A/N: This story is biased towards Duel Monsters being far stronger than Pokémon, just saying in advance. Also, some minor changes to canon may be done, but nothing that will impact the story greatly.

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

"What is this guy's problem?!"

The voice of a young boy could be heard. This voice did indeed belong to such a person as the source could currently be seen running across the top of a bunch of buildings while seemingly running away from something.

The boy appeared to be around the age of fifteen that had a pair of emerald eyes and snow-white straight hair, he had fair skin along with a lean body that still had some defined muscles. His attire had consisted of a simple black t-shirt with a white horizontal stripe across the stomach area.

He also had on a pair of tight black jeans and white running shoes, around his right leg were also two tightly strapped silver belts. Finally, each of his wrists had black wristbands placed over them. The boy was running from what appeared to be a cloaked figure that was a couple of meters behind him.

The cloaked figure was mainly wearing black from what he could see, they had a metallic black bodysuit that was still flexible and easy to move in while also having on a black metallic helmet with a golden visor that was shaped like the letter 'V'. Atop of this body armour was a hooded cape that was golden in colour and had a sharp tip.

"Dude, I have no idea who the hell you are! But, why do you keep chasing me?!" The young boy demanded. He continued to parkour across the buildings as the chase was seemingly becoming faster. That was when the cloaked figure then responded. "Haruto Mozaki, number one rank duelist in Neo Den City. Highest threat level, target has also been identified, must be eliminated."

"Now you're talking like a robot! Great!" The boy now known as Haruto groaned sarcastically as he heard his answer. Whoever this person was was obviously trying to eliminate him for reasons unknown, but he wasn't going down! "If you want to destroy me so badly, then duel me and battle like a real duelist!"

"Duelling is not necessary, most efficient method for this moment will be conducted!" The figure shouted. Haruto widened his eyes when the figure held their arms towards him and fired a blast of golden energy from their hand. "What in the world?! That was dangerous! Oh crud, there's more!"

True to Haruto's words, multiple shots were sent towards him as he continued to dodge them all while running. Haruto continued to run as the blasts that ended up missing him without him needing to dodge zoomed past his face, though that was when the boy was forced to come to a stop when the wall of the taller building got in his way.

"Crap..." Haruto groaned.

"This is the end of the line, Haruto Mozaki."

"..." Haruto glared towards the assailant as he saw another blast of energy fire towards him at fast speeds, though both him and the assailant were shocked when a sudden barrier of sorts blocked the shot. "What? Where did that barrier come from?"

Haruto looked around in confusion as he tried to find the source of his rescue, though he couldn't find anyone. Haruto then widened his eyes when what appeared to be a portal of sorts formed beneath his feet and he began to fall in.

All he saw was the opening to the portal before he began to black out.

"Ugh... my head."

Haruto's voice had groaned. The young boy had opened his eyes slightly as he stared up at what appeared to be a wooden ceiling, he gripped his right hand and felt like he was holding onto something soft. Haruto groaned as he looked down at his side to see that he was holding onto the sheets of what appeared to be a bed he was laying on.

"What? I'm in a house?" Haruto muttered in confusion. He looked around to see that it was a peaceful looking wooden cottage with a wooden table at the centre along with a small kitchen, though what caught his attention the most were the rocks that were being put on display in glass display cases along one of the walls. "How did I get here?"

Haruto looked around in confusion as he gripped his head a bit due to pain, he then threw his legs off the side of the bed and sat there as he tried to recall everything that had happened. He remembered the person that was chasing him along the rooftops, but that was when he blacked out.

"That's right... I fell into some kind of portal. What was that?" Haruto wondered. Considering how crazy his world was, he wasn't so surprised about the portal actually being a thing. He was more surprised by its sudden appearance, why did appear? Who made it appear? There were so many questions in his head.

Haruto sighed as he shook his head a bit to clear it, there was something more important right now. Finding out where he even was. He looked around the room again before widening his eyes when he saw a strange device placed on the small bedside cabinet, Haruto quickly took hold of it and gave a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, my duel disk is still here..." Haruto sighed. This brought him great relief as it meant that he still had a means of protecting himself and also that fact that he had a deep connection to such a device.

The device itself looked like a very futuristic duel disk that was black in colour with blue glowing lines, the end of the duel disk had spikes that curved upwards. There was also a glowing blue orb at the centre of the disk. "Now..."

Haruto then reached into his jeans and pulled out two what appeared to be decks of cards, these card being none other than his decks of duel monster cards. He flicked through them all to make sure that every single one was there, and when he did, he was glad that every card was in order.

Haruto smiled as he then placed both decks back into his pockets, though he then used both arms as leverage as he leaned back and stared up at the ceiling in confusion. Where in the world was he? From what he remembered, there were no small wooden cottages anywhere near Neo Den City.

But, if he was certain about one thing right now, it was that the portal which had appeared was the reason he wasn't where he previously was. He was both glad but also annoyed by it, it had saved him from meeting his end by that person but it had ended up making him completely lost with no idea of where he was.

"I see that you have awoken, I'm glad." A young man's voice called out. Haruto jumped slightly as he was surprised by the sudden voice, he turned his head up to looked towards the source of the voice. It was revealed to be a young man standing at the door of the cottage with a soft smile.

The person appeared to be maybe in his early twenties and had icy-blue hair and eyes, his attire had consisted of a suit of sorts that was black in colour along with purple accents and shoes, he also had a white collar and red tied around his neck. Haruto also saw that he had a couple of rings on his fingers.

Haruto watched as the young man began walking over towards him as he calmly sat on the bed, the man then took hold of one of the wooden chairs at the table at the centre of the room before positioning it in front of Haruto as he sat down

Haruto watched as the young man began walking over towards him as he calmly sat on the bed, the man then took hold of one of the wooden chairs at the table at the centre of the room before positioning it in front of Haruto as he sat down. The young man then said. "I was worried that you weren't going to wake up, it was really a coincidence that I found you."

"R-Really? So, you were the one that found me? Thanks for helping me out." Haruto thanked as he gave a small smile. The man smiled in return as he then held his hand towards Haruto as he introduced himself. "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Steven Stone."

"Haruto, Haruto Mozaki. It's a pleasure as well." Haruto introduced as he accepted the gesture. The man, now known as Steven, then leaned a bit forward as he seemed to gain a serious look in his eyes as he then asked. "So, I've been meaning to ask this. But, do you mind explaining to me why you fell out of a portal?"

"Huh?"

"Before I had found you, I saw you fall from the portal in the sky and into the water nearby. So, why was it that you came from a portal?"

"Well... to be honest..." Haruto muttered. He really saw no harm in telling Steven, he was the person that had saved him if what he was saying was true. He probably would have ended up dying if he hadn't been rescued from the water. "I have no idea myself. I remember it appearing out of nowhere..."

"Mind explaining further?"

"Well, I remember that I was being chased by some strange cloaked person before something came and protected me, but that was when the portal had appeared beneath me and sucked me in. That was when I blacked out."

"I see..." Steven muttered. It was truly strange, he had heard many things through his years, but this was certainly strange. There had to be a reason that the portal had appeared so coincidentally while Haruto was being chased. "Do you know who this cloaked person was? Any ideas at all?"

"I'm afraid not." Haruto sighed. Truly, he wished that he did know who the person was that was hunting him down. He wanted to know why they were hunting him. Why it was him they were hunting. And also who they were. "I didn't really what they really looked like as they were completely covered up head to toe."

"I see, that doesn't really help us find out who they were." Steven replied with closed eyes and crossed arms. Steven then thought of any possible explanations as to why the portal had appeared, and there was only one thing he could think of right now. "I can only assume that it was the work of a psychic-type pokemon that opened up the portal."

"Pokemon? What's a pokemon?" Haruto blinked in confusion. Steven suddenly froze as he heard, he jerked his head up at Haruto in shock. He could only drop his mouth as he heard what Haruto said, how didn't the boy know what a pokemon was?! It was probably as common knowledge as knowing what water was!

"M-Mind repeating that?"

"Eh? I asked what a pokemon was..."

"I don't believe it..." Steven sighed as he put one of his hands on his forehead in disbelief. If what Haruto was asking was truly out of curiosity and honesty, then there was a serious problem. Steven sighed once again before looking at Haruto seriously. "Haruto, I'm going to be serious here. Do you truly not know what a pokemon is?"

"Yeah... Is it common knowledge here?"

"Yes, very much so. To answer your previous question, pokemon are creatures that inhabit our world and exist together with humans, some people catch pokemon with what we called a Pokeball. Some train and battle with their pokemon, and some just go about their normal daily lives together." Steven explained. Haruto listened intently as he then gave a frown.

"If this is common knowledge, then how come I have never heard of such a thing before. Plus, I'm quite certain no-one from my home knows of pokemon." Haruto frowned. Steven frowned as well after hearing this, where in the world did this boy live to not have heard of pokemon? "Also, I was wondering if you know where I can go to get back to Neo Den City."

"Neo Den City? I have never heard of such a place..." Steven responded. Haruto blinked a couple of times as he stared at Steven, how could he not know Neo Den City? It's one of the most advanced and populated cities ever. "Where does this Neo Den City exist exactly?"

"In Japan..."

"Japan? Can't say I've heard of it either..." Steven responded. Haruto felt like his world had just shattered, if Steven hadn't heard of Japan or even Neo Den City, how was he going to get home? Was he even close to home? Steven tried to think of the places that Haruto mentioned but came out blank.

He knew of many different regions in the world, them being like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar. But, never had he ever heard of Japan in his entire life, nor had he ever heard of Neo Den City. Unless... there was one possibility, but could it be true? It wouldn't be out of the question...

"Haruto." Steven said seriously. Haruto looked up at Steven and gave him his full attention as Steven then said. "I don't want you to freak out, just stay calm. But, I don't think you're even in your own world anymore. I have never heard of these places before..."

"A-A different world?"

"Yes, that portal might have taken you to a completely different world to your own, which is this one."

"Taken me to a different world...? I-I... I guess that makes sense..." Haruto muttered as he sighed and leaned back in exhaustion. Steven seemed to blink in confusion at Haruto's attitude as he then decided to question it. "I'm glad that you took my word and stayed calm, but it's strange that you didn't react more..."

"Huh? Oh, if you knew how weird the place I come from is, then you'de understand that portals and different worlds aren't the craziest things." Haruto gave a soft chuckle. Steven seemed to understand as he did the same, whatever world Haruto came from must be as weird as this one. "So, I want to ask, where is this place?"

"Oh, this is my cottage in Mossdeep City." Steven answered. Haruto just blinked in confusion as Steven then explained further as he noticed the look that the duelist sent him. "It's one of the cities in the Hoenn Region, think of it as like the Japan place you mentioned."

"Ah~, I see now. So, are there other regions as well?"

"Yep! As you know, we're in Hoenn." Steven answered. Haruto nodded his head in understanding, Steven then asked. "So, what are you going to do then? Do you know any way in which you are able to get back to your home?"

"Right now, no. Unless that portal ends up appearing again, I think I'm going to be stuck here." Haruto sighed. True to his words, the portal was his only lead back to his own world, unless there was some other method that he just didn't know about. Haruto then fell to his back on the bed and sighed. "I'm pretty much stuck..."

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to help you find a way home. But, how about we go outside for a bit." Steven suggested. Haruto sat up from the bed and gave Steven a confused look. "It's just so you can clear your head a bit. Having all this stress and information given to you isn't good, so how about it?"

"Sure, I guess. I need to calm a bit down anyway."

Steven and Haruto were now seen on the cliff overlooking the sea as the wind brushed against their clothes and hair, they both seemed at peace as they both smiled as they looked at the calmly moving water of the sea. The air was also incredibly fresh as no pollution or any strange smells were in the air.

"Peaceful, isn't it?" Steven asked.

"Yeah..." Haruto replied smiling. He then blinked when the water began to ripple, and not soon after, some came flying out of the water. When he saw what it was, it appeared to be an orange fish with yellow fins as well as whiskers, it also had round white eyes. "Woah, what was that?"

"That was a Magikarp, a water-type pokemon." Steven answered.

"So, that was one of these pokemon things." Haruto smiled. It seemed like this world was truly inhabited by these strange creatures, true his worlds also had strange creatures, such as Duel Monsters, but they were in the form of cards. It was common knowledge at his point in time that each card had a spirit, but this new experience was truly something.

"By the way, what is your world like? I mean, we have pokemon, but what about you?" Steven wondered curiously. Haruto blinked as he looked up at Steven, he then smiled at the young man as he then showed his duel disk. "Well, in my world, we duel each other. This is called a Duel Disk, we duel each other in a game called Duel Monsters."

"Duel Monsters? Certainly sounds interesting." Steven mused. The term 'Duel Monsters' was completely foreign to him, and it seemed to intrigue him greatly. Haruto then groaned as he suddenly gripped the side of his head with his right hand, his face showing signs of pain that caught Steven's attention. "Haruto? What's wrong?"

"I-i don't know..." Haruto replied in pain. It was getting worse as Haruto then gripped both hands onto his head and he slouched over as he then gave off a pained scream while stumbling a bit, he saw multiple images rush into his mind like a river, further increasing the pain. "Gah~!"

"Haruto?!" Steven cried in worry. He ran up next to the boy while trying to see if there was anything that he could do to help, which he couldn't because it seemed like the pain was happening inside of Haruto's head. Haruto then suddenly shot open his eyes as they dilating rapidly as the images rushed into him.

What Haruto saw was an endless pit of darkness with a massive red eye opening, then he saw what appeared to be a bunch of spheres collapsing, to where next was of two bodies of light crashing against one another. Finally, the last image he saw was of...

"Steven, there's someone here!" Haruto suddenly shouted.

"H-huh?" Steven quickly turned his head towards where Haruto had suddenly turned towards. They both waited as the sound of footsteps were now heard, and that was when someone came walking out from behind the rock that was a few meters away from them. "Impressive, to think that you would find me so easily."

"No way... this guy!" Haruto widened his eyes.

"You know him?" Steven wondered.

"Sort of, he's the guy that was chasing me." Haruto answered. Steven widened his eyes as he turned his attention to the person in front of them, the person was indeed the cloaked figure that had been chasing Haruto on the rooftops beforehand. "You truly are a descendant, aren't you? Only more the reason to destroy you."

"What is he talking about?" Steven wondered.

"I wish I knew..." Haruto grumbled. "What are you talking about?! Descendant of what?"

"Hmph, it appears that you don't even know of your own legacy." The cloaked man snorted. He then gave a light chuckle before pointing towards Haruto with his right hand. "I have already said enough, and I shall say no more! But, I will destroy you without any interruptions! Prepare yourself!"

"Who are you?!" Steven demanded.

"Me? Just call me Orion."

Steven and Haruto watched as the figure then held his left arm up as a flash of light appeared on Orion's arm, they were shocked when the light faded and a duel disk had taken its place on Orion's arm. It was golden in colour with the base being black, along with the golden blade-like attachments acting as the card slots.

"So, it's duel you want now, huh? Very well, let's do this!" Haruto shouted. He then took out his own duel disk before placing it on his arm, it activated by the orb glowing brightly along with glowing lines suddenly appearing along the base of the duel disk. "Steven, stay back! Allow me to deal with this guy!"

"R-Right!" Steven understood as he jumped back behind Haruto. He knew that it was quite obvious that the two in front of him were going to have a duel, which was definitely something he was not familiar with. So, he really had no choice but to back off and observe. 'Let's see what this duel Haruto was talking about is all about...'

"You ready, Haruto Mozaki?"

"You better believe it! Allow me to show you the pinnacle of dueling!"

"Duel!" Both duelists shouted.

Steven watched as both of them then took out their own decks and placed them into the deck slots on their duel disks, that was when the area began glowing for a second as a robotic sounding voice sounded in every direction. He was surprised by the voice that spoke as he continued to watch.

Steven was also then surprised when he looked up to see two numbers along with both of their names sudden appear above their heads, it appeared to be holographic projections. Each of the numbers had the label 'Life Points' beside them, so he could only assume that the number represented health or something.

Duel Recognised. Initiating Duel Sequence. Duel Authorised.

Orion

Haruto - 4000 LP [Hand: 5]

Orion - 4000 LP [Hand: 5]

"I'll go first! Draw!" Orion declared as he drew his first card, after they both drew their hands, as a small gust of wind was sent across the area, surprising Steven while not affecting Haruto at all. Orion looked at his hand for a second before holding a card up to Haruto before placing it on his duel disk. "I'll start this off strong by summoning forth Ancient Gear Wyvern!"

Steven watched in shock, while Haruto was in worry, as a big green mechanical wyvern suddenly crashed down onto the field as it gave an ear-piercing screech. It had glowing eyes and sharp teeth along with a skinny waist area. There was also what appeared to be a gear connecting its neck to the body along with one on its back.

"Incredible... so, this is a duel monster." Steven marveled. He knew that this monster belonged to the enemy, but he still couldn't help but be impressed by its appearance. It looked as if the monster was entirely mechanical, but he could tell that it still had a mind of its own as it screeched at them.

"This could be very bad..." Haruto groaned. Steven seemed to hear as he turned his attention to the young duelist in confusion, Steven then proceeded to ask the youth. "What? What do you mean this could be bad for you?"

"That's because if his deck is indeed of the Ancient Gears, then it will make it difficult for me to defend if he attacks me." Haruto answered. Haruto gave Steven the most simple explanation he could, he was thankful that Steven did indeed seem to understand this as he nodded his head.

"Now, I'll set a card face down before activating his effect! I am now able to add one 'Ancient Gear' card from my deck to my hand!" Orion explained. A card then appeared on the field upside down as he drew the card he wanted. "Now, since I have an Ancient Gear monster on my field that I control, I am able to special summon forth this monster face-up in the attack position! Come forth, Ancient Gear!"

They watched as a gear-like monster suddenly appeared on the field next to Ancient Gear Wyvern, it having the body of what looked like a screw with a bunch of gears. It also had mechanical arms along with a wheel-like end that helped support it to stand.

"I'll now take the time to activate the spell card known as Ancient Gear Fusion!" Orion grinned

"I'll now take the time to activate the spell card known as Ancient Gear Fusion!" Orion grinned. Haruto widened his eyes as the card appeared on the field, he knew now that the person he faced knew what he was doing. This was not going to be easy... "This card allows me to fusion summon an Ancient Gear fusion monster from my extra deck, using monsters from both my hand and/or field as materials! So, I use both Ancient Gear and Ancient Gear Wyvern to fuse!"

Steven and Haruto watched in worry as the card glowed before both his Ancient Gear Wyvern and Ancient Gear began glowing, they then floated up as both their bodies began swirling before beginning to merge with one another. Orion was just grinning under his helmet as the fusion card then shattered.

"Mechanical soldiers inheriting ancient souls! Now, form an allegiance and join, and be reborn together as a new power! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level 8! Mechanical demon god! Ancient Gear Howitzer!" Orion chanted. A loud screech was heard as both Steven and Haruto covered their faces from the strong wind that blew.

"Wh-What in the world?!" Steven cried in shock. Haruto just narrowed his eyes in worry as the mechanical beast revealed itself to them. It had red metallic plating on its 'hands' along with its knees and talons, it had a glowing red visor along with black wings and grey shining gears. It also had a long tail that looked similar to a plug for an outlet.

Ancient Gear Howitzer: [ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800] [Level: 8 Earth] [Machine/Fusion/Effect]

"Oh, crap..." Haruto muttered, though Orion and Steven heard.

"Hahaha~! It seems that you know of my Howitzer, then you should also know of his ability!" Orion laughed. He then gave a dark smile underneath his helmet as he then held his hand towards Howitzer and said. "Which I will show now! I am able to inflict one-thousand damage to your life points once per turn!"

"Oh boy!" Haruto quickly held his hands in front of his face as the cannon-like fingers on Howitzer's hands fired a blast at Haruto, to which his life points then shot down by a thousand. Steven yelled Haruto's name in worry as the life point number was decreased by a thousand. "Gah~!"

"Haruto!" Steven was surprised when Haruto screamed in pain as he appeared to have been shocked by a current of electricity. He then remembered when the voice said 'Shock Level: A', is this what it meant by that? What a horrifying thing... "D-Don't worry, I'm fine."

"You won't be soon, Haruto Mozaki. You will be crushed under my hands in this duel, and there will be no stopping me." Orion declared. Haruto just glared as he then reached for his duel disk, Orion chuckled at the sight as he then declared. "Now, turn end!"

"Then it's my turn! Draw!"

Turn 2

Haruto

Haruto - 3000 LP [Hand: 6]

Orion - 4000 LP [Hand: 3]

"I'll finish this quickly! I'll start by activating the ritual spell card known as Black Luster Ritual!" Haruto declared. Steven just seemed confused and also interested while Orion was grinning behind his helmet with wide eyes. "I am needed to tribute monsters from my hand or field whose levels add up to eight or more!"

Haruto then made what appeared to be two pots along with a slab of sorts that was on the ground between them that had a print of a shield and two swords crossing over each other appear on the field, he then discarded two of his cards into the graveyard as two lights went into each of the pots.

Steven was shocked when two torrents of energy shot out from the pots and into the air, they then began to intertwine and gather above the slab, which had in the meantime ended up standing itself up. The energy gathered from the pots then all shot onto the slab as a golden light then shot out from the slab.

"Darkness and Light intertwining with each other to bring forth a new era! Opening forth the gates of chaos! Ritual Summon! Descend! Level 8! Black Luster Soldier!" As soon as Haruto chanted this, the golden light exploded and Black Luster Soldier appeared on the field. Steven was looking at him in awe while Orion was smirking beneath his mask in excitement.

The monster was wearing blue armour with golden accents along with what appeared to be a red ponytail, the monster also had a rather lean body as well as wielding a curved sharp silver blade that radiated off a strange and powerful energy.

"Very good! It seems that you can give me an interesting duel!" Orion laughed. Haruto just smirked before saying this. "Oh, believe me, I'm not done yet! I'll now take the time to activate the spell card known as Ancient Rules! This allows me to summon forth a level five or higher monster from my hand! Come forth, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

They all watched as a lightning bolt came down from the sky, to which a loud roar was heard through the bolt. They all observed as the bolt faded away to reveal a big and powerful looking figure, a figure which looked much like a lean black dragon with beautiful yet terrifying obsidian scales.

It's eyes were glowing a deep crimson red as its limbs were rather lean as the neck was quite long, it also had very sharp claws as well as strong-looking wings and a long powerful tail that cracked the ground as it slammed it against the dirt. A powerful energy could be felt coming from it as it emitted a dense red aura.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon: [ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000] [Level: 7 Dark] [Dragon/Normal]

[Orion]

Ancient Gear Howitzer: [ATK: 1000 DEF: 1800] [Level: 8 Earth] [Machine/Fusion/Effect]

"Very good! To think that I thought this was going to be boring! This is far better than I would have thought!" Orion laughed maniacally. It seemed that this person was incredibly duel crazy, it honestly unnerved Haruto a bit, along with Steven. "Give me your best shot, Haruto Mozaki!"

"If that's what you want, it's what you get! Black Luster Soldier, destroy Ancient Gear Howitzer!"

Haruto ordered. Black Luster Soldier than jumped from his position and charged in with his blade ready, and when he arrived in front of Howitzer, he slashed at Howitzer causing the monster to shatter into particles.

"Gah~!" Orion screamed as he was shocked by the duel disk. Though, he seemed to be smiling underneath his mask the entire time. Haruto then held his hand forwards and gave his next order. "Finish him off, Red-Eyes!"

"Not so fast! I activate Howitzer's effect from the graveyard!" Orion interrupted. He had smoke coming off of him as his life points had depleted a good deal, that was when Orion's deck glowed as he explained. "Since Howitzer was defeated and destroyed in battle, I am able to special summon an 'Ancient Gear' monster from my deck, ignoring its conditions! So, come forth and wreak havoc, Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon!"

They watched in shock as a massive mechanical dragon dug through the ground and towered over them all. The monster was a massive robotic dragon with a green metallic body along with glowing red-pink lights that ran along its wings. It had multiple circular glowing eyes along with skinny legs and a long tail. It had multiple circular glowing eyes along with skinny legs and a long tail

"With that, do you still wish to continue your attack?" Orion smirked.

"Damnit..." Haruto clicked his tongue as he had to stop Red-Eyes Black Dragon from attacking, due to the fact that Ancient Gear Golem had more attack points than Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Haruto then went into a neutral stance. "I end my turn."

Orion

Haruto - 3000 LP [Hand: 1]

Orion - 2000 LP [Hand: 3]

"It's my turn! Draw!" Orion shouted. He drew his card before looking at his hand before smirking as he looked at Haruto, he then grabbed one of his cards before saying. "Alright, Haruto Mozaki! It's time that both of us start to duel seriously! And I'll start our true game off right no-!"

"Orion!"

"Huh?" Orion, along with both Haruto and Steven, all turned to look at the source of the voice. When they did, they were greeted by the sight of another cloaked figure standing on the higher spot of the cliff they were on, though you couldn't see anything other than the cloak they wore. "What do you want?"

"Stop this duel right now! The master is calling for us all, so hurry up!" The newcomer shouted. Orion seemed to raise an eyebrow under the helmet he had on before giving a small scowl, Orion turned his full attention towards the new person. "Why?! What could he possibly want with us right now?!"

"How am I supposed to know?! Just hurry up!" Orion clicked his tongue in annoyance before turning off his duel disk and facing towards Haruto and Steven as the holograms of their monsters all disappeared. "It seems like we have to settle this another day! Remember, you will be crushed by my power!"

With that, Orion pressed something on his arm as he than disappeared in a flash of light. Haruto wanted to say something but couldn't since he had already disappeared from view, he then looked at the person on the cliff that arrived not too long ago. He saw them fiddling with their arm, doing the same as Orion.

"Hey! Wait a second!" Haruto demanded. The person seemed to stop what they were doing as they looked down towards both the Hoenn Champion and the young duelist. Steven decided to step in as he then questioned with a serious look. "Tell us who you are! Who do you work for?! What is your goal?!"

"My name is of no concern to you, but just know that the members of the Order of the Dark Estrada will destroy you all." With that, the figure disappeared in an instant, leaving both Steven and Haruto to look at each other with concern as they had so many other questions.

Who were they?

What were they after?

What is their goal?
