Harmony: This is a moment in time few people get to experience. I am glad that we are the ones to leave a new mark on Unova. 

Lasagna: Couldn't have said it better myself Harmony. 

Pignati: Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go! 

Blaise: WAIT! 

all of Blaise's Pokemon stop 

McFly: Um? What's the problem? 

Blaise: I just got a new HM to go up waterfalls, you think I'm just gonna let it rot in my bag until after Victory Road? 

Aidan: But, we're literally at the gate. 

Jade: We were going to enter and become the new champions. 

Lasagna: Can't we just wait just a little bit longer? 

Blaise: Guys, I promise you it won't take long. 

Harmony: I believe that our detour will only take a day or two before we can come back to Victory Road. 

Blaise: Exactly, now come on! Let's explore the world one more time! calls Strutly Strutly, let's fly. 

Strutly: ... Bird up. swoops everyone up and flies off

Shanir: uses her vines to lift his head up, revealing their location, Celestial Tower 

Ontario: Oh wow we made it. 

Adam: That's what happens when you walk nonstop all day. 

Ava: But thank Arceus we're here. 

Sasha: Yeah, now we can finally put Shantae to rest. 

Shanir: Then let's not stand around anymore, and head inside. 

the group makes their way to the entrance and are stopped by the owner 

Owner: Woah, woah, woah. Hold up. No wild Pokemon are allowed to... notices the leaf cocoon ... Could I, observe that? 

Sasha: hands the owner the cocoon 

Owner: looks in the cocoon and realizes what's going on I see, my apologies. Follow me. leads them through the tower to an empty space for the cocoon I believe this should be suitable. 

Sasha: Thank you. lowers the cocoon into the coffin, unable to hold back her tears 

Shanir: Adam, Ava. Could you guys go ring the bell up top? 

Adam and Ava: Of course. leaves 

Shanir, Ontario, and Sasha seal the coffin up and carve out the tombstone for Shantae. The tombstone reads, 'R.I.P. Shantae: The Sister That Was Stolen Away From Her Family' At the same time they place the tombstone, Adam and Ava ring the bell. As the bell echoes throughout the tower, Shanir and Ontario condole Sasha as she cries for her former sister 

Sasha: tears in her eyes Thank you guys, for everything. 

Shanir: ... Anytime. 

Ontario: We'll be there for you. Cause we're a family now. 

Shanir: points to Shantae's grave And so is she, in spirit, and in our hearts. 

the three embrace each other in solace, knowing that from here on out, these siblings will be there for one another. Nothing can ever come between that.
