Chapter 1: A Whole New World

When I'm writing this story here are some things you should know.

Cards will be like how they are in the anime (Example: The Flame Swordsman will be a normal monster instead of a fusion)

The gang's clothes will be what they wore in Dawn of the Duel.

Serenity's Deck will be mostly based on what she used during the Virtual World Arc.

In the words of the famous Nobody Axel, "Got it memorized?"

Disclaimer: I don't own either Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh.

Our story starts inside a card shop where we see a group of people sitting near a table two of which were playing cards. One of the two card players was a teenage boy with blond hair. He was wearing a yellow jacket over a light blue t-shirt, blue pants, and tennis shoes. The other card player was a brunette haired girl a little younger than the boy. She was wearing a sleeveless pink and white shirt over a short-sleeved yellow shirt, blue jean shorts, and blue sneakers. What of the observers? One was a young boy, probably the shortest of the group, with hair blond hair in the front and black and magenta in the back. He was wearing what appeared to be a blue jacket over black sleeveless shirt, blue pants, a silver belt, and black shoes. Around his neck was a strange gold pyramid with an eye in the center. Another was a brunette haired male with a large portion of his hair spiked out. He was wearing a light green jacket over a white t-shirt, black pants, and tennis shoes. The last male member of the group was a young man with his black hair in a high ponytail and a dice earring. He was wearing a black and red headband, a sleeveless red vest with a sleeveless black shirt underneath it, black pants, and dark purple shoes. The last member of the group was a female brunette. She was wearing a black sleeveless top, red skirt, and white high-heeled boots. The cards themselves had pictures of monsters and other things.

The blond haired boy drew a card from his deck. "All right, Serenity hope you're ready 'cause I am ending this duel." He said to Serenity as he took two cards from the table and set down another one, this one having a black dragon with red eyes. "I summon the Red Eyes Black Dragon! Now I'll have him attack your Forgiving Maiden." Serenity didn't seem worried.

"Sorry Joey but I activate my face down card, Magic Cylinder." She said as she revealed a card that had two cylinders redirecting an attack at something. "With this I can negate the attack back at your life points." Joey hung his head low after that.

"Aw man I lost and to my own sister too." I guess that would hurt one's pride.

"But Joey this is a good thing." Joey raised his head after that and looked at the young boy. "This proves she's progressing as a duelist thanks to all of our teachings." The short boy advised.

"I guess but I just wish you hadn't supplied her with all those powerful cards, Yugi." He groaned a little. The brunette male stepped forward to add something.

"Hey don't forget it was you who decided to train her and you're also the one who helped her put together her deck. So if it's anyone's fault it's yours" Joey apparently didn't like that remark as he glared darkly at the brunette male.

"Can it, Tristan!" He shouted as the others laughed at his outburst. "I just figured that after that little incident in the Virtual World she might need to learn more about the game instead of just being forced into a duel." Virtual World incident? Wonder what happened. The ravened haired man had something to say.

"Well we've proven that she can defeat someone in a regular but let's see how she handles an official duel." The others listened to what their friend had to say. Yugi nodded at the idea.

"Good idea Duke. So who's going to be her opponent?" He asked.

"I say it should be Tristan." Joey suggested as Tristan put him in a headlock not liking that crack.

"And I say it should be you!" Tristan said as Joey started going blue in the face. The female brunette coughed causing Tristan to let go of Joey.

"If it will make you feel better I'll duel her." She said. No one had any objections.

"Okay it will be Serenity vs. Téa." Yugi said. Splendid the whole group has now been mentioned. Suddenly the entire background changed around Yugi and behind him appeared…another Yugi? Seriously he looked like Yugi except he was taller, his face was more mature looking and the blond locks in his hair were standing like lightning.

"So it seems Serenity is becoming quite the duelist, huh?" The bigger Yugi said. Yugi nodded.

"Yeah thanks to all the training we've given her she may even surpass both of us one day."

"Possibly." The group then all went out back with the girls wearing strange devices on their wrists. They both activated the devices and suddenly numbers appeared on the devices.

"Let's duel!" They both shouted as they drew five cards from their decks.

"I'll let you go first Serenity." Téa said. Serenity nodded and drew a card from her deck. She looked over the cards she had and then placed two on the field.

"I'll lay one card face and then I summon Shadow Tamer in attack mode." As she placed the second card down a woman with long blue hair, wearing a white outfit, and holding a whip appeared on the field appeared on the field. The cards come to life in this game? "I'll end my turn with that." She concluded.

Téa drew a card from her deck and then made her move. "First I'll lay a card face down and place a monster in defense mode." She said as a vertical and horizontal card appeared in front of her. "That ends my turn." The guys who were on the sidelines seemed to know what Téa was up to.

"That facedown monster has to be her Fire Sorcerer." Joey pointed out.

"It has to be let's hope that Serenity finds a way to get past…Huh?" Yugi suddenly looked down and noticed that his necklace was glowing for some strange reason. "What's going on with my Millennium Puzzle?!" Suddenly the glow coming from the puzzle shot straight into the air and a strange vortex appeared causing the girls to put their duel on hold.

Téa turned to the guys. "What just happened?" The others didn't have a clue.

"We don't know Téa." Tristan said. "All of the sudden Yug's Millennium Puzzle started glowing for some reason and then bam that appeared!" He finished as he pointed to the vortex which was starting to expand across the sky and was causing many things to go flying through it.

"This goes without saying but we should probably get inside!" Duke shouted over the wind as they ran to get inside however Serenity suddenly lost her footing and tripped causing the vortex to suck her in.

"Joey!" She shouted alerting her brother who saw his little sister being sucked up.

"Serenity!" Joey ran and grabbed hold of her hand and tried to pull her back down to the ground. "Hang on, sis I got you!" He kept pulling her down but the force of the wind was getting to strong even when Tristan and Duke stepped in to help.

"Don't let go, Serenity!" Tristan shouted. What else could she do you nitwit? Suddenly Joey's grip was starting to slip and then Serenity went flying towards the vortex.

"Serenity!" Joey shouted as he saw his little sister get sucked in and then the vortex closed as Yugi's puzzle stopped glowing as well. That had both Yugi's wondering what happened.

"Pharaoh what happened just now with the puzzle?" Yugi wondered.

"I am not entirely certain Yugi." The Pharaoh stated. "All I know is that something was pulling at the Millennium Puzzle that didn't seem to be from this world." Yugi looked confused about what he was just told as he saw Joey on his knees and had tears streaming down his face.

"How could this have happened?!" The blonde shouted in both anger and sadness. He suddenly turned to Yugi and that had the young boy feeling slightly unnerved. "Yugi, what exactly went wrong with your Puzzle and why did it open that vortex?!" He demanded in a very angry tone and I can't say I blame him cause if it were my sister I would act the same way.

"I don't know Joey." Yugi started. "The Pharaoh told me that some other worldly force was pulling at it and suddenly that happened." Yug' if I were you I wouldn't stay there too long.

And I'm right as Joey picked him up by his collar and held him to his face. "Well you better tell the Pharaoh how to reverse this before I…!" He was cut off as Tristan and Duke pulled him away from Yugi while Téa checked on him.

"Yugi are you okay?" She asked in concern. Yugi just nodded still gaining his breath back.

"Joey, seriously, calm down, man!" Tristan said to the still struggling Joey whose death glare immediately turned to the brunette male.

"How can I possibly calm down when my sister is lost in some other world?!" Joey shouted at Tristan, who immediately punched him in the face.

"Calm down, Joey!" Tristan shouted at the downed blonde. "You're not the only one who's worried about her you know!" Joey looked back up at Tristan. "And taking your anger out in Yugi isn't going to solve anything."

Joey sighed deeply. "You're right." He looked to Yugi "Yug' I'm sorry about almost bashing you in the face."

Yugi just smiled at his friend. "It's alright Joey I know you're just worried. I'm sure she's fine though wherever she is." Let's hope you're right Yugi.

Meanwhile near a forest a strange orange meteor of some sort shot into the sky. It seemed to have failed as it ended up crashing to the ground right in front of a young man and a large group of creatures. The boy was a raven haired teen wearing a red baseball cap, a black vest with a yellow strip across it over a white t-shirt, jeans, green fingerless gloves, and red tennis shoes. What of his creatures? One was a yellow mouse with little red pouches on its cheeks. Another was a large brown bird with white on its chest and had spiky hair with red at the tip. Another was a large green tortoise with spikes and a large tree on its shell. The fourth creature was red and white ape with flaming hair, seriously its hair was on fire. The fifth creature was an orange weasel with a yellow flotation device around its neck. The final creature was a little grey land shark. The land shark looked down dejectedly obviously it had to be the one that launched that meteor. The young teen came over to it.

"Don't worry Gible you'll get the hang of it eventually." He said to Gible. Gible looked to the young man. "We just need to think of a way for you to concentrate your energy so you can use it without blowing up in your face or nailing Piplup."

The mouse immediately came up to both of them. ("Yeah Ash is right. You'll get control of it Gibs."). After saying that the mouse's ears perked up and then he looked up. Ash looked towards his mouse after seeing it look up.

"What is it Pikachu?" Ash looked up at the sky same as Pikachu did and noticed the same vortex from before. "What the heck is that?!" He looked toward the opening of the vortex and saw something or rather someone falling out of it. "Staraptor!" He shouted as the bird suddenly flew up to the sky and grabbed the person falling and immediately returned to its master. "Good job, Staraptor." The bird nodded to Ash's praise. Ash and his creatures looked at the person Staraptor rescued and it was revealed to be Serenity except she was unconscious.

("Who is she? And what's that thing on her wrist") Pikachu wondered. No one knew whoe she was or about her disk.

"I don't know but we should get her back to our camp." Ash said as he pulled out five red and white balls and pointed them at Staraptor, Gible and the other three. "Okay everyone return." Suddenly a red light came out and suddenly all of them were called back into the balls then he put Serenity onto his back. "Let's head back buddy." Pikachu nodded as they both headed back to their camp with the unconscious Serenity.

Well that wraps up this chapter. What was up with that vortex opening up? How will Serenity react to Ash when she wakes? Will she make it back home? Find out next time.

I have a request to ask of you guys when I introduce the antagonist of this story they will be using Fiend based monsters and I need some ideas of what monsters, magic, and traps I should use for the deck.
