Lights…Camera…CUT!
by MeowthMix
A/N: An author by the name ofMeowthMix wrote LLC a few years back. After a while, she lost her Pokemon interest, changed her screen name to Hizzy, and deleted all of her Pokemon fanfics. This is one of these, and in my judgment, it is possibly the best. (Please note, however, that MeowthMix/Hizzy says that she thinks her writing has greatly improved over the years. So, don't judge her writing by your opinion of this). I got my inspiration for the not-yet-finished "Rocket Christmas" from this fanfic, so if anything seems familiar, that's the reason. Anyway, here is "Lights…Camera…CUT!", unchanged from MM/H's computer.
LIGHTS CAMERA CUT: Part 1
"The scripts are finally in!" the director announced as he handed everyone their parts for the next movie.
Misty read the title aloud, "Pokémon: the last movie."
"I've got several more on the way," the director said proudly, "the sequel is one to end all sequels!"
"If there's more movies coming why do you call it the last movie?" questioned Brock.
"Nevermind that," the director opened the heavy packet to the first page,
"The star of the movie is-"
"Me?" Jessie asked hopefully. The director stared at her for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Of course not!" he chuckled, "Only heroes can be stars!"
James spoke up, "That's not true! What about Frosty the Snowman?"
Meowth gave James an odd look but decided to ignore his strange comment, "Who IS going to be the star?"
The director was again proud of himself, "It stars Tracey!"
"But Tracey's gone," Ash said.
"I knew something was wrong with this!" he collected all the scripts, organized them, and threw each one into the fire which was conveniently placed by the buffet table, although they fail to see how that's convenient. "That's all right. I have a back up script." Everyone took one of the new scripts that were stacked on top of the other back up scripts the writers made, accurately assuming the rest would be turned down.
Misty also read this title aloud because she had been placed head of the reading aloud department, "Pokémon: the last movie that doesn't feature Tracey."
"Brilliant, I know," the director boasted, "Why don't you all read through your parts to see if you like it?"
Everyone opened to the beginning.
ASH: Hurry, Pikachu! She could be following us!
PIKACHU: Pika pi!
ASH bends down and starts to inspect PIKACHU for injuries
ASH: That mean old Jessie! How dare she try to steal you!
They hurry back to the farm where Uncle Oak and Auntie Ivy are waiting for them
Ash looked up from his script, "Um...why am I living on a farm with Professor Oak and Ivy?"
"They asked the same thing," the director explained without giving a real reason.
ASH: Auntie Ivy! Uncle Oak! You've gotta help me! Jessie is trying to steal Pikachu again!
OAK: Well, what'd we tell you about letting it electrocute her?
ASH: But she started it! She was the one who put him in a bag and ran off with him!
IVY: Well, just stay away from her and she'll leave you both alone.
JESSIE rides into the farmyard on a bicycle
JESSIE: I'm here to take the rotten little pikachu away!
ASH: What do you want with my pikachu?
JESSIE: I've got an official order to put the horrid beast to sleep!
"I'm trying to steal the pikachu, not put it to sleep!"
"You're getting out of character! Just keep going!"
ASH: You can't have my pikachu! I won't let you!
OAK: Yes, that's right. We can work something out. How about a shiny new quarter?
JESSIE: All I want is the pikachu!
JESSIE grabs PIKACHU
JESSIE: Don't try to stop me you little brat!
ASH: Oh! You...you...you dumb-head!
ASH runs to the farmhouse in tears
IVY: Not again! It took him hours to get over the last pikachu that got put to sleep!
JESSIE put PIKACHU into the basket on her bicycle and pedals away
Scene moves to ASH's bedroom
ASH: How could she! Now I'll never get to see Pikachu again!
PIKACHU jumps into the room from the window
PIKACHU: Pika pi!
ASH: Pikachu! I'm so glad to finally see you again! And after all these years you look exactly the same! But wait...Jessie will just come back to get you...We'll have to run away!
ASH and PIKACHU run away
ASH and PIKACHU run back
PIKACHU: Pika pi?
ASH: I know that we WERE going to run away but I remember the weather man saying that a tornado was going to carry the house away so I'm going to go into my room now.
PIKACHU: Pika pi.
Tornado comes and carries ASH, PIKACHU, and the house away
They all looked up from their scripts again."Are you aware that plagiarism is illegal?" asked Brock.
The director was once again put on the spot, "Hey! I had the idea first! They stole it from me!"
ASH: Whew! I was afraid that tornado would carry us away with it!
PIKACHU: Pika pi.
ASH: What? It did? ...Well, the important thing is that we're together at last!
PIKACHU: Pika pi...
ASH: Don't take that tone with me!
ASH and PIKACHU walk out the door
ASH: Wow! It's all so colorful in this strange new place...too colorful...
ASH and PIKACHU put on sunglasses
ASH and PIKACHU wander throughout the new place
ASH: Pikachu, I have a feeling we're not in Pallet anymore.
Ash stopped to conceal the word 'rip-off' in a series of coughs. James said 'We're out of chips' in between coughs and Meowth coughed because he had a cold.
A bubble floats toward ASH and PIKACHU. It grows larger and in it appears MISTY, the gym leader of the north
MISTY: Welcome to the wonderful land of Ez.
ASH: What?
MISTY: Welcome to the wonderful land of Ez.
ASH: What is Ez? Where is this place? How do I get back to Pallet?
MISTY: Welcome to the wonderful land of Ez.
MISTY disappears in the bubble and floats away
"Is that the only part I get in this stupid movie?" Misty demanded.
"Or is it?" the director said mysteriously.
"What is that supposed to mean?" she inquired.
"It's...a secret. Bum bum BUUUUUM!" he said, giving himself sound effects.
"Does your whole life revolve around boasting about your movies and constantly pretending your in one?" she folded her arms over her chest.
"That's what YOU'D like to know."
"AGH! Answer my question!"
"Well, Ms. 'I'm so important just because I'M head of the reading aloud department' I figured it was best to leave your character mysterious."
"I think the real mystery is going to be getting yourself a new actress for this part!" Misty shouted.
"Go ahead and leave," said the director casually, "I'll just give James that extra part he's wanted."
James grinned, "You obviously haven't seen the dress the good gym leader of the north gets to wear! It makes the short appearance all worth it!"
Misty sighed, "I'll stay...but only because I keep getting images of the episode Holiday at Acapulco every time he mentions wearing women's clothing."
ASH: Gee, that magic gym leader wasn't a lot of help, was she, Pikachu.
PIKACHU: Pika pi.
RITCHIE, the homunculus enters
RITCHIE: Hello there! Welcome to Ez!
ASH: Please don't float away in a bubble!
RITCHIE: Ah, so you've been honored with a visit from the good gym leader of the north! You must be a very important person! Are you a gym leader, too?
ASH: No...should I? Where do I sign up?
RITCHIE: Oh, but you must be! You defeated the wicked gym leader of east with your house!
ASH: Really?
ASH looks under his house to find CASSIDY, the wicked gym leader of the east under it
ASH: Eeeeew!
RITCHIE: What did you expect? You just crushed her with your house!
ASH: Great...Um...now that I've saved the day...how do I get back to Pallet
Town?
RITCHIE: Pallet...Town?
ASH: Yeah.
RITCHIE: Never heard of it.
ASH: This is just perfect! I'm stuck in some stupid little town with midgets running around everywhere!
RITCHIE: Excuse me, I'm a homunculus.
ASH: I don't care! Get me back to Pallet Town!
RITCHIE: Not with that attitude.
ASH: Fine! I'm sorry! NOW will you help me?
RITCHIE: You didn't sound very sincere.
ASH: Then I'll just drop my house on you!
RITCHIE: You already dropped it on the gym leader of the east.
ASH: Well, then I'll...I'll...drop the house on ME. Then Uncle Oak and Auntie Ivy will resurrect me back in Pallet Town.
RITCHIE: All right. All right. I'll help you.
ASH: Cool.
RITCHIE: There's not much I can do but the Honcho of Ez can do anything!
ASH: Where's this Honcho guy?
RITCHIE: The Honcho of Ez can be found in Diamond City.
ASH: How do I get there?
RITCHIE: All you have to do is follow the yellow paved bike trail!
ASH: What yellow paved bike trail?
RITCHIE: Oh...I forgot...they repainted it...just follow that bike trail to Diamond City.
ASH: Sounds easy enough.
RITCHIE: It may SOUND easy but there are many dangers along the way...I know! The wicked gym leader of the east's ruby sneakers have special powers. They can protect you.
RITCHIE points to the pair of ruby sneakers on CASSIDY'S feet, which are sticking out from under the house
ASH: I'm NOT wearing some dead gym leaders ruby sneakers!
RITCHIE: Why not?
ASH: Those things are UGLY! I mean, come on! Who would WANT to wear ruby sneakers?
RITCHIE: Be that way! Don't wear them! You'll be sorry when the wicked gym leader of the west shows up to claim them!
JESSIE, the wicked gym leader of the west appears
JESSIE: You killed the sister I would have had if my mom married her dad but they didn't so technically she's not my sister but I'll call her my sister for no good reason!
RITCHIE: Now look what you've done! She's come to claim the ruby sneakers!
JESSIE: I don't want those hideous things! I just came for revenge, even though I didn't like my sister to begin with!
ASH gasps
JESSIE: OK, I lied. I'm going to steal your pikachu.
ASH gasps
PIKACHU: Pika pi?
PIKACHU electrocutes JESSIE
JESSIE: Have it your way! But I'll be back! Then you'll see! I'm indestructible!
ASH: If you're indestructible than why are you leaving?
JESSIE: Uh...uh...
JESSIE vanishes in a cloud of smoke
ASH: Now, about that bike trail?
RITCHIE: Yes, all you do is follow it!
ASH: Are there any forks in the trail or dead ends?
RITCHIE vanishes in a cloud of smoke
