Makado's Story (special episode 1)

(WHEN WE LAST LEFT OFF, SAKURA GOT KNOCKED OUT AND MAKADO PANICED.)


"I've failed. I've failed my..." Makado's eyes get misty as he thought about when he met Sakura. "..best friend... Sakura. I've known her ever since her mother aboandoned her near the lake. Being Sakura, she was curious about the running water. She tried to sniff it and almost drowned. I was sitting with my family when everybody saw her gargling instead of breathing..." Makado was crying. (hey, boys can cry!!!) "...My mother made all the children--including me-- get back so we wouldn't drown, too. But I wouldn't let her drown. I dove in--ignoring my mother and father's cries-- and grabbed her. When I bobbed up, Sakura over my shoulder, I couldn't see my family anymore. I didn't care at the moment. I swam to the dry ground and put her on the dry ground. I was breathing hard and felt like fainting. She woke up and stared at me. 'What's your name?' she asked. 'Makado.' I said. 'I don't have a name.' she said. I remembered my little sister, my ONLY sister, Sakura. 'Yeah you do.' I said. 'Huh?' 'It's Sakura.' 'Okie doke! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura Sakura SAKURA!' she sang. 'HEY! YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANNOUNCE IT TO THE ENTIRE REGION!!!' I stammered. But I knew I was going to like my new 'little sister'. And ever since, we've been best friends, she's praticly my sister. She's closer than that, though. I don't have all the answers to her... but I think she's something special. One of a kind. One in a Million. She's... SAKURA." Makado was basicly silently weeping. "I..." he was weak with tears. "..I'm going to fight for my... Little Sister." He jumped out of the bush. "LUCARIO! I CHALLANGE YOU!!!" he cried. Sakura was still knocked out. "A wimp like you... a PIPLUP. Haha! This'll be fun!" laughed the Lucario. "Prepare for your trip to the WORLD OF PAIN!" Makado looked down at his toes. "I might be small-----VERY small, indeed... but..." he looked up with fire in his eyes. "SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND! YOU WILL GIVE HER BACK!!!" "Ooh, look, I'm scared." Lucario smirked. Piplup was discouraged, but not discouraged enough. He released a super HYDRO PUMP on Lucario! Sakura woke up. "Ohohoh... owowow..." she stammered. LUCARIO FAINTED!!! "Sakura, ask questions later, but follow me, QUICK!!!"
