AN: Hey Everyone! Welcome back to the story. Well guys… that will be the last time that I ever tell you that in this story… because this is where it all ends in the first book of the series. After this, I will begin typing the Harry Potter/ Pokémon crossover I've been mentioning for quite some time. It should be an interesting time, as I've been planning to type it for many weeks now but I told myself that I had to focus on one story at a time before going out of my way to type another one.

I may decide to make my chapter in the next story shorter and therefore post more often but I am unsure about that as of right now. I will, obviously give all the details about the story when I post it.

This story was originally posted on my old account "ReignZ" in the beginning of July of 2017, and as I'm pretyping this chapter, I would have to guess that this chapter will be posted around the end of April sometime… and that would mark the end of this fanfiction. Sadly, I believe this fanfiction is just barely going to fall short of 200,000 words. That's my approximation as of right now.

Anyway guys… that's all I've got. I'll talk to ya'll after this chapter is over. Thanks everyone!

ReignZ Presents… 10 Minutes, Chapter 53… The Finale

Last Chapter…

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."

XXXXXXXXXX

"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."

XXXXXXXXXX

Everyone was murmuring quietly under their breath as they watched their master calmly walk about the forest. The sun's 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.

Present… (Hope you enjoy everyone!)

Those following hours after Ash's dream were painful for everyone. You could carve the tension that was in the room with a knife. Gary was doing last moment research, knowing that at any moment, his two friends would have to leave. Their lovers insisted on having as much wild and crazy sex as they could handle until they had left in their systems. Eventually, after a few hours, they were all completely exhausted and took a quick nap.

Gary chuckled as he watched his friends drag themselves out of their beds and return to their common area in which they were all waiting to hear the words from Arceus. The girls were beside themselves at this point. Skyla was softly crying into John's shoulder with Jasmine resting her head on John's lap. Cynthia was staring morosely out on the city below from the balcony and Elesa was sitting in Ash's lap, enjoying their final moments. They all knew what could happen should this go wrong. Daniel and Keeghan were oddly absent.

That only stayed the like that for a few moments more before they both burst into the room. The two began yelling rapidly while interrupting the other, making Gary cry out. "ONE… AT… A… TIME!" The two slowed down, but only just enough to understand them.

"You guys" Keeghan started.

"Need to wait up a second" Daniel continued.

"So that we can"

"Tell you"

"Something Important!" They finished together. Before anyone could respond Keeghan ran into a connecting room and ran back holding a large whiteboard. As Keeghan rapidly began drawing on the board with a red marker Daniel began to explain rapidly. "Okay so me and Keegs over here were running through the possibilities that could go wrong if they did enter the portal and a LOT of stuff came to mind. So, we decided to hypothesize what Ash and John could do if something does go wrong."

Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean if something "goes wrong?"

Daniel explained. "Ash's dream gave us a good idea that wherever the portal is going to take them, its somewhere where they need to be to prevent something dangerous from happening. In this case," Daniel motioned to Ash. "Ash and John will be preventing the pale faced dude and his followers from coming here. So… judging possibilities to possible outcomes…"

He shrugged after a moment, more to himself than anyone else. "I'd say anything is possible. In this case, it's not like we know anything in the slightest. I ran the word "Crucio" that Ash gave me on every database in the world and I'm coming up with jack shit. It means wherever they're going, they're going to be as stunned and in awe of you as you were of them. In this case… well…" He hesitated once he noticed everyone staring at him, with the exception of Keeghan.

"… I would say that you're essentially walking in blind. We have no idea what to expect on the other side… only that you need to make allies and defeat those who want to bring ruin to our world." Daniel said glumly.

Before there was an uproar of commotion, Keeghan interrupted. "BUT…" Everyone then stopped to look at him. "…There is one thing we have been thinking about." He motioned to the board. It was a graphic of a few stick figures on one side to a few stick figures on the other, and a large swirling object connecting them both. He began to explain.

"So… the plan is to simply stop time and control space by using Dialga and Palkia with Arceus' permission. That much is solidified. Because you both can communicate with your Pokémon telepathically, it ensures they can keep an eye on the planet while you both go and try to stop the people trying to come here for evil purposes. However… we had to think about other things after you told us about your dream Ash."

Ash blinked a little. "Like what?"

Keeghan said calmly. "In your dream, you said you saw a man torture a young girl by pointing a piece of wood her and saying the word "Crucio." What Daniel and I hypothesize is that the portal is opened the same way." John grinned. "You two really are quite clever… that's sounds like a theory I'd buy into." Keeghan frowned at this. "I'd hold your cash, there's a catch to it." John looked at him with curious eyes as Keeghan continued rather dully.

"The thing is… if the portal can be opened simply by saying words… it also can likely be closed by saying the same words. And we're also fairly certain the portal may not stay open for all too long, especially if the one who says the words is no longer in the area." Jasmine gasped and cried shrilly. "Are… are you saying that the portal has a chance to close up and we may never see them again?!" Keeghan sadly murmured. "That's exactly what I'm saying… unfortunately."

Skyla cut in and spoke to John. "No way in hell am I letting you hop into that thing; what if you can't come back!?" The other girls nodded their agreement but Ash shut them all down by whipping out an ace.

"Let's say we don't go through that blasted portal. The man and his army come here and begin torturing people by the thousands. Rocket joins arms with them and we're helpless to stop them. We would have to watch as people suffer, die and are buried at our feet while we can do nothing but watch because it's too late to stop them. How do you think it would make us feel, knowing that we could've stopped them before it even began? How could we ever live with ourselves if you all died because of us?" Those words struck at the girls cores… and they all began to realize this was something that Ash and John had to do… nothing something they wanted to do.

Keeghan nodded. "Well spoken."

Daniel spoke. "There's one final matter to discuss."

Everyone listened in as Daniel spoke. "After reading the possibilities of stopping time, I've determined that, for the most part, it should be safe." Ash's eyes narrowed a little. "For the most part?" Daniel sighed and spoke. "This is my opinion… I know it will not be the popular opinion… but it is mine nonetheless… we want the portal to close behind them." As Daniel had foresaw, there was an uproar of outrage and anger from most of the group.

He allowed them to vent before he spoke quietly. "Let me explain my reasoning…the one thing that could ruin this entire plan is simple. If you two manage to get to the other world in tact… if the other group manages to get through the portal to come here instead… time will begin to bend."

Ash cocked his head a little. "Bend?"

Daniel nodded. "Yes. Essentially… when time freezes, everyone and everything that is on this planet will freeze up. However, if something from outside the planet enters it, Dialga will try and bend time to capture it in its grasp as well. However… should too many things enter the planet while time is stopped…"

Gary mumbled. "Time begins again…"

Daniel nodded. "Exactly. Which is why I think I have a way to make it work. When you two hop through the portal, just before time stops, try to focus some of your Aura to try and make it so that only you two can enter the portal. Aura recognizes Aura users only, and as we're assuming, none of those people know the ways of Aura."

John looked thoughtful. "So you're saying that if we almost put a "lock" on it so to speak… it will only allow Ash and I through?"

Daniel nodded. "Theoretically. If the pale faced man tries to open it again, as long as he uses the same spell, as long as you've set up the portal from our planet, it will essentially act like a barrier that prevents them to come through."

Skyla had a rather good question. "Why can we not just put the barrier up to prevent them from coming and call it a day?"

Ash answered this. "One, I'll be damned if I let those bastards torture those poor people. Two, they can always find a way to break the curse. They'll keep trying till they find a way to succeed. Rather take care of the problem now that try to knock it out later." Daniel furiously nodded his head. "A perfect way to say it."

And with those words… nobody spoke anymore. They all began preparing for what they knew was coming within minutes, hours, days. They may have not gotten an exact day, but they knew very well that they had no choice and that they had to accept what was about to happen. Night slowly fell and the tension began to increase… it was almost as though everyone could sense it was the night that Ash and John would leave the world… possibly forever.

The girls were in their rooms talking quietly to one another. Gary was talking to Mewtwo, in preparation for what they knew could come at any moment. Keeghan and Daniel were still talking additional strategies to combat their opponents. Ash and John were quietly mumbling to one another, not even bothering to do so telepathically. It was probably a good thing that they weren't talking telepathically either, because just then… at that moment…

'Mr. Stamkos…' John immediately recognized the voice and a pool of dread began to fill in the bottom of his stomach. Could it be this soon? John's recognition showed on his face and Ash sat up a little more straight while looking at John with wide eyes. John sent a reply to the voice, almost hoping it was fake.

'Mr. Stamkos… it is time. Mewtwo shall know the location shortly… go.' The voice spoke to him. John immediately hopped up, and Ash followed him. Ash roared. "IT'S HAPPENING!" Everyone came running out of their respective rooms a few moments later wearing sweatshirts and jackets. Ash and John threw their robes on and grabbed their Pokémon along with backpacks that they had prepared for when they had to leave.

Mewtwo called out. "Let's go, it's happening any moment now!" the group all huddled together and in one flash, they appeared in a forest clearing. Ash couldn't help but notice how eerily similar this forest was to the one in his dream. John, meanwhile, did recognize the place where they had landed. It was Viridian Forest, it wasn't too far away from Pallet Town and Viridian City.

Gary blinked and looked around. "I hate to be this guy… but where is the portal?" As if on cue, there was suddenly a low rumbling in the forest. Everyone looked at Gary who groaned. "I had to ask didn't I?" Behind him, there was a swirling of grass and small amounts of dirt. It began to swirl and fly directly in front of everyone until finally, it flashed green and everyone could make out the breach to another world. Daniel and Keeghan appeared to be in awe of the mystical phenomenon. Gary was looking at it with wide eyes. All the girls seemed to have looks mixed with various emotions.

Ash sighed and licked his lips. While John was currently focused on putting a block on their side of the portal, Ash began saying his goodbyes. He walked over to Daniel and held his hand out to him. Daniel took it and smiled at Ash. "You'll be fine Ketchum… although I won't remember you being gone at all if everything goes well." Ash smiled and said back. "If something does go wrong… stay with everyone… defeat Rocket. You have amazing potential Daniel, I'm glad you're on our side. Without you, we wouldn't even be here."

Daniel gave Ash one last grin before Ash moved onto Keeghan. The dirty blonde haired man smiled and bro-hugged Ash with a grin. "For every ass you kick in that world… do it for the boys back home." Ash grinned. "Always." Keeghan let out his signature laugh and smacked Ash on the back, grin still in place. "Go get em Ashy-boy… rip through those bastards like paper… show them true power." Ash nodded and with a small smile walked to Skyla and Jasmine, who were both fighting back tears.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, both girls gave him tight hugs and cried into his shoulders. Ash smiled and said softly. "Don't worry… for you girls you won't even know we left." Jasmine punched him on the shoulder, her eyes still stained from the tears. "You better keep our boyfriend safe." Skyla wiped her tears from her eyes and whispered. "He needs you to watch his six… and vice versa." Ash grinned weakly and hugged them both tightly. He broke the hug and walked to Gary. At the corner of his eye, he saw John talking with Daniel, presumably giving his goodbyes as well.

Gary had a small grin on his face, but Ash could see the pain and hurt behind the mask. Ash smiled a little and put a hand on his shoulder. "Should anything happen to us… you keep everyone safe. Never stop believing… never stop fighting… and never stop loving. Daisy would kill you." Ash spoke with a chuckle. Gary smiled through the tears that were threatening to be released. "I'll make sure of it Ashy-boy… just promise me one thing." Ash looked at him. "Name it."

Gary spoke with a smirk. "Try not to hook up with any girls… knowing your luck you'll find yourself in a babe mansion within moments and hundreds of girls throwing themselves at you." Ash just shook his head with a grin on his face and gave his good friend a tight hug that Gary returned. Ash broke it and then walked to his two lovers, who both appeared to be on the point of a complete emotional breakdown.

Ash looked at the two girls; how he loved them both! They looked like goddess' everywhere they went. Silently, he feared the worst would happen and that they were never able to come back. Elesa walked up to Ash first and planted a hard kiss on his lips for a good ten seconds before Ash broke the kiss reluctantly. "I love you so much Elesa…" Elesa would've responded, but she was too choked up to even conjure a response.

Ash turned to his other blonde lover and unlike Elesa, she walked up to Ash, tears streaming down her cheeks. Rather than kiss him immediately, she gently wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered softly. "Please… please come back to me." Ash nodded silently and with an aggressive kiss on the lips that Cynthia tried to deepen before Ash broke it off, he turned his back on all his friends as he stood in front of the portal a good twenty feet away.

John finished saying his goodbyes before he stood right next to Ash. He looked at his closest friend and said quietly. "Well… what are you thinking about bud?" Ash shook his head slowly and murmured. "To be frank… everything. I just hope this goes well…" John nodded. "With luck, we can defeat the ones who wish to backup and reinforce Rocket and come back safe and sound."

They both now looked at the portal with grim looks on their faces. Just before they were about to hop into the portal, a voice cried out. "WAIT!" Daniel ran towards them, holding two objects. "Here!" He handed one to Ash and one to John. It appeared to be a tight and slick neck warmer of some sort. Daniel explained. "Put that on so it covers your mouth and neck region. That way, people will have a harder time identifying you and you look a ton cooler on top of it." Ash chuckled and John thanked Daniel before slipping the object over his head so it covered his mouth and everything below it on his face. (AN: Essentially one of those things that skier's wear over their mouths to prevent it from getting cold… or a ninja to cover their face.) Ash slipped his on as well. His was black while John's was white.

The two looked at one another once more before pulling their hoods up and looking one last time at the group that they hoped to Arceus they would see again. Both nodded to the group at the same time and sent Skyla and Elesa into tears as they looked at one another one final time. They firmly clasped hands and then in perfect motion, began walking to the portal in front of them.
