AN: Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter to 10 Minutes! I really enjoyed typing the last one for some reason, not sure why. Anyhow, last chapter was pretty important because it revealed another traitor, one I'm sure not many people saw coming.
In Case You all haven't been aware, this story was originally under the account called "ReignZ" and that was me, due to the fact that I was unable to access this account and once I did, i moved the story over from that account to this one. So when you see "ReignZ (LegionZ)" at the end of every chapter, it's me just coming back in.
Hehehehe the story is full of surprises is it not? There are sure to be many more, so keep on coming back to find out what they are.
I have never answered the question, what is SOLT? It stands for something that not many people would think of because it doesn't make a lot of sense.
Anyway, I don't really know how long this chapter is gonna be. So, I'm just gonna wing it as usual.
ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes Chapter 17
LAST CHAPTER…
"Ever heard the phrase, killing two pidegy's with one stone?
"Was it coincidence that Clemont and Serena are best friends, and Clemont KNOWINGLY would set the explosives on board with a friend on board? At one point, Serena is killing us, while at another Clemont is eliminating the competition so he can be out in front of the technology market and get away with it."
John smirked. "Clemont IS The Technology Pillar. The group was skeptical. "Now hold on man, is he crazy enough to do something as radical as that!?" Ash asked shocked.
The other girls nodded in agreement, but John held firm. "Yes, and I have proof." He turned to his girlfriend and asked her. "Do you remember when Clemont mentioned Serena?"
Jasmine paused and nodded. "Oh yes. Why?"
John looked straight at her. "You never told him the name of the girl who betrayed us."
There was a moment of silence before Jasmine gasped. She had realized Clemont's slip-up. He had said. "What can I do about Serena?" even though they had just described her as "A girl." There was no way he could've known that the girls were talking about Serena… unless…
She turned to the others. "Clemont is working with Serena."
PRESENT…
Everyone was silent. They couldn't believe it. However, while they didn't believe it, it did make sense. Nobody wanted to admit that they had been tricked. However, the person to break the silence was John.
"Now that we realize we've been fooled… the question is… how do we get him to admit it?" He questioned the group.
"We can't do anything yet. If we do we may arouse suspicion." Ash said worriedly.
John nodded. "We'll wait until we can connect them together. Until we can get proof of Clemont's slip-up, we'll need to hang low."
Jasmine, who had been in the other room, came out and said. "That's not going to happen."
The group looked surprised at her. She walked in and pointed at the TV. "Turn it on."
Elesa grabbed the TV remote and turned it on. Mr. Goodshow was seen on the TV screen. He was waving to the crowd of people that were below. He began loudly.
"Hello Everybody! It's a pleasant day here in Kanto, and I am here to reveal today that the Shadows of Legends Tournament, or SOLT, is here! The location of the tournament is Cerulean City! However, this tournament is one like no other! In this tournament, we are only accepting 128 total competitors, and they will not be single battles.
They will be double battles, and the teams will be chosen by myself! I will be trying my hardest to make the teams even. Until the final 8 teams are decided, each trainer from each side is allowed to use two Pokémon, with substitutions allowed. The battle is decided when both Pokémon from one side are unable to continue.
The tournament is starting in two weeks! You must submit an application to me via Poke Gear, and I will respond to you saying whether or not you were accepted! Remember, only the best are allowed to enter.
The rewards of winning this tournament are priceless! What will be the reward you ask? Well, we have decided that our top 2 trainers will become the honorary leaders of a NEW region that has been discovered!
This region is called the Victoria region! The two finalists, if they want, will take over said region as the Elite Four leader, and champion. They will have the ability to select their elite four with as much care as they want to, and they can also position gyms wherever they choose!
Although yes, cities have not been created, and Pokémon centers have not been established, they are being established NOW as I speak!
Other rewards include $1,000,000 to the winner in cash, and $500,000 to the runner-up.
Make sure you tell me all of your accomplishments and I will view them to see if you are telling the truth. Please ask questions to the SOLT customer service. That is all."
While the reporters mobbed Mr. Goodshow, the girls looked at their boyfriends who had a burning determination in their eyes. They could become the LEADERS of an entire region! They were determined to win… and they would not stop at any cost to be the final two standing. But then they paused.
How on earth could they be put on the same team?
Unless…
Charles Goodshow… One Week Later….
Mr. Goodshow was going through piles and piles of applications. He couldn't believe how much popularity the tournament had received. Gym leaders were allowed to enter, but not Elite four and champions.
He ran through pile after pile of applications. He was very annoyed when a trainer would say, "I made top 32 at the Kanto League!" He was slightly infuriated that people thought they could just breeze in because they got top 32. For every 100 letters, only one of those was actually a truly skilled competitor.
However, he noticed a letter simply saying. "From A.K and J.S to Mr. Charles Goodshow." He immediately knew who it was from, and tore open the letter as quickly as he could. He read softly.
Dear Mr. Goodshow,
It's me, Ash. John and I saw you on TV. We request access to both enter the tournament. I hope we don't have to explain why we want to enter said tournament, right? Also, please allow the following people into the tournament.
May Maple
Dawn Berlitz
Brock Stone, Pewter City Gym Leader
Max Maple
Misty Waterflower, Cerulean City Gym Leader
Serena Y, The victor of the Kalos League.
Why accept those we hate? This is because we want to crush them and their spirits. They will learn to fear us and what we doto people like them. Nonetheless, if it is no trouble, could you please put John and I on the same team? We want to lead a region from the ground up.
If you cannot do this, we understand. Here is our list of Pokémon. Thank you for your time.
Alpha and Omega.
He read it over again with slight shock. He had not initially accepted anyone other than Serena and Misty, but he figured that if they were certain to catch the one who killed so many people, that he would help in every way he could.
He paused and sat down, deep in thought.
Mt. Silver Base….
John and Ash were gathering supplies that they would need for the trip beforehand. Ash had chosen to use the codename Alpha, and John chose Omega. They would wear hoods during the matches, but still have their faked identities in case something went wrong. They wanted to shock Serena, shock those who thought negatively of them, and shock the world that they were still alive.
However, as they were leaving the small little village to go slightly east, where a move tutor lived, they encountered something unexpected. They noticed everyone staring at their phones and laughing hysterically. One attractive girl showed Ash the video, who grimaced. John looked as well.
It appeared to be two people having sex. For some reason they looked vaguely familiar, but the person filming it got them screaming all sorts of curse words, and then the man noticed the filmer. He had tried to run and catch the man, only to trip and fall, realizing his black pants were around his legs. The girl got up and tried to cover herself, only exposing herself more. They slammed the door shut and cried. "Oh shit we're fucked." And the cameraman burst out laughing. They both chuckled a little bit at the scene and went on their way.
They had been walking through the forest like on any other normal day, and passing through an area of thick brush and trees, when all of the sudden, a figure leapt out from the bushes and two figures following it fast.
John had no time to react as his aura guard had been down, and the first figure crashed into him. The second figure crushed ash.
"Ugh… what gives?" A girl with gigantic, bushy hair asked in annoyance. "I could ask you the same thing!" John said angrily.
"Watch where you're going!" A green-haired man said to Ash hotly. Ash exclaimed. "ME!? You jumped out of trees 3 feet thick and you're telling ME it was my fault?"
The two stood up and said. "Do you two idiots have any idea who we are?"
John and Ash were up and looked at each other in confusion. "Uh… No?" John asked.
The girl looked taken-aback. "My Name's Iris and this is my boyfriend Cilan!"
Cilan replied. "We each placed top 16 on the Unova league!" John proceeded to burst out laughing, and Ash looked at him very bewildered.
"YOU TWO ARE THE DIPSHITS WHO GOT CAUGHT DOING IT ON FILM!" He roared with laughter. Ash suddenly realized it as well and began roaring with laughter. The couple was as red as a tomato.
"S-shut up!" Cilan said.
"There's no proof it was us!" Iris argued.
"YOU'RE ALL OVER THE INTERNET! HOW IS THAT NOT PROOF ENOUGH!?" Ash cried between the laughs. The two would've argued more, before Iris noticed a figure scampering away. She immediately cried.
"AFTER IT!" She ran off and cilan said. "Later pussies." Before running after his girlfriend. That infuriated the two males. They decided to take a detour and follow the duo and see what would happen.
They tracked the duo for ten minutes or so, until they came to a giant rock that led off to a huge cliff. Iris looked like she was slowly moving towards something, and Cilan was watching her with a menacing grin on his face. The two males peered over and saw a terrified baby Pokémon. It looked newborn. It was a little Eevee. Its tail was between its legs, and was shaking slightly. Just then, the Eevee had backed its way to the very edge of the cliff. Ash rushed in to help while John dealt with the two.
Thirty Minutes Prior…
'Hm? What is this?' The figure looked around. It appeared to be in some sort of jail. It was almost pitch black. It was confused. It couldn't remember anything prior to the moment that it was in now.
After 5 minutes or so, the figure decided to try and break free of the jail. It slammed its body into the walls holding it prisoner. At first nothing happened. But then, little by little, the jail broke. The figure one last heave and the walls totally broke through. The figure tumbled out of the jail and flopped down on the ground.
The light was blinding it. The figure couldn't see until a figure materialized in its view. A smiling Glaceon appeared in itsvision. "Mom!" The figure cried. The tiny little Eevee snuggled up next to its parent who greeted the baby with a smile.
All seemed well. That was until just 10 minutes had past since it broke out of the egg, and then Pokémon moves were sent all over. The eevee turned and saw two people running at them with evil smiles on their faces. Her mother cried. "GO!"
But then, something happened that she would never, ever forget. She could only watch in slow motion as a tree was sliced down from an opposing Pokémon called Fracture, and fell down on top of her mother. She cried in terror. She heard her mother whisper, "Run… my baby… run… find a new home…" Before gasping softly and dying right in front of her.
She watched as her mother faded away. She would've cried if not being pursued by two maniacs. Her mother was dead. She was a Pokémon called an Eevee. She was very small. These Pokémon were bad. That was all she knew at the moment.
She could hear the people right behind her, and she was running out of breath. She broke through a thick brush only to crash into a tree of some sort.
She was certain she had been caught, but she was too exhausted to move. She heard talking, and wondered why she wasn't captured yet. However, after maybe 5 minutes or so, she got up and ran off, hoping they didn't notice her. However she heard someone cry "AFTER IT!"
She squealed and ran as fast as her paws could take her. She ran for ten minutes or so, until she reached a cliff. She gasped and whirled around to see the girl slowly closing in on her. She whimpered and put her tail between her legs, signaling her fear. She backed up as far as she could go to the cliff.
She was so terrified. This was beyond horrible. She had been alive for less than 30 minutes and already her life was a disaster. And just then, she slipped. Her back paws fell out from under her, and she slowly fell backwards, and off the cliff.
Ash and John…
John saw the Eevee falling and used Aura speed to race towards the distraught Pokémon. He grabbed it by its mane and pulled her back into his arms. The Eevee shivered and shed tears onto his coat.
Iris cried. "THAT'S MY EEVEE YOU BITCH!" She raced towards John with malice in her eyes, only to get socked in the gut by Ash. She groaned and doubled-over from pain. "You asshole. Get the fuck away from us." He snarled.
Cilan attempted to punch Ash, but he grabbed Cilan's arm, twisted it behind his back, and kicked the back of his knee, causing him to howl in pain. Ash whispered in Cilan's ear. "Don't EVER, Fuck with us again. This is a warning."
Cilan got up slowly and helped Iris limp away as well. John got up and released the Eevee from his grip. However, the moment he did, the Eevee sprinted away and dashed into the forest. The two looked at each other before deciding not to pursue it.
They duo then flew back to Mt. Silver base, continuing their shopping spree.
Eevee…
The moment the man released her, she scampered off before they could even talk to her. She made a mad dash into the brush, but she stopped when she heard no foodsteps. She peeked out of the bushes and saw the two looking in the forest, but then calling out Pokémon and flying away. She blinked. Why hadn't they gone after her?
She thought to herself. 'Mom's dying words… find a home…Was this what she meant? Find a trainer who's going to take care of me?'
She thought for another moment or so before deciding. She would follow their scent for as long as she could and find the boys. She ran off, tracking the smell. But after countless hours of running, a devastating snowstorm hit. She battled against the wind, but the snow was taking its toll on her. She was freezing. She whimpered as she was losing the scent on the boys.
However, after 30 minutes of battling the storm, she couldn't go on. She had to find shelter or else she would freeze to death. And as if by a miracle, she saw a little hut in the middle of nowhere. She had totally forgotten about the scent. Nonetheless, she slowly limped to the door, huddled into the doorway, and tried to get warm.
John…
They were at the move tutor's house. They had chosen to make the trip that they had detoured from anyway, and were negotiating new moves when a freak storm hit. After 30 minutes or so had past, Ash said to him, "Storm isn't supposed to end for a couple hours. Bob's letting us stay here till it passes."
He nodded. "Thank him for me mate."
"Will do." Ash replied before going away. John looked outside at the raging snowstorm. It looked dreadful outside, but something was telling him to go out. He opened the front door and looked around. The snow thankfully didn't get inside while he stared amongst the cold, barren wasteland. He was just about to close the door when he heard a soft "Ev."
He looked down and gasped. It was the baby Eevee from before! What was it doing here? He noticed the poor baby had frostbite on it's paws, and it looked near frozen to death. He scooped up the Pokémon in his arms and slammed the door shut. He rushed into the living room with the small little Pokémon in his arms. The Eevee itself was no larger than his hand.
Bob, a man in his late thirties with short black hair, noticed the Pokémon and cried. "Oh my god!" Ash saw it and gasped and looked for John for confirmation, who nodded and said. "Come on!"
Twenty minutes passed. John had made a bath for the Eevee to try and help with the Hypothermia/Frostbite. Bob gave them any spare potions he had to try and help the mortally wounded Pokémon.
Ash sat and watched the Eevee in the small, little bucket that had been turned into a hot bath. The eevee stirred slowly and looked around before noticed Ash smiling at it. It cooed happily. "Eeeeeeevvv!"
Ash smiled and said. "Actually, my friend was the one who found you." The Pokémon looked surprised that he could communicate with her, but smiled and cooed "Eeeev ev" before closing its eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
Charles Goodshow…
He was staring in slight disbelief out of a window. He had been just about to finalize the list of competitors, mere SECONDS to be exact. However, before he could, one final letter was brought to him. He noticed Ash's handwriting and opened it. To his complete surprise, only 5 words were crudely scribbled onto the piece of paper, but those five words would change quite a bit.
Add Cilan and Iris Please.
AN: Awwwww shit Iris and Cilan are fucked too lol. Never really liked either of them to be honest. Yes yes I know… another Eevee. I love Eevee. Don't judge fam.
This was a nice chapter in my opinion; average sized and solid. Please make sure to comment letting me know how I did.
Thanks guys! Hope you enjoyed!
