→Reign as Pharaoh: replaced: Millenium → Millennium
On the day he became Pharaoh, he was attacked by a common thief but was saved by [[Mahad]]. After this thief he was put through the Millennium trial and it was discovered that he was possessed and they let him go. Just minutes after that, his kingdom was attacked by [[Thief King Bakura]]. Bakura had raided the tomb of his father [[Aknamkanon]] and stolen his [[DiaDhank]] and his coffin. Atem put Bakura through the Millennium trial, but it failed. Atem anounced that Bakura's disrespect was appalling. Bakura easily defeated the [[The Sacred Guardians]] with his [[Diabound]] before Atem stepped in and challenged him with [[Obelisk the Tormentor]]. Diabound was severely injured and after almost being destroyed, Bakura fled.
Atem was awoken by a nightmare of Mahad dying in battle at the hands of Bakura. he and Mana went to Mahad's monster tablet and realized that he was in a battle with Bakura. The two headed to the Spellcaster's training grounds where Atem's troopers were being attacked by Bakura's followers. Atem used a sword to knock over some of them and got Mana to send for back up before heading in to take out the rest of the thugs. During the fight, the back up arrived but were too late. Mahad's Millenium Millennium Ring was in Bakura's hands and he was merged with his [[Illusion Magician]]. The stone tablet then fell off the cliff and almost crushed Mana but Atem was able to save her.
Bakura later returned to the kingdom to possess [[Aknadin]]. After this, he and Atem fought each other once again. Atem fought with [[Slifer the Sky Dragon]] whilst riding on horseback. While they fought, he ran past [[Dartz]], a resident of [[Atlantis]] who was to become his enemy in 3000 years (5000 years in the English version). Atem was defeated and lost his [[Millennium Puzzle]] to Bakura.
