ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes Chapter 21
LAST CHAPTER…
"Hello everyone! My name is Brittany Jones reporting for the PPBS, and I'm here to bring an update on the Shadows of Legends Tournament! On this night, we had one single battle to open up the tournament, with Sinnoh natives Dawn Berlitz and Kenny Williams up against the Cloaked warriors, Alpha and Omega!"
"Alpha and Omega were slightly favored to win the battle before any moves had been called, with the odds of 59-41 percent in their favor. However, by the second battle, the odds had swerved to a whopping 92-8 percent in their favor! Dawn and Kenny stood no chance against these two and their teamwork stalled as a result. Alpha and Omega swept the two trainers 4-0, with Alpha's Pikachu and Infernape fighting alongside Omega's Alakazam and Sawk! Dawn used her Floatzel and Lopunny, with Kenny using his Breloom and Empoleon, respectively."
"With the help of strong power, high stamina, and creative strategies, Alpha and Omega easily knocked off the duo and are currently not sure who their next opponents will be, unlike the opponents they just had. The team of AO (Alpha and Omega) rises to 1-0, and needs just one more win in round robin play to secure a spot in the elimination battles! The team of DK (Dawn and Kenny) falls to 0-1, with an already scheduled matchup against team Roark West and Miley Politx four days from now! Tomorrow, half of the scheduled battles will take place, with the other half on the day after."
"Please make sure you come back to see more battles tomorrow and tune in for the PPBS (Post Pokémon Battle Show) for more results on your region's best trainers! Until tomorrow night, this is Brittany Jones, signing out!"
PRESENT TIME
"AND THAT'S IT! THE FIRST ROUND OF BATTLE'S IS OVER!" The announcer roared from the TV. Ash and John watched the news with little emotion in their eyes. John was gently stroking Eevee's fur, and she was purring softly. She was still very small and unable to battle, but she was incredibly adorable and had grown attached to her master. She refused to leave his side. Currently, they were watching the aftermath of the first round. Everyone was eagerly awaiting what the reporters had to say, and if they would be ranked in the top 10. Then, three people took the stage.
"Hellloooo Everyone! My name is Jessie!" A pink haired woman said. "My name's James." A blue haired man said. "And Meowth's the name!" A Pokémon said. At the same time, they all said. "AND WE'LL BE ANALYZING THE FIRST ROUND OF THE TOURNAMENT!" Ash and John eagerly were waiting to see what they had to and Pikachu were also listening intently. They began.
"How about the first round aye?" James commented.
"Dig it! There were highly overachieving teams and then there were twerps!" Meowth said. Jessie nodded. "Agreed. So we're outlining our favorite performances, least favorite performances, and top 10 ranks!"
"So, who do you lugs think performed good?" James began. "I believe the team of Iris and Cilan from Unova performed with a swift dominance that few teams can match against!" Ash and John groaned. Iris and Cilan had knocked off their opponents in just a total of seven moves. Iris used Haxorus while Cilan used Simisage. Jessie nodded. "Agreed. Their battle style is simply to outrightly eliminate their opponents before they can get started, which is a very solid strategy with a solid hitter like Haxorus leading the charge."
"Dig this though; their opponents had the type disadvantage and were the youngest trainers invited to compete. It wasn't like we didn't see this coming!" Meowth argued. James agreed. "True point. With no experience comes little will nor intelligence to fight. Also, their opponents, named Yager Quetata and Bobby Rechald, had never been to Unova before, so they were unsure of any Pokémon or the moves they used." John and Ash were impressed. They clearly knew what they were talking about. Then, they began with a different group. "My perfect performance is from the Maple siblings!" Jessie said.
Ash and John groaned again. Max and May had annihilated their opponents, finishing them off in just 5 total moves. Naturally, they didn't lose any Pokémon.
"Hey but don't forget this!" Meowth cut in. "They continually used overpowered moves like Hyper Beam to knock off their opponents! I want to see them actually face off against an opponent who is strong against special attack." Ash raised an eyebrow at this. Now that he thought about it, what they said made sense. Their opponents had been Hitmonlee, Staraptor, Serperior, and Miltank. Only Miltank had survived the first hyper beam, but it couldn't survive two of them. John was also deep in thought. "Agreed. They can't rely on powerful attacks forever. You need to have devised a strategy to deal with opponents who are stronger than you. If you can't or don't have one, how can you defeat the best trainers in the world?" James questioned.
Meowth interjected. "On the topic of strategies, lets talk about the team that had some incredible strategies that left us gaping." Jessie nodded. "Ahhh… I know who you mean." Ash and John leaned forward in their seats. "You must mean the cloaked combo known as Alpha and Omega, right?" James looked around and asked humorously. "Whom else would we be talking about?"
Ash and John then fistpumped before laughing cheerfully. They then listened in carefully. Meowth commented. "Dig this! Have you dudes ever seen THIS before?!" He said in a slightly exasperated tone.
He turned to the video board behind him and showed John's Alakazam curving Light Screen. James immediately said. "No! Not once! What kind of a Pokémon can possibly do that!" Jessie suddenly added. "And on top of that, what about the fact that it perfectly collided with their own Pokémon? Simply incredible!" Meowth nodded eagerly. "They may have not finished off their opponents with just one move, but these dopes really put on a show against Berlitz and Williams!
(AN: Idk If I ever gave Kenny a last name so I just made one up!)
James cast a grin. "As usual, I agree. Also, there's something else I want to talk about." He fast-forwarded through some scenes until they came to part where Empoleon and Lopunny were getting shocked by the ground. He walked up to the video board and pointed to the ground.
"Right here!" He said. "When electricity hits the ground, it doesn't get stored, it DISPERSES!" He whirled around to his fellow reporters. "How much training do you possibly think it would take to find a way to store electricity in the ground, and how would these two know how to do it?" Jessie looked surprised. "I hadn't thought of that!" Meowth looked at them. "These two dopes are gonna be something else to watch later in the tournament!"
"ANDDDD Now… The power rankings after round one of the battles!" James announced.
Ash and John examined the board and grinned. They were currently ranked at number 3 all time. A combo named TC, the Combo of Trevor and Conway, ranked ahead of them at number 2. When they saw number one, their blood began to boil. It was Serena and a boy named Calem. John looked over to Ash in worry, and it confirmed his thoughts. He looked very pissed.
John put his hand on Ash's shoulder. "Ash." He said.
Ash looked over with a burning fire in his eyes. John nodded slowly. "We'll get her. Just give it time." John saw his friend shaking slightly. John rarely saw his friend lose control of his aura, but he also knew he couldn't take chances. He slowly allowed his aura to soothe Ash's mind. It took a great deal of concentration, but it worked. Ash sighed and came back to reality.
"Sorry man. It's just…" He began softly before clenching his fist in anger. "She… KILLED so many people!" He was infuriated. However, he recovered from his rage with a soft sigh of relief.
"Okay man. It's time to get some sleep. Training is tomorrow, and at noon we get to see our matchup." Ash said. John nodded. "Got it."
Next Morning…
Ash awoke sleepily to the sound of ringing. He looked across the room and saw John out like a log, but with a peaceful look on his face. Ash rubbed his eyes as the ringing continued. He looked and saw the screen of his phone lighting up. He groggily picked it up and clicked the "talk" button, and said in a raspy voice. "Hello?"
"Hey Love!" Was the response. He immediately perked up. "Hey Cynthia!" Ash and Cynthia talked for about ten to fifteen minutes or so before Elesa talked to him for about the same amount of time. They were enthralled by their strategies and wanted to know more about them. Ash assured the girls that they would tell them everything they knew in time. It was then that Elesa said. "Jasmine wants to know if she can talk to John." Ash chuckled softly before saying. "He's still asleep."
Elesa told Jasmine and through the phone Ash could hear Jasmine saying. "Tell him to wake the fuck up and talk to his girls!" Ash sighed and tossed the phone at John, pelting him in the head. John immediately woke up and said. "Whuuzzup…Dafuq?" He was confused as could be. Ash said with a tinge of humor in his voice. "It's ya girl Johnny boy. Pick it up." John groggily searched for the phone that had banked off his head and landed somewhere nearby. He found it and began the conversation with Jasmine and Skyla.
Ash yawned and slid out of bed. He walked to the TV and flicked it on while he brushed his teeth. He watched as Jessie, James, and Meowth were talking about battle 1's "Losers" Ash was incredibly pleased when the first thing he heard them say after the intro was. "And spot number one goes to a certain Dawn Berlitz and Kenny Williams!" Meowth commented. "These twerps got outmatched in every aspect of da battle."
Jessie asked. "These aspects are…?" "Strength, Strategy, and Speed." He replied. James nodded. "Ah yes. The three S's. The one the stood out the most is quite obviously Strategy." Jessie agreed with him. "Easily. They (Alpha and Omega) took their time in defeating Berlitz and Williams. AO (Alpha and Omega) probably could've won the battle in just one move each if they wanted to."
Meowth said. "True! I mean look at their tactics! They looked like they were prepped in every aspect for da battle, and they really outclassed Dawn and Kenny!" James pointed out. "When did you see Berlitz and Williams call out any moves that weren't direct attacks?" There was a brief pause. "Exactly my point. On the other hand, their competition throughout this tournament WILL NOT follow the same path, and therefore probably eliminate Williams and Berlitz…" James said.
"That is…" Jessie continued.
"Unless those two can get their act together." Meowth finished.
Time Skip… 30 Minutes...
Alpha and Omega silently stood amongst the crowd of trainers who wanted to see who would become their opponents. The two didn't really care; nobody could stop them anyway. A gasp or two from the crowd rang out people were yelling and crying to see whom they got paired up against.
"HEY IDIOTS!" A too-familiar voice yelled. Ash groaned and turned to face Iris. "Guess we'll have the honor of crushing you in battle!" She said triumphantly. John chuckled. "Overconfident much?" Cilan, who was currently massaging her ass, said. "We'll show you that you're not even that strong!" Iris smirked and nodded. "Hell yeah! You're gonna get smoked!" Ash just smirked underneath the cloak and shook his head, laughing softly. "We'll see who's talking once we wipe the floor with you." Iris laughed. "HAH! You wish!" The two then walked away, leaving Alpha and Omega in thought.
Ash didn't even look at John before saying with a hint of playfulness in his voice. "Know who you're using?"
"Of course."
