A Tepig's Tale

Episode 48

In Lacunosa Town at night 

everyone is seen sleeping once again, aside from Aidan who can be found on the bridge still sharping his claws. His eyes show dark marks and heavy bags from the lack of sleep, but his sheer anger keeps him awake 

Aidan: sharpening his claws Team Plasma. When I get to fight you again, I will not hold back. You took, everything from me. My family, my happiness, soon you will suffer a worse fate then me. 

Ontario: approaches Aidan Um, Aidan? 

Aidan: turns towards Ontario What? 

Ontario: It's, pretty late out tonight. Shouldn't you get some sleep? 

Aidan: I don't need sleep. I need revenge. 

Ontario: ... You must really miss your parents. 

Aidan: They were my whole world, and Team Plasma took them away from me. I don't even know why you're talking to me. Just leave me alone. 

Ontario: Well at least you got to grow up with your parents. 

Aidan: What are you talking about? 

Ontario: You think being a starter Pokemon is great fun, well, it isn't. With more and more trainers coming up, the demand for starter Pokemon has been at an all time high. From what Shanir told me, once a starter is born, they're sent off to the Professor to be raised and trained for the new trainers. And when it comes to Oshawotts whose popularity his risen greatly in the last two years, we never get to meet or even know our birth parents. So I have no idea who my mom and dad are, if they even care about me, or if they even remember me? 

Aidan: ... 

Ontario: sits down next to Aidan I never had a real family growing up. I found it difficult to make friends and build relationships with them. So many Pokemon mocked me for my underdeveloped mentality, saying how I'll never find an owner. But then, I met Shanir. She stood up for me, cared for me. She's basically the sister I never had, and I'm sure she feels the same way about me. 

Aidan: ... 

Ontario: Look, I know you're upset. Our family is our greatest gift in the world, and losing someone is devasting. But you're not alone in that. looks over at the others sleeping This, is our family. And I wouldn't trade them for the world. 

Aidan: ... Ontario. Listen. 

Ontario: Yeah? 

Aidan: You're a good kid, and I care about you. takes out the scallop Ontario originally chucked at him I want nothing but the best for you, and to keep you safe no matter what. So can you please do something for me? 

Ontario: What is it? 

Aidan: When we see Team Plasma again, I want you to hide. I don't want you to see the monster I truly am. Can you do that for me? 

Ontario: ... Yeah. I can do that. 

Aidan: cracks a very slight smile Thanks. puts the scallop away and walks off 

Ontario: Aidan... follows from behind
