A Tepig's Tale

Episode 94

In Striaton City 

both opposing sides face one another defending their position 

Pignati: Listen, guys. I don't want to hurt you. I don't want this thing to tear us apart. Just, let your guard down, and let's talk this through. 

McFly: The only talking that'll be done is with our fists. 

Aidan: Now move aside so that ghostly snake can get what's coming to her. 

Sasha: That's not going to happen. I need to know the truth. 

Shantae: And we'll willing to do anything to find it. We need N. 

Jade: Well sorry to burst your bubble, but that ain't happening guys. 

Lasagna: shell smashes So I suggest moving out of the way before things get ugly. 

Harmony: There is no need for this level of violence. Surely there is another solution. 

Ontario: Shanir, please. Think about what you're doing. 

Shanir: I know what I'm doing. Serving proper justice to criminals like her. Now stand, down. 

Pignati: ... No. 

Aidan: ... So be it. uses Surf to drown out to others 

Ontario retaliates by using Ice Beam to freeze the water allowing Pignati to smash through it sending ice shards back at the others 

McFly: ATTACK! 

both sides engage in an all-out brawl with Pignati and McFly wrestling and throwing punches, Ontario fighting Shanir, Harmony fighting Jade, Sasha fighting Aidan, and Shantae fighting Lasagna 

Pignati: Think McFly! You really want to fight me!? You were the first friend we made on our journey! 

McFly: Trust me, I don't like this either! But you guys chose the wrong the side of the tracks! 

Shanir: Ontario! Step aside! You're no match for me! 

Ontario: Sorry Shanir, but you gave me a chance at a new life, I want to do the same for her! 

Shanir: She's a terrorist! 

Ontario: But she's also a Pokemon! 

Jade: Harmony! Stop fighting me! We'll supposed to be gal pals! 

Harmony: I am most sorry Jade, but my logic dictates that finding N for Shimmer will be the best course of action. 

Jade: Well I guess your logic is wrong! slashes at her 

Aidan: I beat you once before, I can do it again no problem! lunges at Sasha, but gets grabbed by her vines 

Sasha: Well maybe you should try picking on someone your own size now. I've grown a lot since last time. 

Aidan: Well then, bigger they are. Harder they fall! breaks free and lunges at Sasha's face 

Lasagna: I know you, I flung you around alongside my friends. Had I known you'd be dead soon after, I would have gone easier. 

Shantae: In some ways, I want to thank you for opening my eyes to our situation. Now I'm more determined than ever to help my sister! 

the battle continues on for minutes until both sides are exhausted 

Pignati: panting Had enough yet? 

Shanir: panting Not, even close. 

Ontario: Guys, this is going nowhere! Let's just stop and talk this out! 

McFly: Sure. Why not. Here's my first question, WHAT THE HECK IS THAT! punches Ontario into a building when his back was turned 

suddenly, Shanir's team manages to subdue Harmony, Sasha, and Pignati leaving just Shantae 

Shantae: guarding Shimmer from behind her Stay back, just let us go in peace! 

Lasagna: No way, not this time. 

Jade: You should have thought twice about messing with us. 

Aidan: Now you're going to pay for trying to resist. 

Shanir: pulls out several Pokeballs It's over, Shimmer. Shantae, move. 

Shantae: ... No. 

Aidan: Fine, we'll make you. prepares to attack alongside the others 

Shantae: shaking I... Said... begins glowing NOOOOOOO!!!!!! 

shining light appears blinding the group 

Shimmer: stunned S-Shantae? 

Shantae: evolves into a Mismagius and looks down at the others Leave, us, ALONE! shoots out several ghostly vines and wraps them around the five before slamming them into the ground 

Ontario: sees an opportunity and sticks his horn into the ground to freeze the area around them. McFly, Aidan, Jade, Lasagna, and Shanir become stuck in the ice unable to move That's enough. All of you. 

Shanir: stunned Ontario... 

Ontario: LISTEN! EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU! Is this really how you want this to go!? Pokemon League Champions torn apart all because a single Pokemon none of us really know! I know you guys are above this, and yet here you are ready to turn on each other just like that! Sure, maybe you're right to capture her and dispose of her, but you're also denying her a chance at life. To want her to suffer for eternity in a Pokeball till the end of time, that's something I would never want on my conscious. And yeah, maybe we're wrong for defending her. But let me remind you that you did the same thing when Sasha tried to join us and you shooed her off, all because she worked for Team Plasma. Face it, you guys might think you know these three, but we don't. Not even slightly. I want everyone Pokemon to have the chance to find their happiness, especially since I never thought I'd find it. And when I finally did, I couldn't have asked for a better family, than you guys. But if you're willing to throw all of that out for this, then maybe I was wrong. ... 

Shimmer: ... You, want to help me? 

Ontario: ... If it means finding your happiness, then absolutely. 

Shimmer: ... Thank you. 

Ontario: Harmony. Tell us all, where is N? 

Harmony: ... Nuvema Town. 

Sasha: That's not too far from here. 

Ontario: Thank you. Now listen here! All of us, are going to go to Nuvema Town. ALL OF US! I want no fighting, no arguments, no backstabbing, nothing! When we get to Nuvema Town and find N, then we will decide what to do. Understand! 

Everyone else: ... nods their head in agreement, with Shanir tossing her bag of Pokeballs on the ground 

Ontario: Good. Pignati, Harmony. Unthaw these guys from the ground. And you! looks at Shimmer and Shantae You better behave until we get to Nuvema Town, I don't want things to get ugly. 

Shantae: Of course. 

Shimmer: Nothing will happen. 

Ontario: Ok. Now then, let's go.with all the dust settled, the group comes to a truce and agrees to travel together to Nuvema Town to find N, on the condition that there must be eyes on Shimmer the whole time to keep things in order
