe struck.
"It's a phoenix!" He announced. It was very beautiful as well. After a few seconds of flying around it turned into all flames, and spread those flames over the field. It created a wall of fire. The friends all gasped.
"Hey, is this part of the trainin'?" Joey asked in a threatening way. Orious nodded.
"It is. Yugi must put out that wildfire with his water element before it's too late." Yugi gulped.
"Don't worry Yugi, you can do it!" Tea cheered.
"Um … w-what do I do?"
"You must figure that out for yourself." Joey and Tristan both started to panic as the flames came closer to them.
"Uh, and you might wanna hurry before we're bar-b-qued, Yugi!" Tristan warned.
"Uh …" Atem was fully prepared to use his shadow powers if absolutely necessary.
"Uh … w-water …" He whispered weakly as he held out his hands. A blast of water shot out of his palms, but spiraled into the air for a few minutes before it landed on Atem and drenched him completely."
"YUGI!" The prince gasped. Not only did he forget that Atem was completely hydrophobic, but he was also running out of time.
"Sorry, Yami!" The fire was getting closer and closer.
"Yugi, do something!" Tea yelled. Yugi started to hyperventilate again. 'What do I do? I've never used any elemental powers before …' Time was running out. Yugi squint his eyes and did the first thing that came to mind.
"WATER!" On cue, a powerful blast of water shot out of Yugi's palms, aiming straight for the flames. He moved around until all the flames were extinguished. When it was finally all over and there was nothing but smoke, Yugi sighed in exhaustion. Joey tapped him on the shoulder.
"That was cool, Yugi!" Yugi smiled.
"Thanks, Joey." His friends were all congratulating him when Orious cleared his throat.
"You're not done yet, Prince. You must clean the fields." Everyone looked over to see the burnt ground with smoke rising from it.
"Well, how do I do that?" Orious smiled.
"By simply focusing on your earth abilities, of course." Yugi looked at the burnt ground and placed his hand on it.
"Earth …" he whispered. On command, new grass and plants started to fill the once burnt trail. Yugi heard clapping behind him and turned around to find his friends clapping at this. He blushed.
What none of them knew was that a spy had been watching them from outside the shield. The spy dashed off to a dark frozen palace, far away from Cair Paravel. It was Mordred, the captain of the White Witch's secret police. He knelt down in front of the woman on the throne of ice. "Your Majesty, your suspicions have been confirmed. Your brother is weak and can not control his powers the way he used to." The woman on the throne formed a cold smirk on her face.
"Excellent work, Mordred. Soon, my brother shall fall and all of Narnia will be mine. But first, I think we better plan a little family reunion." She laughed an evil laugh. From a crystal orb she held in her hand, she could see Yugi's smiling face. Soon, that smile would never return. She would destroy her brother, steal his powers, and claim Narnia as her own.
