The next day, Tuki was eating her breakfast with her mother, luckily the breakfast today has so many vegetables ever since harvest yesterday.

Tuki: Hmm... Hey Mom? Can I bring some foods for my friends?

Ocean: Oh? Sure, what do you want to bring?

Tuki: How about some stir-fried kale, steak slices, and maybe some banana slices?

Ocean: Wow, that's a lot of foods you want to bring. Is there a party going on?

Tuki: No, I just want to share those meals with Rose and Dan.

Ocean: So you've meet up with Dan?

Tuki: Not only meet! We've become friends as well!

Ocean: That's good to hear. Just be safe out there.

Tuki: I will!

Tuki starts walking out again while holding the foods on her hands while she starts humming happily.

Tuki: I wonder what we will do today.

???: Hey Tuki!

She looked at who was calling her, it was actually Rose. She was holding her same old monopoly board but what's odd is that there were two pokemon following her from behind. There was a female Dewott wearing blue kimono and a female Sylveon wearing a white short dress

Tuki: Hey Rose! How have you been?

Rose: It's been great! Oh yeah, these are my friends that just move into this Island! I've known them from online chatting and I wanna introduce you to them.

???: Hey there! I'm Zumi the Dewott, it's great to see you!

???: My name is Fleur the Sylveon, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Tuki: Zumi and Fleur eh? Nice to meet you too! My name is Tuki!

Rose: So Tuki, what's with the foods? Is there a party going on?

Tuki: Well, I was going to bring you along to introduce you to a friend I just met the other day!

Rose: Really? How about we come along?

Zumi: Yeah, having more friends won't hurt at all.

Tuki: Hmm... I guess that's true. Alright! Let's go then!

Fleur: Lead the way.

The girls starts heading towards the sakura tree together while greeting the pokemon they passed through. After they arrived, Zumi and Fleur was amazed by the beauty of the sakura tree.

Zumi: Wow! This tree looks super!

Fleur: Truly gorgeous indeed.

Tuki: Hehe! Me and Rose planted this tree together!

Fleur: Is it true, Rose?

Rose: Yep! Ever since we start become friends, we promise to take care of this sakura tree until it blooms.

Zumi: I guess your hard work actually paid off, like for real!

Tuki: Now let's just wait for him until he arrives.

An hour already passed, the four girls were waiting for too long but Dan didn't show up at all.

Fleur: So when is this person going to show up?

Tuki: Odd, I thought he promise me to come.

Rose: Maybe we can visit his house if you want.

Zumi: Sounds like a plan, but our stuff might kind of weighted us.

Rose: I got that cover!

Rose pulls a branch that was sticking out of the tree's bark, revealing there is a secret drawer in the tree.

Tuki: Wow! Since when did you make this?!

Rose: Hehe, I made it an hour after this tree blooms. Don't worry, the tree can still grow even with this.

The girls put their stuffs before they starts to follow Tuki into the forest to find Dan.

Zumi: So Tuki, who is this friend of yours look like?

Tuki: Well, he is a Shiny Litten that lives around the housing on the hills.

Rose: There's housing on the hills? That's new

Tuki: He's a good Litten. Despite being quiet, he's pretty active on moving, strong, and cute as well.

Fleur: *Smirks* Oh? Did I hear you call him cute?

Tuki: *Blushes* Huh? Umm... nevermind!

Rose: Hey look! 2 o'clock!

They all looked over and saw Dan was hiding behind some bushes spying on someone, they then came up towards him.

Tuki: Hey Dan!

Dan: Shhh! Not so loud.

Tuki: Oh, sorry. Oh yeah, these are my friends that I want to introduce to you.

Dan: Huh? I thought you said only one.

Tuki: Umm... it's a long story.

Dan: Keep it for now; we got something to worry about.

Rose: What's wrong?

Dan: Look

Just far across them was a group of Zangoose bandits that was having a talk to one another, there was a bigger Zangoose who appears to be the leader.

Fleur: Are they who I think it is?

Dan: Yeah, they are mountain bandits.

Zumi: So what'cha think we should do?

Dan: We just have to wait till they are gone.

...

Rose: Wait... where's Tuki?

Dan: GAH!

Rose, Zumi, and Fleur: AAH!

Not a moment too soon, Tuki was already got caught by the Zangoose leader and she was grabbed by her jacket.

Tuki: Grrh! Why you!!

Dan, Rose, Zumi, and Fleur: (How did she get caught?!)

Tuki: Let me go!! You bastard!!

Rose: Now what?!

Dan: Cih... we need to think of a plan.

Tuki keeps trying to get off of Zangoose grasp, but she couldn't since his grasp were too strong.

Tuki: Ergghh...

Zangoose: Hey, do you have any friends around? Where are they?

Strangely, she starts sweating before giving innocent sad eyes and side lips which made the bandits shocked by how bad she is on hiding something.

Tuki: I-I don't know... *Whistles*

Zangoose: What a bad liar.

Just when the Zangoose is about to attack Tuki using Metal Claw, Dan suddenly appeared above Zangoose and hits his head hard using the metal pipe he has before Dan grabs Tuki and brought her away.

Dan: Got you!

Tuki: Dan!

Zangoose's underlings: Boss is down!! After him!!

Then the three girls came up in front of the underlings before they attack using their best moves before tying them up using rope.

Rose: Alright! We got them!

Zumi: Hehe! Not much of a competition!

Fleur: Let's take them to the Mayor, they might as well get some punishment if we brought them there.

Rose: Great idea. Hey! You're Dan, right? Take Tuki to the sakura tree, we'll meet you there.

Dan: Okay.

Dan brought Tuki to the sakura tree on his back. When they arrived, he puts her on the ground against the tree bark.

Tuki: Hehe, that was pretty close.

Dan: You fool!!

Tuki: Huh?

Dan: Why did you came up to that bandit all of the sudden?! He could've hurt you so badly!! You know how worried I was?!

Tuki: ...Y-You were worried... about me?

Dan: Of course I was!!

She then looked down, knowing it was her first time ever gets nagged pretty harshly by someone. She then starts crying knowing it was her fault to make him worried.

Tuki: I-I'm sorry... I didn't want you to be worried...

Dan: ... Tuki...

Tuki: I-I didn't think straight... something clicked in me to get rid of those bandits so no one can get hurt... I'm so sorry...

He then sighs a bit before he licks her tears away before hugging her.

Dan: It's alright Tuki, I understand that feeling. I'm sorry for shouting at you, I was worried for your safety.

Tuki: *Hugs back* Thank you... for worrying about me...

The three of the girls then arrived to the sakura tree after taking the bandits to the Mayor.

Rose: Hey guys! We—Huh?

Fleur: Oh my.

Zumi: Haha! Are you two up to something?

Tuki: *Blushes* Wh-What?!

Dan: *Blushes* N-No! It's not what you think it is!

Fleur: Well I guess it's something that we should not be bothering about, it's their privacy.

Tuki: W-Well, let's just get back to why we are here. This is my friend, Dan!

Rose: Good to see you Dan! I'm Rose and they are Zumi and Fleur!

Zumi and Fleur: Hello!

Tuki: Hehe, now Dan have more friends than before!

Dan: Yeah (Thought it worries me knowing all my friends are girls)

Rose: So Dan? Wanna play Monopoly with us? I brought the board with me.

Dan: Sure.

When the dusk finally hits, Dan's father, Torracat was taking a walk after fishing on the coast.

Torracat: I got good catch today, I hope Dan enjoys the fish I got.

But he notice the sakura tree on the cliff which amazes him before he walks towards it.

Torracat: Whoever planted this tree is a very generous person.

???: Zzzz...

Torracat: Huh?

He looked behind the tree and saw his son Dan was sleeping against the tree while the four girls were sleeping around him, he started giggling before he grabs Dan off of them and carries him on his shoulder.

Torracat: I guess Dan has already made good friends, that's a relieve.
