A Tepig's Tale

Episode 87

At the top of Dragonspiral Tower 

Jade: Feels kind of nice to be back in Dragonspiral Tower honestly. 

Harmony: The resting spot of the legendary Pokemon itself, now within our possession. 

McFly: Kind of messed up don't you think? 

Aidan: I'm sure they're fine with it. Better than being with Team Plasma that's for sure. 

Lasagna: You said it Aidan. Any place is better than with them, even if they're gone now. 

Ontario: Hey, um, guys? 

McFly: What is it Ontario? 

Ontario: Do you guys think that bad guys and Pokemon deserve to be redeemed? 

Lasagna: Huh. That's a tough question honestly. 

McFly: I guess it depends on the acts they did, if they did it of their own volition, and if they feel any sort of remorse for their actions. Least that's what I think. 

Harmony: Judging the fate of an individual is something most people tend to avoid, but in times when decisions must be made, the right answer may not be as clear cut as you might think. 

Jade: Different people are different people with different ideals and truths. It really isn't all black and white. 

Aidan: Besides Ghetsis. It's all black for him. That guy deserves no form of redemption. At all. 

Pignati: And what would you say about the Pokemon he used? Do they deserve to be punished as well? 

Harmony: It was very clear to me in battle that Ghetsis' Pokemon were not happy in the possession of Ghetsis, almost as if they were forced against their will to battle us. 

McFly: So are they innocent, or not? 

Lasagna: If I may ask, why bring this up Ontario and Pignati? 

Ontario: ... Not sure. I was just looking out at the clouds, thinking about the adventure we went on, and it just crossed my mind is all. 

Pignati: I mean, we now know Ghetsis didn't care about anyone in Team Plasma and was just using them to get to Kyurem to rule the world by himself. Ghetsis knew all along that he was on top, but the grunts that continued to follow him, did they ever doubt what Ghetsis was doing? 

Jade: The mind of a criminal is honestly really complicated, so I guess we'll never truly know. 

Pignati: ... Hey, looks like Blaise is about to head out. Let's go. 

Harmony: Agreed. 

the gang starts to head out, but Harmony gets close to Pignati and whispers to him 

Harmony: You and Ontario had someone in mind when you spoke. A certain Pokemon you believe deserves a second chance, correct? 

Pignati: Let's save this for another time. Somewhere more private, ok? 

Harmony: Alright. 

meanwhile somewhere in Unova 

Shimmer: So, tell me Shantae. How do you expect to help me? 

Shantae: I'm not totally sure. But I feel like if I can find someone to communicate with you, then I could figure out what happened when we were in Team Plasma. 

Shimmer: Then tell me, who in their right mind would ever want to talk to me? 

Shantae: ... One guy. N. I heard that he can talk to Pokemon and know how they feel. If we can find him, he could be the key to finding your true happiness. Only question is, where in Unova can he be? 

Shimmer: Well scanning the entire land is near impossible, especially with Shanir out to get me. We just need to track him down somehow. 

Shantae: realization hits That's it! Adam and Ava! 

Shimmer: Who? 

Shantae: The Umbreons! They could track down N. 

Shimmer: And what makes you think they'll help us? 

Shantae: I don't know, but we have to try. Please? 

Shimmer: ... Ok. Let's go. 

Shantae: They should be in Castelia Park. Hurry! rushes off 

Shimmer follows behind, but gets another flashback to when Team Plasma raided the starter center and found the three sisters. The three fought back and had one of the grunts tied up and used him as leverage 

Grunt: Easy now, let's not be hostile now. 

Shimmer: Then what's in it for us? 

Sasha: Who are you!? 

Grunt: Neo Team Plasma. Risen from the ashes of Team Plasma under Lord Ghetsis. 

Shimmer: T-Team Plasma? 

Grunt: You three seem pretty capable. Tell you what, you let our guy free, wrangle up some of the straggler Pokemon around here, and we might offer you a position in our ranks. 

Shantae: You want us to, join you? 

Grunt: Why not. You can help us liberate Pokemon in the process, and when we win, you can go and live free in the wilderness away from humans. What do you say? 

Shimmer: What do you guys think? 

Shantae: If you're in, so am I. 

Sasha: Me too. 

Shimmer: Well then, lets go of the grunt You have yourself a deal. 

flashes back to the present, Shimmer comes to, and rushes along to catch up with Shantae 

Shimmer: Why does this keep happening?
