[edit] Story
Yugi Muto (romanized as Yugi Mutou in the English-language manga) has strange recurring nightmares about the Pharaoh being captured by an evil monster with glowing red eyes. This is bothering him immensely, especially since his Millennium Puzzle always starts acting strange afterwards.
Solomon Muto (known as Sugoroku Mutou in the English-language manga and the Japanese versions), Yugi's grandfather, recently went on a "secret expedition" and is supposed to be back already. Yugi is worried about the fact that Grandpa is missing, but when Joey Wheeler (Katsuya Jonouchi) wins a trip for four to India, Yugi puts his mind off it.
Meanwhile, there is a new game on the block. The Capsule Monsters board game is the new thing in the Duel Monsters craze, and Yugi has already taken the opportunity to learn it. When Joey breaks the news about the trip, Yugi, Tristan Taylor (Hiroto Honda), and Téa Gardner (Anzu Mazaki) are excited. When the plane is close to its final destination, the engines cut out, and the gang crash land in a mysterious forest, where they find a man who says his name is Dr. Alex Brisbane.
When Yugi lets slip to Brisbane that he is Solomon Muto's grandson, Brisbane tells him that he's a colleague of Grandpa, and on their latest expedition together he disappeared. Now Yugi knows just where Grandpa had gone, but the Pharaoh still suspects something. They just happen to win a trip; their plane happens to crash; and they just happen to meet the man who was the last person to see grandpa. It all seems a little bit coincidental. Brisbane shows Yugi and the gang where he last saw Grandpa, and to the gang's surprise, it's a Pyramid.
Brisbane explains that he believes it to be the legendary Pyramid of Alexander the Great, and that it's supposed to contain some sort of ancient game. They check it out, narrowly avoiding an array of dangerous traps, and come across a room that, as Tristan put it, is the size of Cleveland. The floor looks like a giant map of different land types, which looks incredibly familiar to Yugi. Joey decides to check it out but, to everyone's surprise, disappears into thin air the second he steps on the map. Coming to the conclusion that Grandpa must have gone to the same place as Joey, the rest of the gang decide to follow, leaving a bewhildered Brisbane behind.
They find themselves in a forest, with Joey nowhere to be seen. Yugi notices a lot of egg-shaped rocks around, but before they can investigate, they're ambushed by some giant cockroaches (Gokibores) and a giant praying mantis (Dice Mantis, previously known as Kamakiriman). Their escape causes them to have to split up.
Yugi is cornered by the mantis, so the Pharaoh takes over to protect him. He accidentally touches one of the strange egg-shaped rocks whilst jumping, which somehow causing Celtic Guardian to appear. Celtic Guardian attacks the mantis, destroying it.
Meanwhile, Tristan and Téa escape the cockroaches by ducking into a cave. They find themselves on a beach, accompanied by two monsters: Thunder Kid and Happy Lover.
At the same time, Joey is in fact up high on a mountain, looking over onto the forest that the gang are in, hearing Yugi's shouting. Suddenly, a giant bird (Kurama) comes up behind him and grabs him by the shoulders, flying away with Joey still in his claws.
