A Tepig's Tale

Episode 9

Arriving in Castelia City

Ontario: Woah! This city is massive! 

Elekid: Tell me about it. So many sites to see and places to visit, I can hardly contain my curiosity. 

Ontario: What should we do first here? 

Elekid: Hmm? Want to try Castelia City pizza? 

Ontario: Did you even have to ask? Let's go! 

the two rush off 

Pignati: Where are those two going? 

Shanir: It's probably doesn't matter. Besides, there's bigger Magikarps in this city to fry. Like finding Team Plasma. 

Pignati: And those 'Snivy Sisters' I guess. 

Shanir: Yeah, those girls too. 

Pignati: Say, Shanir. You seem to have a bit of history with them, do you mind sharing with me? 

Shanir: ... fine. You see, just like you I was apart of a housing center for starter Pokemon. As new trainers came in, more Pokemon would leave the facility. Aside from me that is. Even when Snivy's were chosen, no one even bothered to consider me. Of course, over time, I learned to fend for myself. Figured that if no one's gonna look after me, I'll have to look after myself. 

Pignati: Ok. But what about Ontario? You two seem to know each other on some level. 

Shanir: Of course. He was one of many Oshawatt's that filled up the center due to their recent spike in popularity. But Ontario, was special. And not just in the same vain other Oshawatt's were special, he was, uniquely different without being a shiny Pokemon. The breeders say his brain was slightly less developed than the other Oshawatt's and that would cause him to behave differently than others around him. I've seen a lot of other Pokemon picking on him, which would set off a multitude of different emotions in him. Wheather it was crying, screaming, yelling, kicking, or sheer frustration, it was honestly hard to watch concerning the little guy. So I guess out of necessity, I stood up for him in his times of need. If he ever had any problems, he could always come to me. 

Pignati: Oh, I get it now. So you're like an older sister to him. 

Shanir: I prefer the term, guardian. He's not my family and that won't change, looks over and sees Ontario and Elekid eating a slice of pizza, with a pepperoni slice falling on his shell, causing him and Elekid to laugh But as long as I get to see that smiling face, it makes me feel at peace knowing I'm doing something good in this world. 

Pignati: I-I don't know what to say. 

Shanir: Hey, I'm getting hungry myself. Want to join the others for some pizza before chasing after Team Plasma? 

Pignati: Sounds like a plan. Just, no pepperoni please. 

Shanir: quick giggle I'll keep that in mind.
