*THIS PARAGRAPH BELOW IS UPDATED 2 MONTHS AFTER THE ORIGINAL CHAPTER HAD BEEN POSTED*
Hey Guys, Please Disregard the Rules for the SOL Below Under Where it says "Last Chapter"Their opponent is still the same, but as I went back I realized Itotally goofed up on the tourney ranking system from how I actually wanted it to happen. How the tournament rankings will work are like such:
- Each Team is assigned two total battles. Depending on how well you perform in each battle affects your odds of making it into the final 16 teams. (EX: If a Team goes 1-1 but plays much better overall than a 2-0 team that just managed to eke by, They still have a chance to make top 16)
- If you are selected into the Top 16, you will be ranked as one of the top 16, and then bracket play begins. EX: Rank 2 Plays 15, Rank 1 Plays Rank 16, etc.
- This way the best overall team plays the team that just barely managed to make it in. This process will continue until 2 teams remain. They will battle for the championship.
- It is 2 Pokemon per trainer up until the final 4 teams, when it becomes 6 Pokemon per trainer.
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.
Andddddd that's it. Enjoy everyone!
ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes Chapter 19
Last Chapter…
"Good Evening. Tonight, I will announce the rules and teams of the Shadows of Legends Tournament. The rules will go on as this: There will be three total rounds of round robin play. Only so many teams may exist. The first 64 teams to win 2 out of their 3 games are moving on to the elimination games. Until the final 8 teams remain, each trainer will be allowed to use two Pokémon and the battle will be over when all four Pokémon from one side cannot continue. Furthermore, substitutions mid-battle are not allowed until the final 8 teams have been decided."
"The final 8 teams may use 3 Pokémon per trainer with mid-battle substitutions permitted. The team that wins is declared the tournament champion, except there will be one final battle to determine the all-time champion. The two people on the winning team will perform a 6v6 final battle against each other! It's bound to be an amazing tournament, and now… the teams."
He turned around to see the television screen behind him. "If you see your name underneath your face, you are in the tournament, and your partner is next to you! Your first-round robin battle is also listed!"
The group held their breath and person after person flew by. Their shock was growing higher and higher and worry was increasing by the millisecond as their hooded faces did not show up. Ash looked nervous, John looked patient. Finally, on the final group, their hooded faces appeared with Ash as Alpha and John as Omega. The girls sighed in relief.
However, just before they walked out the door after passionately kissing each of their girlfriends, the phone rang.
John picked it up. "Hello?" He paused. "Yeah. It's me." Another pause; Much longer than the first one, however. John's eyes suddenly widened. "What?" He stopped again. "I'm on my way." He slammed the phone down and said. "The Eevee is still alive."
Ash looked shocked. "W-what?" John nodded slowly as fresh tears attacked his eyes. "Our little Eevee is still in the world."
Present…
John rushed into bob's house as though his ass was on fire. Bob was sitting on the couch by the fireplace looking at a figure that was in a small little bed.
"How is she still alive?!" John couldn't believe it. Bob looked at him matching slight disbelief. "I wouldn't know. I found her lying in the same spot you said you found her before, huddled in the doorway. I thought she was dead and somebody had brought her to me, but she weakly cooed at me before passing out. John walked over. It was indeed the little Eevee. He was slightly shocked that the little baby was still alive but relieved nonetheless. The baby had cuts and bruises all over her body. He felt a slight pang of pain and regret for not taking the little Pokémon with him. He looked at bob. "What happened? The complete story if you could…"
Bob paused. "Well… I had just gotten back from the store when I felt like something was off when I was walking towards the house so I picked up my pace a little and ran towards the house. I saw her there in the doorway in the same spot, like you would save her again. I couldn't believe it at first but I recognized her and immediately brought her inside. She whimpered softly before passing out in my arms. I did everything I could to make her healthy again and then I called you." John nodded slowly and walked over to the poor baby. She had an extremely high fever, many broken bones, and appeared to be very malnourished. John immediately said, "I can heal her here and now… stand back."
Bob could only gawk in utter shock as John's hands glowed blue. John took the Eevee in his arms and let the blue glow attack her body. The little Pokémon glowed a bright blue and all of the sudden, her wounds were totally gone. She was no longer malnourished and her fever was gone as well.
Bob couldn't believe what he had seen. It was simply unbelievable. John quickly put the tiny fox on the floor and pressed his ear to its chest. He listened very closely for any kind of noise, and then gasped when he heard a heartbeat. He sighed in relief. "She's alive."
And then, as if on cue, the little Eevee opened its eyes, and squealed. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvv!" John smiled ruefully as the little Pokémon ran around in circles in uncontained joy. John picked up the little Pokémon and she snuggled into his arms. John smiled and pulled the Eevee out so he could look at it. It sat down in the palm of his hand and wagged it's tail happily. John smiled and handed her to Bob. The Eevee gasped. NO! NOT AGAIN! PLEASE NO! She squealed. "EEEEEVV!" However, this time, it was different. John said. "This man saved your life. You should thank him!" The little Pokémon paused, thinking carefully before licking bob's face. He smiled at it. "I'm sorry little guy."
The eevee huffed. "Eeev eve v." John suddenly burst out laughing. Bob looked confused as did the Eevee. "What?" Bob questioned.
"She's a girl!" Eevee blushed a bit while Bob did the same. However, John started towards the door, and the Eevee cried. "EEEV EEV EEEEEEEEV!" John smiled playfully while still facing away, trying to tease the little Pokémon. Just before he reached for the doorknob, he paused and laughed knowingly. "Ah yes… I almost forgot." He turned around and walked back to the hopeful Eevee with tear-stained eyes. He took her out of bob's arms and held her out for a moment. She looked curious. He smiled. "Well… would like to come with me?"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVV!" She cried in joy before running around in circles in his palm. She sprinted up his arm and licked his face relentlessly. John laughed and took out a pokeball. He put it on the baby who cooed in happiness before vanishing inside.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Click.
John immediately called her back out. She was still running around in circles. She had found her trainer again! She was his Pokémon now! She couldn't have been happier! John shook hands with Bob and opened the door. For a brief moment, the Eevee was scared that he was leaving her again. However, he only held the door open and asked her. "Well are you gonna come along or do you not wanna be my Pokémon?"
The Eevee was out in a flash. She was still overjoyed to be with her trainer. John called out his Golurk, which he had trained up from a Golett. The little Pokémon gawked at the titanic Pokémon before it. John laughed and picked up the Eevee in one arm. He felt her cuddle in the crevice that connected his bicep and triceps. John whispered to her. "I'm gonna take you home." She cooed happily before they flew off.
Some Time Later…
John walked inside the house, and the five people there looked at him with hope deep in their eyes. John smiled a bit as an extremely tiny Eevee came scampering in right behind him. It cried happily. The girls squealed. It was so cute! Ash smiled. The girls were taking turns holding it, and for once, it appeared to be comfortable. However, after a few moments of being away from her trainer, she eagerly ran back to him and sat at his legs, waiting for him to pick her up. John reached down and put the little Eevee on his head. It snuggled on his soft hair. Jasmine giggled. "It loves your hair as much as I do." She kissed him firmly, and John didn't hesitate to squeeze her bum a little bit. She looked unhappy for a moment. "It's sad to know we won't see each other for awhile…"
John smiled. "It makes the reunion that much better doesn't it?" She smiled back. "You're always a half-glass-full type of guy, Johnathon Stamkos." John pouted. "I told you not to call me that." She almost believed it, that was until she saw the corners of his mouth twitched a little. She playfully hit him. "Suck it up buttercup. You've got some ass to kick at a tournament don't you?" John nodded and said. "Time to go Ashy."
Ash groaned a bit as he walked out. John placed the Eevee down and it looked up at him. "Now, I have to go compete in a tournament. Don't worry, I'll see you very soon!" He turned to walk out, his 6 most powerful Pokémon on his belt, and his reserve team in his backpack. However, the little Pokémon wouldn't let him leave.
"Eeeeeeeeevv!" It wailed. (Noooo! Please don't leave me here!) John looked at it, thinking carefully. He decided after a moment or so. "Come on." He held his palm out to the little Pokémon, who happily ran up and settled onto his hair once again. He chuckled a little before walking out.
Cerulean City… Three days before tournament...
The two boys walked into town with a wave of confidence trailing in their wake. They didn't know most people here, nor did they care. They were prepared to fight anyone at any time. They each had 12 total Pokémon with them, one was their "Ace" team. They were the Pokémon that had the most battle experience and talent. They also had their "Backup" teams. These backup teams were basically twice as powerful as a champion's Pokémon. Their aces were basically invisible.
John and Ash had robes on that made them look like they were from assassins creed. Ash wore black robes and John wore white robes, Ash's codename was Alpha, and John's was Omega. They walked into the Pokémon center cautiously. Tons of people were in front of them; it was gonna be a long wait. Inside John's robes, his little Eevee was snuggling on his shoulder, purring happily. He smiled softly. Finally, after an hour of waiting, Nurse Joy called. "Next!"
Ash walked up with John at his side. She looked slightly frightened as she accepted both of their pokedex's. Ash silently prayed the fake pokedex's would work. After a few moments, she handed them back smiling, although it looked very forced. "You're now entered for the tournament, good luck!" She smiled.
And then it happened. Screams and cries of terror and fear were all around them. John whirled around to see men and women in black uniforms stealing Pokémon from trainers outside. They instantly ran outside and prepared to fight.
The men and women noticed the two hooded figures and panicked slightly; they looked extremely badass. However, one man, presumably an officer, screamed at them, and they gained the confidence, or maybe more fear, and charged. One man whipped out a shock baton. "For team rock- UGH!" The first man had swung his shock baton at Ash, who had grabbed it without getting injured, and kicked the man in the stomach. He smacked the next female who rushed him with it, and elbowed the next grunt in the face. He twirled around shocking anyone who got too close to him.
The officer charged him with 4 grunts as well. Ash looked over to John, who was attempting to break open a cage filled to the brim with Pokémon. Ash knew John needed more time, so he threw the shock baton at the officer. The man had no time to react and grunted in disbelief. The grunts stopped running to stare at their officer who was dying. The baton had impaled the man in the heart.
After a moment, he wheezed softly and fell over. The grunts screamed and ran away. Just then, John broke the lock on the crate, and all the Pokémon ran away. Ash and john smiled at their handiwork, before someone yelled. "Those two guys defeated team rocket!" Before long, cheers from all sides were being heard. They smiled at the praise, before someone yelled. "Wait, WE stopped team rocket!"
The duo turned to see Dawn Berlitz and May Maple blowing kisses to the crowd, who was also giving them credit. Ash disguised his voice making it sound much deeper, and yet huskier. "Oh Yeah? What did you do then?"
Dawn almost stuttered at the huskiness in his voice. "I-I… I mean… WE called out Pokémon and saved innocent people and Pokémon that were trapped in that cage there!" She pointed to the same cage that John had broken moments earlier. Ash snorted. "Fat Chance!" May shrieked. "Are you calling us liers?!"
Ash said mock-confused. "Uhhhh…. Yes?" May smirked. "Then how about we battle for it? Me and Dawn here versus you and your idiot friend, sound good?"
John interrupted. "Idiot friend, did you say? At least I don't have a DRINKING problem like your friend over there!" Everyone who heard the roast laughed at Dawn, who turned a bright shade of pink. Dawn defended herself and her friend. "Hey! She's better than you'll ever be asshole!"
John grinned madly. "Well at least I didn't have sex with my younger siblings." The crowd gasped and turned to look at May, who looked like a deer in headlights. She stammered. "T-t-that's not t-true in the s-s-s-slightest!" Ash grinned. "Who's the idiot now?"
May growled. "Let's battle bitch."
Time Skip… Ten Minutes…
(BATTLE RULES: 1 Pokémon PER TRAINER, Double battle with no subsitutions)
Alpha and Omega stood calmly while the fuming girls stood on the other side of the field. May called out her first Pokémon.
"Alright Blaziken, it's your turn!" Dawn followed. "Mamoswine, spotlight!" As their Pokémon took respective battle stances, John called out his Pokémon. "Jolteon, lend me your aura."
"Charizard, let's do this!" The four Pokémon now on the field stood/flew snarling at each other. The referee in the middle said. "Ready? Battle begin!" May went first. "Blaziken, blaze kick!" With considerably fast speed, Blaziken charged in with it's foot a bright orange. Ash ordered. "Use steel wing to make a divet in the ground!" Charizard swung down and created a large hole which blaziken tripped over when charging for Jolteon. "Jolteon, Charge Beam!" John ordered. Jolteon opened it'smouth and fired off a bright beam of yellow electricity. Dawn yelled. "Mamoswine, step in front of it, QIUCK!"
John grinned. "Jolteon, Curve it!" To the two girl's utter shock, the beam of electricity swung around Mamoswine and struck Blaziken head on. It howled in pain. Ash called. "Flamethrower!" Charizard followed suit with a wave of flames coming from it's gaping mouth. Mamoswine had no time to react as it was struck. Dawn snarled. "Earthquake!" Ash yelled. "Hit it with fire blast! Quick!"
But it wasn't fast enough. Mamoswine got off an earthquake before the fire blast struck. It didn't affect Charizard at all, but Jolteon shuddered in pain. On the bright side, Mamoswine also had no time whatsoever to react and the fire blast engulfed it in a bright blue flame. Unlike Jolteon, who got up relatively fast, Mamoswine did not.
"Mamoswine is unable to battle!" Dawn snarled at the two as she returned her Pokémon. John grimaced and sent telepathically. "Are you okay buddy?" Jolteon replied. "Yeah… sure hurts though…" Ash had an idea. "Charizard, Thunderpunch!" May countered. "Use Fire Punch when it gets close!"
Charizard flew up into the sky with it's fist glowing yellow. Blaziken jumped up to meet it. Ash grinned. "SHE FELL FOR IT!" Before May could question what he meant. Charizard came flying down and slammed it's electric fist into it's target.
Jolteon.
The crowd gasped in disbelief when Jolteon glowed yellow, and had a savage grin on it's face. All of the sudden, John roared. "HALF POWER THUNDER!" "H-half?" May stuttered. And then it happened. Jolteon cried loudly as the sky turned dark and stormy almost instantly. It took her a moment to realize their plan. "Oh No!" She cried.
Charizard grabbed Blaziken and took to the skies. Once at an Optimal Altitude, he tossed Blaziken into the air and dove through the wind towards the ground. Jolteon roared and all of the sudden, Blue Thunderbolts were amongst the clouds. Booms and crashes were heard, and then a figure came soaring out of the clouds. Rather, it was falling to the ground.
It slammed into the ground with a half ton pound of dirt in it'swake. It was Blaziken. And what shocked everyone, even John and Ash, was that it was still standing. It looked very bruised but still standing. However, it looked very intimidated by the strong Pokémon in front of it. Ash and John smirked at each other before asking May.
"Do you surrender!?" May scoffed. "You'll need to do better than that to beat my Blaziken!" The two looked at one another in questioning glances. They then shrugged their shoulders in unison before yelling together. "THEORY OF DOOM!"
Charizard fired off a gigantic wave of flames and Jolteon fired off a Bright blue thunderbolt. The two combined beams then combined to have a swirling blast of energy come roaring towards Blaziken, who took a step back in terror.
"Blaziken, Fire Blast!" May cried.
It reluctantly fired off the most powerful fire type move it knew, but to everyone's shock, the blast got consumed by the absurdly strong beam, and upgraded the damage it was about to sustain. The explosion was defeaning, and the flash that it brought was blinding. The power nearby went completely out. The hair of some spectators caught on fire.
When the storm of black smoke cleared, nobody had to be a genius to know the result. "Blaziken is unable to battle, Charizard and Jolteon win! Therefore, the winners of the battle are Alpha and Omega!"
The crowd was shocked. They didn't even stay to accept the praise of a victory, they returned their Pokémon and walked off the field, seemingly emotionlessly. The girls on the other side of the field, had totally paled. Whoever these two men were, they were insanely strong, and defeating them would prove to be impossible.
AN: Onwards to Chapter 20!
