A Tepig's Tale

Episode 54

In Opelucid City

Aidan: Mom? Dad? I need to know, how did you guys get away from Team Plasma?

Ava: It's hard to say, my memory still a bit fuzzy.

Adam: ... I, I think it might have been one of the Servine Sisters.

Aidan: ... You can't be serious.

Adam: It's just, the shape and figure was a Servine no doubt, and her tone of voice, might have been Sasha. ... Ah. Sorry, my head still hurts thinking about that. It might not be right.

Aidan: Well, whoever it was, I hope I get to thank them.

Ava: Even if it was someone in Team Plasma?

Aidan: ... Maybe. Let's just, not think about that. There are other things I still want to talk to you about.

Adam: Yeah. I really want to know what happened to you while we were gone.

Aidan: ... Let's just say I was in the same bad place as you guys were. You guys and I have probably done a lot of bad things in those years we aren't proud of. Only difference is you don't remember what you did.

Ava: Aidan, it's alright. Just tell us what happened. We'll support you no matter what.

Aidan: Thanks mom. Sit down, it's a long story...

suddenly, a loud boom is heard. Team Plasma's ship appears in the sky and blasts large chunks of ice onto Opelucid City 

Adam and Ava: Aidan, look out! push their son out of the way as they hide from the ice explosions 

Pignati: Aidan! 

McFly: Adam! 

Jade: Ava! 

Ontario: Where are you! 

Aidan: Guys! Over here! 

the gang runs over to them, while Pignati punches an ice chunk away with his fists 

Pignati: What's going on!? 

Harmony: It would seem Team Plasma's airship is firing chunks of ice at us. Their reason for doing so is unknown. 

Adam: You don't think they're after us do you? 

Ava: I hope not.

Back in Team Plasma's HQ, Sasha desperately tries to think of a way out. She looks through her stuff and finds 2 Rare Candies on her

Sasha: stares at the candy Life is better than limbs! swallows the candy, and rushes towards the window. As she fully evolves into a Serperior, her tail smashes through the window, allowing her to slip out

Watchog: sees Sasha break out ...

Sasha: sees the Watchog, tries to sneak away

Watchog: Attack! him and an army of Watchogs charge at Sasha to capture her

Shantae: Hey Shimmer, have you seen Sasha anywhere?

Shimmer: She's dead.

Shantae: Hu-... WHAT!!?!

Shimmer: She was the traitor that let the Umbreons escape. So I had to dispose of her.

Shantae: Bu... Wha.. Why...

Shimmer: Listen, she was getting soft. And after what happened two years ago, Lord Ghetsis doesn't want any more traitors in his rank. So he told me if any one was looking soft, to get rid of them. stares at Shantae Don't tell me you're thinking of betraying us as well Shantae.

Shantae: U- Of course not.

Shimmer: Good.

over the main speaker, 'Attention all staff! A Serperior is running rampant in the base! I repeat, a Serperior is running rampant in the base!

Shantae: ...

Shimmer: disgruntled This is why you always watch the traitor die. Come on!

Sasha: continues running through the base looking for a way out. She suddenly spots an escape pod with the door shut. She tries to use her tail to open the door, but the Watchogs and Grunts catch up to her

Grunt: So, you're the traitor that let the Umbreons go. I knew letting in a group of Snivys was a bad idea. You can't spell sneaky without Snivy.

Sasha: still trying to open the door with her tail behind her while trying to stall the others That barely makes any sense.

Watchog: In any case, how bout you stay still and let us put you in a cage.

Sasha: How bout no. uses Leaf Tornado on the group forcing them back. She gets the door open and rushes inside. She slams the door shut and attempts to type coordinates to launch to, mostly unsuccessfully due to her tail. Shimmer and Shantae then catch up and try to open the door

Shimmer: Open the door! There's no escape for you traitor!

Sasha: slams the control system, forcing the pod to eject into the sky

Shantae: ... She's gone.

Shimmer: Not for long. Once we find where that pod landed, we'll find her. Bring her back, and finish the job.

Shantae: ... Ok.
