Hi, everyone! I decided to do a redo of this story with a little help from UltraKaiFan! I hope you like this bit better!

*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR THOMAS AND FRIENDS!*

Manon, Ella, Etta and Chris were having wonderful playing around with each other! Marinette, Alya and Nino we're there too! Then, Ash came back to Marinette's house, holding a book!

Ash: I'm back!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Goh: Hi, everyone!

Grookey: GROOKEY KEY!

Marinette: Hey, Ash! Goh! Where were you?

Ash: I just went back home to grab something I know you guys will be interested in! [hold up the book]

Alya: A book?

Ash: Not just any book! A book that I wrote myself! [comes over to the group] And this book happens to be about one of my most epic adventures!

Manon: Oh boy! A story! [sits in Marinette's lap while Ella and Etta sit in Alya's lap and Chris sits in Nino's]

Ash: You guys are gonna like this story! This story is about a sentient train, named Thomas, and how I, along with some new friends took a trip down the magic railroad and went to a place called Sodor Island and helped stop an evil claw-bearing diesel engine! Now, if you don't know what that is, the magic railroad is a magical railroad as imagined by a man named Burnett Stone! And it's operated by Lady, the Lost Steam Engine who called Muffle Mountain her home!

Manon, Ella, Etta and Chris: Ooh.

Ash: Yep! [while he opens the book, whose title is "Pokémon the Movie: Thomas and the Magic Railroad", revealing the first chapter] This story, unlike any other stories, is a very special one! This is a story about trains, Pokémon far apart [as the screen changed to the Thomas and the Magic Railroad movie as it shows Thomas puffing out of a tunnel] and the Magic Railroad that brought them together as they were meant to be!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA…

Ash (voiceover): Now, every story, like a railroad, has its heroes! I happen to be one of them, but I don't appear until later! [as the screen shows Thomas] Meet Thomas! He's our number one hero!

Thomas: [whistles] Hello!

Ash (voiceover): But he's running a little late today!

(Scene changes to the Water Mill on Thomas's Branch Line as Thomas puffs along with Annie and Clarabel)

Ash (voiceover): This here's the Island of Sodor where Thomas and his friends live! The magic here is closely linked with a special universe within this story!

[engines chattering and saying hello to each other and blowing whistles]

Ash (voiceover): Everything runs like clockwork here, under the authority of Sir Topham Hatt of course!

Gordon: [counting; scowls] Five, six, seven, eight…

Thomas: [arrives right next to him] Who do we appreciate! Practicing your numbers, Gordon? That's a good engine!

Gordon: I'm counting how many seconds late you are. Hm. What does that sign say?

Thomas: [reads the sign] "Sodor Railway! Really reliable and right on time!"

Gordon: [scoffs]

Thomas: "Signed: Head of the Railway, Sir Topham Hatt!"

Gordon: But you weren't on time, little Thomas!

Thomas: And you're being bossy, Gordon! Now, please excuse me! I'm meeting Mr Conductor! He's looking after us while Sir Topham Hatt takes a much-needed holiday!

Gordon: Oh, I think we can take care of ourselves!

Suddenly, a large brownish green diesel rushed by with a claw on his roof, leaving them in the dust!

Diesel 10: GET OUT OF MY WAY! I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS HERE AND I WANNA FINISH IT FAST!

Gordon: [while shaking; scared] Oh, Diesel 10's back! Ooh.

Thomas: Yes, ten out of ten for devious deeds and brutal strength! The blast from the past who hates steam engines!

Gordon: Maybe we do need Mr. Conductor here after all. On time too…

And that's the end of part one! I hope you all enjoyed it! And there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
