Simba: All right, it worked!
Nala: We lost them.
Simba: {Arrogantly} I... am a genius.
Nala: Hey, Genius, it was my idea. Simba: Yeah, but I pulled it off.
Nala: With me!
Simba: Oh yeah? ...Rrarr!
(Simba jumps at Nala; they tussle quickly. Nala ends on top and pins Simba with her forepaws, producing a resounding thump)
Nala: Ha. Pinned ya.
Simba: {Annoyed} Hey, lemme up.
(Nala turns away smiling. Simba looks at her and jumps at her again. They tussle, rolling down a short hill. She pins him again in the same position with another thump)
Nala: Pinned. Ya. Again.
[A nearby geyser erupts.]
Simba and Nala:*gasps*
[As the steam clears, Simba and Nala notice a nearby ridge, over which an elephant skull is barely visible. Simba pads closer, a grin spreading across his face. Together, the cubs climb the ridge to view the skull.]
Simba: This is it. We made it.
Simba and Nala: [Simba and Nala jump up on one of the skull's tusks and overlook the Elephant Graveyard. They exchange awed looks.] Whoa!
Nala: It's really creepy.
Simba: Yeah. Isn't it great?
Nala: Relishing her naughtiness} We could get in big trouble.
Simba: {Enjoying it also} I know, huh.
Nala: {Looking at the skull} I wonder if its brains are still in there.
Simba: {Walking towards the skull} There's only one way to know. Come on. Let's go check it out.
{Simba walks towards the mouth of the skull. Zazu flaps suddenly up in front of them, emitting a sharp squawk of "Wrong!" and giving the audience a start.}
Zazu: The only checking out you will do will be to check out of here.
Simba: Aw, man.
Pikachu: What were you thinking?! Why are you doing this, why?!?
Riolu: Well, it's a good thing that Zazu found you two in time.
Zazu:[Zazu wrings his wings nervously.] We're way beyond the boundary of the Pride Lands.
Simba: Huh. Look. Banana Beak is scared. Heh.
Zazu: {Poking Simba in the nose} That's Mr. Banana Beak to you, fuzzy. And right now, we are all in very real danger.
Pikachu: Zazu is right this place is dangerous.
Simba:Danger? Ha! I walk on the wild side. [Simba pauses in front of the skull, crouching low.] I laugh in the face of danger. [Simba rears back his head dramatically.] Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed[from inside the skull] *laughs* [Simba's expression turns to horror. He races away from the skull and hides behind Nala, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Zazu.Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed emerge from within the elephant skull and prowl toward Simba and Nala, whom Zazu shields with his wings.]
Sceptile: Oh I hate hyenas.
Shenzi:Well, well, well, Banzai. What have we got here?
Banzai: Hmm. I don't know, Shenzi. Uh... what do you think, Ed?
Ed: {Crazy laughter}
(They circle around the cubs, Pikachu and his friends and Zazu)
Banzai: Yeah, just what I was thinking. A bunch of trespassers!
Zazu: [Zazu clasps his wings like they're hands.] And quite by accident, let me assure you. [Simba and Nala start to slink off.] A simple navigational error. [Zazu tries to follow Simba and Nala, but Shenzi steps on his tail, halting him.]
Shenzi: Whoa, whoa, wait wait wait... I know you. {peering close into the camera} You're Mufasa's little stooge.
Zazu: I, madam, am the king's majordomo.
Banzai: {Looking at Simba} And that would make you...?
Simba: The future king.
Shenzi: Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?
Pikachu: Well, I don't know, and I do not want to find out what it is.
Simba: Puh! You can't do anything to me.
Zazu: Uh, technically, they can. [Zazu steeples his wings like they're fingers.] We are on their land.
Simba: But, Zazu, you told me they're nothing but slobbering, [Zazu desperately signals Simba to stop.] mangy, stupid poachers.
Zazu: [Zazu nervously clasps his wings like they're hands.] Ix-nay on the upid-stay...
Banzai:[Banzai juts his head accusingly at Zazu.] Who are you callin' "upid-stay"?!
Zazu: My, my, my! [Simba, Nala, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Zazu]Oh, look at the sun! It's time to go!
Shenzi: [Shenzi cuts off Simba, Nala, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Zazu] What's the hurry? We'd love [Shenzi advances on Simba, Nala, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Zazu causing them to back away. Zazu shields the cubs with his wings.] you to stick around for dinner.
Charizard: What's for dinner? [He realize something] Wait a minute, I think we're not having with them, I think we are the "dinner".
Chespin: Charizard's right, they're gonna to eat us!
Staraptor: Oh man! Come on, we better scramble!
Shenzi: Why are you leaving? We could use some company.
Banzai: Yeaaaah! We could have whatever's... "lion" around! {In the background} Get it? Lion around! {laughs}
Shenzi: Oh wait, wait, wait. I got one, I got one. Make mine a "cub" sandwich. Whatcha think?
Ed:[Ed gestures wildly.] *jabbers incoherently*
Shenzi:What, Ed? What is it?
Banzai: [Banzai looks in the direction Ed is pointing.] Hey, did we order this dinner to-go?
Shenzi:No. Why?
Banzai: 'Cause there it goes!
[Simba, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Nala race away, with Zazu flying overhead.]
Pikachu: Run guys take run!
Simba and Nala: *pants*
Zazu: [As he flies, Zazu is caught by his tail and yanked backward.] *squawks*
Simba and Nala:*pants*
[Simba, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Nala pause in the middle of the Elephant Graveyard.]
Nala: Did we lose 'em?
Simba: I think so.
Oshawott: We sure gave them the slip.
Squirtle: Thank goodness.
Pikachu: [Pikachu look around]Hey, where's Zazu?
Zazu: [Zazu struggles as Banzai jerks him around by his wings. Ed and Shenzi watch gleefully.] Aah!
Banzai: The little majordomo bird hippity-hopped all the way to the birdie-boiler. {He walks Zazu to the vent and stuffs him into it, plugging it up.}
Zazu: Oh, no! Not the birdie boiler! [The geyser explodes, sending Zazu shooting into the air like a rocket.] Aah!
Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed:*laughs*
Simba: Hey! [Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed stop laughing and look up to where Simba is standing on the ridge above them.] Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?
Shenzi: Like... you?
Simba: Oops.
Pikachu: Run for your lives!
Nala: [Simba, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Nala away. Shenzi nips at Nala's hindquarters.] *screams*
Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed: [Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed emerge through the steam, blocking Simba, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Nala and Nala's path.] Boo!
Simba and Nala:[Simba and Nala skid to a halt.] *gasps*
Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed: *laughs* [Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed bite threateningly at Simba, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Nala.]
[Simba, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Nala Simba and Nala run away, with the hyenas in hot pursuit. The cubs and the Pokemons climb an elephant skull, and Banzai leaps after them, taking a snap at their hindquarters.]
Nala: *shrieks*
Simba and Nala: [Simba, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Nala slide down an elephant spine. They shoot off the end and land on a hill of bones.] *screams* [Simba Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and  Nala begin to climb hastily as the hyenas close in from below.]
Nala: [from offscreen] Simba!
Simba:[Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Simba pauses at the top of the hill and looks back in horror.] *gasps*
Nala: [Nala slides down the hill toward the hyenas.] *screams*
Pikachu: Charizard help Nala.
Charizard: Got it.
[Charizard Flying back down the hill and use
Dragon Claw Shenzi's cheek right as she is about to bite Nala.]
Shenzi:*snarls*
[Simba, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard,Sceptile, Infernape, Staraptor, Riolu, Oshawott,Fennekin,Chespin, and Nala into a high-walled section of the Elephant Graveyard. They clamber up an elephant skeleton and paw desperately at the high wall, only for the rotting skin to break under them and send them tumbling to the ground. They clamber back to their paws, backing away in terror.]
Simba and Nala:*gasps*
Banzai: [Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed close in.] Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Oshawott: Oh no! We're trapped!
Squirtle: And about to be eaten by hyenas!
Bulbasaur: What should we do now?!
Simba: [Simba stands protectively in front of a cowering Nala.] *roars weakly*
Shenzi:That was it? *laughs* Do it again. Come on.
Mufasa: [Simba roars again, seemingly with a full-grown lion's roar.] *roars*
