Yosuke wandered the market. "Ugh. Can't believe they have me on grocery duty now. Why did I have to go shopping right when Sanji gets a challenge from the Kitchen Cutlass chef." Yosuke groaned. He looked for some entree materials but then bumped right into Dan and Runo.

"Hey, watch where youre…. Runo?!" Dan said.

"Dan?!" Runo said.

"And Yosuke! The guy you made spill all of his groceries!" Yosuke said.

Later…

"Well this is awkward. Both of you live in the same town and you didnt even know it. Kinda sad when you think about it." Yosuke said.

"Hey, Dan and the other guy. Let's have...a battle!" Runo said.

"What? Right now?" Dan asked.

"Not now. Maybe later at the park?" Runo asked.

"Sorry, but I'm kinda busy right now and I wouldn't wanna take your Bakugan." Dan said running off and dropping his Bakupod.

"Oh, burned. But, I'm still available." Yosuke said.

"Bug off!" Runo said looking over the Bakupod. "A challenge from Masquerade. This is my chance. Come on Yosuke!" Runo said.

"Now? But I gotta get this stuff home." Yosuke said remembering some words Sanji said.

"Either come back with my ingredients or prepare to never eat again." Thought Sanji said.

Yosuke got replacements and rushed to Sanji.

"Here, now I gotta help Runo! Hope this is enough for the challenge."

"This is perfect. The challenge is in a couple days at the amusement park." Sanji said. "The team better not miss it."

Yosuke rushed back to runo just as she was about to open the field with the brawler.

"Ack! Field open!" Yosuke said getting into the Field just in time.

"Oho, a last minute addition? Nice. Names Tetsuya and I'll be wiping the floor with you today." The boy said.

"Guy talks big, doesn't he?" Yosuke said. "Then again, I already know a couple guys who do."

"Gate card set!" The three called out. "Doom Card set." Tetsuya added dropping the card into the ground.

"Let's get it on! Bakugan Brawl!" Runo shouted. "Bakugan stand! Go Haos Juggernoid!"

Juggernoid then appeared on the field.

"That all you got? Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan stand! Get out here, Pyrus Gargonoid!" Tetsuya said as a Gargonoid appeared on the field.

"All right! Bakugan Brawl!" Yosuke said. "Bakugan Stand! Get em, Ventus Monarus!" Yosuke said as a butterfly like creature appeared.

"Dang, I missed them." Yosuke groaned. "But at least Monarus can fly outside the gate card zone."

"Ability card activate! Lighting Shield!" Runo said nullifying the gate card Tetsuya activated a moment ago, only to not be enough as Gargano defeated Juggernoid and sent it into the Doom Dimension.

"Time for that Junes King to go next." Tetsuya said setting a gate card and putting gargonoid on it again.

"Bad move. Ability activate! Air Battle!" Yosuke said as Monarus flew outside of the gate card zone and then landed on Garganoid's gate card before Tetsuya had a chance to activate it, defeating it.

"Now it's one each!" Yosuke said.

"Not for long! Bakugan Brawl! Griffon Stand!" Tetsuya said as Griffon appeared on the field.

"Bakugan brawl! Saurus, stand!" Runo said as Saurus appeared.

"Ability activate! Fire wall!" Tetsuya said raising Griffon's power level.

"Gate card open! Pyrus!" Runo said switching the two Bakugan's power levels. Saurus then slammed right into Griffon, earning victory number 2.

"Youre all talk, kid. You never stood a chance even if Runo was alone." Yosuke said.

"Shut up! Bakugan Brawl! Fear Ripper Stand!" Tetsuya shouted tossing out his final Bakugan.

"Saurus, stand!" Runo said.

"Ha! 270 to 380! This wins mine!" Tetsuya said.

"Gate card open! Triple Battle!" Runo shouted. "Let's make our debut. Bakugan Brawl! Tigrerra Stand!" Runo said as a white tiger in golden armor appeared on the field.

"Ready to see my partner?" Yosuke said.

"It cant be awesome as mine, but sure." Runo said.

"Good Answer! Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan, Stand. Let's do this, Jiraiya!" Yosuke said as Jiraiya appeared on the field.

"Uh, what the?" Tetsuya said. "That doesn't look like any Bakugan I ever saw."

"Heh. It gets better. Ability Activate! Ninja Storm!" Yosuke said as Jiraiya slashed Fear Ripper's power level in half.

"And for good measure, Ability activate! Crystal Fang's!" Runo said, increasing Tigrerra's own power.

"Should we show em who's boss?" Yosuke asked.

"Oh yeah." Runo said as they attacked Fear Ripper together with a finishing combo move.

"That's game!" Yosuke said as the field returned to normal. "Well, that was pretty fun."

"That bakugan…" Tigrerra said looking at it. "It's not of the Ventus world origin. Where did you get it?"

"Uh….trade secret." Yosuke said.

Meanwhile, a pokemon with two pink discs on its head and on its tiptoes arrived in town.

"Can't believe I had to use a time ticket. But, all worth it to beat Sanji. He can't beat my Gastronomy style cooking or my name isn't Kirlia." It said. "It's been awhile. Can you handle the most perfect cooking scientist in the world?" She laughed.
