The Forgotten Cards Pikachu Part 3 Thursday March 25, 2004 Wow. I’m on a role with this story. I hope Jolt isn’t getting sick of me sending in stories everyday. ^_^ Well, enjoy as always! It was the next day after Sakura’s capture of The Hot card. Sakura had spent an hour telling them what the whole purpose was so that she wouldn’t have to always ask questions. “This is a rotten morning.” Sakura said as she stuck her head out of her tent. The sky was completely clouded over and it was hot and humid. “I’ll say. Look at that sky.” Ash said. Brock then peeked his head out of the other tent along with Ash. “This day doesn’t feel right.” Brock said. Just as he said it, they felt a light breeze. Yue had now stepped outside. “It does seem strange. Almost like something’s going to happen.” Yue said suspiciously. “Oh lighten up. What’s going to happen? A thunderstorm maybe.” Kero replied. Li was just yawning as he stepped out of the guy tent. “You’re Pikachu kept me awake half the night Ash.” Li said with narrowed eyes. “It can be that way sometimes. That just means Pikachu’s lonely.” Ash said, sweat dropping. “Oh well. Let’s just try to make the best of this day!” Sakura said. “Well, Brock could start by making breakfast.” Misty said. “Right you are. Only problem is we don’t have any wood or matches. Sakura laughed. “What’s so funny?” Kero asked. “Who has magical cards? I do. And two of them just happen to be Wood and Fiery.” She said while winking. Ash quickly caught on. “Wow. Those things are useful.” Ash said. “Sure are. Can you get a fire going?” Brock asked. Sakura nodded and took the key off her neck. She then reached inside her sleeping bag and grabbed the 53 cards. “Okay. Fire and Wood. Where are they? YES! Got them.” She said happily. “Good. Start the fire already. I’m getting hungry.” Kero and Misty both said. Sakura tossed both cards up into the air. “Oh key of the star. With powers burning bright. Reveal the staff and shine your light! Wood, make a pile of wood and Fiery set that wood to fire! Star Cards!” Sakura shouted. Both came out at the same time but Wood acted first, setting a stack of wood in a neat pile. Then Fiery took her turn and set the wood to fire so that Brock could cook. They both flew back to Sakura in card form. “Now start cooking! I’m hungry!” Sakura said. “Same here.” Madison said. Before they knew it, they were greedily eating Brock’s famous cooking. “You know. This is good.” Li said. “Are you going to finish that?” Kero asked. Misty had taken note that Yue wasn’t eating. “Um Yue? Don’t you want to eat?” Misty asked, holding out some food. Yue shook his head. “I don’t need to. I get my strength from the moon.” He said. Sakura had just finished her meal. “Ah that was good.” Sakura said. “I can tell. You finished before Ash and that’s a first.” Brock said. Sakura and the others sweat dropped. Without warning, Sakura stood up and looked to the south. “What’s up?” Ash asked through a mouth full of food. “I sense another Clow Card.” Sakura replied, still looking south. “Another one? But you just caught one yesterday. Surely there can’t be another one.” Misty said. “I sense one to.” Yue and Kero both said. Pikachu bounded up onto Sakura’s shoulder and looked South to. Everyone seemed to sense something except Ash, Misty, and Brock. “Look over there!” Misty shouted, pointing south. A massive black funnel was dipping from the clouds. “It’s a Clow Card alright.” Kero said. “Could that be the Tornado Card?” Sakura asked. Yue nodded. “By the looks of it, I’d say yes.” Yue told her. Lightning began flashing all around them. “Uh, there’s another one to!” Brock yelled. 1 tornado was already on the ground and another one was on its way, heading straight for Sakura. “I’m going in!” Sakura shouted over the roar that had begun and the intense wind. “What??!! Are you insane??!!” Madison and Lee shouted. “I have to!” Sakura shouted. By this time, a third tornado was dropping down. “I already have an idea on how to stop it. Just give me the benefit of the doubt.” She said. There were now 3 tornadoes heading in their direction. “Okay. Be careful though.” Madison said worriedly. “Yeah. Come back in good shape.” Li said. “I will. Fly!” Sakura shouted. Wings suddenly sprouted out of her back and she flew into the storm with Kero and Yue. “So. What do you have in mind for this?” Yue asked as a sixth tornado was now dropping down. “Well, tornadoes suck up earth. If it’s clogged enough, it should become paralyzed.” Sakura said. “So you’re thinking about using The Earth card?” Yue asked as a seventh tornado dropped right behind them. The wind was becoming increasingly stronger as they flew to the heart of the cluster. Yue almost got stabbed by debris if he hadn’t put up his shield. “You know, this is getting dangerous Sakura. You need to seal it quick! This has to be another element card!” Kero shouted. “I have an idea. Shield! Form a cage around us and protect us from debris!” Sakura shouted. She wasn’t a moment too soon. The Shield Card popped up just in time to block a lethal piece of debris from hitting them. “Now use Earthy!” Yue shouted over the howl over the ten tornadoes. “Okay. Earth! Come to my aid! Clog all the tornadoes now! Release!” Sakura shouted. Earth came out of the card and spilt into 10 equal segments which flew to each tornado. “Think this will work?” Misty asked from their safe location as they saw the different Earth forms plunge into each tornado. “I hope so.” Brock and Ash replied. Pikachu was looking worried. “Okay. They almost stopped. Seal the Card now Sakura before it disappears!” Kero shouted. “Right. Tornado Card! Return to your power confined! Tornado!” Sakura shouted. Each of the 10 tornadoes jumped into the card and disappeared. The Tornado Card flew to her. The shield around them disappeared. “Okay. Transform it. I know. I call upon the powers of my star. Ancient forces near and far. Clow Card transform all your might and draw your power from my light!” Sakura shouted. The Card flashed pink and flew to her. The front had a picture of a tornado. “You did it Sakura!” Madison shouted. Li was happily asking her every detail of what had happened. “It looked really cool. Well, what we could see of it.” Li said. “Quite action packed. I saw this glimmering thing around you guys. What was that?” Misty asked. “It was The Shield Card. It protected us.” Kero said. “Well, another good capture which I got on tape!” Madison said. “You did remember to transform it right?” Ash asked. “Yes. It’s 54 cards now right?” Sakura asked. “Yep. And now 9 more to go.” Brock said. To be continued… Longest part so far! What do you think? Review! ^_^ Cards Caught: The Hot The Tornado
