Poképals Journeys S1 E1: The Start of a New Series

**The Start of a New Series** is an unreleased episode of Poképals Journeys. The episode first started production on July 12, 2021, but then stopped on June 22, 2022. The episode is back in production since August 2, 2023. This episode will air on YouTube as one of the four pilot episodes, as in looking back at the past (2021/22) before the rest of the season showcases present day events.

## Why It Shut Down For a Year

11 months after production first started, it was shut down due to slacking of the episode and had constant minimal progress. This shut down took 13 months to register before Isaiah found the saved scene clip videos on FlipaClip. He got back into production with the episode, but since then it still barely makes progress because of its competition with BFDI Cringe. Isaiah revamped the script since some parts of the episode were forgotten or lost, so the episode may have a different ending instead. This episode as one of the first for episodes will act as pilot episodes to look back at the past before entering the current events, seeing what the Poképals were before and after the pilot episodes.

# Script

Isaiah has allowed full access to look through this episodes current progress for the script. It isn't complete yet, but you may read through it until you get to the part where it is incomplete. I hope you enjoy the script.

## Teaser

Isaiah appears out of nowhere, turning the screen orange from white when saying "I'm ready!" confidently.

A door appears with an invisible barrier or wall that swings open, making Vulpix jump out of the door and grapple onto Isaiah. They chuckle.

Isaiah: You know, Vulpix, you're really fun!

Vulpix grins.

Vulpix: Yeah, I am!

Then frowns.

Vulpix: Is that okay?

Isaiah was reassuring.

Isaiah: Of course! There's always a reason to why your my favourite Pokemon!

Vulpix: Aww, thanks!

She then hugged Isaiah

Intro plays

## Isaiah Gets a Call From His Dad

The camera pans distantly from Isaiah's house. It switches to focus on the door Isaiah opens. He then gets a call on his iPad from his dad. He answers it.

Isaiah: Hello?

Dad: Hey, kiddo! What're you up to today?

Isaiah: Oh, nothing much, just ready to start my adventure here!

Isaiah pumps up his fist after saying "adventure".

Isaiah: Wanna join me?

Dad smirked.

Dad: I'd love to, son...

Then gave an uncompromising frown.

Dad: But unfortunately I have to head to the market.

The scene shows Isaiah while Dad talks.

Dad: We can walk together if you care to join me.

Isaiah got starstruck and answered with full passion.

Isaiah: All right, sounds good!

Dad smiled again.

Dad: Okay! Then gather up your pals and we can head on out!

Isaiah: Sure thing, Dad. I'll let my team know what's happening and see if they can come join you.

Then Isaiah remembered that his dad may forget his partner Rocco the Shiny Umbreon.

Isaiah: Don't forget about Rocco though, alright?

Dad: I may be forgetful sometimes, but I'll never forget my bestest buddy!

His Umbreon chirps.

Rocco: Umbri!

Dad: Okay, on to the market!

Dad pumps his first after saying "okay".

Isaiah: See ya!

He hung up and Vulpix looked up at him.

Vulpix: Yayah?

Vulpix calls Isaiah "Yayah" because she believes it's easier to say his name that way. Isaiah noticed her.

Isaiah: Oh, Vulpix!

Vulpix gave Isaiah cute bulging eyes while he kneels down toward her.

Isaiah: Wanna come with me and Dad for a walk to the market?

Vulpix: Sure!

Then she squealed in a high-pitch tone. Eevee walked outside meeting Isaiah and Vulpix and spoke up. Isaiah then noticed Eevee and turns his head toward her.

Isaiah: You can come along, too!

Eevee was excited and chirped happily.

## The Walk to the Market with Isaiah and Dad

The scene fast forwards 5 minutes before Isaiah, Vulpix and Eevee arrive at the area Dad and Rocco were. Eevee greeted Rocco, while Dad was happy to see his son.

Dad: Hey kiddo!

Isaiah: Hey Dad!

Then he put his fingers in a shape of an L and placed it on his chin.

Isaiah: So, how long is the walk to the market?

Dad somewhat shrugged.

Dad: Long enough to have a decent conversation, I believe. Either way, it's not far.

Isaiah then gave a thumbs up in reassurance while Vulpix runs past him quickly.

Isaiah: Okay, I can handle that.

Vulpix dashes toward Rocco and cuddles him, making him flustered and blush. Isaiah and Dad chuckled.

Dad: Don't worry Rocco! This is my son's best bud!

Vulpix then let go of Rocco and held her arm straight, smiling in weary.

Vulpix: Hey Rocco, I'm able to talk...

Without warning, Rocco was frightened, and ran quickly to hide behind Isaiah, afraid of Vulpix as he went down in a laying positon, sweating dripping down his fur. Isaiah had a questionable expression.

Isaiah: Uhm...I forgot to remind him that!

Isaiah awkwardly laughed.

Dad turned to him.

Dad: Don't worry, Isaiah, he'll chill out after a while.

Rocco still whimpered, shaking in misery. Eevee walks over to Rocco and pets him to calm him down, chirping calmly. Rocco was slightly confused. Isaiah reacts to the moment.

Isaiah: Oh, that's cute!

## Where is the Way Home?I

The scene fast forwards again and they arrive at the market. Dad turns to Isaiah, smiling, but disappointed they have to separate.

Dad: Well, son, we're here, so I guess you'll have to be on your own.

Isaiah frowned.

Isaiah: Yeah, but I'm sure I'll be fine.

Dad put his hand on Isaiah's right shoulder.

Dad: I'm sure you will. Go have fun. Start your journey, and make me proud.

Isaiah put the side of his clenched hand onto his heart with a passionate and trustworthy expression.

Isaiah: I sure will!

Dad waves goodbye as he enters the doors of the market. Seeing Dad's truck from far away, it was blurry. However, Isaiah realized something had happened. He paused, then spoke up.

Isaiah: Wait...

Then he panicked.

Isaiah: Wait!!

Thrusting his arms into the air while looking up into the sky, Isaiah burst out a scream of agony.

Isaiah: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET BACK NOW?!

Isaiah thought he was hopeless and sighed until Espeon suddenly grabbed his arms.

Espeon: Isaiah...?

Espeon's arrival terrified Isaiah, surprising her also. Then she repeated what she tried to say before getting interrupted.

Espeon: Isaiah, listen, someone will take you back home.

Eventually, Isaiah stopped worrying and looked at Espeon, confused.

Isaiah: How'd you find me?

Espeon: I can find scents!

She points to her nose when responding, then puts it down.

Espeon: Don't you remember that?

Isaiah gave an unappealing answer.

Isaiah: No...

Espeon: Well at least you know now.

As Espeon's tail swayed back and forth, Isaiah was unpleasant.

Isaiah: Yeah...I guess...

## The Ride Back Home

Then a vehicle pulls in, with Leafeon inside. He met eyes with Isaiah, knowing he needed a trip back home.

Leafeon: Hey Isaiah! Hitch a ride?

He poked his head out as Isaiah got starstruck again.

Isaiah: I still can't believe how cool that looks!

Isaiah pumps his fist on "cool that looks" while Espeon gazes in amazement.

Leafeon lifted his fist up when responding, turning his head while his ears shake slightly.

Leafeon: I know! It's one of the coolest convertibles you'll ever see!

Isaiah was astonished.

Isaiah: When I show Mom this vehicle, she's gonna be shocked!

Isaiah and Espeon chuckle a little bit.

Espeon: Yeah, she would!

Isaiah walks up and opens the door quickly, saying "Ha!" but then stopped. Leafeon thought he was acting in his prime and thought something was happening. Isaiah backed away from the door, concerned. Epson walks by him as he's speaking.

Isaiah: I feel like we're forgetting something.

Isaiah states at the vehicle while Leafeon gets in. Espeon closes her door, and Isaiah crosses his arms, smiling.

Isaiah: Nah, there's nothing!

Isaiah and Leafeon laugh for a while before closing their doors. Leafeon takes the wheel and he drives it in the direction back to their house, fading the scene to black.
