The Pyroar King (The Lion King/Pokémon Crossover)

Hakuna Matata

"Well then, go check it out." told Pumbaa, "I think it's still alive."

So Timon did, he checked Simba's body but he found that...

"IT'S A LITLEO!!!" shrieked Timon, "RUN!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!"

Timon ran and tripped on a small rock, running again and hid on a big rock.

"W-W-W-Wait! Timon! Hold on!" called Pumbaa, "It's only a little Litleo."

"It'll evolve into a Pyroar!" complained Timon.

"But look at him. He's so cute, and all alone! Can we keep him? Can we please keep him?" begged Pumbaa, "Oh, oh, okay. I promise I'll walk him every day! If he makes a little mess, I'll clean it up."

"You'll be his little mess! Despite you're a Fire-type, he's gonna roast you into a pork chop and then cook my body like a barbecue!" complained Timon.

"But one day, when he evolves into a big and strong Pyroar, he'll be on our side!" said Pumbaa.

"A--huh! That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Maybe he'll b--" Then, Timon got an idea despite the idea already came from Pumbaa, "Hey, I've got it. What if...he's on our side? Hear me out! You know, having a Litleo that may evolve into Pyroar around might not be such a bad idea!"

"Well then, can we keep him?" asked Pumbaa again.

"Yes, of course we can keep him!" replied Timon and Pumbaa jumped with joy, "Oh Arceus, who is the brains of this operation?"

Pumbaa stopped and thought for the answer.

"Uhhh..."

"My point exactly." said Timon.

"Oh."

Suddenly, Simba woke up and found Timon and Pumbaa.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Uh, we're the guys who saved your life." replied Timon as he bravely stepped forward, "Yes. Risked everything. Fought off angry Mandibuzz!"

"Hordes of them. I mean flocks." added Pumbaa, "I'm Pumbaa and this is Timon."

"Did I mention that we saved your life?" asked Timon.

"It doesn't matter. Thanks for the help." replied Simba in a dull voice and walked few steps away.

"Whoa. How bleak is that?" asked Pumbaa to Timon, "It doesn't even matter?"

"Like I don't have enough that I'm dealing with. Now his problems are my problems." said Timon.

"But we can help him. We're in a position to help him." said Pumbaa.

"Okay." Timon agreed and stepped closer to Simba, "So, do you have a name that we wanna call you?"

"Just call me Simba." he replied.

"Okay Simba, how are you, in as few words as possible?" asked Timon.

"I did something terrible. I don't wanna talk about it." replied Simba and then, Pumbaa trotted towards Simba.

"Look, kid, we've all made mistakes." said Pumbaa, "Uh, there must be something we can do, right?"

"Not unless you can change the past." replied Simba.

"Well, you know, that's a lot to ask if I'm being honest. I mean, change the past? It already happened." said Timon.

"Yeah, so you can't change that." added Pumbaa.

"But you know what you can change? The future." said Timon, "That's our specialty."
