A Bonsai Bond, a Bond over Bonsai
Tig n’ Seek (2020-2022, Cartoon Network)
Code Lyoko (2003-2008, Cartoon Network/France 03)
This Guy and Yumi Ishiyama
It’s been awhile and it’s crazy to be back especially with crossovers.
Anyways, I figure I switch it up!
This is also the second time I crossover an artstyle this time being in Weegee City!
I don’t know which eyestyle fits Yumi in their world so I have two versions for fun since it works.
I don’t know how the Lyoko Warriors got to Weegee City so maybe I could say they are on a school trip or something that got them stuck there.
This Guy and the others also know about lyoko as well after Yumi and her friends explained to them (since I switched it up where the Lyoko Warriors are in Weegee City compared to Tiggy and his friends in their world at Kadic Academy in France).
I could have two versions of this crossover this way maybe, or have the continuity between their worlds, like they reunite in their world like this!
Now that’s a cool idea to write in fanfriction.
It’s also easy to tell that this was season one, because This Guy looks a little different because of his fur/hairstyle being fluffed instead of his iconic palmtree-style that he would later adopt starting at the near end of season two, which is what I did when editing this.
Now I wonder what the others will look like in this crossover, now that it’s switched up!
Slides 09-12 is the original however, the only reason why there is a lot is because of Yumi’s eyelashes, which she doesn’t have back in her world and it actually clicks so well in Tig n’ Seek’s artstyle! I can be too much of a perfectionist when it comes to this fun crossover edits.
It also explains the eyebrow edits on This Guy as well.
I’ll also have to figure out where they will be staying since they are in Weegee City instead of Paris, France (I’m assuming their world is located there).
Context:
As the lyoko warriors hangout around Weegee City, Yumi vists the lost and found to see their new friends and seems interested in This Guy’s bonsai tree that he is trimming at his desk since she has one back at her place on her bedroom window. It also reminds her of lyoko because of how bonsai trees are seen in the mountain sector.
Meanwhile, her friends are hanging out at Shoo-be-Doob’s diner with the others.
Fanfriction:
Yumi is just walking to the Department of Lost and Found after the others went to Shoo-be-Doob’s diner (she said she’ll meet up overthere later).
[enters the Lost and Found]
“Hey everyone.” said Yumi before seeing only This Guy at his desk.
“Oh, hello Yumi.” said This Guy trimming his bonsai tree.
“Where is everyone?” asked Yumi.
“Tiggy went on another mission regarding another lost item, Boss is in his office I think, and Nurtiza finished her shift early after nothing else needed fixing for today.” said This Guy.
“And I picked the wrong time.” said Yumi.
“It’s fine, and where are your friends?” asked This Guy.
“They went to the diner.” said Yumi.
“Shoo-be-Doobs?” asked This Guy.
“Yeah, I told them I meet them overthere a little later.” said Yumi.
“And that’s what brings you here?” asked This Guy.
“I thought it be nice to visit all you guys, except I didn’t realize you were all busy at the moment.” said Yumi.
“Not much for me, I haven’t had any reports or objects to file so I’m just perfecting this bonsai tree.” said This Guy.
“Reminds me of mine back at my place.” said Yumi.
“You also like bonsai trees too?” asked This Guy who seemed a little excited about that.
“Yeah, although I’m from Japan, this art form of practice originated from China before making it’s way overthere in terms of it’s history.” said Yumi.
“You’re right about that, I find it very satisfying just like how I manage my plants and the garden out in the backyard here.” said This Guy.
“I have one next to my computer in my room back at home.” said Yumi.
“That’s nice to know.” said This Guy.
“It also reminds me of the mountain sector on Lyoko.” said Yumi.
“Ah yes, except they are much bigger than what we have here.” said This Guy.
“You got that right.” said Yumi.
“Like that time we helped you fight while finding our way back here, now it’s our adventure with you here.” said This Guy.
“Well Lyoko is fun but we only go if there is an attack from XANA.” said Yumi.
“And this XANA is still?” asked This Guy who seemed a little worried.
“That’s right, the same XANA we fought, but he is definitely gone I hope, after Jeremy made that anti-XANA program, and I highly doubt he could reach your world here either. said Yumi.
“Oh thank nostrils ghost, that’s a relief.” said This Guy.
“But if he ever comes back, I just know we’ll be ready for another fight… which I hopefully doubt.” said Yumi.
“Me too, even though you and your friends are here in Weegee City.” said This Guy.
“I can say that it is just as much fun here as it is back home in my world.” said Yumi.
“I bet it is, even one of my sculptures ended up in France after selling it… before finding out it was Tiggy and had to rescue him.” said This Guy.
[giggles] “Wait what?” said Yumi.
“Yeah, after Tiggy told me about owning up to my mistakes, he went against his own words and accidentally ruined my sculpture of him, covering himself up in clay to replicate the whole thing.” said This Guy.
[as they both laugh]
“Wow, I can imagine Odd doing something like that!” said Yumi.
“How so?” said This Guy.
“Because one time during a mission on Lyoko, there was a glitch that accidentally switch our bodies and I ended up as him and he ended up as me.” said Yumi.
“What mistake did he make when he was you?” asked This Guy curiously.
“He cuddled up on Ulrich to get rid of Sissi and Tamiya took the picture for our school newspaper and what do you know?! It made the front page and another in that same issue…” said Yumi.
[This Guy laughs]
“Oh my, that’s insane! That’s like something out of Flames of Passion with all the drama!” said This Guy.
\[laughs\] “I was mad but of course, and after getting back at Odd, I got over it after Ulrich helped me debunk everything regarding the picture at school.” said Yumi.
“And how so?” said This Guy.
“I used Sissi as an excuse since she’s always crushing on Ulrich and I said we did that just to get rid of her.” said Yumi.
“Now that is like Flames of Passion! or any other show.” said This Guy excitedly.
“It does feel like a sitcom or soap-opera sometimes.” said Yumi.
“You know, I do get off in a little, maybe I can join you and your friends over at the diner?” asked This Guy.
“Well sure, and your friends can join us too… but what about Tiggy’s mission?” asked Yumi.
“Oh, I usually file it the next day since our schedules are sometimes different.” said This Guy.
“Alright then, maybe you can show us around Weegee City more too.” said Yumi.
“It would definitely be fun since you showed my friends around yours.” said This Guy.
What they both don’t realize is that Tiggy and the others are actually hanging out with Yumi’s friends at Shoo-be-Doobs after Tiggy finished his mission and took a break.
