'''''Ash Ketchum Meets The Hunchback of Notre Dame''''' is the third Pokémon crossover created by Daniel Esposito. It appeared on YouTube on September 12, 2010. It was released online on Google Drive on November 24, 2014. A remastered remake version will be made sometime in the near future.

==Plot==
Our Story Begins In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1482 1482] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris Paris], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasimodo Quasimodo], a disfigured man, lives only to ring the bells of the cathedral of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_de_Paris Notre Dame]. Alone except for three animate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyles gargoyles] (Victor, Hugo, and Laverne) and [[Ash Ketchum]], [[Pikachu]], [[Misty]], [[Togepi]], and [[Brock]] (along with Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, and the Land Before Time gang), Quasimodo is forbidden from ever leaving the bell-tower by his life-long guardian, the Minister of Justice, Claude Frollo (whom Team Rocket, the Hyenas, and the Jungle Cubs' Vultures work for). Frollo, a highly religious man with Cold Blood And Black Heart who detests "impure" commoners, had adopted the infant Quasimodo as a reluctant repentence for killing his mother, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsy gypsy] he falsely accused of theft.

With Paris's annual Festival of Fools underway, the gargoyles encourage Quasimodo & The Others to leave the bell-tower in order to attend. Meanwhile, Frollo appoints a new Captain of the Guard, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus Phoebus], and the two go to oversee the festivities. Quasimodo is eventually revealed, and the crowd crowns him King of Fools for having the ugliest face in all Paris. Soon afterwards, however, The Citizens, Frollo's guards, Team Rocket, the Hyenas, and the Vultures incite a riot and Quasimodo is tortured. The gypsy dancer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esmeralda Esmeralda], who had just finished a performance, reappears to help Quasimodo And The Others, even though Frollo forbids it. Because of her defiance, Frollo orders Esmeralda arrested, but she manages to escape his soldiers, and is marked as a fugitive.

Esmeralda seeks refuge in Notre Dame, where she is confronted by Phoebus. She initially acts hostile towards him, but Phoebus reveals he is unlike the other soldiers, and the two begin developing a romance. When Frollo & His Henchmen arrives unexpectedly, Phoebus claims [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary sanctuary] for Esmeralda in an attempt to save her. However, the plan backfires, and Frollo surrounds the cathedral with his men, effectively trapping Esmeralda inside. Here, she meets with Quasimodo, Ash, Simba, Littlefoot, and the Gang again. The two form a friendship, and he helps her escape. Quasimodo discovers he has fallen in love with Esmeralda, and holds out hope that she will also love him despite his ugliness. Frollo too finds he is attracted to Esmeralda, and is convinced it is the work of black magic. He fears eternal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnation damnation] because of his feelings, and when he is alerted of Esmeralda's escape, he vows to find her and make her love him or otherwise have her executed.

Frollo, in his obsessive search, begins burning down all of Paris, and nearly executes Phoebus for insubordination. Phoebus escapes on horseback, but is shot at with arrows and plummets into a river. He is saved by an onlooking Esmeralda, who takes him back to the cathedral. There, the two share a kiss, and Quasimodo, having just been convinced by the gargoyles that Esmeralda truly does love him, is heartbroken. Frollo arrives unexpectedly; Esmeralda makes a quick escape and Phoebus is hidden. Frollo reveals to Quasimodo that he knows the location the gypsy hideout, the Court of Miracles, and announces a plan of attack. Phoebus and Quasimodo journey to the hideaway (using a map hidden in a charm Esmeralda had given Quasimodo & The Others before), and are nearly hanged by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clopin Clopin], the king of the gypsies, who had mistaken them for spies. Esmeralda stops the operation and Phoebus warns of the impending attack. Almost instantly, however, Frollo and his soldiers arrive and arrest everyone. He was bluffing, and had followed Ash, Simba, Littlefoot, Quasimodo and the others to the Court of Miracles.

The next day, Frollo prepares to burn Esmeralda at the stake. Quasimodo, chained to the bell-tower, has given up all hope. Frollo offers Esmeralda his love in exchange for her freedom, but she refuses, and the execution commences. Seeing this, Quasimodo becomes angry and breaks free. He heroically swoops down and retrieves Esmeralda, taking her back to the cathedral and screaming "Sanctuary! Sanctuary!" Frollo breaks into the cathedral just as his prisoners begin to break free and revolt. Ash, Simba, Littlefoot, and their friends started to fight Team Rocket, the Hyenas, and the Vultures. Cera pokes Banzai with her horn and She and Pumbaa blast off Team Rocket and the Hyenas started to flee. Misty uses her Staryu to defeat Arthur and Cecil. Upstairs, Frollo finds Quasimodo crying over Esmeralda, who is apparently dead. Frollo attempts to stab Quasimodo, but he retaliates and overpowers him. Suddenly, Esmeralda awakes and Quasimodo runs off with her onto the cathedral's balconies, with Frollo pursuing, sword in hand. In the ensuing fight, Frollo finally reveals to Quasimodo that he had killed his mother 5 years ago, and in one last attempt to kill Esmeralda, falls from the cathedral to his death.

Later, Quasimodo comes to accept that Esmeralda and Phoebus love each other. With Esmeralda's help, he reluctantly emerges from the cathedral, and is finally accepted into society.

==Differences between the original and the remake==
*In the original, Ash and his friends already meet Quasimodo and his gargoyle friends in the beginning of the film. But in the remake version, they meet them after they entered the bell tower.
*In the original movie, Chomper, Ruby, Guido, and Littlefoot's grandparents didn't appear as additional guest stars. But in the remake version, they make a guest star appearance.
*The original version showed Littlefoot and his friends facing Arthur and Cecil for the first time. However, the remake version will mark their second encounter with Arthur and Cecil with Littlefoot's grandparents facing them for the first time, due to it taking place after ''[[Littlefoot's Adventures of Jungle Cubs]]'' and ''[[Littlefoot's Adventures of The Jungle Book]]''.
*In the original movie, our heroes stood and watch in fear as Quasimodo gets publicly humiliated by the crowd. However, in the remake, they are appalled by the mistreatment. Ash desperately tries to get Frollo to assist Quasimodo, but his pleas fell on deaf ears as the cruel judge refuses to help him and allows the crowd to continue the torment. Even when Frollo refused to let Phoebus help, his cruelty proved to be far too much for our heroes. In retaliation and with Esmerelda's help, Ash and his friends decide to end to the humiliation themselves.
*Unlike the original version, there will be a plot twist in the remake of the movie. Frollo will betray the villains, arrest them, and then sentence them to death behind Bowser's back. Bowser will hear the news from Kamek and becomes enraged with Frollo's betrayal. He goes to Paris and helps both enemies and allies put an end to Frollo's madness once and for all. Before leaving, whilst earning some of Ash's respect and thanks, he tells him that even though he and his team won, he won't be going easy on him the next time he meets.
*In the remake, this will mark the first time our heroes make a truce and team up with their enemies in order to take down a really dangerous enemy.

==Trivia==
*[[Simba]], [[Nala]], [[Timon]], [[Pumbaa]], [[Littlefoot]], [[Cera]], [[Petrie]], [[Ducky]], [[Spike]], [[Chomper]], [[Ruby]], [[Guido]], [[Grandpa Longneck]], [[Grandma Longneck]], [[Team Rocket]] (James, Jessie, and Meowth), [[Shenzi]], [[Banzai]], [[Ed (The Lion King)|Ed]], and [[Arthur and Cecil]] guest star in this film.
*Like the original version of ''[[Winnie the Pooh Meets The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', the original version was a PAL film with PAL bits from ''Pokémon 4Ever'' and ''The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers'' and NTSC bits from the ''Pokémon'' films 1-3 and 5, ''Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns'', ''The Lion King'' films, and ''The Land Before Time'' films 1-11 and 13. However, like the remake version of the aforementioned film, the upcoming remastered remake version will be an NTSC film with NTSC bits from the ''Pokémon'' films, ''The Lion King'' films, and ''The Land Before Time'' films.
*There was originally to be a separate Land Before Time crossover film with ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', but the idea was dropped as it turned out that Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike were already guest starring in this film.
*This is the first Pokémon crossover film to guest star characters from ''The Land Before Time'' and ''The Lion King''. It is also the first Pokémon crossover film to feature Arthur and Cecil as additional villainous guest stars.
*In the remake, Bowser killing Frollo at the highest balcony of Notre Dame is a reference of Scar killing Mufasa in ''The Lion King''. However, the difference is that Bowser had every right to kill Frollo because of the heinous crimes he's committed whilst Scar only killed Mufasa just to seize the throne of Pride Rock and take over the Pridelands. 
*Team Rocket (James, Jessie, and Meowth), Shenzi, Banzai, Ed, and Arthur and Cecil are working for Frollo in this film.
*Littlefoot and his friends already faced Team Rocket in [[Pooh's Adventures of The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure|''Pooh's Adventures of The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure'']] and already faced Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed in [[Littlefoot's Adventures of The Lion King|''Littlefoot's Adventures of The Lion King'']], the only villains they didn't face until this movie were Simba's arch enemies Arthur and Cecil.
*The storyline continues in ''[[Winnie the Pooh and Ash Ketchum Meet The Hunchback of Notre Dame II]]''.
*Both ''The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists'' and ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'' were released in 1996.
*Both ''The Lion King'' and ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'' were created by Disney.
*Littlefoot and his friends faced Arthur and Cecil again in ''[[Pooh's Adventures of The Emperor's New Groove]]''.
*Ash and his friends will face Arthur and Cecil again in ''[[Winnie the Pooh Meets Napoleon]]''.
*The original version used Eternal's version of the end credits song ''Someday'' (taken from the real film's UK soundtrack) as the end credits song, due to it using the UK version of the real film with that version of the song. However, the remastered remake version might use All-4-One's version of the end credits song ''Someday'' and the real film's end credits music, respectively, due to using the remastered print from the real film's US Blu-ray.
*In the remake version Chomper, Ruby, Guido, and Littlefoot's grandparents are additional guest stars.
*The remake version will be inspired by ''[[Tino Tonitini Meets The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''.
