Hello again!
This chapter starts the whole anime with some filler chapters along the way. If none of you noticed this begins at episode 8. Even though I'm following the anime I may skip some Duels until the Maiami Championship. And I don't own Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V.
Ash has Synchro Summoned for the first time and it's Yusei's favorite card, Stardust Dragon. What summoning method is up next, only I know for now. You will all know soon.
Chapter 6
A plane was flying in the sky toward Maiami City which a woman wearing a red business dress was sitting and checking a website on a tablet. She smiled at a photo of her shaking a business man's hand until the pilot announced.
"We will be arriving in the country of Maiami soon." The pilot announced. The woman looked over the city through the window as the plane landed.
She then got into a limo driving to the Leo Corporation building. The reason why is known only to her and the people riding with her.
"Congratulations on the successful company merger, Chairwoman." Said a guy in front of the woman, who apparently is a chairwoman to some business.
"Thank you, with this one more step in our plan has been completed. To make LDS present in every part of the world, to raise Duelists with the greats skills and power, is mine and Declan's plan." The chairwoman said to the guy who revealed to be Claude.
"I'm sure the President will be very pleased with your successful acquisition." Claude assured. "But . . ."
"But?"
"To be honest, I had refrained from contacting you about this because I didn't want to disrupt your negotiations. While you were absent there were a number of incidents that I believe would interest you."
The woman looked serious. "Incidents?"
They made it to the LDS building where the woman was at the young man's office who welcomed her. "Welcome home, mother." The young man welcomed.
"Declan, about the new summoning method, aside from the ones we know Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz, it's a brand new one that has appeared correct?" The woman questioned.
The young man, Declan, adjusted his glasses. "That's right, mother." The woman looked in disbelief and Declan motioned her to sit which she did while he brought a screen down. "It was around a week ago that it appeared out of the blue."
The screen showed Yuya, with his pendant glowing, holding his Timegazer and Stargazer Magicians in his hand. "I set the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and Scale 8 Timegazer Magician!" He then put them on his Duel Disk with Stargazer at the very right and Timegazer at the very left with the 'PENDULUM' flashing across the blade.
Then both monsters appeared in the sky with number 1 under Stargazer and number 8 under Timegazer with a giant version of Yuya's pendant between them. "With this I can summon monsters within Levels 2-7 simultaneously! Sway, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether!" Yuya chanted as the pendant swung like a pendulum.
"Pendulum Summon! Come forth my monster servants!" A portal appeared which released three different lights which turned into three different monsters in the field with Yuya.
The scene changed to the computer room with many red markings appearing in the scale of the city. "High summoning reading being detected in the inner city seafront sector!" One of the employees exclaimed. "Hurry up and analyze it!"
They then typed on the keyboards as quick as they could. "Analyzing in progress! Summoning identified as Pendulum!"
"Pendulum Summon?" The woman questioned in disbelief.
"It involves using two of the special Pendulum Cards and allow you to summon high-level monsters without releasing. This has never existed before." Declan explained.
"It can't be. Is this also that person's . . ."
"We are still investigating on exactly how this occurred. But, on the topic of performing Pendulum Summoning itself, through our data and analysis we almost have a complete understanding of it."
The woman smiled. "I expected nothing less of you, Declan."
"The problem are the Duelists who first used them." Declan pressed a button on the remote he is holding and the screen changed to the profile of Yuya. "His name is Yuya Sakaki. He is currently enrolled in an inner-city Duel School, a male at the age of 14. He is in the Junior Youth Duel Class. His recorded match record is 46 matches with 26 wins."
"His win rate is almost 50%." The woman commented. "That's it? And he's still in Junior Youth class! You mean to tell me he is the one who gave birth to this new summoning method?"
"He is the son of Yusho Sakaki."
The woman's eyes widened. "Yusho Sakaki?! The one who vanished three years ago who may have joined forces with our enemies, his son?"
"We cannot deny the possibility. Or it could be the opposite."
"The opposite?"
"It seems last night, a member of Sawatari's family was assaulted." The woman looked shocked at the news. "The one who assaulted him was a Duelist who used Xyz."
"Xyz?!"
Declan nodded. "Sawatari claims that the Duelist was Yuya Sakaki. However, Yuya's record says that he never used Xyz Summon."
The woman had a thoughtful look on her face. "Where is the Sawatari now?"
"He's currently resting at the hospital. I have a suspicion that he may be faking it."
"I will check into it. But, before I go, I believe you mentioned that there was another Duelist who can use Pendulum Summon."
Declan nodded. "Yuya Sakaki was the one who gave birth to this summoning method. However-" He pressed a button on the remote changing the scene once again. The screen now showed Ash holding his Espeon and Umbreon cards in his hand.
"I set the Pendulum Scale with the Scale 1 Espeon and Scale 8 Umbreon!" Ash declared while putting the two cards with Espeon on the very right and Umbreon on the very left with the 'PENDULUM' flashing across the blade. Then the two monsters appeared in the sky in pillars of transparent light with number 1 under Espeon and number 8 under Umbreon with a giant version of his pendant between them.
"With this I am able to summon monsters within Levels 2-7 simultaneously! Swing! Spirits of the Pendulum! Grant me the power to win this battle!" Ash chanted as the pendant swung as it was a pendulum.
"Pendulum Summon! Come forth my monsters!" A portal appeared and an orange light came out of it which turned to Charizard.
"Somehow this Duelist also has the ability to Pendulum Summon. There was no proof of other Pendulum Cards in development, so Yuya Sakaki should have been the only one to use this method so far."
"Yet this new guy can also do it easily." The woman commented.
"We don't have much information about him, but this is all we know so far." Declan changed the screen to Ash's profile. "His name is Ash Ketchum. He is currently enrolled in the same school Yuya Sakaki is attending, a male of age 15. He seems to be in the Junior Youth Duel Class. His recorded match record is only 2 matches and won both."
"Only won two straight Duels. Four more and he can enter the Maiami Championship."
"That's not all. This scene happened on the same night Sawatari was attacked." Declan changed the scene to the video of last night when Ash appeared from the pinkish flash and crashed off his Duel Runner.
"What is this?!" The woman exclaimed.
"I don't know exactly what happened, but since he came here with a Duel Runner I can only surmise that Ash went to the Synchro Dimension."
The woman widened her eyes in shock. "The Synchro Dimension."
"After this scene I had Claude go over there and bring the Duel Runner to LDS. It is currently being studied by our experts."
"What about the boy himself?"
"I'll deal with him myself. I have a test planned for him."
The woman stood up. "I'll go see the Sawatari boy." She then exited the office leaving Declan looking at Ash's profile.
The scene changed to the You Show Duel School with Ash sitting next to Sora on a table who is mixing vanilla ice cream and custard pudding behind a text book. Yuya and Yuzu next to each other on the table next to Ash and Sora, Tate alone in front, and Ally and Frederick on the final table. Shuzo was in front of the class teaching them.
Shuzo was teaching them about Normal and Advanced Summon, but Ally and Frederick looked bored since they already know about them. Ash and Yuzu aren't currently paying attention as they each have a different train of thought.
'Yesterday was one of the weirdest days I ever had.' Ash thought as he turned to Yuya and Yuzu's table. He was looking at Yuzu right now. 'First I followed a girl named Serena who has the same face as Yuzu.' He then moved his eyes to Yuya. 'Then there's Yugo, a Turbo Duelist who looks like Yuya.'
'And ain't that weird enough. Yugo took me to New Domino City where I got my Duel Runner and beat him in a Turbo Duel. And when I got back to Maiami my Duel Runner mysteriously disappeared. But that wasn't the weirdest part. It was when I heard Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and Stardust Dragon talking to me, which seems only I can hear since Yugo never commented.'
That was Yuzu stood up and asked her father about Xyz which made everyone look at her including Ash. He then went back to the thought of Serena. 'And Serena. The girl who has the same face as Yuzu, but I can't help but feel that she is cuter than Yuzu. Maybe those two cheek kisses really got to me.'
Ash then lost the train of thought when the memory of Serena kissing his cheek twice came up as Yuzu sat down. He looked to the front of the class with a blushing face holding the spot on the cheek Serena kissed twice smiling.
Sora noticed Ash spacing out with the smile on his face. "Hey Ash. Are you alright?"
That question snapped Ash out of his daze. "What?"
"You were just looking at the front of the class with your face flushed."
"Oh." Ash shook his head to regain himself. "Was I? I haven't noticed."
'Looks like Yuzu isn't the only one acting weird.' Sora thought sweat dropping.
"You said he ambushed him?!" Gong's voice exclaimed surprising everyone. "Yuya would never do something that cowardly!"
"Gongenzaka?" Yuya questioned standing up from his seat. Everyone ran out of the classroom to see what's going on.
Ash, Yuya, and Shuzo made it outside to see Gong in front of them. "What's all the fuss about?" Shuzo questioned.
Gong turned his head to see the group. "Oh, Principal! I, the man Gongenzaka, was in the midst run for my leg training I noticed peeking into our Duel School three suspicious male figures and when I questioned them they said Yuya ambushed someone last night, unforgivable!" He said referring to the three boys wearing Maiami Second Middle School uniforms.
The group looked shocked. "Ambushed?!"
"I did?!" Yuya exclaimed.
"That's right and we won't let you say you forgot!" One boy said.
"We were there and saw you with our very eyes!" Another one added.
"There were four, no five witnesses present!" The third one finished.
"Five?" Gong questioned.
"Silvio, us, and . . . her too!" The third one said pointing to Yuzu shocking the group. Ash, Yuya, and Gong turned toward Yuzu who was at the door with everybody else.
"Isn't that right? Yuzu Hiragi!" The three boys said together.
Yuzu looked shocked as Gong walked towards her. "Is that true Yuzu, you saw it too?"
"Saw? What?" Shuzo asked getting close to her.
"The face of the culprit!" One of the boys exclaimed. "The son of the soon to be mayor, Silvio's assaulter, the face of Yuya Sakaki!"
"Huh?!" Yuya exclaimed.
"Stop lying!" The three little kids exclaimed getting in front of Yuya with Sora beside him.
"Yuya would never do something like that!" Tate yelled.
"The one who attacked first was Silvio!" Ally added. "So to stop him Yuzu went to go Duel him!"
"Wa-wait the one who dueled him wasn't Yuya but Yuzu?!" Shuzo exclaimed.
"Yeah!"
"And her opponent was-"
"Sawatari!"
"Then that means the one who ambushed him was Yuzu!"
"That's wrong!" The three kids exclaimed together.
The three boys looked dumbfounded at the principal. "We just told you. It was Yuya Sakaki!" The first boy said.
"He's the one who attacked Silvio!" The second boy added.
"I feel so sorry for the guy, he was injured so severely he was hospitalized!" The third boy finished.
Yuya and Yuzu looked shocked. "Hospitalized?!" Yuya exclaimed.
"No way!" Yuzu added.
"His life could even be at risk!" The third boy exclaimed.
"If something happens to Silvio how are you going to take responsibility!" The first boy yelled at Yuya.
"T-take responsibility . . . but I-" Yuya walked towards Yuzu hoping she would help. "Hey, say something Yuzu! You saw everything right?"
Yuzu moved her eyes away. "I did see it, but . . ."
After a moment of silence Yuya widened his eyes. "Don't tell me you doubt me too Yuzu?!"
Yuzu looked at Yuya. "That's-" Before she finished she suddenly looked down unsurely.
"Yuzu." Ash muttered.
"If something happened to Silvio of course you'd get caught!" The first boy exclaimed. "By the cops."
"Th-the cops?!" Shuzo exclaimed. He then turned to the two. "Explain what exactly happened from the start properly!"
"Let me explain it for you." The group turned to see a limo with the same woman exiting out.
"You're LDS'-"
"Yes, I am the current Chairwoman. My name is Henrietta."
Everyone went in the school in the conference room except for Claude who was paying the three boys each with a card.
"Everything they said is the truth." Henrietta said sitting on the sofa in front of Shuzo with everyone else looking on in. "The fact that one of our LDS students Silvio Sawatari was attacked as well as his statement that the culprit is Yuya Sakaki who is currently enrolled as a student at this Duel School."
Shuzo sighed and turned toward Yuya. "Well Yuya? Did you really-"
"I didn't!" Yuya countered. "I would never do something like that!"
"I, the man Gongenzaka, believes his friend Yuya!" Gong said making everyone turn to him. "It's the same for all of you isn't it?" He asked everyone else.
"Of course!" Frederick exclaimed.
Gong nodded and looked at Yuzu. "And you Yuzu?"
Yuzu turned toward Yuya. "Yuya! That really wasn't you was it Yuya?"
Yuya sighed and turned to her back. "I don't know what you saw Yuzu, but I didn't attack Silvio!"
Yuzu smiled. "I got it, then I believe you too Yuya."
"I believe you too Yuya." Yuya turned towards Ash who was also smiling. "I know you pretty well despite that we only knew each other for a few days. I practically live with you now, so I know a guy like you would never do something like that."
'Except maybe Yugo. He did say that he caused a lot of trouble with his bad temper, but he was with me the entire time. We were in New Domino City, so it couldn't have been him. Which means-' Ash widened his eyes in realization. 'There must be another Duelist who looks like Yuya and Yugo!'
"Oh my, what strong bonds you have." Henrietta said. "It seems it would be impossible for me to ask you to hand Yuya over. But, we can't back down at this point now." That statement had Shuzo turn to her. "If rumor spread that a student from LDS the world's Number One Duel School lost in a Duel it would bring forth immense damage to our reputation."
"But our Yuya didn't-" Shuzo was interrupted before he got a chance to finish.
"That is not relevant anymore! The problem here is the symbol of LDS has been dragged through the mud! The only way to clear this disgrace is a duel between Duel Schools!"
"A Duel?!" Shuzo exclaimed with the other students just as shocked except Sora who just smiled.
"If your party wins then we will ignore the case concerning Sawatari. But if we win we will have you make this Duel School a part of the Leo Duel School!"
Everyone was shocked at that. "What did you say?!" Yuya exclaimed.
"No way!" Yuzu said.
"Not only do you want to clear your name, but to take over You Show Duel School?!" Gong exclaimed.
"Chairwoman, I have heard that you've acquired many other Duel Schools across the world. Am I right in saying that You Show Duel School has become your next target?" Henrietta only smirked. "Don't tell me that you set up the entire attack on Sawatari just for this!"
"That is not the case. But, it is true that I took a hold of a chance given to me. The chance to have LDS have Fusion, Syu, Xyz, and Pendulum Summoning as four the pillars to support our school." Ash and Yuya were shocked at the mention of Pendulum Summoning. "Don't you think that up until now you've been blessed with quite an amazing gift? Principal Hiragi."
Shuzo looked down with the students looking at him as Henrietta continued. "Using the skills and abilities of our Leo Corporation to add Pendulum Summoning to our LDS curriculum. There are many Duelists who aspire to use Pendulum Summoning just as Yuya and Ash had. The same for you all as well?" She asked looking toward the other students behind Shuzo.
"B-but if you don't have Yuya or Ash's Pendulum Cards to Pendulum Summon . . ." Tate began.
"That can also be resolved by the power of our Leo Corporation. That is why it is necessary for us to unite." Henrietta then smirked. 'Along with that we will be able to investigate exactly who Yuya Sakaki and Ash Ketchum are.' She thought looking at said two. 'If they are enemies of Declan and I or maybe . . .'
"Dueling is not a tool for fighting!" Yuya exclaimed grabbing his pendant. "But I don't want You Show Duel School or Pendulum Summoning taken away by someone else! You Show Duel School is a Duel School my father created to teach Entertainment Duels! A Duel School that teaches that Duels should be something to be enjoyed and viewed by others! I don't want to give it over to someone like you who thinks they can control anyone with their money and power!"
Gong wrapped an arm around Yuya's shoulder with everyone else but Henrietta smiling. "Well said, Yuya! I, the man Gongenzaka, agree whole-heartedly! In order to defend You Show Duel School I'll fight alongside you!"
"But you're an outsider aren't you?" Sora questioned making Gong slump. "If Duel School students are going to fight together then Yuya, Ash, Yuzu, and I should do right? I also wanted to fight against an LDS Duelist too after all."
"To think you would exclude a man such as I Gongenzaka! It's unforgivable!"
"It seems that your students feelings are in line with each other." Henrietta said.
"Mine are as well." Shuzo said as the students gather behind him. "We won't hand over You Show Duel School!"
Henrietta sighed with a smile. "Well then, shall we begin?"
The scene changed to the same Duel Field where Ash had his first Duel with Shuzo with Ash, Yuya, Yuzu, and Sora and Henrietta with three different students, two boys and one girl.
One of the boys is slim and tall with purple hair that has a gold pin in the shape of the Big Dipper asterism, and blue eyes. He wears a zip-up blue and purple jacket over a white long-sleeved shirt, with white pants, olive-colored shoes, and a loose blue belt. His LDS badge is pinned on the right side of his jacket. He also has a frame with a star underneath his hairline.
The girl has a dark skin tone, shoulder-length black hair and red eyes. She wears a small blue shirt with her LDS badge pinned on it over a cream one-piece long-sleeved shirt and shorts combination with black skin-tight shorts underneath ending above the knee, and blue boots. She carries her Duel Disk in a brown holster resembling that for a firearm.
The other boy is a slightly below-average height young teen with long spiky brown hair and amber eyes. His canines appear to be longer than normal and often stick out of his mouth. He wears a dark blue long-sleeved shirt and pants under a tan jacket with an orange interior (with his LDS badge pinned on the collar) and the sleeves torn off, brown socks, and burnt-orange and grey shoes. He also carries a wooden katana for some reason.
"Three vs Three. The first who gets two wins is the victor, is that good with you?" Henrietta questioned.
"Three on three. Which means only one of us has to sit out." Ash muttered.
"So then, who will go first?"
"Me!" Sora yelled raising his hand.
"No, I will!" Yuya said stepping up.
"Of course, after all those other two don't seem reliable." Henrietta said. 'Declan said that he would take care of Ash himself. Better not get him involved.' "If you'd want to finish this as soon as possible there's no other choice-"
"Hold it!" Sora exclaimed angrily. "What're you talking about old lady! You don't even know how strong I am!"
"That's enough out of you!" Yuzu said patting Sora's head.
"But it's in your best interest if you don't think you'll win that easily. They're all Junior Youth Class Duelists like yourself, Yuya. But they are the aces of each LDS courses! And the one who will be your opponent among them is . . ." Henrietta explained as the purple boy stepped up.
"LDS Xyz Course Member, Dipper!" Dipper introduced.
"Xyz?" Yuzu said stunned.
'Looks like I'll finally see an Xyz Summon after all.' Ash thought with a smirk.
Tate looked over a list on his tablet Duel Disk with Frederick, Ally, and Gong looking over his shoulders. "There he is! LDS Dipper!" Ally exclaimed.
"His record this year is, 58 matches with 53 wins?!" Tate exclaimed. "His winning percentage is over 90%!"
"He's got over top scores in the Junior Class Rank Testings!" Frederick added.
"Forget test scores! I hear he's said to be favored to win the championship!" Ally finished as they focus their sight back to the group in front of them.
"Whether he's an ace or a potential champion is nothing to be afraid of!" Shuzo advised Yuya. "Show him your abilities Yuya! They're burning and hot-blooded!"
"Right!" Yuya yelled with a nod.
Soon everyone else exited the field except for Yuya and Dipper who are ready to Duel. Everyone except Shuzo who went to the control room are currently watching over the field by the window.
"Our students can handle any situation so choose whatever you like." Henrietta said to Shuzo.
"Can handle anything you say? Then how about this?! Action Field On!" Shuzo yelled pressing a button on the controls making a card appear on the screen. "Field Magic: Cosmo Sanctuary! Activate!" Use the power of the stars to fight, Yuya!"
Back on the field it turned into a field in outer space with many old pillars. Dipper looked disbelieved before laughing. "Of all the things you chose the field that suits me the best!" He said.
"What?!"
"Just looking at the name Dipper you can figure that much out." Sora commented making the principal look stupid.
"I'll definitely win this Duel!" Yuya declared. "I will win and protect You Show Duel School! Dad's dueling!"
"Duelists locked in battle!" Ally began.
"Kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Frederick added.
"They storm through this field!" Tate added.
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!" Ally added.
"Action!" Tate and Frederick began.
"DUEL!" Yuya and Dipper finished.
Outside the school a hooded Declan looked on and went to go inside the building.
And done!
Yuya's gonna duel Dipper, the Xyz specialist, to save the You Show Duel School. Will Ash finally able to see an Xyz Summon? Find out on the next chapter.
And for you all I was going to work on one of my other stories, but I only managed to do a few lines and couldn't come up with any good scenarios. Plus I'm too excited about this story because of how successful it is! And I do have a few other ideas. And I felt I want to express them as quick as possible.
