ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes Chapter 22

Last Chapter

"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."

Present...

"Ugh Cynthia…" Ash groaned into the phone. John and him were quietly enjoying a cup of coffee at the local place in Cerulean City. Everything was peaceful with the exception of a certain blonde girl badgering him through the phone about the tournament. "Cynthia…" He cut her off. "I mean what Pokémon are you going to be using…"

"Cynthia…" He sighed again. "We're coming down tomorrow to see it, can you…"

"Cynthia!..." He said a bit louder. "Can we have a little fun when I get there…" She continued a rant. "CYNTHIA!" He cried. Cynthia finally stopped talking. "I can-" He began to speak when all of the sudden, John yelled. "HEY! BREAK IT UP!" Ash gasped as he saw John run towards the incident. "Sorry Cyn. Gotta go."

"Wait-" He cut off the call as he rushed off to see multiple fights breaking out on a nearby battlefield. A few girls were punching and kicking one another. He immediately stepped in separating the two groups of girls but had little avail. Ash desperately weaved his way between the people before getting an idea. "Charizard!" He cried throwing it in the air. It appeared with a bright flash and a roar. All the girls gasped and scattered slightly from the dragon. It landed and John yelled. "What's going on here?"

A young girl with soft brown hair angrily said. "Those assholes have my Elektross! It was missing from my bag ten minutes ago!" John looked annoyed. "What proof is there?" The girl replied with annoyance. "They hate me because I always crush them in battle! I never just leave Pokémon around so someone nearby has my Pokémon!" Ash called out. "Alright everyone, we need you all to stay nearby so we can check to make sure you're…" He started but paused when he saw a girl with light purple hair slowly walking the opposite direction. She had her hands in her pockets. She wore a black jacket and simple skirt. Ash's eyes narrowed.

Something wasn't right with this female. He couldn't place his finger on it, maybe it was aura or just a gut instinct. He chose to do something about it.

"Hey, You!" He cried. The girl looked back, and Ash gasped. The girl's eyes widened and she broke out into a run towards the water. He immediately rushed after her, but she was a good quarter mile ahead of him. John saw this as well and took off after his friend. Ash was gaining ground but looked shocked as she was running towards a very big boat with a surprisingly great speed. She leapt onto it as the boat was gaining speed and gave a happy grin when she saw how far behind the two males in capes were. Then, her look of happiness turned to one of shock when the man flew onto the ship.

Ash grinned as her aura pushed him onto the ship. The girl had a panicked look as she sprinted around a corner. Ash ran around it, and then his world went dark. John slowed down when the ship was fading into the distance. He took a deep breath. He had neither flying nor water types with him. He thought carefully. He then panicked when he totally lost all connection with Ash via aura. He ran through his options in a flash. He came up with only one, incredulous, stupid, mentally unstable, mind-blowing option. He took a deep breath.

'I am so going to die from this…' His last thought was.

Meanwhile...

"Mmm… wha… where am I…" He muttered. Ash slowly woke up and looked around. He blinked in shock when he felt the ground moving. He looked up and saw the ocean cut off from him by a short but electrified fence. He looked to his side and saw four grunts with the letter R strapped to their chests. He groaned softly.

He was on a Team Rocket Aqua Boat. They were very rare, only about five in Kanto to his knowledge. They were loaded with enemies at all times and their Pokémon. He contemplated his situation. In his condition, there was no way to fight off four armed guards. He felt gassed for some unknown reason. He heard footsteps and turned weakly to his right, only to receive a kick to his ribs. He groaned softly and collapsed. He saw the purple haired girl looking at him while smirking. "Well well… the infamous Alpha from the Shadows of Legends Tournament…"

Ash spat in her face when she leaned in too close. She gasped and wiped it off in disbelief. She turned to him once more and whispered. "My guards here will kill you right here, and right now Mr. Alpha…" She paused and then said quietly. "Or Maybe… A slow and painful death suits you better.."

A voice said. "Hey!" She whirled around and gasped as a knife impaled her heart. The guards gasped in shock as they saw a man in a white cloak standing on the railing to the ship holding another throwing knife. "Am I too late to join the party?" He said playfully. The guards rushed him in a flash. John hopped down and evaded the first punch that was sent to his head by ducking. He quickly plunged the knife into the man's heart and threw him off the boat, the knife still in his hand. The second kicked his leg. John sent an aura infused punch into the female grunt's face, knocking her to the turf. The two remaining male grunts fought him side by side in a shock baton flurry. One had black hair and a black beard while the other had red hair. John was backed up to the dead female officer who had run away from John and Ash earlier. He knew he was losing ground and the two fighting him were grinning happily at their progress.

However, on the ground, Ash saw something the two grunts didn't. When he saw it, Ash knew exactly what John was up to.

John wanted to lose ground. And his thought was confirmed when all of the sudden, John dodged both batons and did a quick back flip, catching the guards completely off balance and dazed by his agility. The black haired male was even more shocked when he landed it perfectly and threw his weapon directly in his eye. He stumbled backwards and collapsed. The red haired man blinked in shock and was distracted as John yanked the knife out of the officer's body and threw it at the other grunt, catching him in the stomach.

He cried in pain. John saw him reach for a walkie-talkie that was equipped on his belt. The grunt could only gasp in terror as John sped towards him in an aura infused check. He stumbled back and flipped over the railing, screaming in terror as he plunged to the waters below. John immediately grabbed the throwing knife from the black haired man and was preparing to take aim at the man in the water when Ash said in a raspy voice.

"Behind you." John immediately spun around and slashed another female grunt that charged him with a knife of her own. She cried in pain as he ripped through her black shirt and sliced the R symbol in half. Still slightly blinded by her pain, she was unaware of her own momentum, and she toppled over the railing as well, but not before John snagged the knife away from her.

John looked towards the water and saw two grunts struggling to swim all the way back with fatal wounds and grinned. "Hey… A little help?" Ash asked weakly. John turned to his downed friend and laughed. "Sure hold on a second." Ash waited patiently for a moment and sighed in relief when he felt someone helping up to his feet.

Ash groaned, his aura still feeling sapped. Then, as if by magic, it felt full again. John looked relieved. "Thank god, what happened?" Ash questioned. John shrugged. "I would guess that officer girl got you with a shock baton to the heart. For any normal person I think that would've knocked em out for a couple hours but you were only out for ten minutes or so." Ash questioned. "Hey how did you even get here? No way in hell you could've made a jump…"

John laughed as he relayed the story.

Flashback... About 10-15 Minutes Prior

"Okay… Okay Okay Okay Okay…" John Muttered as he broke out into a sprint. He got closer and closer to the water until finally, he tapped into his aura speed. He closed his eyes as he prepared for the water to overtake him. He kept his feet churning as fast as he could. He paused for a few moments as he kept his feet moving. He opened his eyes and blinked. Why had he not drowned?

He started down and gawked. He was running on water! John broke out into a grin. "Hell Yeah." He sprinted towards with a speed much greater than the boat was going. In his wake a trail of blue was imprinted into the water, waves coming off his trail in massive amounts. He got closer and closer until he saw grunts firing some sort of specialized bullets at him. They were all on top of the boat, gaining a massive aerial advantage on him. He frowned as they were forcing him to stay away from the boat.

He ran through his options once more before smirking. He powered up an aura sphere before hurling it at the bottom of the ship. The boat rocked up with no alert, and the men went flying off the boat and plummeted down to their deaths.

John used a small aura jump to hurtle the boat's railing, while being fortunate that there was no electric fence in that section of the boat, and settled down in a corner of the ship for a moment to take in his surroundings before calmly calling out his Mew. He told her carefully what the plan was and what had to be done. She happily accepted orders and flew off to carry them out. John reached into his pockets to pull out two throwing knifes and ran off to find his friend.

End Flashback

"And then I found you." He finished with a small shrug of his shoulders. Ash asked curiously. "What did you send off Mew to do?" Just then, a banging noise was heard a floor above them. John turned to him. "Lets go see."

But just before they went, Ash poked his head off the edge of the railing and saw a heap of grunts with knife wounds, and two had knives embedded in their skulls. Ash showed no sympathy and ran off after John. They ran up a floor of stairs with no problem and ran to the very top floor, which was assumed to be the captain's chamber. They burst the door open and looked more than mildly surprised to see Mew banging a guard's head against a wooden table. Nearby, a pile of wounded guards lay.

"Mew, good job. Return now." Ash burst open one final door and saw two grunts fearfully holding up their hands in surrender. Ash grabbed a weapon and prepared to strike them down and as the two closed their eyes, John said. "Hold it."

Ash paused. The two grunts opened their eyes. John motioned for Ash to come out of the control quarters. Ash did so and gasped. In the corner were piles of pokeballs. He whirled back to the guards who had terrified looks on their faces and they started to sputter.

One was male, the other was not. The female sputtered. "I-I-I…" Ash slammed his fist down. "What the fuck is going on here?" When neither answered, he roared. "Answer me god damn it!" The female whimpered. "We're innocent…" To the grunts' surprise, Ash grabbed the knife he had been preparing to charge them with and plunged it in the grunts heart. She wheezed softly and gasped for mercy. Ash hurled her out the glass window nearby and landed on the deck below, very dead.

Ash pointed out the window while staring at the male. "Wanna end up like her?" the male quickly shook his head. "What is this operation boat used for?" He didn't hesitate. "Our leader c-calls this operation the flow of battle." John questioned, not at all shocked by Ash's cruelty. "Flow of Battle?"

The grunt nodded fearfully. "Where is this boat heading?" John asked.

The grunt slowly pointed out the window. The moment they looked, the grunt ran out of the room, only to be tripped by John, who had sensed it about to happen. Before the guard could come closer to recovering, John snagged a ballpoint pen that was sitting so easily on the counter nearby and jammed it through the man's left eye socket. He shook just for a moment before completely collapsing.

John sighed. He didn't like killing, but sometimes it was necessary. Like say, for instance, when going against Team Rocket. Such Scumbags didn't deserve to live. "Yo… might wanna look at this…" John poked his head out of the window and gawked. It was an island filled with construction. Just the sight of seeing all the guards there made their blood boil.

They passed by a sign on their way in. John read it quietly.

"Welcome to SouthPaw, Pokémon distribution HQ of Team Rocket."
