When visiting student Li Showron joins Sakura's grade four class, she immediately senses something strange about him. Her suspicions are confirmed when he rudely demands the Clow Cards from her in the schoolyard. Things get even stranger when, on the way home from school, Sakura and Madison are caught in a storm, which turns out to be the escaped Thunder Card announcing its presence. Soon, wearing one of Madison's technologically correct battle costumes, Sakura tries to capture the card, but success only comes with the help of the new kid, Li Showron, and the Shadow Card.
