A Tepig's Tale

Episode 33

After competing in the PWT 

McFly: Woo! That was fun. 

Jade: Totally. 

Harmony: It was a very satisfying experience from beginning to end. 

Aidan: Hey, uh, glad you had fun but, we still need to find Ontario. 

Pignati: He's right. We should find Shanir and see if she's seen him yet. 

Jade: Hey! Over there! spots a Plasma grunt After him! 

the five rush after him and onto the boat 

meanwhile elsewhere on the boat 

Ontario: sobbing 

suddenly, a Servine-like figure approaches Ontario, and puts their hand on his shoulder 

Ontario: sniff S-Shanir? 

???: Sure, let's go with that. Why so sad little one? 

Ontario: Well, I just learned, that one of my friends just lied to me. He's a Water-Type like me, but he doesn't even know any water moves. Nor can he even swim. He was supposed to be my Water Bro. 

???: Aw, you poor little thing. uses Vine Whip to wrap around Ontario like a hug 

 Ontario: T-Thank you Shanir. It's nice to know I have someone I can turn to. 

??? Well, ... think again. chokes Ontario out with the Vine Whip, revealing to have been Shimmer this whole time 

Shimmer: Works, every, time. You take it from here girls! 

Shantae: On it. One tied up Pokemon on the double. 

Shantae and Sasha tie up Ontario 

Sasha: I'm sure Lord Ghetsis will be happy when we bring him this little guy. 

Shimmer: If there's one thing good about having a poorly developed brain, is that it's much easier to manipulate. He'll make for a fine test subject for Lord Ghetsis' newest invention. 

Shanir: HEY! Let him go! shows up with Vine Whip in hand 

Shimmer: Ah, look who decided to come aboard. If you want, we can off load this little freak off your back. He'll be much more useful in our care then yours. 

Shanir: I don't care if he's not like the others, but he deserves to live life like anyone else! Now give him back! 

Shimmer: Go ahead. Try. 

Shanir engages in combat with the Servine Sisters using a variety of moves like Leaf Blade, Slam, Leaf Tornado, Coil, etc. Eventually though, Shimmer uses Leaf Tornado on Shanir and blows her overboard 

Shimmer: Go bye, and good riddance. Captain! Get us out of here! 

the ship then disappears out of nowhere, leaving Blaise and her team standing on the dock in shock 

McFly: What just happened? 

Jade: We were just on board, and then...? 

Pignati: Harmony? Got anything? 

Harmony: I am unsure as to how the ship was able to disappear so quickly without any traces what so ever. 

Aidan: ... Thank Arceus I am no longer on that boat anymore! I know it's stupid, but man I still do not like boats! 

incoming call on Xtransceiver 

Pignati: answers Hello? 

Shanir: Pignati. It's me. 

Pignati: S-Shanir!? Where are you? Why do I hear water? 

Shanir: Look, I don't have much time to talk. But I'm hanging onto Team Plasma's ship, presumably heading to some top secret base of theirs. More importantly, Ontario is on this ship and he's been captured. I don't know how long I'll be gone, but I'm not coming back without Ontario. It's my duty to keep him safe, and as his si... guardian, I'm going to do whatever it takes to save him. Don't come looking for me, it'll only let Team Plasma get more Pokemon. But should we cross paths again, I know you'll have my back. 

Pignati: Ok. Good luck Shanir. You two come back safe. 

Shanir: I promise. ends call 

Jade: Not much we can do now except, keep moving forward and find more info on Team Plasma. 

Harmony: Indeed. We must gather as much intel as possible to determine what their ultimate goal will be. 

McFly: You doing alright Aidan? 

Aidan: ... I'm fine now. And, I'm not gonna blame myself for Ontario getting caught, too many variables there. But there's one thing I know I want to do. When we see Ontario again, I'll promise him I'll be the best Water Bro of all time. 

Pignati: Alright. looks out onto the sea Stay safe Shanir.
