The Forgotten Cards
Pikachu
Part 8

Thursday July 1, 2004

Yipes. Seems I forgot about this story. Sorry about that. *Sweat drops* I’ll 
try and finish the story this month. Well, enjoy!

	Sakura stuck her nose out of the tent and got a huge surprise. The 
beginning of July and everything was covered in snow. It was warm to but the 
snow was cold and not melting. Sakura popped back in the tent.

	“Madison. Wake up. You are never going to believe this.” Sakura said. 
Madison sat up yawning and glared at Sakura.

	“What did you wake me up for?” She asked grouchily. Sakura pointed outside.

	“Look outside. You won’t believe what you’re seeing.” Sakura said. Madison 
glanced at Sakura and peeked outside.

	“It’s snowing!” She shouted. The others came out and got a surprise.

	“Woah! Talk about Christmas in July! What’s going on here??!!” Misty asked 
as she stepped into an ice cold bank of snow outside her tent.

	“Sakura, this is defiantly a Clow Card. Regular snow couldn’t defy warm air 
like this.” Kero said. Yue nodded.

	“From just the looks of this, I’d say it’s the Winter Card.” Yue said. Just 
then, the wind picked up and snow began flying everywhere. Ash and Brock 
were astounded whereas Pikachu was busy making a snowman. Li shivered as 
snow was fast falling and was already past their ankles and almost halfway 
up their knees.

	“Seems like Pp-p-pikachu’s having a good time.” Ash said, shivering as the 
July snowstorm proceeded to get worse.

	“Kero, you said that Season Cards combine the forces of a few cards, 
right?” Sakura said suddenly. Everyone looked at her.

	“Yes they do. Why do you ask?” Kero asked her.

	“Well, the snow isn’t melting.  That makes me think it has the Shield Card. 
It’s Windy so the Wind Card must also be involved. And then there’s snow so 
the Snow Card has to be part of this to.” Sakura said. Yue thought about it 
for a moment.

	“That does make sense. But how are you going to seal it? It doesn’t seem to 
be doing anything bad really.” Yue said. He spoke to soon. A huge tornado of 
snow spun from the clouds above and headed right in Sakura’s direction.

	“Uhhhh, I think the Tornado Card is in this to! FLY!!!!” Sakura shouted. 
Wings sprouted onto her back and she flew into the sky. The snow tornado 
ripped up some trees and tossed them at her. Sakura barely dodged them.

	“I better go get my camcorder!” Madison shouted. She ran back into the tent 
as Sakura kept dodging flying trees, now laced with ice spikes.

	“Sakura’s going to get sucked straight into the twister!!!!” Brock shouted.

	“SOME HELP WOULD BE NICE RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!!!!” Sakura shouted down as the 
snow tornado gained on her.

	“Try the Hot or Fiery Card! They should be able to melt it!” Kero shouted 
up to her.

	“Right. Fiery! Fly at the snow and melt it away! Fiery!” Sakura shouted. 
The Fiery Card flew into shape and dived at the snow twister. Just as it 
seemed it would work, a glow surrounded it and a shield formed, knocking 
Fiery away and sucking Sakura in.

	“SAKURA!!!!!” Misty shouted, horrified. Inside the tornado, Sakura opened 
her eyes. The view she had was spectacular. White powdery snow was 
glistening all around her as it spun furiously in it’s tornado shape.

	“Okay Sakura. Locate the card’s true form. It has to be here somewhere.” 
Sakura said out loud. She allowed herself to be sucked further up into the 
funnel. It was quite cold inside it and she shivered.

	“Hey! That’s an idea! If I release Fiery in here, no shield can block it!” 
Sakura thought. She took out the Fiery Card and released it.

	“Fiery! Find Winter’s true form!!!” Sakura commanded. The Card spun around 
the tornado in an awesome display of orange and red. From the outside, the 
tornado turned from snow to fire.

	“Woah! I’m glad I’m getting this!” Madison said happily.

	“Well, it seems that Fiery worked at close range.”  Yue said. Inside the 
funnel, Sakura was glancing around rapidly. Finally, her eyes landed on a 
very large snowflake.

	“Bingo! I have you now! Winter Card! Return to your power confined! Winter 
Card!” Sakura yelled. The Card broke into strands and flew to her shining 
staff. The card sealed itself and the twister disappeared, leaving Sakura 
flying in mid-air. She flew down to the others and held the card up.

	“I’d have to say that was one of your best captures yet Sakura! That fire 
tornado was just too cool!” Ash said happily. They looked over at Pikachu 
who was crushing his melting snowman with a stick.

	“Well, at least it’s one less card down!” Brock said. Sakura nodded.

	“Yeah. One less.” She replied.
