Ash Ketchum Meets Pocahontas/Transcript

This is a transcript for Ash Ketchum Meets Pocahontas.

Opening/"Virginia Company"

(Opening transitions: Exterior, London docks, day.)

English Chorus: (sings) In sixteen hundred seven, we sail the open sea. For glory, heavens and gold and the Virginia Company. For the New World is like heaven, and we'll all be rich and free. Or then we have been warned by the Virginia Company. Then we have been warned by the Virginia Company. For glory, heavens and gold and the Virginia Company.

Englishman: Ready to hoist the cannon?

Englishman: Aye!

Lon: Hey, look! Is that Smith?

Ben: That's him, alright, the old sea dog.

Thomas: Captain John Smith! I've heard some amazing stories about him.

Lon: Are you coming on this voyage, as well?

Ben: Of course he is, you half-wit. You can't fight Indians without John Smith.

John Smith: That's right. I'm not about to let you boys have all the fun.

English Chorus: (singing) From the beaches of Virginny, there's diamonds like debris. There's silver rivers flow and gold you pick right off a tree. With a nugget for my Winnie, and another one for me. And all the rest will go to the Virginia Company. It's glory, heavens and gold and the Virginia Company!

Sailing the Storm/John Smith saves Thomas

(Cut to: The Susan Constant in a storm.)

Englishman: Haul on the brace!

Englishman: C'mon, lads, c'mon!

Englishman: Do your best!

Englishman: Watch out!

Englishman: Faster! She's taking up more water!

Englishman: Watch out! Aah!

Thomas: John! Get down here! The cannons are breaking loose!

John Smith: Reef the topsails!

Englishman: Aye, sir!

John Smith: Steady on your curse! It's alright, Thomas. We'll get her tied off!

Englishman: Say your prayers, lad!

Englishman: Watch out!

Englishman: Oh, dear!

John Smith: Thomas, watch it!

Thomas: HEEELLLPPP!!!

Englishman in Crow's Nest: Man overboard!

Thomas: HEEEELP!!!!

Ben: Stay your curse. He's lost!

Thomas: HEEELLLPPP!!!

John Smith: Pull the pin!

Englishman: Aye, sir!

(John Smith jumps into the sea.)

Ben: Smith! Smith! Are you crazy?

John Smith: Hang on, Thomas. I've got you!

Lon: Faster, the rope!

Ben: Heave! C'mon, lads, pull! Pull! Pull! Put your back into it!

Englishman: Pull! Pull!

Lon: Hang on!

Englishman: Yes!

Ben: There, me lucky lad.

John Smith: Well, that was refreshing.

Lon: Well done, Smith.

John Smith: Of course. You'd all do the same for me.

Ben: Oh, sure, sure, of course we would.

Lon: Yes, yes, yes. We would.

Ben: Absolutely.

Ratcliffe: Danger on deck?

Thomas: Governor Ratcliffe!

John Smith: Thomas fell overboard, sir.

Ratcliffe: Thank heavens he's been successfully retrieved. Well finished, Smith.

John Smith: Thank you, sir.

Ratcliffe: Don't lose heart, men. It won't be long before we reach the New World, and remember what awaits us there. Freedom––

Percy: (barks)

Ratcliffe: Prosperity––––

Percy: (barks twice)

Ratcliffe: The adventure of our lives. You are the finest crew England has to offer and nothing, not wind nor pouring rain nor a thousand bloodthirsty savages shall stand in our fashion. Carry on, men!

Englishmen: (cheering)

Wiggins: A stirring oration, sir. I wish the men were most exhilarated!

Ratcliffe: Let us hope so. I'll need these witless peasants to dig up my gold, won't I?

(Cut to: Elsewhere on deck.)

Thomas: This New World's going to be grand, John. I'm going to get a pile of gold, build me a big house and if any Indian tries to stop me, I'll blast him.

John Smith: You just concern about that fortune of yours, Thomas. Leave the savages to me.

Lon: You think they'll give us much damage?

Ben: Not as much damage as Smith'll give them!

Englishmen: (singing) We'll murder ourselves an Injun.

John Smith: (sings) Or perhaps two or three.

Englishmen and John Smith: (singing) We're stalwart men and bold of the Virginia Company.

Thomas: What do you suppose the New World will look like?

John Smith: Like all the others, I suppose so. I've seen hundreds of New Worlds, Thomas. What could possibly be different about this one?

Englishmen: (singing) It's glory, heavens and gold and the Virginia Company!

Virginia/"Steady As The Beating Drum"

(Transition to: The New World.)

Native Americans: (singing) Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega, ya-hi-ye ne-he hega. Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega, ya-hi-ye ne-he hega. Steady as the beating drum, singing to the cedar flute. Seasons go and seasons come, bring the corn and bear the fruit. By the waters sweet and clean, where the mighty sturgeon lives. Plant the squash and reap the bean, all the earth our Mother gives. O Grand Spirit, hear our song, help us keep the ancient fashions. Keep the sacred fire strong, walk in balance all our days. Seasons go and seasons come, steady as the beating drum. Plum to seed to bud to plum. Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega, steady as the beating drum. Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega, ya-hi-ye ne-he hega. Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega, ya-hi-ye ne-he hega!

Kekata: Ka-ma wingapo, Powhatan.

Powhatan: Ay-man-ay-cho, Kekata. It's nice to be home. Chesk-cham-ay! The Massawomecks are defeated. With the help of our brothers, our villages are safe again!

Native Americans: (cheering)

Kekata: Your return has brought much joy to the village. Look at all the grinning faces.

Powhatan: Yes, but there's one grinning face I don't see. Where is my daughter?

Kekata: You know Pocahontas. She has her mother's spirit. She goes wherever the wind takes her.

Meet Pocahontas/Pocahontas and her father

(Transition to: Top of cliff face.)

Nakoma: Pocahontas! Your father's back. Come down here.

Pocahontas: He's back, Flit. C'mon, Meeko!

Nakoma: No! Not that...fashion.

(Pocahontas dives into the river)

Nakoma: Show-off. Pocahontas? Pocahontas? Are you alright? Well, you better be alright because I'm not coming in after you! (coughs) Don't you think we're getting a little old for these games?

Nakoma & Pocahontas: (laughing)

Pocahontas: Help me turn this boat over.

Nakoma: What were you doing up there?

Pocahontas: Thinking. Meeko!

Nakoma: About the dream again? Oh, have you figured it out yet?

Pocahontas: I know it means something, I just don't know what.

Nakoma: You should ask your father about it.

Pocahontas: Perhaps I should. C'mon, Flit! Quit playing around, we have to get back.

(Transition to: The Powhatan Village.)

Powhatan: ...faced a determined enemy. The battle lasted from the rising of the sun until the evening shadows fell. Our warriors fought with courage, but none as bravely as Kocoum. He attacked with the fierce strength of the bear. He has proven himself to be the biggest...

Nakoma: Oh, he's so handsome.

Powhatan: (off-screen) And the finest....

Pocahontas: I especially love his grin.

Powhatan: ...destroying every enemy in his path. Tonight, we will feast in his honor.

Native Americans: (cheering)

Powhatan: My daughter.

Pocahontas: Wingapo, Father.

Powhatan: Seeing you gives me grand joy.

Pocahontas: I am so glad you've come home safely.

Powhatan: Come with me, we have much to speak about. I want to hear everything you've been thinking about.

Pocahontas: Father, for many nights, now I've been having a very strange dream. I think it's warning me something's about to happen, something emotional.

Powhatan: Yes, something emotional is about to happen.

Pocahontas: Oh. Really? What is this?

Powhatan: Kocoum has asked to seek your hand in marriage.

Pocahontas; Marry Kocoum?

Powhatan: I warned him it would make my heart soar.

Pocahontas: But he's so...serious.

Powhatan: My daughter, Kocoum will make a fine husband. He is loyal and strong and will build you a real house with sturdy walls. With him, you will be safe from harm.

Pocahontas; Father, I think my dream is pointing me down another path.

Powhatan: This is the right path for you.

Pocahontas: But why can't I choose?

Powhatan: Pocahontas, come with me. You are the daughter of the chief. It is time to take your place among our people. Even the wild mountain stream must someday join the big river. (sings) As the river cuts his path, though the river's proud and strong. He will choose the smoothest curse, that's why rivers live so long. They're steady...as the steady beating drum! Your mother wore this for our wedding. It was her dream to see you wear it at your own. It suits you.

"Just Around The Riverbend"/Talk with Grandmother Willow

(Transition to: Pocahontas alone at the riverside.)

Pocahontas: He wants me to be steady...like the river. But it's not steady at all. (singing) What I love most about rivers is, you can't step in the same river twice. The water's always changing, always flowing. But people, I guess, can't live like that. We all must pay a price, to be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing. What's around the riverbend? Waiting just around the riverbend. I look once more, just around the riverbend. Beyond the shore, where the gulls fly free. Don't know what for, what I dream the day might send. Just around the riverbend, for me. Coming for me. I feel it there beyond these trees, or right behind these waterfalls. Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming? For a handsome, sturdy husband who builds handsome, sturdy walls and never dreams that something might be coming. Just around the riverbend, just around the riverbend. I look once more, just around the riverbend. Beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea. Don't know what for, why do all my dreams extend. Just around the riverbend, just around the riverbend. Should I choose the smoothest curse? Steady as the beating drum, should I marry Kocoum? Is all my dreaming at an end? Or do you yet wait for me, Dream Giver? Just around the riverbend!

(Transition to: Pocahontas arriving at Grandmother Willow's glen.)

Grandmother Willow: Is that my Pocahontas?

Pocahontas: Grandmother Willow, I need to speak to you.

Grandmother Willow: Good morning, child. I was hoping you'd visit today. Why, your mother's necklace!

Pocahontas: That's what I wanted to speak to you about. My father wants me to marry Kocoum.

Grandmother Willow: Kocoum? But he's so serious.

Pocahontas; I know. My father thinks it's the right path for me. But lately, I've been having this dream and I think it's––

Grandmother Willow: Oh, a dream! Let's hear all about it!

Animals: (chattering)

Grandmother Willow: Silence! SILENCE!!!!!

Frog: (croaks)

Grandmother Willow: Now, child, you were saying.

Pocahontas: Well, I'm running through the woods and then right there in front of me is an arrow. As I look at it, it starts to spin.

Grandmother Willow: A spinning arrow? How unusual.

Pocahontas: Yes! It spins faster and faster and faster until suddenly it stops.

Grandmother Willow: Huh. Well, seems to me this spinning arrow is pointing you down your path.

Pocahontas: But Grandmother Willow, what is my path? How am I ever going to find it?

Grandmother Willow: (chuckles) Your mother asked me the very same question.

Pocahontas: She did? What did you warn her?

Grandmother Willow: I warned her to listen. All around you are spirits, child. They live in the earth, the water, the heavens. If you listen, they will guide you.

Wind Spirits: (singing) Ay ay ay na ay ay na.

Pocahontas: I hear the wind.

Grandmother Willow: Yes, what is this warning you?

Pocahontas: I don't understand.

Grandmother Willow: (sings) Que que na-to-ra, you will understand. Listen with your heart, you will understand. Let it break upon you like a wave upon the sand.

Pocahontas: It's saying something's coming! Strange clouds?

Grandmother Willow: (singing) Listen with your heart, you will understand.

Wind Spirits: (singing) You will understand!

Grandmother Willow: What do you see?

Pocahontas: Clouds. Strange clouds.

The Settlers arrive/John meets Meeko

(Cut to: The Susan Constant.)

Ratcliffe: Look at it, Wiggins. A whole New World chock complete with gold, just waiting for me.

Wiggins: And scores of adventures waiting for us, right, Percy? Do you think we'll meet some savages?

Ratcliffe: If we do, we should be sure to give them a proper English greeting.

Wiggins: Oh, gift baskets!

Ratcliffe: And he came so highly recommended.

(John Smith enters.)

John Smith: It's perfect, Governor. The water's deep enough, we can pull right up to shore. Hey there, Percy.

Ratcliffe: Very well, then. Give the order.

John Smith: Already finished, sir. I have a crew assembled and they're ready to go.

Ratcliffe: About the natives, I'm counting on you to make sure these filthy heathens don't disrupt our mission.

John Smith: Well, if they're anything like the savages I've fought before, it's nothing I can't handle.

Ratcliffe: Right. That'll be all, Smith, there's a nice man.

John Smith: Farewell, Percy.

Ratcliffe: The men like Smith, don't they? I've never been a popular man.

Wiggins: I like you.

Ratcliffe: And don't think I don't know what these backstabbers at court say about me.

Wiggins: Oh, yes, all that language about you being a pathetic social climber who's failed at everything he's––

Ratcliffe: I'm very well aware that this is my last chance for glory. But mark my words, Wiggins. If King James sees the gold these peasants unearth, success will be mine at last!

(Cut to: Exterior, on deck, Susan Constant.)

Ben: Wake up! Shake a leg!

Lon: It's incredible.

Thomas: And it's all ours. I've never seen anything like it.

Ben: It can look like Ratcliffe's knickers, for all I care, just as long as we get off this stinking boat.

John Smith: C'mon, men, we didn't come all this fashion just to look at it.

(They row ashore as Pocahontas watches.)

Ben: Keep it taut, lads, keep it taut! Easy now, easy.

Lon: Ah, that's far enough! Alright now, tie her off.

Thomas: Here, John, tie up this end. John? John! What are you doing up there?

John Smith: Getting a better look. (Meeko bumps into him) Hey! Well, you're a strange-looking fellow. You hungry? Here you go, it's a biscuit. It's food...well, sort of. You like it, right? Well, try eating it for four months straight. You've had a friend back there? (Flit attacks him) Hey, what, what, watch out! No...get that...careful!

Thomas: John! You better get down here. The Governor's coming ashore!

John Smith: Alright, that's it, I'm leaving.

Meeko meets Percy/"Mine, Mine, Mine"

(Misty exits the house through the front door, raunchy music is playing and she does a groovy walk to the steps where Ash awaits her, she lies down length ways across the step and looks at him.)

Ash Ketchum: Your lip bleeding?

Misty: No.

Ash Ketchum: What's wrong with your eyes?

Misty: A girl can never wear enough eye shadow.

Ash Ketchum: Where's your bike?

Misty: Oh, in the garage. Walk me over.

(The two enter the garage, where a large black hearse is parked.)

Misty: It's only a garage, c'mon.

(Misty notices that one of her streamers on her bike is gone.)

Misty: Hey, one of my streamers is gone! It probably fell over in here.

(Ash walks over to a model of a head.)

Ash Ketchum: Hey, look at this!

Misty: That was Grandma's. It's a phrenology chart, they used to study the bumps in your head to see if you had a good personality or not. Come here, I'll diagnose your head.

Ash Ketchum.: No, I don't wanna.

Misty: C'mon, it's fun.

(Misty examines Ash's head and then compares it with the chart)

Misty: Huh, interesting.

Ash Ketchum: What?

Misty: You have no personality.

Ash Ketchum: Hey, where does it say that?

Misty: Never mind.

(Ash knocks a small lid off a small box and reveals a photo.)

Ash Ketchum: Is that your dad?

Misty: Yes.

Ash Ketchum: Who's that with your dad?

Misty: It's my mother.

Ash Ketchum: Do you remember her?

Misty: No. Grandma said she's in heaven.

Ash Ketchum: What do you think it's like?

Misty: What?

Ash Ketchum: Heaven.

Misty: I think, everybody gets their own white horse, and all they do is ride and eat marshmallows all day, and everybody's best friends with everybody else, if you play sports, there's no teams, where nobody gets picked last.

Ash Ketchum: But, what if you're afraid to ride horses?

Misty: It doesn't matter, because they're not regular horses, they have wings, and it's no big deal if you fall, you just land in cloud.

Ash Ketchum: That doesn't sound so worse, c'mon, we'll never find that streamer.

(As they leave, Misty turns back and grabs the photo, but returns to Ash.)

(Cut to: Exterior, English settlement, day.)

Ratcliffe: I hereby claim this land and all its riches in the name of His Majesty King James the first, and do so name this settlement Jamestown.

Englishmen: (cheering)

Wiggins: Bravo! Bravo! Beautifully spoken, sir! Hurry now, Percy. We must be all squeaky clean for the New World. (exits)

(Cut to: Exterior, onshore, day.)

Ratcliffe: Captain Smith! It appears I've selected the perfect location, right? Not a savage in sight.

John Smith: Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they're not out there, sir.

Ratcliffe: Well then, maybe you should venture forth and determine their whereabouts, huh?

John Smith: If there are any Indians out there, I'll find him.

Ratcliffe: Now, gentlemen, to work. You men, get the ship unloaded.

Englishman: Right, sir.

Ratcliffe: You men build the fort. The rest of you....break out the shovels! It's time to start digging.

Ben & Lon: Digging?

Ratcliffe: Why, of course! Let's not forget what the Spanish found since they came to the New World. Gold, mountains of it! Why, for years they've been ravaging the New World of its most precious resources, but now...it's our turn. (sings) The gold of Cortez, the jewels of Pizarro. Will seem like mere trinkets, by this time tomorrow. The gold we find here will dwarf them by force. Oh, with all ya have in ya, boys. Dig up Virginia, boys. Mine, boys, mine, every mountain. And dig, boys, dig till ya drop. Grab a pick, boys. Faster, boys. Shove in a shovel, uncover these lovely pebbles that sparkle and shine. It's gold, and it's mine...mine...mine.

Englishmen: (singing) Dig and dig and dig and diggety, dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig...

Wiggins: (singing) Hey nonny nonny, oi nonny nonny.

Ratcliffe: (singing) Ooh, how I love it.

Wiggins: (singing) Hey nonny nonny, oi nonny nonny.

Ratcliffe: (singing) Riches for cheap.

Wiggins: (singing) Hey nonny nonny, oi nonny nonny.

Ratcliffe: (singing) There'll be heaps of it, and I'll be on top of the heap. My opponents back home, it's not that I'm bitter. But think how they'll squirm, if they see how I glitter. The ladies in court will be all a-twitter, the king will reward me. He'll knight me, no! Lord me, it's mine, mine, mine for the taking. It's mine, boys, mine me that gold. With these nuggets, dug it's glory they'll give me my daring friend King Jimmy will probably build me a shrine. Until...all of the gold....is mine.

Englishmen: (singing) Dig and dig and dig and diggety, dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig.

John Smith: (singing) All of my life I have searched for a land like this one. A wilder more challenging country I couldn't design. Thousands of dangers await and I don't plan to miss one. In a land I can claim, a land I can tame. The biggest adventure is mine.

Ratcliffe: (singing) Keep on working, lads.

John Smith: (singing) Mine...

Ratcliffe: (singing) Don't be shirking, lads. Mine, boys, mine. Mine me that...gold.

Englishmen: (singing) Dig, dig, and diggety.

Ratcliffe: (singing) Beautiful gold.

Englishmen: (singing) Dig, dig, for that gold. Make this island, my land.

Ratcliffe: (singing) Make the mounds big, boys. I'd help you to dig, boys. But I've had this crick in me spine.

John Smith: (singing) This land we behold.

Ratcliffe: (singing) This beauty unseen.

John Smith: (singing) A man can be bold.

Ratcliffe: (singing) It all can be sold.

Englishmen: (singing) Then go for the gold, we know which is here.

Ratcliffe: (singing) Is...

Englishmen: (singing) All the riches here.

Ratcliffe: (singing) Mine...

Englishmen: (singing) From this moment.

Ratcliffe: (singing) Mine...

Englishmen: (singing) This land and what's in it is...

All: (singing) Miiiiine!

Englishmen: (singing) Dig and dig and diggety-dig. Hey nonny nonny, it's mine!

Pocahontas meets John Smith, Ash and Friends/Ambush/The Colors of the Wind

(Transition to: Exterior, waterfall, day. Pocahontas stalks John Smith.)

John Smith: No, wait! Please! Please! Don't run away. It's alright. I'm not gonna hurt you. Here, let me help you out of range.

Pocahontas: Mat-ta-que na-to-rath.

John Smith: You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you? It's alright.

Wind Spirit: (sings) Ay ay ay na ay ay na.

Grandmother Willow: (singing) Listen with your heart, you will understand. Let it break upon you like a wave upon the sand.

John Smith: Who are you?

Grandmother Willow: (singing) Listen with your heart, you will understand!

Pocahontas: Pocahontas.

John Smith: What? What did you say?

Pocahontas: My name is Pocahontas.

John Smith: I'm John Smith.

(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown, day.)

Ratcliffe: That's it. Keep at it, men. Keep digging. It has to be here somewhere.

Namontack: There's thirty more of them, down among the ridge.

Kocoum: That makes more than a million.

Ratcliffe: Anything yet?

Thomas: Nothing but rocks and dirt, sir.

Lon: Um, how long are we going to keep digging like this, sir?

Ben: Aye, we're slaving off, busting our backs, day and night–––

Ratcliffe: For king and country, I know, I know, and I share your fatigue. Wiggins? WIGGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wiggins: Coming!

Ratcliffe: Dispose of this.

Wiggins: (to Percy) Who's a nice doggy? Who's a real doggy? Fetch, boy!

Ratcliffe: SAVAGES! IT'S AN AMBUSH!! ARM YOURSELVES!!!

Wiggins: Run!

Ratcliffe: Arm yourselves! Make sure every man has a musket! Shoot! (Thomas falls and his rifle goes off incidentally) Them, you idiot! Where's that blasted Smith if I need him?

Kocoum; Namontack! Back to the village!

(The Natives flee)

Englishmen: (cheering)

Ratcliffe: Shut up, shut up, you fools! They'll be back. Everyone, back to camp. Get the rest of the cannons ashore and do building the fort!

Ben: Aye, Governor!

Ratcliffe: (to Thomas) And you! Learn to use that feeling properly. A man's not a man unless he knows how to shoot!

(Cut to: Interior, medical tent, Powhatan camp.)

Kekata: (chanting)

Powhatan: These beasts invade our shores, and now this.

Kekata; (chanting) This wound is strange to me.

Powhatan: We will fight this enemy, but we can't do it alone. Kocoum, send messengers to every village in our nation. We will call on our brothers to help us fight. (steps outside the tent) These white men are dangerous! No one is to go near them.

(Cut to: Exterior, a riverside, day.)

John Smith: It's called a helmet.

Pocahontas: Helmet.

John Smith: Well, what river is this?

Pocahontas: Quiyoughcohannock.

John Smith: You have most unusual names here. Chicahominy. Quiyough––Quiyoughcohannock. Pocahontas.

Pocahontas: You have the most unusual name, as well. John Smith.

John Smith: (pulls Meeko out of his bag) Hey! Is this bottomless pit a friend of yours?

Pocahontas: Meeko!

John Smith: Well, how do you do, Meeko? It's alright, it's just a handshake. Here, let me show you.

Pocahontas: Nothing's happening at first.

John Smith: No, no, I need your hand first. It's how we say hello.

Pocahontas: This is how we say hello. Wingapo.

John Smith: Wingapo.

Pocahontas: And how we say farewell. Ana.

John Smith: I like hello better. (Flit charges at him) Yes, I remember you.

Pocahontas: Flit just doesn't like strangers.

John Smith: But I'm not a stranger anymore. Huh, stubborn little fellow, isn't he?

Pocahontas: Very stubborn.

(Meeko steals John Smith's compass)

John Smith: Hey!

Pocahontas: Meeko! Come back here!

John Smith: Don't worry, he can't hurt it. (Meeko hits it against a rock) Hey, what are you doing here?!

Pocahontas: Meeko, bring that back!

(Meeko climbs up a tree)

John Smith: No, no, it's alright. He can keep it. Call it a gift.

Pocahontas: What was that?

John Smith: My compass.

Pocahontas: Compass?

John Smith: It warns you how to find your road since you get lost. But it's alright, I'll get another one in London.

Pocahontas: London? Is that your village?

John Smith: Yes, it's a very big village.

Pocahontas: What's this like?

John Smith: Well, it has streets filled with carriages and bridges over the rivers and buildings as tall as trees.

Pocahontas: I'd like to see this stuff.

John Smith: You will.

Pocahontas: How come?

John Smith: We're going to build them here. We'll show your people how to use this land properly. How to make the most of it.

Pocahontas: Make the most of it?

John Smith: Yes, we'll build roads and decent houses and––

Pocahontas: Our houses are fine.

John Smith: You think that, only because you don't know any better. (Pocahontas starts to leave) Wait a moment, don't take it that–––– (Flit attacks him) Hey, hey, wait! Wait, wait! There's so much we can teach you. We've improved the lives of savages all over the world.

Pocahontas: Savages?!

John Smith: Uh, not that you're a savage.

Pocahontas: Just my people.

John Smith: No, listen, that's not what I meant. Let me explain––––

Pocahontas: Let go!

John Smith: No, I'm not letting you leave. Look, don't do this. "Savage" is just a word. You know. A term for...people who are uncivilized.

Pocahontas: Like me.

John Smith: Well, if I say uncivilized, what I mean is––––is...

Pocahontas: What you mean is, not like you. (sings) You think I'm an ignorant savage. And you've been so many places, I guess it must be so. But yet I cannot see, if the savage one is me. How can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know. You think you own whatever land you land on, the earth is just a dead feeling you can claim. But I know every rock and tree and creature. Has a life, has a spirit, has a name. You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger. You'll learn feelings you never knew, you never knew. Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? Or asked the smirking bobcat why he smirked? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of...the wind? Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest, come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth. Come roll in all the riches all around you. And for once, never wonder what they're worth. The rainstorm and the river are my brothers, the heron and the otter are my friends. And we are all connected to each other. In a circle, in a hoop that never ends. How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know. And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, for whether we are white or copper-skinned. We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain, we need to paint with all the colors of the wind. You can own the earth and yet, all you'll own is earth. Until you can paint.....with all the colors.....of...the...wind!

John Smith: What is this?

Pocahontas: The drums. They mean danger. I wouldn't be here.

John Smith: I want to see you again.

Pocahontas: I can't.

John Smith: Please, don't leave.

Pocahontas: I'm sorry. I have to go.

Back at camp/In the cornfield

(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown, dripping rainwater.)

Ben: Alright! This one's ready to hoist!

Lon: Two on each side. Ready now? Push! Watch it, it's slipping!

Ben: C'mon, lads, it's only a little picket fence.

Lon: Easy now, easy!

Ben: There you go!

Thomas: That'll keep everything out, right, John? Something wrong, John?

John Smith: What?

Thomas: You've been awfully silent the last few days.

Lon: Oh, he's just as insane that he missed all the action.

Thomas: Ah, don't worry, John. You'll get your chance to deal with the Indians.

Lon: Yes, we'll take care of them like that we did last time. Right, mates? (singing) We shot ourselves an Injun, or perhaps two or three!

Ben: Alright, you howling nutter, get to work!

Lon: C'mon, Ben. It's just a little fun.

Ben: Oh, sure, we're having loads of fun. Right, look at us. No gold, no food, while Ratcliffe sits up in his tent all day happy as a clam!

(Cut to: Interior, Ratcliffe's tent.)

Ratcliffe: I'm doomed! I should be wallowing in riches right now and I haven't seen so much as a speck! It has to be here somewhere. Where could it be? I've mined the forests and the hills and swamps, and nothing! Why can't I find it? What am I overlooking?

Wiggins: Ah!

Ratcliffe: (gasps)

Wiggins: I...I...I made it myself.

Ratcliffe: Take that, silly...of course, the Indians! Wiggins, why do you think these insolent heathens attacked us?

Wiggins: Because we invaded their land and cut down their trees and dug up their earth?

Ratcliffe: It's the gold! They have it and they don't want us to take it from them. Well, I'll just have to take it by force then, won't I?

(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown settlement, cleared of rain.)

Ratcliffe: You there! Where's Captain Smith?

Lon: Well, he's...gone!

Ben: Aye, your singing would have frightened them away.

Ratcliffe: Well, then go get him, for heaven's sake!

Lon: What if we run into the Indians?

Ratcliffe: That's what guns are for. Now, arm yourselves and get moving!

(Cut to: Exterior, Powhatan cornfield, day.)

Powhatan: Pocahontas! You should be inside the village.

Pocahontas: We'll be alright.

Nakoma: We're gathering food for since the warriors arrive.

Powhatan: Don't go far. Now is not the time to be running away.

Pocahontas: Yes, Father.

Powhatan: If I see you wear that necklace, you look just like your mother.

Pocahontas: I miss her.

Powhatan: But she is yet with us. Wherever the wind blows through the trees, I feel her presence. Our people looked to her for wisdom and strength. Someday, they will look to you as well.

Pocahontas: I would be honored by that.

Powhatan: You shouldn't be out there alone. I'll send for Kocoum. (exits)

Nakoma: Alright, what is this?

Pocahontas: What?

Nakoma: You're hiding something.

Pocahontas: I'm not hiding anything.

Nakoma: Pocahontas, you can warn me, I promise I won't warn anyone––

(John Smith enters)

Nakoma: (gasps) Pocahontas, look! It's one of them! I'm going to get----- (Pocahontas covers Nakoma's mouth)

Pocahontas: What are you doing here?

Nakoma: Mmm?!

John Smith: I had to see you again.

Nakoma: Mmm!

Kocoum: Pocahontas?

Nakoma: Mmm!

Kocoum: Pocahontas?

Pocahontas: Please, don't say anything. Faster, this way!

Nakoma: But–

(Pocahontas and John exit.)

Kocoum: Nakoma, where is Pocahontas?

Nakoma: I...I haven't seen her.

Kocoum: Pocahontas can't keep running away. It's dangerous out there. Warn her that. She listens to you.

Nakoma: Huh, sure she does.

John Smith, Ash, and Friends meets Grandmother Willow

(Cut to: Exterior, Grandmother Willow's glen, day.)

John Smith: This place is incredible! And to think, we came all this fashion just to dig it up for gold.

Pocahontas: Gold?

John Smith: Hey, Meeko.

Pocahontas: What's gold?

John Smith: You know, it's...it's yellow, comes out of the ground, it's really valuable.

Pocahontas: Oh, here, we've lots of it. (Takes out an ear of corn) Gold.

John Smith: No...gold is this. (Takes out a gold coin)

Pocahontas: Huh, there's nothing like that around here.

John Smith: No gold?

Pocahontas: Not that I've seen.

John Smith: (laughs) All this fashion for nothing. These boys are in for a big surprise.

Pocahontas: Will they leave?

John Smith: Some of them might.

Pocahontas: Will you go home?

John Smith: Well, it's not like I have much of a home to go back to. I've never really belonged anywhere.

Pocahontas: You could belong here.

Wind Spirit: (sings) Ay ay ay na ay ay na...

John Smith: What was that?

Pocahontas: Did you see something?

John Smith: No...no, I just, uh...I...I didn't see anything. Did I?

Pocahontas: Look again.

Grandmother Willow: (singing) Let it break upon you like a wave upon the sand! Hello, John Smith.

John Smith: Pocahontas, that tree is speaking to me.

Pocahontas: Then you should speak back.

Grandmother Willow: Don't be frightened, young man. My bark is worse than my bite!

(Two owls roll their eyes.)

Pocahontas: Say something.

John Smith: What do you say to a tree?

Pocahontas: Anything you want.

John Smith: Well, uh...

Grandmother Willow: Come closer, John Smith. He has a brief soul. And he's handsome, as well.

John Smith: Oh, I love her.

Pocahontas: I knew you would.

Ben: (off-screen) Smith? Smith! Where are ya, mate?

John Smith: We can't let them see us.

Grandmother Willow: Faster, over here.

Lon: This place gives me the creeps. Savages could be hiding anywhere.

Ben: Aye, well, if you spot one, don't ask questions. Just shoot.

(Grandmother Willow trips them.)

Ben & Lon: Oh!

Ben: Watch your feet, you big oaf!

Lon: It wasn't me, it was the tree.

Ben: Oh, of course, the tree just felt like lifting its roots and...let's get out of here. Run!

Lon: But what about Smith?

Ben: He's a big lad, he can take care of himself.

(Lon and Ben exit.)

John Smith: I'm glad you're on your side.

Grandmother Willow: There's yet some snap in these old vines.

John Smith: I better get back before they send the entire camp out after me.

Pocahontas: Where will I see you again?

John Smith: Meet me tonight, right here. (exits)

Grandmother Willow: Well, I haven't had this much emotion in 200 years!

Pocahontas: What am I thinking about? I wouldn't be seeing him again. I mean, I want to see him again––

Grandmother Willow: Who wouldn't? I want to see him again.

Pocahontas: But yet, something inside is warning me it's the right feeling.

Grandmother Willow: Maybe it's your dream.

Pocahontas: My dream? Do you think he's the one the spinning arrow was pointing to?

Grandmother Willow: Uh-huh!

Trying to stop the war

[Transition to: Interior, Powhatan camp.]

• NATIVE AMERICAN: Did you see their skin? Pale and sickly.
• NATIVE AMERICAN: They have hair on their faces like dogs.
• POWHATAN: My brothers, we must know more about my daughter's visitors. Kekata, what do you see?
• KEKATA: [Chanting.] These children are not men like us, but strange beasts with bodies that shine like the sun and their friends are creatures with great power. They prowl the earth like ravenous wolves consuming any evil in their path protecting all.
• KOCOUM: Great Powhatan. I will lead our warriors to the river and attack. We will destroy these invaders the way we destroyed the Massawomecks.
• POWHATAN: Kocoum, in that battle we knew how to fight our enemy, but my daughter's visitors are strange to us. Take some men to observe them. Let us hope they are allies and not enemies.

(outside some Native Americans arrive on the river)

• NATIVE AMERICAN: The warriors are here!

[Pocahontas, Ash and his friends arrive.]

• NAKOMA: Pocahontas, are you crazy? What were you doing with that—
• Kocoum: There you are!
• Pocahontas: Kocoum!
• Kocoum: Look at them! Now we have enough warriors to destroy those white demons and wherever those other invaders are, they won't stand a chance against our forces!
• Misty: Kocoum, listen to me! It doesn't need to come to this!
• Kocoum: Yes, it does. Those white men should be lucky Namontack wasn't killed.

Powhatan: Now that we are joined by our brothers, we will defeat this enemy.

(Pocahontas runs to her father.)

Pocahontas: Father, I need to speak with you.

Powhatan: Not now, my daughter. The council is gathering.

Pocahontas: We don't have to fight them! There must be a better fashion.

Powhatan: Sometimes our paths are chosen for us.

Pocahontas: But perhaps we should try speaking to them.

Powhatan: They do not want to speak.

Pocahontas: But if one of them did want to speak, you would listen to him, wouldn't you?

Powhatan: Pocahontas––––

Pocahontas: Wouldn't you?

Powhatan: Of course I would. But that is not this simple. Nothing is simple anymore.

(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown, sunset.)

John Smith: Easy, Thomas. It's me.

Thomas: Oh, John! I would've murdered you!

John Smith: Not aiming like that, you couldn't. Keep both eyes open if you shoot. You'll see twice as well.

Ben: Smith! There ya are!

Lon: We were looking all over for you.

Ratcliffe: SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where have you been?

John Smith: I was out scouting the terrain, sir.

Ratcliffe: Excellent. Then you must know the Indians' whereabouts. We'll need that information for the battle.

John Smith: What battle?

Ratcliffe: We will eliminate these savages once and for all.

John Smith: No! You can't do that!

Ratcliffe: Oh? Can't I?

John Smith: Look, we don't have to fight them.

Thomas: John, what's got into you all of a sudden?

John Smith: I met one of them.

Ben: You what?

Thomas: A savage?

John Smith: They're not savages, they can help us. They know the land, they know how to navigate the rivers. And, look! It's food!

Lon: What is this?

John Smith: It's better than hardtack and gruel, that's for sure.

Wiggins: I like gruel.

Ratcliffe: They don't want to feed us, you ninnies! They want to murder us! All of us! They've had our gold, and they'll do anything to keep it!

John Smith: But there is no gold!

Ben: No...gold?

Ratcliffe: And I suppose your little Indian friend warned you this?

John Smith: Yes.

Ratcliffe: Lies! Lies, all of it! Murderous thieves, there's no room for their kind in civilized society.

John Smith: But this is their land!

Ratcliffe: This is my land! I make the laws here. And I say anyone so much as looks at an Indian without murdering him on sight, will be tried for treason and hanged!

(Cut to: Exterior, Powhatan village, evening.)

Nakoma: Pocahontas!

Pocahontas: Nakoma!

Nakoma: Don't go out there. I lied for you once, don't ask me to do it again.

Pocahontas: I have to do this.

Nakoma: He's one of them!

Pocahontas: You don't know him.

Nakoma: You go out there, you'll be turning your back on your own people.

Pocahontas: I'm trying to help my people.

Nakoma: Pocahontas, please...you're my best friend, I don't want you to get hurt.

Pocahontas: I won't, I know what I'm thinking about.

Nakoma: Pocahontas, no!

(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown settlement, night.)

Ben: ...Ratcliffe wouldn't take us halfway around the world for nothing.

Lon: But what if Smith is right? What if there is no gold?

Englishman: If you ask me, Ratcliffe's been lying to us since we left London.

Ben: Listen to you, you bunch of idiots. These savages didn't attack for nothing, they're hiding something.

Lon: If they do have the gold, I reckon we'll have to fight them.

(Thomas follows John to the edge of the settlement)

Thomas: (gasps)

Ratcliffe: Follow him.

Thomas: Yes, Governor.

Ratcliffe: I want to know where he's sneaking away to.

Thomas: Yes, sir.

Ratcliffe: And if you happen to see any Indians, shoot them. Oh, and Thomas? You've been a slipshod sailor and a poor excuse for a soldier. Don't disappoint me again!

(Cut to: Interior, Kocoum's tent.)

Nakoma: Kocoum?

Kocoum: What is this?

Nakoma: It's Pocahontas.

Kocoum: What's wrong? Is she alright?

Nakoma: I think she's in danger.

Pocahontas and John Smith's kiss/Kocoum's death/Ash and John Smith get captured

(Cut to: Exterior, Grandmother Willow's glen, night.)

Grandmother Willow: The earth is trembling, child. What's going on?

Pocahontas: The warriors are here!

John Smith: Pocahontas!

Pocahontas: John!

John Smith: Listen to me. My men are planning to attack your people. You have to warn them.

Pocahontas: Perhaps it's not useless to stop this. You have to come with me and speak to my father.

John Smith: Pocahontas, speaking isn't going to do any luck. I already tried speaking to my men, but everything about this land has them spooked.

(Percy enters.)

Grandmother Willow: That's the strangest creature that I have ever seen!

(Percy chases Meeko)

John Smith: Percy! Easy now, Percy, come here!

Pocahontas: Meeko, come back!

John Smith: You see what I mean? Once two sides want to fight, nothing can stop them.

Pocahontas: Come, come here! Both of you!

John Smith: It's alright! It's alright, he's a friend. Naughty, naughty dog! Sit!

Pocahontas: What are you doing here? Meeko!

John Smith: Percy, get back here! What are you doing here? Stop that!

Grandmother Willow: ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's enough to make your sap boil. Now then, there's something I want to show you. Look. (Touches a vine to the river's surface)

Pocahontas: The ripples.

John Smith: How about them?

Grandmother Willow: So small at first, then look how they grow. But someone has to start them.

John Smith: They're not going to listen to us.

Grandmother Willow: Young man, sometimes the right path is not the easiest one. Don't you see? Only since the fighting stops, can you be together.

John Smith: Alright, let's go speak to your father.

(Pocahontas and John embrace, but kiss. Kocoum and Thomas are watching.)

Kocoum: Aye-ye-ye-ye-ye-yow!

Pocahontas: (gasps)

(Kocoum attacks John)

Pocahontas: Kocoum, no! Kocoum! Leave him alone! Unh! Kocoum, stop!

(Thomas loads his gun.)

Thomas: (whispering) Both eyes open.

(Thomas shoots. Kocoum falls.)

Pocahontas: (gasps)

John Smith: Thomas!

Thomas: Is he...?

Pocahontas: You murdered him!

Thomas: I thought that–––

Pocahontas: Get away from him!

John Smith: Pocahontas, it won't help! He was only––––

Pocahontas: He murdered him!

Native American warriors: (shouting)

John Smith: Thomas, get out of here. Get out of range!

(Thomas exits. John is captured.)

(Cut to: Exterior, Powhatan village, night.)

Powhatan: Who did this?

Native American warrior: Pocahontas was out in the woods. Kocoum went to find her, and this white man attacked them! In addition, we caught this boy who can be useful in Kocoum's role.

Powhatan: Your weapons are strong, but now our frustration is stronger. At sunrise, he will be the first to die!

Pocahontas: But Father!

Powhatan: I warned you to stay in the village. You disobeyed me. You have disgraced your father!

Pocahontas: I was only trying to help.

Powhatan: Because of your foolishness, Kocoum is dead! Take him away. (exits)

• Powhatan: We have suspected your kind might be in trouble. We were right to see you as threats and so you'll pay for what you have done to one of my best warriors.
• Ash: Try your worst.
• Powhatan: There's nothing I can do now, but if you wish to value your life, you and your friends will join us at war, if not the white man will perish. And if that's true that he becomes the first person to die, that man and his ilk will pay for killing my finest warrior.
• Ash: I’ll take this punishment, just as long as you let me keep my honor.
• Powhatan: Very well. You have until sunrise to make your choice. Release him.

(One Native American Warrior approached the tied-up Ash and used his dagger to cut his hands free. Ash heads toward Pocahontas and the others)

• POCAHONTAS: Kocoum was just coming to protect me.
• NAKOMA: Pocahontas, I sent Kocoum after you. I was worried about you. I thought I was doing the right thing.
• POCAHONTAS: All of this happened because of me… And now I’ll never see John Smith again.
• Ash: And now we have no choice but to use our Pokémon to hurt people.
• Nakoma: No. Kekata told me you’d never do that. He told me you use Pokémon for peace. I told Kocoum not to harm you all. Kekata said to me to tell you that the best thing you can do is run away.
• Misty: On one condition: that we see John Smith one last time.
• NAKOMA: Come with me.

If I never knew you/Prepare for War/The Spinning Arrow

[Cut to: Exterior, the prison tent, Powhatan village.]

• NAKOMA: Pocahontas and her visitors wants to look into the eyes of the man who killed Kocoum.
• NATIVE AMERICAN WARRIOR: Be quick.

(Pocahontas, Ash and his friends enters tent and see John Smith)

• JOHN SMITH: Pocahontas!
• POCAHONTAS: We're so sorry.
• JOHN SMITH: For what, this? I’ve gotten out of worse scrapes than this. Can’t think of any right now, but…
• POCAHONTAS: It would’ve been better if we’d never met, none of this would’ve happened.
• JOHN SMITH: Pocahontas, look at me. I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you.

(singing) If I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be

If I never held you

I would never have a clue

How at last I'd find in you

The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear

Full of rage and lies

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes

So dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

Pocahontas:

I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night

But still my heart is saying we were right

For if I never knew you

John Smith:

There's no moment I regret

Pocahontas:

If I never knew this love

John Smith:

Since the moment that we met

Pocahontas:

I would have no inkling of

John Smith:

If our time has gone too fast

Pocahontas:

How precious life can be...

John Smith:

I've lived at last...

[Nakoma looks into tent.]

• NAKOMA: Pocahontas?
• Simba: Time to leave.
• POCAHONTAS: I can’t leave you.
• JOHN SMITH: You never will. No matter what happens to me, I’ll always be with you. Forever.

[Pocahontas, Ash and the others exits.]

John Smith:

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Empty as the sky

Pocahontas:

Never knowing why

John Smith and Pocahontas:

Lost forever

If I never knew you

[Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown settlement, night.]

• THOMAS: Help, somebody, help! Help, help!
• LON: Easy, lad. What is it?
• THOMAS: It’s Smith! They got him!
• BEN: Who got him?
• THOMAS: The savages!
• ENGLISHMAN: Savages?
• THOMAS: They captured him, dragged him off!
• BEN: Where’d they take him?
• THOMAS: They headed North!
• LON: How many were there?
• THOMAS: I don’t know, at least a dozen.
• BEN: Filthy beasts!
• RATCLIFFE: It’s perfect, Wiggins! I couldn’t have planned this better myself. The gold is as good as mine!
• THOMAS: We’ve got to save him! He’d do the same for any of us.
• BEN: Thomas is right! We’ve got to do something.
• RATCLIFFE: And so we shall! I told you those savages couldn’t be trusted. Smith tried to befriend them, and look what they’ve done to him. But now I say it’s time to rescue our courageous comrade. At daybreak, we attack!

(singing) What can you expect

From filthy little heathens

Here’s what you get when races are diverse

Their skin’s a hellish red

They’re only good when dead

They’re vermin as they said and worse

They’re

ENGLISHMEN:

Savages, savages

RATCLIFFE:

Barely even human

ENGLISHMEN:

Savages, savages

RATCLIFFE:

Drive them to our shore

They’re not like you and me

Which means they must be evil

We must sound the drums of war

ENGLISHMEN

They’re savages, savages

Dirty shrieking devils

Now we sound the drums of war

[Transition to: Exterior, Powhatan village, night.]

POWHATAN This is what we feared

The Paleface is a demon

The only thing they feel at all is greed

KEKATA

Beneath that milky hide

There’s emptiness inside

NATIVE AMERICAN WARRIORS

I wonder if they even bleed

NATIVE AMERICANS

They’re savages, savages

POWHATAN

Barely even human

NATIVE AMERICANS

Savages, savages

POWHATAN

Killers at the core

KEKATA They’re different from us

Which means they can’t be trusted

POWHATAN

We must sound the drums of war

NATIVE AMERICANS

They’re savages, savages

First we deal with this one

Then we sound the drums of war

ALL

Savages, savages

BEN

Let’s go get a few men

ALL

Savages, savages

RATCLIFFE

Now it’s up to you, men

ALL

Savages, savages

Barely even human

Now we sound the drums of war!

[Cut to: Exterior, Grandmother Willow’s glen, early morning.]

• Ash Ketchum: (to Grandmother Willow) And that's the whole story. Unless we use our Pokémon to hurt people, they'll kill him at sunrise.
• GRANDMOTHER WILLOW: You have to stop them.
• POCAHONTAS: We can’t.
• GRANDMOTHER WILLOW: Child, remember your dream?
• POCAHONTAS: I was wrong, Grandmother Willow. I followed the wrong path. I feel so lost. [Meeko gives her John’s compass.] The compass? Spinning arrow!
• GRANDMOTHER WILLOW: It’s the arrow from your dream!
• POCAHONTAS: I was right! It was pointing to him. [Sunlight hits her face.] Sunrise!
• Misty: We won't make it in time!
• Brock: They’ll be ready to do John Smith away!
• GRANDMOTHER WILLOW: It’s not too late, children. Let the spirits of the earth guide you! You know your path, children… Now follow it!

[Transition to Exterior, the English marching, morning.]

RATCLIFFE

This will be the day

Let’s go, men!

[Cut to: Exterior, Powhatan village, morning.]

POWHATAN

This will be the morning

Bring out the prisoner!

ENGLISH & NATIVE AMERICANS

We will see them dying in the dust

[Intercuts between: Pocahontas, the English and the Native Americans.]

POCAHONTAS

I don’t know what I can do

Still I know I’ve got to try

ENGLISH & NATIVE AMERICANS

Now we make them pay

POCAHONTAS

Eagle help my feet to fly

ENGLISH & NATIVE AMERICANS

Now without a warning

POCAHONTAS

Mountain, help my heart be great

ENGLISH & NATIVE AMERICANS

Now we leave them blood and bone and dust

POCAHONTAS

Spirits of the earth and sky

ENGLISH & NATIVE AMERICANS

It’s them or us

POCAHONTAS

Please don’t let it be too late

ENGLISH & NATIVE AMERICANS

They’re just a bunch of filthy, stinking

Savages, savages

Demons, devils, kill them

Savages, savages

What are we waiting for?

Destroy their evil race

Until there’s not a trace left

POCAHONTAS

How loud are the drums of war

ENGLISH & NATIVE AMERICANS

We will sound the drums of war

Savages, savages

Now we sound the drums of war

Now we see what comes

Of trying to be chums

(Now we sound the drums of)

POCAHONTAS

Is the death of all I love

Carried in the drumming of

ENGLISH & NATIVE AMERICANS

War!

• POCAHONTAS: NoooooOOOO!!!!

Saving John Smith

(Pocahontas throws herself on top of John Smith. Ash, Misty, Brock and the rest of the gang step in front).

• Misty: Stay away from our friend!

(The Indians and Ash's group stare at each other. Powhatan stares at them and his daughter in a disappointed look)

• Pocahontas: If you kill him, you'll have to kill me too.
• Chief Powhatan: Daughter, stand back.
• Pocahontas: I won't! I love him father.
• Chief Powhatan: (to Ash) So, young Man, have you made your decision?
• Ash Ketchum: We have! We decided to help your daughter bring peace!

(everyone is amazed at Ash's decision)

• Brock: (to both sides) You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Do you really think this war is going to solve everything?
• Taran: Powhatan, listen to us. It doesn't have to be like this.
• Princess Eilonwy: Is this what Kocoum would've wanted?
• Chief Powhatan: Kocoum is dead!
• Simba: (steps up; calmly) Chief Powhatan, I know that the death of your finest warrior has hurt you and your people immensely, but this war isn't gonna change anything. Trust me. I know. I've been there. I've gone through a situation like this before. But through the words of wisdom from my daughter, I've learned that war isn't the answer to my problems. If you kill John Smith like that, many more people will die. And that'll lay madness if the blood of an innocent person is shed to avenge that of another.
• Pocahontas: Look around you! This is where the path of hatred has brought us! This is the path I choose, father. What will yours be?
• Simba: Your daughter knows what she's saying. The tribe and the settlers were never meant to hurt each other, and fighting would only make things worse for both sides. Your tribe and the settlers. Think about it. What would you gain if you fought in this battle? Would you really earn peace? Victory? Through violence? Through war? Through hatred and anger? Through senseless bloodshed? (Powhatan is a full loss for words as Simba sighs) Look, don't make the same mistake I made years ago. I didn't know what path I was on until my own daughter showed me.
• Ash: Simba's right, Powhatan. A friend of mine learned that lesson the hard way. He once thought that humanity was like a virus that needed to be destroyed. He created clones of Pokémon and led a war between them and ours. But the war was too much for both sides. So, I sacrificed myself to stop the war. So, don't let the settlers…Don’t let Pocahontas and your people... Don't let both sides suffer my fate. I didn't want your wife to see the chief becoming responsible for the unnecessary deaths of many more people.

(the wind blows around Powhatan as if Pocahontas's mother is on their side, Powhatan lifts his staff)

• Chief Powhatan: (to his warriors) My daughter and the young lad speak with the wisdom beyond their years. We have all come here with anger in our hearts, but they come with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me. (Pocahontas is happy to hear that as she looks to John Smith) Release him.

(One Native American Warrior approaches the tied-up John Smith and uses his dagger to cut his hands free. A happy Pocahontas embraces John Smith with a hug.)

• Pikachu: (happy) Pika, Pi!

(Pikachu embraces Ash, with the rest of his friends smiling happy as they help avert war for both the English Settlers and the Powhatan Tribe. Nakoma grins happy with relief, while a surprised Thomas, Ben, and Lon lowerr their rifles, with the Native American Warrior troops lowering their arrows as well. However, the untouched Ratcliffe doesn't comply)

• Governor Ratcliffe: Now's our chance! (pulls out his sword) Fire!
• Thomas: No!
• Governor Ratcliffe: What?
• Thomas: They let him go!
• Ben: They don't want to fight!
• Governor Ratcliffe: It's a trick, don't you see? Fire!
• Simba: (calmly) Let it go, Ratcliffe. It's time to put the past behind us.
• Governor Ratcliffe: I'll NEVER let it go!
• Taran: You have to, Ratcliffe! This is wrong and you know it!
• Princess Eilonwy: This war will not change anything.
• Governor Ratcliffe: Why do you fools care? You're just like all of those savage vermin! Always taking everything and ruining it all for me!
• Grandpa Longneck: No, Ratcliffe! You're the one who's being a fool!
• Grandma Longneck: There's no such thing as a savage, Ratcliffe. The Indian tribe are just another group of human beings like you and everybody else. You've brought this war upon yourself!
• Brock: The settlers came here for only one important reason: to build a settlement. But you only came here for gold and to slaughter an Indian tribe!

(Thomas, Ben, and Lon look stern at Ratcliffe as they refuse to follow his orders. Ratcliffe is frustrated over his men's defiance before taking a rifle from one his soldiers)

• Governor Ratcliffe: Fine! I'll settle this myself! (points his gun at Chief Powhatan)
• John Smith: (pushes the chief aside) Noooooo!

(Ratcliffe fires his gun and the shot hits John Smith)

• Thomas: JOHN!!!
• Ash's gang: MR. SMITH!!!
• Ash Ketchum: No!
• Pikachu: Pika Pika!

(Pocahontas is horrified of what she experienced as John falls to the ground as she swiftly runs to him. Ratcliffe then realizes his mistake as he shot John willingly in front of his own troops)

• Thomas: You shot him!
• Governor Ratcliffe: He stepped right–––right into it! It's his own fault!
• Simba: (roars louder) THAT'S ENOUGH, RATCLIFFE!!
• Nala: We don't want to hear any more of your lies!
• Ben: Smith was right all along!
• Lon: We never should have listened to you!
• Simba: SEIZE HIM!!!
• Ben: Get the gun!
• Ash Ketchum: You!!!!

(Ash lunges at Ratcliffe and attacks him)

• Pikachu: PIKA!!!!!

(The English Settlers then begin to seize Ratcliffe)

• Governor Ratcliffe: Traitors! (gets restrained) Unhand me, I say! How dare you!
• Brock: And we'll be taking that, you back-stabbing traitor!
• Thomas: (grabs the gun from Ratcliffe) Put him in chains!
• Governor Ratcliffe: I'll see you all hanged for this!
• Thomas: And gag him as well!
• Taran: Tie him up good and tight too!

(He turns his attention up to the wounded John Smith as he ran up. Pocahontas and her father Chief Powhatan tend to the wounded John Smith).

John Smith and Pocahontas's Goodbye/Ending

(We then see the English Settlers at the coast to where their ship is. Thomas walks towards Ben and Lon as they place the wounded John Smith on a dingy.)

Ben: Is he going to make it, Thomas?

Thomas: The sooner he gets to England, the better.

Lon: Well, let's hope the wind is with him.

Thomas: Is the ship ready yet?

Ben: Any minute now. Just loading the last bit of cargo.

(We see the "cargo" is a chained up and gagged Ratcliffe as two of the English Settlers toss him on board a dingy board)

Governor Ratcliffe: (muffled speaking) How dare you! Untie me at once! I'll have your head for this!

(The English Settler pushes his dingy to the water where he is rowed off to be taken back to England to stand trial, with his former minion, Wiggins watching)

Wiggins: (sniffling) And he came so highly recommended. (sighing)

Princess Eilonwy: Huh! Serves him right!

Misty: Hopefully, he'll get a life sentence from the king for committing treachery against the settlers.

(Cut to Thomas and John)

Thomas: The ship's almost ready. We'd better get you on board. We'll lose the tide.

John Smith: No, not yet. She said she'd be here.

Thomas: Look.

(Pocahontas arrives)

Thomas: Going back is his only chance. He'll die if he stays here.

Pocahontas: Here. It's from Grandmother Willow's bark. It'll help with the pain.

Pikachu: (sadly) Pika...

John Smith: What pain? I've had worse agony than this. Can't think of any right now, but...

Powhatan: You are always welcome among our people. Thank you all, my brother.

John Smith: (To Flit) I thought you didn't like strangers.

(Meeko, Percy and Flit present Pocahontas' fixed necklace)

Pocahontas: My mother's necklace.

John Smith: Farewell, Percy. (To Pocahontas) Come with me?

Powhatan: To you, travelers... I apologize for what happened earlier.  You are also welcome among our people, for making peace between my people and the settlers.  And to you Ash…you made a generous sacrifice for your teammates. That's nice of you indeed and one of the many strong virtues of a leader…a leader worthy of looking out for his friends and putting them in front of his own needs. Very well done.

Ash Ketchum: Why, thank you, Great Powhatan.

Powhatan: You're welcome. You must choose your own path.

Pocahontas: I'm needed here.

John Smith: Then I'll stay with you.

Pocahontas: No, you have to go back.

John Smith: But I can't leave you.

Pocahontas: You never will. No matter what happens, I'll always be with you. Forever. (sings) And I'm so grateful to you.

John Smith: (singing) I have lived my entire life through!

Lon: Farewell, lad.

Thomas; Godspeed, John.
