Description
Meanwhile a garbage truck was now picking up another load of trash. After the truck left, the gates were shutting behind it. Samson poked his head out as he watched the zoo going out of his view.

"Don't worry about a thing, big guy," Benny said as he looked through the garbage. "I got it all taken care of. I know this city like the back of my paw. We ditch this truck at Fifth Avenue, couple lefts, couple rights, bada-boom, past Broadway and--" he was then accidentally knocked off. He then landed on the street, possibly knocking him out.

Bridget started to chew as she felt the wind rush by her face.

"What are you doing here?" Samson glared at the female giraffe once he spotted her.

Bridget tried to explain, but her lips were blowing against the wind that her words came out jumbled up.

"What?!" Samson asked, not understanding what she was saying.

"She said 'we're going to help you find Ryan'!" Larry told Samson for the female giraffe.

"Oh, great." Samson narrowed his eyes before picking up the koala bear.

"Hey, guys, I've got popcorn up my bum," Nigel mumbled as he wore a popcorn bucket like a skirt. "Do I look trashy in this?"

"You look trashy with anything that has to do with anything in the garbage." Akito said.

"We came too." Kopa smiled.

"I only have until sunrise before Ryan is taken away forever and now I have to worry about you all!?" Samson sounded displeased before sighing in reluctnance. "Well... All right, fine. When do we get off this thing, Benny?"

"Benny's here!?" Bridget sounded annoyed and alarmed.

"Yeah, he's right there..." Samson pointed his paw, but the gray squirrel was not there.

"My guess is he must have been accidentally knocked off." Akito said.

Larry tried to call for Benny.

"Benny? Benny!" Samson called out. "Great, now what am I going to do?"

Bridget tried to speak again, but the same result as before happened.

"What did you say?" Felicity asked, unable to understand.

"She says 'DUCK NOW!'" Larry told her.

Samson saw a tree branch coming. "DUCK!"

They all then ducked down to avoid the branch

"Let's stay down until we get to the city." Larvitar suggested.

"I like that plan." Misdreavus said as she floated once more, again, never actually touching the ground or floor below her.

Everything then became dark as they went through a tunnel.

"I am not in the mood for a game of footsie or hoofsie or pawsie or..." Bridget spoke up in utter annoyance.

"Does anyone have something to brighten it up in here?" Kopa asked.

"I can see just fine..." Felicity spoke up.

"Yeah, but that's because you're a creature of the night!" Akito nearly scoffed at his vampire cousin.

Nigel then took out a Statue of Liberty torch to light their way and it was bright enough for them all to see now.

"Did you steal that from the gift shop?" Eloise gave him a look.

"I didn't steal it, I borrowed it," Nigel told her. "I'll light the way to Ryan!"

"How did you borrow it without anyone knowing?" Vulpix asked.

"That's not important right now." Nigel ignored his question.

Soon enough, the end of the tunnel came up and they were shown the big city.

"Wow... The big city..." Teddy smiled.

"Oh, there's no place like home..." Jenny smiled fondly at the bigger parts of the city. She was rich, but not that rich, so seeing buildings bigger than her house made her happy.

"New York, New York~..." Eloise sang.

"Wow, these buildings are so big." Teddy smiled.

"You should visit some." Jenny smiled back to him.

The animals were also impressed and taken by the beauty and size of the big city.

"Nothing could ruin this moment." Larvitar smiled.

"And then something gets ruined because you say that..." Felicity said, sounding rather pessimistic, reminiscent of her mother and how her father used to be.

"Oh, come on, what could happen?" Larvitar asked.

"Oh, I do not know, how about everything...?" Felicity sighed.

The others looked all around, seeing various buildings, screens, and more that made New York City all the appealing to be around. Bridget looked and she saw the Toys Я Us sign and saw a fellow giraffe before ducking under a stoplight. Larry felt dizzy from all the bright colors. The Pokemon even found the color of the lights in the city were very pretty to them. Samson looked extremely sad once he saw an image of him with Ryan for an ad for the zoo.

"Don't worry, I'm sure he's all right." Kopa soothed.

"I sure hope you're right." Samson said.

"I know..." Kopa sighed. "I miss Dad a lot right now myself..."

"I bet he misses you now as well." Samson assured him.

"I just wonder what's going on without me..." Kopa pouted.

"Probably nothing important." Samson shrugged.

Unfortunately Samson was wrong, because Nala was pregnant.

"Well, Nala, there will be a new heir if Kopa does not return." Rafiki informed the new Prideland queen.

"I know, but it feels like I might give birth to two cubs, one older than the other." Nala said.

"I was sorrowful myself when I heard of the loss of your son, Kopa, but I assure you, he will be back soon." Rafiki soothed the expecting mother.

"So you really think so?" Nala asked, hopeful.

"Nala, I do not think so, I know so..." Rafiki soothed.

Nala sighed, she trusted the baboon, but she wished she could know for sure. "Right... Thanks..." she then wandered off back to join Simba and her fellow lionesses back home.

"You're welcome." Rafiki said.

Nala hung her head, she was glad to become a mother again, but she was still hopelessly worried for her first born. The other lions spoke to Nala, in hopes that they could help.

"Need anything?" a lioness with a tuft on her head and dark circles under her eyes asked.

Nala looked to her, this lioness was a childhood friend of hers and Simba's and Nala usually spoke to her for girl talk. "Um... No thanks, Tama... I'll be alright..."

"Are you sure?" Tama considered. "I know what it's like to lose a cub..." she muttered softly, looking away distantly.

"I'm sure." Nala assured her.

"Well, all right... You know where to find me..." Tama promised.

Nala gave a small nod and kept going until she would find her mate.

Timon was with one female meerkat that had emerald green eyes. "Ah, Kataka, you're the only one for me..."

There were then meerkats and both seemed to have blonde hair, one had short blonde hair, and the other had flowing blonde hair with a blue hair bow.

"Oh, hello, ladies..." Timon chuckled nervously.

"Who are these two?!" Kataka asked with a glare.

"Who are we!?" the long blonde-haired meerkat glared to her. "Who are you!?"

"Now, now, I can explain everything..." Timon laughed nervously.

"Timon..." another female meerkat with gray eyes came, she gathered flowers in her paws. "You promised you'd come home hours ago after visiting your mother and Uncle Max..."

"Oh, sorry, ladies, look at the moon, I have to... RUN!" Timon then ran away from the girl meerkats.

"GET HIM!" All of the female meerkats shouted before going after the male meerkat.

Timon yelled as the girls chased him.

"Look, Timon, you were right!" Pumbaa smiled at his friend. "The ladies love you!"

"Ah, don't remind me!" Timon groaned as he ran away from the girls.

"But they're chasing after you, isn't that a good thing?" Pumbaa asked.

"That's not what I mean!" Timon screamed as he feared what would happen if he stopped running or got faced with a dead-end.

"Ohh." Pumbaa said.

Timon yelled as the female meerkats chased him to make him pay for his misdeeds.

Nala came to Simba's side as he was tossing and turning, having trouble sleeping. "Oh, my..." she whispered in worry for her mate.

Simba was now having a reoccurring nightmare of the day when Kopa was taken away.

Dad.... Dad...!!" Kopa's voice sounded echoing and haunting at the same time.

"Kopa!" Simba tried to run for Kopa as the vehicle was taking him away, he kept running, but he was going nowhere as the vehicle kept moving forward with his only cub.

"Dad! Help me! Please!" Kopa's voice kept echoing.

"Kopa!" Simba yelled, still trying to catch him. He then pounced up high in the air.

One of the men took out the gun that killed Sarabi and shot it at Simba.

"Nooooo!" Simba yelled as he was then shot.

Simba yelled out in his sleep, waking up instantly, and looked very shaken and overwhelmed.

"Simba..." Nala whispered.

"It was that nightmare again." Simba said.

"Oh, Simba..." Nala cooed, nuzzling her face against his.

"It's all my fault..." Simba shivered, feeling very miserable.

"No, it isn't." Nala said.

"Nala, I let him go out on his own, I should've asked Timon and Pumbaa or Zazu to watch him!" Simba frowned.

Nala knew that now she had to comfort him before telling him about the news of her pregnancy. Simba still felt miserable, but only the comfort of his queen could really do the trick. Nala did her best, she knew it wouldn't help all the way, but she wanted to wait until he felt all better before she would dump the news on him.

While that was going on, back in the city, the garbage truck suddenly stopped. The animals, human kids, and Pokemon then slammed against each other before falling. The walls were now slowly closing in on them.

"Oh, no! It just got worse!" Vulpix exclaimed.

"The walls are moving!" Larry panicked.

"Right... Right..." Bridget muttered sarcastically before panicking. "The walls... THE WALLS ARE MOVING!"

"Quick, Akito, you and Larvitar use your strengths to stop the walls from closing in!" Vincent told his younger brother.

"Are you sure about that?" Samson sounded doubtful at first.

"Trust me, we know what we're doing!" Akito told him as he and Larvitar pushed against the walls.

"You get everybody out, we'll take it from here!" Larvitar promised.

Okay, if you're really sure." Samson said.

"All right, don't panic," Nigel spoke up as he had a paint bucket over his head. "All we got to do is--"

Samson grabbed him and threw him out, accidentally throwing him into a stack of paint buckets. Vincent carried Jenny bridal style with Vulpix on his head and jumped out to safety with her. Eloise and Estelle held Teddy's paws and jumped out with him then. Misdreavus held Felicity by her arms and floated her out.

"Alright, next one, out." Akito said while holding the wall in place.

Bridget screamed as she struggled to get herself out after Samson and Larry made it out.

"Please don't tell me that one of your legs got to fall asleep." Akito said.

"Maybe, I'm just stuck!" Bridget grunted and she screamed as she was about to be closed in with them.

Akito and Larvitar began to use their incredible strength to make sure they wouldn't get crushed.

"Push, push!" Akito told his Pokemon.

Larvitar grunted, but he was able to push with his trainer. Bridget was too panicky to notice anything changing, so she kept screaming.

"Samson! Throw Larry to the hood of the truck!" Akito told the lion.

"You got it!" Samson agreed, he then grabbed Larry and threw him as told.

Larry gasped as he was thrown, but landed right on the hood. When the driver saw the snake, it made him scream in a panic and he ran out of the truck, thinking that the garbage came to life somehow. The walls then stopped having to be a little difficult to hold as they stopped.

"Guys?" Bridget weakly called. "Anybody? Okay... I'm freaking out..."

Samson popped his head out. "What's the hold up?"

Nigel was still kind of lost due to the bucket on his head.

"Why is there a bucket on his head?" Teddy asked while looking at Nigel.

"Probably got stuck..." Eloise suggested.

"Poor thing..." Jenny frowned and pulled the bucket off the koala bear's head.

Samson looked around, but sighed. "Bridget, can you see the green lady?" he asked her since she was the tallest out of all of them.

"I'm looking, I'm looking, but I can't see over anything for a change." Bridget frowned.

"The Statue of Liberty is at the ocean which is really far from this spot." Vincent said.

Nigel came to the others as he held his light. "I'll guide the way."

"Uh, I think we know more about it than you do... No offense..." Jenny said to the koala bear.

"Oui." Felicity agreed.

"Yeah, we know a lot more about the city." Eloise said.

There were then unfamiliar barks heard.

"Oh, those don't sound at all like Dodger and the gang..." Jenny sounded overwhelmed now.

"And luckily those also don't sound like Sykes's dogs." Vincent said.

"Yeah..." Jenny chuckled nervously.

A white poodle came with a couple of other dogs as they barked.

"Dogs..." Bridget muttered. "This should be fun."

"Okay, even though these dogs do look mean and possibly vicious, they are still defenseless animals." Akito said.

"Nigel, grab Bridget, everybody stay close together, run!" Samson demanded.

Kopa stayed close with Samson and ran with him and the other zoo animals. Suddenly they were joined with Oliver and Georgette.

"Samson, why don't you tear them to shreds?" Kopa suggested.

"All part of the plan," Samson replied. "This maneuver's known as the Serengeti Slip. Page ten of the Predator's Playbook."

"Oh, right. Wait, what?" Kopa asked.

They passed one way, but ended up in a dead end.

"What's next, Samson?" Vulpix asked nervously.

"Page eleven?" Larry mumbled.

"There's nowhere else to go." Akito said.

The dogs ran past them, going down the other street.

"Go on, you mutts!" Nigel mocked the dogs. "We could've taken you!"

Unfortunately, the dogs overheard that and came to find their new prey in the alley.

"Taken you to a... To a disco!" Nigel smiled nervously and tried to dance, but hid behind Bridget's leg. "Oh, never mind..."

Larry tried to bark and scare off the dogs, but the dogs came closer.

"HEY!" Oliver's voice yelled.

The dogs turned to see the pompous poodle and little kitten.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Oliver glared at the mean dogs.

"Indeed, leave them alone, you brutes!"Georgette added in.

"Well, hello there..." one rougher dog came over to Georgette's side. "Why don't I throw you a bone, eh, Fluffy?"

"Paws off!" Georgette scowled.

"Yeah, so stay away from my sister!" Oliver glared before realizing what he just said.

Georgette gave him a look, she looked touch for a moment before looking annoyed again.

"Oliver?" Jenny noticed her pets were there. "Georgette?"

"Ah, stay out of this, furball!" another dog shoved Oliver out of the way.

"Make me." Oliver glared.

The dog snarled, crouching down over him and barked loudly. Oliver growled back, and even though he was not a dog, he barked back, hopping off the ground, remembering what Dodger and the others taught him before Jenny found him.

And where then all of a sudden, Georgette bit down on the dog's tail. The dog whined and howled in pain. Jenny ran over to her pets, picking up Oliver instantly and sending a glare to the dogs.

"Feisty... I like that in a gal..." the other dog chuckled.

"You dogs think you got bark?" Bridget retorted. "Well Samson and Kopa got roar!"

"I can't actually roar." Kopa told her.

"Fine then, Samson, show them what you got!" Bridget then told the adult male lion.

The white poodle, though looked plucky and not that tough, looked the most menacing in his face as he growled and his eyes looked psychotic. Samson backed up onto a vent and was now thinking of a plan.

"You stay away!" Eloise told the dogs. "If my dog Weenie were here, you'd be sorry!"

"Yeah!" Estelle added in. "And Teddy is powerful."

"Larry, coil!" Samson came up with a plan.

"Check!" Larry saluted before moving his tail underneath the vent.

Samson then pinched Bridget's leg, which made her back legs jump and Larry bounce up with them and the vent opened up.

"Samson, we can beat them, just let my friends use their Pokemon and their powers." Jenny told the adult male lion.

"No, I have a plan!" Samson told her.

"Oh, really, and what might your plan be?" Jenny asked.

"Just go with it!" Samson nearly growled in her face.

Jenny's eyes widened slightly in small fright over that, he was a predator after all that could hurt her if he wanted to.

"Sam!" Bridget scolded.

"I improvised, now jump!" Samson instructed, showing the open vent.

"Oh, I am not going in there..." Georgette gagged once she saw what he was talking about.

"Just jump." Vincent said.

The group backed up and jumped when they could as the dogs barked menacingly to them. Oliver was about to jump, but the poodle bit him by his collar and held him up.

Georgette growled at that. "Let him GO!" she barked loudly, scratching all of the dogs by their noses, grabbed Oliver by his collar then and jumped with him.

"We're leaving, Larry!" Samson grabbed his snake friend to close the vent.

Unfortunately, the snake got stuck when the vent was closed. The dogs winced from their injured snouts but barked and growled. Eventually, Larry was able to sink through and join the others.

Description
Meanwhile a garbage truck was now picking up another load of trash. After the truck left, the gates were shutting behind it. Samson poked his head out as he watched the zoo going out of his view.

"Don't worry about a thing, big guy," Benny said as he looked through the garbage. "I got it all taken care of. I know this city like the back of my paw. We ditch this truck at Fifth Avenue, couple lefts, couple rights, bada-boom, past Broadway and--" he was then accidentally knocked off. He then landed on the street, possibly knocking him out.

Bridget started to chew as she felt the wind rush by her face.

"What are you doing here?" Samson glared at the female giraffe once he spotted her.

Bridget tried to explain, but her lips were blowing against the wind that her words came out jumbled up.

"What?!" Samson asked, not understanding what she was saying.

"She said 'we're going to help you find Ryan'!" Larry told Samson for the female giraffe.

"You look trashy with anything that has to do with anything in the garbage." Akito said.

"We came too." Kopa smiled.

"I only have until sunrise before Ryan is taken away forever and now I have to worry about you all!?" Samson sounded displeased before sighing in reluctnance. "Well... All right, fine. When do we get off this thing, Benny?"

"Benny's here!?" Bridget sounded annoyed and alarmed.

"Yeah, he's right there..." Samson pointed his paw, but the gray squirrel was not there.

Everything then became dark as they went through a tunnel.

"I am not in the mood for a game of footsie or hoofsie or pawsie or..." Bridget spoke up in utter annoyance.

"Does anyone have something to brighten it up in here?" Kopa asked.

"I can see just fine..." Felicity spoke up.

"Yeah, but that's because you're a creature of the night!" Akito nearly scoffed at his vampire cousin.

Nigel then took out a Statue of Liberty torch to light their way and it was bright enough for them all to see now.

"Did you steal that from the gift shop?" Eloise gave him a look.

"I didn't steal it, I borrowed it," Nigel told her. "I'll light the way to Ryan!"

"How did you borrow it without anyone knowing?" Vulpix asked.

"That's not important right now." Nigel ignored his question.

Unfortunately Samson was wrong, because Nala was pregnant.

"Well, Nala, there will be a new heir if Kopa does not return." Rafiki informed the new Prideland queen.

"Go on, you mutts!" Nigel mocked the dogs. "We could've taken you!"

"Taken you to a... To a disco!" Nigel smiled nervously and tried to dance, but hid behind Bridget's leg. "Oh, never mind..."

"HEY!" Oliver's voice yelled.

The dogs turned to see the pompous poodle and little kitten.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Oliver glared at the mean dogs.

"Indeed, leave them alone, you brutes!"Georgette added in.

"Well, hello there..." one rougher dog came over to Georgette's side. "Why don't I throw you a bone, eh, Fluffy?"

"Paws off!" Georgette scowled.

"Yeah, so stay away from my sister!" Oliver glared before realizing what he just said.

Georgette gave him a look, she looked touch for a moment before looking annoyed again.

"Oliver?" Jenny noticed her pets were there. "Georgette?"

"Ah, stay out of this, furball!" another dog shoved Oliver out of the way.

"Make me." Oliver glared.

The dog snarled, crouching down over him and barked loudly. Oliver growled back, and even though he was not a dog, he barked back, hopping off the ground, remembering what Dodger and the others taught him before Jenny found him.

And where then all of a sudden, Georgette bit down on the dog's tail. The dog whined and howled in pain. Jenny ran over to her pets, picking up Oliver instantly and sending a glare to the dogs.

"Feisty... I like that in a gal..." the other dog chuckled.

"You dogs think you got bark?" Bridget retorted. "Well Samson and Kopa got roar!"

"I can't actually roar." Kopa told her.

"Fine then, Samson, show them what you got!" Bridget then told the adult male lion.

The white poodle, though looked plucky and not that tough, looked the most menacing in his face as he growled and his eyes looked psychotic. Samson backed up onto a vent and was now thinking of a plan.

"You stay away!" Eloise told the dogs. "If my dog Weenie were here, you'd be sorry!"

"Yeah!" Estelle added in. "And Teddy is powerful."

"Larry, coil!" Samson came up with a plan.

"Check!" Larry saluted before moving his tail underneath the vent.

Samson then pinched Bridget's leg, which made her back legs jump and Larry bounce up with them and the vent opened up.

"Samson, we can beat them, just let my friends use their Pokemon and their powers." Jenny told the adult male lion.

"No, I have a plan!" Samson told her.

"Oh, really, and what might your plan be?" Jenny asked.

"Just go with it!" Samson nearly growled in her face.

Jenny's eyes widened slightly in small fright over that, he was a predator after all that could hurt her if he wanted to.

"Sam!" Bridget scolded.

"I improvised, now jump!" Samson instructed, showing the open vent.

"Oh, I am not going in there..." Georgette gagged once she saw what he was talking about.

"Just jump." Vincent said.

The group backed up and jumped when they could as the dogs barked menacingly to them. Oliver was about to jump, but the poodle bit him by his collar and held him up.

Georgette growled at that. "Let him GO!" she barked loudly, scratching all of the dogs by their noses, grabbed Oliver by his collar then and jumped with him.

"We're leaving, Larry!" Samson grabbed his snake friend to close the vent.

Unfortunately, the snake got stuck when the vent was closed. The dogs winced from their injured snouts but barked and growled. Eventually, Larry was able to sink through and join the others.
