Editing Ash's Adventures of The Lion King/Transcript (section)

== Returning to the Pride Lands/Distracting the Hyenas ==
{Camera switch to Timon and Pumbaa sleeping. Timon is curled up on Pumbaa; Pumbaa is lying on his back. Both are snoring. In his snore, Pumbaa occasionally mumbles "Grubs, grubs." Nala approaches and taps Timon with a paw.}

* '''Nala''': Hey. Hey, wake up.

{Timon wakes up and see a huge lion face in his view. He starts screaming and Pumbaa joins in.}

* '''Nala''': It's OK. Whoa, whoa. It's OK. It's ME.
* '''Timon''': Don't ever do that again! Carnivores, oy!
* '''Nala''': Have you guys seen Simba, or Ash, and the others?
* '''Timon''': {Holding a hand to his head} I thought they were with you.
* Nala: They were, but now I can't find them. Where are they?

{We hear Rafiki's laugh; he's sitting in a tree above them.}

* '''Rafiki''': Ho, ho, ho, ho. You won't find them here. Ha ha. The king... has returned.
* '''Nala''': {Quietly} I can't believe it. {louder, amazed} They've gone back.
* '''Timon''': Gone back? What do you mean? {Looks where Rafiki was; Rafiki is now gone} Hey! What's goin' on here? Who's the monkey?
* '''Nala''': Simba, Ash, and their friends have gone to challenge Scar.
* '''Timon''': Who?
* '''Nala''': Scar.
* '''Pumbaa''': Who's got a scar?
* '''Nala''': {Shaking head} No, no, no. It's his uncle.
* '''Timon''': The monkey's his uncle?
* '''Nala''': No! Simba's gone back to challenge his uncle to take his place as king.
* '''Timon and Pumbaa''': Ohhh.

{Simba, Ash and friends slowly crosses the desolated land.)

* '''Brock:''' Nala wasn't kidding. Everything has changed since we were here.
* '''Ash Ketchum:''' Yeah. There's no food, no water... and no life... Nothing but dirt and bones.
* '''Misty:''' All the animals are gone.

(They reach the lip of a cliff and looks out over his former home. Mostly lacking in life, it is painted in grays. Seeing the desolation, a look of determination, even fury, appears on both Simba and Ash's faces.}

* '''Ash Ketchum:'''  Hmm.
* '''Nala''': Guys, wait up! {She trots up next to him on the ledge} ...It's awful, isn't it?
* '''Simba''': I didn't wanna believe you.
* '''Nala''': What made you come back?
* '''Simba''': I finally got some sense knocked into me. And I've got the bump to prove it. Besides, this is my kingdom. If I don't fight for it, who will?
* '''Nala''': I will.
* '''Ash Ketchum:''' No, Nala. We all will fight.
* '''Misty:'''  And nothing will stand our way.
* '''Simba''': It's gonna be dangerous.
* '''Nala''': {Quoting young Simba} Danger? Ha! I laugh in the face of danger. Ha ha ha ha.
* '''Timon''': I see nothing funny about this.
* '''Simba''': Timon? Pumbaa? What are you doing here?
* '''Pumbaa''': {Bowing on one foreleg} At your service, my liege.
* '''Ash Ketchum:''' How did you two get here?
* '''Pumbaa:''' We came with Nala since she told us Simba was coming back here. So we decided to come with her.
* '''Misty:''' That explains a lot.
* '''Brock:''' Well besides our Pokémon. We could use all the help we can get from you guys.
* '''Timon''': Uh. We're gonna fight your uncle... for this?
* '''Simba''': Yes, Timon; this is my home.
* '''Timon''': Eeh. Talk about your fixer-upper. Well, Simba, if it's important to you, {bows} we're with you to the end.

{Simba smiles appreciatively. Nice scene with the 8 of them on the ledge viewing the work ahead of them. Camera switches to Simba. Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu, sneaking up to the edge of Pride Rock. From behind a log, they observe close up the hordes of hyenas.}

* '''Timon''': Hyenas. I hate hyenas. {To Simba, whispering} So what's your plan for getting past those guys?
* '''Simba''': Live bait.
* '''Timon''': Good idea. {Realizing} Hey!
* '''Misty:''' Come on, Timon-- you guys have to create a diversion.
* '''Timon''': {Incredulous} What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?

{Camera switch to Timon in a hula outfit. The music sung is The Hawaiian War Chant much like the Spike Jones arrangement. Pumbaa is set up like a roast pig, even with an apple in his mouth. Jungle drum riff.}

'''[Timon]'''

Luau!

If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat

Eat my buddy Pumbaa here because he is a treat

Come on down and dine

On this tasty swine

All you have to do is get in line

{Parenthetical parts are Pumbaa singing; the apple is at his feet.}

Aaaare you achin'

'''[Pumbaa]'''

Yup, yup, yup

'''[Timon]'''

Foooor some bacon?

'''[Pumbaa]'''

Yup, yup, yup

'''[Timon]'''

Heeee's a big pig

'''[Pumbaa]'''

Yup, yup

'''[Timon]'''

You could be a big pig too.

Oy!

{They run off screaming to lead some of the hyenas away.)
