Ushio was walking throughout the alleyway, heading home, when suddenly, 2 short shadows and 2 long shadows appeared behind him. They looked like the kids and their Pokemon.
"Game no jibun," The first one said in Japanese.
When the shadow said that, Ushio was instantly tied to a rope, tied to the tall, thick pole of a building. "What..." Ushio stammered, confuzzled at what the hell was happening, "...what are you?!"
At that moment, the items the shadows were holding revealed who they were: it was Makkusu and Rikku with their Pokemon...or were they? "Bastards! Makkusu, Rikku!" Ushio screamed.
"Yo, Ushio-sama," 'Makkusu' said, smirking creepily. "I got a bone to pick with you. You hurt our controllers, so I'll just return the favor..." 'Makkusu' said, "...with 100K¥!"
"Well, you got such a bargin!" Ushio exclaimed. 'Makkusu' didn't give Ushio the money. "What are you waiting for?! Hand over the money, you sons of a biscuit!" he screamed.
"Not until you agree to play a game with us," 'Rikku' said, having the same scary grin 'Makkusu' had on his face.
"Game?" Ushio said confused.
"But it won't be any regular game..." 'Rikku' scarily said, "...it's a Yami no Game. A game of your life."
"Heh! I, Ushio, have never lost a game in my life!" Ushio smugly sneered. "I accept your challenge!"
"Well, if you insist..." 'Makkusu' said, leaping off the building, rope tied to him, while sliding cards onto the building. "The rules are simple: We each take turns flipping over cards and climbing the value of the number until someone is at the top and wins the money," 'Makkusu' explained.
The first turn went to Ushio, who got a 10. 'Makkusu' countered with a Jack. They continued taking turns, flipping cards and climbing, until 'Makkusu' was one step to the top.
"Got nothing left, Ushio-sama?" 'Makkusu' said evilly.
"Shut the fuck up! The next card will turn this around!" Ushio screamed, picking up his card. It was a Joker, a miss. "My turn," 'Makkusu' said. For the whole game, he had that sadistic grin on his face, never leaving. "Ace of Diamonds," he said in such a way that makes chills run sharply down your spine. "Victory is ours."
"NO!" Ushio said, breaking the rules. He tried to punch the kid, but 'Makkusu suddenly floated away, saying, "You will be met with a terrible fate." At that moment, Ushio fell and thought that he was going to be eaten by his own greed.

"Hey, Makkusu," Rikku called out to me, his Cyndaquil in it's PokeBall. "I brought something with me."
"What's that?" I asked.
"Friendship," he said. "We may be visible, but our friendship isn't, and it's a big one, best friend!"
Ding dong ding dong...
"I'll race ya to class!"
"Wait for me!"
