[A mouse scurries across the floor of a cave, sniffs the air, and washes its face. For a moment, it sits peacefully. Then it rears onto its hind legs, smelling the air, and a giant clawed paw crushes it. Slowly, the paw draws the struggling, squealing mouse into the air to reveal Scar.]
Scar: Life's not fair, is it? You see, I... Well, I shall never be king. Huh. [Scar lets the mouse scurry across his paw.] And you... [The mouse tries to jump to freedom, but Scar snags it in his claws again.] shall never see the light of another day. Hmm, hmm. Adieu. [Scar opens his jaws and lowers the mouse into his mouth.]
Zazu: Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?
Scar: [The mouse struggles to wriggle out from under Scar's paw, to no avail.] What do you want?
Zazu: I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's on his way, [Zazu bows over one wing.] so you'd better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning. [With Scar distracted, the mouse wriggles out of his grasp and escapes into a nearby hole in the wall.]
Scar: Oh, now look, Zazu. You've made me lose my lunch.
Zazu: Ha! You'll lose more than that when the king gets through with you. He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia. [Zazu crosses his wings huffily.]
Scar: Oooh, I quiver with fear! [Scar crouches and bares his teeth at Zazu.]
Zazu: [Zazu backs away as Scar creeps closer.] Now, Scar, don't look at me that way. Help! [Zazu tries to fly away, but Scar catches him in his jaws.]
Mufasa: [Mufasa's paw steps into view behind Scar.] Scar?
Scar: [Scar looks at Mufasa over his shoulder, his cheeks puffed out.] Mm-hmm?
Mufasa: Drop him.
Zazu: [Zazu's beak pokes out of Scar's mouth.] Impeccable timing, Your Majesty. [Scar spits out Zazu, who sits up with saliva-plastered wings.] Ugh.
Scar: Why, if it isn't my big brother [Scar saunters toward Mufasa.] descending from on high to mingle with the commoners. [Scar turns and saunters away.]
Mufasa:Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.
Scar: That was today? Oh, I feel simply awful! [Scar drags his claws along the wall, creating a screeching sound that makes Zazu cringe.] Must've slipped my mind.
Zazu: Yes, well, as slippery as your mind is, [Zazu flies accusingly into Scar's face.] as the king's brother, you should've been first in line! [Scar snaps his jaws shut, causing Zazu to take refuge behind Mufasa's leg.]
Scar: Well, I was first in line... [Zazu peeks out at Scar, indignant.] until the little hairball was born. [Scar thrusts his face toward Zazu, who ducks back behind Mufasa's leg.]
Mufasa: [Mufasa lowers his head to Scar's level.] That hairball is my son [Mufasa and Scar lift their heads simultaneously.] and your future king.
Scar:Oh, I shall practice my curtsy. [Scar turns and walks away.]
Mufasa: Don't turn your back on me, Scar.
Scar: Scar looks over his shoulder at Mufasa.] Oh, no, Mufasa. Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me. [Once more, Scar turns and walks away.]
Mufasa: [Mufasa launches himself after Scar.] *roars* [Mufasa blocks Scar's way and advances threateningly.] Is that a challenge?!
Scar: Temper, temper. I wouldn't dream [Scar rolls his eyes.] of challenging you.
Zazu: [Zazu emerges from under Mufasa.] Pity. Why not? [Zazu puts his wings on his hips.]
Scar: [Scar ducks his head to address Zazu.] Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share, but when it comes to brute strength... [Scar lifts his head to address Mufasa, clearly bitter and incensed. After a moment, the expression fades, and he shoulders past Mufasa, who glares at him. Scar looks back at Mufasa and Zazu.] I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool. [Scar walks off into the savanna.]
Zazu: *sighs* There's one in every family, sire. Two in mine, actually. [Zazu flies up to perch on Mufasa's shoulder.] And they always manage to ruin special occasions.
Mufasa: What am I going to do with him?
Zazu: [Zazu grins cheekly.] He'd make a very handsome throw rug.
Mufasa: [Mufasa grins back.] Zazu!
Zazu: And just think, [Zazu flies ahead of Mufasa, who walks after him.] whenever he gets dirty, you could take him out and beat him!
Mufasa: *chuckles*
Meanwhile Mouse Pokemon name Pikachu who eat Apple
Pikachu: I love this apple.
Zazu:Hi Pikachu

Pikachu:Hey Zazu what brings you here?
Zazu: I'm here to announce that King Mufasa's on his way, [Zazu bows over one wing.] so you'd and Friends have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning.
Pikachu: Well We-
Suddenly flame Pokémon name Charizard who

Pikachu:Charizard it 18 time you that Drop him.
[Mufasa's paw steps into view behind Pikachu and Charizard]
Mufasa: Charizard?
Charizard:[Charizard looks at Mufasa over his shoulder, his cheeks puffed out.] Mm-hmm?
Mufasa:Drop him.
Zazu: [Zazu's beak pokes out of Charizard's mouth.] Impeccable timing,Your Majesty.[Charizard who sits up with saliva-plastered wings.]
Zazu:Ugh.
Pikachu: Sorry Mufasa Charizard always do that. So What brings you here?
Mufasa: Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba.
Pikachu: That was today? Oh, Greninja told us about it this morning.
Charizard: Must've slipped our mind.
Zazu: Yes, well, as slippery as your mind is, [Zazu flies accusingly into Pikachu and Charizard's face.] as the king's best friend you should've been first in line! [Charizard snaps his jaws shut, causing Zazu to take refuge behind Mufasa's leg.]
Pikachu: I know That Zazu and you know that animals and Pokemon Live in harmony.
[Pikachu and Charizard turns and walks away.]
Mufasa: Don't turn your back on me, Pikachu
Charizard:[Pikachu and Charizard looks over They his shoulder at Mufasa.] Oh, no, Mufasa. Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on Pikachu Parents[Once more Pikachu and Charizard turns and walks away.]
Mufasa: [Mufasa launches himself after Pikachu and Charizard.] *roars* [Mufasa blocks Pikachu and Charizard's way and advances threateningly.] Is that a challenge?!
Pikachu: Mufasa Greninja told me that us Pokemon is not challenge you and never turn back my parents you know that.
Zazu: [Zazu emerges from under Mufasa.] Pity. Why not? [Zazu puts his wings on his hips.]
Pikachu: Well, as far as brains go, I got the Pokemon share, but when it comes to brute strength.. one day Mufasa your son will learn about Pokémon and Animal live in harmony.
[Pikachu and Charizard walks off into the savanna.]
Mufasa:What am I going to do with him?
Zazu: Oh, come on. We both know he and Pokemon should've been expelled from the Pride Lands long ago.
Mufasa: He's my best friend Zazu This is his home Every since his Parents died he was little Pichu As long as I am king, that will never change.
[Mufasa and Zazu left]
The scene fades. Clouds roil over the savanna. Thunder rumbles, and curtains of rain fall in the distance. The smooth surface of a river is disrupted by heavy rainfall. Thunder booms, and lightning zigzags across the sky, illuminating Rafiki's lone baobab tree. Inside, Rafiki uses a gourd to paint a lion cub, with lightning occasionally lighting up his canvas.]
Rafiki: *mutters* Ah. [Rafiki sets down one gourd and picks up another.] Hmm. [Rafiki smiles at his handiwork.] *laughs* [Rafiki dips his thumb in the paint and smears it across the painted cub's forehead.] Simba. *chuckles* The screen grows dark around the painting of Simba before it disappears completely.]
