A Tepig's Tale

Episode 93

In Striaton City 

Aidan: Well that was a colossal waste of time. 

McFly: What? Flying all the way back to Aspertia City to beat up some very low leveled Pokemon all so Jade can get to Level 70? 

Aidan: Exactly. A waste, of time. 

Pignati: Hey, cut her some slack, ok. It's a big moment. 

Ontario: Or I guess, second best moment after giving birth to over a dozen Trapinchs? 

Aidan: Oh yeah. Don't think I forgot about that Lasagna. 

Lasagna: Hey, listen man, it wasn't what you think. Jade and I are both Bug-Type Pokemon, we were compatible for breeding, and well, I mean, well, you see, It's Blaise's fault! She forced us to do it! 

Jade: Boys please, it's alright. Aidan's still my boyfriend, and that won't change. 

Ontario: So does that make Lasagna your, 'friend with benefits'? 

Jade and Lasagna: embarrassed Where did you learn that from? 

Aidan: Let me guess. Harmony? 

Harmony: Indeed. I knew from the beginning Jade and Lasagna were compatible, and I look forward to see how their children will do in the hands of new trainers. 

Pignati: Oh Arceus, can this day get any worse? 

suddenly, sounds of fighting appear from within the City. The group rushes in to find to their horror and shock Shimmer, Shantae, Sasha, and Shanir all meeting up and facing each other in a circle 

Shanir: Found you, at last. 

Shantae: Listen, we're not here to do any harm. We're just looking for Harmony. 

Shimmer: By her logic, she and the others should be here by now. So where are they? 

Shanir: I have no clue, and that doesn't matter. reaches and pulls out several Pokeballs Time to end this once and for all. 

Sasha: still holding Ghetsis' cane You're, really serious about this. 

Shanir: Are you saying you're on her side? 

Sasha: All I'm saying is I want a form of resolution with her before she's disposed of. And this cane apparently holds the answers to all of that. 

Shantae: And if we find the location of N, then we can finally get to the root of what's going on. 

Shimmer: Even after every loss I've taken over my life, you still want to keep ripping those chances away from me? I may be a bad Pokemon, but believe me, you're no saint either. 

Shanir: furious I'm nothing like you, you heartless monster. If you even had one to begin with. 

Pignati: Well maybe she did! 

everyone turns in shock as Pignati and the others reveal themselves. Pignati then walks into the circle 

Pignati: How do you know, Shanir. Were you there throughout her entire life to see all the hardships she faced, even before meeting Team Plasma. Sure, you didn't tell us much of your past, but seem to have been in Shimmer's spot as well. Wanting to find a home but being rejected at every turn. So you fled, alongside Ontario and tagged along with us. In turn giving you a surrogate family, with no true trainer. Maybe you're ok with that life, or maybe not. But that doesn't give you the right to deny any other Pokemon how they choose their destiny. 

McFly: Pignati? What are you saying? 

Aidan: Don't tell me you, agree with her? 

Pignati: Partially. Yes, I know she's done horrible things to Unova, but there is a method to madness. No one is truly born evil, it's brought out from exterior sources of evil to manipulate you. We all know that Ghetsis never cared about any of his team, all he cared for was exploiting their emotions to get what he wanted. And I believe the same happened for Shimmer, Shantae, and Sasha. 

Jade: You can't be serious, right? 

Lasagna: She stole Pokemon from their homes and used them against us! 

Ontario: But on the orders of Ghetsis, is that right? I might not remember much of my time being mind-controlled by Team Plasma, but I know Ghetsis was said to call all the shots, and if ordered weren't fulfilled, he'd be very mad and want any slackers gone. Am I remembering that right? 

Shimmer: ... Yeah. Ghetsis told us orders, and we did them as to not disappoint him. 

Shanir: Even still, following orders from a bad guy makes you an accomplice to crimes against Unova. Acts that should be properly punished for. 

Harmony: So then is it truly fair Ghetsis got to walk away with no consequences? 

Shanir: ... 

Harmony: There exists a fine line between the world of black and white, the conflicts between truths and ideals. And for as much knowledge as I have learned throughout my lifetime, I could never truly comprehend the thoughts people have within their minds. As far as I am aware, there is no right or wrong answer to this situation we have in front of us. One side seeks the truth even if their intentions are black, and the other side stand by their ideals to serve justice in white. I do not wish for us to clash against one another over our disagreements over the life of a stranger, so I implore all of us to come to an arrangement however we can. 

McFly: ... Arrangement. I think I get it. 

Sasha: Well that's good... 

McFly: punches Harmony with lightning knocking her back By arranging your minds to make sense! 

Shanir: Guys, get me an opening to catch her! readies her aim with McFly, Aidan, Jade, and Lasagna by her side 

Pignati: Fine, I see how it is. readies his fists with Ontario, Shantae, Sasha, and Harmony by his side Shimmer, stay back. We'll handle this. Oh, and try not to hurt them. They're still our friends. 

Harmony: Of course. 

both sides stand against each other ready for battle
