A Tepig's Tale

Episode 57

Back in Humilau City

McFly: Team Plasma can't be too far from us, can they?

Aidan: Who knows at this point. These guys come out of nowhere it seems.

Jade: Maybe they're walking alongside us right now?

Harmony: Do not worry, the odds of Team Plasma being within our vicinity is approximately 0.0342573%

Pignati: sweating bullets knowing full well a member of Team Plasma is among them

McFly: Pignati, are you, sweating?

Pignati: N-No. I'm, scalding?

Aidan: I guess that makes sense.

Ontario: riding on top of 'Shanir's' head Pignati? How did it feel being a Water Type for a moment in the gym?

Pignati: Weird, to say the least. Besides, 2 Water Types is enough around here.

Ontario: Indeed. What do you think Shanir?

Sasha: Honestly, I don't mind Water Types. Doesn't affect me all that much. Plus, blue is a cool color.

Ontario: I know. whispers to her Just like this Rare Candy you gave me. Thanks. ;).

Sasha: I mean, considering you gave me this wonderful scallop, I figured you'd deserve a reward as well.

Ontario: Aw, thanks so mu...

suddenly, vines come out of nowhere and wrap around Ontario

Everyone else: What the...!?

???: Stay, away from him you snake!!!! slithers into frame revealing herself as Shanir

McFly: HUH!? Shanir! But, how are, but you're, why are you, WHAT!?

Aidan: What's going on here!?

Shanir: Don't you see! I'm the real Shanir. She's an imposter! Isn't that right, Serperior Sister!

everyone else gasps

Sasha: Wha-What are you talking about? I'm not...

Shanir: sets Ontario down Don't play dumb with me you little weasel! gets into a tussle with Sasha as the two duke it out

Jade: Serperior Sister!?

Harmony: That would imply that the Servine Sisters of Team Plasma have evolved once again.

Adam: And if that's the case, they must be getting serious now.

Ava: Really serious.

Ontario: watching the two Serperiors fighting Guys! Do something!

the two come to a stalemate with each other held tight in each other's vines

Shanir: Guys, I'm the real Shanir! Hit the one on the left!

Sasha: She's lying! I'm the real Shanir!

McFly: They both look so similar I can't decide who's who. I know, let's play a game of 20 questions! Whoever guesses correctly is the real Shanir!

Shanir: McFly that is the stupidest idea you've ever had in your entire life.

McFly: ... points to Sasha It's her, she's the faker.

Pignati: grabs Sasha while burning away the vines and suplexing her before putting her in a headlock Alright, fess up. Who are you!?

Sasha: panting I'm, I'm...

Ava: Hold on,... Yeah. I do know you. Sasha, correct?

Sasha: ... Yes. I'm Sasha.

Jade: The same Sasha that was nearly clawed to death by Aidan?

Harmony: It would appear so.

McFly: Alright sister, I've got a lot of questions and I'm looking for a whole lot of answers here. So let's start with...

Shanir: McFly. Shut up. She doesn't have to say anything. She's the enemy. That's all I need to know. Now leave us alone.

Aidan: stern voice Wait. Before you go, I have one question for you.

Sasha: with a terrified look in her eyes staring back at Aidan W-What is it?

Aidan: ... Were you the one who set my parents free?

Sasha: ... looks over at Aidan's parents then back to him ... Yes. That was me.

Aidan: ... Thank you. walks away

Pignati: Now then, chucks her onto the ground I think it's time for you to leave.

Ontario: W-Wait! Can't she stay!?

Shanir: Absolutely not.

Ontario: But she was so nice to me! I gave her a scallop, and she gave me this Rare Candy... Shoot! I wasn't supposed to say that!

Shanir: grabs Ontario's Rare Candy and chucks it We don't accept gifts from our enemies. Now leave!

Sasha: looking over at the angry faces of everyone aside from Ontario's sad face She's right. I don't deserve to be with you guys. slithers away

Ontario: B-But, she and I were like siblings. I thought that was what we had.

Shanir: Well she's wrong, and I'm not your sibling.

Ontario: Wait, you're not...?

Shanir: NO! I have been your guardian and nothing else since the very start!... realizes what she said ...

Ontario: heartbroken ... Oh. I see. turns around and walks towards Pignati in silence before climbing on his shoulder and sitting, still saying nothing

Shanir: realizes the horrible mistake she has now made
