ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes Chapter 46

Previously…

Violet looked around for a moment before she said quietly over the music in the backyard. "Follow me inside." The two walked behind the bluenette and followed her inside to a private living room. She quickly looked once or twice outside the room to make sure nobody was watching them. She then closed the door and said in a completely terrified voice.

"It's my sister Daisy!" Ash's eyes widened a little and looked to Gary who had an equally horrified look. "Wha-what do you mean? What's wrong with your sister?" Gary asked fearfully. She sighed and sat down and began telling her story. "Like, do you guys know who Gary Oak is?"

Ash could practically hear Gary's heart break into pieces. "I have heard rumors of him being alive, wasn't he presumed dead in a fire in Pallet town some time ago?" Ash replied, putting on his best act. "Yes, but what most people don't know is that my sister was dating Gary when he died." Ash gasped to go along with the act he was currently performing. Gary held his head down as the emotions ran through him.

"She was devastated when he died. She cried for, like, I don't know how long. She couldn't even stand to come out of her room sometimes for hours on end."

XXXXXXXXXX

Ash was about to say something else when all of the sudden the door opened and none other than a certain orange-haired girl walked in laughing and chatting flirtatiously with two males. Without even looking who was in the room, she began shedding clothes and Violet practically screeched.

"MISTY!" Misty jumped into the air and saw her sister with two very attractive males. Misty put on a sultry smile. "Hey Sis! You having fun in this room too? You have good taste!" She winked to the two males already with her. Violet's face was getting redder and redder, but not for the reasons Misty was thinking. "Misty, please leave, we are in the middle of something." The moment she completed her sentence, she immediately wished she had chosen her words better.

"Ohhh I'm sorry Violet! Seeing as you weren't unclothed I figured you hadn't started yet, then again, you always did like it clothed." Ash blushed a little while Gary's eyes widened in shock and embarrassment. Violet's face was so red now she could've passed as a tomato. She shrieked "MISTY! WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DAISY AND NOT ABOUT HAVING SEX!" Misty's eyes slightly narrowed. "It's her choice to not come out of the shell she's in, it's your party, you should enjoy yourself rather than worry about her. She'll come around."

Ash could practically feel Gary's anger rising to dangerous levels as Misty continued her rant. "I mean seriously Violet I don't know why you and lil's worry about her so much, if Oak loved her so much and he was alive this whole time why is she crying over him because clearly he isn't into her anymore or just chose to not seek her out." Ash was now getting more and more agitated listening to this girl; she was nothing like her sisters.

"YOU ARE SUCH AN ABSOLUTE BITCH!" Ash immediately whirled and saw his friend had finally lost his patience. Gary hotly snarled. "How can you possibly say that about your sister!? She had someone close to her and you're just saying it doesn't even matter in the first place! You're possibly the most selfish bitch I've ever met in my life! What matters most is that you back her up no matter what as long as she is in a good conscious, and clearly, this boy made her feel alive, so shut the fuck up and stop being an asshole!"

XXXXXXXXXX

Gary looked at Ash who nodded and then snapped his fingers and instantly, the Aura illusion vanished and Gary's spiky brown hair and face came into view. Ash's aura illusion was still intact, thankfully. Violet immediately noticed the change and once her brain registered that she had been talking to the Gary Oak the entire time, she made a noise that sounded a lot like "eep!" and then covered her mouth with her hands in complete shock and surprise. Gary had a sheepish smile on his face.

"You're… You're here… like, am I seeing things?" Violet said in a voice barely above a whisper. Gary chuckled a little. "No Violet, it's me. My friend here has been creating an illusion for me so I've been able to stay out of sight as of recently."

XXXXXXXXXX

"I-I-I'm so sorry Ian… I… I thought you were cute and I was interested in you… b-but now that these rumors of my last ex have come back…" Gary's eyes widened; he had been the LAST guy she had dated!?

"I… I… Oh I-Ian like I'm so sorry for putting you through this!" She then turned and buried her face into his chest, openly weeping. Gary had no idea that he meant this much to her. On one hand, he was ecstatic, and on the other, guilt. He gently lifted Daisy's chin up so she could stare at him. For Daisy, she had to wipe her eyes and little and then was staring at the face of what she expected to be Ian. But, after just a second or so, she knew it was not him.

Yet, she did not scream. She did not panic. She did not back away. She just… sat there. Sat there in a mixture of awe and bewilderment as she attempted to figure out whom exactly she had opened up to. The streams of moonlight snuck through her window and created a pattern on the face of the man and she carefully began to piece together the puzzle. She stared and saw his piercing eyes, spiky brown hair, athletically toned body, and a ruggedly-handsome face.

It took her just a moment more to let out an emotional gasp and put her hands on her mouth, tears spilling down her cheeks. Gary, in one fluid motion, captured his lips with hers. Daisy made no movement in his arms for a short moment or two before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing back just as heavily. She thrust her tongue into his mouth, desperately pleading for entrance. Gary happily allowed her access as the two fell down onto the bed, reunited once more, never to be separated again.

Little did the couple know, Violet had been watching them the entire time. She smiled as she saw the two in the dim moonlight of her bed, and to be sure to were not disturbed, she quietly grabbed the handle, and with a silent *Click*, the couple was given their privacy so desperately desired.

Present…

Gary and Daisy had gotten together officially the next morning. Unfortunately, it also became common knowledge that Gary was indeed alive and was now dating Daisy once again. However, neither of them had any complaints whatsoever; they were just happy to be back together. And for that, everyone was happy for the young couple. The following days were filled with just two things for Ash and John. Training and Sex.

And there was a ton of both for them. By day, all they did was grind out hour after hour of preparing for the upcoming battle. After Ash had returned from the party days prior, Mr. Goodshow had announced the battles of the tournament. When they got their opponents, their grins spread so wide that the sides of the grins nearly touched their ears. They already had a great idea of whom they were going to use in battle, all in all, it was going to be a rather entertaining battle. Of this much, they were certain.

It just depended on whom they decided to use in battle. Ash gathered his two Pokémon and John gathered his. They walked to the stadium in sync, knowing very well how much was on the line in each and every one of these battles.

XXXXXXXXX

"Contestants, welcome to the quarterfinals!" The referee announced loudly. The crowd roared in response, cheering wildly and jumping around. The referee continued. "This battle is between team Misty and Brock…" their side of the field jumped up and cheered. Misty and Brock were waving to the crowd, both of them blowing kisses to the crowd. "… and the team of Alpha and Omega." The crowd looked towards the mystic duo, who stood there and waved politely. There was a loud cheer for them as well.

"This is a two on two battle, with each trainer on each side being allowed two Pokémon each. The battle will be over when all four total Pokémon from one side have been defeated! Furthermore, no substitutions will be allowed until a Pokémon from one side has been defeated, then, a trainer from either side may be allowed to swap. Are both sides ready?" He gestured towards Misty and Brock who said.

"Ready!"

"I guess I'm ready."

The referee nodded and called. "Are you both ready?" He pointed towards Ash and John. They looked at one another before roaring simultaneously. "READY!"

The referee cried. "BATTLE BEGIN!"

Misty yelled. "Togekiss, let's go!"

Brock grinned and called. "Crobat, come out!"

The normal-flying type and poison-flying type Pokémon took the field across from the cloaked duo. Up in the stands, their four females along with Keeghan, Daniel (Who was currently under a personal aura illusion from Ash), Gary, and the newest member of the group, Daisy. Gary had invited her to join their little group, and she was happy to accept.

Ash gripped his pokeball and called. "Lucario, lend me your aura!"

John followed suit. "Feraligator, come out now!"

The nearly-human like Pokémon blessed with the aura ability and the large, blue crocodile took the field at practically the exact same time. They both let out simultaneous roars and then, all of the sudden, they both staggered backwards at the same time. Unbeknownst to the audience, both Ash and John sensed their Pokémon's aura become off pitched, something that never happened. John telepathically sent to Ash, 'You sensed what I sensed, correct?'

Ash replied. 'I have never… ever felt something like that before.'

They looked at their Pokémon, who were actually staring at one another in surprise. They clearly hadn't been expecting it either, that much was quite obvious. Well, obvious to the two cloaked warriors, not their opponents.

"Togekiss, start with Tailwind!" Togekiss began flapping it's wings so that there was a head breeze against Feraligator and Lucario. Brock called out. "Crobat, fly in and hit Lucario with your poison fang attack!"

Ash immediately reacted. "Lucario, let it hit you, then, use calm mind to search your memories for the moves you wish to use!" Lucario nodded and allowed Crobat to sink it's fangs into its shoulder as the move was totally rendered useless by the fact that Lucario was part steel. Brock moaned in disbelief as he recognized his clumsiness. Lucario relaxed it's mind so that it only had pure thoughts, and focused on what moves it wanted to try and remember for the fight.

'I have selected two of my moves to switch… master.' Lucario telepathically sent. Ash was rather surprised at the hesitation of Lucario's use of master. He, usually, was never hesitate to call Ash master instead of Ash, whether it was to annoy Ash or not. Ash muttered something under his breath as John called.

"Feraligator, use Ice Beam all over the ground, if they wanna increase their speed in the air, we'll increase ours on the ground!" Feraligator nodded slightly and then began freezing the entire battlefield until there was only ice on the ground. Misty was unfazed. "Togekiss, Aura sphere on Feraligator!" Togekiss charged up the blue ball of energy and fired it at the crocodile. John smirked. "Skate away!"

The crowd gasped in surprise when Feraligator easily avoided the Aura Sphere by swinging it's arms and sliding across the ice. Ash ordered. "Lucario, aura sphere on Togekiss!" Lucario fired its own Aura Sphere at Togekiss, and Misty yelled in response. "Fly with the Tailwind to avoid in, then in midflight, use Wing Attack!" Togekiss flew with the wind, increasing its speed rapidly and then smashing into Lucario, dealing the first blow of the match. Lucario got knocked backwards and slid across the ice on it's back. Misty, however, had no time to cheer, because John got an opportunity to strike.

"While Skating, nail Togekiss with Dragon Pulse!" Togekiss, now having to fly against the tailwind to relocate back in front of Misty, could only watch as a purple blast smothered it. It smashed into the ground and slid across the ice. John was about to retake the offensive once again when Brock yelled. "Crobat, Aerial Ace on Feraligator!" Crobat sped towards Feraligator, who was not going to have a ton of time to react. John made up a plan on the fly.

"Feraligator, drift on the ice and spin while using Aqua Tail! Create a forcefield!" Feraligator obeyed, and was incased in a small circle made of water. Crobat rammed into the forcefield, and was staggered back, hovering in the air for a small moment. Ash saw his chance. "Quick Lucario, kick off the wall and use Thunderpunch on Crobat before it refocuses!"

Misty was ready. "Not so fast! Togekiss use-" She was cut off when Ash cried triumphantly. "Use Me first!" Misty's jaw dropped when all of the sudden, Lucario was directly in front of Togekiss, midair and a fist of lightning already pulsing. Togekiss was crushed in the skull with the super effective move, and got knocked to the ice. Ash continued his furious onslaught. "Quickly steady yourself by using Bone Rush on ice and then hit Crobat with an aura sphere!"

Lucario did a front-flip as it landed, and used it's bone rush attack as a pillar to quickly steady itself on. Then, quickly ripped out an aura sphere that roared towards Crobat. Unfortunately for Ash, by this time, Crobat had refocused itself. Brock ordered. "Evade!" Crobat sailed backwards, and although it was against the wind, it easily avoided the ball of energy.

John used this moment to his advantage. "Dragon Dance." As Feraligator increased it's attack power and speed, Lucario repositioned itself in front of Ash, and Crobat realigned itself in front of Brock. Togekiss got up slowly and hovered right in front of Misty, and Feraligator skated to a stop swiftly in front of John. For a moment, nobody called out any moves, all waiting to see what the other side had in store for them. The silence that filled the battle stadium was eerie and long, all the audience waiting with bated breath.

"… Togekiss use Wing attack!" Togekiss soared towards it's opponent and John said. "Counter that with Aura Tail!" Feraligator roared before its tail became infused with water and swung at the exact moment Togekiss collided with it. They struggled for control before they cancelled each other out. Brock commanded. "Crobat, Air Slash on Lucario!"

Crobat sped rapidly towards Lucario before Ash called out. "Lucario, use Bone Rush to catapult over it, then while in midair, hit it with Aura sphere!" Lucario managed to find its footing before it leapt up, generated bone rush, then flung itself over the attack as Crobat whizzed by. It looked up complete surprise as it sensed an attack about to hit it. Because of the speed it was going, it was unable to avoid the move. However, because it was a flying type, it didn't do all too much damage.

The Watch Party…

Elesa was a little perplexed. "I don't really understand why they're toying with them, couldn't they have finished them off by now?" Gary responded with his arm around Daisy's shoulders. "I know what they're doing." Everyone looked to him. "If I was guessing, I'd say they're testing the waters, so to speak."

Keeghan scratched his head. "Testing the waters?" Gary nodded. "Correct. They have likely not battled these two in quite some time, so, my prediction is that they are testing Togekiss' and Crobat's power and then using it to lure them into some sort of trap."

Skyla spoke worriedly. "Lucario only can use Thunderpunch to deal any kind of damage; it's other two moves don't do anything against them." Cynthia nodded. "You're right. If Misty and Brock don't recognize that and choose not to avoid Feraligator, things will almost certainly end shortly for them."

Battle…

'Ash, I got a plan to knock out one of them. Be ready to knock out the other.' John telepathically spoke. As Ash replied that he understand, John yelled. "Feraligator, fire Ice beam into the air once you get directly under Togekiss!" Feraligator skated with increased speed thanks to the Dragon dance, and was able to get under Togekiss swiftly before firing Ice Beam up into the air. Misty wouldn't have it. "Evade!" Togekiss did a midair barrel roll and narrowly avoided the super effective move.

But unfortunately, that had only been a distraction for John's true plan and move. "Now Feraligator! Jump up and use Aqua Tail!" Feraligator leapt up, tail once more infused with Water. John cried triumphantly. "NOW!" Misty's eyes widened and shot up to the sky where Feraligator had leapt up. She saw the ice beam that Feraligator had fired moments earlier flying back. Feraligator did a midair flip, Aqua tail flying head over heels. The entire crowd gasped in shock when the Ice beam collided with the aqua tail, freezing it instantly.

Both Misty and Togekiss was frozen in shock and surprise. Feraligator roared as it swung its tail down on Togekiss' head, and like a laser, it was sent flying to the ground in a blur. The combination of Ice Beam and Aqua tail shocked the entire crowd, then were also in a deep silence. Brock recovered from his stupor first, not even waiting to see if Togekiss was knocked out. "Crobat, use…" He was cut off when Ash sprung the trap.

"Me first into Thunderpunch!" Brock mentally cursed as he forgot all about Alpha. In a flash, Lucario was in front of Crobat, fist already glowing yellow and crackling with electricity. Lucario had a smirk written all over it's face, and Crobat's eyes widened in terror as Lucario wound up its arm and sent one, beautiful punch to the face of the bat. It flew straight into the wall behind Brock, and he whirled around to see the condition of his Pokémon.

After one moment, the referee cried. "Togekiss and Crobat are unable to continue, the winners are Lucario and Feraligator!" The crowd roared in cheers and both Ash and John returned their Pokémon at the same time. Misty growled as she returned Togekiss and Brock scowled as he returned Crobat.

Misty was rather infuriated. "Starmie, crush them!"

Brock yelled. "Onyx, let's go!"

The water type and the giant rock snake took the battlefield across from Ash and John, and both of them already had their hands on which Pokémon they would now be using.

Ash smirked. "Infernape, guide me!"

John called. "Delveon, your time is now!"

The fire and sun type Pokémon cried out when they struck the battlefield. Then, Delveon immediately began nuzzling her trainer happily. This got a loud, "Awwwwwwww…", from the crowd, a chuckle from Ash, and a look of pure amusement from the referee. John bent his knees to get on eye level with Delveon, who was looking eagerly at him.

"We need to win this battle Delveon, think you can help us out?" He said, the bottom sides of his lips curling up with a smile. She immediately nodded. "Del Del Veeeee!" She cried out. She then walked right back next to Infernape with a bright smile on her face. Infernape nodded at her and she nodded once back before they both took up battle stances across from their opponents. The referee raised the flag and yelled. "BATTLE COMMENCE!"

"Onyx, Rock slide!"

Ash turned to John. "Ready for operation one shot?"

John gave him a cheeky smirk from underneath his hood. "As always."

Misty ordered. "Starmie, use swift!" Onyx glowed white briefly before roaring and unleashed a gigantic volley of boulders towards its opponents. Starmie began spinning rapidly and unloading a hailstorm of stars as well. Ash smiled, this was playing right into their hands.

"Infernape, stay behind Delveon at all costs, use work up!" Infernape hopped behind it's partner and immediately began using Work up to improve it's Attack and Special attack. John ordered. "Delveon, protect Infernape no matter what! Use Psychic and Aegis Defense to deflect each and any attack that comes your way!" Delveon nodded before it's eyes turned blue and it's feelers turned golden.

Misty and Brock's eyes widened in surprise when Delveon merely controlled the Rock's with Psychic and forced all of them into the swift attack, cancelling both out immediately. Misty frowned when she saw Infernape still building it's attack and special attack. She immediately reacted once she realized what they were trying to do.

"Starmie, quickly! Rapid spin on Delveon!" Starmie immediately rumbled in, spinning swiftly at Delveon. Brock followed suit with an attack as well. "Onyx, back Starmie up by using rock throw!" As Onyx hurled a large boulder towards Delveon, everyone in the audience got a huge shock when Starmie was picked out of the air by Delveon's golden feelers. Then, Misty's eyes widened in terror as Delveon held Starmie up and began smacking it around like a Piñata. She mentally cursed, remembering how Delveon had done the same thing to Cilan's Crustle two rounds before.

Her jaw dropped as the worst part had yet to be seen. After smacking around Starmie, Delveon hurled it straight back at Misty and Brock, and watched as it collided head on with the boulder coming it's way. Alpha and Omega's side of the field let out a giant cheer of happiness, while Misty's and Brock's moaned in disappointment.

As Starmie regained its balance, both Misty and Brock knew that Infernape's attack and special attack were undoubtedly at dangerous levels by this time. They had to finish Infernape now, even if it meant having to try and muscle their way past Delveon. "Starmie, Hydro Pump!" Brock yelled. "Onyx, use Hyper Beam!"

The entire crowd gasped as two of the most powerful attacks in Pokémon soared towards the two Pokémon standing across from them. Ash silently sent. 'Now Infernape.' The explosion that hit the field scorched some of the eyebrows of the audience, but then were put out by the water that followed it. Everyone held their breath, had Delveon managed to stop the two attacks as well? For many moments, or maybe just a couple seconds, everyone watched the smoke with bated breath. Then, finally, they saw it. It was Infernape. It was standing still, in front of Delveon. For a few more seconds, nothing happened, then, it fell to one knee, gasping in pain.

Watch Party…

Everyone gasped in shock when they realized Infernape had taken the attack. Gary practically yelled. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS INFERNAPE THINKING!? DELVEON COULD'VE SAVED IT AGAIN SO NOW WHAT YOU POWER UP YOURSELF UP NOW AND THEN YOU JUST GET YOURSELF FRIED RIGHT ATFER?"

Elesa was also bewildered, but not as angry. "I don't get it either, I'm sure there were far better choices that to take that attack itself. They had plenty of time to dodge it!" Skyla was quiet for a moment before she whispered. "Unless they didn't intend to dodge it in the first place." Everyone who heard her stared in confusion.

Jasmine questioned her friend. "Care to explain?"

Skyla shrugged. "Well, it makes sense if they on purposely wanted them to attack head on. As-" She held her breath as she corrected herself. "Alpha and Omega both know that normal power attacks won't do anything to them because Delveon's defense and special defense are too powerful, and with Infernape getting stronger and stronger behind them…"

Daniel spoke. "… they would have to do something rash. But the question is, why didn't they just sidestep the move?" Cynthia was quiet for a moment before she suddenly said. "They didn't just buff up Infernape once." Everyone now was staring at her. "This… this was their plan! To end it in one swift stroke! By openly attacking them, Misty and Brock have released…"

Battlefield…

Infernape's eyes suddenly became mad and dancing with power. It stood up, slightly hunched over, before looking up with eyes that were maniacal enough to give Brock and Misty nightmares for weeks. A sinister smile appeared on its lips before it suddenly it roared. "INNNNFERRRRNAPPPPEEE!" The fire on its head quadrupled in size, and the fire emitting from its arms doubled as well.

Ash smirked brightly. "Blaze."

The crowd gasped at the raw power of Infernape, and Misty and Brock were now just realizing they were walking even further into the trap, and further poking the bear. They were so mesmerized by the pure power of Infernape that they didn't even react to when Ash roared. "FINISH THEM BOTH INFERNAPE! USE MAGMA STRIKE!" The entire crowd watched as Infernape leapt up into the sky, did a front flip, and then, raised both its fists behind its head, and knees bent backwards in a 90 degree angle.

Infernape channeled it's most powerful fire type move it could into an earthquake, and just before it smashed into the ground, it smashed both its fists into the battlefield below. The result… was chaos. Lava spurted from the ground, and rapidly rumbled towards their shocked opponents. With every piece of battlefield it claimed, the lava trail grew wider in width, taller in height, and faster in speed. (AN: Think of this attack as an absurdly powerful, Lava Earth Power – Fire and Ground Type attack)

Everyone watched in terror as the attack consumed both Onyx and Starmie, and then, in a blinding flash of light, the entire battlefield exploded. The explosion was so loud, so bright, so powerful, and so devastating that the shields that protected trainers and spectators alike broke after a moment of trying to contain the power. Ash and John put every ounce of aura strength they had into planting their feet into the ground, determined to hang on.

Misty was thrown backwards up against the shield that protected the audience, until that too broke and she was sent hurtling into the stands. Brock was hit by a large rock and was knocked out by the explosion. The entire spectacle could be seen all throughout Cerulean, and power went out nearby for blocks and blocks.

Three minutes had passed since the move had been used, and the referee, who miraculously appeared uninjured other than a small bit of blood on his lower lip, stood up and could only gawk at the battlefield below. There was now a crater a good thirty feet deep, along with four Pokémon. Onyx was currently next to some excess lava, looking crispy and completely knocked out. Starmie was lodged into some of the hot magma at the very bottom of the crater. And, standing right next to it, was a completely unharmed Delveon and a panting Infernape.

"Onyx and Starmie are unable to battle, Delveon and Infernape win! And therefore, the winners of the matchup and those advancing to the semifinals are… ALPHA AND OMEGA!" Their cloaked figures were supposed to appear on the big screen, but due to the massive detonation, the explosion had also knocked off the stadiums emergency power. The roar that came from the stadium was deafening. Ash pumped his fist to the sky and John just chuckled as Delveon cheerfully sat down in front of him after it hopped out of the crater.

"You did great Delveon. Thanks so much." He smiled at her before she cooed and was returned to her pokeball. Ash hopped into the crater and slid to the bottom, where Infernape was trying to catch its breath. He sat down next to the fire monkey and said with a smile. Infernape panted a little as it stared as it's trainer. Ash held out it's fist before Infernape realized what Ash wanted.

Infernape grinned and gave Ash a killer fist bump. At the exact moment their fists connected, Ash's eyes widened as he felt a strong burst of power, far, far away. He looked around for anything out of the ordinary, but, as he suspected, it was nowhere nearby. So, he chose to forget it for the time being He chuckled and gave the fire monkey a huge hug.

They had advanced.

XXXXXXXXXX

Just as Ash had felt the burst of power from somewhere within the world, someplace in the universe, in a beautiful, magnificent castle, a small group of people sat in a room murmuring amongst one another in fitful whispers. Most of these people were fairly older, being in the late twenties or beyond. Most of them, that was. All at once, everyone was quiet as they saw an old man with a long beard walk into the room with a grim look on his face. He walked in with a furious stride but was cut off from his train of thoughts when someone said.

"Ahem, sir?" A young man spoke with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The man looked at him and smiled. "Yes? What is it my boy?" The boy smiled sheepishly. "The door sir." Realization dawned on the man's face and he smiled. "Thank you for reminding me." He turned to the door and murmured something under his breath. As if by magic, the door swung shut and locked. The man took the seat at the head of the table and then cleared his throat.

"May I please have your attention?" Everyone was watching the man with a genuine curiosity. The old man cleared his throat and spoke calmly. "I've called this meeting on such sure notice because it would seem… that our situation with our current enemy has changed." A man possibly in his forties or fifties with red hair said. "How so?"

The old man sighed and removed his spectacles with obvious stress. He wiped them clean with his wrist before saying. "Because of our previous success against them, according to what we know, and thanks to our chosen one, we now are aware our enemies are seeking help from other worlds to help them win this coming war. We must now figure out what their complete plan is if we are to stop them." Another redhead, this one looking much younger, spoke. "Sir, how are we going to do this? Who knows what he's after if he's trying to breach into other worlds?" The room began chattering quietly when the old man's voice rose over the group.

"We are concocting a plan of our own. We do not know even if our enemies will be successful at this, but…" He spoke with an ominous tone. "if they are… we must be ready."

AN: Ash and John leveled Brock and Misty rather easily and advanced to the next round with flying colors. However, just what exactly did Ash sense, what did the group of people mean by "breach" into other worlds? More importantly, whom exactly are this group of people anyway? Who are the "enemies" of which they speak? What will come next? Keep reading to find out!
