A Tepig's Tale

Episode 71

Elite 4 Battles 

Shauntal 

Shauntal: So, you wish to challenge me and my Ghost-Type Pokémon. Not to frighten you, but once this battle is over, I'll gladly accept some new ghosts into my rank. Cofagrigus! Go! sends out Cofagrigus 

Aidan: Alright, let's show them what we're made of. 

McFly: You said it Aidan. I'll handle the Drifblim no problem. 

Harmony: Golurk will stand no chance against my powers. 

Pignati: And that Chandelure is as good as toast. Literally. 

Lasagna: You got this guys! 

Jade: Kick their ghostly buts into next week! 

one battle later 

Shauntal: I'm impressed. Perhaps you do have a slither of hope in defeating the rest of us. You may proceed. 

Ontario: Thank Arceus, this place was creeping me out. 

the group heads out but Sasha stays a bit longer 

Sasha: Hey, um, Shauntal? 

Shauntal: Yeah, what is it? 

Sasha: You seem, pretty connected with Ghost-Type Pokémon. Can you, like, feel their presenses and communicate with them? 

Shauntal: You speak as though you have more to say, like you're trying to reach out to someone you held dear but passed on. Tell me, what was their name? 

Sasha: Shantae. She wasn't my biological sister, but she felt that way to me. I had her buried in Celestial Tower, and I was wondering if you knew if she had passed on into a Ghost-Type? 

Shauntal: It is hard to say at this moment. Not every Pokémon gets to become a Ghost-Type. They are forged through either the compassion of those who hold their memories in their hearts, or the vengeful spirits of those who were wronged seeking revenge. I can tell that both of those situations could apply to you. It is just hard to say which one will come to be. 

Sasha: .. I see. Thank you. leaves 

Grimsley 

Grimsley: There are some types of Pokemon who wield the power of Dark-Type moves to be considered, unnatural. So, I will show you the true power of the dark side. Liepard, attack! sends out Liepard 

Lasagna: Ok guys, you've got this. Pignati, you can take out the Liepard no problem. Once the Krookodile comes out, Harmony can take her out. If not, Jade can finish the job. Scrafty should be no problem for Aidan, and Bisharp should be handled swiftly by McFly. Got that? 

The other 5: Got it! 

Lasagna: Now show him what's what! And how stupid Dark-Types are! 

Adam and Ava: Ehem! standing behind Lasagna 

Lasagna: I-I mean, show him how stupid 'his' Dark-Types are. Hahahaaaaa.... please don't hurt me. 

Adam: As long as we can use your shell as a chair to watch the battle. 

Ava: In that case, no hard feelings. 

Lasagna: Phew. 

one battle later 

Grimsley: Damn, I've been defeated. Looks like you've won, but you'll never defeat the champion. vanishes 

Ontario: What the...! Where'd he go!? 

Shanir: I guess he couldn't fall here and had to make his retreat. I guess? 

Pignati: Well in any case, we're halfway done with the Elite 4. 2 more to go and then it's the champion. 

Sasha: I wonder who it could be? 

McFly: nervous laughing Y-Yeah. Who could it be? 

Harmony: ... You know the answer McFly. Tell us. 

McFly: W-What! N-No! No, no, no. I don't know. 

Harmony: It's Iris. 

McFly: ... yes. 

Aidan: You're kidding. 

Lasagna: Harmony is never wrong. Believe me, I know. 

Jade: Wait, so does that mean? I'm going up against the strongest dragons in all of Unova!? 

Pignati: Are you, terrified? 

Jade: Well, yes. But also, I'm so excited! And terrified. Mostly terrified, but so excited! 

Aidan: Just keep it under control. You're still pretty under leveled compared to us. 

Shanir: Don't worry, I'm sure once we finish the last 2 members, you'll be set. 

Ontario: Plus we have a mountain of Rare Candies we can use. 

Jade: You're right. Ok, let's finish this. Together. 

All 6 members: Together! 

the group heads off to their next opponent
