Episode Title:
Shion Kiba.
Episode Description:
At Card Capital 2, Chrono receives an envelope from an anonymous person that contains a new Gear Chronicle card. He then accepts a quest from a boy who wants to get a card back from his grandmother's house. Chrono meets the grandmother, Reika, and attempts to explain the situation to her, but she does not trust him. To earn her trust while also improving himself, Chrono does menial tasks for Reika such as pulling weeds from her yard and buying her groceries. When Chrono returns from shopping, he is shocked to see that Shion Kiba, a popular and athletic student/cardfighter from his school, has already acquired the requested card and also earned Reika's trust (and affection). Since Chrono was there first, Shion feels that he should have the card and tries to give it to him. However, Chrono declines, thinking Shion is pitying him. Returning to the card shop, Chrono and Shion decide to resolve things with a cardfight, with the winner ultimately getting the card to fulfill the quest. Driven into a corner by Shion's Royal Paladin deck, Chrono manages to make a comeback victory with the new Gear Chronicle card he got. Although Shion gracefully accepts his loss, he vows to defeat Chrono when they fight next time.
