## Plot

A month later after the events of Special Chapter 6 and most of the other special chapters, Lazuli, Leaf, Solarflare, and Silvia are getting ready to leave for their island vacation, but Speed is still sleeping. Silvia and Lazuli decide to wake Speed up while Flare and Leaf talk about how nervous they are to ride on boat. Lazuli and Silvia come back, but Speed is still sleeping and he murmurs for Crystal to give him more time. Flare explains that is Vaporeon's name and Silvia drops Speed to wake him up. Flare tells him that Espeon and the others are already at the port and Speed rushes to his room to pack.

Later, Speed and the rest walk to the port. Lazuli asks Leaf how much do they have to walk and Leaf responds for 15 more minutes. Leaf asks if Silvia's family is coming along and Silvia says they are. Leaf decides that she should she should get to know the group better and re-introduces herself and her older sister by their real names; Speed remarks how cute those names are. Flare reveals his name and Silvia does as well, but she introduces herself's as Speed's girlfriend, revealing Speed's real name and their previous relationship. Lazuli gets mad at Speed, but Silvia calms her down. Lazuli remembers how Gai called Speed "Yellow" and Silvia almost tells that her that she was a champion, but Speed dashes her out. Lazuli attacks Speed for this and tries to punch him, but Speed (finally) dodges it quickly; but unfortunately, he hits his head onto a tree. Silvia tells Flare and Leaf that Speed was a champion and also a rescuer.

15 minutes later, the latter make to the boat and Flare and Leaf are equally surprised by Speed's past and how he gave up everything for Eevee, with Siliva being reminded of her own dad, Frank. Silvia apologizes to Speed for telling everyone his secrets, but Speed is glad that she only told the good ones. They group meets up with Espeon, Crystal, Eevee, Umbreon, and Silvia's family. Eevee hugs Speed and Gai notes that he didn't know Speed had a daughter, but Speed tells him that he lets her call him dad. Silvia notices Gai spiky hair and Gai says that he wanted to look more like Yellow, though her admits his fur adapted to electricity after being shocked by Speed multiple times during their training. Black overhears this and Speed tries to talk with him, but Black lashes out at him for lying about his identity. Gai stops them from their drama as they are making Eevee scared and Black walks off. Espeon is hugged by Axel, her little cousin, and his parents, Rin and Bolt, arrive along with Mrs. Mollie. Espeon introduces her family to the group and Axel goes to Eevee, who is shy, to make friends. Espeon's parents, Brian and Blaze, arrive and Brian instantly jokes about Leaf being a female version of him, but Blaze scold him; Leaf takes no offense to this.

Later, the entire group is set onboard and Speed gets distressed about being on the ocean; meanwhile, the legendary duo Brian and Frank meet. Leaf remarks how quick Eevee and Axel befriend each other. Crystal meets with Leaf and Flare to ask them if they are dating, but Flare denies it, leaving Flare and Leaf blushing. Later, Espeon decides that the group should get to know each other and she introduces herself by her real name, Pearl, and her family goes along to introduces themselves. The rest of the group introduces themselves with their real names, revealing Umbreon's and Eevee's real names to the group, Black and Sunshine. Bolt tells Speed that he knows him by his wife and says that she is right, Speed would be a wife for Pearl, leaving Pearl slightly distraught. Lazuli leaves the group and Leaf follows her to see what is going on. Lazuli tells her that she feel guilty for being treated kindly by the group despite her initial rudeness towards them. She then goes on how great a person Leaf is and how she adores her, and later wishes their mom was here to comfort her. Leaf tells her that she still sees her as her loving sister and tell Lazuli to be herself. Lazuli requests that she wants to be left alone to think and Leaf leaves her be. Flare asks Leaf if her sister is fine and Leaf says she is fine, while Silvia is impressed by Gai not doing anything weird. Gai tells her that he doesn't want to be a bad role model to the kids and the kids asks what he means, but Gai doesn't answer them. Sunshine asks if she can call Leaf sis and Axel asks Flare if he can call him big bro, and both of them agree. Leaf asks how old is Axel and he answer that he is 4. Flare says that Sunshine is 3 and Axel tells that she can go to school soon. Leaf says that Axel must have many friends due to his shiny coat, but he tells her that all the students make fun of him and how he hates them, and Sunshine tells him that's not very nice. Pearl checks up on them and Axel asks if he can live with her, but Pearl says that he has to ask his parents first. Axel runs to his parent along with Sunshine and Rin asks Pearl if it is a good idea to let Axel be with her. Flare says that they take good care of Sunshine and that convinces Rin that they are capable and decides to let Axel live with them after the vacation. Rin tells Pearl to enroll Axel into a school and instructs her how to take care of Axel. Lazuli regroup with the rest and mentions how she barely talks with Flare. Rin complements Lazuli on her appearance and Leaf asks which town she lives in. She responds Terra Town and the sisters turn depressed after hearing the name. Flare decides Lazuli needs a hug and Leaf agrees, so they hug her and the kids join too.

Several hours later, the group arrives at the destination and Leaf remarks how the island looks much more advanced than their home, but Lazuli heard something fall into the water and investigates. Frank tells the group that they will stay in his beach for the vacation and tells them they can get there by train. Leaf looks for her sister and Lazuli return to the group with a girl, another *Glaceon*, that washed up on the shore. Black, Frank, and Brian think they should take her to the police department to help her and not let her disturb their vacation, but the girl wakes up. The girl tells Pearl that she came there by a magnagate and lost her memories, then asks Pearl if she could stay with them. Pearl agrees to take her in, but Black is skeptical about the girl and that she might be a threat. The girl introduces herself as CC and that she feels fine. Frank remarks that he now has to pay for another seat and Lazuli is shocked by how similar CC's voice is to her own.

Later, the group arrives to Frank's Beach House and they are impressed by it and its view, but Frank mentions that it is full of dust. Speed and Bolt are eager to clean the house, but Frank and Blaze insists that they should both do it later, but Speed and Bolt zips on with their cleaning while the rest are playing on the beach. Axel asks Sunshine if he is her first friend, but she says that he is her second best friend. Leaf asks who her first and Pearl responds that the friend was her imaginary friend Vi she met with she was lost in town once; Leaf and Flare note how she got lost and know why Speed doesn't let her go to town, but Pearl feels ashamed. Sunshine tells them that Vi is real and Axel tells her that he believes Vi is real, and Sunshine hugs him. Silvia drags Gai into the water to play with them and Gai's fur is ruined. Mrs. Mollie talks with Leaf and Flare and asks Flare and Leaf where their family is. Flare and Leaf respond that they don't have parents and Mrs. Mollie apologizes for asking, comforting them that she lost her family as well and tells them that they all have to move on.

Later, Bolt announces that he and Speed finished cleaning the house and go off to get groceries, while the rest go into the house. Later, Silvia and Crystal are seen playing with Speed's handheld video game and then Speed and Bolt returns with the food. Pearl tells Speed that there are only four rooms, but they are big enough to share with everyone; Speed asks for his handheld back. Bolt goes to cook food and Leaf, Pearl, and Flare help out. Later, Bolt tells Speed to gather everyone to eat. Later (again), everyone eats their meal while Speed is caught in love related issues; Silvia tries to hit on Speed and Lazuli is sadden by how well Leaf and Flare are getting along. Blaze thanks Speed for taking care of her daughter and Speed claims that everyone helps each other. Bolt tells the group the plans for the vacation: the first day (now), they should take a lot of rest for tomorrow; on the second day, the adults will stay home while the kids can go off sight seeing in town; on the third day, they will all have a beach BBQ and rest a lot; on the fourth day and fifth day, they will try to visit all the tourist spots on the island and hope they can make it to the hot springs; on the sixth, they will go the mall and have the choice of going on more sight seeing or resting home; and on the seventh day, they all return home. Frank and presumably everybody agree to the plan.

Later, Leaf asks Bolt if he needs help washing the dishes, but Bolt tells her that Speed is help enough. Leaf spots Flare watching the stars and she checks on him to see if he is alright. Flare tells her that he wonders what is it like to have a mother and Leaf confesses that her mother died and that her dad abandoned her and her sister. Flare apologizes and to two mention how their older siblings took care of them. Flare thanks Leaf and cries a bit, but he stops when Leaf notices Flare's red eye. Leaf tells him that he can tell her anything and Flare confesses that he has something living in him and he doesn't really know what it is. Leaf tells him that it is fine because it doesn't harm him and she then confesses to Flare that she finds Flare cute. Flare calls her cuter and Leaf hugs him, but they are interrupted by Bolt to get inside.

Later, Silvia looks out through the girl's room and looks for the boy's room. Silvia convinces Crystal, Lazuli and Leaf to sneak into the boy's room with her while Pearl stays behind to take care of Axel and CC; Lazuli is only coming because she worries that Silvia might do something with Speed, Leaf joins them because Lazuli is coming, and Crystal joins them because they have more soda pops. They decide that Leaf should scout for the boy's room, but she is instantly caught by Bolt. Silvia checks to she how Leaf is doing and finds that she has been caught by Bolt and is in questioning. Silvia decides that they should abandon her, but Lazuli and Crystal refuse to leave her. Lazuli decides to go in to distract Bolt and asks for snack, but Bolt tells her that they are in the kitchen, sending Lazuli stunned on what to do next. Crystal goes in and asks for sodas, but Brian tells that they are in the mini-fridge, sending Crystal to drink them all. Silvia finally gets in the room and asks Frank to make her a sandwich, but Bolt decides that the situation is getting out of hand and sends them off. Frank and the other dad get something to drink, but they find the mini-fridge completely empty. Leaf tells Bolt that she can get more soda downstairs and Brian and Frank allow her to get them. Leaf talks with the girls and says has to get sodas down stairs. Later, Leaf brings them and Bolt dismisses her to bed. The girls quickly go up stairs and try to find the boy's room. They can't choose between two doors, but one of the door's knob is being unlocked by Pearl via psychic powers. They get in the room and find that it belongs to Rin and Mrs. Mollie, Pearl got the wrong door. Rin confronts the girls for wondering around, but she lets them join her and Mrs. Mollie in their reading. Lazuli, Leaf, and Crystal are thrilled by the books, but Silvia is bored to death.
