Meeting Elise, Glameow, and Christopher/Meeting Team Rocket, Popple, and the Fearsome Four

*(The source of the footsteps then revealed itself to be Serena’s group, much to Elise, Glameow, and Christopher’s surprise and confusion. The two groups suddenly notice each other)*

Two groups: Huh? Who are you?

*(Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee walked towards them cautiously, then after smelling the group, Lillipup and Eevee's tails wagged and Pikachu smiled cheerfully)*

Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee: Nice to meet you guys.

*(Lillipup and Eevee then coddled up on Elise in excitement while Pikachu hugged her leg, giggling happily a bit, much to Elise’s surprise, and then hid behind Christopher for defense as Pikachu finished his hug while Glameow just watched in concern)*

Christopher: (Smiling reassuringly) Relax, you two! They're just cute Pokemon.

*(Serena, Ash, and Kaya ran up to them to get Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee)*

Serena, Ash, and Kaya: (Giggling) Lillipup, (Pikachu,) (Eevee,) don’t scare them.

Pikachu: We didn't mean to scare them.

*(The children picked their respective Pokemon up and turned to Elise, Glameow, and Christopher apologetically)*

Ash: Sorry if Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee scared you, they’re mostly social lovers.

Kaya: For Pokemon.

Serena: That's right.

*(Understanding with nods, Elise slowly came out from behind Christopher from his and Glameow's encouragement and spoke up)*

Elise: Thank you for telling us.

Glameow: We just didn’t know up until now.

*(Serena, Ash, and Kaya puts Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee down in front of Glameow and after they smelled her, they got happy and Lillipup and Eevee licked her and Pikachu patted her, much to her surprise)*

Glameow: Uh....

*(Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee nuzzled Glameow, much to her discomfort as first, but then she immediately warmed up to them and nuzzled them back with a purr, much to the group’s happiness. The four Pokemon have become friends, despite being a dog, a mouse, a fox, and a cat Pokemon)*

Pikachu: You're really cool.

Eevee: Indeed.

Lillipup: We like you already.

Glameow: I like you, too, Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee.

*(After the nuzzle ended, Glameow leapt onto Elise’s shoulder and Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee lets Serena, Ash, and Kaya pick them up again)*

Kaya: So, what are you three doing out here?

Elise: And what are you doing out here?

*(Later, after introducing each other and explaining what they’re doing while seated and Serena, Ash, and Kaya having put Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee down, both groups realized happily)*

Serena: So, you’re going to Emerald City, too?

Ash: And that’s Elise’s backstory?

Elise, Glameow, and Christopher: (Nods) That’s right.

Glameow: And you, ironically, are going to Emerald City too, right? And you have dreams as well?

Serena’s group: (Nods) Yep.

Christopher: (To Elise and Glameow) Wow, this is so cool!

*(Elise and Glameow nodded in agreement)*

Christopher: Is it okay if we go with you guys?

*(Surprised, Serena’s group thought it over and nodded)*

Kaya: We’ll let you tag along with us.

Ash: We have the same goals.

Serena: That's right.

Elise, Glameow, and Christopher: Thanks!

*(They get up and Elise got nervous at first. The others noticed)*

Ash: You okay?

Lillipup: What's the matter?

*(Her attention caught, Elise spoke up)*

Elise: Sorry, I'm just nervous. I know Christopher promised to protect me from the dangers and my mother told me about those dangers, but I can’t help having a terrible feeling something bad would happen.

*(Feeling sorry, Serena’s group went up to her)*

Fender: Don’t worry, Elisy.

Fievel: We’ll make sure you don’t get hurt or attacked.

Tiger: And we’ll show them!

Pinocchio: (To Elise) You can count on all of us like you do with Christopher! *(To Jiminy)* Right?

Jiminy: Exactly. Just let your conscience be your guide.

*(Smiling gently at their kind promise, Elise nods)*

Elise: Thank you.

Serena: Just think happy thoughts such as finding your true past.

Elise: Okay.

*(They resume their walk as Elise starts singing)*

Elise: **Heart don’t fail me now**

**Courage don’t desert me**

**Don’t turn back**

**Now that we’re here**

**People always say**

**Life is full of choices**

**No one ever**

**Mentions fear**

**Or how the world**

**Can seem so vast**

**On a journey to the past**

*(She picks an orange poppy and throws it into the air and Glameow and Pikachu slapped it away playfully with their paw and hand upon its fall, and then Lillipup and Eevee kicked it aside happily. Then they resume their walk)*

Elise: **Somewhere down this road**

**I know someone’s waiting**

**Years of dreams**

**Just can’t be wrong**

**Arms will open wide**

**I’ll be safe and wanted**

**Finally home**

**Where I might belong**

**Well, starting now**

**I’m learning fast**

**On this journey to the past**

*(They see a family of wolves trying to free a pup from a hollow tree trunk when they came up and Elise helped gently pull the pup free, much to the wolves’ amazement and then happiness. Later, the group waved goodbye to the wolves who happily howled a goodbye back)*

Elise: **Home, love, family**

**Maybe once a time**

**I must’ve had it too**

*(Suddenly, they came across three squirrels trying to pull an acorn free, but Elise and Serena picked some for them and out of gratitude, the squirrels happily accepted the acorns and ran up a tree)*

Elise: **Home, love, family**

**I will never be complete**

**Until I find you**

*(They resume their trek)*

Elise: **One step at a time**

**One hope than another**

**Who knows where**

**This road may go?**

**Back to who I maybe was**

**On to find my future**

**Things my heart**

**Still needs to know**

**Yes, let this be a sign**

**Let this road be mine**

**Let it lead me to my past**

**And bring me home**

**At last**

*(After the song ended, Serena went up to her proudly)*

Serena: See? That wasn’t bad thinking happy thoughts like that.

Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee: Wasn't it?

Elise: Yeah. It felt good.

Pokemon, except Glameow, and kids: Well, to Oz?

Serena’s group: To Oz!

*(They then sang as they march along the Yellow Brick Road)*

Serena’s group: **We’re off to see the Wizard**

**The Wonderful Wizard of Oz**

**We’ll find he is a whiz of a wiz**

**If ever a wiz there was**

**If ever, oh ever, a wiz there was**

**The Wizard of Oz is one**

**Because, because, because, because**

**Because, because**

**Because of the wonderful things**

**He does**

**We’re off to see the Wizard**

**The Wonderful Wizard of Oz**

*(Later, as they continued their trek laughing, they stopped when Lillipup noticed a strange looking cookie and ran up to it happily)*

Lillipup: Yum! A cookie!

Serena: Lillipup!

Eevee: We don’t need a cookie!

Kaya: Eevee's right.

Pikachu: Don't you have a feeling it might be a trap?

*(The group went up to get Lillipup when suddenly, they, except Fievel, Jiminy, and the Pokemon, flung up into the air, hanging upside-down with ropes tied around their feet and Serena, Pinocchio, and Ash’s hats fell off Serena, Pinocchio, and Ash’s heads)*

Pikachu: (Flatly) Yep, I knew it. It's a trap.

Elise: What’s going on?!

Ash: Obviously, we got caught in a trap!

Christopher: But who would do that to us?

*(Suddenly, eight voices spoke up to them from within the bushes, getting their attention)*

Male Brooklyn-accented voice: (Voice-over) A hunter, that’s what.

Male nasal James Cagney-esque voice: (Voice-over) We saw the whole thing, see?

Male monotone voice: (Voice-over) We *were* gonna come out and warn ya.

First normal male voice: (Voice-over) But we were too late.

Male nasal voice: (Voice-over) You're obviously caught in a pickle.

Male echoey voice: (Voice-over) And if you need help, turn to us pros.

Female voice and second normal male voices: (Voice-over) That's right!

*(The group got confused and then the sources of the eight voices came out, revealing themselves to be a strange male creature, four male anthro animal mutants, two humans, a woman and man, and another cat-like Pokemon, much to the group’s confusion)*

***Coming up: Serena’s group were robbed by the eight con artist thieves and after discovering this, they soon discover while getting their stolen stuff back that Serena, Ash, Kaya, and Elise have special magical powers and as they contemplate on learning these things, they are soon picked on by the thieves, but will it be enough for Serena and Ash, who snapped from the bullying, to make the bullying thieves see reason from their berating lecture?***
