Weeks pass, and he doesn't catch a single card.
When cards become active, he goes looking. They just disappear before he gets there.
He's getting worried, and he's not sure he's satisfied with Kero's explanations.
He tries to focus on school.
Tyrians and Salmons in Cardverse
And once again a new card becomes active.

"Kero, any ideas?"
They're taking the Jeep, as usual. It's the fastest thing they've got.

They arrive.
Scott scopes out the area, looking for anything suspicious.
There is also a giant bird.
Stiles can't see it but it is very much a giant bird. It's creating quite a lot of wind.

Key becomes staff. Boy becomes magical girl.
"Windy, block the winds with your own!"
Windy does that, expanding and becoming huge and countering the wind as unsuspecting people run for cover from what feels like it might well become a storm or something.
But the giant bird is moving.

He can catch up to it.
All it takes is jumping high enough.
"Jump, carry me to the sky to do battle with the Fly."

He's in the air, and it's not getting away that easily.
"Obey my command! Fire God, come forth!"
trying_to_catch
Scott tries to ignore the jumping boy.
"Windy, block the card's path. Form a wall!"
Windy is not good at being solid but it can definitely do "strong gust of wind against giant bird," enough to prevent it from meaningfully advancing.

He sends a fireball towards the Fly card.
He lands, and he jumps again, this time hoping to catch it on its descent.

"Kero, who is this guy? Is he a sorcerer?"
Stiles tries to get a closer look, but he's too far away.

The card is falling from the hit with the fireball against a wall of wind. The card is pulled towards Scott and Stiles.
"I—I don't—"

Why wouldn't it.
This will be fun to explain to his family. They'd only heard rumors of the cardcaptor, and now there's proof.
Alistair doesn't hesitate long before deciding. They won't be finding out about this.
He and Jump take their leave.

"What. Kero, did you see that? Who was that guy, why did he have a Clow card?"
guardian_beast
"I don't know, I was trying to—he didn't seem familiar, I don't know if he was from some clan I knew... He was definitely a sorcerer, though."
trying_to_catch
"Kero, do you know any way to find sorcerers? Now that I've met him, could I use meditation to find him again?"
