## Script

### Lair

#### Josephine's Room

Rusty: Jo-Jo! (runs to her room) I need your help!

Josephine: Eh? What do you want? I'm reading a comic here.

Rusty: We're going Pokemon hunting!

Josephine: Why?

Rusty: Because I want to catch a Pokemon! Any Pokemon as long as it's awesome and cool-looking!

Josephine: Okay! (stands up) I was getting bored anyway so this should be fun!

Rusty: Right! Let's get going!

### Outside

#### Rooftops

Karai: (panting) Phanteon, why did you save me back there?

Phanteon: Because I have promised Tang Shen not to let anyone hurt you.

Karai: My mother? How could you promise someone who's already- wait a minute.

Phanteon: We Phanteon can communicate the dead in the spirit world. I'm actually one of her Pokemon that has been scattered since her death. Now listen here, we have to lay low for a bit. If Shredder or anybody else find us we're dead for sure.

Karai: How are we gonna find the place to lay low?

Phanteon: Maybe at a friend's house perhaps.

Karai: A friend's house...

Phanteon: Precisely. Know anybody?

Karai: I may know one...

### Mikoto's House

[DING DONG]

Mikoto: (yawns) Coming... (opens door) Karai? How did you get here?

Karai: Long story. Listen, I need a place to stay. Shredder was gonna put me in a cage! I have to lay low for awhile until I make my next move. Can I stay here? I promise I won't be a burden.

Mikoto: Well alright. I have an extra room. You can crash there. Let me talk to my mom and dad if it's okay for you to stay.

Karai: Thank you. You're a life saver. (hugs her)

Mikoto: No problem. Just let me talk to my parents and see what they say.

Karai: Okay.

### Outside

#### Streets

Josephine: So what should we start first?

Rusty: Not sure. But we're gonna look everywhere for the perfect Pokemon!

Josephine: Uh huh.

Rusty: Let's check the alleyways. That always have a lot of Pokemon.

Josephine: Right! Let's go find some Pokemon!

### Lair

#### Dojo

April: (blocks) Donnie, are you supposed to train me?! (blocks) It feels like you're gonna kill me!

Donnie: In a fight the opponent will try to strike you hard. That's why you should always protect the most sensitive parts of your body. And besides, fights doesn't always have to be fair.

She jumps behind him and pounce him down from behind. Grabbing his arms behind his back as Donnie struggles to get her off of him.

April: Like that?

Donnie: Okay, you got me. (changes to his Fox Form) Not!

April: Huh? Hey, that's cheating!

Donnie: Like I say, not all fights have to be fair. You have to do anything to win. Even changing forms to escape from your enemies.

April: Uh-huh. Well maybe (takes out a piece of chocolate) you don't want a piece of chocolate right?

Donnie: Chocolate?! (shakes his head) I mean, no! I don't want it!

April: You sure, D? I got the spicy kind... I can see you shaking. I know you want it.

Donnie: I can't take it anymore! (runs and eats chocolate) Mm~! I'll never give up on spicy chocolate again! (changes to his Normal Form)

April: (thinking) He fall for it.

She pounces at him and lands on top of him.

April: That was a trap. (chuckles)

Donnie: What? A trap? Ah nuts...

April: Too bad. (licks his cheek)

Donnie: Huh?

April: That was a little something for my victory. (gets off of him)

Donnie: (sits up while blushing) You know this isn't a *real* fight right?

April: It felt like a real fight.

Jubei: That was a good strategy, April! (jumps down from the tree) To win a fight, you have to find their weakness and use it against them.

Koji: That was so cool!

April: Thanks, Koji. Thanks, Jubei. (giggles)

Donnie: (sighs)

### Outside

#### Alleyway

Rusty: No Pokemon here.

Josephine: Can we go home now? We've been looking for hours now.

Rusty: Not yet! We gotta find the perfect Pokemon!

Josephine: But how are we gonna find a Pokemon in the middle of the city?!

Totodile: Anything can happen in this city!

Flaralf: That's true...

Totodile: Besides, we aren't gonna run into our enemies!

Josephine: I hope not! (turns) What was that?

Rusty: What was what? A Pokemon?! (grabs her arm) Let's find that Pokemon!

Josephine: Huh?! (as he drags her arm) Let go of my arm!

#### Rooftops

Masaru: Hey look! Isn't that Jo and Rusty?!

Nagisa: Looks like it.

Kotoko: Ugh, not them!

Jataro: What should we do?

Masaru: As the leader, we should attack them head-on!

Nagisa: Are you crazy? They're training in Ninjutsu. We can't attack them if we're inexperienced.

Masaru: Who cares?! I can take them on!

Kotoko: I may suggest we should attack them using robots. That way neither of them won't ruin my cute face.

Masaru: That's even better! Grab your controllers 'cause it's robot time!

Trio: Right!

### Ice Cream Shop

Carrot (wearing a cloak): Mm~! Roxy, this ice cream is so delicious!

Roxanne: Glad you're enjoying it.

Carrot: Thanks for inviting me! I could really use some peace and quiet! (bites her ear)

Roxanne: (grunts) You're welcome. It's no problem at all. Now please stop biting my ear before people start staring.

Carrot: Okay... (lets go of her ear) I'm just so happy right now!

Roxanne: I can see that... (chuckles)

### Meanwhile

Josephine: I think it went in there!

Rusty: In that abandoned building? I don't know...

Josephine: Wha? Are you chicken or something?

Rusty: No way! I'm not chicken!

Flaralf: Prove it!

Rusty: Fine! I will prove I'm not scared!

Rusty: In that abandoned building? I don't know...

Josephine: Wha? Are you chicken or something?

Rusty: No way! I'm not chicken!

Flaralf: Prove it!

Rusty: Fine! I will prove I'm not scared!

Josephine: Go right ahead.

Totodile: We will!

They head inside the abandoned building.

Rusty: Well here goes nothing... (sighs)

### Lair

#### Donnie's Lab

Dani: You feeling okay, hon?

Casey: Yeah. My body's still sore...

Dani: Poor puppy... (scratches behind his ear) Let me make you feel better. (snaps her finger to change into a sexy nurse outfit) This outfit should do the trick.

Casey: (blushes) Wow, you look hot in that nurse outfit.

Dani: Why thank you. Call me Nurse Star. Tell me where it hurts.

Casey: All over my body, Nurse Star. Make me feel better.

Dani: Sure thing, my handsome patient. Let me take *good* care of you. (chuckles) I'll make you feel a lot better. All you have to do is just lay down and let me do the work.

Casey: Okay. (lies down) Do your stuff.

Dani: (chuckling) Okay, my little pup.

### Abandoned Building

Josephine: It sure is dark in here...

Rusty: Better be careful. You may not know if you're gonna step on.

Flaralf: Understood.

Totodile: Right!

As they look around

Josephine: (hears something) What was that?!

Rusty: A ghost or something?!

They hugged each other in fear as they heard the sound again.

Josephine: This is getting scary now!

Rusty: We should get outta here before the ghost catch us!

But when they run to the door it was locked.

Rusty: Locked?!

Josephine: We're trapped here!

Rusty: Oh great! This is your fault!

Josephine: MY fault?!

Rusty: You're the one who wants to come inside this building! And now, thanks to you, we're absolutely trapped in here with no way out!

Josephine: Don't start blaming me! I have nothing to do with this!

Flaralf: Jo-Jo, stop!

Totodile: Fighting isn't going to help us!

Rusty: (sighs) Fine... Let's not argue each other. We gotta find another way out.

Josephine: Try the windows then.

He tries to open the windows but nothing happen.

Rusty: Great... The window's locked.

Josephine: All of them... We're trapped for good. I have to call my siblings. I can't be stuck here forever.

Rusty: Calm down! We aren't gonna be stuck here forever! That would be ridiculous! Maybe we should head upstairs. That should have an exit so we can get out of this haunted building.

Josephine: I hope you're right about this... (sighs)

They went upstairs as a figure was spying on them.

Josephine: So creepy...

Rusty: And dark... (groans) I hate the dark...

Josephine: Me too... If only I brought a flashlight.

Rusty: I know that feeling... For now, we should stick together and hope for the best.

Josephine: Okay. Make sure you don't go too far.

Rusty: Already know! Don't worry so much!

[WHOOSH]

They shrieked in fear.

Josephine: I hate this! I just want to go home!

Rusty: Me too! I want my sisters! (crying)

Josephine: Huh? Rusty?

Saddened, she hugs him in comfort.

Josephine: It's gonna be okay. Don't cry... (strokes his head) Come on. I don't like it when people cry. It makes me so sad... (looks up while hugging Rusty) There must be a way out of here.

Suddenly, the roof crashed in as robots appear.

Rusty: Wha?!

Masara: You won't be going anywhere!

Josephine: Who are you?!

Nagisa: We are the Warriors of Hope.

Kotoko: Our job is to take care of all adults by eliminating them.

Jataro: Since you're kids you can join us in our goal of an adult-free world.

Rusty: No deal!

Josephine: No way! We won't let that happen!

Masara: You refused our offer?! Now that's rude!

Kotoko: Then we have no other choice but to punish you!

Josephine: Looks like we have to fight! (takes out Pokeball) Come on out, Flamer!

Chimchar: Chimchar!

Masara: A Pokemon battle?! Even better! Screw the robots! This is an even better idea then I ever expected! (takes out Pokeball) Let's do this!

Kotoko: Okay!

Everyone: Come on out!

Magby (Masara), Wooper (Nagisa), Togetic (Kotoko), and Mudbray (Jataro) appeared.

Masara: Time to attack them!

Trio: Right!

Josephine: Now this is bad!

### Lair

#### Underground Lair

Jonah: I'm worried about Jo. She should've been back hours ago.

Mao Yin: Hope nothing bad happens to her.

Ariel: That includes Rusty. Please be alright...

### Abandoned Building

Flaralf: Ow...

Chimchar: So strong...

Rusty: Don't give up yet! We can still beat them!

Masara: (laughing proudly) No you can't! Nobody beats the Warriors of Hope!

Kotoko: So just give up! It's super easy! No need to be so stubborn!

Jataro: Yeah. Giving up is the easy way out of this situation.

Rusty: You're wrong! We don't give up *that* easily!

Kotoko: I see. So stubborn! I hate stubborn people!

Masara: If you're not gonna give up we have no other choice but to use our robots to destroy you! Nagisa, press the button!

Nagisa: (nods) On it.

Josephine: Don't!

[SLASH]

The robots were destroyed in pieces.

Masara: What the heck?!

Kotoko: Who did that?!

???: I did. (comes out of the shadows) My name is Kaoru Mashiko.

Kotoko: Not cute! Ugh, why are you carrying a sword that huge?!

Kaoru: This is part of my family, idiot.

Kotoko: Don't call me an idiot! Togetic, use Ancient Power! Crush her!

Togetic: Ancient Power!

Rusty: Totodile, Water Gun against Ancient Power! Protect Kaoru!

Totodile: Water Gun~!

Kotoko: Keep using Ancient Power! Make sure you crush them all!

Togetic: Power~!

Rusty: Don't give up, Totodile! Use Water Gun with all your might! We believe in you!

Totodile starts glowing as he involves into Croconaw.

Croconaw: Croconaw! Hydro Pump~!

Kotoko: What?!

Masara: Impossible!

Rusty: You evolve into Croconaw! Awesome! (takes out Pokedex)

**Pokedex: Croconaw, the Big Jaw Pokemon. And the evolve form of Totodile. Once Croconaw has clamped its jaws on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like barbed fishhooks, they become impossible to remove when they have sunk in.**

Hydro Pump forces the Warriors of Hope and their Pokemon partners to fly to the sky.

Croconaw: (panting)

Rusty: You did it, Croconaw! I'm so proud of you! (hugs him tight) You really did it! Thanks to you, we defeated the Warriors of Hope!

Josephine: But there's one problem: we still don't know how to get out of here.

Kaoru: Through the hole that Croconaw just created?

Chimchar: That would work!

Rusty: But I still didn't catch a single Pokemon... (sighs) Such disappointment.

Kaoru gives him a Pokeball.

Kaoru: This contains Buizel. Take it.

Rusty: Really?

Kaoru: Really.

Rusty: Thanks, Kaoru! Now let's head home!

Josephine and Kaoru: Right.
