Hey everyone welcome back to the story! As Thanos said in infinity war "The end is near," and it truly is. This story is coming to a close in just a few short chapters, and I still cannot believe it. I still feel guilty about saying how I believed this story would surpass 300k words and overall if my plan does go how I expect it to, although this particular story won't surpass 300,000 words, overall this saga will.

Not sure of too many details on my next story, only that the one after this is going to be a Harry Potter and Pokémon crossover fanfiction. However, unlike this story, I'm going to honestly try and split up Harry Potter and Pokémon evenly within the story. Again, that is the plan but as you all know the plan commonly changes so I suppose anything possible at this point in time.

Well I guess with that I'll just send it right into the story. If you're new, please follow and favorite the story, regardless of how little is left lol. Enjoy guys!

ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes Chapter 52

Last Chapter…

John and Ash shared looks that were unreadable. John turned to his water-type and spoke calmly. "What have you not chosen to tell us?" Lucario remained silent for a moment before speaking quietly.

"We have found new masters."

Ash's eyes widened slightly in shock. John too had a look of similar disbelief on his face. Lucario spoke softly and guiltily. 'Feraligator and I have had a change of heart for who we believe is our most worthy master, however, we did not wish to bother you with our concerns.' Feraligator spoke softly. 'We feared that since you both took us under your wing for so long, it was our fear that you would abandon us if we voiced our opinions.'

Ash and John once more spared glances at one another. It was common knowledge that the Pokémon was better trained under the person it most connected with, especially for aura mancers. They were silently communicating for a moment before Ash spoke softly. "Who have you bonded to, Lucario and Feraligator."

Both Pokémon were quiet before Feraligator spoke. 'The other.' Ash blinked. John spoke slowly. "You've bonded with each other?" Lucario quickly spoke. 'No, not like that in the slightest!'

Feraligator spoke once again. 'The other trainer.'

And for a few more moments, nobody spoke a word. It was deathly silent in the room. Ash and John knew what their Pokémon meant, but they were truly taking in these words as they knew how much their world's would change should they choose to accept it. John was the one that broke the tension. "Lucario, you believe I am your rightful master… and Feraligator… you believe that Ash is your rightful master?"

Both Pokémon nodded their heads.

Elesa glared at Ash. "Until we find out a way to make sure you won't be blown into pieces if you go through that portal, you're not doing anything as long as I have something to say about it!" Ash groaned and sat down, putting his head in his hands while trying to block out all the negative words his friends were using. John too had a smiliar look plastered on his face. Jasmine was scolding him by yelling. "You said you wouldn't go anywhere else, that you were done chasing danger!"

John retorted. "In this case, Danger has chased me." John quickly ducked to avoid Jasmine's hand slapping him across the cheek. Skyla cried. "We can't lose you again, do you hear me? I've had to go through with it once already and Jasmine twice, do you hear me John Stamkos?" Ash was being told by Cynthia. "You cannot and will not go through that portal without proper backup and information, do you hear me?"

Keeghan sighed a little. "I haven't had to go through it as much as you girls, still… I wish it never happened at all."

Jasmine whirled to Keeghan and shoved a finger under his throat with a deadly look in his eyes. "You, shut it! ALL of us wish none of this ever happened, but we can't just change time and pretend like it never happened!" At those words, Ash suddenly raised his head in shock. His brain began spinning in overdrive.

'…Time… Could… could that work?' He thought rapidly. Cynthia waved a hand in front of Ash's face and said with an annoyed glance. "Hey, earth to Ketchum?" He blinked and looked up at Cynthia's face and broke out into a wide grin. John noticed and spoke to his friend. "What is it Ash?"

Ash's smile was so wide it was nearly touching his ears. He spoke with an eagerness that was rivaled second to none. "I have an idea."

Mrs. Weasley let a sob escape her throat as Dumbledore continued. "Then, as Voldemort finished gloating in front of Harry, before he breaches into alternate worlds… Voldemort uses the killing curse on Ginny." Mrs. Weasley made no attempt to hide her sobs and let the tears roll down her cheeks in waves. Albus finished his story grimly. "Just before the killing curse is about to hit Ginny, there was a flash of royal blue, and Harry woke up from the nightmare."

At that point, the entire room erupted into Chaos. Everyone was screaming, yelling and throwing opinions left and right. Albus and Harry appeared to be the only calm ones there. After a minute of pure chaos, Albus roared. "SILENCE!" Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at their leader with wide eyes. He spoke.

"While it may be true that this Nightmare did occur… it does not mean it is bound to happen. We can still prevent this if we organize a counter attack and strike Voldemort when he is at his most vulnerable." Kingsley Shacklebolt inquired. "When is that Albus?"

Dumbledore responded. "Just after he casts the spell. We will strike just before he breaches, and we will make sure that the portal will close before any of his men or himself can leave to terrorize another planet. And for this, we must be sure of."

Present…

Everyone found themselves staring up at ruins. For Ash, John, Cynthia, and Jasmine, they all knew why they were there. For the rest of the crew, they were very perplexed and bewildered. None of them really had too many words to say because they were in awe of the mystical place. Gary was the one who finally snapped the silence.

"What are we even doing here?"

Ash spoke eagerly. "I think I've found a way to postpone the tournament and combat the threat that is going to come through the portal at the same time!" Elesa blinked at her boyfriend. "Wha…what is it?" Her fear was coming true; she couldn't let Ash leave! Her best friend showed a similar look of terror.

Daniel looked at Ash in bewilderment. "I think that we'd all love for you to let us onto what the actual hell you're talking about…"

Ash grinned cheekily and began explaining. "When Jasmine mentioned something about changing time, it gave me a crazy idea that may just be possible. Many, many years ago, John, Jasmine and I came here to save the world, and at the same time, we met Cynthia. Now, just hearing about that doesn't really mean too much, but, at that same time we met Dialga and Palkia!"

A small round of gasps was heard from the group. Daniel's eyes were wide as saucers. "Y-you two actually met the Pokémon of Time and Space?!" John chuckled and said. "More than that but yeah we did."

Ash continued. "What we would you all say if we can get Dialga and Palkia here?"

Gary couldn't believe his ears. "Are you two seriously suggesting that while you two are in that portal, time in this world will be stopped?!" Ash grinned. "That's EXACTLY what I'm suggesting Gary. This way, because nobody will be moving, nothing will happen, and this way Serena and Calem cannot win the tournament while we're away!" For a good minute or two, nobody spoke. With the exception of Cynthia and Jasmine, everyone was simply staring at Ash and John with mixed looks of disbelief, bewilderment and shock. Keeghan and Daniel exchanged glances of pure incredulity. Elesa looked like she wanted to pout and cry, while Skyla was fighting back tears. Gary asked the question on everyone's mind.

"Do you two think you can get Dialga and Palkia here? Even with John's connection to Arceus, I'm fairly certain you cannot just summon two legendary Pokémon out of thin air." Ash and John shared smirks with one another before Ash said cheekily. "It's actually a bit easier… no scratch that… a lot easier than you're probably thinking it is."

Daniel was nowhere near convinced. "There are many things that we do not know the answer to Ash. If we stop time on this planet, who knows what catastrophe's we may unintentionally bring upon our planet. It's not like we have Dialga and Palkia around to confirm any of this, and we could be disappointed if we don't like what we hear and we've spent all that time waiting for it."

Ash chuckled and waved his hand at Daniel. "Don't worry about getting Dialga and Palkia here Danny-boy, we've got a good grip on that."

Daniel muttered. "Did he just call me…"

John quickly said. "Any other questions?"

Gary did. "You never fully answered my question… Why are we at Spear Pillar?" Indeed, Mewtwo had teleported them all the way to the Sinnoh Region. To Elesa, Gary, Skyla, Daniel, and Keeghan, they were all unaware of the current state of Dialga and Palkia. To their knowledge, they resided in Spear Pillar, but they did not know why it had to be Spear Pillar they had to come out at.

Ash spoke. "Dialga and Palkia, though they can go anywhere in the world, prefer to come out at Spear Pillar due to the fact that it is a secretive and ancient place where both of them can control time and space while being far from the world. It is likely that they will be much more comfortable being here rather than elsewhere."

Daniel cut in. "How do you even know that Dialga and Palkia will even agree to stop time and control the balance within space anyway?"

Ash and John looked at one another before grinning and said cheekily. "Do you trust us?"

Daniel paled a little, unsure of what to say. "I…"

Ash ignored the response and said to the group. "I believe it is time to take a vote. Now… if we can get Dialga and Palkia to stop time and space for us when we leave through the portal, who will support the decision?"

To both Ash and John's shock, nobody raised their hands for a moment or so. Then, one person raised their hand. Everyone stared at the person who did. It was Gary. Ash was honestly taken aback and sputtered in shock. "G-Gary?" Gary nodded and spoke loudly and confidently. "Everyone, you need to listen to what I have to say. I… for one, do not like the idea whatsoever of Ash and John hopping into some random portal…" Ash was about to cut in but Gary swiftly kept his stride going.

"BUT… we are out of options here. If Ash and John don't go into the portal to take the fight to whatever is coming here, then there may not even be a world to defend in the first place. If the forces from the other planet side with Rocket, this entire world will be powerless to stop them. If Ash and John can take the fight to them and take them all out before Rocket and their forces combine, then Ash and John can return safely home with the timeline still intact. The bottom line is simple, we must do whatever we can to keep the threat on their planet." Gary finished.

Everyone was staring at Gary with incredulous looks on their faces. Gary smiled sheepishly and said loudly. "Now… all in favor of this plan?" After a moment, everyone raised their hands into the air, though some of them were rather reluctant. Ash stared at his friend with a smile. "Well… that was a surprise… but sadly it won't compare to the surprise you're about to get."

Simultaneously, Ash and John grabbed a pokeball of their belt and tossed it over their heads in perfect sync, and both opened up to reveal the two legendary Pokémon, who let out their respective roars at the same time. Gary's eyes widen considerably. Both Elesa and Skyla jumped up in the air at the volume of the roars. Keeghan fell backwards and hit the ground while Daniel was just staring in awe of the Legendaries.

Ash and John both saw their friends looking beyond shocked, with the exception of Jasmine and Cynthia, who were already aware of their legendaries. The reason Ash and John never showed them to anyone in public was just because of privacy. The two Pokémon were too powerful to use in normal battles, and only came out of their pokeballs in desperate measures and, of course, whenever they could get moments of free time in the wilderness.

Ash spoke with his Pokémon. "Dialga, our friends have agreed to the plan."

John spoke right after him. "When the portal opens and we get into it, you and Palkia are to stop time of this world and maintain the balance in space until we return in order to prevent Rocket from taking over the world."

Both responded at the same time. 'Yes Master.'

Ash spoke again. "Arceus will let you know when it is time to take action." With those words, both of them vanished on the spot and both of their pokeballs flew back into Ash and John's waiting hands. They were met with similar glances of pure shock and disbelief. Gary, however, was looking at Cynthia and Jasmine, who didn't look shocked in the slightest and accused them. "You… you two knew and didn't say anything?"

Cynthia giggled. "Guilty as charged I'm afraid."

Later that night…

All was silent throughout their suite. After explaining their plan thoroughly to Dialga and Palkia, all of them headed back home via Mewtwo teleport. It was unspoken but yet known to everyone that sleep was in order. John excused himself to shower and his two girls said they would join him. Ash chose not to sleep on that comment, and let it off with a quick chuckle. After a moment of peace on their balcony outside, he walked back in and saw both Cynthia and Elesa waiting for him in bed.

He told them it would be fine, and told them it was okay to head to bed without him. He walked into their bathroom and began rubbing warm water all over his face. The more and more he thought about it, the more and more he began to realize that his friends and lovers were right. He and John were just going to throw themselves through some portal in hopes to stop whatever comes through it?

He then turned on the water to the shower and waited for a moment for it to heat up before sliding in. As he massaged his scalp with some of his scented shampoo, he couldn't help but continue his previous train of thought: Why would he risk his life for something he knew nothing about? It didn't make that much sense.

After another moment, he grabbed his towel and dried himself off. He then walked to the mirror and stared at himself. His raven like hair was still very much his favored style, his dark auburn eyes still burning brightly. His abs gleamed off the reflection of the excess water, and each of his other muscles was well defined. He couldn't help but wonder if this whole plan was just throwing away his life, and that he would regret making this move.

He sighed a little when he walked back into their main bedroom and saw both Cynthia and Elesa, his blonde beauties, sleeping peacefully. He slipped off his bathrobe and pulled up a pair of underpants around his waist. He slipped in between both of his young girls and fell asleep in a matter of minutes.

Some Hours Later…

Ash awoke with a yawn and stretched his body a few times. He then opened his eyes and gasped in shock. He awoke not in his bed, but on the grass. He looked around in paralyzed confusion. Wha… what was this? He knew he would've known if he was moved or awoken by anyone, but yet something clearly happened. He got to his feet and heard laughter some distance away. It was only now that he looked around in the setting he was in.

He appeared to be in some sort of forest. There was no sunlight whatsoever, and everything in sight appeared to be covered in moss or very old. Ash couldn't be quite sure about that though. Then, he began to slowly walk towards the voice that was laughing. After another moment of walking, he saw people in masks standing up over slumped over objects. Ash didn't need long to realize that these slumped over objects were humans, tied up and bound. Ash carefully backed up and away from the masked men.

Then, he turned and saw a man walked right towards him. He held out his hands to fire his aura, but paled in shock when nothing happened. "Come… on…" Ash growled, his panic growing. Finally when the man was right in front of him, he desperately swung his fist at the stranger. You could imagine his look of surprise when his fist faded right through the stranger and the masked man walked right through him as well.

"What… what is going on?" He muttered under his breath. He turned back to the scene in front of him and saw a sight that he would never forget. There, in front of him some feet away, was a man with skin as pale as the full moon overhead. The man had piercing red eyes, a completely bald head, and a nose that looked oddly crushed. He was looking down almost in a tauntingly like fashion at a young man with unruly black hair. He too was tied up mercilessly.

Ash watched as the pale faced man laughed at the poor boy and continued to speak to him with a triumphant tone. Ash was beyond confused, where was he? What on earth was he watching? How did he even get here for that matter? He continued to watch in horror as two men brought in a struggling figure after a moment or two and revealed it to be a young redhead girl. Judging by what he could see, the girl was definitely at least 5 years younger than him. However, before he could break off into another train of thought, cries were heard.

"NO! GIN, NOT GIN!"

"OI! YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER YOU SNAKEFACE BASTARD!"

"GINNY! BACK OFF FROM MY GIRLFRIEND YOU…" Ash almost gasped when he saw the last boy get slapped upside the cheek. Ash shuffled a little bit closer, even though the one man had walked right through him, he still chose to stay hidden. He was now close enough to hear the tied up boys' voice. It had a slight British accent to it as he pleaded with the pale faced man.

"P-Please! Take me instead! I'll do anything! ANYTHING!"

The man merely smirked and spoke quietly to the boy, quiet enough that Ash couldn't make out what they were saying. After a couple more seconds of quiet conversation, the pale face man suddenly cried out. "CRUCIO!" The boy cried out. "NOOOO!" Ash watched in terrified fascination as a bright red light struck the red haired girl and she began screaming and rolling around on the ground in pain. Ash was completely and utterly shocked. What the hell was going on?

He took in the appearance of all the other people that were tied up. Some were looking away, while others watched as tears streamed down their faces. However, quite possibly the most agonizing cries came from the tied up boy. After what seemed like forever, the pale faced man finally stopped whatever it was he was doing. Ash had to wonder, what on earth was "Crucio?" How had the man done that?

However, he once more was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw the girl slowly backing away on the ground, desperately trying to escape the men who captured her. Ash stared as the two males exchanged conversation once more, and it was clear the two hated one another. Ash stared as the pale faced man whispered final words to the boy, before turning to the girl and raising his arm at her. Ash could've sworn he saw a stick in the hand of the man, and the black haired boy let out a choked cry.

"No!" A masked man kicked the back of his leg, and the boy collapsed onto both knees. Ash had just enough time to hear the pale faced man say. "Enjoy your time in hell Potter… it begins now." He waved his arm in the air and roared more confusing words to Ash. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

The black haired boy cried. "NOOOOOOO!" Ash watched as a flash of green rushed instantly at the girl, and followed by a flash of royal blue, the girl slumped back against the ground. Ash's eyes widened in terror as he saw all the life drained clean out of her. She was, undoubtedly, dead. And then, Ash's attention was turned to a clearing on a hill. What he saw made him pale.

There… on top of the hill… was a swirling green portal.

"AUUUGGGGHHHH!" Ash screamed and woke up. His entire face was sweaty. His eyes were wide in terror, palms of his hands sticky and sweaty alike. He looked and saw he was surrounded… by his two lovers. Both girls were miraculously still asleep. How, he was unsure. The entire dreamed replayed itself in his head and Ash leapt out of bed and swung the door open to John's room, and to his surprise, John was standing in his white robes. Ash immediately said. "I just had a vision!"

John looked a little surprised. "You screamed bloody murder through our telepathy, you were lucky I had just gotten up to head onto the balcony when you screamed. I quickly threw this on and was about to see if you were okay."

That explained why Cynthia and Elesa were not woken up; they hadn't even heard him scream. Ash rapidly explained everything that he had seen in his vision, and everything began to come together. John calmly said. "I think… this vision is a sign. Because it's dark outside there… it's likely to say that whenever that portal opens HERE, it will be night also. That appears to be the world we are destined to go into… and the man who is torturing those people is likely the man we must stop."

Ash stared at his friend. "What should we do now?"

John grinned weakly. "Wait."

Across the Universe…

Everyone was murmuring quietly under their breath as they watched their master calmly walk about the forest. The suns rays crept through the leaves in the cool mid-autumn afternoon. The death eaters were watching their master behind their masks with wide eyes. Voldemort smiled evilly. "It is almost time. The day that I shall break Harry Potter forever is nearly here…"

The death eaters stared amongst one another in confusion before it was Wormtail, the scared and quite pathetic looking man, who finally spoke out. "M-M-My lord… forgive me… b-but you sound as t-though y-you do not want to k-k-kill potter…"

Voldemort smirked. "Crucio." Wormtail, otherwise known as Peter Pettigrew dropped to the ground and was screaming in agony for a good two minutes, writhing around in pure pain. It was only then that Voldemort finally lifted the curse. He spoke coldly. "Never… ever… question me." Wormtail managed to stutter. "Y-yes my lord…" Tom Riddle, otherwise known as Lord Voldemort looked at the man cowering on the ground and smirked.

"For your information, dear Wormtail, yes… you would be correct. I do not plan on killing Potter. What I do plan on is luring them into a trap." The death eaters wisely remained quiet as Voldemort calmly continued. "Rather than killing Potter… we will take someone from him so important it will eat him alive."

A voice in the crowd had the guts to sound their voice. "M-my lord… why would we not just kill the boy?" Voldemort turned towards the voice but quite oddly, chose not to attack the man. He spoke with a smirk plastered on his face. "Because, you imbecile… if we killed Potter it is likely that other's would rally to his support in a heartbeat. If we took away someone he loved instead for him to witness, he would either become so aggressive or so depressed that either way he would become vulnerable."

Bellatrix Lestrange, a deranged looking woman with hell-crazed eyes, curly black hair and a sinister smirk on her face grinned madly. "My lord, your plan is amazing!" Voldemort smirked at his most trusted agent. "Of course it is… and all I have to do… is this." He snapped his fingers, and a moment later, across the world, Albus Dumbledore awoke with a start.

He immediately sent for the order, Harry, and the rest of the attack party. It had begun. Voldemort was preparing to breach.

AN: Will Harry and the side of light realize what is wrong before it's too late, or will Voldemort succeed in killing Ginny? Can Ash and John make the jump to Harry's world safely? Come back to read chapter 53 next time… the final chapter of the first fanfiction of the series.
