A Tepig's Tale

Episode 80

In Undella Town 

Sasha: I don't know Shanir, we've been hanging around these Crustles for days now and still no sign of Shimmer. 

Shanir: She's coming. I promise. Just be a bit more patient. 

Cass: In any case, thanks for looking out for us. Word's spread through the Pokemon news about the killings and we'd hate to lose one of our own. 

Shanir: Don't worry, everything's going to be alright. 

Callie: AHHH!! 

Cass: Callie! What is it!? 

Callie: My Dwebble! Darwin! He's missing! He said he wanted to go swimming near the lake and I can't find him! 

Sasha: gasps That's not good. Shanir! He have to find him, now! 

Shanir: Stay right here you guys, we'll find him. rushes off to find the Dwebble 

Shanir and Sasha comb the beach searching for the Dwebble, before hearing a cry not far away. They rush over and find exactly who they're looking for. Shimmer, as she strangles the Dwebble 

Shanir: HEY! Let him go! 

Sasha: Put him down this instant Shimmer! 

Shimmer: still wrapping her vines around the Dwebble Well, look who it is. It's been a while since we last met. So glad I get to see your faces another time. 

Shanir: Put, the Dwebble, down. 

Shimmer: smirks As you wish. squeezes tightly, before dropping the Dwebble on the ground 

Sasha: NO! 

Shimmer: And just like that, the last member falls. Now it's time for the main course. 

Shanir: Why are you doing this!? What did we ever do to hurt you!? 

Shimmer: It's not just you I'm angry at, it's the whole world I'm angry at for ignoring me, and robbing me of my happiness! And in what way can you chastise me when you got to mooch off the glory of those others, and did nothing special at all. You, that Samurott that took my life, and you Sasha. You don't deserve to have that fame. 

Sasha: I didn't make that choice because I wanted to abandon you, I did it because you were abandoning us. You changed the moment you met Ghetsis, Shantae and I both knew that you weren't the same Snivy anymore. What did he do to you? 

Shimmer: Nothing. Instead, he gave me everything I ever wanted, to make me feel like I mattered in this world, to put my skills to the betterment of Pokemon. And for the first time in my life, I felt like I was finally given the respect I so rightfully deserved. But you just had to take all of that away from me. And now, I'm going to end the lives of you and your friends, once and for all! 

Shanir: And how do you plan on doing that? 

Shimmer: chuckles to herself I've got a friend waiting to see you guys again. I'll be waiting in the Great Chasm, where you will all join me in your final resting place. See you real soon. vanishes 

Sasha: looks down We were too late. We failed the Crustles. We... 

suddenly, the Dwebble begins twitching and slowly opens it's eyes 

Darwin: I-Is she gone? 

Shanir: You're alive? How? 

Darwin: S-Sturdy. Knocked me within an inch of my life. But I'm ok. 

Sasha: Come on, let's get you back to your mom. picks up the Dwebble 

meanwhile in Icirrus City 

Pignati: Sweet, Reshiram is on our side. 

McFly: Talk about a mighty fine dragon if I do say so myself. 

Aidan: He's alright, but we all know who the real best dragon is. 

Jade: Aw, Aidan. 

Harmony: He does have a point as this Reshiram is rather pathetic in terms of IVs. 

Lasagna: Who would have thought. 

Pignati: gets a call from Shanir Hello? 

Shanir: Pignati. You guys still in Icirrus City? 

Ontario: Yup. But we're heading for the Great Chasm to catch Kyurem. 

Sasha: NO! That's a horrible idea! 

Shantae: Why? 

Shanir: Shimmer is there. And it sounds like she's going to use Kyurem against you guys. 

Aidan: So what, we've dealt with Kyurem before, we'll do it again. 

Pignati: Besides, we can't just idle around knowing that Shimmer's going to strike back at us at some point. We need to put a stop to her right here and now. 

Harmony: But how do we plan on taking down a Ghost-Type Pokemon, as they are unable to die a second time. 

McFly: I have no idea, but we'll figure it out. 

Shanir: If you say so, we'll meet you at the entrance to the Great Chasm. See you there. hangs up 

Jade: Alright guys, let's do this. 

Lasagna: Time to face the music and take down Shimmer for good. 

Ontario: I don't know guys. Something tells me it'll take a lot more to stop her. 

Shantae: More power or more time? 

Ontario: No clue.
