A Tepig's Tale

Episode 85

In the Underground Ruins 

Ontario: Woah, these ruins look epic. 

Aidan: Who knows how long this thing has been hidden underground and undiscovered for? 

Jade: I know right, that's so cool! 

 Lasagna: And here we are uncovering the truth together. 

Harmony: Indeed. These ruins bring back memories when they were first constructed so long ago. 

Ontario: Wow. 

McFly: Alright guys, I did it. I submitted the apology video to the news team, so now let's see if my career survives or not. 

Jade: Do we want to make bets? 

McFly: How about no. 

news broadcast comes through on the Xtransceiver 

Reporter: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, today we have some breaking news coming from within Pokestar Studios. Recently, we had heard rumblings about a certain business going on regarding their movies, and after combing through all the data, we now have a definitive answer at last. Local celebrity Pokemon McFly... 

McFly: Here it comes... 

suddenly, the reporter gets cut off before he can finish 

Reporter: .. Huh? What? Oh, um. I've just received word of a new announcement from Pokestar Studio's lead director. The hit movie Electivire is getting a sequel produced called Electivire 2; Electric Boogaloo! 

All the members watching: WHAT!?!! 

Reporter: And the studio wants McFly to be the main character of the new movie! Well screw whatever that other story was about, Electivire 2 is coming soon everyone! The studio says to expect a trailer sometime next year. Till next time. cuts to commercial 

everyone looks at McFly 

McFly: Well would you look at that, my career is saved. And I didn't even have to do anything. 

Aidan: ... Well you know what, I'm glad your reputation was saved. Would hate for a Pokemon Champion to be outed with a scandal like that. 

Harmony: Indeed. This is certainly a great outcome. 

McFly: You said it guys, puts on shades You said it. teeth shine 

Ontario: Hey Pignati! Did you hear the news!? McFly's not a criminal! 

Pignati: ... hears Ontario Oh, um. Yeah, that's great. 

Ontario: walks over to Pignati Everything ok? 

Pignati: Yeah, I promise. I'm all good. 

Ontario: Alright. I do kind of wish Shanir and Sasha were here with us. How is Shanir by the way? 

Pignati: She's doing good, just preparing to, well you know... 

Ontario: ... I see. ... You know, I feel bad for her. 

Pignati: For Shimmer? 

Ontario: Yeah. I know that sounds wrong to say since she mind-controlled me, but, I can't help but feel sympathy for her. She just, wanted to be seen and not ignored by everyone. But she just, ended up with the wrong people. What do you think? 

Pignati: ... I think you make a good point. But that's just how I feel. looks up at the others I just don't know how they feel about it. 

Ontario: Well Aidan and Lasagna probably don't care about her, seeing as Team Plasma used their friends and family against their own free will. McFly, Jade, and Harmony though, I'm not sure. I just don't want this dilemma to get between us honestly. Less we think about it, the better, right? 

Pignati: True, yeah. But when does it become too hard to ignore? 

Ontario: We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. 

Pignati: Alright. Let's meet up with the others now. walks with Ontario back to the group 

meanwhile, Sasha strolls through Driftveil City at night thinking to herself. Then, all of a sudden, echoing voices flow throughout the cold winter night 

Sasha: W-Wha... What was that? 

Mysterious voices: Find Herrrrrrrr..... Find Herrrrrrr...... 

Sasha: Who, find who? Who is she....? 

Mysterious voices: You knowwwwwwww....... 

Sasha: ... Shimmer. 

Mysterious voices: Giant Chasmmmmmmmm...... Find the keyyyyyyyyyyyyy....... 

Sasha: Giant Chasm. What could even be in there? Ok. Whoever you are, I'm going. 

Mysterious voices: reveal themselves as the lost souls of the Pokemon Shimmer killed Save her soul, and free oursssssssss. vanish into thin air 

Sasha: ... Ok. I promise. slithers off to the Giant Chasm
