This chapter will begin with a Flashback, such as last chapter did. Gary Oak will be seen quite a bit in this story, I left him out for awhile, but I've been leaving clues for particular people in this story throughout my typing even if it may seem a little bit subtle.

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.

Plz Review, and if you're new make sure to Follow and Favorite the story, Thanks!

This chapter will introduce someone or something that will prove to be critical throughout the entire rest of the story. I try to make a highlight or two for each chapter so ya'll can make some predictions in your mind because hey why not?

Anyhow I think that's bout it. Hope Ya Enjoy! Please Review!

ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes Chapter 25

LAST CHAPTER…

FLASHBACK

Oak weakly grinned. "I'll… always… be… with you…" He was cut off as a giant log fell on top of him, crushing him completely. His hand was the only thing that Gary could see, and Gary heard him whisper. "…I love… You…" Then his hand grew limp, and his grandfather was gone.

Gary sobbed softly and held his hand tightly. He looked in soft disbelief but then with determination. He would live on for him, it was his dying wish! He got up in a Flash and rumbled over to the main lab while covering his hands over his face to protect himself from burning debris. He slid down to open the safe.

He frantically entered the code muttering it back to himselfknowing that any second could be his last. He swung the door open when he heard a soft clicking noise to indicate he had broken the lock. He saw a stash of cash, a booklet, and a master ball. He stuffed the cash and booklet in his pocket, then gasped as he saw the pokeball begin to move and shake rapidly. Gary swung his head to the ceiling and saw the roof collapse. In one last move of desperation, he pressed the button on the pokeballin hopes that he would be saved by a miracle.

But it seemed the miracle would not happen, for all he saw was a blinding light and then all went dark for Gary and he went on to live his next life, wherever it may be.

PRESENT… STILL LAST CHAPTER…

He wondered why there was a public status and an actual status. After a moment more of searching, He saw what he was looking for; A List of Relatives. He clicked on the tab and saw two people pop up. He felt tears come to his eyes when he saw SkylaAdams appear. He held his head in his hands while Ash put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

John had Condemned Skyla's Father to Death.

JOHN STAMKOS (DEAD)

COD: Operation Doomsday

LOCATION OF DEATH: Underwater

PUBLIC STATUS: Dead

ACTUAL STATUS: Dead

John and Ash blinked at the Screen. John whispered quietly. "They… they think we're dead?" Ash typed in his name while standing next to John. A file came up.

ASHURA KETCHUM (DEAD)

COD: Operation Doomsday

LOCATION OF DEATH: Underwater

PUBLIC STATUS: Dead

ACTUAL STATUS: Dead

Ash and John were relieved. Team Rocket Intelligence apparently had nothing on them. However, there was something that caught Ash's eye. The Picture they had of him was when he was just 10 years of age. That made no sense. Why was his picture not up to date? It didn't make sense.

Ash shrugged and said. "Check on Most Accessed." John clicked on it. The first name to pop up surprised them.

It was Gary Oak.

GARY OAK

COD: Fire

LOCATION OF DEATH: Pallet Town Laboratory

PUBLIC STATUS: Dead

ACTUAL STATUS: Alive

NEW CHAPTER STARTS HERE… FLASHBACK…

Gary blinked. He couldn't see anything. He felt as though he had been through the infamous roller coaster called the Dragonair's Den four times over. What he could make out was the feeling of being on a bed. He recalled everything that had happened and cried softly. He pushed himself up and rubbed his eyes. Nothing could make out for him.

"What… the… fuck…" He moaned. To his complete surprise, someone said. "Language Master." Gary immediately hopped up out of his bed, only to get his legs caught on the covers and land face-first on the ground. He slowly began to see again. He glanced up and all he could make out was a purple figure. He rubbed his eyes consistently until he blinked once more.

"Hello. My Name is Mewtwo." It said. Gary immediately began to stare at the Legendary. Gary chuckled then began laughing. "This must be heaven. There's only one Mewtwo in the entire world, living somewhere in Kanto!" Mewtwo looked unfazed. "We are in Kanto, are we not?" Gary legitimately paled this time. "W-what do you want with me?"

Mewtwo was confused. "I am your Pokémon, I live to serve you."

Gary looked shocked and bewildered. Suddenly it dawned on him that Mewtwo was the pokemon in the pokeball that Professor Oak had told him to take. "But you're gramps Pokémon!" Mewtwo suddenly said. "Ah yes, that reminds me." In a flash they were being transported through space and time. Gary couldn't open his mouth or else he was sure he would barf.

Then, all of the sudden, pop!

There Gary was with sunglasses over his eyes, him and Mewtwostanding in a field. The sun was shining behind a cloud or two, a soft breeze flowing by. Gary looked down and blinked as he admired his attire. He was wearing a dark, black suit and tie. His usual spiky hair had turned black as well, a change from his usual chesnut brown. He whirled around in disbelief. He then saw a group of people in black staring over a fresh grave. People were crying softly. Gary whispered. "Mewtwo, what's going on? Who's grave is this?"

Mewtwo snapped his fingers calmly and all of the sudden, it appeared as though time itself had stopped, or rather, sped up. The weather had now turned dark. Rain was falling down in buckets. The wind had drastically picked up. Gary used his hands to cover his face. "M-Mewtwo!? What's happening!?"

Mewtwo replied. "Check the gravestone." Gary hesitated as the rain pounded his body. He realized he should just do it so he would have closure. He walked towards the grave with the rain attacked him. He couldn't see the name that was engraved because it was too dark, but then a flash of lightning crossed the sky in a flash. The name on the gravestone lit up.

Here Lies the Grave of

Gary Charles Oak

A Loving Person

Gary cried out and stumbled backwards. He collapsed and stared in disbelief at Mewtwo whose face was void of any emotion. Gary was fighting to find the right words, all he could sputter was,

"W-w-wha… W-what happened?" Mewtwo looked at him and said quietly. "The Laboratory was Destroyed. All the research the Professor ever had was gone. Pokémon died as well. In the end when the town finally managed to put out the fire, the found Professor Oak's body underneath all the rubble, but… you… well… they couldn't find yours, so they assumed your body had been disintegrated."

Gary was shocked. He couldn't believe the drastic turn of events. One day he was making out with Daisy Waterflower, the next his old life was sent to rubble. But another question was, why? Gary knew Gramps like the back of his hand, a Grease fire didn't add up. It just didn't. He faintly recalled something else. The fire had been burning the hardest in the Family Room.

The room was used to watch tournaments and spend time with family and Pokémon alike. But that wasn't what was odd about it. What was odd about it was that all fire's generally burn the hardest wherever they begin. For a Grease fire, the fire would Start in the Kitchen! So… the question remained; Why did the house catch on fire in the first place? Was it really a grease fire at all? He had so many questions! Mewtwo broke Gary's chain of thoughts by snapping his fingers, and all of the sudden…

POP!

They teleported back into the room they had started in. Gary was wearing a simple T-Shirt and Khaki Shorts. Mewtwo held a small cardboard box. He quietly said. "Just before you blacked out at the laboratory, I managed to grab this box. It contains your Grandfathers will, everything you must know." Gary blinked. "W-what do you mean?" Mewtwo paused briefly then continued. "Open it." Gary slowly took the box from the Pokémon and carefully opened it. He peeked his head inside. In the small box, were 3 small items. One was a belt of Pokémon, the next was a necklace, the final was a small piece of paper.

Gary held up the Golden Necklace. It was beautiful, a solid golden chain of brightness, a pokeball in the center, dangling from the chain. He then looked at the belt of Pokémon, and opened each one, growing more and more shocked with each one. Finally, he looked at the piece of paper.

Just before he was about to read, Mewtwo interrupted his thoughts. "One more thing…" Gary turned to the Psychic Pokémon. "The Professor was very clear about something, one, and only one person may ever hear what is written on this paper. The name is written at the bottom of the paper."

Gary stared at the Legendary and slowly nodded his agreement. He then flicked his eyes downward to begin reading. The more and more he read, the more and more his eyes widened in shock. He felt tears brimming in his eyes, and he stopped to wipe them. After he finished reading, he went back and reread it again, he couldn't believe what he was reading. Once he confirmed what he was reading was indeed the truth, he didn't even know what to feel. He felt as though a Machamp had used a Dynamic Punch on his skull three times over. His head was spinning. Finally, he regained focus.

"Mewtwo."

Mewtwo looked back at his trainer. "Yes Master?"

"We have quite a bit of work ahead of us."

PRESENT…Ash and John…

Ash couldn't believe it.

"Pika?" Ash turned to his faithful partner, who he had let out of his pokeball to keep watch. Ash was about to reply to his partner when all of the sudden a loud shrieking noise pierced the air. Ash whirled around and heard grunts yelling and screaming. Ash turned to John who shrugged and looked out of a window nearby.

To their surprise, there were multiple boats laced with black rubber racing towards the island. Ash counted six total. The grunts were calling out Pokémon, Ash heard Liepard, Bronzong, Herdier, and various others. Suddenly, Ash cheered and whooped.

John turned to his friend as though he had gone mad. "Are you alright?" Ash replied happily. "These must be Lance's G-Men! Who else could've possibly made an arrival at this time?"

John turned back to the boats and his eyes narrowed. He couldn't see whom was on the boat, but something felt, off…

"No…" Ash turned to his friend. "No…" John repeated slowly. "Their attack formation doesn't look like Lance's style. On top of it… why would he come in by boat and not Air?" Ash wasn't following at first but then he put 2 and 2 together. "I see your point. Dollars to Doughnuts says Lance is probably coming from Indigo Plateau, which is a long flight from here. No way he got here that fast, and that's assuming Cynthia realized what happened." Ash said.

John continued. "So if that's not Lance…Who is it?" As if on cue, smokescreens covered the entire island. It Completelyneutralized their fields of view. To further complicate things, a female came on the loudspeaker. "Attention all Team Rocket Personel, we are now going into a Code Red, I repeat, this is a Code Red. This is Not a Drill. We are now on Full-Lockdown. Secure the Intelligence Room at all costs and Protect this Facility at all costs! We are being invaded by theeeeeeee…L…. Preeeepwwwwwwaaaaarrrrreeeee…"

Her voice began to scramble itself before it completely cut off. Footsteps were rapidly approaching and Ash immediately began searching for a way out. John yanked his Flashdrive out of the computer and stuffed it in his pocket urgently.

"We gotta get out!" John said quicky. Ash looked up to the heavens as if begging for the answer. To his surprise, he got one. "Quick! The Air Vents!" John's eyes flashed with hope. Ash leapt up and yanked the Air Vent Cover down.

Footsteps could now be heard sprinting up the stairs just outside the Intelligence room. John leapt up first and Ash swung up second. He quietly placed the cover back the exact moment the door burst open.

Grunts flooded into the room. They saw all the bloody grunts and ran around, searching for the culprits, naturally, only to come up empty handed. "Oh My God! They've already been here! Those Bastards! That first ship had more of them on it! No wonder we never found it!" A grunt said, totally exasperated. "Alert the Commander." A grunt sergeant said with authority.

Ash and John, however, didn't hear. They had already crawled away, down the Airvent, in search of the group that was assaulting the island.

Meanwhile…

Mr. Goodshow was rubbing his temples. So many events were happening that he was getting severely irritated. First, Team Rocket Strikes with thievery, so the Cerulean City police insistson postponing the tournament two days back to investigate the robbery. Next, Alpha and Omega vanish without a trace, and to cap it off, the CHAMPION Lance calls him to inform him that he has located a massive Team Rocket HQ right off the coast of the tournament, and he and his G-Men were just a mere hour out from it and planning to launch a titanic invasion?

He sighed. Things were so complicated nowadays that it annoyed him to no end. "Fine Lance, please end this. The townspeople are raring for more tournament action and this Team Rocket has truly been a thorn in my side. Hopefully you destroy the factory."

Lance replied on the phone. "Will do, you can count on me." He then hung up and nodded to his G-Men, who were riding in the Helicopter alongside him. It was time to put a dent in Team Rocket.

Ash and John…

They crawled throughout the vents listening and watching grunts yell commands to their Pokémon. Some grunts were sent flying throughout the room, but neither of them could ever receive a visual on the invaders. Who were they? What did they want? Why were they here?

As they contemplated their thoughts Ash suddenly whispered. "Hey! Look!" John immediately shushed him, for the sound carried all the way down the vent. John covered Ash's mouth in a panic. John took his hand off after a brief moment. Ash began making hand signals instead. He pointed down the vent where a bright light was slightly illuminating the area following a brief left turn.

John nodded and they advanced down the vent. More grunts sprinted by. An explosion was heard in the distance. They made the turn and saw the end of the vent. John army-crawled down the vent but just before he was about to open it, Ash put a hand on his leg, indicating him to stop. Ash had seen three figures walking down the hall at the same pace as them and going to the same location as them from small crack in the air vent. The three had opened the door and walked inside.

AN: Imagine That the Vents are no longer Facing Down, this Vent is directly in front of them, facing sideways, so that they can both see what is going on inside the room.

Ash watched as one of them pulled out a circular device and pressed it. It suddenly lit up, and a figure morphed from it. The figure was cloaked, and it appeared to be male. However, when the figure spoke, all thoughts of the figure being male vanished. "Your Highness." Ash and John's eyes widened. They were the three figures from the boat! The shorter male spoke calmly, "They are here for us Your Highness."

The Woman spoke just as calmly. "No, I doubt they are here for you, and please, stop calling me that. I don't prefer it." She spoke cheerfully. The figure of her was encased in a bright blue, masking her facial features. It was impossible to tell who it was. The three looked at each other and grinned softly. "What's the plan?"

The woman in the cloak spoke. "You must flee. Word of this invasion will be public soon, you must take what we can and relocate." The taller male spoke clearly. "What of the rest that we cannot carry?"

"Destroy it. Set the island to detonate, all information on this Headquarters must be eliminated." She spoke.

"Generals!" A grunt ran into the room. "We were protecting the intelligence room as you instructed when we decided to run a scan of the mainframe to see if any information had been accessed." The woman said. "And?"

The Grunt Continued. "Yes, Someone had defeated a squadron of grunts that are always stationed on patrol in that room." The two men looked at each other. "Is it possible that abandoned Operation Boat was carrying members of the invasion party before the rest arrived?" The Grunt shrugged but said. "I'm not quite sure. However, the scan of the Team Rocket Southpaw Information Database Mainframe indicated someone had logged on using the Access code specialized to Southpaw only."

The Woman in the hologram spoke. "What was taken?" The grunt hesitated slowly before answering. "…Everything. They have Access to all our intel, at least, Most of It. But there's something else." He paused and was about to continue when an explosion rang throughout the room. Ash and John shook violently inside the Airvent. The Tall Man Regained his balance and ordered. "Go set up the explosives! Now!" The Grunt Saluted before sprinting off. The three looked at one another before turning back to the blue hologram. "Your Highness, We will not fail."

She smiled a little evilly underneath her hood. "Of this… I have no doubt." The transmission was then cut off. The three ran out of the room, and then Ash punched the Vent Open, and they both fell out. They got up and brushed themselves off. Ash quickly said. "We gotta find a way off this island before we're blown to shit."

"I agree with you there." John sighed, but as if on cue, a figure rushed into the room. Ash, on instinct, whirled around and with his arm outstretched, prepared to knock into the individual. To his utter shock, the figure blocked the move perfectly.

Ash took this time to study the figure despite his surprise. The figure was wearing all black, with a flowing black cape behind him. The figure had a hood draping over his head that made it impossible to tell whom it was. As a matter of fact, this man looked like the group of three from before, they could see a black piece of clothing covering it so that the only things that would be visible would be his nose and eyes. Stopping his visual inspection, Ash punched low and then the man and him began a fist-fight. Three more men rushed into the room and began attacked the two. Ash and John were pinned down. These men actually knew how to fight!

But just then, when Ash and John were backed as far as they could go into a corner, someone yelled. "Halt!" The four immediately stalled their attack. They looked and saw another cloaked man in the entrance to the doorway. He wore the same attire as the others, the only difference was that he wore a Silver chain around his Neck. It had a very unique design.

The man spoke. "These men are not affiliated with Team Rocket. Continue your search." The Men banged their chests with their right arms once and ran off, their specialty salute. The man sighed and turned to them. "My deepest apologies." Ash waved it off. "No problem. But who exactly are you?"

The Man was about to respond when suddenly, there was a flash of light. The three were transported to the top of Southpaw, overlooking a gigantic fortress of Team Rocket Production Buildings. Explosions were seen from multiple ones, indications of Pokémon battles occurring.

"W…W-what happened?" John murmered.

"Teleportation, A Specialty of Mine, Mr. Stamkos." A voice said. John whirled around and gawked. Standing right there not even 20 feet from him, was Mewtwo. He blinked at the Legendary. "A-Alpha? You might wanna see this…" John said shakily. A feeble voice replied. "N-no… YOU want to see THIS…"

John turned around and followed Ash's glance, and what he saw truly shocked him. There was a man standing there with his one foot high up on a ledge about a foot above his other. He was overlooking the facility. He looked like the other men, with the exception of the Golden Chain with the same unique design on it that was dangling around his neck, but, perhaps the one difference that set this man apart from the others, was that his hood was not pulled up, and allowed his spiky brown hair to flow freely.

"Thanks Mewtwo. Now as for you two I'm guessing you've got lots of questions, starting with, who are you, what are you doing here, why did I ask Mewtwo to teleport you, etc. Well…" The Man paused carefully and began again. "As for why I'm here, it's to neutralize all Team Rocket Bases and HQ's, as for why I Asked Mewtwo to teleport you, it's so I could talk to you in private, and for who I am and who I work for… hah… well…"

The figure turned around slowly. John stared while tears formed in Ash's eyes. His bright brown eyes brought memories back to Ash, and his face looked virtually the same. The figure spoke calmly and full of determination. "My Name is Gary Oak, and I am the Leader of The LOS, The Legion of Stealth, the Organization that Will Cause the Downfall of Team Rocket, Once, and For All."

AN: Enter the LOS, the Organization who invaded Southpaw, and Gary is their Leader. Who else joined the LOS, and who exactly are they? In the Will, who is the person Gary may show the Will to, and WHY? So many questions… Answers should be here soon, Southpaw will Finish next chapter and then is round 2 of the tournament.
