Jasmine hauled Sakura to a tiny spring and then she pushed Sakura into the water. Sakura, who didn't know how to swim, started to panic.
"Help! I can't swim!" cried Sakura as she splashed around in the spring. Jasmine smacked her paw to her face.
"Just stand up… it's as small as a kid pool…" said Jasmine and there was a embarrassing sight of Sakura just standing up and Jasmine was right the water is just up to her fur coat. "Now get yourself cleaned, Sakura, I will keep these boys from looking." Jasmine then left Sakura to deal with Jake, Arthur and Oliver. Sakura took a deep breath and lunge herself into the water. Sakura saw a peaceful place under the surface of the water. The rocks shone in the refracted sunlight, lighting up the spring. Suddenly something caught Sakura's eye, something pink floated across her face. It is her light Pink Amherst Sakura Key. Sakura heaved her waterlogged body onto the side of the spring.
"Ahh.. that felt nice!" said Sakura then she shook herself furiously to dry herself. Sakura took a look at her Key and stared at for a long time, thinking of her mom.
"Sakura? Are you done? Oh you are looking at your Key," said Jasmine popping out of the bushes. Sakura hastily tried to hide the key back into her fur coat. "Not to alarm you but we all know about your key necklace already…"
"But how did you know?" asked Sakura, slowing taking the key back out. Jasmine walked up to her and took hold of the key tenderly. "I thought I hid it perfectly…"
"You did hide it well but since you returned from the office and we all notice that glittering key," said Jasmine, taking a sip from the spring. "So if you are done, let's go to the Barnyard." Sakura thought that since her friends know about the necklace, she decide to wear it without hiding it in her fur coat anymore. They both went back to the group who was waiting furiously for them.
"Sorry, it took so long…" apologized Sakura and they almost immediately let it go. They went back to the Barnyard near where Sakura fell off the Cliff.
"Ahh you youngsters must be here to help!" commented a Raichu with a straw hat. "I be the owner of this Barn, Ned."
"Pleasure Ned! I am Jasmine…" said Jasmine but before she finished. Ned took hold of her arm and shook it in delight.
"Jasmine? Daughter of Rita and Berry? Oh sweet nibbles!" said Ned. When Ned finally let go, Jasmine was shaking but she recovered almost instantly. "Ok let's see what kind of things, you all folk can do around here." Ned looked around, around the kitchen, barn and the living room before Tea and Tae came in.
"Howdy y'all, Dad we need more folk to harvest the deeper Orchard and also plant the baby seeds!" said Tae. Ned looked as if an idea struck him.
"Ok! You!" said Ned suddenly pointing to Oliver, "Y'all get to help my wife cook!" Oliver then headed off to the kitchen where he is in charge of heating the charcoal and firewood. "Then you three can help Tae with the apple picking!" Ned continued pointing to Jasmine, Jake and Oliver who was then dragged out of the Barn by Tae, who was extreme strong despite his small size. "Now last you with the gem around your neck! You will be with Tea to help plant the seeds."
"Howdy there partner! Name's Tea!" said Tea to Sakura, "What's yours?"
"Oh my name is Sakura, glad to meet you, Tea," replied Sakura politely. Tea then went out with Sakura following her to the shed where they both took their straw hats and their tools. Sakura and Tea walked down a forest path way and Sakura was enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Sakura, ever since she was a baby, loved natural beauty of forest, waterfalls and groves. "Wow… this place is so peaceful and nice!"
"Glad you loved it here, now to start preparing the soil for planting," said Tea taking up a hoe. Sakura helped by digging with her paws. Meanwhile back at the Orchard, Tae was showing Jake how to use the electric powers they wield to get the apples. Jasmine was using her vine to tenderly pick the apples from the trees and place them in the cart Arthur was pulling.
It wasn't long until the gang had to leave but before they do, Ned kindly prepared a small snack for them. Sakura wasn't at the dining table and Tea told them that she was still planting the seeds. Arthur and Jasmine took Sakura's share and went to find her. Sakura was later found unconscious on the grass next to the seeds she and Tea planted.
"Sakura! Wake up!" said Jasmine trying to shake Sakura awake but Arthur had his attention elsewhere. "Arthur, what are you looking at? Help me wake her up!" but then Arthur growled and Jasmine saw a large figure appearing before them.
"So you are at weakling's pals huh?" said an Ursaring glaring at Jasmine and Arthur. "Tell me where is the Immortality Seed is!" Arthur had enough and used his Extreme Speed to deliver quick and dark attacks. But that Ursaring seemed different than a normal one, Jasmine wisely took Sakura somewhere safe while Arthur distracted him.
"Arthur be careful how you fight him! He seems different!" said Jasmine but Arthur was in a Rage and cannot hear her and continued to attack the Ursaring with everything he got. Suddenly from out of thin air, came 2 orbs that are sparking with energy appeared floating on the top of Ursaring's palms.
"Force Push!" yelled the Ursaring and when he collided the two orbs, Arthur felt himself being pushed backwards by an extremely powerful force.
"What was that? It was almost like Magic!" said Arthur, trying to stand on his feet after he was pushed back. Ursaring took the time that they are confounded by fact that he was using Magic, to summon 2 more orbs but they are more like living fireballs. Before they knew what hit them, Ursaring shot the two fiery orbs at Arthur and Jasmine.
"Heh… its just two fire balls, we can dodge it!" said Arthur but then the 2 fire balls split into 64 fire balls of the same sizes just before it hits them. With a burning flare flash, both Arthur and Jasmine was knocked back and badly burnt. Ursaring then slowly approached Sakura who he knocked out earlier and then when he was about do another spell, a bolt of light came from the shadow of the trees and it stuck Ursaring on the head. Ursaring then blacked and topped on the grass.
"How sad… so much promise and yet he chose to do this…" said a voice and a mysterious Xatu came out from the orchard. He walked towards Ursaring before he stepped on Sakura, "Huh? What… is… this?" asked the Xatu before using his claws to turn Sakura around and the Amherst Key can be clearly seen. "Wait could this girl be…" said Xatu but he decide to find the answer to that question later and then he went around to Jasmine, Arthur and Sakura one by one and erased their memories before he teleported with Ursaring to somewhere unknown.
"Hey y'all! Wake up! A COP AT THE DOOR AND HE GOT A WARREN!" yelled someone but was quickly interrupted by someone else.
"Tae why did you say that?" asked a voice, "there is no cop in Sun-Grove, is there?"
"I thought I give it a shot, it work on dad," said Tae. Sakura, surprising, came out better than Jasmine and Arthur who was both suffering serious burns and for Arthur, a bruise from the powerful shockwave of the Force Push.
"Do any of you remember what happened?" asked Oliver, inspecting the burns. "It must have been a powerful fire type to be able to give these kinds of burns." So they all swaggered off to the last place they need to visit for the day, The Sun-Grove Orphanage. Sakura, Arthur and Jasmine are suffering from a headache and they couldn't recall anything from the fight earlier with the Ursaring. The Sun was beginning to set and the sky is now pinkish-orange. They soon stopped in front of a building. It's bigger than most other buildings and it looks nearly broken down and you can easily see a chronology to it. Jasmine went up to the door and knocked on it and a Lopunny appeared at the door.
"Can I help you?" asked the Lopunny in a soothing voice. Jasmine took out the letter that Alice entrusted them to deliver to the principal of the Orphanage.
"Are you the head of the orphanage?" asked Jasmine and Lopunny merely shook her head and Jasmine openly handed the letter over to her. With the letter in her possession, Lopunny read it and then hesitated before she spoke.
"So… you all are from Lavinder Town, I presume?" asked Lopunny. "Well I am Ariel, may I ask where are you staying at?"
"We are staying at my parents house, Dr Berry and Rita's place," said Jasmine, "But we need to find another place for some of us as my house cannot account for everyone…"
"Well some of you are welcome to sleep at the Orphanage," said Ariel after thinking hard about it. With that, Jasmine took Sakura with her while Arthur, Jake and Oliver went with Ariel. Sun-Grove is very bright during night time as fireflies are nearly everywhere as Sakura and Jasmine walked back to the house.
"So how do you think of Sun-Grove?" asked Jasmine, Sakura failed to reply as she was taken away by the way Sun-Grove looks at night. "I guess you like a lot!"
"Yes, I love it here," said Sakura, enjoying the fresh air and the sound of crickets. Meanwhile as everyone slept peacefully, there is something amidst in the Castle of Sun-Grove.
"Countess, what can you make from this?" asked the Xatu who captured the Ursaring. He is talking to the Countess and somehow showing her a photographic image of Sakura and with her Amherst Key clearly visible. "Why is this girl holding one of the keys to our vaults?"
"I am not sure myself but I am making your job to find out for me and the king," said Countess Elise the Delcatty. "Report to me your findings and I will see to it that you are rewarded handsomely."
