Editing Ash's Adventures of Aladdin/Transcript (section)

== A Whole New World/Ash needs help from Lillie's family/Aladdin almost spills his beans ==
(The scene changes later that night where Jasmine is on her balcony feeling depressed. Below the balcony, Ash and his friends are in their regular clothes, trying to figure out what to do with Jasmine. Aladdin is also in the same boat. He's pacing around trying to think of a way to talk to Jasmine.)

Ash Ketchum: (as he put on his jacket back on) Well, so much for helping Jasmine after just what happened.

Pikachu: (agreed) Pika.

Misty: You telling me.

Brock: Here, here.

Aladdin: What am I gonna do? Jasmine won't even let me talk to her. I should have known I couldn't pull off that stupid prince wish.

Ash Ketchum: And I did tell you dressing up as a prince wasn't a good idea to begin with.

Pikachu: (agreed) Pika!

(Abu struggles to open a banana with his elephant paws but the banana squirts into his eye. He grumbles in frustration and tosses the banana peels to the pile. Genie and the carpet play chess.)

Genie: So, move. (carpet knocks a black piece off the board) Hey. That's a good move. (as Rodney Dangerfield) I can't believe it. I'm losing to a rug.

Aladdin: Genie, I need help.

Genie: (as Jack Nicolson) Right, sparky, here's the deal. You wanna court the little lady, you gotta be a straight shooter. Do you got it?

Aladdin: What?

Genie: Tell her the '''TRUTH!!!'''

Aladdin: No way! If Jasmine finds out that I was really some crummy street rat, she'd laugh at me.

Ash Ketchum: But Aladdin you did make her happy before any of this happened!

Pikachu: (agreed) Pikachu!

Genie: Yeah! (morphs into a lampshade on top of his head) A woman appreciates a man who can make her laugh. (but Aladdin wasn't amused by the joke and returns to normal) Al, all joking inside.

Brock: You really should just be yourself.

Aladdin: Hey, that's the last I want to be. Okay, I'm gonna go see her. I gotta be smooth, cool, confident. How do I look, guys?

Genie: (sadly) Like a prince.

Ash Ketchum: (sadly) Well, good luck, Aladdin.

(Aladdin then flies off on the carpet up to Jasmine's balcony.)

Misty: I hope he knows what he's doing.

Brock: Me too. Who does he think he is? 

Misty: If only I knew, Brock.

(Determined to try to make things work out between Aladdin and Jasmine, Ash summons Dragonite and climbing on her back)

Brock: Wha-? Hey, Ash, what you doing!?

Ash Ketchum: What does it look like I'm doing!? Pikachu and I are going to see how Aladdin works out with Jasmine as a prince. Besides you know how she doesn't want to be forced into this law especially with Aladdin dressing as a prince.

Misty: Hmm. That's very true, but are you sure about this?

Ash Ketchum: I hope so.

Brock: Well ok then. But don't let Jasmine see or hear you.

Ash Ketchum: Right, come on, Dragonite!

(Dragonite flaps her wings and took off.)

Ash Ketchum: (to Pikachu and Dragonite) To be honest, guys, I want to see Jasmine too. Since the guards took us to jail and that creepy old man got us trapped in the Cave of Wonders, I haven't got the chance to talk with her.

Dragonite: (sad and understand) Gon.

Pikachu: (understand) Pika (remind about what Brock says) Pika Pi. Pika-Chu!

Ash Ketchum: I know, Pikachu! I know what Brock told me to do. (Sighs) I just hope Aladdin knows what he's doing with Jasmine.

(Pikachu and Dragonite nod in agree. We cut to Jasmine in her bedroom as she sighs sadly.)

Aladdin: Princess Jasmine?

(Rajah growls upon seeing Aladdin.)

Jasmine: Who's there?

Aladdin: It's me Prince Ali. (clears throat, deep voice) Prince Ali Ababwa.

Ash Ketchum: (groans as he, Pikachu and Dragonite facepalm in annoyance)

Jasmine: I do not want to see you.

Aladdin: No, no, please. Please, Princess, give me a chance.

Jasmine: Just leave me alone.

(Rajah angrily corners Aladdin while growling at him.)

Aladdin: Down kitty!

(Ash, Pikachu on Dragonite is in the air with the carpet hiding under the balcony as Genie comes up to them)

Genie: (whispers) Hey, Ash, how's our little beau doing? 

Ash Ketchum: (whispers) Not so great, Genie. Right Carpet? (Genie facepalms)

Pikachu: (whispers) Pika.

Ash Ketchum: (whispers) Plus Aladdin needs to stop lying and talk about himself or he'll lose Jasmine or even worse!

Genie: (whispers) Okay. Leave it to me. (winks)

Aladdin: Look, a mouse! Scat! (waving his turban at Rajah) Come on, good kitty! Take off! Down kitty!

Jasmine: Wait, wait. Do I know you?

Pikachu: (Whisper) Pikapi!

Ash Ketchum: (Whisper) Yeah, I hear it too.

Aladdin: Uh, no, no.

Ash Ketchum: (Whisper) Don't lie to her, Aladdin!

Jasmine: You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace.

Ash Ketchum: (whispers) Come on, Aladdin, just tell Jasmine the truth!

Aladdin: The marketplace? (laughs) I have servants to go to the marketplace for me. Why, I even have servants to go to the marketplace for my servants, so it couldn't have been me you met.

(Ash rolls his eyes in annoyance and disappointment.)

Jasmine: (disappointed) No, I guess not.

Genie: (as a bee) Enough about you, Casanova. Talk about her. (Aladdin: Huh?) She's smart, fun, the hair, the eyes. Anything, pick a feature.

Aladdin: Um, Princess Jasmine? You're very...

Genie: Wonderful, magnificent, glorious, punctual!

Aladdin: Punctual!

Jasmine: "Punctual?"

Ash Ketchum: (whispers) Genie!?

Genie: Sorry.

Aladdin: Uh, beautiful.

Genie: Nice recovery. (Ash, Pikachu and Dragonite are relieved)

Jasmine: Hmm, I'm rich too, you know.

Ash Ketchum: (Whisper) Huh?

Aladdin: Yeah.

Jasmine: The daughter of a Sultan.

Aladdin: I know.

Jasmine: A fine prize for any prince to marry.

Aladdin: Uh, right. Right. A prince like me.

Ash Ketchum: (whispers and worried) Uh-oh.

Pikachu: (worried) Pika...

Dragonite: (worried) Gon...

Genie: Warning, warning!

Jasmine: Right, a prince like you. (suddenly becomes angry) And every other stuffed-shirt, swaggering, peacock I've met!

Genie: Mayday, mayday!

Jasmine: Just go jump off a balcony! (walks away)

Aladdin: What?!

Genie: Stop her! Stop her! Want me to sting her?

Aladdin: Buzz off!

Genie: Okay, fine. But remember bee yourself. (goes inside the lamp)

Aladdin: Oh, yeah, right.

Jasmine: What?!

Aladdin: Uh, you're right. You aren't some prize to be won. You should be free to make your own choice. (Jasmine and Rajah look at each other) I'll go now. (jumps off the ledge)

Jasmine: No!

Aladdin: What? What?

Jasmine: (amazed) How-how are you doing that? (looks over the edge upon seeing Aladdin on the carpet, but did not notice Ash, Pikachu and Dragonite being there)

Aladdin: It's a magic carpet.

Jasmine: It's lovely. (holds the carpet's tassel and the carpet kisses her hand)

Aladdin: You, uh, you don't wanna go for a ride, do you? We could get out of the palace. See the world.

Jasmine: Is it safe?

Aladdin: Sure, do you trust me?

Jasmine: (confused) What?

Aladdin: Do you trust me? (holds out his hand)

Jasmine: (slyly) Yes.

(Ash, Pikachu, and Dragonite anxiously watch as Aladdin takes Jasmine by the hand and escorts her onto the carpet. The carpet then takes off and begins flying them away into the night sky.)

Ash Ketchum: (relieved) Phew! That was close. Let's leave them alone for a little while so they can have their lovely night together, okay guys?

Pikachu: Pika, Pika!

Dragonite: (affirmative) Gon.

(Dragonite flies Ash and Pikachu back to Misty and Brock. However, Ash begins to grow a bit worried about how things will turn out between Aladdin and Jasmine. But knowing that this is a romantic night for them, he decides to leave them alone. Back with the carpet, Jasmine looks back and sees Rajah looking up at her questioningly. She gasps as they fly over the palace wall and into the sky.)

Aladdin: (singing) I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid

Tell me, princess, now when did

You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways and under

On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world

A new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no

Or where to go

Or say we're only dreaming

Jasmine: (singing) A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But when I'm way up here

It's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world with you

Aladdin: (singing) Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Jasmine: (singing) Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world (Aladdin: (singing) Don't you dare close your eyes)

A hundred thousand things to see (Aladdin: (singing) Hold your breath - it gets better)

I'm like a shooting star

I've come so far

I can't go back to where I used to be

Aladdin: (singing) A whole new world (Jasmine: (singing) Every turn a surprise)

With new horizons to pursue (Jasmine: (singing) Every moment red-letter)

Both: (singing) I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you

Aladdin: (singing) A whole new world (Jasmine: (singing) A whole new world)

That's where we'll be (Jasmine: (singing) That's where we'll be)

Aladdin: (singing) A thrilling chase

Jasmine: (singing) A wondrous place

Both: (singing) For you and me...

(As Aladdin and Jasmine continue their beautiful night together, we cut back to Ash pacing back and forth in worry. He is still thinking about Aladdin's decision of lying his way in the palace by pretending to be a prince and Jasmine's angry reaction on her father's law.)

Misty: Calm down, Ash. You're getting yourself all worked up.

Ash Ketchum: Well, why wouldn't I, Misty? Back at the oasis, we all knew that this ruse was a bad idea. I mean did you see the look on her face the minute we arrived at the palace?! She doesn't even like the idea of this law her father established!

Brock: Yeah, and I can see why she didn't want to talk to Aladdin the minute she saw him in his royal attire.

Misty: And the minute she said, "I am not a prize to be won.", it was like her father is treating her more like a trophy rather than a member of the family.

Ash Ketchum: Exactly, Misty! And if Aladdin really wants to win Jasmine over, how are we going to convince our new friend to just be himself rather than pretending to be something he isn't?! (sighs in frustration) I don't know what else to do. There's no way of talking him out of this.

Pikachu: Pika...

(Misty and Brock look at each other in worry.)

Misty: You know, perhaps there is someone out there who can help.

Ash Ketchum: There is?

(Later, in the Alola region, we go to Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's house. The phone is ringing.)

Professor Kukui: Hello, this is the Kukui residence.

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Um,... Alola, Kukui, it's me. Ash Ketchum.

Professor Kukui: Oh, Ash, Alola. I haven't heard you in a while. How's every little thing?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Uh, not so very good. I'm having friendship problems lately with a new friend. In fact, I have something to ask you. Is Lillie and her family anywhere near your home? I need their help and I have to speak with them right away.

Professor Kukui: Lillie? Oh, well, sure, of course. I'll see if I can get in touch with them.

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Thanks, Professor.

(Later...)

Lillie: Hello?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Alola, Lillie. This is your godfather, Ash Ketchum.

Lillie: Oh, Ash! Alola! It's so good to be hearing from you! How are you doing?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Not so good. I've got a bit of a problem and I need some advice from you and your family.

Lillie: Oh, I see. Well, if you have a problem, then we'll be more than happy to help. Tell us. What's the problem?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Okay. (sighs sadly) Misty, Brock, and I traveled to a Middle Eastern town called Agrabah and while we were there, we crossed paths with a young man who is named Aladdin. You see, many people refer to him as a street rat because he steals food from market stands, but in truth, he steals in order to survive because he lived in the streets all by himself his whole life.

Lillie: Oh, that's terrible!

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) I know. But despite all the troubles he's been through his whole life, he's a really, really nice guy. He gets along really well with us. But there's one little problem. He's lying his way into the palace by pretending to be a prince.

Lillie: Pretending to be a prince?!

Lusamine: What?!

Gladion: Huh?!

Mohn: What was that?!

Lillie: But why would he want to do that?!

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Because he's in love with the sultan's daughter, Princess Jasmine. We went along with him when he told us to act out as his royal servants during the grand entrance into Agrabah through his parade. You see, according to what we've heard from one of the palace guards, the law says that she has to be married to a prince by her sixteenth birthday.

(Lusamine and Mohn stare at each other in confusion.)

Lillie: Well, that doesn't sound very fair.

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) No, it is not fair. She doesn't like the idea of being forced into this law. For all she wanted was to be married only for love and to only marry someone that she deems worthy to her. But her father doesn't see it the way she does. Even my friends and I learned about it when we first met her at the marketplace after she tried to run away from the palace days ago. And Aladdin's fully aware of the law as well. But the problem is he thinks that Jasmine deserves to be married to a prince. So, he came up with the idea that the only way for him to win her affection and be with her is to actually become a prince.

Lillie: Oh, my!

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) You see, this is why we need you and your family's help, Lillie. We really want to help Aladdin and Jasmine approve their romance together without hurting them and causing any trouble. But because of this law, we don't know what to do.

(Lillie think for moment)

Lillie: Hmm. (To Ash) Ash, what did Jasmine say to you and the others on the day you met her?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Well, when we first met Jasmine, she told us about her father "the Sultan" is the ruler of all Agrabah and he makes the rules in this town.

Lillie: Oh, I see. So, has Jasmine tried talking to her father about all this?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) She did, but he never listened to her.

Lillie: Oh, so have you tried to talk to him?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Well, now that you mentioned it. I haven't talked to him since the others, and I got back from the oasis.

Lillie: The oasis?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) It's a long story.

Lillie: Oh.

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Anyway, after we got back. Pikachu notice her and let just say she's eavesdrop and she says that she's nobody's trophy.

Lillie: Oh dear, I can imagine she doesn't like this.

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) You are correct, she really doesn't like that.

Lillie: (nod in agreed) So do you think you could tried talk the Sultan?

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) I would try, but I'm not sure if the Sultan would listen to me like he never listened to Jasmine.

Lillie: Oh I see.

(Mohn, Gladion and Lusamine look at each other in worry about what Ash just say, until Mohn just got an idea and walk up to his daughter to have a word with Ash. He tapped on Lillie's shoulder and signal her for "let me have a talk to Ash". Lillie realise what her dad say)

Lillie: Hold on, Ash, I think my dad wants to talk to you!

Ash Ketchum: (O.V.) Your dad? (then realise) Oh you mean "Mohn"! How's he doing?

-

Jasmine: It's all so magical.

Aladdin: Yeah.

Jasmine: It's a shame Abu and the others had to miss this.

Aladdin: Nah. Ash and the others will see them another day and Abu? He hates fireworks. He doesn't like flying either. Well, that is- Oh, no.

Jasmine: (suddenly becomes angry, while taking off his turban) You are the boy from market! And those so-called servants of yours from earlier today: they were Ash and his friends! I knew it! Why did you lie to me?! And why did you drag those kids into all of this?!

Aladdin: Jasmine, I'm sorry!

Jasmine: Did you think I was stupid?! (Aladdin: No!) That I wouldn't figure it out?! (tosses his turban back to him)

Aladdin: No, I mean. I hope you wouldn't. No, that's not what I meant.

Jasmine: Who are you?! Tell me the truth!

Aladdin: The truth? The truth, um, the truth is I sometimes dress as a commoner to escape the pressures of palace life. But I really am a prince.

Jasmine: Why didn't you just tell me?

Aladdin: Well, you know uh. Royalty going out to the city in disguise sounds a little strange don't you think?

Jasmine: Not that strange.
