Hey there, my faithful viewers! I'm here to bring you... well, call it an experiment if you will. This is a sample of a little something that came to my head called 'The Pride Team Adventures'. I thought I'd write out this sample, see if you readers like it or not. If so, then I'll think about having some more parts of The Pride Team Adventures fresh from the oven.
Now, I don't own anything from Pokemon, Ice Age, the Lion King, CatDog, or the Angry Beavers! This is just for fun. (Not to mention a little experimentation.)
Here's the sample, guys! I give you...
The Pride Team Adventures: Dawn of the Dinosaurs!
Somewhere in icy mountains in the world, someone was sniffing at the icy ground in search of something. That someone is a saber-tooth squirrel who is named Scrat, and what he was trying to find are acorns. Finding acorns has been Scrat's goal in life even after he was thawed out from a block of ice after 20,000 years.
As he was sniffing, Scrat stopped just at the edge of a cliff. He looked to see that it looked to be about a 200 foot drop, and what was hidden in the cloudy abyss is a complete mystery to him. Yet, he was not in any hurry of finding out for himself.
When he caught the scent of something, Scrat looked over at another cliff, and he was happy to see the very thing he was looking for... His prized nut. He quickly scurried across the vine that was attached to both cliffs, and also being careful not to fall off, until he finally made it to the other side. Just as he was about to get his prize, Scrat screamed when he saw that his nut was mysteriously missing.
He scanned the area and saw a bunch of leaves being scattered behind a tree. Scrat had a feeling that it must've been the thief that took his beloved nut, so he dove into a pile of leaves and made his way towards the tree. He emerged from the leaf pile with his back against the tree, then he slowly peaked his head to catch the thief. Just as he was about to set his plan to get his nut back into action, he froze and gasped in awe.
What he was gazing at was a female species of his own kind, something he thought he'd never see after 20,000 years of being in ice. The orange fur, and the dazzling blue eyes were making Scrat's heart skip a beat when he saw the female of his kind, called Scratte, blink in a beautiful kind of way. Scrat, now in love, groaned happily and fell to his side. He quickly got up and hid behind the tree as he gazed lovingly at Scratte.
But, when Scratte pulled out the same nut he was after, Scrat clawed at the tree bark, out of his love daze, and then quickly hid behind the tree again. He groaned in annoyance when he saw his beloved nut in the paws of a female of his own kind. Why should she keep it with her? That nut was his first!
When Scratte put the nut down, she had her back turned to continue her work. This gave Scrat the perfect chance to get his acorn back. As hard as he could, he stretched out his hand to grab the nut. But, as he grabbed the acorn, Scratte also grabbed it, that made Scrat come out of his hiding spot. The two saber-tooth squirrels looked into each others eyes. But then Scrat yanked the acorn away from Scratte and began to walk away with his prize, grumbling as he did.
Then he suddenly heard the sound of whimpering and sobbing, he turned to see Scratte breaking down in tears. He began to feel guilty, yet he was also fighting his uncontrollable for acorns. He was edging closer to Scratte, and while hesitating, he held out the acorn to her as a gesture of apology. Seeing the acorn in front of her made Scratte happy again. But, just as she had her paws on it, she grew annoyed when she saw that Scrat wasn't letting go of the acorn. It seems his uncontrollable desire for the acorn was coming back to him.
Scratte tried to pull it away, but Scrat pulled back. Then it turned into a tug-o-war for the acorn as they began to spin around. Then, Scrat unknowingly sent Scratte flying and happily hugged the acorn. Then he froze when he heard Scratte's panicked scream. He looked over the cliff to see Scratte falling down towards the cloudy abyss. He cried out in alarm, and after fighting with himself a little on the inside, he dove down to save her. He got closer and closer to her, he held out the acorn to her, until finally they were both holding on to the acorn.
Scrat groaned happily when he was looking at Scratte up close. They were both holding on to the acorn and still falling to the abyss below, it was quite a romantic moment. Too bad it couldn't last...
Suddenly, Scratte yanked the acorn away from Scrat, who was surprised by that. Scratte gave him a wink, and he surprised him even more by sprouting out wings that grew and then she flew away with the nut.
"Huh?" Scrat muttered. Then he realized that he was still falling down to the abyss. "AAAHHHH!" He screamed in terror. Scrat tried to pull his skin to sprout out wings like Scratte did, sadly he was not a saber-tooth flying squirrel like her. So he screamed as he fell into the cloudy abyss below. When he finally crashed, and the clouds formed a heart shape.
On the hard ground, Scrat groaned and pulled himself a little out of the hole shaped like him. As he tried to recover from the crash landing, the ground began to shake. Feeling like something causing the shaking was getting closer, Scrat looked up to find out the cause.
"It's happening!" Cried out Manny who was carrying a shell full of water in his trunk and tusks. Going at incredible yet distracting speeds. Scrat ducked back in the hole just before Manny passed by.
Scrat came back out half way to glare at the mammoth. But then, he was stepped on by a Pikachu, who was once a human being, named Max, then by Riolu, and by Rockruff, and by Crash, and finally by Eddie. That made Scrat yell out in frustration at them.
"Wait up, guys!" Sid called out to his friends. The sloth then unknowingly dragged Scrat out of the hole with his foot. Sid panicked when he saw the squirrel on his foot and tried to shake him off, but he accidentally flung Scrat to his head. Scrat, finally having enough, unleashed his anger out on the sloth who screamed and tried to get Scrat off of him.
Meanwhile, Manny and the others were still rushing as they went over the stone bridge to the village where all animals from the days of the Ice Age have been staying ever since the Tree of Life and Max's powerful friendship belief in his heart brought Ice Age animals back to life after 20,000 years.
"The baby's coming! The baby's coming!" Manny hysterically cried out, nearly trampling over some of the animals who moved out of the way in sheer annoyance.
"Oops! Sorry about that!" Max apologized as he, Riolu, Rockruff, Crash, and Eddie still followed after their mammoth friend.
"Watch it!" one of the Ice Age animals yelled.
"I'm having a baby!" Manny called out.
"Code blue! Code blue!" Crash called out, running on all fours to follow his mammoth brother-in-law.
"Or pink! If it's a girl!" Eddie added, running on his two legs.
"Manny, be careful! Watch where you're going, will ya?" Rockruff called out.
"Having a baby! Having a baby! I'm coming, Ellie!" Manny then tripped on a rock, since he wasn't looking where he was going, and was now sliding on the snow down hill as he accidentally threw the shell into the air and now it was beginning to fall down.
"We got it!" Crash cried out as he and Eddie climbed up Manny's trunk to catch the shell. Max, Riolu, and Rockruff held on to Manny's tail just as the shell landed on Crash and Eddie. They stopped themselves just at the tip of the edge of a cliff over trees to the ground below them.
The six of them sighed in relief. "Wow, that was a close call." Riolu laughed a little. "A little too close for my taste." Max added.
Suddenly, Sid came running and screaming, still trying to get the very angry Scrat off of him. He wasn't paying attention and was running towards his friends who began to panic.
"No! Sid, wait! STOP!" Max, Riolu, and Rockruff cried out, but it was too late. While Sid managed to get Scrat off of him, the sloth still crashed into his friends. All seven of them screamed as they bumped into a couple of trees and then finally landed in a pile of soft snow.
While Max, Riolu, and Rockruff were still in the snow, groaning in pain, Manny got back on his feet, looking around with the shell, now rid of any water, on his head, covering his vision, and with Sid stuck on his butt. "Ellie! Ellie! Ellie, where are you? Where am I!?" Manny cried out.
Just then, Ellie came to him, along with their friends Kate, a Togetic who was also once a human being in the past, a Midday form Lycanroc named Light, a Midnight form Lycanroc named Crimson, Norbert, Daggett, CatDog, Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour.
After giggling a little at her husband's actions, Ellie called to get Manny's attention, "Manny?" As Manny turned to the sound of Ellie's voice, Sid fell off with a somewhat shocked expression on his face. "I told you it was just a kick." Ellie gestured to her stomach with her trunk.
Hearing this, Manny lifted the shell off his head, making Crash and Eddie slide off his face. Realizing that he misunderstood, Manny sighed in relief, "Oh, right! Right! *Phew* Wow!"
While Max, Riolu, and Rockruff shook the snow out of their fur and joined their friends, Manny bend over to the stomach holding his and Ellie's unborn baby mammoth and began to talk to the child in baby talk, "You really gave Daddy a scare! Daddy got silly! Daddy fall down cliff and go boom, boom, boom, boom. Silly Daddy. Yeah."
That was starting to creep everyone out. Norbert noticed that this was drawing a crowd of the local animals. "Manny, my main mammoth, you might want to take cinco on the child talk. For one thing, it's embarrassing to us. Second of all, it's causing a scene!" Norbert told his mammoth friend.
He heard the beaver and saw the expressions on their faces, Manny stood up and told the others, "Sorry, folks. False alarm. It was just a kick."
That made them groan in disappointment and annoyance. ...Mostly annoyance. "You know who I'd like to kick?" a Mole-hog grumbled in sarcasm.
"That's the third false alarm this week!" a Jynx added, just as annoyed as any other animal and Pokemon in the icy village who began to walk away to do their own thing.
"All right, show's over, break it up! Break it up!" Sid escorted both animals and Pokemon away from his friends. Then he noticed a female horned beaver with a big belly. Mistakenly he cooed, "Oh! I see someone else who has a bun in the oven!"
Of course, that offended the female horned beaver, "Oh! I'm not pregnant!" Then she whacked Sid with her stick and then she walked away.
"Ow! That's too bad. You'd make a wonderful mother!" Sid groaned and rubbed his sore head, just before he got hit by the same stick again and landed on the ground in pain.
The Pride Team members sighed and Max's ears drooped in disappointment. He seemed to be pretty excited about it the most. It would be the first time an Ice Age mammal would be born in the modern world 20,000 years after the Ice Age.
Seeing this, Kate walked over to the upset Pikachu and told him, "Max, I know that you and Manny are excited. Believe me, everyone in the team is, but you're getting just a little carried away."
Max stood up straight and laughed sheepishly, "Right, of course. Sorry about that. Jeez, starting to sound like Diego." Then Max looked around for their saber friend, who wasn't with them for them moment. "Uh, speaking of Diego, where is he?"
In another part of the valley, a lone antelope was eating the grass, even though he once thought he heard something and glanced around cautiously before going back to eating.
Hiding in the bushes near him was Diego, and he was doing what any other predator would do, hunting for his prey. He was crouched low and was growling softly. He waited until the antelope was distracted, and then...
He roared and leaped at the antelope, who screamed and ran off. Diego, not wanting to let his prey get away chased after him. The chase was going pretty well.
But, just as Diego was getting close to the antelope, he was starting to feel exhausted and his heart was thumping too hard, his vision was beginning to blur a bit. Then he slowed down to a complete stop, letting the antelope escape. Diego was now breathing heavily and wheezing, but he still had enough energy to prevent himself from collapsing to the ground.
The antelope noticed the tiger's condition and began to cheer as well as mock, "HA! Hahahaha!" Then he began to snootily dance around the exhausted tiger, "Woo! My hooves are burning, baby! They are burning! Oh, look at this. I got to tip-toe! I got to tip-toe! Eat my dust, dingo!" Then the antelope kicked dirt in Diego's face and raced off, laughing in triumph as he did.
This left Diego exhausted and defeated, not to mention humiliated since his prey laughed in his face.
