A Tepig's Tale

Episode 97

On Route 18 

Pignati: Looks like we've taken a detour onto Route 18. 

McFly: Is that a bad thing or not? 

Aidan: Well it means we won't reach Nuvema Town by a couple of days. 

Jade: I'd say at most we'd be there within 2 days. 

Harmony: That is a very possible likelihood of getting to Nuvema Town. 

Lasagna: Well in any case, let's just get this route taken care of so we can finally make it to N. If he's even still there when we get back on track. 

Harmony: He should still be there. I am certain. 

Ontario: Let's hope so. 

Pignati: Everything's going alright with Shimmer right now? 

Ontario: Seems like it yeah. Shanir's been talking to her and the others, and it seems like they're being friendly. 

Aidan: I mean, there's really no better position to be in right now. 

Jade: I just hope Shimmer's not too upset about this detour. 

Shimmer: This was a mistake. Why can't we just go to Nuvema Town now? 

Shanir: Trust me, you and I know exactly why you can't go right now. 

Shimmer: I know, but... 

Shantae: He'll be there, I promise. 

Sasha: Just gotta hold out for a little bit longer. 

Shanir: Tell me, what do plan on saying to N when we find him? 

Shimmer: Well, I want him to read my thoughts, figure out what's going on in my head. Every time I try and think about the past, it's just all cloudy and fills my head with pain. 

Shantae: So those times where you looked like you were in a trance and then pain soon after, was that like, old memories coming through? 

Shimmer: Yeah, kinda. Just, out of nowhere, I've had these flashes back to my past when I was just a Snivy with you guys. But I don't know why or where they came from? I never had these happen when I was with Team Plasma or in the Giant Chasm, so what's going on? 

Sasha: I'm not sure, but I just know N can figure this out for you. 

Shimmer: ... sure. And then after I finally know, what do I do now? 

Shantae: Well, we'll figure that out together. 

Sasha: Yeah. Together. 

Shanir: Trust me Shimmer, you don't know how much your family truly cares for you, when one or all of them are taken away from you. And when everything was settled, I was happy to call Ontario my brother. And I hope that when this is over, you can call these two your sisters again. 

Shimmer: ... You know you don't have to be this nice to me. ... But thank you. 

Shanir: Of course. 

Sasha: Hang in there guys, just a little bit waiting till we make it to N. takes out Ghetsis' cane And soon we'll have all the answers we're looking for. 

Shimmer: Yeah... looks at the cane Answers... more flashes course through her mind before looking away 

Sasha: Ah! puts the cane away Sorry! 

Shantae: You alright?

Shimmer: Y-Yeah. I-I'm, fine. It's just, that cane...
