Things at the Orphanage was under strict command, Sakura was unlucky to get on the bad side of the supervisor and now she is hungrily cleaning out the dormitory that she and her group sleeps in. Arthur and the rest of the group tried to run back to the dormitory to help Sakura but they cannot leave the Play Room without Exploud accompanying them.
"Alright! Let's see how your punishment is going along," said Exploud bursting into the room and Sakura was just polishing the windows and she toppled over and landed in the bucket. The bucket tipped over and spilled the water inside. "Looks like you got more work to do! I will check in later and this room better be glittering or you will get it." Exploud left the room as Sakura got up and looked at how much she have to do. The water spilled over the floor and some went onto Arthur's bed. Since the water is dirty, Sakura decided to mop it up then change the sheets of Arthur's bed.
Meanwhile back in the Play Room, Arthur was in depression as he was helpless to help someone that needs him more than ever. Jasmine was also worried because she regarded Sakura as her little sister.
"Hey Arthur, come here please," said Jasmine and she was looking a little nervous. Arthur and Jasmine, with the help of their group held a discussion without appearing too suspicious.
"Yes?" asked Arthur, trying not to sound too desperate.
"I wonder what happened to Sakura, she should have finished cleaning by now and I think she is starving," whispered Jasmine as she started to open her bag that she carried with her. Inside that bag was a batch of Pecha berries that she saved for Sakura.
"I am starting to worry too, that new supervisor must have done something to keep back Sakura," said William, "but how do we check?"
"Just so happens, I have a plan to sneak out just follow my lead," said Oliver. He walked up to the Exploud and asked if he can get something from their dormitory and Exploud as expected, refused. Oliver slowly walked back to the group and whispered something to William. William walked up to Exploud again and began to pour out nonsense.
"Mr Exploud! Can I ask about you being a supervisor, I mean I think I might want to be a supervisor too someday! So what do I have to learn to be someone as great as you? Oh do you like to take care of kids…" started William who totally gave Exploud a headache and he yelled.
"STOP YOUR QUESTIONS!" yelled Exploud and using his Hyper Voice in the process. Using that moment of rage, Arthur, Jasmine and Oliver all snuck out of the room undetected and they made a beeline to the dormitory. Only to find their dormitory in ruins and Sakura passed out on the floor with the bucket on her leg.
"Sakura! Are you alright? Speak to us!" asked Arthur rushing over to her. Jasmine took out one of the Pecha berries and stuffed it into Sakura's mouth and she opened eyes.
"Oh, did I faint? I guess I better finish up the cleaning," said Sakura and when she got up the bed she and Arthur slept collapsed.
"How did that happen?' said Jasmine before Oliver fired his ember attack then something caught on fire and it was Kecleon who was sabotaging all of the things in the dormitory to tire out Sakura.
"What are you doing here!" yelled Oliver, Kecleon quickly disappeared and he escaped. Sakura, on the other hand, kept cleaning. "Are you brain dead or something? Sakura, stop cleaning! We need to tell Alice!" Sakura dropped what she was doing and went with Arthur, Jasmine and Oliver to find Alice but strangely by the background of heavy rain, the school seemed like a place full of sadness and grief and unlike the usual happy and peaceful place.
"Jasmine? Arthur?" said someone and from the darkness, Alice ran up to them with a terrifying look on her face. "All of you listen to me… You all have leave Lavinder Town and head to SunGrove City's Orphanage and give this letter to principal there but the route you 4 have to take is by going through Florinda Town. Now Go! GO!" Surprised at the request Sakura took the letter and the four of them dashed for the exit but as they raced through the hall way Exploud blocked them.
"So four little naughty kids, didn't obey the rules," mocked Exploud and he tried to launched a Hyper Voice at them but Alice blocked it with her Icy Wind. "Huh? I thought I took care of you!"
"You kids go!" yelled Alice and they ran for their dear lives into the rain. By the window of the Play Room, the rest of the group looked at the four of them as they escaped.
"Good luck you all! Good Luck..." muttered the rest of the group as the faint silhouettes of the group slowly disappeared from view and into the grey mist of the rain.
"Wait a minute, what about our parents?" asked Jasmine as they reached outside the shelter of the closed post office.
"I don't it matters but I don't know why must we go to SunGrove by Florinda town," said Arthur who was helping Charmander to get a cover for his flame. Sakura, who was holding onto the letter, opened it and took a look. "Sakura? What is that?"
"The letter we are suppose to deliver, it mentions something about a prophecy and Pokémon Raiders," said Sakura peering at the letter as she tried to understand the situation. As they figure out what to do next, they heard voices and they decide to hide inside a big box.
"I could have sworn that those kids went here!" said someone. A couple of Pokémon were talking from Arthur's point of view. Due to Sakura and Arthur's extremely sensitive ears, they heard the conversation clearly despite the heavy rain.
"We have to stop them for getting the word to the other cities!" said the other, "Fortunately, I instructed those idiots to block the road to SunGrove from here." Soon they left and Arthur, Jasmine, Oliver and Sakura toppled out of the box.
"What are they trying to say?" said Jasmine, "Well do any of you have a map?" They don't really have a choice since they don't have a map, they set off blindly into the road to Florinda Town where they will transfer to SunGrove.
"Looks like this rain is hammering our vision, we need to find shelter for the night," said Jasmine as they looked blindly around them, unable to tell if its day or night.
"Hey! There's a hollow tree and a leafy bush!" said Sakura and they headed for shelter under it.
"It's not very roomy but it will have to do…" said Oliver and they nestled in the hollow tree and leafy bush. Sakura, who was already tired and hungry went to sleep quickly and Jasmine cuddled in her tail like a cushion in the Leafy Bush while Oliver and Arthur slept in a similar fashion in the Hollow Tree. They all slepted until morning and the first morning dew dripped onto Jasmine's nose while they slept half hidden in the natural formations.
"Oh its morning?" said Jasmine as the sunlight shone through the leaves and made beautiful patterns on grass. "Sakura… Sakura! Wake up!" Jasmine used her leaf to whack Sakura so that she will wake up.
"Oh?" said Sakura and then she realized it was morning. "It's morning." Jasmine got up and woke up the boys in the hollow tree and soon after they got their bearings, they started to walk down the road to Crystal Forest. Crystal Forest was well known for the various crystals and jewels that can be found above ground level and it also have a huge Crystal in the forest's core which when sunlight hits it, it can beam down to all the well-placed natural crystal mirrors to form various rainbows just like in the human world. The Forest's crystals were made by a natural process which involves the usage of rainwater and the minerals in the soil.
"Ok we should be in Crystal Forest by now, judging by those glowing crystals," said Oliver when they entered the forest. Arthur and Sakura both suddenly heard a movement among the bushes around them.
"Everyone stay alert, I hear something in the bushes," said Arthur.
"I agree with Arthur, I hear it too," said Sakura. Then suddenly a group of Spinarak leapt out and surrounded them.
"We found them, leader!" exclaimed one of the Spinarak and Ariados came out behind them.
"Capture all of them and send them back to Lavinder Town!" said Ariados and then the Spinarak one by one turned so that their backs faced the quadruple and fired String shot attack at them. Sakura suddenly unleashed a force and the force formed a barrier that shielded them for the String shots.
"That's Protect!" exclaimed Oliver and Ariados at the same time. Sakura tried to hold it as long as she can but the move is draining her quickly as it was a move beyond her Combat Skills. Ariados used Night Shade and it tore through the Protect like a hot knife through butter and it also hit Sakura causing her to fall backwards.
"Ugh, I tried my best but I didn't hold it..." said Sakura getting up but she was heavily weakened by using Protect.
"Arthur! Only you and Sakura can escape this and reach SunGrove so you two go!" yelled Jasmine as she and Oliver fought the Spinarak hunters. Arthur and Sakura used whatever energy left and used Dig and escaped the scene and reappeared somewhere else.
"I hope that they will alright..." said Sakura as they continued on the road to Florinda Town. By late afternoon, they arrived at Florinda Town. Florinda Town was a glorious capital city and it was the former location of Treasure Town but they renamed it Florinda Town after it was destroyed in a horrible catastrophe years ago (For that story read my Eevee's Adventures Story)
Sakura and Arthur both came out of the forest and when they approached the gates, the guards stopped them.
"Halt you two! Identify yourselves!" said the guard Pokémon, Marowak to the both of them. "Are you from the Pokémon Raiders, who invaded Lavinder Town?"
"No but we are Orphans from Lavinder Pokémon Academy, we need to go to SunGrove by this way!" said Arthur, trying to explain what happened to the guard who then allowed them to end into the city but to stay for that day as it was getting late so Marowak took them around to ask for a room. Until they came to the last house which is on Sharpedo Bluff which is a cliff side that looks like a sharpedo and inside it is hollow.
"Excuse me! Can you take these kids in for the night?" asked Marowak as he knocked on the door.
"Ok, I have room!" said a very elegant and gorgeous Glaceon and a Eevee that is about her size and he have a cresent moon symbol on his fur coat.
"Thank you Melody, you been very kind," said Marowak.
"Not a problem," said Melody The Glaceon
