The clouds began to weep and their teardrops fall down to earth, landing on leaves and formed dews or hitting the soil and making plants happy. Unlike the plants, Arthur and the rest of group was just like clouds, weeping for the death of one of their friends.
"There's a cave ahead… we can take shelter in there," muttered Jasmine sadly as the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Arthur actually muttered something but the sound of rain made it impossible to be heard. Everyone soon settled in the cave, using the remains of the bag to start a small bonfire to warm everyone up. Arthur went back to Crystal Cave and something caught his eyes. It's was glittering in the rubble, he went and swiped away some of the destructive remains and discovered a Key with a Sakura bow and the key blade is like vines.
"Isn't this… Sakura's ?" cried Arthur delicately holding the key. To Arthur, that key was a priceless treasure. "I will find you… one day…" That Key somehow gave Arthur a boost to his spirits and he felt confident that they can find Sakura and that is, more importantly alive. Arthur then noticed something when he thought back, he somehow dashed quickly and in almost no time at all reached out of harm's way. He turned to face the race and tried to focus a ring in his mind's eyes and then he saw it in reality. He then ran into it and he went into a quick dash and he zipped back to the cave. His sudden appearance nearly gave everyone else a heart attack.
"Woah! Arthur? How did you do it?" asked Oliver as Arthur zipped inside the cave at supersonic speed. Arthur didn't bother to explain and just show them what he found. "Isn't this Sakura's key?" asked Jasmine, inspecting the key and the same realization hit Jasmine that Sakura might be alive.
"We will find her… somehow…" said Arthur, taking the key back and keeping it safe in his fur coat. After that everyone went to sleep as the cold winds blew into the cave and giving them a restless night sleep.
The next morning, the leaves contained drops of dew and they glittered in the misty sunshine. From the cliff outside the exit of Crystal Cave, Sun-Grove Town can be clearly seen in the golden sunlight. Sun-Grove Town was well known for all-year around summer despite contradicting forecast predictions from professionals from other towns. Sun-Grove is situated in the middle of a Grove and near a spring which is what the local call Sun Falls as there is a colossal waterfall. There are several folklores related to Sun Falls and most of them are attributed to the goddess of the sun which was part of their belief. Sun-Grove was rather medieval and stone towers and castles stood with the natural surroundings. Back at the cliff outside Crystal Cave, There was a small orchard near where Sakura fell and it belonged to a family of farmers who made use of the sunny weather to grow summer seasonal fruits and vegetables.
"Hey Li' Sis! Bro! Fetch me some apples from the orchard!" yelled someone from inside the barn. And a twin of Plusle and Minun got out of the barn with a basket and into the orchard.
"Yesterday's storm is bigger than that mountain!" commented Minun as they made their way into the orchard and they started to climb onto each other to reach the apples and putting them into the baskets. "Hey Tea! There are more perfect apples deeper into the orchard"
"Alright Tae, wait for me!" said Tea the Plusle, following her twin brother, Tae the Minun. They never went deeper into the Orchard before but most of the perfect apples are found there. They soon entered the deeper part and the trees are all packed with Perfect apples. Tea set the basket down then saw Tae signaling to her. "Here I come!" Tea ran towards Tae at top speed and Tae knelt down and when Tea leapt onto his hands, he pushed Tea to the tree where she grabbed two apples and landed by the baskets.
"Impressive Tea!" said Tae, coming back to Tea who was placing the apples into the baskets. "Hey let's go catch a look at the sun before we go back!"
"Alright!" said Tea and they went into a clearing but when they get there, they saw something unconscious on the grass. "Hey Tae, what is that brown thing?" Tae went up to it and saw that it have brown and cream colored fur and it was messy with twigs and leaves all over it. Tae noticed that one of its legs seems dislocated.
"Tea! Call for help, this little fella is in serious trouble!" yelled Tae and Tea quickly dashed off into the barn with the basket to get help. Meanwhile Tae took out his handkerchief and found a piece of wood and he made a cast for the dislocated leg and he tried to carry her back to the barn. "I wonder who this is… but I hope she is alright."
Back at the Cave by the Cliff, the group was beginning to wake up from their slumber and getting ready to depart down the cliff and to find Sakura. Arthur looked down the cliff and he couldn't see Sakura but he knew that she must have landed somewhere in the forest.
"Well guys, I can show you around Sun-Grove a little, I lived here before," said Jasmine grabbing a rope ladder that was attached to the side of the cliff and tested it to see if its still sturdy.
"Why didn't you tell about this rope ladder earlier!" said Arthur.
"This rope ladder must only be used sparingly or it will most likely to break when we are using it!" said Jasmine, climbing down the rope ladder. Arthur followed soon afterward but when Oliver went on it, the rope start to tear apart. Oliver wisely retreated back up the ladders as it tore apart.
"The ladder broke!" yelled Oliver to Jasmine who is just outside the orchard.
"There is another cave system that can take you down here but be careful as its extremely wet," yelled back Jasmine. "Arthur and I will go and find Sakura!"
"Alright! Good luck!" finished Oliver as he and Jake went into the cave system while Jasmine and Arthur went around looking. Back at the barn, Tae brought Sakura back while Tea's parents called the doctor.
"Hey look! It's my parents!" said Jasmine after she saw a familiar Bayleef entering the Barn with another familiar figure of Ivysaur. "Let's go meet them and they might help us!" Arthur agreed with Jasmine completely that if they meet up with Jasmine's Parents, they would be one step closer to finding Sakura. As they approached the Barn door, they can clearly hear voices.
"What happened to this Eevee! Its like she jumped off a cliff!" asked a voice that Jasmine recognized as her mom's. "Her condition is terrible! A dislocated leg and its fractured! And don't even get me started on the…"
"It's ok, darling! I think they got the picture very clearly," started a second voice which Jasmine automatically recognized as her dad's. "I mean you stated the worst of all the injuries on this girl and not to mention you was just about blab out her little secret!"
"Secret?" whispered Arthur to Jasmine. "I am positive that the female Eevee they are talking about is Sakura but what secret?"
"Sorry, honey… its just that… Sakura here suffered a lot even before she was even born," commented Bayleef. "Anyway I think we can take her to our house for her to recover, thanks for finding her."
"I think that's our cue to HIDE!" whispered Jasmine and pulling Arthur down with her into a bush but they toppled out the other side and colliding the twins, Tea and Tae. As Jasmine's parents, Rita the Bayleef and Barry the Ivysaur, walked by and saw vaguely Jasmine and Arthur as well as Tea and Tae.
"Jasmine? Sweetie?" asked Rita, peering over the bush and then clearly seeing Jasmine, Arthur, Tea and Tae. "You never told us you were coming to visit!" Arthur then saw Sakura resting on Rita's back.
"Sorry but there was a sort of a problem!" said Jasmine, "Can I see Sakura for awhile?" Rita, with the help of Berry, lifted Sakura down from her back and set her down. Jasmine took the letter from Sakura's fur coat.
"May I ask what is the big secret about Sakura?" asked Arthur. Berry and Rita then noticed Arthur.
"Oh you must be Arthur!" said Rita, happily but then suddenly dropped her volume and tone by a huge level. "I think its safer if I told you at my place." Arthur took out the key he kept safe and put it back on Sakura's neck where it rightfully belongs. They all walked down Floral Lane to a house that is decorated from top to bottom with various flowers and filled with spiritual floral aroma. Rita gently tucked Sakura into a comfy bed before meeting Arthur and Jasmine in the living room.
"Mom… Dad… what have you been keeping so secret for Sakura?" asked Jasmine assertively. Rita and Barry looked at each other then took a sip of herbal tea. "Well it all started like this…" started Rita.
During half a month before that Sakura was being born, Rita was in the operation room for the nearly 50th time that day. Rita met Sakura's mother's eyes as she gave birth to Sakura and she was in a lot of pain. "Please… give this… to my child!" puffed Sakura's mom as she held out the key on a string. Then the heart tracker suddenly showed a heart rate of zero. Sakura's Egg was laid out properly and the other nurses took it to the incubation.
"She's dead…" commented one of the doctors. Rita, who was not convinced that Sakura's mom would do something like this to her own daughter, left the room in tears. She filled out the form and sent a letter to the father who was The King Of Sun-Grove as its related to the Queen getting a new child, Sakura.
