Forest King,

Show Me Where You At!

The old lady turns into a yellow goblin and tells them to follow him and that he'll lead them to the Forest king, he leads them to a creepy forest path and the Leprechaun believes it to be spooky, uncle Grandpa tells him not to worry about it and that nothing can hurt him in the Forest King's Forest Kingdom, just as long as he's pure of heart and this worries the Leprechaun.

The yellow goblin leads them to the Forest king and Uncle Grandpa tells him that there's nothing to be afraid of in Ireland, especial not for two pure hearted boys and wonders what can possibly harm them, the Leprechaun notices a purple creature on Uncle Grandpa's head and tries to point it out to him, Uncle Grandpa only believe that the Leprechaun is trying to compliment him and he finally points it out and wonders if he can feel it. Uncle Grandpa tells him he can't and that he's pure of heart, the Leprechaun turns to a rooster dragon and tell it he's not afraid of it and that he's a pure hearted young boy-, the dragon rooster then sets the Leprechaun on fire and he collapses, Uncle Grandpa knows that it should tickle.

Uncle Grandpa then brings the Leprechaun to a leaf boat and tells the yellow goblin to wait for them, and they hop in the boat and leave. Uncle Grandpa puts his hand in the water and pulls out a giant monster fish and tells the Leprechaun he's a fisherman, and wants he wants him to do it now. The Leprechaun tells Uncle Grandpa that he has allergies. Uncle Grandpa tells the Leprechaun to do it or wonders if he's not pure of heart.

Another Uncle Grandpa takes the Leprechaun by the arm and tells him it's time to meet the Forest King, the Uncle Grandpa from before turns into another yellow goblin.

Uncle Grandpa and the Leprechaun are running together in the woods until they come up to a talking tree and it sees that they're here to go see the Forest King, the tree informs them that he's away at a video game convention and kindly asked him to watch his big bag of gold. The Leprechaun see the bag of gold and is amazed by it, the tree wants to know what he can do for them, Uncle Grandpa wants spaghetti while the Leprechaun screams WE'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THE GOLD PLEASE! The tree agrees as long as they can prove that they're pure of heart and tells Uncle Grandpa to go first, Uncle Grandpa states that he has a Level. 25 pure of heart card with +5 boy-like wonder power, the tree congratulates him. Now he wants the Leprechaun to go now, he pulls up his cards and they all describe him as evil, so he makes up his own card that describes him as "boy" with a +5 hat power, the tree accepts this and allows them to go look at the gold , the tree stops Bradly and tells him to see him real soon in a creepy manner. Uncle Grandpa tells Bradly that this is all the gold in Ireland and the Leprechaun proceeds to scare the animals away and proceeds to hug the bag of gold.

The Forest King thinks that the face Uncle Grandpa is making is funny and wants to know what is seriously up, he looks over and sees that his gold is gone, he asks Uncle Grandpa what had happen to his gold and Uncle Grandpa tells him that a Leprechaun took it. The Forest King sees that this is a bad problem as gold keeps the forest together, he points out a blue goblin and how weak his legs are to support him, he then points out a deer and wonders if he's supposed to look like that. The Forest King wonders what are they going to do, and he doesn't know and that it'll take all the sparkles of a rainbow to capture a Leprechaun and this give him an idea, The Forest King wants to know if he's okay, and Uncle grandpa tells him to gather his forest creatures together and to leave the rest to him.

The Leprechaun is walking alone in the forest with the gold, he comes across a squirrel and tells him he's walking here, the squirrel wonders if he can spare some change, the Leprechaun tells him no way and that he works hard for his money and it's his, he leaves and the squirrel turns around and give the camera a creepy look. The Leprechaun comes across a deer and wonders if he can spare him some change, the Leprechaun believes that he'll just spend it on soda and candy, he leaves and the deer gives the camera a creepy stare. The Leprechaun hides behind a rock and sees that everyone is after his luck coins, a blue goblin appears from his beard and he kicks him out of here. The Leprechaun figures that he needs to put his gold somewhere secret and wonders where he can, he notices a rainbow next to him and he gets an idea, he uses the rainbow to take his gold to another place. Uncle Grandpa reveals himself to be a bush and tackles the Leprechaun and holds him down. The Leprechaun believes that he followed the rainbow and he should've been safe, Uncle Grandpa explains that it's no rainbow and that it's just Tiger.

The Forest King comes out from behind a tree and sees that Uncle Grandpa retrieved his gold and knows that his forest can thrive once again and he proceeds to throw gold to the animals and they enjoy it. Now because Uncle Grandpa returned his gold and for that he grants Uncle Grandpa one wish, Uncle Grandpa thinks hard at this and his wish is for the destruction of all Leprechauns, this shocks the Leprechaun and the Forest King gives Uncle Grandpa a magical crystal.
