Arven, Nemona, and Penny looked over to see a bunch of people gathered around a broken fence as the three teens ran over to see what was going on.

"Hey, what happened?" Nemona asked as there were Ambulances and Paramedics on the scene.

"Some Kid was attacked by Houndour and fell off the cliff, his leg is messed up, he's a Uva Academy Student like you." A Woman said as Nemona, Arven, and Penny feared the worst.

"FLORIAN." The three of them screamed as they ran over to the edge of the cliff and they saw Paramedics taking Florian on a stretcher.

"No Florian..." Nemona said in tears.

"We love you Florian, please be ok." Penny said as she was also in tears.

"We need to get in contact with Florian's Mom and let her know what happened, and we need to get to the Hospital as well." Arven said as Penny shouted from the cliff.

"Hey Paramedics, can you please hand us his Rotom Phone, we're his friends, and we need it to make an important call to someone." Penny shouted as a Paramedic gave Penny, Florian's Phone.

"Who are you going to call?" Nemona asked as Penny was looking for a name.

"Florian's friend from Kitakami, that Carmine." Penny said but Arven and Nemona were not pleased.

"Are you serious, her, no wy, they caused all of this." Nemona said as Penny looked upset.

"How could you say that Nemona, we can't have hostilities towards students from another school all because Florian became friends with them, if anything Florian needs their support more than ever as Penny dialed Carmine's number.

Meanwhile it was a rainy morning in Kitakami as both Kieran and carmine were looking depressed as ever, still not haring from Florian.

"Do you think maybe when we get back to Blueberry Academy he'll return?" Carmine asked with a tone of sadness.

"What if he doesn't come back to Blueberry Academy, what if he truly hates us and wished he'd never met any of us. Let's face it, Florian doesn't want to be our friend anymore, maybe we should just...move...on" Kieran said as he was crying because he thinks his best friend in the whole world now hates him and that he doesn't care about him or Carmine anymore

Then all of a sudden Carmine heard her Phone Ring.

"IT'S FLORIAN!" Carmine said with excitement as Camine answered the Phone.

"Florian, what happened to you, Kieran has been crying his eyes out for days." Carmine said as the voce on the other end wasn't Florian's

"Is this Carmine? I happen o be one of Florian's friends from Uva Academy. He was involved in a terrible accident and is being rushed to the Hospital." Those Words from Penny really hit Carmine hard as the Blueberry Academy Student was in shock.

"Oh no, is that what happened, ARE YOU TELLING THE TRUTH?" Carmine asked as Kieran was tapping his socked toes on the floor in anticipation.

"I am, Florian fell off a cliff after being attacked by Houndour and is being rushed to the Hospital." Penny said as Carmine felt very sad as she looked at Kieran.

"Florian was attacked by Houndoom and fell off of a cliff, he's being taken to a Hospital." Carmine said as Kieran fell to his knees.

"NO FLORIAN." Kieran said as the boy was crying uncontrollably hearing that his best friend was involved in a terrible accident.

"Kiki, we're going to Paldea, we need to be there for Florian. As for you on the other end, Me and my brother Kieran are coming to Paldea and we're going to support him whether you like it or NOT." Carmine said hanging up as she and Kieran both knew where they must go.

"Let's go Sis, we need to be there for Florian, no matter what." Kieran said drying up his tears and looking confident as Carmine nodded.

"Right behind you Kiki, Florian is counting on us, I just hope and pray to Arceus that he'll be ok." Carmine said in a worrying tone knowing how much Florian means to both her and especially Kieran.

Several Hours later At the Hospital Nemona, Arven, Penny, and Florian's Mom all stood in anticipation, waiting to hear about Florian's condition as Florian was undergoing surgery on his left knee.

"Poor Florian, I wish we knew what was wrong with him, we should have been there to help." Nemona said in tears.

"Penny why did you call those two Blueberry Academy Students, we don't need them here." Arven said still with a tone of hostility.

"Arven you and Nemona both need to stop being hostile towards them, we've never even met them, if anything they mean as much to Florian as we do." Penny aid as Arven put his arms around his chest.

"Just don't expect me to be nice to them.." Arven said with his arms crossed.

Then the door to the waiting room opened with Carmine and Kieran entering the waiting room.

"We're here, how's Florian?" Carmine asked as Nemona stood in front of them.

"He would recover faster if you two weren't here." Nemona said as Carmine looked angry.

"GO EAT DIRT, ME AND KIKI HAVe EVERY RIGHT TO BE HERE." Carmine snapped.

"YOU GO EAT DIRT YOURSELF AND SAY AWAY FRM MY FLORIAN." Nemona snapped back as both girls looked like they were about to fight and not with Pokemon but with fists.

"Go home Kid, Florian is my best friend not yours's. By the way here's your letter to Florian he was going to toss it where it belongs, the trash." Arven said showing Kieran the crumbled up letter that he sent to Florian.

"You crumbled that up because you're jealous of how good of a friend Florian was to me." Kieran said not backing down as Penny was trying to play peacemaker.

"Enough everyone stop fighting, this is not what Florian wants, his mother is over there emotional and all we're doing is fighting and acting like what happened to him is our fault. We need to al lbe supportive of Florian because he's all of our friend." Penny said in tears as Nemona, Carmine, Arven, and Kieran all stood silent as Director Clavell, Director Cyrano, and Ms. Briar entered the waiting room.

"What's with all of the noise children, your friend is in terrible condition and all you are doing is fighting." Clavell said as Arven looked upset.

"Director why do we even have anything to do with Blueberry Academy, why were me, Nemona, and Penny not invited to the School Trip to Kitakami, we could've been there to prevent these two from stealing Florian from us." Nemona said as Clavell doesn't seem pleased with Arven's tone.

"Nemona you need to change your tone this instant, i'm sorry but Florian and three other students were selected, it was an oversight but it shouldn't be too big of a deal." Clavell said Cyrano took his turn next.

"Carmine suggested we make Florian a transfer student because he became close with her and Kieran and we thought maybe he would want to check out our academy and reconnect with them, he rose through our ranks faster than anyone, also he made Kieran see the error of his ways." Cyrano said as Kieran slightly blushed in embarrassment.

"You took our Florian, he doesn't belong in your school, he belongs in Uva Academy with his real friends." Nemona said as Carmine had heard enough.

"Stop trying to control him. Me and my brother Kieran have been emotional for the past few days after he went back to Paldea on his own, he could've come with us but he was going back to meet with you guys and bing him to Kitakami and it had been days since we heard back from him. Did you have anything to do with him not answering his calls?" Carmine asked as Nemona glared at her.

"Maybe your sob story wouldn't make me want to throw up if you never met him in the first place." Nemona yelled back as Ms. Briar got in the middle.

"BREAK IT UP, ALL OF YOU." Ms. Briar yelled out of frustration as both Academy Directors also looked upset by the behavior of their students while a student at both academies was in critical condition.

"Let them fight if anything you pt Florian in danger by going down into Area Zero to snoop in my Father's research, that should have been me, Nemona, and Penny down there discovering that Terapogos Pokemon since it was a part of my father's research." Arven said angrily as Clavell and Cyrano both approached Arven.

"Master Arven i'm this close to suspending you, all of you kids need to stop this fighting at once, Master Florian is in serious condition and having knee surgery, he could've died, maybe I have a theory but maybe all of the tress that you kids put on him might have lead him to walking out and causing him to get hurt in the first place." Clavell said as Penny, Nemona, Arven, Carmine, and Kieran all remained quiet.

"I'm sorry if some of you were excluded from the School Trip and I had no idea you were Professor Turo's son, but that doesn't mean that there needs to be any hostilities between any of you." Ms. Briar explained as the kids were still quiet.

"Young Florian doesn't need to have any of this stress pushed on him by his friends if anything you guys aren't being good friends to him by arguing and blaming. You kids should all be there by his side hoping he recovers from his accident." Cyrano said as Penny began to speak up.

"That's what i've been trying to tell you guys all this time. Nemona, Arven you two have shown nothing but hostility towards Florian's Blueberry Academy Friends, we shouldn't be hostile we should make friends with eachother because that's what Florian would want, we need to be by his side because we're all his friends." Penny said as Nemona, Arven, Kieran, and Carmine all stood silent before Kieran spoke up.

"She right you guys, Florian means so much to all of us, all he wanted was for us all to go on an adventure together, instead we all did nothing but fight. A while back I grew obsessed with wanting t obe like Florian because I thought he had it all and when sis lied about them meeting Ogrepon I felt hurt and betrayed and it grew into an obsession and I ended up hurting those around me and it was sis who asked Florian to come to Blueberry Academy to battle me but I felt like it was more as a way to save me from myself." Kieran said with tears in his eyes.

"Now i'm starting to feel bad for how I was towards you guys, I thought Florian replaced me, Nemona, and Penny with you guys, but it turns out it wasn't true, he sees all of his friends as his treasure on his treasure hunt and instead all of our negative emotions became too much for him and now he's in surgery and it's all of our faults. I'm sorry little buddy." Arven said with deep grief as Carmine and Nemona were also putting their emotions away from trying to tear eachother's heads off.

"I'm sorry for being so judgmental to everyone from your Academy at the beginning, I wasn't looking forward to the school trip because my home in Kitakami was becoming a Tourist Destination and also I feel bad that I made Florian lie to Kiki and it drove a wedge in their friendship and caused him to change. but after what happened in Area Zero i'm glad the two of them are friends again even though Florian started avoiding us and it was al lbecause of how hostile I was to everyone from Uva Academy." Carmine said with regret.

"I'm glad I met Florian in the beginning he was so adorable with his smile, his hair, I knew we showed up a bit late on the first day, but I feel like I gained both a rival and friend from the start and in a way I think we all became attached to Florian and changed his life for the better and sadly he may be right, I feel like we all ruined it by arguing and fighting instead of accepting one another and being friends with eachother because that's what Florian would have wanted." Nemona said with tears in her eyes.

"Come on kids, I think all of you should make amends with eachother as we hope Florian's surgery becomes a success." Ms. Briar said as Arven extended his hand to Kieran as Kieran shook Arven's hand with a smile.

"I'm sorry little buddy." Arven said as Kieran blushed.

"That's what you call Florian. That makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside." Kieran said with a giggle.

"Nemona right? I don't see why we can't be friends." Carmine said as Nemona placed her fingers over her chin thinking about what Carmine is saying.

"Well just don't say anything bad about us Uva Academy Students and I won't say anything bad about Blueberry Academy Students." Nemona said as Carmine realized that she had to swallow her pride for Florian's sake.

"Yeah you're right." Carmine said as she and Nemona also shook hands as the door to the operating on that Florian was in opened up as a Doctor came out.

"You're Florian's friends, family, and School Directors and Teacher right? His surgery was a success." The Doctor said as Nemona, Arven, Penny, Kieran, and Carmine were al lexcited for the news.

"That's great to hear, my boy, when wil lhe be out?" Florian's Mom had asked as the Doctor continued to talk.

"The boy needs to rest and undergo rehab to be able to walk again and it could take weeks depending on how his rehab goes." The Doctor said as all Director Clavell was the next to speak.

"All of his friends from both Uva and Blueberry Academy have come to see him, when can they go in and visit?" Director Clavell asked as the Doctor would answer.

"The boy needs rest after having surgery and he's being transferred to a regula medical room so when he recovers, i'll let you all go see him." The Doctor said as that news excited Kieran, Carmine. Nemona, Arven, and Penny.

"Hey we should al lget him a Get Well Soon Gift." Kieran suggested as Penny agreed.

"That sounds like a great idea, there's a gift shop nearby, let's go check it out." Penny said as she, Kieran, Arven, Carmine, and Nemona all went to the gift shop to get Florian a Get Well Soon gift as Florian's Mom was talking with Ms. Briar, Cyrano, and Clavell.

"Your son is truly blessed with such great friends from two academies, hey Cyrano, maybe we should consider merging our Academys together." Clavell said as Cyrano laughed.

"Calvin that sounds like a good idea, Florian is the Champion of both Academies plus it doesn't seem fair that our students should travel so far to be together when we can have them all together you know." Cyrano said as he and Calvin both laughed.

"Hey why don't we have our students have a tournament much like what we have here in Paldea known as The Academy Ace Tournament but with both Uva and Blueberry Academy Students." Clavell said as Cyrano liked the idea.

"Let's talk more about it in the Cafeteria." Cyrano aid as he and Clavell went to the Cafeteria aas Ms. Briar was talking with Florian's Mom.

"Your son really is a good boy to have good friends and i'm sure he'll be happy to see them as soon as he wakes up. Listen i'm sorry for bringing him down to Area Zero." Ms. Briar said as Florian's Mom shook her head.

"Florian does have a bit of a reckless spirit in him, I guess having friends is what drives him to be that way. I'm going to go get something to eat and something for the kids, what does Carmine and Kieran like?" Florian's Mom asked as Ms. Briar looked a bit stumped.

Well ummm, let's go see what's to eat in the Cafeteria and we might find out for ourselves." Ms. Briar said as she and Florian's Mom went with the Two Directors to the Hospital Cafeteria.

How will Florian react to see his Friends after he wakes up? Will it be a tearful reunion or heartbreak?

Find out next time.
