Editing Ash Ketchum Meets Robin Hood/Transcript (section)

==Opening==

* Alan-A-Dale: You know, there's been a heap of tall tales about Robin Hood. All different too. Well, we folks of the animal kingdom have our version. It's the story of what really happened in Sherwood Forest.
(The opening credits start playing. After that, we fade back to Alan-A-Dale in the book.)

Alan-A-Dale: Oh, coincidentally, I'm Allan-A-Dale, a minstrel. That's an early-day folk singer. And my job is to tell it like it is or was or whatever.

(We fade to Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest.)

'''Alan A'Dale:''' ''(singing)'' ''Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest''

''Laughin' back and forth at what the other one has to say''

''Reminiscin' this and that and havin' such a good time''

''Oo- de-lally, oo-de-lally Golly, what a day''

''Never ever thinkin' there was danger in the water''

''they were drinkin' They just guzzled it down''

''Never dreamin' that a schemin' sheriff and his posse''

''Was a-watchin'them and gatherin' around''

''Robin Hood and Little John runnin' through the forest''

''Jumpin' fences, dodgin' trees and tryin' to get away''

''Contemplatin' nothin' but escape and finally makin' it''

''Oo- de-lally, oo-de-lally Golly, what a day''

''Oo- de-lally, oo-de-lally Golly, what a day.''

Little John: You know something, Robin? You're taking too many chances.

Robin Hood: Chances? You must be joking. That was just a little bit of lark, Little Jon.

Little John: Yeah? Take a look. at your hat. That's not a candle on a cake.

Robin Hood: (takes off his hat) Hello. This one almost has my name on it, didn't it? (sighing) They're getting better, you know. You've got to admit. They are getting better.

Little John: Huh, yeah. The next time that sheriff'll probably have a rope around our necks. (gagging) Pretty hard to laugh hangin' there, Rob.

Robin Hood: Ha! The sheriff and his posse couldn't lift you off the ground. (throws the arrow) En garde!

Little John: Hey, watch it, Rob. That's the only hat I've got.

Robin Hood: Oh, come along. You're worry too much, old boy.

Little John: You know something, Robin? I was just wondering. Are we good guys or bad guys? You know. I mean, uh, our robbing the rich to feed the poor.

Robin Hood: "Rob?" (clicking tongue) That's a naughty word. We never rob. We just... sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.

Little John: Borrow? Huh. Boy, are we in debt?

* '''Ash Ketchum: '''Hungry. Need food.
* Pikachu: Pika....

(Ash and Pikachu collapse from hunger)

* Brock and Misty: Ash!!!
* (Robin and Little John look down from the tree to see what's going on.)
* Robin Hood: Say, who do we have here?
* Little John: Why, there's some human kids.
* Robin Hood: Let's meet them, Little John.
(Robin Hood and Little John get down from the tree to meet them)


(Just then the fanfare is heard from the distance. The heroes among with Robin Hood and Little John look from the tree leaves.)

Pikachu: Pi?

Scooby-Doo: Huh?

Scrappy-Doo: What was that?

Shaggy: Like, is that a parade?

Ash Ketchum: I don't think so, Shaggy. It sounds more like a royal march.

Robin Hood: Ho-ho-ho! (laughs) That sounds like another collection day for the poor. Eh, Johnny boy?

Little John: Yeah, sweet charity.

Misty: Who's the king?

Robin Hood: Oh, he's not really a king, Misty. That's King Richard's brother Prince John.

Heroes: Prince John?

Little John: Yep, all he cares about is himself. So, you kids better watch out for him because otherwise he'll chop off your heads if you get in his way.

Robin Hood: King Richard is a very kind ruler unlike his greedy brother. He's away on a crusade that's why we're bringing the money to feed the poor.

(The soldiers march then we pan to inside the royal coach where Prince John, Sir Hiss are with the villains.)

Prince John: Taxes! (laughs) Taxes! Beautiful, lovely taxes! (laughing)

Sir Hiss: Sire, you have an absolute skill for encouraging contributions from the poor. (chuckles)

Prince John: To coin a phrase, my dear counselor, rob the poor to feed the rich. (snickering) Am I right? Tell me, what is the next stop, Sir Hiss?

Sir Hiss: (looks at the map) Uh, let me see. Uh, I... Oh! Yes, the next stop is Nottingham, sire.

Prince John: Oh! The richest plum of them all. Notting... (chuckles) ...ham. (puts on the crown)

Meowth: Why, that's a perfect fit.

Sir Hiss: Oh, yes, most becoming. You look regal, dignified, sincere, masterful, noble, chival...

Prince John: Uh, uh, don't... don't overdo it, Hiss. There. That, I believe does it. This crown gives me a feeling of power! Power! Forgive me a cruel chuckle. (chuckles) Power, Hmm.

Sir Hiss: And how well King Richard's crown sits on your noble brow.

Prince John: Doesn't it? (suddenly becomes angry) Uh, King Richard? Look, I've told you never to mention my brother's name!

Sir Hiss: (stuttering) A mere slip of the forked tongue, Your Majesty. We're in this plot together, if you don't mind my saying so. And remeber, it was your idea I hypnotized and...

Prince John; I know. And sent him off on that crazy crusade. (laughs with the other villains)

Sir Hiss: Much to the sorrow of the Queen Mother.

* Prince John: (crying) Yes! Mother always did like Richard best.

(He sucks his thumb which annoys Hiss and the other villains.)

* Meowth: (rolls his eyes) Oh, brother.
* Jessie: He's such a baby.
* James: Oh, tell me about it.
* Penguin: Why don't you grow up?
* Sir Hiss: Penguin's right, your highness. Please, don't do that. If you don't mind us saying so. You see, you have a very loud thumb. (hypnotizing him) Hypnotism could rid you of your psychosis...so easily.
* Prince John: (gasps) No! None of that! None of that.
* Sir Hiss: Well, I was only trying help.
* Prince John: (sarcastically) I wonder. Silly serpent.
* Sir Hiss: "Silly serpent?"
* Prince John: Now look here. One more, one more hiss out of you...(stammering) Hiss, and you are walking to Nottingham.
* Sir Hiss: Snakes don't walk. They slither. Hmph. So there.
