A Tepig's Tale

Episode 50

Approching Opelucid City 

Pignati: There it is guys, Opelucid City just on the horizon. 

McFly: Man, it felt like it took forever to get here. 

Jade: Well regardless, we're here. 

Aidan: And so is Team Plasma. But not for long when I'm done. 

Harmony: Then it would be of the upmost importance to head into the city. 

Shanir: She's right. Let's move. 

Ontario: Onward! 

Shimmer: steps in front of them Not so fast. an army of Watchogs and Purrloins show up, along with Shantae, Sasha, and the Umbreons You're not going anywhere now. 

Shanir: What do you think you're doing Shimmer? 

Shimmer: Just following orders from the boss. 

Shantae: And that's to keep you and the others out of the city so we can perform our duties. So don't even think about fighting us. 

McFly: ... Really? Is this all you have? 

Pignati: I could sit on all of them and win. 

Harmony: The odds of your side winning is approximately .00001% 

Sasha: Those are some low odds. 

Shimmer: Shut up! Those odds mean nothing to me. 

Jade: Well then what are we waiting for, let's tussle! 

Aidan: No. walks forward This is my fight. I'll handle it. Watch. uses Surf to wash away all the Watchogs and Purrloins 

Sasha: ... 

Harmony: Would you like for me to reevaluate your odds or... 

Shimmer: furious Attack! 

the Umbreons run into action as Aidan jumps right over them and B-lines it for the Servine Sisters, his actual targets. The rest of the group tussles with the Umbreons as they put up quite a fight despite being outnumbered. Eventually, Pignati grabs the two of them saying, 'Sorry Aidan's parents' before chucking them towards the Sisters. Meanwhile, Aidan viciously wrestles with the Sisters, his anger showing no bounds. The two Umbreons deck Shimmer and Shantae knocking them back. Sasha, seeing what happened tries to run over to them, but Aidan uses Blizzard to freeze her in place, before aggressively grabbing her by neck and slamming her into the ground. All Sasha could do was stare into the fiery eyes of Aidan in complete fear 

Aidan: with one paw against her neck and his other in the air with claws out, looks towards the others Don't even think about trying to help her! You guys are beyond saving you worthless wretches! You don't deserve mercy for what you've done. To other Pokémon, or me. 

Shimmer: holding an Eevee whistle behind her Alright, we can work something out here. I mean, you wouldn't want to hurt your own family would you? pulls out the Eevee whistle and blows. Aidan and his parent's revel in pain the longer the whistle goes I could do this all day you know. 

Jade: Aidan! Just let her go! 

Aidan: Why!? Why should I!? These guys ruined my life, and stole my parents! Is it wrong to get revenge? looks down at Sasha I don't think so. 

just as Aidan prepares to rip through Sasha, Jade grabs his hand and yanks him to the ground off of Sasha. Everyone is in disbelief, as Jade turns to Sasha and tells her and the others to leave. They oblige and run off 

Aidan: WHY DID YOU DO THAT!? 

Jade: Because this isn't who you are! You're not a monster, or a killer, you're are friend! And I don't want you to get hurt. 

Aidan: But Team Plasma...! 

Jade: Took your parents, yes! But we'll get them back! I promise you that as your best friend! And when we do, I want the first thing your parents see, is you. The real you. The Aidan that will do anything to keep his friends safe. That's the Aidan I want to see. There's no need to bottle up your emotions, we all know now. So let us in and help you recover. tears swelling up I just want the real you. 

Aidan: all of a sudden, his body grows weak as all the anger and hatred leaves his body. He collapsed onto the ground, unable to hold back his tears ... I, ... sniff I just miss them so much... continues crying as Jade hugs him with tears in her eyes as well 

Jade: It's ok. ... We'll save them. I promise. 

the rest of the group joins in to comfort Aidan
