Joey Wheeler and Rex Raptor faced each other in a game of Duel Monsters in the preliminary stage of the Duelist Kingdom tournament, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. It is based on a similar Duel from the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.
Events[]
Prior[]
After the defeat of Ghost Kaiba, Yugi Muto and his friends looked for Mokuba Kaiba but with no luck. They stumble upon some cards, but it is revealed they belong to Tristan Taylor. Yugi finds a card that looks like one of Joey's, Lava Battleguard. He searches and finds the one that matches it, Swamp Battleguard. Tristan gives Joey Lava Battleguard.
Elsewhere, Mai Valentine wins another duel but has no joy in her victory. She blames Joey for making her feel this way. She is soon greeted by Rex Raptor, who was still sore about losing his room on the way to Duelist Kingdom and challenges Mai. Rex reveals he has won 5 star chips while Mai reveals she has won 8. Mai agrees to challenge Rex on one condition...
Yugi and co. find more duelists but soon encounter Mai again and proposes Joey challenge a duelist she set up for him: Rex Raptor. In addition, Mai states an ultimatum: If Yugi were to give Joey any advice during the duel, Joey would be disqualified and Rex would win by default. Angered by Tristan, Joey accepts Mai's terms.
Before the duel begins, Mai's condition is revealed: If Rex beats Joey, she will challenge him. Both Rex and Joey wager 2 star chips each.

Turn 21: Joey
Joey draws. He then Flip Summons "Time Wizard" (???/500) in Attack Position. Joey then activates the effect of "Time Wizard" and succeeds, causing Eons to pass like seconds in the duel field. This causes Rex's Red-Eyes Black Dragon to become fossilized. When Rex tries to have Red-Eyes Black Dragon attack, it breaks apart and is destroyed and inflicts damage to Rex equal to half the ATK of "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" (Rex 840 → 0). (NOTE: In the real game, the Duel would continue, but according to the tournament rules, when a monster is destroyed by a card effect, the controller of that card will receive damage equal to half of that monster's ATK points.)
Joey wins.
