A Tepig's Tale

Episode 95

In Striaton City 

Ontario, Shanir, Shimmer, Shantae, and Sasha stand/float around not saying a word as the rest of the group explores the Dreamyard 

Ontario: ... 

Shanir: looks at Ontario Hey, want to talk? 

Ontario: ... Fine. I honestly can't be mad at you. 

Shanir: ... You know, I'm proud of you. 

Ontario: Really? 

Shanir: Taking action for yourself and standing for what you believed, I commend you for that. You've certainly grown up a lot since we first met. 

Ontario: Yeah, I guess I have. 

Sasha: Hey Shanir? 

Shanir: Yeah? What is it? 

Sasha: Ontario told me a few things about you when he ran away that time. Like how you were rejected numerous times before deciding to leave. What made you want to do that? 

Shanir: Well, I guess, I couldn't handle it anymore. I was sick of being trapped in those walls and wanted to be free. So, when I saw Bianca heading out with a set of Pokemon for Blaise, I snuck out and followed her from afar. Ontario obviously followed me as well, something I wasn't too thrilled with, but I warmed up to having him with me the more time went on. 

Shantae: You thought of him as your brother, right? 

Shanir: Not at first. I told myself I was his guardian and nothing more. But like I said, as more time went on, I finally warmed up to calling him my brother. 

Ontario: And I'm glad I got to have this familiar connection with you, at a time where no one wanted to be my friend just because I was 'different'. Shanir was the one Pokemon I could turn to no matter what. 

Shimmer: ... Almost, like what we had together. Three Snivys nobody wanted starting our own family together. If the world didn't want us, we'd still have each other no matter what. 

Sasha: Yeah. ... Until things turned soured. 

Shantae: Even though we were there with you, I still want to know what happened to change who you were. 

Shimmer: I just hope that there is hope for me and that I'm not just screwed for eternity. 

Sasha: Well there has to be something. And this cane of Ghetsis' apparently is the key to finding that out. 

Shimmer: That, cane... looks into the eyes of the cane. Several waves of pain flash through her mind before looking away 

Shantae: You ok? 

Shimmer: ... I'm, fine. Just, don't show me that cane, please. 

Sasha: O-Of course. puts the cane away 

Shanir: Where are those guys? 

Ontario: looks around and spots them There they are! 

Pignati and the others walk over to the group 

Pignati: Hey guys. Everything alright? 

Sasha: Yeah, we're good? You guys? 

Aidan: Better, to say the least. 

McFly: We had a lot of time to think about our actions. 

Jade: And truthfully we all acted out of line. 

Lasagna: We just jumped to conclusions without really thinking first. 

Harmony: I am certain there was meaningful thoughts in our minds, but not enough time to process them in the moment. 

Pignati: But it's ok, we're all good now. 

Shanir: Alright then. So next up is Acculema Town, and then finally Nuvema Town. 

Shantae: Just a little bit further till we get to N. 

Shimmer: Let's just hope he's still there. 

Harmony: He is still within the vicinity. 

Pignati: That's good. Ok, let's go. 

Ontario: Together. 

the group heads out with the ultimate goal of finding N
