Ash Ketchum Meets Joseph: King of Dreams is an upcoming Pokémon crossover made by Toonwriter. It will be uploaded on Google Drive in the near future.
Plot[]
Ash and his friends travel back in time to Ancient Egypt and meet a young Canaanite gifted with the ability to interpret dreams named Joseph, who had been sold into slavery by his jealous and selfish older brothers. But when Joseph was jailed for a long time, Ash and his friends decide to teach him how to get around Egypt. But as time went by, the Pharaoh had two dreams with a similar story. Joseph tells him that both dreams mean seven years of plenty and seven years of famine will strike Egypt and everyone will die of starvation. Ash and his friends decide to help Joseph carry out his plan to store as much food as they can before the seven years of famine happens.
Joseph is the youngest and most favored of Jacob's eleven sons, regarded as a "miracle child" because his mother Rachel had been thought barren. Joseph grows conceited under his father's special treatment, and his half-brothers come to resent him. One night Joseph dreams of a pack of wolves attacking the family's flock, and the next day the dream comes true. Another dream follows, in which Joseph sees his brothers bow before him; on telling them this, they hatch a plan to get rid of him, led by Judah. They sell him to a slave trader and take his torn coat back to Jacob, telling him that Joseph was killed by wolves.
In Egypt, Joseph is bought by Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh's guards, and gradually becomes his most trusted attendant, as well as befriending his niece Asenath. However, when Potiphar's amorous wife, spurned by Joseph, lies that he had been the one making advances on her, Potiphar has him thrown in jail, only to realize later that Joseph is not guilty of the alleged advance. Finding himself imprisoned alongside the royal butler and baker, Joseph interprets their dreams, which reveals that one will be put to death and the other will return to his position at the palace. Sure enough, the baker is executed and the butler is released. Meanwhile, Asenath supplies food to Joseph regularly.
While Joseph languishes in jail, Pharaoh comes to be troubled by nightmares which none of his advisors can interpret. Remembering Joseph, Pharaoh's butler advises him to send Potiphar to retrieve him, which he does and Potiphar apologizes to Joseph for putting him in jail. Joseph interprets the dreams as warnings of a long famine to come, and suggests that a fifth of each year's harvest be kept back for rationing. Impressed, Pharaoh makes Joseph his minister, under the name "Zaphnath-Paaneah". In the following years, Joseph's guidance not only saves the Egyptians from starvation but allows them to sell excess grain to their neighbors. Joseph marries Asenath and has two children with her.
Eventually the sons of Jacob arrive in Egypt to buy grain. They do not recognize Joseph, who refuses to sell to them and accuses them of spying, imprisoning Simeon until they can prove that they have another brother to support. They reappear with a young man named Benjamin, revealed to be Joseph's almost identical younger brother, born during his absence. Simeon is released and Joseph invites the brothers to a feast.
After the feast, Joseph has his golden chalice concealed in Benjamin's bag while no one is looking; and upon its discovery, orders that Benjamin be enslaved to see how the others will react. He is astonished when they offer themselves in Benjamin's place. Grief-stricken and ashamed, Judah confesses to having sold Benjamin's brother into slavery, a crime which has haunted him and his brothers ever since. Touched by their changed hearts, Joseph identifies himself to them. They reconcile, and Joseph invites them to live with their families in Egypt. Shortly after he is happily reunited with his father, and meets his brothers' wives and children.
Trivia[]
- This movie is a prequel to Ash Ketchum Meets The Prince of Egypt.
- In the middle of the movie, when Ash and his friends meet Joseph for the first time, they will ask about Joseph's family. Joseph tells them that his family all died from a terrible plague and left him orphaned. But when his brothers came to Egypt for food, Clemont overhears Joseph revealing to Asenath that the men he accused were his brothers. After hearing that, Clemont reveals to Ash that Joseph had been lying the whole time. Ash at first didn't believe it, but when he finds the mural with pictures of him, his father Jacob, and his brothers on it, Ash was shocked and angry at the same time. But Serena consoled him and asked him to find it in his heart to forgive him, which he did when Joseph reveals himself to his brothers.
