Book 4. Choices through time and space.

A, N: And here it is. The gift for celebrating 10.000 reads of my Zexal book 4 stories. At least on Q. Haven't exactly checked the other websites I post. But whatever. To celebrate I have created a Pokémon mystery dungeon/Yugioh Zexal crossover. It is only a prologue, but hope you like it.

"Woah! It is... Something is happening! Waah!".

"Are you okay? You just have to hold on a little while longer".

"N-o. I... I can't. Something is ripping me... I am slipping!".

"No! We are almost there. NO! Don't leave!".

It was a night like no other. No Pokémon in this world was outside because a terrible thunderstorm was raging. The ocean was almost flooding the beaches and all the Pokémon were hiding indoors in their make-out homes, wherever that was. However, two silhouettes were not, as they were traveling a great distance to gain footing. However, certain events caused them to part away. This is where our story begins.

Time skip.

At an ominous ancient place, where a tent shaped like a Flygon is standing, was a little Chimchar standing meters away from the entrance and staring worriedly at it. His name was Yuma, and he was known as the son of the great adventures of Kazuma and Mira. That was why there was so much pressure on this little chimp Pokémon since everyone expected him to follow in his now-death parents' footsteps. Sure, Yuma wanted to be an explorer, just like his old man. There was just a tiny problem. He was a big scaredy cat! After all, he was afraid of even entering the big known Flygon guild, where many explorer teams had been formed. They were even having a training program for total newbies like Yuma. If he just dared to enter.

"NO! I refuse to be scared by this any longer. This is it. I have to steel my courage today and enter!" He then shouted with great bravura and stepped forward on a grate built over a hole in the ground. As he did a voice then suddenly shouted.

"Pokémon detected. Pokémon detected. The footprints are Chimchar's. The footprints are Chimchar's". That of course spooked the Chimchar to no end. So much in fact that he moved away from the grate.

"That... that was too shocking!" Yuma exclaimed as he sighed deeply "Whew. I can't... I can't work up my courage to go in after all. I told myself that today was the day, but...My parents must be so disappointed in me".

Yuma sighed as he pulled forward the necklace he was wearing. It was the last relic from his parents, given to him the day his parents died. In some way, it was supposed to give him the courage to make his dreams come true. His father wanted him to discover its secrets one day. That was at least what his father had described it as in the letter he received before their death. It was first there Yuma realized they were truly gone from this world.

"I thought that holding onto my golden key would inspire me, but...I still couldn't do it. I am such a coward".

Yuma sighed again before he decided to leave this place. He felt too depressed to attempt any further. Instead, he decided to go to the beach, one of his favorite places to be when he was down. What he didn't know was that two devious Pokémon were watching him.

"Hey Coyote, did you get a load of that?".

"You bet I did, Jackal".

"That little wimp that was pacing around had something good, right?".

"That wimp had something for sure. It was golden and everything. Could be some kind of treasure".

"So, are we going after him?".
