A Tepig's Tale

Episode 92

On Route 3 

Pignati: Hey guys. How was the cave expedition? 

Jade: It was awesome! You should have been there to see it. 

Lasagna: Yeah. I swept through 5/6 Pokemon a veteran had thanks to Shell Smash strats. 

McFly: Sure wish I saw the end of that. 

Aidan: It was pretty cool I'll give you that. 

Harmony: Indeed it was. What have you and Ontario been doing while we were gone? 

Ontario: Just looking after this egg. Taking it on walks to see if it'll hatch soon. 

McFly: What do you think it is? 

Aidan: No idea honestly. 

Jade: Wanna make any bets on it? 

Pignati: Nah, I'm not really feeling like bets on the species. But maybe we could try thinking of names for when it hatches. 

Lasagna: That sounds fun. Now do you think it's a boy or a girl? 

Jade: Let's say both a girl and boy name together. I'll start. For a boy, James. For a girl, Emerichi/Emily. 

Aidan: I wonder where you got those names. Whatever, I'll go next. Joe for a boy, Francine for a girl. 

McFly: Jennifer for a girl, Emmet for a boy. 

Lasagna: Tori for a girl, Revali for a boy. 

Harmony: Tonya for a girl, Beethoven for a boy. 

Pignati: Ashe for a boy, Collette for a girl. 

Ontario: ... Calllie for a girl, Hamilton for a boy. 

Pignati: Alright, that's all our guesses in. What do you think the creature will be called? 

Harmony: Either none of our guesses are correct as Blaise will name it, or not give it a name at all since that is a possibility. 

Jade: But hey, this was fun none the less. 

McFly: Beats having to think about Shimmer and Shantae coming after us, possibly. 

Aidan: Oh believe me. The way Shanir was acting makes me think they were eavesdropping and want to find our location.

Lasagna: More specifically Harmony since she says she could find N, right? 

Harmony: Indeed. 

Ontario: But, would you tell them, truthfully? 

Harmony: ... 

Aidan: Look, if I was you, I wouldn't say a single word. 

Lasagna: You'd just be allowing them to find N and possibly kill him for revenge or something like that. 

McFly: They do have a point you know. 

Jade: Yeah, hard to deny that honestly. 

Pignati: ... Guys, let's not focus on this right now. We just said we didn't want to think about that right? 

Ontario: So come on, let's head for the Daycare now. 

McFly: Sounds good. Let's go. heads off with some of the others 

Harmony: says to Pignati This feeling I am sensing. One of dread, and one of mystery is brewing. If and when Shimmer catches up to us, I fear we will all be on different sides. 

Pignati: And what side are you on? 

Harmony: ... The one that is best for us, and all of Unova. But we will just have to wait until that moment arrives. 

Ontario: I know. I just hope it doesn't arrive.the rest of them catch back up with the others 

meanwhile somewhere in Unova, multiple events transpire. Shanir leaves Castelia Park and hurries to catch up to the group, Sasha continues her trek to catch up as well, and Shimmer and Shantae begin to approach the group's location 

Shantae: They shouldn't be much further out. I can feel their presences nearby. 

Shimmer: That's good. Just a little more to go, until we face the music. Either together, or alone. 

Shantae: It's going to work. I promise. 

Shimmer: ... has another flashback to where after first meeting Pignati and the group in Virbank City, the trio were called back saying Ghetsis wanted to speak to Shimmer. Shimmer was hesitant at first, but Shantae encouraged her to go speak with him. Shimmer goes to Ghetsis' space on Team Plasma's HQ, before cutting back to the present ... 

Shantae: Everything alright? 

Shimmer: ... Just, bad memories popping up. I'm alright now. Let's just keep going. 

Shantae: Alright. Here we go. heads out with Shimmer to find the group
