A Tepig's Tale

Episode 103

After defeating the Elite 4 and Champion once more 

Blaise, Pignati, and the others walk down the giant staircase celebrating their victory once again 

Pignati: I gotta say, even though we won once before, this is still an incredible moment. 

McFly: You said it man. It sure was heavy, but oh so satisfying. 

Lasagna: Hey, we all did excellent out there. Every last one of us. 

Harmony: It was through our bonds that we were able to overcome all the obstacles that stood in our path. This is a most joyous event for us once more. 

Jade: Couldn't have said it better myself Harmony. And oh yeah, you were awesome out there Aidan, taking down Haxorus. 

Aidan: Why thank you. Goes to show that nothing can stand in my way. 

Pignati: sighs So, what's next? 

Ontario: Guys! 

Pignati and the others look down and spot Ontario, Shanir, Shimmer, Shantae, and Sasha rush up to them 

Ontario: Congrats on another victory! 

McFly: Thanks Ontario. And also, you guys as well? 

Sasha: Sorry we couldn't be there for the finale, but with all due respect, there is actually a reason we wanted to see you guys. 

Iris: And what's that? 

Shauntal: I believe I know the reason. Shimmer? 

Shimmer: approaches Shauntal Yes? 

Shauntal: It is good to finally see you. I had wanted to read your thoughts since you entered the spirit realm, but they were clouded in a deep darkness. But, now I could see clearly in your mind after Ghetsis' cane was destroyed. And now that I could read your thoughts, I was hit with a wave of sadness and anguish you have sustained throughout your life. 

Shantae: Ontario told us to come here because he said you could help us. You can help us, right? 

Shauntal: That depends. It depends on whether your friend believes she deserves redemption in the eyes of Arceus. 

Shanir: Well Shimmer, what do you think? 

Shimmer: What do I think? With my own truths and ideals freely open to me after they were twisted by Ghetsis. I know exactly how I feel right now. And I couldn't be happier about it now. Yes. I wish to seek retribution and pray to Arceus that he will allow my weary soul to rest in peace. 

Shauntal: Ok then. I ask you to meet me at the top of Celestial Tower. If all is well, you will find your happiness you sought since the beginning. 

Shimmer: ... Thank you. 

Shanir: Welp, I guess that's our next stop. 

Shantae: Same. 

Sasha: Indeed. 

Ontario: Take me along too. 

Shanir: You sure Ontario? 

Ontario: You know what they say, the more the merrier. 

Pignati: Alright then. Then I guess, this is goodbye. 

Shimmer: Yeah... Goodbye. 

Harmony: Even if the world doesn't remember who you are, the people and Pokémon on this earth who do will hold you in their hearts. 

Lasagna: And sure, maybe we're wrong for wanting to remember someone like you. But we have a choice as to what we should remember and forget. 

Aidan: As long as we think that remembering you allows your soul the resolution it deserves, I'm fine with that. 

Jade: Same here. 

McFly: salutes 

Shimmer: smiles and begins to tear up, before Shantae wipes the tears away 

Shantae: Come on, let's go. 

both parties diverge on their separate journeys
