Kieran was all alone in Kitakami.
No friends or family or any of the residents in Kitakami or any Pokemon at all, it was all emptiness for young Kieran.
"Where is everyone?" Kieran looked around and saw Florian over in Loyalty Plaza. "FLORIAN." Kieran said as he ran over only to be apprehended by The Loyal Three of Kitakami.
"Why are you here?" Florian asked as Kieran was being held by Okidogi and Munkidori,
"Because we're best friends, Florian." Kieran said as he struggled to free himself.
"We were never friends." Florian said as Kieran looked very heartbroken.
"How could you say that?" Kieran said as a toxic chain surrounded Florian the same type of chain that is around Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezendipiti.
"I wish I never met you, you're such a loser." Florian said as Kieran started to cry. "Now throw him off of that cliff.." Florin said as he Munkidori and Okidogi all tossed Kieran off of a nearby cliff.
"NOOOOOO FLORIAN, DON'T DO THIS TO ME, WE'RE BEST FRIENDS. NOOOOOOOO!" Kieran said as he fell from the cliff and into the Abyss.
However Kieran woke up in his room in Kitakami as he could hear rain hitting against his bedroom window.
"It was a nightmare." Kieran said as he got out of bed as the sounds of his socked feet walking across the floor could be heard in his room as Kieran went over to look at the misty and rainy night skies of Kitakami as a knock ws heard on his door.
"Hey Kiki, you couldn't sleep either?" Carmine asked entering Kieran's room as she also looked out the window at the misty rainy night sky over Kitakami. "Florian still hasn't returned my call, did your letter get sent to him?" Carmine asked as Kieran nodded.
"I did, this just isn't like him, do you think it's possible that he doesn't want to be our friend anymore?" Kieran asked as a tear formed in his eye.
"I'm starting to get this feeling that you might be right, Kiki. This just isn't like Florian to avoid us like this." Carmine said as Kieran looked down at his socked cladded feet wondering if this really is the end of his and Florian's Friendship as he took out the picture of the two of them from The Mask Festival.
"I'm sorry Florian if we ruined your life, we just wanted to be your friends was all, I thought we were after we came back from Area Zero. I just hope wherever you are, I hope you find happiness in your life without me and sis in it." Kieran said as his tears started to drip on the picture as Carmine cuddled her little brother as the rain continued to pour down in Kitakami.
Back in Paldea several hours have passed as Nemona, arven, Penny, and Florian's Mother were becoming very worried for him.
"It's been hours, I hope nothing bad has happened to Florian." Nemona said with worry.
"He's not answering his phone either, we need to go look for him." Arven suggested as Florian's Mom was on the phone talking to someone.
"Director Clavell it's Florian's Mother, my on left the house several hours ago, he's not answering his phone, and i'm very worried about him." Florian's Mom said on the Phone with Uva Academy's Director.
"That's very unfortunate, i'll call for a search team to help find Master Florian." Director Clavell said assuring his Mother that he will help find her missing son.
"Thank You." Florian's Mom said as she hung the Phone Up. "Director Clavell said he's sending a search team to look for Florian." Florian's Mom said as Nemona opened the door.
"Sorry, but Arven, Penny, and I are going to look for him." Nemona said as Arven and Penny nodded.
"Florian should be lucky he has such great friends, please find him and bring him back home." Florian's Mom said with a tear in his eye as the three kids left the house to go look for Florian.
"FLOOOOOORIIIIAAAN." Arven called out even though there are Wild Pokemon out.
"We should be careful, there are Wild Pokemon out." Penny said as Nemona looked even more worried.
"Do you think, Florian got attacked by any Wild Pokemon?" Nemona asked as with a worrying tone.
"He's the League Champion, do you think he would let Wild Pokemon attack him?" Nemona said as Penny just realized something.
"Guys I just realized something, Florian didn't take any of his Pokemon with him, all he did was put his shoes on and walked out the door." Penny said as now Arven and Nemona were starting to get worried.
"We better go find him, before he gets himself into any serious danger." Arven said as he, Nemona, and Penny continued their search for Florian.
Meanwhile Florian had isolated himself near a cliff as the boy looked to the sky wondering what's the purpose of his life.
"Why am I here?... What is my purpose?... I wish I never came here, all I ever did was ruin everyone's lives Nemona she should be champion of Paldea not me, Penny should still be in charge of Team Star, Arven probably never should've learned the truth involving his father, Kieran should have gotten Ogrepon and be champion of The Blueberry League, and Carmine was right her home had become a tourists destination for outsides like me who don't belong."
Florian had so many bitter and selfish thoughts running through his head as he heard his phone ring. Florian went to check his phone and it was from Nemona which Florian hit the decline button as Florian had over a dozen missed calls from Nemona, Penny, Arven, and Carmine.
"Why can't they just leave me alone?... They're all better off without me." Florian said as an Amber Alert played on his Phone which startled some nearby Houndour.
"Missing Child Alert. The Paldean and Blueberry League Champion Florian has gone missing, if found please contact his Mother in Cabo Poco." Florian read as he felt a sudden hit to his heart as Florian looked at all of the missed calls from Nemona, Arven, Penny, Carmine, and even his own mother as Florian took out a crumbled up letter which Kieran wrote to him.
"Kieran's letter, I was about to throw this away, and by doing so throwing my friendship with him away, I promised Carmine I would come to Kitakami and I acted selfish, how could I, I should have went with them, then invited Areven, Penny, and Nemona with me; and my mom she's been worried about me too, I bet my mom is crying just like Kieran is right now back in Kitakami...What have I been doing...I have been pushing away everyone who ever loved and cared about me because I felt like I ruined my friends lives...I better go home and make amends."
Before Florian could make his way back home, some nearby Houndour al lgrowled at Florian.
"Sorry I got to get home, i you want to battle I can...wait a minute...oh crud I left my Pokeballs back at home." Florian then look scared as he too ka step back as a nearby fence began to crack behind Florian due to his body touching the fence as the Houndour used flamethrower to ty to attack Florian as the fence was burned up and worst of all Florian began to lose his balance.
"OH NO, I'M GOING TO FALL. NEMONA, ARVEN, PENNY, KIERAN, CAMRINE, AND MOM PLEASE FORGIVE MEEEEEEEEEE..." Unfortunately for Florian none of them were there and Florian fell off of the nearby cliff as Florian laid on the sands of the beach nearby unconscious.
Is this the end for Florian? Will his friends find him? What will happen?
