Scene 7

Minion 4:

Minions! They have defeated Emperor Muckraker!
(The Minions look at one another in uncertainty, then begin mumbling in confusion.)

Minion 5:
What are we going to do now?!?
Minion 7:
We can’t do anything without our leader!!
Minion 8:
(Speaking to Sparky) Help us!!!
(The Minions start chattering nervously. They are pathetic. Sparky looks at Flint. Flint looks at Cinder. Cinder looks at Fogg. She looks back. They huddle up in DSR. Sparky does not speak.)

Flint:
We can’t just leave them here like this. Look at them. Without their leader, their lives have no meaning. (He looks at Cinder.) What do we do?
Cinder:
(at a loss) I… I… I don’t know… I’m kinda new at this…
(Pokémon Theme plays in the background. The lights dim. A light comes up on as a figure enters DSL wearing a hat pulled down over his face. Our Heroes gaze in shock. Cinder steps towards him.)

Cinder:
Who… who are you?
Ash:
Don’t worry about it…
Cinder:
What?
Ash:
(lifting his head slowly) Cinder, I am Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. My friends and I have traveled together for a long time, and whenever we get into trouble, we just laugh and continue our journey.
Fogg:
What friends?
(Misty enters from USL, through crowd.)

Misty:
Friends work together to help others and each other. Take some advice from Misty: you may fight bad guys for the rest of your life, but having true friends is an even better thing.
Flint:
That makes a lot of sense.
(Brock enters through USR crowd.)

Brock:
But fighting evil isn’t the only thing. My name is Brock and I have a message for you Flint: Good friends should try to help misguided souls see a better way. Give them a happier life:
(Pikachu comes up behind Sparky and taps her on the shoulder.)

Sparky:
(turns) Huh?
Pikachu:
Chu! Pika-pika. Ka-chu! Pi-pika-pika-chu-ka-pika! Pi-ka-chu!!
Sparky:
Yes… Yes… I understand…
Minion 12:
How could you do this to us?
(Finale:Get Happy featuring Full Cast. Instrumental Cameos enter during intro.)

Sparky:
(turning to the Minions) You guys don’t need to be so upset. Muckraker was evil. You shouldn’t have been listening to him anyway. You should have been thinking for yourselves the whole time. A whole new world has been opened to you. Carpe diem! Come on. Get happy!

(Sings)
Taste the taste of freedom
Chorus:
Taste the taste of freedom
Sparky:
Liberate your soul today
Chorus:
Liberate your soul today
Sparky:
We’ve opened doors for you
Chorus:
We’ve opened doors for you
Sparky:
No more “May I” just go on through
Chorus:
No more “May I” just go on through
Sparky:
Tell me you’re tired of hanging around
And dreamin’ your life away
(She motions for the other heroes to join her)
We got the feelin’ of Saturday night
So c’mon, let’s hear you say
Heroes:
Everybody gather round
Don’t you know what we have found
Oh
Everybody get happy
Sparky:
A B C
Count me in with 1 2 3
Everyone:
Oh
Everybody get happy
Sparky:
Muckraker’s been defeated
Others:
Muckraker’s been defeated
Sparky:
Let’s keep the bad vibes well away
Others:
Keep the bad vibes well away
Sparky:
Now what you gonna do?
Others:
What we gonna do?
Sparky:
Let’s kick it off with somethin’ new

Others:
Kick it off with somethin’ new
Heroes:
Tell me you’re tired of hanging around
And dreamin’ your life away
We got the feelin’ of Saturday night
So c’mon, let’s hear you say
Everyone:
Everybody gather round
Don’t you know what we have found
Oh
Everybody get happy
Sparky:
A B C
Count me in with 1 2 3
Everyone:

(Music under)

(Sparky approaches Flint)

Sparky:
Flint… I wanted to thank you for helping me through this.
Flint:
No thanks necessary, Sparky.
Sparky:
No, I have to thank you.
(Sparky kisses Flint on the cheek, then hugs him. She looks up into his eyes. He puts his arm around her. They dance the rest of the song together, as do Fogg and Cinder.)

(Dance Break for Full Cast)

(Song Ends. Everyone freezes.)
