It's Sunday. Zatch begged and begged, so finally Kiyo agreed to take him and Suzy to the botanical garden. Zatch and Suzy are happily romping about, when they meet Ivy, the woman who manages the botanical garden. When Kiyo used to ditch school, he would often come to the botanical garden alone to read and Ivy used to watch over him. Zatch instantly befriends Ivy. But something disastrous has disturbed the peace of this tranquil botanical garden. The roots and branches of the trees have turned into living creatures and started taking visitors to the garden hostage! It's all the work of a mamodo named Sugino who has the power to control plants and his human partner Haru. So Zatch and Kiyo face Sugino and Haru in battle, but with the plants on their side Sugino and his partner are powerful opponents! Still, Zatch and Kiyo are able to beat back Sugino's successive attacks, and finally free the visitors from the clutches of the plants. However, right as Kiyo shouts the spell 'Zaker!' the electricity that normally shoots from Zatch's mouth fizzles out. Haru doesn't lose the opportunity to make a comeback! (A spell loses power the more it is invoked. Once its power runs out, a spell can't be summoned; no matter how hard you try!) Having used up all their strength, Zatch and Kiyo are in big trouble! But just then Ivy, snatches Haru's spell book away from him and says to Kiyo - 'You're not alone!' Her strength of heart transmits to Kiyo, warms his heart and brings his emotions to a boil. He is suddenly able to invoke a second spell, 'Rashield', and defeats Sugino.
