The Sun rose high up in the sky, awaking all the Pokémon of the savannah.

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

Mufasa, The Pyroar King of Pride Rock looked over the land, all the Pokémon of the Pride Lands were arriving accordingly. Then Zazu, the king's Chatot advisor, landed in front him on the edge of Pride Rock, He bowed before Mufasa with a big smile. Mufasa glanced at Zazu then looked back the crowed of animals, this time with a big heart warming smile. Suddenly from the crowed, emerged the staff of a good friend of the family. The King continued to smile as Rafiki, the elderly Mankey emerged from the crowd. He climbed onto Pride Rock and looked at the king with a warm smile. The two embraced each other with a big hug before turning the Queen, Sarabi. Mufasa and Sarabi embraced each other with an affectionate head rub, then turned to their attention to the baby Litleo in the queens paws. Rafiki smiled at the prince and dangled his staff in front of the infant. He then ripped apart on of the fruits on the staff, taking the juices of it and rubbing it on the princes forehead. He then picked up sand and sprinkled it on the prince, causing the little tyke to sneeze. Rafiki then picked up the child, and with a big smile walked toward the edge of Pride Rock. The King and Queen looked at each other with a proud look. Rafiki stood at the edge of Pride Rock and presented the cub before the rest of the Pokémon causing them to erupt in cheers.

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle...

The Circle of Life

Deeper in Pride Rock...

a small Dedenne emerged from a small opening in the wall of the cave. It groomed itself but suddenly stopped and sniffed the air. It was about to run when it found itself pinned by the massive paw of Scar, a thin lanky Luxray with a scar over his right eye. The rodent Pokémon struggled as it was lifted up in the air.

"Life's not fair is it?" Scar asked rhetorically.

"You see I, well I, shall never be king."

The Dedenne began to crawl all over Scars Paw, in response, Scar playfully moved his paw with the tiny Pokémon.

"And you..."

It jumped off Scar's paw but was quickly re-caught.

"Shall never see the light of another day. Adieu."

Scar was about to eat the small Pokémon when a voice rang out from behind him.

"So this is where you were the whole time."

It was Zazu.

"What do you want?" Scar said with a groan.

"I'm here to announce that King Mufasa is on his way, so you better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning."

Suddenly the Dedenne managed to slip out of Scars paw and scurry back into the shadows.

"Oh look Zazu, you made me loose my lunch."

"Ha! You'll loose more than that when the king gets through with you, he's as mad as a Hippowdon with a hernia"

"Oooooo, I quiver with fear." Scar's eyes began to glow as he edged, menacingly towards Zazu.

"Now Scar, don't look at me that way, HELP!" Zazu tried to fly away but was quickly snatched up by Scar.

"Scar." A booming voice rang out.

Scar turned to see his older brother, Mufasa standing on an edge above him.

"Drop him."

Zazu's beak poked out of Scar's mouth.

"Impeccable timing, your majesty."

Scar spat out Zazu who cringed a bit, being covered in spit.

"Well, if isn't his 'Majesty', Mufasa, come to mingle with the common folk."

"Sarabi and I didn't see you at the presentation of Simba." Mufasa said clearly angered.

"That was today?" Scar responded with obvious sarcasm in his voice. "Oh I feel simply awful." He then clawed on the rocks making a sound like nails on a chalk board. Zazu cringed hearing this. "Must have slipped my mind."

"Well, mister, as slippery as your mind is, as the king's brother you should have been first in line." Zazu quickly retreated as Scar's front teeth began to surge with electricity.

"Well I was first in line." There was a deep resentment in Scar's voice. "Until the little puffball was born."

"That 'puffball', is my son." The King, having little patience at this point. "And your future king."

"Oh I shall practice my courtesy." Scar turned around and began to walk away.

"Don't turn your back on me, Scar."

"Oh no, brother, perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me."

Suddenly a fireball landed next to Scar, accompanied with a vicious roar, causing Scar to turn his head towards his brother.

"Is that a Challenge?!" Mufasa snarled, steam rising from his nostrils.

"Temper, temper, I wouldn't dream of challenging you." Scar then began to make his leave.

"Pity why not?" Scar stopped and turned his head towards Zazu.

"Well as far as brains go, I've got the Luxray's share," He began to move again. "But when it comes to brute strength, well, I'm afraid I'm on the shallow end of the gene pool."

Scar then left out into the savannah.

Zazu sighed and flew onto Mufasa's shoulder.

"Well, there's one in every family sire. Two in my case actually. And they always manage to spoil the special occasion."

"What am I going to do with him..." Mufasa grumbled.

"He'd make a handsome throw rug."

"Zazu!"

"And just think when he gets dirty, you can take him out and beat him."

Later that night...

In a large tree in the distance, Rafiki was painting on the inside of his tree humming lovingly to himself as he finished up on the painting of a certain painting of a Litleo. He chuckled to himself as he added a red stripe on the top of the head.

"Simba..."
