ANP #021: The Little Genius
(Cue OP-On Our Way-as the song plays, we see various shots of the Pokemon cast in the backstage area, getting ready for a show: Misty walks past one member of the lighting crew, making her trip and drop her paints, which color some of the notes on Brock's sheet music. He tries to clean the music, only to get walloped by a basketball in the face (thrown by May) Pikachu runs past all of this, down a hallway, and through a door with a star on it marked "Ash". He cries "Pika!" and points at a clock, which is ticking dangerously close to "Show Time!" Ash notices the time on the clock and ducks behind a screen to get ready, when he finishes, he's now decked out in a red top hat (with the same design as his cap) and tails. Ash then runs head on at the camera and makes a flying entrance onto a stage as the song concludes)
Female announcer: And now, it's time for the Ash and Pikachu Show!
(Pikachu climbs onto Ash's shoulder and smiles as the title card flies in from the right, a short clip of "On Our Way" in the background)
(Applause as Ash runs onstage to greet the crowd)
Ash: Thank you so much! Tonight we have a little bit of sibling rivalry...
Max(offstage): Am I on yet?
May(offstage): No, Ash hasn't announced you yet!
Max(offstage): I'm a little nervous...
Ash: See what I mean? (laughter) Anyway, we're featuring someone who may be small, but has enough brains to put an Alakazam to shame! (light applause) So, please welcome Max to the stage. (applause)
(A loud trombone gliss catches Ash's attention. He whirls around to find Brock trying to play a trombone--and not doing a very good job.)
Max: Hey, Ash said this was my show, not yours. (proceeds to drag Brock, trombone and all, offstage)
Ash: Thanks...
May: I don't know whether a sick Golduck would sound better or worse....
Max: He was hogging my spotlight....
(May joins Max and Ash onstage)
May: Here, watch a cartoon to make up for Brock spoiling your big debut...
(starts the projector)
(CARTOON-Maxxed Out!)
(As the cartoon concludes, the soundtrack is mysteriously replaced by an off key and flat trombone)
(We return to the stage, where May, Max, and Ash have their ears covered.)
Ash: Okay, who muted the cartoon's sountrack?
Max: I'd rather listen to a Donphan than this...(stuffs cotton balls in his ears)
(The cane suddenly appears from stage right and yanks Brock offstage, trombone and all)
May: Thanks Misty!
Misty: Anytine! (sticks pencil behind her ear ans heads backstage. Max follows, where he watches Misty prep the drawing board)
(On Our Way interlude plays as title card appears-'Back to the Drawing Board' with Misty". Misty's face appears in the o in "Board")
(A white screen appears, simulating a blank piece of paper)
(Brock is drawn on the screen in his normal clothes)
Misty(voiceover): If you're gonna play trombone, at least do it right! (the pencil draws the trombone from earlier, as well as a music stand and various sheet music.)
(Brock takes his instrument and is about to play something when the phone rings. He sets the trombone aside and storms over to the phone.)
Brock: Hello?...who?...You don't say! (hangs up and returns to the trombone.)
Misty(voiceover): Who was it?
Brock: He didn't say! (is about to play something until the doorbell rings) NOW what? (goes to the front door and returns with a package.)
Misty(voiceover): What is it?
(Brock opens the package to find a few books of sheet music. He selects one and puts it on the stand)
Brock: Now, is there anything ELSE I need to do in order to practice?
(Nincadas chirp)
Brock: Okay...(begins to practice the song. We notice the song's title is "The End Rag")
(Max laughs as Misty draws the final scene)
Max: Now Brock knows how I feel when I get interrupted from something!
(Brock enters, this time holding a harmonica.)
Brock: Look, you guys...I didn't mean to annoy you earlier--
Max: Hey, I can play the harmonica too! (gets his own instrument and plays a random song)
Brock: While he's doing that... (starts the projector)
(CARTOON-"En Gardevoir!", part 1)
(We return to the stage to find Ash, May, Max, and Brock onstage, all holding harmonicas. Brock's is noticably larger than the others)
Brock: Okay, everyone...1, 2, 3...(the group plays "On Top of Old Smokey" in four part harmony: Ash on melody, May on harmony, Max on rhythm, and Brock on bass. When they finish, the crowd applauds)
May: Railroad....(Max obliges and leads everyone into "I've Been Working on the Railroad", complete with realistic train noises. The audience applauds.)
Ash: One more...(he leads everyone into "When the Saints Go Marching In". The audience claps along, and applauds when they're done)
Pikachu: Pika pi! (starts the projector)
(CARTOON-"En Gardevoir!", part 2)
(We join Ash, Pikachu, May, Max, and Brock on the stage)
Ash: Well, we're about out of time....
Max: I did have fun, even if Brock was annoying....can we play our harmonicas some more?
May: Not now, it's time to say goodbye!
Ash: I don't see why we cant! (gets his own instrument) See ya next time!
Pikachu: Pika! (waves goodbye as the curtain closes. A harmonica quartet version of "On Our Way" plays in the background as the credits roll)
