Episode 140: Sakura of the Kimono Sisters
After winning his fourth Gym Badge, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, Pikachu, Angel, Blossom, Togepi, and the Pichu returned to the Pokémon Center to have Umbreon, Murkrow, and Houndour healed from their injuries they endured during the battle.
While they were healing, Sora was looking at the map on his PokéGear to figure out where to go next.
"Well, this is interesting," Sora said.
"What's interesting, Sora?" Kairi asked.
"Well, according to the PokéGear, we can head for the east towards Mahogany Town, or we can go west to Olivine City," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"So, which way do you think we should go, Sora?" Tracey asked.
"Hm," Sora said, scratching his head. He then gets an idea. "How about we flip for it." Sora accessed the coin app on his PokéGear. "Heads, we go east. Tails, we go west." He pressed the coin on the screen and it lands on tails. "Tails. We go west."
"Pikachu!" Pikachu said.
"Great! We can head there as soon as we're ready," Karen said. Sora looked over to his sister.
"Don't you forget that you're only with us until we find Tom," Sora reminded her.
"Yeah, yeah, Sora. I know," Karen said. The bell rings, indicating that Sora's Pokémon are fully healed. Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, and the Pokémon heads for the counter as Nurse Joy and Blissey walked up with the two Pokéballs and Friend Ball.
"How are my Pokémon, Nurse Joy?" Sora asked.
"Your Umbreon, Murkrow, and Houndour all are doing fine," Nurse Joy said.
"Thanks a lot," Sora said.
"Before we go, I was thinking we should check out the local tea ceremony. Ecruteak City is quite famous for it," Kairi said. Sora found it cute that Kairi smiles when she has fun. So he figured he would give her what she wants.
"Well, if you think so, Kairi. We're not in a hurry to go to Olivine City, right?" Sora asked.
"You're just saying that because you want to go on a date with her," Karen said.
"And you wouldn't with Tom?" Sora asked in a teasing manner.
"Shut up!" Karen said as Sora stuck his tongue at her. He exchanged Umbreon, Murkrow, and Houndour for Noctowl, Stantler, and Yanma.
Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, and the Pokémon made it to the cafe and they partook on the kabobs. Sora and Kairi loved the tasty treats as did Pikachu, Angel, Blossom, Togepi and the Pichu.
"These are tasty," Kairi said.
"You've said it, Kairi," Karen agreed.
A female Eevee wonders the streets and looks around. It spots Angel and ran up to her.
"Vee, vee, vee," the Eevee chirped.
Angel turns to see the other Eevee next to her.
"Eevee?" Angel asked.
Sora, Kairi, Karen, and Tracey saw the lone Eevee
"Hey, where did this Eevee come from?" Karen asked.
"You don't think this Eevee is lost, do you?" Tracey asked.
"She has to be," Kairi said. "And judging how she looks, she has to belong to someone," Kairi said.
"Eevee!" The Eevee said to Angel.
"It looks like she likes you, Angel," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Eevee!" A girl's voice called out. Eevee's ears perked up.
"Eevee!" The little Eevee chirped. The owner of the Eevee is a girl with her magenta hair tied in pigtails and her hairbands being pink pearls. She also has blue eyes. She wore a lavender shirt and blue shorts along with a pair of white shoes.
"There you are!" The girl said, running towards the group. "I've been looking all over for you. You had me worried sick about you." The group all knew that Eevee had to belong to the girl. She picks up her Eevee. "I'm sorry about that. I hope my friend here didn't cause you any trouble."
"Not really. She just showed up just a little while before you did," Sora said.
"I'm glad she didn't, because Eevee can be very naughty sometimes. And I'm sorry," the girl said.
"For what?" Sora asked.
"For not introducing myself. My name is Sakura," she introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you, Sakura. I'm Sora and this is Pikachu," Sora introduced.
"Pi, Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"It's very nice to meet you, Sakura. My name's Kairi, and this Eevee is Angel and this is Togepi," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Toge, Toge," Togepi chirped.
"Pichu," the Spiky-eared Pichu chirped.
"Pichu, Pi," the Shiny Pichu said.
"My name's Karen, and this is Blossom," Karen said.
"Pikachu," Blossom said.
"And I'm Tracey," Tracey said.
"Say, Sakura, you wouldn't happen to know anything about the tea ceremonies being held here, would you?" Kairi asked. Sakura laughed when she heard her ask that. Kairi wondered what was so funny.
"That's the tea ceremony my sisters perfrom," Sakura said.
"Your sisters?" Kairi asked.
"Uh-huh," Sakura nodded. "My sisters and I all live here and they all have an evolved form of Eevee. My family have been hosting the tea ceremonies held here for many generations."
"Is that right?" Karen asked. She paused for a moment as she remembered something. She remembered seeing a performance of young women wearing traditional Japanese clothes and they had a Jolteon, a Flareon, a Vaporeon, an Umbreon, an Espeon, a Glaceon, a Leafeon, and a Sylveon. "Say, Sakura. You mentioned that your sisters has an evolved form of Eevee and you have an Eevee. Don't they perform in the dance theater as well?" Sakura giggled.
"They also do that, but they have been busy running the tea ceremonies at our homes, so there's a different family that has a similar trait for Eevee, just like mine. Why?" Sakura asked.
"It was just something I remember seeing when I was little. Don't you remember, Sora?" Karen asked.
"Not really," Sora said.
"Oh, well. Anyway, we would like to check out the tea ceremony, Sakura," Karen said.
"Oh, right! I was leading you there! And don't worry, I won't ask you anymore about it right now," Sakura said. She led the group to her home. It happens to be one of those traditional Japanese mansions. "Here we are. This is my home." She entered the mansion gates and the group were amazed by how it looked. "If you like, we can get you dressed up with some rental kimonos." Sora had already seen Kairi in different dresses; he couldn't help but wonder how she would look in a kimono.
"That would be great," Sora said. Sora and Kairi didn't waste any time to get dressed for the occasion.
Sora wore one that is suited for boys of Japan, but still wore his necklace. It was red and black from his top to bottom. He wore yellow sandals.
Kairi wore a pink kimono with heart-shaped Pokéballs patterns on the sleeves. She had a white sash tied around her waist. She wore white sandals.
Sora smiled at the sight of his girlfriend in a kimono; she looked even better than he would have imagined. She giggled.
"So, Sora. How do I look?" Kairi asked her boyfriend. Sora was speechless for a second, until Karen snapped her fingers, snapping him out of his trance.
"Come on, loverboy! Say something nice about her!" Karen said to him.
"R-R-Right," Sora said, regaining his words. He smiled. "You look so very beautiful. You look even better in a kimono than I thought you would." Sora blushed when he was complimenting her. Kairi smiled and giggled.
"Thank you. You look great too," Kairi said. She and Sora kisses each other on the lips. They departed lips when Sakura stepped out.
"I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long," Sakura said. She is dressed in a kimono the same color as her shirt.
"You didn't," Karen said.
"You also look so great, Sakura," Kairi said.
"Thanks, Kairi. I have to greet the rest of the guests, but you guys go ahead and enjoy the tea ceremony," Sakura said to them.
"Thanks Sakura," everyone said.
Tracey and Karen didn't waste time getting accustomed for the ceremony, while the couple and the Pokémon spent some time together. Kairi walked with Sora holding his arm.
"It feels like we gone back through time since being here," Kairi said. Sora wasn't even going to bring up that one time he and Kairi went back in time when they met Celebi and fought Trickster's monsters.
Just then, a young woman wearing a lime green kimono with dark green hair comes up to the couple and bows her head. She also has blue eyes, the same as Sakura.
"We welcome you. We're hoping that you enjoy the tea ceremony," she greeted. Sora and Kairi had to assume that this was one of Sakura's older sisters.
"It's good to be here," Sora said.
"I hope you two will enjoy your partake in the ceremony," the young woman said.
Sora and Kairi wondered the grounds they spotted several girls in a flower arrangement class; to those who don't know what it is, it's known as ikebana. The lesson is taught by a another young woman, but she has purple hair and she had brown eyes.
The couple wondered around some more and they listened to a musical sound with another young woman with red hair, but wearing light blue kimono playing on her shamisen. She's revealed to have green eyes upon opening them.
"So beautiful," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Toge," Togepi chirped.
"Pichu," the spiky-eared Pichu also chirped.
"Pi," the Shiny Pichu added a chirp.
"It sure is," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
The couple and the Pokémon came to the area where the tea would be served. They were greeted by another young woman with dark blue hair and she has red eyes. She wore a blue kimono with a white cresent moon with a black spot to represent night. She sat on her knees and bowed to them.
"Welcome, honrable guests," she greeted. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Togepi, and the Pichu all came in and all bowed back.
"Thank you," Sora and Kairi both said, bowing their heads back.
"Please feel free to enjoy the tea," the young woman said.
"Thank you offering the tea for us," Kairi said.
She began to stir the tea for the couple.
"It is tradion to turn the cup around before you begin drinking it," she said to them Sora and Kairi turned the tea cup in their hands and began to drink it.
"Wow. This is the best tea I have ever drank," Sora said.
"Same here," Kairi said. She smiled.
"I'm glad to see that you like it," she said to them. Not too long, Sakura came along to check on them.
"So, Sora, Kairi. How are you liking the tea my sister makes?" Sakura asked.
"It tastes great," Sora said.
"Hey, Sakura," she greeted. She turns to the couple. "I should introduce myself. My name is Satsuki." The rest of the young women came in.
"My name is Koume," the red haired young woman introduced.
"My name is Sumomo," the dark green haired young woman introduced.
"And my name is Tamao," the purple haired young woman finished the introductions. "And we're all Sakura's sisters as you can guess." Sora and Kairi chuckled a bit.
"I can guess that you two are enjoying yourselves?" Sumomo presumed.
"Yeah we are," Sora said.
"So very much," Kairi added.
Not too far away, a wolf-like Heartless appeared from the darkness. It is is a maroon-colored wolf with Heartless yellow eyes that have lavender markings under them. It has a glowing green gem encrusted on his forehead, a brown nose, pointy ears, and a lavender mane. It also has six pink electric spikes protruding out of his back, thick sharp claws and a tail. The Heartless symbol is on its chest. This Heartless is known as a Wolfwrath.
The Wolfwrath howls as it ran down the streets of Ecruteak City. It arrives to the mansion and jumps the fence. Just then, a security guard spots it.
"What the hell is this thing? Is that a new kind of Pokémon?" The security guard asked. The Wolfwrath spews a fireball at the guard. He quickly ducks his head. He took out a Pokéball and threw it. "Go! Machoke!" His Pokéball opened and Machoke came right out. "Use Ice Punch!" The Machoke came rushing at the Heartless, but it slashes at Machoke, sending it flying. Machoke lands right on him as the Wolfwrath goes off running. The security guard took out his walkie-talkie. "We have an intruder on the mansion grounds!"
Not too long, an alram starts blarring. It catches everyone's attention. Sora, Kairi, Sakura, her sisters, and the Pokémon ran towards the main mansion and are joined by Tracey, Karen, and Blossom when they saw the Heartless approaching them and it snarled.
"What is that thing?" Sakura asked.
"Oh no! A Heartless!" Karen gasped.
The Wolfwrath leapt at them, so Pikachu quickly fired Thunderbolt at the Heartless, but it does little damage to it. It leaps at Sora who summoned his Kingdom Key and swats at it.
"Time to go to sleep, wolfy!" Sora said, holding his Keyblade. The Wolfwrath snarls and spits out a fireball, but he swats it in the air. The Wolfwrath came right at him, so he held the Keyblade in the wolf Heartless's mouth, keeping it away from his head. Kairi quickly summoned her Keyblade and heads right at the wolf-like Heartless.
"Get away from him!" Kairi yelled, hitting the Wolfwrath with it. The Wolfwrath swings its claws at her, but she blocked with her Keyblade. Pikachu and Angel attacked the Heartless with Electro Ball and Swift, hitting it. The Wolfwrath howls as it retreats. She ran up to her boyfriend. "Are you alright, Sora?"
"Any second too late, I would have ended up being dog food for that Heartless," Sora said. "We gotta go after it."
"We don't even know where it could have gone, Sora," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Probably already gone," Sora said. He sighed. He looked at Sakura and her sisters who all had dumbfounded looks on their faces. "Um, I guess we have some explaining to do."
Sora and Kairi explained to the Kimono Sisters about the Keyblades they have and about the Heartless, just like the Wolfwrath Heartless they just saw.
"So there are other Heartless just like the one that got away," Sakura said.
"Yeah, but this is the first time that one like that got away," Sora said.
"It might come back for us," Kairi said.
"I just can't believe that there are creatures like that. I have to admit, I was surprised when I saw you call out those Keyblades of yours. Do Tracey and Karen have one, too?" Sakura asked.
"No, they don't," Sora said. "The Heartless aren't the only ones to worry about. There's also the Nobodies and a group of bad guys called Organization XIII. They make Team Rocket look like little babies."
Sakura wondered what kind of people Organization XIII were, but she didn't want to ask the wrong kind of question, so she decided to ask a different question.
"So, Sora and Kairi. How long have you two been a couple? I'm just curious to know," Sakura said.
"For a while now," Kairi answered. Sora puts his arm around Kairi's shoulder.
"But, it feels like forever," Sora said. "And that's a good thing."
"I am curious about how you have met. I mean, I would like to hear it," Sakura said. The couple chuckled.
"Well, it started out just like any other day for me. Angel and I were out on a nature walk when I saw a Caterpie in a cage and I was kidnapped by a couple of poachers," Kairi said.
"It was the day I became a Pokémon Trainer and got Pikachu. I got a Pidgey out of that cage and those same guys tried to take Pikachu. But, we managed to get away and we met Angel and pushed us to their camp," Sora explained.
"Ever since that day, we've been traveling together," Kairi said. "And that's when I fell for him." Sakura was hanging on to it, word for word.
"Also, I've been curious about your necklace, Sora. I did hear that it is shaped like a crown. Is there a reason for it? Are you descended from royalty or something?" Sakura asked. Sora laughed.
"Nothing like that. But, you're not wrong to think it. This necklace has been in my family for many generations. My necklace is a symbol of knighthood," Sora said. Sakura was at awe to hear him say that.
"Knighthood?" Sakura asked at awe.
"Yeah. My mom told me a long time ago that I'm descended from a long line of knights in the old days. And all of the boys in my family wore this to symbolize it. Back in those days, the people would believe that all of the boys in my family were knights in their eyes," Sora said.
"You mean you have the blood of a knight in your veins? That is very romantic," Sakura said, feeling moved. "When you told me how you met, it just sounds like you're Kairi's knight in shining armor. I have to admit, Kairi I am envious of you. And when I first saw you together, I just thought you were a very cute couple. But, what about Tracey and Karen?"
"Tracey's been with us for a while, but Karen is only tagging along to find a kid she and I knew when we were little kids. I think my sister has a crush on him," Sora said.
"Even though she's insisting that it's not a crush," Kairi said.
"I can imagine," Sakura said. "But, there's also one more thing that I'm envious of you about, Kairi." The couple both looked at her.
"What?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, what?" Sora asked.
"The thing is, I'm envious of you two. You get to travel around and see the world and meet all sorts of people and Pokémon. It must be exciting," Sakura said.
"It is," Sora said.
"It's been my dream to travel around and see the world like you," Sakura said.
"I'm not gonna lie, it had been tough, but traveling with Sora and the others have made the adventure pretty exciting," Kairi said.
"I always wanted to travel around and see the world. To go on my own Pokémon journey. But the thing is, I don't want to do it by myself; I mean, not yet. So, if it's okay with you, I would like to learn what I can about being a Pokémon Trainer just like you," Sakura said.
"You know, that's not a bad idea," Kairi said.
The couple and Sakura met up with the Tracey and Karen as soon as they got what they need.
"Good timing, you guys. We were about to go looking for you," Karen said.
"Got the necessary supplies?" Kairi asked.
"Sure did," Tracey said.
"We got stocked up with some medicines, so we should be good to go," Karen said.
"That's good to know, guys," Sora said. "Especially if it means there's one more Pokémon to take care of."
"Why? Is Eevee sick?" Karen asked.
"What Sora means is I wanna learn about training Pokémon just like you," Sakura said. "If that's okay." Tracey and Karen smiled at that.
"I don't have any problems with that," Tracey said.
"It'll be good to have another girl in the group," Karen said.
"But we don't have enough boys," Sora said in his thoughts.
"You can learn a whole lot by traveling with us," Kairi said.
"Eevee!" Angel said.
"Eevee!" Sakura's Eevee said.
"Oh, thank you! I have a dance performance for a tour group tomorrow afternoon and I'll break the news to my sisters as soon it's over. I'm going have to ask their permission to learn from you," She pleaded her new friends. "Please be there!"
"We'll be there to support you," Kairi said.
On the very next afternoon, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey and the Pokémon watched Sakura and her sisters do their dance performance and it seems to be going rather well; except for Sakura dropping her umbrella, but she manages to recover just a little. As soon as their perfomance was over, Sakura had announced her intentions of learning what she can about Pokémon training from her new friends. Sora, Kairi, Karen, and Tracey have stood by her side as they promised. Her sisters were pretty shocked to hear such a request.
"You know how much I love Pokémon and you don't need me here, so please let me learn what I can from them," Sakura pleaded.
"Why is it so important?" Satsuki asked.
"It's just, I want to get stronger. I want to prove that I can be the best Pokémon Trainer I can popssibly be. I wanna prove it not only to you, but also to myself," Sakura said.
"Why now?" Koume asked.
"You haven't even mastered everything in the tea ceremony yet," Sumono pointed out.
"That's right. If you can't master your umbrella, how can you master Pokémon?" Tamoa asked.
"Oh please, let me," Sakura pleaded.
"You can see that your sister's mind is made up. I promise that we will do our best to teach her what we know," Kairi said.
"So, you can put your worries to rest since she'll be in very good hands," Sora said. Satsuki thought for a moment.
"Well, you two did fend off that monster that attacked, so, I guess it's okay," Satsuki said. Sakura smiled. "But there's is going to be one condition."
"Okay. Name it," Sora said.
"We all wanna see how good you are in a Pokémon battle. If you can beat us in a Pokémon battle, then we will let her learn what she can and set off on her own journey when she's ready," Satsuki said.
"You've got yourselves a deal," Sora accepted.
Everyone stepped outsode on the mansion grounds. Sakura's sisters changed into their casual clothes just before they did.
"I know we ignore her, but I'll miss Sakura if she went away," Koume said.
"Let's see if our sister wants to learn from them after we have our battle," Satsuki proposed. "We'll have four one-on-one Pokémon battles? Any four of you against all four of us." It was obvious Sora and Kairi were stepping up. Karen and Tracey also stepped up also. Sora nodded as the choice had been made.
"You got yourselves a series of battles," Sora said. "Which one of you is up first?"
"I'll get things started," Sumomo said, taking out her Lure Ball. "Vaporeon! Go!" Sumomo threw her Lure Ball and it lets out her Pokémon.
Karen volunteered to have the first battle and she turned to her partner.
"This is going to be our first real battle, so let's make it count," Karen said.
"Pikachu," Blossom said, stepping up.
"Blossom! Use Thunderbolt!" Karen ordered. Blossom fired Thunderbolt right at the Water-type Eeveelution.
"Dodge it, Vaporeon!" Sumomo called out. Vaporeon dodges Blossom's Thunderbolt like it wasn't a problem. "Now fire Ice Beam!" Vaporeon fired Ice Beam to freeze the female Pikachu
"Blossom! Dodge and use Double Kick!" Karen ordered. Blossom avoids Ice Beam and lands two kicks. "Now use Thunderbolt!" Blossom gave another Thunderbolt, shocking the Bubble Jet Pokémon on the mark.
"Vaporeon! One more Ice Beam!" Sumomo ordered. Vaporeon fired Ice Beam to hit Blossom. The female Pikachu did take the hit, but it wasn't enough to stop her.
"Use Double Kick!" Karen ordered. Blossom gave Vaporeon a couple of kicks onto Vaporeon. "Use Thunderbolt!" Blossom gave Vaporeon a Thunderbolt up close and beats Vaporeon.
"No way! I lost!" Sumomo exclaimed.
"I knew you could do it, Blossom!" Karen praised her. She gives her partner a hug and she hugs Karen back.
"Not bad, Karen. You're better than I would have thought," Sumomo said, calling back her Vaporeon.
"I'm up," Koume said, taking out her Friend Ball. "Flareon! Go!" She threw her Friend Ball and Flareon enters the battle. Kairi had stepped in and drew out her Pokéball.
"Go! Brick!" Kairi called out. Brick came out of his Pokéball.
"Marill!" Brick said.
"A red Marill?" Koume asked.
"I call him Brick. And this is the first battle he's having," Kairi said.
"Flareon! Fire Fang!" Koume ordered. Flareon came at the red Aqua Mouse Pokémon to land a burning bite.
"Brick! Aqua Tail!" Kairi ordered. Brick swimgs his tail around as it emits water and lands a hit. "Now use Ice Punch!" Brick moves in to deliever an Ice Punch.
"Flareon! You use Headbutt!" Koume ordered. Both Pokémon charged into each other head first. "Now use Flamethrower!" Flareon fires Flamethrower and it lands a hit on her. It wasn't enough to bring Brick down.
"Brick! Water Gun!" Kairi ordered. The red Marill fired Water Gun right at Flareon.
"Dodge it!" Koume called out. Flareon jumps over the water attack. "Now use Fire Fang!" Flareon came at Brick to land a hit.
"Brick! Use Aqua Tail!" Kairi ordered as Brick came at Flareon and gives the Flame Pokémon another strike with her tail and Flareon had gone down for the count.
"Oh! I can't believe I lost" Koume cried.
"Don't sweat it, Koume," Tamoa said. I'm up next." She takes out her Fast Ball. She throws it. "Go! Umbreon!" Umbreon is let out and lets out a loud cry. Tracey took out his Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Scyther!" Tracey called out. His Scyther came out of his Pokéball, ready to battle.
"Is it just me, or does that Scyther look pretty old?" Tamoa asked.
"My Scyther might be old, but he still has fight in him," Tracey said.
"We'll see about that!" Tamoa said. "Umbreon! Snarl!" Umbreon releases multiple purple and black rings of energy from its mouth right at Scyther. The elderly Mantis Pokémon did take the hit; but he was still standing on his feet.
"Scyther! Use Slash!" Tracey ordered. Scyther came at Umbreon and lands a Slash on the mark.
"Umbreon! Use Iron Tail!" Tamoa ordered. Umbreon charged towards Scyther with its tail giving off a metallic glow to strike the disguise Pokémon.
"Scyther! Dodge with Quick Attack!" Tracey ordered. Scyther dodges Iron Tail with and dashed at Umbreon, landing a hit. "Now use X-Scissor!" Scyther rushes over to Umbreon and swings his bladed arms at Umbreon. Umbreon was beaten.
"Okay. One more battle," Satsuki said. Sora had stepped up. He takes out a Pokéball to get ready to battle. He takes out a Pokéball and Satsuki takes out a Moon Ball. "Go! Jolteon!" Sora has taken out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Donphan!" Sora called out. Donphan emerged from inside the Pokéball, ready to go.
"Jolteon! Double Kick!" Satsuki ordered. Jolteon moved its legs forward tp land a kick on the elephant-like Pokémon.
"Donphan! Dodge and use Horn Attack!" Sora ordered. Donphan manages to dodge Jolteon kicks and charges at Jolteon with his tusks ready to strike. Jolteon had gotten hit by the tusks. "Now use Rollout! Donphan rolls into a ball and rams into Jolteon.
"Not bad, Sora. Your Donphan was well-trained," Satsuki pointed out.
"Thanks! Donphan can handle anything you can throw at him," Sora said. Donphan kept on rolling at Jolteon. But the Lightning Pokémon dodges.
"Jolteon! Pin Missle!" Satsuki ordered. Jolteon fired pins and it strikes Donphan on the spot. Donphan had taken heavy damage.
"That Pin Missle is strong even with Donphan's armor! Gotta push hard!" Sora said. "Use High Horsepower!" Donphan's body gave off an orange glow and charges at Jolteon.
"Dodge it!" Satsuki ordered. Jolteon tried to dodge Donphan's attack, but Donphan was moving too fast. Donphan had landed a successful hit. "Jolteon!"
"Move in with another Horn Attack!" Sora ordered. Donphan has landed a Horn Attack on Jolteon. The Lightning Pokémon struggles to get up on its feet, but falls onto the ground, having to lost to Sora's Pokémon. "And that makes four."
"It does," Satsuki agreed. She smiled. "You're even better than I thought. Even if you had lost, I still would have let Sakura go with you."
"Satsuki? You really mean it?" Sakura asked.
"Yes. You have our permission to learn from Sora and your other friends. And we'll be proud of your accomplishments," Satsuki said.
"You have our word, we'll do our best to teach her," Sora said. Satsuki smiled.
"I already know you can, Sora," Satsuki said. She turned to her youngest sister. "Just be sure that you follow their instructions through, li'l sis."
"I will! And thank you!" Sakura said.
"What you said to me earlier is reason enough; and so is having such good friends, even though you have known them for a short time," Satsuki said. Tears slid down her eyes. "I only wish mom and dad were here to see this. They would be so very proud of you." Sakura hugged her oldest sister and not too long, her other sisters joined in. Sora, Kairi, Karen, and Tracey all smiled at the sight.
The moment was ruined when the Wolfwrath Heartless has returned.
"That monster again!" Sakura said.
"We can handle it," Sora said, summoning his Kingdom Key. Kairi summoned her Destiny's Embrace and held their Keyblades. They nodded at each other and engages the wolf-like Heartless.
The Wolfwrath spews a series of fireballs at the couple, but they managed to dodge it just by running. It swings its claws at them, so Sora and Kairi managed to block with their Keyblades. Its spikes emits fire and charges at them, but Kairi casts her water spell, hitting it. The Heartless howls in pain from the water. Kairi turned to her boyfriend.
"That Heartless is weak against water! Let's both try a water spell at the same time!" Kairi said.
"You got it, Kairi!" Sora said.
Sora and Kairi raised their Keyblades up in the air at the same time.
"Water!" Sora and Kairi shouted, dousing the Wolfwrath in the water. Sora and Kairi then struck the Wolfwrath with their Keyblades. The Wolfwrath roars in pain before it fell on the ground. A heart floats up in the air and vanishes. They dismissed their Keyblades. Sakura was amazed by their swordsmen skills and the way they handled their Pokémon.
Sakura joins up with her new friends as they stood outside the mansion grounds.
"Thank you for letting me do this," Sakura said.
"We'll miss you a whole lot, but just don't stay away for too long," Satsuki said.
"I promise I won't," Sakura said.
"Take good care of our baby sister, won't you?" Tamoa asked.
"We will," Sora said.
"And if any Heartless attacks us, we'll fend them off," Kairi said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Well, I'll see you when I come back," Sakura said.
"Bye," Sakura's sisters all said.
Now that the threat of the Wolfwrath Heartless has been neutralized, Sakura and her Eevee joins Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, and the Pokémon for the journey to Olivine City. Who knows what might happen on the way? Just stay tuned if you wanna find out.
