Ash Ketchum Meets The Hunchback of Notre Dame/Transcript

Here's a transcript of the remake version of Ash Ketchum Meets The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Opening/"Bells of Notre Dame"[edit | edit source]

The Announcer: And now it's for Patchy's Pick, hosted by the great adventure host of all time, Patchy the Pirate.
Patchy the Pirate: Ahoy, fellow fanatics! Welcome to Patchy's Pick. Why don't come on back to the galley, I got a little treat for you today. We're gonna see me favorite adventure film, "Ash Ketchum Meets The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Ta-da!
Potty: Boring!
Patchy the Pirate: Well, If it isn't my less-than-amusing sidekick, Potty the Parrot. Potty, say hello to the nice people.
Potty: Bawk! I'm being held here against my will––help!
Patchy the Pirate: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh... Oh, Potty come back! Potty? Potty? Were'd you go? Potty, you in here, buddy?

(Then the screen reveals that Patchy is in a cannon that is pointing outside the window)

Potty: [laughs and squawking] Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.
Patchy the Pirate: Get me out of here, you scurvy bird! [The cannon blasts Patchy out and Patchy screams; he lands in a neighboring house which sinks like a boat. Patchy returns, still smoking from the cannon blast] Well, roll the film.

(The film begins a countdown and then it plays, as the Walt Disney Pictures logo fades off the screen, the chorus heard in the background mixes with the bells of Notre Dame cathedral ringing. A long zoom in through the city until we reach the Clopin singing to a group of children watching his puppet show.)

[Clopin]

Morning in Paris, the city awakes

Through the Bells of Notre Dame

The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes

Through the Bells of Notre Dame

To the big bells as loud as the thunder

To the little bells as soft as psalm

And some say the soul of the city's toll of the bells

The Bells of Notre Dame

Clopin: Listen, they're beautiful, no? So many colors of sounds, so many changing moods. Because, you know, they don't ring all by themselves.
Puppet: They don't?!?
Clopin: No, silly boy. Up there, high, high in the dark bell tower, lives the mysterious bell ringer. Who is this creature?
Puppet: Who?
Clopin: What is he?
Puppet: What?
Clopin: How did he come to be there?
Puppet: How?
Clopin: Hush!
Puppet: Ohhh...
Clopin: And Clopin will tell you. It is a tale, a tale of a man and a monster!

(A wipe to a dark night. A band of gypsies quietly proceeding down the Seine, hoping to avoid detection. A baby in the woman's arms begins to cry.)

[Clopin]

Dark was the night when our tale was begun on the docks near Notre Dame

Gypsy 1: Shut it up, will you!
Gypsy 2: We'll be spotted!
Gypsy Mother: Hush, little one!

[Clopin]

Four frightened gypsies slid silently under the docks near Notre Dame

Boatman: Four gilers for safe passage into Paris.

[Clopin]

But a trap had been layed for the gypsies

And they gazed up in fear and alarm

At a figure who's clutches were iron as much as the bells

Gypsy 1: Judge Claude Frollo!

[Clopin]

The Bells of Notre Dame

[Chorus]

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

[Clopin]

Judge Claude Frollo longed to purge the world of vice and sin

[Chorus]

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

[Clopin]

And he saw corruption everywhere except within

Judge Claude Frollo: Bring these gypsy vermin to the Palace of Justice.
Guard: (To mother) You there! What are you hiding!?!
Judge Claude Frollo: Stolen goods, no doubt. Take them from her.
Clopin: She ran!

(As the gypsy mother tries to escape with her baby, Judge Frollo gives chase on horseback. She reaches the doors of Notre Dame and pounds on them.)

Gypsy Mother: Sanctuary! Please give us sanctuary! (her last words)

(Frollo finally catches up to her on the steps of the cathedral. He rips the still covered bundle from her arms, and kicks her in the face, sending her crashing to the cement steps, where she is knocked unconscious. The baby begins to cry.)

Judge Claude Frollo: A baby?

(Frollo uncovers the baby's head, seeing the deformed infant.)

Judge Claude Frollo: A monster!

(He looks around, searching for a way to dispose of the creature. He sees a well, and rides over to it. He is about to drop the baby down the well when a voice (a lightning flash between Clopin and the Archdeacon) shouts out.)

Archdeacon: Stop!
Clopin: Cried the archdeacon.
Judge Claude Frollo: This is an unholy demon. I'm sending it back to hell, where it belongs!

[Archdeacon]

See there the innocent blood you have spilt

On the steps of Notre Dame

Judge Claude Frollo: I am guiltless. She ran, I pursued.

[Archdeacon]

Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt

On the steps of Notre Dame?

Judge Claude Frollo: My conscience is clear

[Archdeacon]

You can lie to yourself and your minions

You can claim that you haven't a qualm

But you never can run from nor hide what you've done from the eyes

The very eyes of Notre Dame

[Chorus]

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

[Clopin]

And for one time in his life

Of power and control

[Chorus]

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

[Clopin]

Frollo felt a twinge of fear

For his immortal soul

Judge Claude Frollo: What must I do?
Archdeacon: Care for the child, and raise it as your own
Judge Claude Frollo: What? I'm to be settled with this misshapen…? Very well. Let him live with you, in your church.
Archdeacon: Live here? Where?
Judge Claude Frollo: Anywhere.

[Judge Claude Frollo]

Just so he's kept locked away where no one else can see

Judge Claude Frollo: The bell tower, perhaps. And who knows? Our Lord works in mysterious ways

[Judge Claude Frollo]

Even this foul creature may

Yet prove one day to be

Of use to me

(scene changes to puppet show)

Clopin: And Frollo gave the child a cruel name. A name that means half-formed... Quasimodo!

[Clopin]

Now here is a riddle to guess if you can

Sing the bells of Notre Dame

Who is the monster and who is the man?

Clopin and Chorus:

Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells

Bells, bells, bells, bells

[Clopin]

Bells of Notre Dame!

(We have wiped from watching Clopin's puppet show to the actual bells ringing in the tower, and the back of this mysterious Quasimodo ringing them. As we end on a beautiful shot of the bells ringing, and the word "Dame" is sung with the cymbal crash, the title "Ash Ketchum Meets The Hunchback of Notre Dame" appears onscreen.)

Meet Quasimodo/Ash and his friends came to Paris/"Out There"[edit | edit source]

(We fly down to an exterior with the frozen forms of Victor and Hugo, with a bird's nest in his mouth, on the balcony. As Quasimodo comes out, the bird awakens.)

Quasimodo: Good morning!

(The bird squeaks its approval.)

Quasimodo: Will today be the day? Are you ready to fly?

(The bird squeaks its disapproval.)

Quasimodo: You sure? Good day to try. Why, if I picked a day to fly, oh, this would be it! The Festival of Fools! It will be fun--the jugglers, and music, and dancing...

(The bird, who had been resting in Quasi's hand, has begun to flap its wings. Quasi slowly removes his hands until the bird is hovering in place. He chuckles and shows his hands to the bird, who finally realizes that it is flying. It squeaks an approval, then a question, as a flock of birds fly by.)

Quasimodo: Go on! Nobody wants to be cooped up here forever!

(The bird flies off to join the flock. We go back to Notre Dame, Hugo, and later, Victor, come to life. Hugo spits out the nest.)

Hugo: Oh, man! I thought he'd never leave! I'll be spitting feathers for a week!
Victor: Well, that's what you get for sleeping with your mouth open.
Hugo: (chuckles sarcastically) Heh, heh, heh...go scare a nun!
Hugo: Hey, Quasi! What's going on out there? A fight? A flogging?
Victor: A festival!
Hugo: You mean the Feast of Fools!?!
Quasimodo: Uh huh!
Hugo: All right, all right! Pour the wine and cut the cheese!

(Hugo makes farting noises in his armpit.)

Victor: It is a treat to watch the colorful pageantry of the simple peasant folk.
Hugo: Boy, nothin' like balcony seats for watching the ol' F.O.F.
Quasimodo: (dejected) Yeah, watching.

(Quasi turns and leaves, obviously sad.)

Hugo: Oh, look--a mime.

(Hugo hocks up a phlegm in his throat, and is about to spit, when Victor covers his mouth. Hugo is forced to swallow his prize. They proceed inside to Quasimodo. Laverne catches up to them.)

Hugo: Hey, hey, what gives?
Victor: Aren't you going to watch the festival with us?
Hugo: I don't get it.
Victor: Perhaps he's sick!
Laverne: Impossible. If 20 years of listening to you two hasn't made him sick by now, nothing will.
Victor: But watching the Festival of Fools has always been the highlight of the year for Quasimodo.
Laverne: What good is watching the party if you never get to go near it? (Birds have begun to roost on Laverne. She waves them away.) Get away from me, go on, you bunch of buzzards! He's not made of stone, like us.

(Meanwhile)

-
Frollo: Stop
(They stopped)
Ash Ketchum: Who? Us?
Frollo: I never seen you before. Your names?
-
-
-
-
-
-
Archdeacon: Frollo, these children are visitors. Treat them like guests and give them sanctuary. (to Ash and his friends) Do not worry. Minister Frollo learned many years ago to respect the sanctity of the cathedral.

-

(Laverne goes to Quasi, who is at his table with a model of the city and small toys painted like townspeople.)

Laverne: Quasi, what's wrong? You wanna tell old Laverne all about it?
Quasimodo: I...I just don't feel like watching the festival, that's all.
Laverne: Well, did you ever think about going there instead?
Quasimodo: Sure. But, I'd never fit in out there. I'm not...normal.
Laverne: Oh, Quasi, Quasi, Quasi. (She pauses as the birds have returned to perch on her again. - To birds:) Do you mind? I would like to have a moment with the boy, if it's all right with you!
Hugo: (To Quasi:) Hey, quit beating around the bell tower. Whadda we gotta do? Paint you a fresco?
Victor: As your friends and guardians, we insist you attend the festival.
Quasimodo: Me?

(Enter Hugo, with a figurine of a Pope, from Quasi's tabletop scene.)

Hugo: No, the Pope. Of course, you!

(Victor shoves the Pope figurine in Quasi's mouth.)

Victor: It would be a veritable potpourri of educational experience.

(Hugo pulls the figurine out of Quasi's mouth.)

Hugo: Wine, women and song!
Victor: You can learn to identify various regional cheeses!
Hugo: Bobbing for snails!
Victor: And the indigenous folk music.
Hugo: Playing dunk the monk!
Laverne: Quasi, take it from an old spectator. Life's not a spectator sport. If watching's all you're gonna do, then you're gonna watch your life go by without you.
Hugo: Yeah, you're human, with the flesh, and the hair, and the navel lint. We're just part of the architecture, right Victor?
Victor: Yet, if you chip us, will we not flake? If you moisten us, do we not grow moist?
Laverne: Quasi, just grab a fresh tunic and a clean pair of hose and--
Quasimodo: Thanks for the encouragement, but you're all forgetting one thing.
Gargoyles: What?
Quasimodo: My master, Frollo.
Gargoyles: (dejectedly) Oh, that's right. (etc.)
Victor: Well, when he says you're forbidden from ever leaving the bell tower, does he mean "ever ever?"
Quasimodo: Never ever! And he hates the Feast of Fools! He'd be furious if I asked to go.
Hugo: Who says you gotta ask?
Quasimodo: Oh, no.
Hugo: Ya' sneak out...
Laverne: It's just one afternoon...
Quasimodo: I couldn't--
Hugo: ...and ya' sneak back in.
Laverne: He'll never know you were gone.
Quasimodo: I mean, if I got caught--
Victor: Better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.
Quasimodo: He might see me.
Hugo: You could wear a disguise. Just this once. What Frollo doesn't know can't hurt you!
Victor: Ignorance is bliss.
Hugo: (aside) Look who's talking...
Laverne: Nobody wants to stay cooped up here forever.

(Quasi thinks for a moment, then a smile creeps across his face.)

Quasimodo: You're right! I'll go! (The gargoyles cheer.) I'll get cleaned up. (Another cheer) I'll stroll down those stairs. (Another cheer) I'll march through the doors and--

(Quasi and the gargoyles have been advancing on the door leading downstairs. As Quasi nears it, Frollo suddenly appears in the doorway, cutting Quasi short and returning the gargoyles to stone.)

Judge Claude Frollo: Good morning, Quasimodo.
Quasimodo: Ah--um, good...morning, master.
Judge Claude Frollo: Dear boy, whomever are you talking to?
Quasimodo: My...friends.
Judge Claude Frollo: I see. (He taps Victor on the head.) And what are your friends made of, Quasimodo?
Quasimodo: Stone.
Judge Claude Frollo: Can stone talk?
Quasimodo: No, it can't.
Judge Claude Frollo: That's right. You're a smart lad. Now...lunch.

(Upon hearing the word, Quasi goes off and retrieves a table setting--a silver chalice and plate for Frollo and a wooden cup and plate for himself.)

Judge Claude Frollo: Shall we review your alphabet today?
Quasimodo: Oh. Yes, master. I would like that very much.
Judge Claude Frollo: Very well. A?
Quasimodo: Abomination.
Judge Claude Frollo: B?
Quasimodo: Blasphemy.
Judge Claude Frollo: C?
Quasimodo: C-c-c-contrition.
Judge Claude Frollo: D?
Quasimodo: Damnation.
Judge Claude Frollo: E?
Quasimodo: Eternal damnation!
Judge Claude Frollo: Good. F?
Quasimodo: Festival.

(Frollo spits out his drink at the incorrect response.)

Judge Claude Frollo: Excuse me?
Quasimodo: Forgiveness!
Judge Claude Frollo: You said...festival.
Quasimodo: No!
Judge Claude Frollo: You are thinking about going to the festival.
Quasimodo: It's just that...you go every year.
Judge Claude Frollo: I am a public official. I must go! But I don't enjoy a moment. Thieves and hustlers and the dregs of humankind, all mixed together in a shallow, drunken stupor.
Quasimodo: I didn't mean to upset you, master.
Judge Claude Frollo: Quasimodo, can't you understand? When your heartless mother abandoned you as a child, anyone else would have drowned you. And this my thanks for taking you in and raising you as my son?
Quasimodo: I'm sorry, sir.
Judge Claude Frollo: Oh, my daring Quasimodo, you don't know what it's like out there. I do...I do...

[Judge Claude Frollo]

The world is cruel

The world is wicked

It's I alone whom you can trust in this entire city

I am your only friend

I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you

I who look upon you without fear

How can I protect you, boy

Unless you always stay in here

Away in here?

Judge Claude Frollo: Remember what I taught you, Quasimodo.

[Judge Claude Frollo]

You are deformed

[Quasimodo]

I am deformed

[Judge Claude Frollo]

And you are ugly

[Quasimodo]

And I am ugly

[Judge Claude Frollo]

And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity

You do not comprehend

[Quasimodo]

You are my one defender

[Judge Claude Frollo]

Out there, they'll revile you as a monster

[Quasimodo]

I am a monster

[Judge Claude Frollo]

Out there, they will hate with scorn and jeer

[Quasimodo]

Only a monster

[Judge Claude Frollo]

Why invite their calumny and consternation?

Stay in here, be faithful to me

[Quasimodo]

I'm faithful

[Judge Claude Frollo]

Grateful to me

[Quasimodo]

I am grateful

[Judge Claude Frollo]

Do as I say. Obey, and stay in here.

[Quasimodo]

I'll stay in here.

(Frollo goes to leave.)

Quasimodo: You are nice to me, master. I'm sorry.
Judge Claude Frollo: You are forgiven. But remember, Quasimodo. This is your sanctuary.
Quasimodo: My sanctuary.

(Exit Frollo.)

[Quasimodo]

Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone

Gazing at the people down underneath me

All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone

Hungry for the histories they show me

All my life I memorize their faces

Knowing them as they will never know me

All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day

Not above them....

But part of them....

And out there, living in the sun

Give me one day out there

All I ask is one, to hold forever

Out there, where they all live unaware

What I'd give...what I'd dare

Just to live one day out there!

(Watch right here after the cymbal smash, as the camera zooms past Quasi into a street scene for a cameo appearance by Belle from Beauty and the Beast.)

Out there among the millers

And the weavers and their wives

Through the roofs and gables I can see them

Everyday they shout and scold and go about their lives

Heedless of the gift it is to be them

If I was in their skin, I'd treasure every instant

Out there, strolling among the Seine

Taste a morning out there

Like ordinary men who freely walk about there

Just one day and then I swear

I'll be content, with my share

Won't resent, won't despair,

Old and bent, I won't care.

I'll have spent...one...day...out...theeeeere!

Captain Phoebus/Frollo talks to Phoebus[edit | edit source]

(Dissolve down to street level, where, in the midst of all the activity, walks Phoebus, and his horse, Achilles. Phoebus is consulting a map.)

Phoebus: Huh, ya leave town for a couple of decades and they change everything.

(He looks and sees a pair of guards walking side-by-side.)

Phoebus: Excuse me, gentlemen, I'm looking for the Palace of Justice. Would you-- (they fully ignore him) Huh, I guess not.

(Meanwhile, in a corner, Esmeralda and Djali are dancing for change. A woman and her child walk side-by-side, but the woman steers her child aside.)

Woman: Stay away, child--they're gypsies. They'll steal us blind.

(Phoebus, entranced by Esmeralda's dancing, drops a few coins into the hat on the ground. Soon, a boy on top of the wall whistles. Everything comes to a halt, and all scramble for cover. As Djali grabs the hat, coins fly everywhere. He runs, and Esmeralda runs out to grab the money. As she's gathering the change, the guards arrive.)

Guard 1: Alright, gypsy, where'd ya get the money?

Esmeralda: For your information, I earned it.

Guard 1: Gypsies don't earn money.

Guard 2: You steal it?

Esmeralda: You'd know a lot about stealing!

Guard 1: Troublemaker!

Guard 2: Perhaps a day in the stocks will cool you down.

(She fights them, and escapes at last. As the guards begin to chase, Phoebus blocks them with Achilles, and they fall to the ground. Guard 1 is in the right spot, and...)

Phoebus: Achilles! Sit!

(Achilles does as he is warned, and sits on top of Guard 1.)

Phoebus: Oh, dear, I'm sorry. Naughty horse, naughty! He's just impossible! Really, I can't take him anywhere.

Guard 1: Get this fact off me!

Guard 2: (approaching Phoebus) I'll teach you a lesson, peasant!

(He whips out a small dagger, to which Phoebus pulls out his shining sword.)

Phoebus: You were saying....Lieutenant?

(Guard 2 realizes who it is.)

Guard 2: Oh, Captain! At your service, sir!

(Phoebus sheathes his sword, but bends down to Guard 1.)

Phoebus: I know you have a lot on your mind right now, but...the Palace of Justice?

(Cut to the guards making a path for Captain Phoebus. As he walks, he sees some coins on the ground. He picks them up and drops them in the hat of an old man sitting on the street. After he passes, the "old man" pulls his hood down to reveal Djali sitting on Esmeralda's head. She looks at him curiously. Phoebus is trying to move through the crowd, but Achilles is refusing to come along.)

Phoebus: C'mon, boy. Achilles! Heel!

(We zoom into the Palace of Justice, and end up in the dungeon, where a guard in the next room is whipping a prisoner, as Frollo listens. Phoebus enters)

Frollo: Guard!

Guard: Sir?

Frollo: Ease up. Wait between lashes. Otherwise the older sting will dull him to the new.

Guard: Yes, sir.

(Frollo turns to Phoebus.)

Frollo: Ah, then this is the gallant Captain Phoebus, home from the wars.

Phoebus: Reporting for duty, as ordered, sir.

Frollo: Your service record precedes you, Phoebus. I expect nothing but the best from a war hero of your calibre.

Phoebus: And you shall have it, sir. I guarantee it.

Frollo: Yes. You know, my last captain of the guard was, um...a bit of a disappointment to me.

(A whip crack and a shriek interrupts Frollo. Phoebus appears alarmed at the crack.)

Frollo: Well, no matter. I wish you'll whip my men into shape.

Phoebus: Uh, thank you, sir, uh, very, uh, trem--uh, a tremendous honor, sir.

Frollo: You come to Paris in her darkest hour, Captain. It will take a firm hand to save the weak-minded from being so easily misled.

Phoebus: Misled, sir?

Frollo: Look, Captain--gypsies. The gypsies live outside the normal order. Their heathen fashions inflame the peoples' lowest instincts, and they must be stopped.

Phoebus: (a bit surprised) I was summoned from the wars to capture fortune tellers and palm readers?

Frollo: Oh, the real war, Captain, is what you see before you. For twenty years, I have been taking care of the gypsies, one...by...one.

(On each of the last three words, Frollo crushes one of three ants on a tile. He flips the tile over, revealing scores of ants scurrying around underneath.)

Frollo: And yet, for all of my success, they have thrived. I believe they have a safe haven, within the walls of this very city. A nest, if you will. They call it the Court of Miracles.

Phoebus: What are we going to do about it, sir?

(Frollo hits the tile back down upside down, and turns it, crushing the remainder of the ants.)

Phoebus: You make your point quite vividly, Captain.

Frollo: You know, I like you captain. Shall we?

(He begins to leave, as the crowd underneath begins to cheer louder.)

Frollo: Oh, duty calls. Have you ever attended a peasant festival, Captain?

Frollo: Not recently, sir.

Frollo: Then this should be quite an education for you. Come along.

Feast of Fools/"Topsy Turvy"/Quasi is crowned King of Fools and now mocked/Esmeralda helps Quasi[edit | edit source]

(We descend to ground level, and see Quasimodo climbing down the side of the cathedral. He wanders into the crowd, as an oncoming group of people begin to sing "Topsy Turvy")

People: (singing) Come one! Come all! Leave your looms and milking stools, coop the hens and pen the mules! Come one! Come all! Close the churches and the schools! It's the day for breaking rules! Come and join the Feast.....of...

Clopin: (sings) Fools! Ha ha ha! Once a year, we throw a festival here in town. Once a year, we turn all Paris upside down. Every man's a king and every king's a clown. Once again, it's Topsy Turvy Day! It's the day the devil in us gets released. It's the day we mock the pig and shock the priest. Everything is Topsy Turvy at the Feast of Fools!

(Quasimodo is working his road through the crowd, but he can't escape Clopin, who seems to be singing to Quasimodo)

Crowd: (singing) Topsy turvy!

Clopin: (singing) Everything is upsy-daisy!

Crowd: (singing) Topsy turvy!

Clopin: (singing) Everyone is acting crazy, dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet. That's the fashion on Topsy Turvy Day!

(Quasimodo, having joined a chorus line of dancers, is shoved off, through a curtain and comes smashing into the dressing tent of Esmeralda)

Esmeralda: Hey! Are you all right?

Quasimodo: (apologetically) I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.

Esmeralda: (worried) Oh, you're not hurt, are you? Here, here, let's see. (examines to make sure he's all right)

Quasimodo: (nervously) No, no, no!

(Esmeralda tries to pull the hood aside from Quasimodo's face, and he is unsuccessful at stopping her. Djali, upon seeing Quasi's face, sneers. Esmeralda, however, doesn't flinch)

Esmeralda: See? No harm done. (Quasimodo felt surprised that she's not scared of him and she escorts him out the tent) Just try to be a little more careful.

Quasimodo: I will.

(He starts to leave)

Esmeralda: By the way, great mask!

(Quasimodo smiles warmly at the compliment that she gave him.)

Crowd: (singing) Topsy turvy!

Clopin & Crowd: (singing) Beat the drums and blow the trumpets!

Crowd: (singing) Topsy turvy!

Clopin & Crowd: (singing) Join the bums and thieves and strumpets, streaming in from Chartres to Calais.

Clopin: (singing) Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy on the sixth of "Januervy".

Clopin & Crowd: (singing) All because it's Topsy Turvy Day!

(As Judge Claude Frollo, Phoebus and the guards enter the scene, Clopin jumps onstage to prevent Esmeralda)

Clopin: (singing) Come one! Come all! Hurry up, hurry up, here's your chance. See the mystery and romance. Come one! Come all! See the finest girl in France, make an entrance to entrance. Dance la Esmeralda......dance!

(On the last word, Clopin disappears in a puff of smoke, and Esmeralda appears in his place. She proceeds to perform a sultry dance)

Frollo: (To Phoebus) Look at that disgusting display.

Phoebus: (enthusiastically) Yes, sir!

(She continues to dance. She pulls out a handkerchief and wraps it around Frollo's head playfully, using it to pull him closer. She moves in to kiss him, but jumps off at the last moment. Frollo yanks the handkerchief over his head)

Clopin: And now, ladies and gentlemen, the piece of resistance! (singing) Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for! Here it is, you know exactly what's in store! Now's the time we laugh until our sides get sore! Now's the time we crown the King of Fools! You all remember last year's king?!

(Last year's king, carried on the shoulders of the crowd, belches louder)

Clopin: (singing) Then make a face that's horrible and frightening, make a face so gruesome as a gargoyle's wing.

(Hugo is watching from far above)

Hugo: Hey!

Clopin: (singing) For the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools! Why?

Crowd: (singing) Topsy turvy!

Clopin: (singing) Ugly folks, forget your shyness!

Crowd: (singing) Topsy turvy!

Clopin: (singing) You could soon be called Your Highness!

Crowd: (singing) Put your foulest features on display, be the king of Topsy Turvy Day!

(Clopin has been pulling contestants onto the stage. Esmeralda pulls Quasimodo to the stage. Esmeralda works her road down the line, tearing apart masks and revealing the ugly faces underneath. The festivities continue until Esmeralda reaches Quasi. She tries to pull Quasi's mask away, but soon realizes that it's not a mask)

Man #1: That's no mask!

Woman #1: It's his face!

Woman #2: He's hideous!

Man #2: It's the bell ringer from Notre Dame!

(Quasi, realizing that people are disgusted by him, is disheartened. Frollo realizes that the only man left standing onstage is Quasimodo. Clopin, trying to keep facts festive, joins in)

Clopin: Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic. We asked for the ugliest face in Paris, and here he is! Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame!

(Upon hearing Clopin, the crowd once again grows festive, and Clopin crowns Quasimodo the King of Fools)

Crowd: (singing) Once a year, we throw a festival here in town.

Clopin: (singing) Hail to the king!

Crowd: (singing) Once a year, we turn all Paris upside down.

Clopin: (singing) Oh, what a king!

Crowd: (singing) Once a year, the ugliest will wear a crown.

Clopin: (singing) Girls, give a kiss.

Crowd: (singing) Once a year on Topsy Turvy Day.

Clopin: (singing) We've never had a king like this.

All: (singing) And it's the day we do the facts that we deplore on the other three-hundred-and-sixty-four. Once a year, we love to drop in where the beer is never stopping for the chance to burst some popinjay. And pick a king who'll put the top in Topsy...Turvy...Day! Topsy turvy. Insane and crazy, upsy-daisy, Topsy Turvy Day!

(From above, the gargoyles whoop and cheer, while down on the ground, the crowd chants Quasimodo's name. To the side, Guards 1 and 2 are watching)

Guard 2: You think he's ugly now? Watch this!

(He throws a tomato at Quasi, hitting him square in the face. The crowd swiftly goes silent and gasps.)

Heroes: (gasps)

Nala: My goodness!

Guard 2: Now that's ugly!

Guard 3: (Mockingly) Hail to the king! (throws a tomato at Quasi)

Guard 4: Long live the king! (throws another one at Quasi)

Guard 5: Bon Appétit! (throws some food at Quasi)

(As Quasi is getting pelted on by food, he slips on a tomato and falls onto the platform, making the crowd laugh at his humiliation.)

Grandma Longneck: Oh, really now!

Grandpa Longneck: Atrocious manners!

Timon: Hey, you mooks! What's the idea of throwing food at our- (gets pelted by food)

(Soon, Quasi is being pelted with produce of all kinds. He tries to escape the crowd, when suddenly,...)

Crowd member: Where are you going, hunchback? The fun's just beginning! (lassoes Quasi to the neck and pulls him back)

Misty: Hey, cut it out!

Brock: Let go of him!

(But the crowd is too loud and obnoxious to hear our heroes as they continue to mock the poor hunchback. However, Quasi manages to get himself back up, though it ripped his shirt.)

Heroes: (shocked) Oh!

(Quasi took the rope tied to his left hand and threw it aside. More and more ropes wrap around him. Then two more people pounce onto Quasi and tie up onto the platform. The crowd laughed as they spun the platform around in circles. Quasi was getting overwhelmed by thrown food and is in need of help.)

Cera: Stop right now!

Littlefoot: Leave him alone!

Petrie: Me don't like this at all, Ducky.

Ducky: Me neither, Petrie. None of this is right. No, no, no.

(But our heroes weren't the only ones disapproving of this action. Esmeralda noticed the cruel act and became shocked herself.)

Quasimodo: Master!

Ash Ketchum: (growls) Frollo! Do something! Stop this right now!

(But Frollo, angry at Quasi for leaving the bell tower, doesn't respond and completely ignores Ash.)

Quasimodo: Master, please! Help me!

Ash Ketchum: Frollo, what is wrong with you?! Help him! He needs you!

Pikachu: (angrily) PIKACHU!!!

(But Frollo turns away and continues to ignore Ash's pleas to help Quasi, cruelly allowing the crowd to torment him. Phoebus and our heroes have seen enough.)

Phoebus: Sir, request permission to stop this cruelty.

Frollo: In a moment, Captain. A lesson needs to be learned here.

Ash Ketchum: (seething in anger) If he's not gonna save Quasimodo, then we'll do it ourselves! (takes out a Poké Ball) Let's go, everyone!

Misty:

(As soon as he's said this, the crowd gasps and goes silent. Phoebus and Frollo look up to the stage and see Esmeralda ascending the steps. She kneels next to Quasimodo)

Esmeralda: Don't be afraid. I'm sorry. This wasn't supposed to happen.

Frollo: You! Gypsy girl! Get down at once!

Esmeralda: Yes, your honor. Just as soon as I free this poor creature.

Frollo: I forbid it!

(She whips out a knife and cuts the ropes holding Quasi)

Frollo: (pointing to Esmeralda) How dare you defy me!

Esmeralda: You mistreat this poor boy the same fashion you mistreat my people. You speak of justice, yet you are cruel to these most in need of your help!

Frollo: Silence!

Esmeralda: (frustrated, raising her arm and fist) Justice!

Frollo: Mark my words, gypsy. You will pay for this insolence.

Esmeralda: Then it appears we've crowned the wrong fool. The only fool I see......is you!

Frollo: Captain Phoebus! Arrest her.

(Phoebus motions for his guards to move in and arrest Esmeralda. They surround the stage)

Esmeralda: Now, let's see. (Counting the guards) One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten of you, and one of me. What's a poor girl to do?

(She begins to weep, but disappears in an explosion of smoke)

Frollo: Witchcraft!

(From another location)

Esmeralda: Oh, boys! Over here!

(She leads the guards on a wild goose chase. At one point, she knocks a large cage containing an old prisoner to the ground. It goes rolling off, until it comes to a stop and the lock breaks open. He steps out)

Old Prisoner: I'm free, I'm free! (He trips and falls into the stockade, which closes and locks) Dang it.

(Meanwhile, Esmeralda continues to evade the guards. At one point, she and Djali jump on top of the crowd, which carries them off to safety. Two guards attempt the same move, and the crowd swiftly moves off. She grabs a helmet from one of the guards, and throws it like a frisbee. It hits three guards and knocks them out, before almost chopping Phoebus' head apart)

Phoebus: What a woman!

(Two guards on horseback are chasing Esmeralda. As she jumps over Frollo's concession stand, someone throws the guards a staff. Each holding onto an end, the horizontal staff slices through Frollo's refreshment stand, sending him diving for cover. Esmeralda ascends to the top of a stand, but promptly disappears)

Frollo: (To Phoebus) Find her, Captain! I want her alive!

Phoebus: Yes, sir. Seal off the area, men. Find the gypsy girl, and do not harm her!

(Frollo has ridden over to Quasimodo. He hangs his head low)

Quasimodo: (whispering) I'm sorry, master. I will never disobey you again.

(He moves to the entrance to the cathedral as the rain begins to fall. He goes in, but slowly closes the door to his freedom)

(With Frollo)

Phoebus: I'm terribly sorry sir. We'd lost her
Judge Claude Frollo: Arrgh! Slippery vermin! I'm beginning to question having summoned you back from the wars, Captain Phoebus.

Esmeralda in the Cathedral and meets Phoebus/Phoebus saves Esmeralda/"God Help the Outcasts"[edit | edit source]

(Dissolve forward in time to Phoebus and the guards searching for Esmeralda. She is disguised, again with Djali as the old man. She sneaks into the church. Phoebus sees her and recognizes who it is. He follows her in sight. As he comes up behind her, she turns and grabs his sword)

Esmeralda: You!

(She forces him to the floor, holding him there with the tip of his sword at his chin)

Phoebus: Easy now, easy––I just shaved this morning.

Esmeralda: Oh. Really? You missed a spot.

Phoebus: Alright, that's it. Just calm down. Just give me a chance to apologize.

Esmeralda: For what?

(As she lets down her guard for a split second, Phoebus grabs the sword from her hands and turns it on her)

Phoebus: That, for example.

Esmeralda: You sneaky son of a------

Phoebus: Ah, ah, ah! Watch it––you're in a church.

(She has picked up a staff with candles on top)

Esmeralda: Are you always this charming, or am I just lucky?

(She swings the staff at Phoebus, who blocks it with his sword. They fight)

Phoebus: (Between Esmeralda's swings) Candlelight...privacy...music. Can't think of a better place for hand-to-hand combat! You fight almost as well as a man!

Esmeralda: Funny. I was going to say the same fact about you.

Phoebus: That's hitting a little underneath the belt, don't you think?

Esmeralda: No. This is.

(She swings one end of the staff at Phoebus' crotch. He blocks it with his sword. She swiftly hits him in the face with the other end of his staff. He shakes it away)

Phoebus: Touchy!

(Djali butts him in the chest)

Phoebus: I didn't know you had a boy.

Esmeralda: Well, he doesn't take kindly to soldiers.

(The fighting has subsided)

Phoebus: Well, I noticed. Permit me. I'm Phoebus. It means "heavenly sun." And you are?

Esmeralda: Is this an interrogation?

Phoebus: It's called an introduction.

Esmeralda: You're not arresting me?

Phoebus: Not as long as you're in here. I can't.

Esmeralda: You're not at all like the other soldiers.

Phoebus: Thank you.

Esmeralda: Well, if you're not going to arrest me, what have you done?

Phoebus: I'd settle for your name.

Esmeralda: Esmeralda.

Phoebus: It's beautiful. Much better than Phoebus, anyhow.

(As they gaze into each other's eyes, neither notices Frollo and guards approaching)

Frollo: Nice work, Captain! Now, arrest her.

(Phoebus yet has his back to Frollo)

Phoebus: (Whispering to Esmeralda) Claim sanctuary.

(She looks at him oddly)

Phoebus: Say it!

Esmeralda: You tricked me!

Frollo: I'm waiting, Captain.

Phoebus: I'm sorry, sir. She claims sanctuary. There's nothing I can do.

Frollo: Then drag her outside and------

(The archdeacon has entered)

Archdeacon: Frollo! You will not touch her! (To Esmeralda, whom he as approached) Don't worry. Minister Frollo learned years ago to respect the sanctity of the church.

-

Misty: Why would Frollo do this to poor Quasimodo?

Archdeacon: (brief pause) He thought he could be like God.

Quasi and Esmeralda/Quasi helps Esmeralda escape/Quasi shoos Phoebus away[edit | edit source]

-

Esmerelda: I'm really sorry about this afternoon. I had no idea who you were. I would never in my life have pulled you...up...on...the...stage... What is this place?

"Heaven's Light" and "Hellfire"[edit | edit source]

Quasimodo: (singing) So many times out there

I've watched a happy pair

Of lovers walking in the night

They had a kind of glow around them

It almost looked like Heaven's light

I knew I'd never know

That warm and loving glow

Though I might wish with all my might

No face as hideous as my face

Was ever meant for Heaven's light

(While singing, he carves a new figurine resembling Esmerelda whilst the gargoyles drew pictures on the floor. Ash and his friends just sit and watch with warm smiles.)

But suddenly an angel has smiled at me

And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright

I dare to dream that she

Might even care for me

And as I ring these bells tonight

My cold, dark tower seems so bright

I swear it must be Heaven's light

(Quasi then rang the evening bells, happy to have known Esmeralda for her time at the cathedral. As the bells rang, the Archdeacon and a church chorus sang a somber melody to God.)

Church Chorus: (singing) Confiteor Deo

Omnipotenti

Beatae Mariae

Semper Virgini

Beato Michaeli archangelo

Sanctis apostolis

Omnibus Sanctis

(At the Palace of Justice, Frollo stood on a balcony and looked at Notre Dame. He thought about the time he witnessed Esmeralda dance at the festival and how she claimed sanctuary at the church. Despite his dislike of gypsies, he started having disturbances about Esmeralda. Was he to dispose of her like he did to other gypsies, or was he do to something more, something more…romantic?)

Frollo: (singing) Beata Maria

You know I am a righteous man

Of my virtue I am justly proud

Chorus: Et tibit Pater

Frollo: (sings as he walks towards the fireplace) Beata Maria

You know I'm so much purer than

The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd

(As Frollo sings this intense song, Meowth and Wobbuffet peak in to check on him and see if he's alright.)

Chorus: (singing) Quia peccavi nimis

Frollo: (singing) Then tell me Maria

Why I see her dancing there

Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul

Chorus: (singing) Cogitatione

Frollo: (singing) I feel her, I see her

The sun caught in her raven hair

Is blazing in me out of all control

(Meowth and Wobbuffet get scared and emotionally disturbed with Frollo's lust for Esmerelda.)

Chorus: (singing) VERBO ET OPERE

(Frollo started seeing illusions of a fire sprite resembling Esmeralda dancing in the fire. Frollo's emotions started getting more intense as his feelings for Esmeralda turned into lust.)

Frollo: (singing) Like fire…Hellfire

This fire in my skin (takes out Esmerelda's handkerchief he got at the festival)

This burning…desire

Is turning me…to…sin

(Suddenly, rows of orange, face-less, hooded figures appeared, scaring Frollo out of his wits.)

Frollo: (singing) It's not my fault

Chorus: (singing) Mea Culpa

Frollo: (singing) I'm not to blame

Chorus: (singing) Mea culpa

Frollo: (singing) It is the gypsy girl

The witch who set this flame

Chorus: (singing) Mea maxima culpa

Frollo: (singing) It's not my fault

Chorus: (singing) Mea culpa

Frollo: (singing) If in God's plan

Chorus: (singing) Mea culpa

Frollo: (singing) HE MADE THE DEVIL SO MUCH STRONGER THAN A MAN!

(The hooded figures disappeared as Frollo started seeing the fire sprite of Esmeralda again in the fire. Frollo, with Esmeralda's handkerchief in his hands, became more fearful if his lust for Esmeralda was to be permanent, or if it could be diminished with Esmeralda getting burned. Meowth and Wobbuffet become more scared as they continue to watch.)

Frollo: (singing) Protect me Maria

Don't let the siren cast her spell

Don't let her fire seer my flesh and bone

DESTROY ESMERALDA

And let her taste the fires of Hell

OR ELSE LET HER BE MINE AND MINE ALONE

(Meowth and Wobbuffet cringe in fear at this horrifying and intense moment. They see that Frollo's lust for Esmerelda is so powerful that his mind is starting to eradicate. Making him unable to see the consequences of his heinous crimes against humanity. Luckily, the intense, lustful moment with Frollo suddenly stopped for a brief second when he heard a knock at the door. Frollo panted as he turned.)

Soldier: Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped.
Frollo: What?
Meowth: (gasps; whispers) She flew da coop?
Wobbuffet: (whispers) Wobbu?
Soldier: She's nowhere in the cathedral. She's gone.
Frollo: But how? I-…never mind. Get out, you idiot. (the soldier leaves) I'll find her. I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris.
Meowth: (whispers) What?!
Wobbuffet: (whispers) Wobbuffet?!

(All by himself again, Frollo's fury and lust rose again while the fire continues to burn in his fireplace.)

Frollo: (singing) Hellfire…dark fire

Now gypsy it's your turn

Choose me or…your pyre

BE MINE OR YOU WILL BURN (throws Esmeralda's handkerchief into the flames)

Chorus: (singing) Kyrie Eleison

Frollo: (singing) God have mercy on her

Chorus: (singing) Kyrie Eleison

Frollo: (singing) God have mercy on me

Chorus: (singing) Kyrie Eleison

Frollo: (singing) BUT SHE WILL BE MINE, OR SHE…WILL…BU-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-N-N!

(In singing this intense song and having out of control emotions over seeing apparitions of God, Frollo passed out on the floor. Meowth and Wobbuffet, visibly scared of Frollo's obsessive lust for Esmerelda, back away from the door and hide into the dark.)

Looking for the gypsy girl/Phoebus saves the innocent family/Meowth expressing his doubts about working with Judge Frollo[edit | edit source]

Misty: Where's Simba and Nala?
Ash Ketchum: I asked them to go with Littlefoot's grandparents and spy on Frollo.
Brock: Great balls of Fire Spins! Why?!
Ash Ketchum: Well, if they find that he's doing anything crazy or suspicious, they'd let us know. That way we would think of a plan to keep Esmerelda safe from that maniac.

-

Simba: Frollo should be here any minute now.
Nala: I do hope he doesn't find out we're on to him.
Grandpa Longneck: Let's hope not. Ash ordered us to stay out of Frollo's sight while spying on him.
Grandma Longneck: Shh! Here he comes now.

(Frollo's carriage rode towards the front of Notre Dame to meet up with Phoebus and the guards.)

Phoebus: Attention!

(Frollo's guards stand in position to await further orders.)

Phoebus: 'Morning, sir. (Frollo comes out and moans) Are you feeling alright?
Frollo: I had a little trouble with the fireplace.
Phoebus: I see. Your orders, sir?
Frollo: Find the gypsy girl!

(With Frollo's order, the guards begin a manhunt for Esmeralda. They started on a random citizen home, and they ransacked the house of the surprised owner. The guards removed the furniture and moved some boxes before noticing a secret door underneath a barrel. The guard opened it up and there were some gypsies hidden underneath it. The gypsies were quickly chained up and brought before Frollo.)

Frollo: (offers the prisoners money) Ten pieces of silver for the gypsy, Esmerelda. (they knew nothing of Esmerelda's location and refuse the money, which makes Frollo enraged) Lock them up!

(The gypsies were locked into a carriage and the guards rolled it down a hill and into the river. The gypsies resurfaced but were brought before Frollo again. But this activity did not go unnoticed. Simba, Nala, and Littlefoot's grandparents watched from a distance as Frollo demands Esmeralda's whereabouts again.)

Frollo: (offers the prisoners money) Twenty pieces of silver for the gypsy, Esmerelda! (gets even more enraged when they don't respond and refused the money) Take them away!

(Phoebus glared at Frollo but didn't say a single word. He could not believe Frollo was threatening innocent people.)

Nala: My word! Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?! This is unacceptable!
Simba: Indeed, Nala. Those people had nothing to do with Esmerelda at all! They were innocent!
Grandma Longneck: Not only that, but he also knows that she escaped the cathedral!
Grandpa Longneck: Everyone, we'd better keep up with him and watch his actions further.

(Simba, Nala, and Littlefoot's grandparents secretly followed Frollo as the manhunt for Esmeralda continued. They observed Frollo ransacking more peoples' homes and accusing the innocent people of hiding Esmeralda, when they didn't have anything to do with her. More people were sent to prison and Frollo was becoming more and more insanely mad. This was pushing Phoebus to the brink of refusing Frollo's orders, but he remained quiet, for he knew the consequences of disobeying Frollo. In the process, Meowth was also becoming more scared of Frollo's increasing insanity while the other villains were too busy helping him in his crimes. And like Phoebus, he didn't say a word. The worst part about it is that none of the other villains don't seem to know anything about Frollo's insane change of behavior. For all they could simply do is follow orders and obey him so that they could get the rewards they desire. Simba, Nala, and Littlefoot's grandparents remained hidden from Frollo's view as they reached a house with a giant windmill, a few miles from Notre Dame. Other Paris citizens noticed Frollo's outrageous behavior and quietly expressed it as the squad stood alongside them.)

Female citizen: Oh, my manners. He's never harmed anyone.
Male citizen: Frollo's gone mad.

(Inside the house, Frollo was interrogating a miller and his wife and two children.)

Frollo: We found this gypsy talisman on your property. Have you been harboring gypsies?
Man: Our home is always open to the weary traveler. Have mercy, my lord.
Frollo: I am placing you and your family under house arrest until I get to the bottom of this. If what you say is true and you're innocent, then you have nothing to fear.
Man: But we are innocent. I assure you we know nothing of these gypsies.

(But the man's pleas fell on deaf ears as Frollo shuts the door on him. He then locks it with a guards' spear.)

Frollo: (to Phoebus) Burn it.
Phoebus: What?!
Frollo: (mounts on his horse) Until it smolders, these people are traitors and must be made examples of.
Phoebus: With all due respect, sir, I was not trained to murder the innocent.
Frollo: But you were trained to follow orders.

(But Phoebus, seeing how insane Frollo is becoming and how inhumane his actions were, douses the torch in retaliation.)

Frollo: Insolant coward. (ignites the windmill and sets it on fire)
Simba, Nala, and Littlefoot's grandparents: (gasps in horror upon witnessing Frollo's murderous action)
Nala: (whispers) My goodness gracious!

(Meowth is visibly horrified at what Frollo just did to the family's windmill. Phoebus dodges the burning debris. He hears the family screaming from inside the burning windmill and dashes inside. Esmerelda grows worried and so does Simba, Nala, and Littlefoot's grandparents. Phoebus comes back out and leads the family to safety as the burning windmill crumbles. Simba, Nala, and Littlefoot's grandparents all sigh in relief that the family is safe, thanks to Phoebus.)

Grandma Longneck: (whispers) Oh, thank heavens! They're alright!

(Phoebus gets knocked to the ground and restrained by the guards.)

Frollo: The sentence for insubordination is death. Such a pity. You threw away a promising career.
Phoebus: Consider it my highest honor, sir.
Simba: (whispers) Insubordination, you say?! We'll show you "insubordination"! Esmerelda let's help Phoebus make a quick getaway.
Esmerelda: You got it. (picks up a rock, throws it and hits Frollo's horse, making it throw him off)

(Phoebus knocks away the guards, hops onto Frollo's horse and rides away.)

Frollo: Get him! And don't hit my horse!

(The soldiers fire their arrows at Phoebus as he rode across a bridge. He kept fleeing until he gets hit by an arrow in the shoulder. Phoebus fell off Frollo's horse and into the river below. Esmeralda gasped upon seeing Phoebus fall. As Phoebus landed in the water, more arrows fired after him. Esmeralda hid herself from Frollo's view. Simba, Nala, and Littlefoot's grandparents meet up with her so that they too would stay out of Frollo's view.)

Frollo: (to his soldiers) Don't waste your arrows! Let the traitor rot in his watery grave. Find the girl! If you have to burn the city to the ground, so be it.

(Esmerelda and her friends watched as Frollo, and the guards started leaving the scene. They can definitely see that Frollo has indeed gone insane: mentally and physically.)

Grandma Longneck: Oh, my goodness! This is serious, everyone.
Grandpa Longneck: I know. It's worse than we thought. Frollo really has gone mad. And he won't stop until he gets what he wants. Even if it means burning down the entire city.
Simba: Then we must tell Ash and his friends about this. We need to come up with a plan to stop Frollo before more innocent people get hurt.
Nala: But what about Phoebus? We can't just leave him here to drown. Even though he was Frollo's captain of the guard.
Simba: Uh,... (thinks about it for a bit, but realizes that Nala has a point) No, no, absolutely not! He may have been Frollo's captain, but right now he's a wounded soldier.
Esmerelda: I'll go and get him. Then let's take him to the cathedral. We can ask Quasi and our friends to help hide him from Frollo.
Grandma Longneck: A very good idea, my dear. Go down there and bring him to shore.
Nala: But do it quickly. Or Frollo's guards will see you.

(Esmeralda quickly got in the river and dove underwater. After a few seconds, Esmeralda resurfaced with Phoebus in her arms. She then places the wounded and unconscious Phoebus on Simba's back.)

Simba: Alright, let's go. Back to the cathedral!

(Esmerelda, Simba, Nala, and Littlefoot's grandparents head back to Notre Dame with Phoebus as fast as they can. At sunset, the city lay under extreme pressure, for the vicious manhunt for Esmeralda had taken its toll on several houses and families. Frollo and the soldiers set several houses on fire and families were being arrested for crimes they didn't commit. The sky filled with a hellish red as smoke from the fires filled the air.)

Soldier: Sir, we've looked everywhere and still no sign of the gypsy girl!
Frollo: I had the entire cathedral surrounded; guards at every door. There was no way she could've escaped. Unless... (looks up at the cathedral's bell tower as it continues to ring despite the devastation he caused amongst the city)
Meowth: (whispers to the other villains) Guys, I'm starting to feel worried. Are you sure it's safe to work with Frollo in his plans? And to have him around with us?
Jessie: Why's that, Meowth?
Meowth: Well, didn't you notice his sudden change in behavior? Did it ever occurred to you guys that Frollo is slowly going completely insane?! Just look at him!
James: Meowth, he just wants to get his hands on the gypsy girl and bring her to justice.
Banzai: Not to mention honor our promises.
Shenzi: Yeah, so we don't see the problem.
Meowth: But guys, you should've seen how he truly was last night. It creeped me out! He was like a son of Satan I tell you! He was at the fireplace, showing off his freaky, obsessive lust for the gypsy girl! I could feel his presence of evil creeping all over me the minute he talks about her! And all at once, it was almost like he turned into a terrible demon! He just kept begging for this goddess called Maria, pleading her not to let Esmerelda place a "wicked spell" on him! But in reality, all he's doing is lying to himself and placing blame on her for his sins! It was like he's calling the monsters from the underworld, screaming like the voice of doom! He's not a judge, he's a devil!
Jessie: Oh, that's enough, Meowth! Look, we don't have time for this nonsense! Now, get yourself together and help Frollo find the gypsy girl!
James: Yeah, we got a job to do, remember?! And let's not forget that we need to put the twerps out of our way so we can capture Pikachu!
Meowth: But-but-but...!
Shenzi: But nothing! We are telling you for the last time, there is nothing wrong with Frollo! Now, let's go! We've got to find that gypsy girl!
Meowth: Guys! Guys!
Villains: (in sing-song) We're not listening! (hums)

(But unbeknownst to the other villains, Meowth had every right to be afraid. For what they don't realize is that they're putting their own lives on the line to a madman whose losing his own mind.)

Meowth: (internally, with his head down) It's no use! They won't listen to me! Every one of them got their eyes on the prize once we help Frollo find the gypsy girl and her people! Once we find out where they were hiding, there's no telling what he would do to us! And if we don't make it out, Lord Bowser would be furious! What should I do?!

(At that moment, Meowth has got an idea.)

Meowth: (internally, raises his head) Wait a minute...of course! Lord Bowser doesn't know about Frollo's true intentions! If I can find a way to convince him about the judge, then he'll bring his army to help us! I know that our job is to help Frollo capture these twoips so we can win against them. But in this situation, I have no other choice. I've got to find a way to summon Kamek to watch over us and save our enemies from that psychotic judge! But how? (hears the bells ringing in the cathedral and looks up; the bells' ringing gives him another idea) The cathedral. That's it! If I could sneak into the cathedral during Frollo's visit with the hunchback twoip, I'll write a distress message to Kamek. And then, with Inkay's help, I'll deliver it to him so that he could come here, watch over us for a while, and then report Frollo's treachery straight over to Bowser! It won't be easy though. But it's the only way to put a stop this madness for good. (sneaks up on James and takes Inkay's Poké Ball) Sorry, James, but I have to borrow this for a bit.

At Notre Dame/"A Guy Like You"/Bringing Phoebus[edit | edit source]

-

(Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. Ash goes downstairs and answers it.)

Ash Ketchum: Oh, Esmerelda, it's you! What are you doing out in the-?
Esmerelda: Shh! There's no time to explain. Is Quasimodo still here? I have to talk to him.
Ash Ketchum: Oh, okay, sure. I'll go and get him. (goes up to get him) Quasi! Quasimodo, Esmerelda is here.
Quasimodo: Esmerelda? Esmerelda! You're alright! I knew you'd come back!

-

Simba: (grunts) Guys, this is Phoebus. He used to be captain of Frollo's guards. But after seeing how barbaric Frollo's actions were, he rebelled against him.
Nala: And now, he's become a fugitive like Esmerelda and is terribly wounded.
Esmerelda: He can't go on much longer. We knew he'd be safe here. Please, can you hide him?

(Ash and his friends look at each other in confusion. But seeing that Phoebus needs to be healed, they've come to an agreement.)

Littlefoot: Okay, Esmerelda. We'll do what we can.
Quasimodo: This way. (leads them to a bed for Phoebus to rest)
Misty: Brock, go get him something to eat.
Brock: Okay.

-

Simba: Things have gone from bad to worse out there, Ash.
Nala: Frollo found out that Quasi helped Esmerelda escape the cathedral. And now, he's on a violent manhunt for her.
Simba: He's ransacking the entire city, burning down houses, and placing innocent people under arrest for crimes they didn't commit! To make matters worse, he even tried to kill an innocent family by burning them alive within their windmill house!
Ash Ketchum: What?! He tried to burn an innocent family alive?!
Nala: That's right.
Ash Ketchum: (growls in frustration) That maniac! This is ridiculous! (groans, paces in anger for a bit, then relaxes as he sighs)
Misty: I can't believe it! That wicked judge is going crazy! What he's doing to those people down there is monstrous!

-

Phoebus: (groans) Esmerelda?
Esmerelda: Shh-shh-shh. You'll hide here until you're strong enough to move. (opens a flask of wine)
Phoebus: Great, I could use a drink. (groans in pain as Esmerelda poured the drink onto his wound) Yes...mmm...feels like a 1470 burgundy. Not a good year.
Esmerelda: (stitches his wound together) That family owes you their lives. You're either the single bravest soldier I've ever seen, or the craziest.
Phoebus: Ex-soldier, remember? (groans) Why is it whenever we meet, I end up bleeding?
Esmerelda: (finishes stitching his wound) You're lucky. That arrow almost pierced your heart.
Phoebus: I'm not so sure it didn't.

-

Brock: Here, eat this. It'll get your strength back up.

Frollo arrives, and Quasi hides Phoebus/Frollo knows that Quasimodo has helped Esmeralda escape/Meowth contacts Kamek[edit | edit source]

-

Meowth: (sympathetic towards Quasimodo) Poor guy. (sees Frollo leave) Alright, now's my chance to get help! (takes a piece of paper and writes emergency message for Kamek, rolls the paper up after he finished writing) Next, I need to find something to keep this note still, to make sure it won't get blown away. (he takes out an empty glass bottle he picked up from the festival and puts the message inside before putting a cork in it) And now, for the third step. (takes out James' Poké Ball containing Inkay and opens it, summoning the squid-like Pokémon)
Inkay: Inkay!
Meowth: (puts his finger close to his mouth and shushes at Inkay, whispers) Ssshhh, not so loud! (looks around to see if nobody has seen or heard him before turning his attention to Inkay) Okay, Inkay, listen carefully. I need you to take this message with you and climb up all the way to the top of the cathedral. (hands the bottle to Inkay) Whatever you do, do not drop it! This is a very important message and I want Kamek to read this! By the time everyone is out of this place, including me and the hunchback, (takes out a red gemstone) hold this stone up as high as you can. It has the same magic energy from Kamek's wand, so this might help you get his attention.
Inkay: (tilts himself in confusion) Inkay?
Meowth: I know it's hard for you to understand this, but everyone's lives are in danger, including James! If Frollo turns on us before any of this is happening, there won't be anyone else who will help us or Lord Bowser. In other words, if one of us goes down, we all go down. That's why I need you to do this task. Can you do this?
(Inkay is still confused what Meowth is trying to warn him about. But since he knows that James' life will be in danger, he straighten himself up and nods affirmatively.)
Inkay: Inkay!
Jessie: (V.O.) Hey, Meowth! Where are you?! You better come down here!
James: (V.O.) We still need to find that gypsy girl before she can get away from this town! Don't you want the rewards Frollo promised us!?
Meowth: Uh oh! I guess my time up here is over! (turns to Inkay) I'm counting on you, Inkay! Now, Go!
Inkay: (nods) Inkay!
(Inkay receives the bottled message and gemstone from Meowth and levitates to the highest section of the cathedral. Meowth quickly heads down without getting seen by Quasimodo or the gargoyles.)

The heroes go to the Court of Miracles/"The Court of Miracles"/Frollo has captured all the heroes and betrays the villains[edit | edit source]

-

Quasimodo: It's a map. See? Here's the cathedral. And the river. And-and this little stone must be...
Phoebus: I've never seen a map that looks like...
Quasimodo: (arguing while Phoebus babbles, much to the annoyance for most of our heroes) Look, *I've* lived up in the bell tower for 20 years, and I think I know what the city looks like from above, and this is it!
Phoebus: (with Quasi) This is not it.

(They both take deep breaths.)

Phoebus: Alright, ok, if you say it's a map, fine, it's a map. But if we're going to find Esmeralda, we have to work together. Truce?
Quasimodo: Well, okay.

-

Phoebus: We came to warn you. Frollo's coming! He says he knows where you're hiding, and he's attacking at dawn with a thousand men!
Esmerelda: Then let's waste no time. We must leave immediately.

-

Frollo: After twenty years of searching, the Court of Miracles is mine at last! Dear Quasimodo, I always knew you would someday be of use to me.
Quasimodo: No...
Esmerelda: What are you talking about?
Frollo: Why, he led me right to you my dear.
Esmerelda: You're a liar.
Frollo: And look what else I've caught in my net. Captain Phoebus back from the dead. Another miracle, no doubt…I shall remedy that. (turns his attention to Ash and his friends)

-

Frollo: There will be a bonfire in the square tomorrow, and you're all invited to attend. Lock them up.

-

Jessie: Excuse us, Frollo. Now, that we've helped you find the Court of Miracles and captured the gypsies, how's about the rewards you've promised us?
James: Yes. You've promised to let us have the twerps Pokémon.
Shenzi: And you've promised us food for life, remember?
Banzai: Yeah, that's right.
Ed: (laughing)
Arthur: And you've promised us good wealth too, remember?
Cecil: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Frollo: Oh, about all that, let's just say...I've...changed my mind!!
Villains: Huh?! (they get arrested by Frollo's guards)
Banzai: Hey, what's the big idea?!
Shenzi: We had a deal!
Frollo: Oh, but of course we did. I am a man of my word. But the deal was only to find the Court of Miracles and capture the gypsies. And that is exactly what we did. For that is what I only care about.
Jessie: So, that's it? That's all you care about?! Killing off those stupid gypsies?!
Meowth: I was right! You don't care about us! You were only in on this for the gypsy girl and that's that!
Frollo: Why should I care about a bunch of weak, pathetic, little cowards like you?! I was just using you to help track down the gypsy girl! Just like how I've used Quasimodo to find the Court of Miracles. And now that I've got what I wanted, your services are no longer needed. So, I'm gonna have to let you all go with a death sentence tomorrow. And the best part is: you'll be joining your enemies. (the villains gasp in horror while Frollo smirks)
Shenzi: You're a fool, Frollo! Just you wait until Bowser hears about what you did!
Banzai: And when he gets here, you're the one who's gonna be real sorry!
Frollo: Really? (chuckles) I'd like to see him try. (smirks; to his guards) Lock them with the others.

(The guards take them away as the screen turns black onto Frollo's evil grin.)

Bonfire/Quasi breaks free and saves Esmeralda/Final Battle[edit | edit source]

(We cut to Bowser's castle as Kamek enters the throne room.)

Kamek: Sire?
Bowser: What is it, Kamek?
Kamek: Sorry to disturb you at this hour, but I have some very important news to tell you.
Bowser: Hmmm... Very well. Report whatever you what to tell me. I'm ever so curious.
Kamek: Well, sir, the good news is our troops managed to find the Court of Miracles, arrested the entire Romani population, and captured our enemies as you had planned. However, there is also some bad news as well.
Bowser: Oh?
Kamek: Well, um... (clears throat) The bad news is..., uh,... Frollo defected.
Bowser: (enraged) What?!
Kamek: He can no longer be trusted as a reliable ally to our organization. He's too unstable: mentally and physically. He declares that he will not be following your orders anymore.
Bowser: (digs his claws into the arms of his throne) Well,... why didn't anybody poison him? Hmm? Slit his throat? Incapacitate him in any way?!
Kamek: Too many guards, sir. Frollo ordered his men to tie them up and arrested them. He even threatened them with a death sentence by burning them to a stake alongside our enemies.
Bowser: What?! Sentencing my troops to death behind my back?! (growls in anger and blasts a hole in the wall) How dare he betrays me!! I'm gonna tear him limb from limb! Where is he now?!
Kamek: He's at Notre Dame, preparing to burn Esmerelda to stake, sire.
Bowser: (growls) Figures. Alright, ready the ships! We're going to Paris! It's time I'd settle a little score with that no-good, back-stabbing traitor!

(We go back to Notre Dame where Frollo is preparing to execute Esmerelda by burning her at stake.)

Frollo: The prisoner, Esmerelda, has been found guilty of the crime of witchcraft. The sentence: death!
Crowd: (protesting) Release her! Let her go! She's done nothing wrong! She is innocent!

(As the angry mob continues to protest Frollo's death sentence against Esmerelda, one man is throwing bundles of straw to the stake she is tied to the ensure her execution. The other, a strong, buff man, holds a torch, ready for Frollo to burn her. Phoebus, Ash, his team, some of Frollo's former minions, and all the gypsies are all under heavy guard by Frollo's soldiers and locked up in separate cages. Phoebus struggled to get himself out of his cage. Littlefoot's grandparents are being held spear point by Frollo's guards, threatening to spear them if they try to intervene. The Archdeacon came out of the church and did not like where this event was going. But as he walks out to try to stop Frollo from executing Esmerelda, two guards blocked his path.)

-

Simba: What are you guys in for?
Banzai: Oh, wouldn't you know it? Frollo betrayed us and locked us away with you so that he could kill all of us.
Jessie: The nerve of that stupid judge to use us in his stupid plans like that! I don't even know why we ever trusted him!
Shenzi: He's ten-times worse than Scar!
Arthur: All dat hard work we did for him... for nothin'!
James: And now, we're all waiting in line to die along with the twerps! Oh, if only Bowser was here.
Jessie: (groans) I can't believe we're saying this, but Meowth, we're really sorry. We should've listened to you about Frollo.
James:

-

Misty: I guess bad guys can have their feelings hurt too.
Brock: Hey, maybe Team Rocket and their friends have a heart after all.

-

Frollo: The time has come, gypsy. You stand upon the brink of the abyss…yet even now it is not too late. I can save from the flames of this world and the next. Choose me…or the fire.

(Esmerelda, disgusted by Frollo's lust for her, angrily responds by spitting in his face.)

Crowd: (gasps)

(Frollo got tense but went along with Esmerelda's choice.)

Frollo: The gypsy, Esmeralda, has refused to recant. This evil witch has put the soul of every citizen of Paris in mortal danger…

-

Hugo: Come on, Quasi. Snap out of it!
Victor: Your friends are down there!
Quasimodo: It's all my fault.
Laverne: You gotta break these chains!
Quasimodo: I can't. I tried. What difference would it make?
Victor: But you can't let Frollo win!
Quasimodo: He already has.
Hugo: So, you're giving up? That's it?
Laverne: These chains aren't what's holding you back, Quasimodo.
Quasimodo: Leave me alone.

(The gargoyles stopped upon hearing Quasi. Feelings slightly hurt, and seeing Quasi give up hope, they slowly moved away from him.)

Hugo: Okay. Okay, Quasi, we'll leave ya alone.
Victor: After all, we're only made out of stone.
Laverne: We just thought maybe you were made of something stronger.

(The gargoyles sadly stood by the ledge and turn to stone. Quasi was left on his own to wallow in his depression. He felt no hope left in him. But he heard Frollo's voice from outside and something rose inside him. All those years of torment from Frollo were getting to him, but he realized that Frollo was going to kill Esmeralda, the very being who introduced him to a whole new life, a life of kindness, and assurance that he wasn't what Frollo told him. As Frollo prepares to ignite the stake and burn Esmerelda, Quasi moved himself forward to the ledge.)

Frollo: For justice, for Paris, and for her own salvation, it is my sacred duty to send this unholy demon back where she belongs! (ignites the stake and sets it on fire)

(The angry mob loudly protested against this as Esmeralda looked in horror of the flame that was going to burn her to death.)

Quasimodo: (enraged with anger) NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

(Quasi pulled on the chains and this started shaking the area around him. The chains surrounding Quasi were strong, but Quasi was stronger. As he pulled, the bells started ringing loudly. He twisted and swung himself around, struggling to free himself. But he had to move fast because Esmeralda was starting to suffocate. The murderous Frollo watched as Esmeralda started passing out. Ash and his team look on helplessly as Frollo maliciously begins to burn Esmerelda to death. But Quasi was almost freed. He gave one mighty tug, and he finally broke the chains off him. Some of the pillars broke apart as an angry Quasi grabbed a rope and tied it around a gargoyle. He got to a side of the building and, with his eyes locked on Esmeralda, jumped off the building while holding onto the rope. He swung down over the crowd.)

Misty: (gasps, taps Ash's shoulder, and points up) Look!
Ash Ketchum: (gasps)
Heroes, Villains, and the crowd: (gasp in surprise as Quasi swings down over them and lands onto the pyre)

(He frees Esmeralda from her rope. Quasi's appearance not only surprised everyone, but Frollo and the guards were not impressed by his interference. Some guards got onto the pyre to stop Quasi, but the hunchback grabbed the stake and swung it towards them. With Esmeralda in his hands, Quasi grabbed the rope and swung back to the cathedral.)

Frollo: (outraged) Quasimodo!

(The crowd watched as Quasi climbed up the cathedral with the unconscious Esmeralda in his arms.)

Ash Ketchum: Alright!
Littlefoot: Go, Quasi!
Simba: Attaboy!
Villains: (cheering for Quasimodo)
Quasimodo: (climbs to the highest balcony of the cathedral and shouts to the audience while holding Esmerelda up) SANCTUARY! SANCTUARY! SANCTUARY! (the crowd cheers, but then suddenly...)
Bowser: (V.O.; enraged with anger) FROLLO!!!!
Everyone: (gasps)

(A ship arrives at the scene. The hatch opens, and out from the ship, steps Bowser and Mistress 9.)

Villains: (overjoyed) BOWSER!!
Heroes: Bowser?
Frollo's guards: (immediately become intimidated by Bowser's sudden appearance)

(One guard attempts to spear Bowser. But the spear had no effect on him because of his scaly body. Bowser pulls the spear out and throws it away. The guards try to attack Bowser, but he simply tosses them aside as if they were nothing but annoying bugs. Bowser had no intention of fighting the guards. For he had only one thing in mind: helping his troops and reluctantly helping Ash and his friends bring Frollo to justice for good. He walks over to the deranged judge and glares down at him.)

Frollo: (gasps) Bowser? (clears throat) Good evening, Bowser. I wasn't expecting to see you here tonight. How's every little thing with your family?
Bowser: (he is in no mood for a conversation) Frollo, how dare you betray me and sentence my troops to death behind my back! This is not what we've bargained for! We trusted you!

-

Frollo: Captain!
Brutish Guard: Sir!
Frollo: Seize the cathedral!
Heroes: (overhears Frollo's latest action and gasp)
Misty: That monster!
Nala: He can't do that! Notre Dame is too sacred to be raided by someone as evil as Frollo!
Grandpa Longneck: This has gone too far!
Grandma Longneck: There has to be something we can do!
Cera: Come on, guys, think! We gotta do something to stop Frollo from killing Esmerelda!
Shenzi: (clears throat) I know this is beyond your comfort zone, but I propose we team up and take down that wicked monstrosity together. For as we know, desperate times call for desperate measures. Truce?

(Ash and his team look at each in confusion. But they realize, Shenzi is making a good point. They need all the help they can get. Even if it means teaming up with their sworn enemies in a time of crisis.)

Ash Ketchum: (shakes Shenzi's paw) Until all of this is over.
Shenzi: Yes. Agreed.

(Quasi placed Esmeralda in a bedroom as the gargoyles, having seen Quasi regain his spirit, watched from outside.)

Quasimodo: Don't worry, you'll be safe here.

(Quasi heard commotion going on outside and he rushed out of the room. He jumped down to an area with a cauldron of hot molten lead. He grabbed a heavy, wooden beam and threw it down to the guards below. They scurried like ants as the beam landed on Frollo's carriage. Frollo, angered with Quasi for the last time, stormed towards the entrance of the cathedral.)

Frollo: Come back, you cowards! You men, pick up that beam. Break down the door.
Phoebus: Alone at last. (knocks out the guard, grabs the keys, and unlocks the cage; to Ash) Heads up, Ash!
Ash Ketchum: (catches the keys) Thanks, Phoebus! (goes to unlock the cage he and his friends are in)
Phoebus: (climbs up on top of his cage) Citizens of Paris, Frollo has persecuted our people, ransacked our city, and now, he has declared war on Notre Dame herself! Will we allow it?!
Crowd: NO!!!!

(Everyone charged into battle as the mob smashed the locks of the gypsie's cages.)

Ash Ketchum: (unlocks the cage) Come on, guys! Let's go!
Misty: CHARGE!!!
Brock: (takes a sword) Yaaahh!! On to battle!
Simba and Nala: (roar as they run into battle)
Littlefoot and his friends: (scream as they charge into battle)
Meowth: It's payback time!! (screams as he extends his claws and charges into battle)
Villains: (scream as they charge into battle)
Shenzi, Banzi, and Ed: (growl and then bark as they charge into battle)
Timon and Pumbaa: Hee-yah!!!
Timon: Excuse me! Pardon me! Comin' through! Hot stuff!

(The large crowd of people charged towards the guards as Quasi and the gargoyles watched from above.)

Hugo: I think the calvary's here! Hey, isn't that, eh, Feeble?
Laverne: Doofus.
Quasimodo: Phoebus!

-

Jessie: Go, Gourgeist!
James: Inkay, let's go!

-

Victor: (after dropping a brick on a guard's head) Sorry, sorry.
Hugo: (munches on a stone; flew around like a bomber; and then rapidly firing out the pieces like a laser gun)

(The shots hit the guards really hard.)

-

Old man: Oh! I-I'm free! I'm free! (falls into a sewer) Dang it!

-

Bowser: Troops, stand ready! (Frollo's soldiers come charging in) FIRE!!

(The villains attack Frollo's soldiers with their attacks.)

-

Mistress 9: You've just made a big mistake challenging me. (attacks Frollo's soldiers with her powers)

-

Shenzi: Oh, no you don't!
Banzai: Nobody's getting in here!

(They both push the ladder one soldier is climbing on, causing him to fall and crash to the ground.)

-

Timon: Please, don't hurt me!
Pumbaa: Drop 'em!
Oafish Soldier: (Banzai's voice) Hey, who's the pig?
Pumbaa: Are you talking to me?
Timon: Uh-oh. You called him a pig.
Pumbaa: Are you talking to me?
Timon: You shouldn't have done that.
Pumbaa: Are you talking to me?!
Timon: Now, you're in for it!
Pumbaa: They call me, Mr. Pig!! (screams as he charges and attacks Frollo's soldiers)

-

Victor: Ready, aim, fire! (they push the catapult off the ledge) Are you sure that's how it works? (the catapult squishes the soldiers like mice in a mouse trap)
Hugo: Works for me!

-

Laverne: (commanding a flock of birds) Fly, my pretties! Fly! Fly! (laughs)

-

(Up at the bell tower, Victor used Hugo to start a fire underneath a boiling cauldron of molten metal. When it got hot enough, Quasi attached a rope to it and pulled with all his might to tip it over. The gargoyles helped him out. But the guards finally managed to bust a hole through the door. The cauldron finally tipped over and the hot liquid dipped out of the church and fell to the ground like lava bursting from a volcano. Seeing the copper rain down from the balcony, the guards fled as everyone cleared away from the hot substance. The intense battle of Notre Dame was more in favor of the heroes, for they had stopped the guards from bursting into the cathedral to get Esmeralda. But one man hid himself behind the waterfall of metal and angrily used his sword to cut his way through the door. It was Frollo and he made his way into the cathedral.)

Archdeacon: Frollo, have you gone mad?! I will not tolerate this assault on the house of God!
Frollo: (now mentally insane with anger) Silence, you old fool! (disrespectfully throws the archdeacon down the stairs) The hunchback and I have unfinished business to attend to! And this time, you will not interfere. (closes the door and locks it before heading upstairs to kill Quasimodo and Esmerelda himself)

(Back outside, Nala, while fighting the guards, spots Frollo heading up to the bell tower through the window. She gasps in horror and rushes to the others while fighting off the guards.)

Nala: We've got a problem! Frollo made his way into the cathedral and he's going up the bell tower to kill Quasi and Esmerelda!
Misty: What?!
Cera: He's going to kill Quasi and Esmerelda within the cathedral?!
Simba: (growls) That's it! This has gone far enough! That madman's got to be stopped once and for all! I'm going in there!
Ash Ketchum: Littlefoot and I are going in with you, Simba!
Littlefoot: Yeah!

-

Jessie: Stop wasting time!
Arthur: We'll take care of these hooligans!
Banzai: Hurry and get into the cathedral so you can your friends stop Frollo once and for all!

-

Ash Ketchum: Simba!

(Simba leap over the molten metal whilst roaring. Littlefoot's grandfather manages to safely lift his grandson on the other side with his long neck.)

Littlefoot: Thanks, Grandpa!
Grandpa Longneck: No problem, Littlefoot. Now, you'd better hurry and help Quasi protect Esmerelda.

Quasimodo sad of Esmeralda's "death"/Quasi's battle/Frollo's death/Phoebus saves Quasi[edit | edit source]

-

Simba: (to the archdeacon) You there! Which way did Frollo go?
Archdeacon: Up the stairs and through that door.
Ash Ketchum: (goes up the stairs, tries to open the door, but it's locked; groans in frustration) That scoundrel! He's locked it!
Archdeacon: Listen to me! Frollo's in a blind rage and he's twisted my ankle! I'm powerless against him now! (holds up a spare key) The only ones who could stop him is you. Here. Take this. And go. (Ash takes the key)
Ash Ketchum: Thanks. (unlocks the door) Let's go, guys!
Littlefoot: Hang on, Quasi! Help's on the way! (rushes up the stairs with Simba, Ash, and Pikachu to help Quasi stop Frollo)

(Back outside, Bowser continues fighting the soldiers until he sees Ash, Simba, and Littlefoot rushing into the cathedral going after Frollo.)

Bowser: (growls, throws away a soldier he was fighting, and heads for the bell tower) Take over, Mistress 9! I'm going after Frollo!
Mistress 9: Yes, my dear! (zaps away a soldier with her powers)

(Bowser uses his powers to make a path through the river of molten lead and then enters the cathedral to help his enemies confront Frollo.)

Bowser: (in his thoughts as he angrily goes up to the bell tower to assist his enemies) You're mine, Frollo!
Quasimodo: (comes in the room; joyfully) We've done it, Esmerelda! We've beaten them back! Come and see!

-

Quasimodo: You killed her.
Frollo: It was my duty. Horrible as it was, I hope you can forgive me. There, there, Quasimodo. I know it hurts. But now, the time has come to end your suffering...(raises his dagger) forever.

(But suddenly...)

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) QUASI, LOOK OUT!!
Littlefoot: WATCH OUT!!

-

Frollo: Now, now, l-l-listen to me, Quasimodo.
Quasimodo: No, YOU listen! All my life you've told me the world is a dark, cruel place. But now I see that the only thing (throws away the dagger) dark and cruel about it is people like you.

-

Ash Ketchum: Enough's enough, Frollo!
Simba: You don't deserve to live.

-

(Finally, Frollo gets Quasi cornered.)

Judge Claude Frollo: I should have known you'd risk your life to save that gypsy witch. Just as your own mother died trying to save you.
Quasimodo: What!?!
Judge Claude Frollo: Now I'm going to do what I should have done twenty years ago!

(He swings his cape, covering Quasi's head. But as he tries to throw Quasi off the balcony, the panicking Quasi pulls Frollo off as well. Now Frollo is hanging onto Quasi, who is hanging onto Esmeralda. Frollo throws his cape around another gargoyle and pulls himself over. He stands up and is about to swing at Esmeralda.)

Judge Claude Frollo: And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit! (his last words from the Bible.)

(Suddenly, Bowser lets out a big roar, causing the gargoyle to crack. Frollo is thrown off balance and hangs onto the gargoyle's head. Then Bowser appears above Frollo and is looking down at him with fury in his eyes while holding his former minion's sword.)

Bowser: Enough, traitor! You may be poetic, but from that statement, that will be your last blasphemy! Now, this time, only I can get to decide who dies tonight. (crushes Frollo's sword) Claude Frollo, you have been found guilty of all charges for the crimes you've committed against Paris, my enemies, and my organization! And your sentence...is DEATH!!!

(Frollo gasps in horror. Suddenly, the gargoyle comes to life and roars. Frollo screams in terror. And right before he was about to fall, Bowser grabs hold of the crumbling gargoyle and leans in close enough to say one last thing before sending him to his death.)

Bowser: (Shredder (TMNT 2012) VO) You do not belong here, demon!

(Then Bowser throws the gargoyle off the balcony and rightfully sends Frollo plummeting to his well-deserved demise into the molten lead down below Notre Dame.)

Heroes: (shocked after witnessing Frollo's fate) Whoa...
Clopin: (Tom Kenny's voice) Um,... I think he lost.

(They nod their heads while chatter in agreement. With his deed done, Bowser turns and walks away into the hallways of the cathedral. The villains, on the other hand, are satisfied with Frollo's death and smirk happily now that Bowser destroyed him for good.)

Jessie: Ah-ha! Bye-bye, crazy old man!
Meowth: And good riddance to ya! (laughs)
James: Serves him right, I'd say!

(Ash, Pikachu, Simba, and Littlefoot run over to the balcony and look down to where Frollo fell below Notre Dame.)

Pikachu: Pika... (twitches his ears) Pi?

(They suddenly turn their attention to Esmeralda who is losing her grip on Quasimodo.)

Esmeralda: Quasimodo! Quasi!

(He slips loose and begins to fall.)

Esmeralda: No!!

Ash Ketchum: Quasi!!

(He falls right along the building, close enough for Phoebus to catch him several floors below and pull him back into the building. When Quasi sees who has caught him, he and Phoebus hug. Esmeralda comes running in. After Esmeralda hugs him, he takes Esmeralda's hand and Phoebus' hand and puts them together. They kiss, and Quasi smiles broadly.)

-

Bowser: (growls while looking down to where Frollo fell) Frollo... (holds up Frollo's Pure Heart crystal and then for a brief moment crushes it)

-

Bowser: (gives Ash a small bottle) An antidote. It'll cure Esmerelda from smoke inhalation.
Ash Ketchum: Bowser?
Bowser: Unlike Frollo, I do have some sense of morality. I will battle you and your friends another day. But I won't be going easy on you the next time we face. And before I go, I'd better give you a safer way to get out of this place so that you'd reunite with your friends. (goes to the balcony and uses his powers to cool down the molten lead in the streets below Notre Dame; begins to leave) Farewell.
Ash Ketchum: Bowser! (he stops) I never thought I'd say this, but... thanks for your help.

Quasimodo is accepted to society/"Bells of Notre Dame (reprise)"[edit | edit source]

(Cut to ground level, where Phoebus and Esmeralda emerge into the light and the crowd cheers. With Quasi and the others)

-
Misty: Well, we did it. We won.
Brock: Yeah, we defeated Frollo, and his tyranny is over for good.
Ash Ketchum: And teaming up with our enemies is what led to our victory against him.
-
-
-
Quasimodo: I know. I can't blame Frollo for putting walls around me. It wasn't the walls that were holding me back.
Petrie: What was it then?
Quasimodo: Even though, Master Frollo made me live inside the bell tower, but the real walls were the ones I built around my heart. You'd helped me see that, you guys.
Timon: We did? Oh yeah, we did.
Quasimodo: If I haven't met you guys, I'd never found a way to see the world around me. And my heart is free now. I'm ready to see what's out there. (goes toward the door)

(Esmeralda turns back to the open doorway. She comes back and leads out Quasimodo. The crowd goes silent. Soon, a little girl cautiously comes forward from the crowd. She looks at him, then pets his face. They then hug, and the girl takes Quasi's hand and brings him to the crowed. The crowd begins to cheer. As he moves into the crowd, they do not move away as before. The 'goyles are above, breaking out the champagne.)

Clopin: Three cheers for Quasimodo!!

(The crowd breaks into loud cheering.)

[Clopin]

So here is a riddle to guess if you can

Sing the bells of Notre Dame

What makes a monster and what makes a man?

[Chorus]

Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells…

Bowser: (to the villains) Everyone, it's time to go home.

(The villains agreed. They quietly board their ship and depart for his castle so that they'd leave their enemies to celebrate. Our heroes didn't even notice the villains' departure. For they're too busy celebrating their victory and were bursting with tears of joy, excitement and happiness as their friend is finally free from Frollo's cruel captivity. No longer is Quasimodo living in the shadows of the cathedral or in the darkness of his own fears.)

[Clopin]

Whatever their pitch you

Can feel them bewitch you

The rich and the ritual knells…

[Clopin and Chorus]

Of the bells of Notre Dame!

(A long pullout, as we see the crowd following Quasi, then the gargoyles looking over them. Birds have once again covered Laverne.)

Laverne: Don't you ever migrate?

(We continue to pull out, until the entire city is in view. Fade to black. And that's the end of the movie.)

(Back to Patchy)

Patchy the Pirate: Ahoy, children! I'm back! I hope all you boys and girls enjoyed the show because it's time for you to walk the plank! [Screen reads: PLEASE STAND BY] Oh, sorry, kids. What I meant to say was it's time for fan mail! [blows horn]
Old-time crowd: Hooray!
Patchy the Pirate: And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, so get ready to blow milk out of your nose because we're gonna open a letter! The envelope please Potty. Thank you, my fine feathered assistant.
Potty: [Potty has a lighten fuse on his head] Brawk, you're not welcome.
Patchy the Pirate: [Patchy blows his nose] Hey, Potty, do you smell something? Oh, Potty! That fuse in your head! I told you we're not doing that stunt!
Potty: Brawk, I didn't get the memo! Brawk! [Potty blows up along with Patchy; Patchy coughs up a feather and recovers from the blast]
Patchy the Pirate: Well, that’s it for Patchy's Pick. Hooray! [Potty collapses to the floor]

Bonus Ending[edit | edit source]

(We go to Bowser's castle as he and his troops are resting from the exhausting battle at Notre Dame.)

Jessie: Um,... thanks for saving us, Bowser.
Banzai: Yeah, we owe you one, sir.
Bowser: Think nothing of it. Do not worry, my friends. Our truce may have been temporary, but we'll battle our enemies and get even with them another day. And next time, we will assign a more trustworthy subordinate who will help us bring them down for good.
