Ash Ketchum (Pinocchio)

(Opening titles play)

(When You Wish Upon a Star plays)

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires will come to you

If your heart is in your dreams

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do

Fate is kind

She brings to those who love

The sweet fulfilment

Of their secret longing

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh

(Fade to where Mario is his library singing the rest of the song

Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and sees you through

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams come true

Mario: Pretty, huh? I'll bet a lot of you guys don't believe that about a wish coming true? Well, do you? Well, I didn't, either. Of course I'm just the famous Nintendo character singing my way from heart to hearth, but, let me tell you what made me change my mind, and the time I met a Pokemon Trainer named Ash Ketchum.

(He slides down the book, and he opens the book)

Mario: One night, a long time...(The page starts to fall, but Mario stops it) Oh, ahem, pardon me. Wait till I get this thing fixed. (He puts a jar on the page to keep the book open) Okay, here we go. (Starts reading) One night, a long time ago, my travels took me to a quiet little place called Pallet Town on the isle of Kanto.

(We are now in the book where it is nighttime over Pallet Town)

Mario: (Continues narrating) It was a beautiful night. The stars were all shining like diamonds high atop the roofs of that sleepy old town. Pretty as a picture, huh?

(We now head over to Professor Oak's lab)

Mario: (Narrating) As I walked along the crooked streets, there wasn't a soul to be seen. The only sign of life was a lighted window in the laboratory of a Pokemon Professor named, uh, Professor Oak. So, I hopped over...

(The camera jumps over until it gets close to the window)

Mario: (Continues narrating) ...and looked in. It was a shame to see a nice, cheerful fire going to waste. So what do I do?

(Mario is now at the window before he goes to the door)

Mario: (Narrating) I go in. (He enters the lab) I looked around. Of course being a strange place like that. I did not know what to expect. Sometimes, I can't be too careful, you know. Soon as I saw that there was no one about, I made myself at home.

(Mario puts down his luggage, then walks over to the fire. He carefully pulls out a piece of hot coal with a stick. Then he starts warming himself)

Mario: (Narrating) As I stood there warming myself up, I took a look around. (We now take a look around Professor Oak's lab and all of the video game characters and Pokemon who are created by Professor Oak) Well, sir, you never such a place like this. The most fantastic creations you've ever laid your eyes on, and they're all made with good genetics. And cool merchandise you'll see. Every one of these is a work of art. And you'll see various poster of upcoming mixed-up movies, video games, anime, and lots of other things. And shelf after shelf of many video game characters made into toys and put into books and movies and um...

(Cut back to Mario)

Mario: (Narrating) And then something else caught my eye...

(We now see a Pokemon Trainer, who's unfinished, but later to be named Ash Ketchum)

Mario: (Narrating) ...a Pokemon Trainer! You know, those guys who train their Pokemon. They're the most important players of all Pokemon games.

(Mario goes up to Ash, who's not brought to life yet)

Mario: (Chuckles) Cute little fella. Ding-ding. Going up? (Taps on Ash) Good piece of wood, too.
