"Oh, Ryan, I wish you could've seen this..." Kopa said as he looked up to the skies. "You too, Samson... Especially the others back at the zoo... I really hope you all are happy where you are... But none of this would be possible if it wasn't for Grandpa Mufasa and Grandma Sarabi."
"I'm sure that they are happy." Mo said.
Kopa looked over. "Oh, hi, Aunt Mo."
"Aunt Mo, I love the sound of that..." Mo chuckled. "You okay, kid?"
"Yeah, I just wish Ryan and the others could be here." Kopa said.
"Ya really miss 'em, huh?" Mo asked.
"I was very homesick, but I guess I'm a little zoosick too..." Kopa shrugged. "Ryan was really my best friend."
"And I bet they are missing you too." Atticus said.
"I wish I knew how they were..." Kopa sighed. "It sure has been a while since that adventure."
"Is it just me or do I see a group of animals that look just like them?" Estelle asked.
"What...?" Kopa stood up.
"Weren't they a koala bear, a snake, a giraffe, and a squirrel?" Atticus tried to remember as that adventure was mostly for the kids and their Pokemon while they stayed at the Plaza Hotel until they would come back.
"Yeah, along with Samson and Ryan who were a lion and a lion cub." Vincent said.
Kopa ran in the distance and came to see it was the group he knew back in the Central Park Zoo. "Is it really you guys...?"
"In the fur, little buddy." Nigel chuckled.
"Oh, look at how much you've grown," Bridget smiled. "You look fit to be the next Lion King of the Pridelands."
Kopa smiled bashfully before looking curious. "How'd you guys get here... Why are you guys here?"
"Well, we missed you so much that our life in the zoo was no longer worth staying there." Larry said.
"Really?" Kopa asked.
"I didn't live there anyway..." Benny shrugged. "But it's great to see ya again, kid."
"Plus now, Dad can become Samson of the Wild like he's always wanted." Ryan chuckled.
Kopa smiled and hugged them all, feeling very glad to see them all after so long.
"This has got to be the best day ever." Vincent smiled.
The others smiled to that in agreement.
"So, you got a girlfriend?" Ryan smirked teasingly to Kopa.
"Yeah, her name's Lukio and she's the daughter of the Jungle Emperor," Kopa replied shamelessly. "What about you?"
"No such luck." Ryan said.
"Oh..." Kopa frowned.
"I keep tellin' ya, kid," Benny said to Ryan. "There's someone out there for everybody, ya just gotta look for her!"
"Oh, come on, Benny; it's not like I'll just bump right into her." Ryan said.
"Ya never know," Benny shrugged before climbing up on the female giraffe's neck. "That's how I met Bridget."
"It's true." Bridget smiled.
Ryan hid an eye roll for them.
"It was for me and your mother..." Samson told his son about true love.
"Oh, yeah, right, as if I'm gonna waltz over and run right into-" Ryan rolled his eyes as he walked along before bumping into someone.
The one he bumped into was Vitani.
"Hey, watch it!" the dark lioness glared.
"Vitani, what did we talk about?" Kopa scolded.
"Oh... Sorry, Kopa, old habits are hard to break..." Vitani apologized.
"It's okay, I wasn't looking where I was going." Ryan said.
"No, no, it's my fault..." Vitani said.
Ryan stood up then and found himself staring into her deep blue eyes. And where Vitani found herself staring into his eyes.
"So, who's this?" Samson asked.
"This is Vitani." Kopa introduced.
"Well, I think Ryan might have just fallen in love with her." Samson said.
Ryan then blinked and blushed while Vitani smirked to him.
"Ya like to fight?" Vitani asked with a growl.
"Um... Well... I..." Ryan backed up nervously.
Vitani then lunged out for him and the two ended up rolling and she ended up on top. "Pinned ya."
"Get off." Ryan said and where Vitani did just that and where he smirked as he was going to lunge at her.
Vitani walked off until she was then lunged at from Ryan, but she ended up on top again with a smirk. "Pinned ya again."
"Just like Simba and Nala." Mo smiled.
"Yep." Atticus agreed.
Mufasa and Sarabi smiled from Heaven above as they approved of Simba's actions now that everybody in the Pridelands were now happy.
"So, who are your new friends?" Nigel asked as he saw the evolved Pokemon.
"Believe it or not, but these are the Pokemon you guys met before, but they're grown up now," Kopa replied before introducing. "Larvitar is now Tyranitar, Teddy is now an Ursaring, Vulpix is a Nintetails, and Misdreavus is now a Mismagius."
"Wow." Bridget smiled.
"They went through something called 'Evolution' which is how Pokemon grow up." Kopa explained.
"Well, I'll be." Samson looked impressed.
"Uh, you're not gonna hurt me, right?" Nigel nervously asked Teddy since he was now a full grown Ursaring and no longer a tiny baby Teddiursa.
"No, I'm not." Teddy said.
"That's a relief." Nigel smiled to him.
Teddy smiled back. "Just don't hurt my mama..." he then said in a warning tone of voice about Estelle's safety.
"Yes, sir." Nigel said.
Teddy smiled. "Sir, I like that..."
"Don't get carried away now." Ninetails teased.
"Oh, fine." Teddy pouted.
The others chuckled slightly.
Later on, the lions roared as peace returned to the Pridelands.
Kion stood with Fuli, Kopa stood with Lukio, Ryan stood with Vitani, and Kiara stood with Kovu.
"A happy ending." Lee smiled.
"Mm-hmm~" Estelle agreed as she stood by him.
'Well done, my son...' Mufasa's voice seemed to call from the heavens.
'We are one...' Sarabi's voice added.
"Who said that?" Nigel asked.
"Who said what?" Benny asked.
"You can't tell me you didn't just hear those two voices..." Nigel replied.
"I think Nigel needs to lie down now." Larry laughed goofily.
"Actually, I did hear two voices." Samson said.
"Maybe you should lie down too, Samson." Larry then said.
"Was it Grandpa?" Ryan wondered.
"No, I don't recognize these two voices..." Samson replied. "But they sounded very important."
"Those must have been Mufasa and Sarabi." Mo said.
"You think so?" Kiara asked.
"I'm sure of it." Mo said.
This made them all smile as the Circle of Life had been completed and official, even though Zira made herself perish. At least this way, she would be with Scar.
"So, what now?" Jimmy Z asked.
"I think it's time we head home." Chris suggested as he held Zaboomafu in his arms.
"I can't over you still being alive..." Cherry cooed to the lemur as she gently pet him despite not being too crazy about the Kratt brothers.
"I can't wait to try out these new creature powers." Martin smiled.
"We'll definitely put these into use on our later missions." Avivo agreed.
The kids were sad to see the Wild Kratts go, but they had to let them go.
"So, Lee, did you like Africa?" Estelle smiled as she hugged her knees. "I hear you liked gorillas next to lions."
"Yeah, you know any?" Lee asked as he sat across from her.
"Well, Dad and Aunt Cherry once knew a gorilla family who raised Tarzan: The Ape Man." Estelle replied.
"Wahoo!" Lee smiled as he brought out a Pokeball and where he soon caught Arcanine.
Estelle giggled to his excitement. Arcanine came up to Lee with a smile.
"This won't hurt them, right?" Lee asked before using his Pokeball.
"No, no, it's totally harmless." Estelle reassured.
Lee then smiled and put Arcanine in his Pokeball as he was now a proud owner of his very own Pokemon. The Pokeball wiggled a bit until Lee heard a ping sound.
"You have captured your Pokemon." Estelle announced.
"Awesome." Lee was excited to have his very Pokemon like his girlfriend and her cousins.
"Maybe this way, you can meet Ash, Serena, and all my other Pokemon adventure friends." Estelle invited.
"Yeah." Lee smiled.
Estelle smiled back.
Akito walked by innocently. "Just walking by, little lovers~"
"I'm only five minutes younger than you!" Estelle pouted.
"Five minutes littler." Akito smirked playfully.
"I'll leave you two alone to your sibling argument." Lee smirked.
Akito and Estelle then started to argue like Timon and Pumbaa about bugs as Lee then walked away.
"What happened to those two?" Mo sighed to her twins. "They used to be best friends."
"They're growing up." Atticus replied.
"And besides, they are still friends." Vincent said.
"Hmm..." Atticus and Mo hummed about that.
Akito and Estelle then laughed together after pulling on each other's hair.
Later on, everyone was then packing up to leave the Pridelands, the Wild Kratts crew had already gone ahead and left with their Tortuga.
"How do we get back home?" Lee asked.
"Leave that to us, Lee, we know what to do." Mo smiled.
"Yep." Atticus agreed.
"Your parents are cooler than mine." Lee pouted to Estelle, Akito, and Vincent.
"I'm sure they have something cool." Akito said.
Lee only rolled his eyes about his parents.
"Thanks for letting Lee come too, Daddy." Estlelle hugged Atticus.
"Yeah, Daddy..." Cherry teased.
"It was no trouble at all." Atticus said.
Estelle smiled up to him. "You're the best dad ever."
Atticus soon used his magic to teleport them all back home. Cherry, Forte, Felicity, Simon, and Mismagius then took their leave to go to their own home.
Estelle hugged Lee. "Take good care of your Arcanine now."
"I will, thanks for everything." Lee smiled as he then left the Fudo house with his Pokeball to go back home to let his family know that he was back from his trip.
The End
