Editing Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess

''''Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess''''' is another Pokémon crossover film by Daniel Esposito. It will appear on Odysee in the near future.

==Plot==
King William, widowed father of newborn Princess Odette, and Queen Uberta, widowed mother of young Prince Derek, decide to betroth their children in the hopes of uniting their kingdoms. Rothbart is an evil sorcerer who wishes to take William's kingdom for himself, but before he can make his move, he is attacked by William's men. Although banished from the kingdom, Rothbart vows to return to get his revenge.

William and Uberta have Odette and Derek meet every summer in the hopes that they'll fall in love. As children, this fails miserably, but when the years pass and the two reach adulthood, they do fall in love. Derek declares that the wedding preparations begins, but when he expresses his wish to marry Odette only for her beauty, she rejects him. Odette and William leave, but they are ambushed by Rothbart, who transforms into a "Great Animal", kidnaps Odette, and fatally injures William. Upon being tipped off by the arrival of King William's captain, Derek arrives on the scene, where William tells him with his dying breath that they were attacked by a "Great Animal," and that Odette is "gone." Believing that Odette is dead, Uberta encourages Derek to find another princess, but he is determined to find Odette, believing that she can still be alive. He and his best friend Bromley practice hunting every day in preparation for facing the Great Animal with the help of Uberta’s valet, Lord Rogers.

Elsewhere, Rothbart is keeping Odette at his castle lair at Swan Lake. He has cast a spell that turns Odette into a swan during the day, and she is able to temporarily turn human at night if she is on the lake under moonlight. Every night Rothbart asks Odette to marry him so he can rule William's kingdom, but she refuses. During her captivity, she befriends a turtle named Speed, a French frog named Jean-Bob, who dreams of being human and thinks he's a prince, and Puffin, an Irish puffin.

After obtaining a map from Rothbart's castle while avoiding his hag sidekick Bridget, Puffin and Odette, in her swan form, fly together to find Derek. By chance they stumble upon Derek in the woods, for he is searching for the Great Animal. Derek mistakes Odette for the Great Animal and tries to kill her. The ensuing chase leads Derek to Swan Lake, where he witnesses Odette's change from swan to human when the moon rises. The two share a loving reunion, and Odette explains that the spell can only be broken by a vow of everlasting love. Derek invites Odette to his mother's ball the following night, hoping to declare to the world of his love for her. Derek leaves just as Rothbart arrives. The enchanter has heard the whole conversation and imprisons Odette as a swan in the castle dungeon, along with Bromley whom he had found in the woods. Furthermore, because there is a new moon on the night of the ball, Odette remains a swan that night.

Fearing that Derek's vow would ruin his plans, Rothbart sends Bridget to the ball disguised as Odette. Odette's friends free her from the dungeon and she flies to Uberta's castle, but she is unable to warn Derek in time. Derek makes the vow of everlasting love to the wrong girl, which causes the spell to start killing Odette. Upon realizing his mistake, Derek races after Odette back to Swan Lake, where Odette transforms back into a princess just before she dies in Derek's arms. A furious Derek confronts Rothbart, ordering him to revive Odette. Rothbart transforms into the Great Animal. A battle ensues with Rothbart overpowering Derek. Odette's animal friends return Derek's bow to him, and Bromley, who has escaped the dungeon, provides Derek with a single arrow. Derek catches and fires the arrow into Rothbart's heart, destroying him.

Derek confesses to Odette that he loves her for her kindness and courage, and Odette returns to life, the spell on her broken. The two are married and live happily ever after, while Bridget switches sides and falls in love with Uberta’s lackey, Sir Chamberlain.

==Trivia==
*[[Kronk Pepikrankenitz]], [[Zhane]], [[Korra]], [[Mako (Legend of Korra)]], [[Bolin]], [[Asami Sato]], [[Baloo]], [[Bagheera]], [[King Louie]], [[Taran]], [[Princess Eilonwy]], [[Fflewddur Fflam]], [[Gurgi]], [[The Horned King]], [[Creeper]], [[Shere Khan]], [[Team Rocket]] (Jessie, James, and Meowth), and [[The Crime Empire]] guest star in this film.
*Unlike DisneyAnimeManiac's original version of ''[[Winnie the Pooh Meets The Swan Princess]]'', this is an NTSC film with NTSC bits from the ''Pokémon'' films, ''The Emperor's New Groove'', ''Kronk's New Groove'', ''The Jungle Book'' 1 and 2, ''TaleSpin: Plunder and Lightning'', ''The Black Cauldron'', and ''Batman: Mask of the Phantasm''.
*The only reason why Kronk, Zhane, Korra, Mako, Bolin and Asami Sato are in this film (and its sequels) is because [[The Vultures]] (Buzzie, Flaps, Dizzy, and Ziggy), [[Jiminy Cricket]], and [[Zazu]] are the only members of Daniel Esposito's Pooh's Adventures team to guest star in The Land Before Time/Swan Princess films (due to ''[[Littlefoot Meets The Swan Princess]]'' being the final crossover version of the real film to take place before the Disneyland version of ''[[Winnie the Pooh in Fantasmic!]]'').
*The Crime Empire, Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and Meowth), The Horned King, Creeper, and Shere Khan will work for [[Rothbart]] in this film.
*Like in ''[[Winnie the Pooh Meets The Swan Princess]]'' (in which Winnie the Pooh and Piglet were kidnapped with Odette) and ''[[Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of The Swan Princess]]'' (in which Timon and Pumbaa were kidnapped with Odette), Ash, Pikachu, Korra, Asami Sato, Baloo, King Louie, Taran, and Eilonwy will get kidnapped with Odette.
*The only reason why King Louie is guest starring in this film (and its sequels) is because ''[[Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of The Swan Princess]]'' was made before he joined the [[Jungle Adventure Crew]], [[Genie]] will be the only member of the crew to guest star in The Land Before Time/Swan Princess films, and both characters will be absent in The Lion King/Ronald McDonald/Swan Princess sequels.
*The storyline continues in ''[[Ash's Adventures of The Swan Princess Christmas]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess II: Escape from Castle Mountain]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess III: The Mystery of the Enchanted Treasure]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess: Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess: Royally Undercover]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess: A Royal Myztery]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess: Kingdom of Music]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess: A Royal Wedding]]'', ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess: A Fairytale is Born]],'' and ''[[Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess: Far Longer than Forever]]''.
*Warner Bros. (which released the first three ''Pokémon'' films and the ''Batman'' franchise) is the parent company of New Line Cinema (which theatrically distributed ''The Swan Princess''), which is why this film will use the 2021 Warner Bros. Pictures/New Line Cinema combo logo.
*Baloo and King Louie will see Jean-Bob, Speed, and Puffin again in ''[[Timon and Pumbaa's World of Color]]''.
*Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Togepi, Brock, Kronk, Zhane, Korra, Mako, Bolin, Asami, and Baloo will face Rothbart again in ''[[Pooh's Adventures of Freddie as F.R.O.7]]''.
*Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Togepi, Brock, Kronk, Zhane, Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Asami will see Princess Odette, Prince Derek, Jean-Bob, Speed, and Puffin again in ''[[Pooh's Adventures of Knight Squad]]''.
*Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Togepi, Brock, Kronk, Zhane, Korra, Mako, Bolin, Asami, and Baloo will also see Odette again in ''[[Pooh's Adventures of The Future is Wild]]''.
*Baloo, Bagheera and King Louie will see Jean-Bob, Speed and Puffin again in ''[[Thomas' Adventures of the Jungle Book]].''
*This film takes place after ''[[Littlefoot's Search for The Black Cauldron]]'' (which explains Ash and his friends already knowing Taran, Eilonwy, Fflewddur, and Grugi and facing The Horned King and Creeper), ''[[Sora's Search for The Black Cauldron]]'' (which explains Kronk already knowing Taran, Eilonwy, Fflewddur, and Grugi and facing The Horned King and Creeper), and ''[[Thomas' Adventures of The Emperor's New Groove]] '' (Which Kronk told Ash and his friends how he knows Rothbart).
*Both ''The Black Cauldron'' and ''The Swan Princess'' were directed by Richard Rich.
*Taran, Eilonwy, Fflewddur, Grugi, and Creeper were once planned to guest star in The Land Before Time/Swan Princess films, but due to the fact that ''[[Littlefoot Meets The Swan Princess]]'' takes place not only before the Disneyland version of ''[[Winnie the Pooh in Fantasmic!]]'', but also before the Bloom's Adventures series (including ''[[Bloom's Adventures of The Black Cauldron]]''), the characters ended up guest starring alongside The Horned King in the Pokémon/Swan Princess films (including this film) instead to avoid confusion since this film is considered a present-day adventure.
*Both ''Pokémon: The First Movie'' and ''The Swan Princess'' featured songs written by David Zippel, who also provided the singing voice of Jean-Bob in the real film.
*Like Odette turn into a swan Rothbart uses the Forbidden Arts to turn Ash into a Pikachu.
