A Tepig's Tale

Episode 47

Somewhere in the woods of Route 13 

Sasha: Hey, you two gonna tell me why you just suddenly show up out of nowhere? 

Shimmer: Please, it's not that complicated Sasha. We finished our mission for Lord Ghetsis, and saw you performing your duties. And when we saw you and the Umbreons were in danger, we stepped in. 

Shantae: That's all that matters. 

Sasha: Yeah, I guess. 

Shimmer: Though I am curious why you didn't get involved in the fight yourself. 

Sasha: I figured the Umbreons could handle it themselves. And if an opportunity struck for me to sneak attack, I'd take it. 

Shantae: But that never happened and those Umbreons nearly snapped out of their trance. 

Shimmer: I don't know if you know this, but these Umbreon's have been serving Lord Ghetsis for 5 years now and were some of his first experimentations in the field of brain washing and hypnosis. Losing them would be dire to our cause for complete mind control. Soon, all Pokemon will bow before Lord Ghetsis and his master plan for Unova. 

Sasha: And you're not worried about someone trying to stop us, again? 

Shimmer: Please, we have nothing to worry about. 

meanwhile 

Aidan: ... sharping his claws with a rock 

Pignati: Um, Aidan? 

Aidan: ... still sharping his claws 

McFly: Aidan? 

Jade: You ok there bud? 

Aidan: ... not even listening to them, then proceeds to chuck the rock into the sea Dull. Need a new rock. 

Harmony: What do you plan to do with a rock? As far as I am aware, Vaporeons are not Rock-Type Pokemon and thus aren't able to use Rock Throw, or... 

Aidan: Shut. Up. 

Harmony: ... I see. 

Pignati: He has not been the same since last night it seems. 

Shanir: Gee, I wonder why? 

Ontario: Hey Aidan, I got some stones for you. I've always loved collecting stones to skip across the water. It was a fun past time of mine. 

Aidan: silently but aggressively looking at the stonesOntario: Look at this one! It's super flat and smooth, perfect for skipping if I do say so... 

Aidan: forces Ontario's hand down These rocks are useless to me. I need rocks that are coarse, rough, and durable to sharpen my claws even more. 

Ontario: Why? 

Aidan: So that when I find Team Plasma, I can sink my claws right through their bodies and tear them to pieces. 

Ontario: ... Ok, but what does that have to do with skipping rocks? 

Aidan: It's not about the rock skipping! It's about Team Plasma taking my parents away from me as a child. forcing me to fend for myself, and turning me into the beast I am today! They ruined my life, so I'm gonna ruin theirs. takes Ontario's stone and chucks it into the water, where it proceeds to sink without a single skip I'm going to find a good stone. Don't follow me. leaves 

McFly: ... Yikes. 

Jade: I mean, I knew he could be aggressive, but never this much. 

Shanir: ... 

Pignati: Maybe we should just leave him alone for a while. Let him burn off the steam himself. 

Harmony: I believe that is the best course of action for our friend Aidan. 

Ontario: ... says to himself Not for me it is.
