Editing Ash Ketchum Meets Dumbo/Transcript (section)

== The Gossips/Timothy Q. Mouse Appearance ==

(Later that same night, Mrs. Jumbo was placed in a cold, dark cell and was claimed as a mad animal. Both Dumbo and his mother are deeply sad and depressed that they're separated. Dumbo is all alone, crying tears over the sad separation from his mother. Ash and Pikachu were completely sad at the predicament Dumbo got into. Now that he has no one to protect him, they have one question in mind: what will happen to him now? However, they couldn't help but overhear the gossip from the other circus elephants from the other side of the tent.)
* Circus elephant  #1: Oh, my dear! Can you bear it? When she doused the ringmaster, I just thought I'd die!
* Prissy: Well personally, I think she went a bit too far.
* Matriarch: After all, one mustn't forget one is a lady.
* Giddy: Oh, you're right, dear. Yeah.
* Prissy: (sarcastically while holding some hay) Oh well, I suppose that's mother love.
* Circus elephant #2: But it's certainly no excuse for what she did. Mother love might cover a multitude of sins.
(Ash and Pikachu overheard their discussion and were not overly impressed with their statements. But little did they know, they're not the only ones overhearing their conversation. Below them, a tiny brown mouse with a circus attire is searching through an old bag of peanuts.)
*Timothy Q. Mouse: (comes out with a peanut) Huh. A guy can't eat in peace. (opens the peanut) Gab, gab, gab. Always gossipin' (munches on one of the peanuts)
(As Timothy munches on the peanuts, the rest of Ash's gang arrive at the scene. They all stop to overhear the conversation as well.)
*Catty: Girls, girls, listen. Have I got a trunk full of dirt?
*Circus elephants: Well, darling, go on, go on.
*Catty: (lifts Prissy's ear) Well, I heard today that they have put her in solitary confinement.
*Ash Ketchum: (quietly) What?! Solitary confinement?!
*Pikachu: Pika?!
(Ash's gang gasp upon hearing the shocking news.)
*Matriarch: No!
*Circus elephant #1: You don't mean...
*Circus elephant #2: Oh, how awful for her!
*Prissy: Well, I must say I don't blame her for anything.
*Catty: You're absolutely right. It's all the fault of that little F-R-E-A-K.
*Prissy: Yes. Him with those ears that only a mother could love.
(The circus elephants laugh as Ash gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in anger. He goes to criticize them, but Misty and Brock restrain him.)
*Misty: Steady, Ash. Steady.
*Brock: Calm down, Ash. Take it easy.
*Ash Ketchum: But they called Dumbo a freak!
*Misty: We know, Ash. We know. But we can't just charge in there and beat them up senselessly. It'll make things worse. We'll teach them a lesson soon enough.
*Brock: But for now, just relax.
(As Brock and Misty calm Ash down, they hear a friendly voice.)
*Timothy Q. Mouse: What's the matter with his ears? I don't see nothing wrong with them. I think they're cute.
*Korra: Yes, they sure are cute. And I totally agr- Wait. Who said that?
(Ash and the gang look around until...)
*Timothy Q. Mouse: Yoo-hoo! Down here!
(They look down and were surprised to see Timothy at their feet.)
*Korra: (gasps) A m-m-mouse!
(They freak out, scurry and climb onto some crates and buckets to avoid him.)
*Asami Sato: Eww! Yuck! Keep him away! Keep him away!
*Misty: Get away! Get away!
*Timothy Q. Mouse: Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it easy there, guys! I'm a good mouse and I'm completely harmless. I wouldn't hurt a fly. I'm very gentle. You can trust me. I would never hurt you all. Honest, I won't.
*Brock: Promise?
*Timothy Q. Mouse: Yes, promise.
(They climb back down as he appears to be very friendly.)
*Ash Ketchum: You seem like a nice little mouse. You new?
*Timothy Q. Mouse: No, I just got here. The name's Timothy. Timothy Q. Mouse.
*Ash Ketchum: Oh, well, hello, Timothy. I'm Ash Ketchum. This is my pal, Pikachu. And these guys here are my companions. This is Misty, Brock, Kronk, Zhane, Korra, Mato, Bolin, Asami, Jean-Bob, Speed, Puffin, and Jeremy.
(They all say hello to Timothy. But before a friendly conversation could continue further, they're interrupted by the circus elephants' conversation when the matriarch silenced their laughter.)
*Matriarch: Ladies, ladies! It's no laughing matter at all.
*Giddy: Oh.
*Prissy: Oh, she's right, girls.
*Matriarch: Don't forget that we elephants have always walked with dignity. His disgrace is our own shame.
*Prissy: Yes, that's true. That's very true.
*Giddy: Oh, indeed it is.
*Catty: Well, frankly, I wouldn't eat at the same bale of hay with him. (eats some hay)
*Prissy: No. Right.
*Giddy: Me neither, dearie.
*Circus elephant #1: I should say.
*Circus elephant #2: Nor I. That's just how I feel about it.
(Dumbo attempts to walk in and join them.)
*Circus elephant #3: Here he comes now.
*Matriarch: Hmph! Pretend you don't see him.
(They clump together to ignore the poor baby elephant. Ash and the gang stood there motionless and speechless as the circus elephants shunned the innocent little calf.)
*Timothy Q. Mouse: How do you like that? Givin' him the cold shoulder.
(Now truly seeing that none of the elephants don't want to have anything to do with him, Dumbo sulked his head down and sadly walked away.)
*Timothy Q. Mouse: (feeling sympathetic) Poor little guy. There he goes. Without a friend in the world. Nobody to turn to.
*Misty: (growls) I don't believe this! They can't just turn their backs on Dumbo just because he's different! I mean he's only a baby elephant for Pete's sakes! Who do they think they are?!
*Brock: You know what? I think it's time we taught them a little lesson.
*Ash Ketchum: Indeed, Brock. Timothy, how's about we'd go give them a taste of their own medicine?
*Timothy Q. Mouse: With pleasure, Ash.
*Ash Ketchum: (pulls down his hat) Come on, Pikachu. Let's give these pachyderms a shocking surprise.
*Pikachu: Pika! (hops up onto Ash's shoulder)
(Timothy quietly approached the elephants from below their feet. Ash and Pikachu snuck in between them to give them a good surprise.)
*Catty: A mouse!
(The elephants shriek and run around. Timothy makes loud chattering sounds and Pikachu unleashes its Thunderbolt attacks to scare them further.)
*Timothy Q. Mouse: So, you like to pick on little guys, huh? Well, why don't you pick on me?
*Ash Ketchum: Or me?
*Pikachu: (angrily) Pikachu!
*Matriarch: D'AH!!! (hides behind some curtains)
(Timothy continues to scare them by making faces while Ash lets Pikachu use its electric attacks to humiliate them even more. Catty and Giddy shriek in fright.)
*Timothy Q. Mouse: A proud race.
*Ash Ketchum: Tell me about it. A proud race that behaves like a bunch of overstuffed hay bags!
(Prissy, who was hiding on a ladder, was losing support from a wooden prop. Timothy chuckles for a bit as he leaves. Ash and Pikachu smirked as they leave as well.)
*Ash Ketchum: Ha, ha. Wimps.
(With Ash, Pikachu, and Timothy leaving, the elephants slowly started coming back down. Timothy turns around and notices this.)
*Timothy Q. Mouse: (quickly swifts around and makes himself look like Napoleon) BOO!
*Circus elephants: AHH!!! (climbed back up)
*Ash Ketchum: (laughs) That oughta teach you not to mess with me and my friends, you overgrown cowards!
*Pikachu: Pika, Pikachu!
*Ash Ketchum: (to the elephant matriarch) And you!
*Matriarch: M-M-Me?
*Ash Ketchum: (gives her an angry death stare) I got my eyes on you. 'Cause if you and the other elephants dare to tease little Dumbo ever again, there will be plenty more where this came from and it'll not pretty the next time this happens. (grabs her trunk) Now, do I make myself (tugs it real hard to prove his point) '''CLEAR?!!!'''
*Matriarch: Yes, clear! Perfectly clear!
*Ash Ketchum: Good. (lets go of her trunk) Now, all of you stay out of our way and leave Dumbo alone. Or else.
*Pikachu: (angry) Pika...!
*Timothy Q. Mouse: (giggles) Still afraid of a mouse.
(They exit the tent and the rest of Ash's gang cheer in excitement.)
*Misty: Whoo-hoo! Way to show them, you two!
*Brock: Yeah, you were great!
