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

== Stormy bike ride/Richard, Ash and friends enter the library ==
(The scene changes where the garage door opens where Richard, Ash and friends are on their bikes. Pikachu and Togepi are inside the bike baskets. Richard wears a yellow bike helmet, a construction vest and a jacket. He turns on the bike lights then they all pedal away from Richard's house. The warning device beeps go on and off. The sky darkens with clouds as they all peddle into the neighborhood. Then we cut to a boy riding his bike off the ramp.)

Boy: All right!

Girl: Whoa! Good one!

(Richard, Ash and his friends peddle to see the kids perform bike stunts off the ramp.)

Boy 2: I went further. (kids laugh)

Girl: You went further that time.

Boy 3: All right! Way to go, dude!

Girl: All right, line it up.

(Richard, Ash and friends stop to see them, as the boy rides his bike off the ramp, the girl turns to look at Richard scornfully.)

Girl: Hey, guys, look, it's Richie Tyler. (kids laughing)

Boy: Hey, check out his clothes. (To Richard) Hey, Tyler, where you going the moon?

(Ash and his friends are appalled to see Richard getting picked on.)

Girl: Get cable on that thing Tyler?

(An embarrassed Richard didn't respond he just peddled away and ignored the kids taunts.)

Boy 2: Hey ,what's the matter you chicken? (making chicken noises)

Boy 3: What's the matter, wuss? Forgot your training wheels?

(The kids laugh at Richard scornfully. Ash and his friends glare furiously at the kids.)

Ash Ketchum: Hey, you leave Richard alone!

Misty: Yeah, back off!

Brock: You kids, give Richard his space!

Pikachu: Pika!

Girl: What are you guys, cops?

Ash Ketchum: No, we're Richard's friends!

Misty: And we're all Pokémon trainers!

Brock: That's right!

(The kids laugh scornfully upon hearing that.)

Girl: (smiling tauntingly) Yeah, right and that's some weird pets you freaks got here.

Misty: (furiously) Don't you dare call us that! (Ash growls in anger)

(Pikachu gets really mad upon hearing that rude remark and sparks come flying out his cheeks as if warning the kids, which made the kids nervous.)

Girl: Whoa! I think I hear my parents calling!

Boy: (scared) Uh-oh, we're outta here!

(The kids pedal away. Then Ash and his friends catch up to Richard.)

Ash Ketchum: Are you ok, Rich?

Richard Tyler: Yeah, thanks guys, nobody stuck up for me before.

Ash Ketchum: Oh, it was nothing.

Pikachu: Pika Pikachu. 

Misty: You know, Richard you shouldn't let those kids upset you. 

Brock: Yeah, Richard you gotta stand up for yourself, otherwise you'd be miserable for the rest of your life. 

Richard Tyler: I don't know how to stand up to anybody and I also don't fight anybody. 

Ash Ketchum: Don't worry Richard, we'll all help you. 

Brock: (hears the thunder rumble) Uh-oh, looks like there's a storm coming guys. We gotta get out of here.

Richard Tyler: (nodding) Good idea, Brock.

(The thunder claps as the storm begins the lightning strikes the power lines which caused Richard, Ash and friends to gasp in fright. They rode their bikes into the tunnel, they peddled as fast as they could as lights in the tunnel break. They all come out of the tunnel it rained really hard, they continued peddling into the park, but suddenly a loose branch falls in front of Richard. He loses control of his bike hitting the tree and falling off his bike.)

Ash, Brock and Misty: Richard!

(Ash. Brock and Misty get off their bikes, taking Pikachu and Togepi out of the bike baskets and go to check on Richard.)

Ash Ketchum: Rich, are you ok? (Helping up Richard off the wet ground)

Richard Tyler: Yeah, Ash. (Removes his helmet and feeling his head) No cranial damage.

Misty: Good thing you have your helmet on.

Brock: That was really smart.

(Richard, Ash and friends turn to see the statue and the building.)

Ash Ketchum: Guys, the storm is too strong.

Richard Tyler: Ash is right, we better find shelter.

Misty: Good idea.

(Richard attempts to lift his bike, the headlights go off and beeping noise fades. Richard, Ash and friends run up the building. Richard throws away his vest.)

Misty: (takes Richard's hand) Come on, Richard!

(Richard, Ash and friends go up the stairs and looks at the lion statue. They all head for the entrance. Ash opens the doors as he, Richard and friends enter the building. Richard unbuttons his jacket, Pikachu shakes the water off him. Misty dries Togepi with a towel.)

Richard Tyler: Hello?

Ash Ketchum: Is anybody here?

Brock: What is this place?

(Just then the door opens. Richard, Ash and friends gasp.)

Misty: (softly) Who's there?

(Pikachu hides behind Ash and Togepi quivers and whimpers in Misty's arms while Brock has his hand on Richard's shoulder. It was a librarian named Mr. Dewey, pushing a cart of books he stops to see Richard, Ash and friends. He switches the lights, then slowly approached the group smiling kindly at them.)

Mr. Dewey: Welcome to the library, children. (shakes Richard's hand then he shook Ash, Misty and Brock's hands)

Ash Ketchum: So, this is the library? 

Mr. Dewey: Yes, son it is. So what are all here for? Don't tell me, children. You're all here for a special book.

Misty: Uh, no sir.

Ash Ketchum: Uh-uh.

Brock: Not really.

Richard: Mister...

Mr. Dewey: Stop, stop, stop. Allow me to guess. I have a talent for guessing what people need. You're in need of... a fantasy. Brave knights, mythical fairies, ferocious dragons.

Misty: Look sir, all we want is...

Mr. Dewey: Adventure! Of course. You're the children who loves adventure! Brimming with wicked demons, cutthroat pirates...

Ash Ketchum: (shakes his head) No, no, sir, that's not it.

Mr. Dewey: Horror! (Richard, Ash and friends look at him with confusion) Oh, horror. (they walk backwards as he walks like a monster) Evil demon, wretched monsters, haunted houses, graveyards.

Misty: Oh, this is really disturbing.

Mr. Dewey: Yes, it's horror for you, children. I'm sure of it. Your library cards, please.

Ash Ketchum: We don't have them. (Mr. Dewey pulls out the library cards)

Mr. Dewey: You all do now. (Get's out the clipboard and pen) Sign here. (Richard, Ash and friends sign their names) Richard Tyler, Ash Ketchum, Brock and Misty. Consider this your passports to the wonderful, quite unpredictable world of books.

Ash Ketchum: (calmly) Uh, excuse me sir. We're not here to check out books.

Mr. Dewey: Hmm?

Misty: We're only here for shelter.

Richard Tyler: Yeah, that's what we're trying to tell you. We only came in here 'cause of the storm.

Mr. Dewey: You mean all don't need...

Brock: No sir, we're staying inside until the storm clears.

Mr. Dewey: (disappointed) Oh, I see. (He walks to his desk)

Misty: So, Mr uh...

Mr. Dewey: It's Mr. Dewey, young lady.

Misty: Right. Mr. Dewey, is there a phone where Richard can call his parents?

Mr. Dewey: (Points to the direction) Through there. Proceed in a northeasterly direction until you all get to the rotunda, and from there head west through the fiction section. And you'll find it. A public telephone. You all can't miss it.

Ash Ketchum: Thank you, Mr. Dewey.

Mr. Dewey: You're welcome, son.

(Richard, Ash and friends walk to the northeasterly direction. Richard stops and looks at Mr. Dewey nervously.)

Mr. Dewey: Don't be afraid, boy. If you and your friends lose your way, merely direct yourselves back to the exit sign. Ash has his arm around Richard as they all continued walking through the sections. Then they all see the rotunda.)

Richard Tyler: (amazed) Wow!

Ash Ketchum: Cool.

Misty: Amazing.

Brock: Would you look at that.

Pikachu: Pika.

Togepi: Togi.

(They all look up at the rotunda seeing a dragon fighting a knight, Long John Silver and his pirate crew, Captain Ahab fighting a white whale, Dr. Jekyll holding a potion with shadow monster in the background. The water drips from Richard's jacket.)

Richard Tyler: Jeez!

(Richard, Ash and friends look up to see a man with a long white beard and wearing a blue garb. The thunder clap is heard then suddenly Richard, Ash and friends slip on the wet floor knocking them unconscious.)
