Ash Ketchum Attends Duel Academy

Judgment Duel

Dr. Crowler angrily walked through Duel Academy's hallways, noticing all the students in red coats in the hallway that were nearby.

'Just look at them, pathetic slackers littering the campus like vermin.' He thought. 'The hallowed halls of MY Duel Academy are for the elite, not the lame and especially NOT Jaden Yuki.' And then he burst out yelling. "THAT SLIFER SLACKER HAS MADE A FOOL OUT OF ME FOR LONG ENOUGH!" Crowler's yell was so loud it caused the Slifer Red students around him to duck into a nearby classroom. "But soon he will pay most dearly for it. Soon, he will be the one who looks like a fool, but first I'll deal with that Ash brat and his rodent."

"Dr. Crowler." A voice called out.

Crowler turned to see Chazz Princeton walking up to him. "Ah, Chazz, how can I help you?"

"Let me face Ash in the elimination duel." Chazz said. "I can beat him and send him packing."

"Sorry, Chazz but you're sitting out this time around." Crowler said, making Chazz gasp. "Your skills are admirable, but I'm not willing to take any chances. The loser will be expelled from Duel Academy, so I'm making sure they face a professional duelist."

While this was going on Syrus and Ash were preparing.

"How will we do in the tag duel?" Syrus asked his partner.

"We'll be fine." Ash confidently said.

He stared at his deck intently.

"Hopefully you don't become nervous." He stated.

Chumley, Jaden, Alexis, Pikachu, Bastion, Mindy and Jasmine came up to them.

"Good luck guys." They all said.

"I'll be fine Pikachu." Ash told the mouse.

"Hopefully you win." Mindy said. She didn't want to lose Pikachu.

"We had a great time with him." Jasmine added.

Pikachu sweat dropped and smiled.

"Okay." Jaden and Bastion also sweat dropped.

"I also want to wish you good luck." Alexis said with Pikachu in her arms.

"Me too." Syrus agreed.

Their tag duel was about to begin.

"You ready?" Ash asked Syrus.

"Of course." Syrus nodded.

The two made their way to the arena.

At the main dueling stadium, the other students, teachers and the Chancellor took their seats.

"We're going to win." Ash told his partner.

Up in the stands, Alexis and Bastion were overlooking the conversation.

"Syrus really has to get it together." Bastion said.

"And now, without further ado, allow me to introduce our special guest Duelists..." Crowler announced. Two men flipped onto the stage. They were both bald in Chinese robes, one wearing orange and the other green. They had strange markings on their heads.

Alexis, Bastion, Chazz, Chumley, and Chancellor Sheppard watched astonished as they flipped over Ash and Syrus and landed on the other side.

"The Paradox Brothers!"

"Salutations, you fools." The one in orange greeted.

"Hope you're ready to duel?" The one in green asked.
